Weve gotten used to taking pills for much that ails us, but these days, the medicine cabinet is looking like a rogues gallery. We dont lack for alternatives. Plenty of research shows that exercise, diet and other lifestyle changes are effective weapons against many chronic conditions.

You can adjust your diet in several ways to lower levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol. Your LDL level may drop by 5 percent if you keep foods high in saturated fat (meat and full-fat dairy products) off the menu. Every additional gram of soluble fiber per day may reduce LDL levels by about 2 mg/dL. Diets that have included margarines fortified with sterols - compounds that block cholesterol absorption - have brought about LDL drops of 10 to 20 percent in some studies. Low-fat diets heavy on the vegetables (10 servings a day) and legumes and nuts (4 servings a day) have dialed down LDL levels by almost 10 percent.

If the woman who can afford personal trainers and personal chefs struggles to lose the weight and keep it off, then you know its going to be hard for everyday people like me.

2008-11-21 Diet Pill Doubles Weight Loss of Other Drugs

The next step are Phase III trials in which doctors will also try to regulate diet, something that Astrup said could lead to the kind of weight loss associated with gastric-bypass surgery.

People taking NeuroSearch A/Ss obesity pill tesofensine lost twice as much weight as men and women using approved weight loss drugs, Danish researchers said on Thursday.

Tesofensine works by interfering with three brain chemicals -- noradrenline, serotonin and dopamine -- involved in regulating hunger. People who take the pill are less hungry and feel full more quickly.

Benefits of exercise are many: like losing weight, reducing stress, relieving symptoms of depression and anxiety, boosting your mood, better sleep, increased bone density, improved quality of life apart from improved heart and lung functioning. Praise your kids when they lose weight and be supportive. Encourage them to do chores around the house rather than spending time in front of the television. Enroll children in some dance, karate class or any other physical activity. Walking up and down the stairs, jumping rope or yoga asanas are great options.

The business entrepreneur and martial arts expert is scathing about diets, labelling them lies. He reckons diet pills, potions and weight-loss drugs are secret killers and his thoughts about the risk of surgery is the stuff of nightmares.

Putting your goals in writing is widely recommended. "It creates accountability - a powerful incentive," explains Mr Thompson. But be careful what you write. "The language you use to state your goal is important. I encourage clients to set towards, not away from goals. For example, rather than saying I want to lose weight, Ill get them to say I want to reach my ideal weight. The unconscious mind doesnt like losing anything - so the way you frame your goal needs to be positive. "
