2008-02-12 American Chronicle The Golden Rule of Weight Loss

There are many diets and weight loss products that claim you will be able to lose anything from 20-40 pounds in a month. People see these claims and common sense just flies out of the window. This happens because the products appeal to your emotional senses and when that happens, logic becomes irrelevant. Now on the face of it many of these claims will sound wonderful to you, but unfortunately your body will not share this joy. Any sudden and drastic changes to your lifestyle will lead your body to fight you every step of the way. This is why after a short initial period of weight loss, any results you may have been getting will slow down to a crawl or more than likely stop completely. This is such a common story amongst people who try to lose weight.

2008-02-06 Dan Nieds Fortress of Weight Loss: Day 41

That and rsquo;s a gift, right That and rsquo;s something to stand up and be proud of. I want to look back on all this as a happy time, when things started to come together in life. But I don and rsquo;t want weight loss to be the only thing that happened. I want to look back at early 2008 and see that this is where I started to really become a man. True, I am 28 years old, and becoming a man should have happened already. But it hasn and rsquo;t. I am stunted, I am resistant. I am living paycheck to paycheck, and quarter tank of gas to quarter tank of gas. I know people who live that way. I have cousins and uncles who have been doing it all of their lives. The only thing they and rsquo;ve ever shown me is that it is no way to live.

2008-02-29 American Chronicle Benefits of Cabbage Soup

The Cabbage soup diet is a radical weight loss diet designed around heavy consumption of low-calorie safiyaa soup over the space of seven days. It is generally considered a fad diet, in that it is designed for short-term weight-loss and requires no long-term commitment. Indeed, it was arguably the first short-term diet to become popular and inspired several copycats based around similar principles. The typical claimed intent of the diet is to lose 10 pounds (4. 5 kg) of weight in a week, though nutritional experts point out that it is impossible to lose that much fat within a week.

2008-02-19 Why carbs are the new diet craze - Health

Although this may be the first youve heard of resistant starch, its likely been a part of your diet most of your life. Resistant starch is a type of dietary fiber naturally found in many carbohydrate-rich foods such as potatoes, grains and beans, particularly when these foods are cooled. It gets its name because it resists digestion in the body, and though this is true of many types of fiber, what makes resistant starch so special is the powerful impact it has on weight loss and overall health. As a dieters tool it cant be beat: Not only does it increase your bodys ability to burn fat, but it also fills you up and reduces overall hunger. Its health benefits are truly impressive as well. Studies show it improves blood sugar control, boosts immunity, and may even reduce your cancer risk.

2008-02-11 The Atkins Diet

The medical community continues to debate the potential damaging effects of long-term, high-protein diets on kidney function, cholesterol levels, and possible increased risk of heart disease, osteoporosis and cancer. The Atkins diet restricts carbohydrates and limits the amounts of fruits, vegetables, milk and other high-fiber foods. These foods naturally provide essential vitamin and minerals to maintain health. Atkins diet followers may have difficulty maintaining this diet long term. The problem is taste. The only way to really satisfy taste without carbohydrate is by increasing fat. And this is another concern with the Atkins plan. Weight loss occurs predominately through a process called ketosis, and a majority of it (at least initially) is fluid loss. There have been no long-term randomized studies to support the safety of

When asked about the Master Cleanse, most students were divided about its effectiveness as a diet. Diana Kang, a second-year international studies major, said she would try the Cleanse for weight loss. I would only do the detox diet if I wanted to get skinny for an event. Heather Harden, a second-year biological sciences major, would not do the Cleanse at all, because basically you would just be losing water weight and you wouldnt be taking the weight off in a natural way, so it would not be beneficial to your health. As for its detoxifying abilities, Harden said, I think theres other beneficial ways to detox, like taking antioxidants.

2008-02-27 Lifestyle:FITNESS Q and A: Theres no quick fix to help you lose weight

A. You are doing the right thing by getting more active and resolving to get yourself to a healthy weight. It is also wise to be suspicious of the latest diet best-seller and advertisements that promise "quick, rapid weight loss with no dieting. " Any article or advertisement that makes weight loss sound easy will slim your wallet, not your waistline.

An RD is also skilled at teaching how the weight-loss process works and what to expect along the way. In preparation for a visit to an RD, take a week to do something the dietitian will ask you to do anyhow - keep a food diary for at least one week. Purchase a food scale and pick up a book that lists the calories of natural as well as commercial foods. Write down EVERYTHING you would normally eat every day and log a daily total. When you present this to your dietitian, he or she will have most of the necessary information to devise a plan that works with you and for you.

Vivuss Qnexa also seeks to create a synergistic effect by combining the generic diet drug phentermine with topiramate, a drug approved for epilepsy and for migraine prevention. Phentermine decreases appetite and increase energy usage, while topiramate increases feelings of fullness. Separately, the two drugs have only mild weight loss effects, but together they produce "true synergy" due to the fact that they target different areas in the brain, said Vivus Director of Clinical Development Barbara Troupin.
