2008-06-04 Theres one thing you should never tell overweight teens

Socialism Eating themselves to death WHAT And believe me, Im a political guy, but cripes. The point of the story is ultimately that because dieting typically doesnt work for most people trying to lose weight (and it doesnt), telling your teenager who is trying to lose weight to diet might not work out for them either (surprise surprise. ). On top of that, when has scolding, demanding, criticizing or even encouraging a hormonal, self-conscious and naturally rebellious teenager resulted in anything good The inherent teenage response is probably going to be negative. Are you surprised Im not. If you were a self-conscious kid going through puberty and already self-conscious about everything in addition to your weight, and the only help your parents (of all people) could give was "go on a diet," wouldnt you respond

2008-06-04 The skinny on weight loss supplements

Despite the NIH weight loss guidelines that recommend calorie cutting, increased physical activity and behavior therapy, many people are attracted to the ease and convenience (and purported effectiveness) of a miracle weight loss pill, typically supplements found in health food stores, the supplement aisles at supermarkets, multilevel marketing scams, and products heavily advertised on the Internet.

2008-06-22 DNA - Health Line - Should you detox - Daily News and Analysis

Lack of medical research and studies to show whether our bodies really benefit from a detox diet, says Dr Alpana Shukla, consultant endocrinologist at Bombay Hospital, is reason enough to rubbish all tall claims.

Detox diets are sold under the pretext of strengthening your system from pollution, stress and the processed food and alcohol. But the real reason why people turn to them is for instant weight-loss. As for actual detoxification, healthy kidneys, liver, lungs and skin do an excellent job of it anyway. If you eat healthy, you will never need this drastic quick-fix. In most cases, adds Dr Shukla, the lost weight is regained in no time - and worse, with added kilos.
