You resolved to read more, budget better, eat healthier and exercise more frequently, but only three weeks into the new year, the boring books, countless lentils and your perpetually throbbing thighs have you seriously considering reverting back to your old, unhealthy and much more chill ways. But...
We know, we know, the couch is a safe space where you can exist on cheesy chips and streaming binges while ignoring your bothersome real-life responsibilities. But if you plan on having the discipline necessary to follow through on your New Year’s fitness resolutions — and want...
When it comes to working out, we’re not all strongmen like Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (aka The Mountain). In fact, many of us could go our entire lives and still have no clue how a lat pull-down differs from an incline bench. Which is to say, there’s no shame in...
The mirror suggests it; the scales confirm it: You have, through hardcore dedication, a strict New Year’s resolution and/or a terrible stomach virus, managed to lose some weight. But… lose it where? Where does the fat actually go? Do we digest it? Poop it out? Is it...
The holidays are all about absurdly gluttonous meals and sugary treats, both of which contribute to a horrifying fact we learned a while back: Americans typically gain one to three pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, and most of us never lose it. Argh. But don’t...
Sure, there are presents and spiked eggnog and A Christmas Story playing on a continuous 168-hour loop on TV, but outside of that, the whole holiday season is pretty damn stressful. You’re spending money you don’t have and hanging around your family far more than you’d like,...

You’re heading to the happy hour before the yearly office holiday party straight from work, and you realize you missed your window to eat anything substantial for dinner. Inevitably — be it from hitting the booze too hard on an empty stomach, or eating 30 bacon-wrapped dates...
So you made the mistake of promising yourself that you’d at least attempt to eat healthy this Thanksgiving, and now there are several mountains of stuffing and a trough of turkey gravy situated directly in front of you. Your grandmother says, “Go ahead and dig in! You...
Men aren’t strangers to “moisturizing” their privates, even though, admittedly, silky-smooth skin isn’t normally the first thing on our minds when we reach for that lotion. But should we be moisturizing down there to keep our skin healthy? According to dermatologist Lisa Chipps, the answer is a...
There has never been so much meat available as there is today. We’re so far beyond our local hunting ground days that not only can you buy your familiar beef and pork at the supermarket, you can even bid on exotic meats like Spanish octopus or green iguana on Facebook. One day all...
