2007-07-25 Interleukin Genetics Initiates Program To Develop Genetic Test To Guide More Effective Weight Control In Obese Patients

Obesity is basically an excessive storage of triglycerides in fat (adipose) tissue. Although the biological mechanisms involved in storage and release of triglycerides in adipose tissue are poorly understood, a family of proteins, including the perilipin protein, regulate triglyceride release under certain conditions. If the perilipin protein is eliminated in mice, i. e. the "knockout model," the mice have altered fat metabolism, a lean body type, and are resistant to weight gain even in the presence of over-feeding a high-fat diet. Hundreds of genes have been associated with various metabolic pathways that influence body weight, but very few genes have been shown to alter weight loss when people go on specific diets. Genetic studies of diabetes, hyper- triglycerides, and obesity have identified a suspected risk factor for each of

Traditional diets which use calorie restriction to produce weight loss are no longer appropriate. Most weight-loss programs measure success solely in terms of the number of pounds lost per weight loss attempt. Diets dont take into account the quality of the process used to achieve that weight loss or the very small likelihood of sustained weight loss. For long-term good health, you need to move away from low-calorie diets and focus on enjoyable physical activity and good nutrition. Exercising regularly and eating lean-supporting calories, protein and carbohydrates, and reducing fat-supporting calories will not only help you look and feel better, it will also significantly reduce your risk of disease. America spends billions of dollars on different ways to fix people. If we focused more on prevention and on improving our day-to-day

2007-07-27 GLENN ELLIS STRATEGIES FOR WELL BEING: The Liver and Weight Loss

Many middle-aged people with excess fat in the abdominal area have a "fatty liver". In this condition the liver has stopped burning fat and has turned into a fat storing organ. It becomes enlarged and swollen with greasy deposits of fatty tissue. Those with a fatty liver will not be able to lose weight unless they first improve liver function, with a liver cleansing diet. If you have a fatty liver it is vital to be patient, as it can take between 3 to 12 months, depending upon the amount of fat deposited in the liver, to remove the excess fat from the liver. After this accumulated liver fat has been removed, weight loss will occur easily. If you have a very severe case of fatty liver it can take several years to lose all of the excessive weight. However, this is very successful in the long term and provides the best chance of

2007-07-12 Leslie Goldman: Minding Our Waists. Or Wasting Our Time - Living Now on The Huffington Post

For those looking for a quick weight loss fix, more and more options exist -- some medical, others surgical, some downright unheard of. In May, researchers at Californias Salk Institute created a so-called "exercise pill," a drug that purportedly tricks the body into thinking its working out. Kind of like hallucinogens, but instead of pretty colors, your body sees treadmills. The pill works (in mice, a least) by activating a gene that instructs cells to start burning fat. It jumpstarts the metabolism, just like exercise. Mice put on a high-fat diet who received the formula did not gain weight. Scientists involved with the calorie-burning capsule have been quoted as saying they hoped the "metabolic trickery" would pave the way for fresh treatments for obesity, high blood pressure, even heart disease and diabetes.

2007-07-18 The Epoch Times More Evidence Favors Low-Carb Diets

Bearing all this in mind, it should come as no surprise that low-carb diets can be effective for those seeking to lose weight. But how do such diets compare with the more conventional low-fat approach endorsed by many doctors and dieticians To date, six trials (included the one discussed above) have pitted low-carbohydrate against higher-carb/lower-fat regimes over the medium to long term. All six of these studies found that weight loss after six months was significantly greater in the low-carbohydrate group than in the low-fat group. Three of these studies lasted for a year, at which point there was no significant difference in results. However, in one of these studies the individuals failed to restrict carbohydrate intake to the extent advised, and in the other dietary compliance was not checked at all. Because of these

While some doubt the benefits of controlling carbohydrate intake, the fact of the matter is that there is now abundant scientific evidence that this approach is generally effective for the purposes of weight loss, while at the same time helping to improve biochemical markers of chronic disease, such as blood sugar levels and levels of blood fats, such as triglycerides.

2007-07-27 Diet and Weight Loss Weight Down Diet: Faith Based Weight Loss Program

Weigh Down has always been based on the principal that diets have CAUSED or exacerbated overeating in this country. It has given people false hopes, and then failed them - making most people feel like failures. What is beautiful about Weigh Down is that it teaches people to depend on and to turn back to their Creator for help. We all need hope, and we all need help. Another source of help has been encouraging people to turn to the Word of God and to Godly fellowship. There is a growing army of permanently thin people who are helping others to let go of the magnetic pull of food. Weigh Down is a ministry and scholarships many people, and we pray that we are making a real impact on the plague of overweight/obesity in this country. Some of the latest positive statistics have been on children through the youth oriented program called

2007-07-16 The Mprize-The Mprize-

Because the people who read my blog are in large part very nice as well, and I dont want them to pull a Julian Dibbell and eat way too few calories with the resulting too fast weight loss and becoming convinced that long term CR is impossible, I get rather touchy about impossibly low calorie number reports. I wrote a rather curt letter to Grazia after they misquoted me saying that I eat 1000 calories a day. Sure, I eat 1000 *some* days. but that is balanced off by days when I eat much more. If I ate 1000 calories a day, I would rapidly cease to exist, and that would cause great inconvenience to my cats. Since I can not bear the thought of inconveniencing a cat, I try to eat in a way that is responsible to my health. That means eating enough, while trying to eat no more than just enough, and getting the right nutrition. And

2007-07-09 News from origin - Increased Water Consumption with Hoodia Diet

Any effective diet plan includes dedication and motivation, including the Hoodia diet. In addition to maintaining motivation, as well as dieting dedication, adding to your daily water consumption can also assist in helping you to reach your weight loss goals. The following paragraphs will discuss how Hoodia Gordonii products, being used in conjunction with increasing your daily water intake, can assist you in achieving healthy weight loss. As with any healthy diet, the Hoodia diet should never totally exclude any of your regular three daily meals. Since Hoodia diet pills successfully act as a natural appetite suppressant when they are made from 100 pct. pure Hoodia Gordonii plant, it can be easy to skip meals. Most generally, if we are not hungry, we do not think about eating. For a Hoodia diet to be successful, it is important to

2007-03-01 Dieters should avoid fad diets that promise rapid weight loss

Other liquid diets require elimination of all foods except for juices or broths. I have seen companies push their own brand of liquid that is to be used as the sole source of nutrition (such as the three-day Hollywood Diet), but I have also heard of homemade concoctions consisting of water, lemon juice and cayenne pepper. These diets dont provide vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, protein or fat. Weight loss is achieved from self-induced starvation. If done for long periods it causes dizziness, fatigue and a decrease in your metabolic rate.

2007-07-14 Dr. Siegals Cookie Diet Announces Grand Opening of First Dedicated Retail Store at Moorestown Mall in New Jersey

Dr. Siegal began practicing medicine in Miami in 1957. By 1960 he was limiting his practice exclusively to the treatment of overweight patients. He created the Cookie Diet weight loss system in 1975 because he observed that hunger kept too many of his patients from adhering to a reduced-calorie diet. After extensive testing in his own kitchen, Dr. Siegal developed a secret blend of food proteins called amino acids that provides significant hunger suppression without drugs. He used his formula to create the first Cookie Diet food--an oatmeal raisin cookie--and the product was an instant success. He later developed additional cookie flavors as well as diet shakes and diet soup with the same hunger-controlling properties.
