2008-09-07 Bariatric Surgery in Adolescents - Health - redOrbit

Treatment of obesity among adolescents poses a challenge to health care professionals and is often unsuccessful. Though behavior modification, diet, and exercise are the keys, only 1 in 5 obese children succeed in achieving the desired weight loss. 4 The consideration of comorbidities causes a dilemma for physicians who must decide on the most appropriate treatment strategy for morbid obesity among adolescents. 6 One approach has been the prescription of weight loss drugs. Sibutramine and Orlistat are medications that have been used to try to help obese adolescents lose weight, but these drugs often result in only modest weight loss and can have significant side effects. Possible side effects of Sibutramine, an appetite suppressant, include headache, constipation, heartburn, back pain, flu-like symptoms, and painful menstrual periods.

2008-09-25 Taubes: Is Weight Loss From Exercising Or Are You Exercising Because You Lost Weight

Taubes has hit on something here that I never thought about before. Is it the fact that I exercised which led to my weight loss or is it indeed the weight loss that forced me to start exercising to burn off the extra energy I can tell you from my own personal experience that perhaps it was a little of BOTH. I didn and rsquo;t do any exercise the first month of my weight loss when I shed 30 pounds on the Atkins diet in . But then I started walking on the treadmill in month two and did it religiously every single day for 20-30 minutes a day and lost another 40 pounds. I continued to walk, sweat, and and ldquo;burn calories and rdquo; for the rest of that year as I dropped the pounds.

2008-10-01 Bigger breakfast = bigger weight loss Blog by Monica Reinagel, L. D. N. , C. N. S. from

The modern American does eat a lot of the wrong foods. You made a reference to humans over the past two million years during evolution. Those humans couldnt go to the drive through. However, their lifestyle actually makes it harder for a modern person to lose weight. Because food was not always available to them, their bodies evolved a starvation mode which allows the body to slow the metobolic rate and conserve energy and store excess fat whenever possible. This was a survival technique that is still with us today. This is why some nutritionists believe in the "Set Theory" WHich is the uncanny fact that our bodies pick a weight while we our young and work against dieting to stay at that weight. Now, it can be overcome, and I am not saying it is necessary to count calories, but it does help to keep a closer eye on what you are

2008-09-05 Weight loss plans appear to work

The study was set up to examine the nutrient intake of the four diets, including carbohydrate, fat and protein intake, as well as vitamins and minerals. It found that all the diets caused weight loss while continuing to give adequate nutrition. However, it did not conclude that one diet was better, and found there to be no significant difference in weight loss between the diets. The main conclusion of the study is that although the diets are all nutritionally adequate, people with specific imbalances in the body, such as low iron or folate levels, would benefit from personalised dietary guidance. This seems sensible advice at the current time.

2008-09-12 Green Tea and Weight Loss - Is it Right For You

Even though all the studies prove quite positive, if you drink seven cups of green tea to wash down 14 doughnuts, its not going to improve your chances of losing weight. Green tea and weight loss only occurs if the diet is not adjusted upward. It is a great aid for those that embark on a calorie-restricted diet. The tea creates a sensation of fullness when consumed before meals, much as a tall glass of water does. If your tea is not sweetened with additional calories from sugar or honey, just the act of filling your stomach helps you to maintain a calorie restricted diet and therefore is an aid to the loss of weight.

2008-09-11 5 ways to cut on flab - Health Lifestyle MSN India

The best way to keep weight off is to make small dietary changes, such as avoiding but not totally giving up fried foods and desserts, that often contain more calories than the rest of the meal without the nutrition. Replace desserts with plenty of vegetables, fruits, and legumes; eat small, single servings of foods high in fat or calories; choose low-fat or double-toned milk products and reduced fat cheeses; ration edible oils and have a mix of them; choose roasting or steam foods as a cooking option; avoid sugary drinks, including sweetened fruit juices; and avoid alcohol. People end up drinking a lot of calories, so it is important to keep track of what you are drinking too, says Khosla.

Barry and three other lawyers in the suit argue that many of the supplements sold by Wellnx contain little or none of the ingredients that were represented to promote rapid weight loss. The plaintiffs say they took random samples of "Slimquick," "NV," and "Liquid Hoodia" from various stores around the country to an independent testing lab and found that some samples contained none of the purported weight-loss ingredients claimed and that other samples had just trace quantities, too low to have any effect on weight loss.

2008-09-27 TV Recap: The Office - Weight Loss

Dwight replaces all of the snacks in the vending machine with fruit, which eventually gets rotten, moldy and covered in fruit flies. I think the first genuine laugh-out-loud moment for me in this episode was seeing Dwight hammer a peach into one of the slots. Dwight goes on to leave Phyllis in the bad part of town with no money or cell phone so shes forced to walk five miles back to the office. And when he and Michael come upon a secret cheese cake party held for Stanleys birthday in a secluded corner of the warehouse, Dwight stomps on the cake. Interestingly enough, while Dwight was all about enforcing the diet, he showed no indication of actually trying to lose weight himself.
