Granted, I’m biased, but I think in some ways, my fitness blog / pod & vodcast platform / video repository is close to what you’re looking for. One article I wrote in particular was straight-up GTD, though usually I keept it to fitness and health.

Since I’m an avid fan of 43 Folders, I’d love some feedback from people reading this comment about how I can make my site more useful and enjoyable.

BTW, I am aware, and I’ll warn you ahead of time, that I have a little “salesy” / “hypey” product info in certain places on the site. I know that turns some people off (me included depending on my mood), but it also gets my courses into the hands of people who can benefit (and many have, thankfully).

That said, the majority of the site is hype-free, and full of quality content, with a decidely “behavioral” slant to fitness. (After all, it doesn’t matter what you know about getting in shape unless you DO it.) In fact, inspired by people like Steve Pavlina (www.stevepavlina.com), I’ve decided to make almost everything I do freely available. Still gotta make a living, but I’m definitely turning away from hypey sales letters when I can.

Anyway, here is a link: http://www.jeremymarkum.com/fitness/fitportal/full-entry/getting-things-done-sage-style/

(That references the GTD-ish article, otherwise just go to the main page to access the rest.)

Again, I welcome feedback and input from this community!

Some resources: Adele Puhn “The 5 day Miracle Diet” (balanced carbs, healthy eating, excercise. Covert Bailey “Fit or Fat” (outmoded diet ideas, but good agitprop for exercise - like “Be A Better Butter Burner!”). The Philosopher’s Diet (forget the author, but probably the most geek friendly way to think about these things). I fall off the fit wagon alot, but often find myself listening to the 43F podcasts while on the treadmill actually… IMO, the diet exercise habit is like the hipster PDA: better to get moving than to refine the plan too minutely at the beginning.

I’ve been using SparkPeople - http://www.sparkpeople.com - good resource in terms of articles, tools and tracking progress

try the hackers diet, http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/ , which ive found to work. it is not a real-time podcast, but rather just some common-sense and tools to use.

Specifically for dieting, Three Fat Chicks is a good resource. http://www.3fatchicks.com/

For running-specific stuff, I’ve really come to like http://www.coolrunning.com. They have a number of different plans for different starting fitness levels, and the community on the forums is great for motivation.

I would second the Hacker’s Diet. Good basic weight loss and a simple exercise plan.

In fact, I like it so much that I wrote a web based version of the tools. http://www.nmt.edu/~carmiac/whdt

all diets really come down to eating sensible amounts. once you have a sense of how much calories, protein, carbs, and fat you should be eating a day (lots of sites have advice on this, or one visit to a dietician should do it for you - it’s good to get advice specific to your body type and activity level), the hard part is tracking it.

the best way i’ve found to really do that is fitday: http://www.fitday.com/ it does one thing, and it does it well (and for free): keeps track of everything you put in your body (calories, fat, carbs, protein, and a whole bunch of nutrients)

if you are going to use it, there’s an initial annoying phase of manually entering in nutrition info for foods not in the database, but after a while pretty much anything you eat will either be in their system or in your “custom foods.” nice features to get averages over time and such too.

food diaries keep you honest. this is an easy way to do it.

My favorites: Stumptous (http://www.stumptuous.com/cms/index.php): for weight lifting and functional training ideas - aimed at women, but also good for guys.

Calorie King (Mac friendly, download for your computer: http://www.calorieking.com/software/) and Fitday (online: http://www.fitday.com/): for tracking eating / excercise / weight. I started with FitDay and then migrated to CalorieKing because a) I wanted the records to be on my computer not theirs and b) I don’t ALWAYS have a net connection.

The site www.nutritiondata.com has tons of nutrition information compiled by the USDA and methods of putting that information to use to work off some of that flab off your body. The only health site of note I’ve found.
