2008-05-08 14 WFIE, The Tri-States News Leader: Diet Myths Debunked: Putting the Wall Street Diet to Work for You.

Im so glad to have a chance to answer this question. If I had a dime for everyone who tells me that they cant diet because they cant exercise. My response: Dont. Exercise, that is. If no time to exercise is keeping you from dieting then you should cross exercise off your to-do list for now. It does take time to exercise; it doesnt take time to eat well. In my experience roughly 80 percent of weight loss is the result of food intake not calories spent in exercise.

But for busy people, adding exercise can become a stress in itself and a barrier to weight loss because its an excuse not to eat well. If youre already exercising, great; continue. But if you cant find time to exercise now,

2008-05-21 American Chronicle Some Quick Weight Loss Tips

The first thing that you need to do is to make your mind ever that you will be eating this way until your weight loss is achieved. Along the way, you will learn enough about the type of carbohydrates that you are eating and eating a balanced diet that you can maintain your weight loss throughout your life. Its actually fairly simple. Eat a portion of lean meat, a legume such as black beans or lentils and a vegetable with every meal. You can choose from chicken, pork or beef, it really doesnt matter. Just eat a portion of each of these three things, four or five meals a day and you can lose up to 20 pounds in a month.

2008-05-18 Do or diet Navigating the nutrition nightmare

No, its not. When losing weight the right way, you need a proper diet and exercise. And if you dont get results from this, you might go to an expert for medical help, but even if that is the case, you must continue your diet and exercise.

2008-05-11 Why extreme diets dont work - Times Online

But is it safe for Robert and other pre-summer dieters to shed weight quickly with near-starvation rations, especially if we pile it all back on again rapidly in that classic yo-yo pattern Andrew Prentice, Professor of International Nutrition at the London School of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene and an expert on obesity, says that from a metabolic point of view it is not a problem: and ldquo;While it is true that when we diet our metabolic rate (the rate at which we burn energy) goes down, it simply drops to a level which is appropriate to our new weight. If you were to put the lost weight back on again, it would bounce back up. human metabolism is designed to yo-yo. and rdquo; That said, some and ldquo;starvation rations and rdquo; are nutritionally better for you than others.

2008-05-18 When body matter matters

Patients with weight loss due to illness will find it difficult to gain weight. In some of these conditions the body spends more energy than it obtains by food. For example in an overactive thyroid gland, or in cancer, the body utilises energy at a faster rate. In diabetes, the body loses glucose with the urine. Also in some of these conditions, especially cancer, long standing disease, heart failure etc, the poor appetite results in the body not getting enough calories.
