2006-08-16 Low Carb: Health and Medical Conditions: Low-glycemic index diet promotes weight loss, cardiovascular risk reduction

At the end of the study, participants on all four diets had lost weight, and there were no significant differences between diets in the reduction in body fat, decrease in waist size or amount of weight loss (an average of 4. 2 to 6. 2 percent of body weight). There were significant differences, however, in the likelihood of reaching the clinical goal of 5 percent weight loss. Between the two high-carbohydrate diets, lowering the glycemic index nearly doubled fat loss; this effect was stronger in women and did not occur among those on high-protein diets. Participants on the high-protein, high-glycemic index diet had increased levels of total and LDL (bad) cholesterol, while those on the high-protein, low-glycemic index diet and high carbohydrate, low-glycemic index diet experienced reductions in total and LDL cholesterol.

One only has to look at the recent history of Atkins to get a clear sense of how fickle the diet business can be. The companys diet and food products were all the rage at one point, and then, seemingly out of nowhere, the company filed for bankruptcy. Atkins is only one of dozens of examples one can give of the boom and bust nature of weight loss companies. Furthermore, have you have ever wondered why the major diet book publishers, such as Rodale, Inc, the publisher of the South Beach Diet and the now popular Sonoma Diet, feel compelled to launch several new diet books a year They do this to combat the inevitable cyclical nature of the weight loss business, as consumers move from one diet to the next in the hope of finding their permanent weight loss solution.

2006-10-06 ASU Ram Page Online - Effort needed for weight loss

Could it be that the real secret behind all of the pills, extracts and yummy oils is simply good, nutritional diet and exercise It almost seems too simple to be true. The idea that one could lose weight by observing proper portioning of healthy food items and increasing activity levels to burn extra calories without the help of the latest weight-loss miracle in pill form seems too, well, natural. I dont doubt there is scientific research behind each of the methods I tried, and that in some instances, with proper diet and exercise, they might actually help. What I doubt is that many people actually follow that caveat and simply inundate themselves with pills and potions to counteract poor diets and insufficient exercise.

Orlistat is a weight loss medication that is taken with meals to inhibit the absorption of dietary fat.

). Most people can lose weight, but keeping the weight off isnt so easy. Youve lost 5 pounds to get into a dress for a wedding. Youve trimmed down 20 pounds just in time for summer.

2006-08-31 Infoshop News - Legislating Weight Loss: Is Fatness a Federal Affair

Marilyn Wann, a member of the NAAFA board and author of FAT. SO: Because You Dont Have to Apologize for Your Size, adds that the push toward weight loss actually gives nutrition and exercise a bad rap. "The categories of overweight and obesity are nothing but a danger to public health," Wann said. "Thin people will enjoy better health if they eat their veggies and enjoy regular physical activity. But as long as those health-enhancing habits are linked to weight-loss goals, everyone will avoid them. The average person wants to avoid punishment.
