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. Of course, profits and revenues from various diet plans can continue

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. When good nutrition and regular exercise are used to punish us fatties, its a poison pill that gets in the way of everybody enjoying good health habits.

2006-08-25 The Best And Worst Diet Foods - Health Site

THE SCIENCE: There is some evidence that low-carb diets -- though not specific products -- promote weight loss. But its not the lack of carbs thats key: "Its the fact that people on low-carb diets tend to eat more protein, which is very satisfying and filling," explains Jonathan Waitman, MD, a clinical nutrition specialist in the Comprehensive Weight Control Program at Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City. A recent University of Washington study found that people on a diet that was 30 percent protein ate fewer calories and reported less hunger than those who followed a meal plan that was 15 percent protein -- the diets had identical amounts of carbs, which suggests that protein really made the difference.

Types Of Diets

Formula diets are weight-loss plans that replace one or more meals with a liquid formula. Most formula diets are balanced diets containing a mix of protein, carbohydrate, and usually a small amount of fat. Formula diets are usually sold as liquid or a powder to be mixed with liquid. Although formula diets are easy to use and do promote short-term weight loss, most people regain the weight as soon as they stop using the formula. In addition, formula diets do not teach you how to make healthy food choices, a necessary skill for keeping your weight off.

2006-09-03 Overweight Women in Advertising - Associated Content

Dove appears to have started a trend in advertising. At one time beauty products and weight loss shakes were endorsed by models with perfect figures twirling around on television. I have spent years wondering why any advertising firm would think a woman who stands 5 feet 8 inches tall, and weighs all of 100 pounds, would be a good spokesperson for a weight loss shake. With the release of Slim-Fasts new Optima shakes, Ive noticed the anorexic models have been replaced with heavier women that are convincing as users of a diet aide.

Thank God he did because if he didnt fill the shoes of Batman, I dont know what I wouldve done. His weight loss wasnt part of a specific diet or elimination of certain foods. In fact, it was the elimination of almost all foods and a lot of exercise. His exercise did not involve any type of weight lifting. He only want to lose the fat and keep from bulking up at the same time. His goal for the movie was to look like as if he had not slept for a year. Im sure I can vouch for everyone whos seen the movie that he definitely achieved this goal.
