Trainer explains how the UFC star drops 23 pounds — then gains them back overnight.

Have you ever looked at Georges St-Pierre on TV, then caught a glimpse of your beer gut in the mirror and thought: There’s no way that guy can only be 170 pounds. I mean, look at him.

No? Just me?

Well, if you think that number’s a little low, you’re right.

The man behind the legend that is GSP offered a glimpse of the extreme measures ‘Rush’ must go to make weight before a fight. And it should come with a warning: Don’t try this at home. Seriously.

Firas Zahabi, head coach of the UFC welterweight champ, spoke to the Toronto Star’s Morgan Campbell about some of St.-Pierre’s secrets.

Zahabi, who spends six days a week working with GSP, says the champ’s walking around weight is 194. But dropping those pounds in time for a fight is actually a breeze for a specimen like him.

Those who ate Greek yogurt daily in one study lost 81 percent more abdominal fat.

A colleague—I’ll call her Mary—was in my office recently, complaining about her body with just those words. I listened, nodding sympathetically, because I couldn’t speak—I had a mouth full of almonds and was washing them down with chocolate milk. Mary stared at me as though I’d just backed over her dachshund. “You eat all the time, and you never gain weight!” she exclaimed. “What, is there a picture in your attic that gets fatter while you stay thin?”

“I never gain weight because I eat all the time,” I explained, reaching for a napkin. “Not snacking is exactly the wrong thing to do!”

Our bodies evolved to graze; when food gets scarce, we start to retain fat as a way of protecting ourselves from famine. “That’s exactly what happens when you don’t snack between meals,” I told her. “Your body doesn’t know where its next meal is coming from, so it’s afraid to shed the extra pounds.” Worse, you wind up eating more than you need at every meal.

This morning tip lets you eat more of something delicious in order to get your bikini body slim.

Most diets call for eating less and cutting out certain foods completely. Which is why, when we came across a new weight-loss tip that involves eating more of something that’s both delicious and—get this—pretty damn fatty, we had to share it.

In a small-scale study, researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a hospital in Boston affiliated with Harvard Medical School, found that when subjects ate walnuts at breakfast, they felt more satiated than those who didn’t snack on nuts. In fact, the walnuts were so filling that hours later, at lunch time the people in the study reported still feeling full.

Among the options: a breakfast food that helps you lose twice as many pounds than if you ate a bagel.

As spring nudges its way forward, some of us are left with an unpleasant souvenir of winter—an extra “layer.” Though that winter coat might have kept us warm through the long, cold season, by spring it’s time to shed the padding. The good news is many springtime foods promote weight loss naturally, and not just because they’re lighter than those hearty winter dishes. Here are my top picks for spring foods to help you slim down.

A weight-loss plan linked to Kate Middleton’s family will be in bookstores soon.

First there was Atkins, then came South Beach, and now there’s the Dukan Diet. Dr. Pierre Dukan, dubbed the Dr. Atkins of France, is responsible for Europe’s most popular diet book and the latest carnivorous weight-loss plan. In April, the book will be released in the U.S. and it’s already cooking up controversy.

The book outlines a protein-rich, low-fat approach to weight loss. According to The New York Times, there are four phases of the Dukan diet: the first involves a strict menu of non-fatty protein (skinless turkey, chicken breast, low-fat beef, or fish), plus 1.5 tablespoons of oat bran daily and loads of water. In phase two, dieters are introduced to veggies. Phase three, they’re allowed two slices of bread, a serving of cheese and fruit and two servings of carbs a day, with a wine-and-dessert allowance two days a week. In the final phase of the diet, “Dukamaniacs” (as they’re dubbed) can eat anything they want, provided they return to phase one’s protein, oat bran, and water regimen one day per week.

New York Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia reported to spring training Monday in Tampa telling everyone who would listen about his off-season weight loss, which the 6-foot-7 ace said totaled 25 pounds. How’d he do it?

No more Cap’n Crunch.

“I used to eat that stuff by the box,” he said.

Sugar is the second leading ingredient in Cap’n Crunch — roughly 40 percent of the content, depending on the variety. Assuming that Sabathia actually ate a whole box every day as he claimed, nixing the Cap’n Crunch would’ve saved him from consuming more than 2,000 calories and nearly a full cup of sugar a day.

A diet packed with “resistant starch” is the little-known secret to getting and staying slim.

Eating a diet packed with the right kind of carbs is the little-known secret to getting and staying slim for life.

When we talk about the right kind of carbs, we mean Resistant Starch. Hundreds of studies conducted at respected universities and research centers have shown Resistant Starch—such as grains, beans, and legumes—helps you eat less, burn more calories, feel more energized and less stressed, and lower cholesterol.

Sound too good to be true? Here are eight evidence-based reasons you must get carbs back in your life if you are ever to achieve that coveted sleek, slim look.

Cut out lots of beverages, and you can save hundreds of calories a day.

Fortunately, there is an alternative approach to the drastic diet and exercise revisions that Americans find so difficult to embark on and sustain. The idea is to start with smaller, easier changes that will, at the very least, halt the weight-creep and give encouraging results.

“We find that people who make small changes will often lose a few pounds,” said James O. Hill, Ph.D., director of the Anschutz Health and Wellness Center at the University of Colorado at Denver. “Those who start with small changes often end up able to make more and bigger changes and lose more weight.”

Some premade guacamole dips contain little avocado but plenty of chemicals.

Two out of three people in America today are either overweight or obese. That means every time you sit down in an airplane or a packed movie theater, more likely than not you’re going to wind up as the lean center of a fat sandwich. But as you look right and left and see nothing but heft, you can’t help but think, What happened?

How did we all get so darn fat?
