2008-10-24 Understanding why Obesity Control has Failed: New Approach, New Hope For the Future, Thanks to Dr Bens New Weight Management Concept.

Dr Bens Sustainable Weight loss programme is a comprehensive interactive programme based on a true understanding of the organizational structure and function of the human body with particular reference to the way the human body was designed. There are set regulations on how the human body regulates its weight. Without a deep understanding on how the body works and applying these principles accordingly, no matter the effort at achieving weight loss, meaningful results cannot be obtained. Unfortunately weight control is in the hands of so called experts who dont really understand the physiology and advising weight loss regimes with strange dietary manipulations which can never work except temporarily.

2008-10-24 Diet Detective: Part 2 - Post-Pregnancy Nutrition and Weight Loss KVAL CBS 13 - News, Weather and Sports - Eugene, OR - Eugene, Oregon Health

According to Somer the key here is doing it gradually. and ldquo;Prior to pregnancy the weight-loss goal could be as high as 2 pounds a week. After pregnancy, your weight loss goal should be only 2 pounds per month (for most women who have gained the recommended 25 pounds during pregnancy and who were at their desirable weight prior to pregnancy) and no more than 1 pound a week for overweight nursing mothers who use a combination of diet and exercise to shed pounds (by exercising, the woman doesnt need to cut calories as severely, so loses weight without jeopardizing her health. ). Whatever your weight goal, add 5+ pounds for the extra tissue your body retains while breastfeeding. So, if you ultimately want to lose 20 pounds, aim for no more than 15 pounds for now. The final 5 pounds usually drop off when you stop nursing. and rdquo;

While the Atkins Diet helped me achieve my goal of weight loss, it also made me conscious of a few other things that were not obvious before. Most people just trying to lose weight forget about health. This diet showed me that just because I was slimming down, I wasnt necessarily doing anything to help my overall health. In fact, after I had been off the diet for a while, I found out that diets high in saturated fat could lead to a higher risk of heart disease and some cancers. I thought to myself, "Whats the point of looking good if I feel extremely unhealthy inside" I also found out that meat consumption wasnt the reason I lost weight, but that low carbohydrate intake was the reason. This meant that the meat wasnt what was helping me lose weight.

2008-11-01 Gluten-Free Diet: A Cure for Some, a Fad for Most - US News and World Report

For example, and that dropping it from ones diet can lead to weight loss. An evidence review conducted by the Cochrane Collaboration and published in 2008 found that only two reliable studies have examined gluten and autism, and they involved a mere 35 participants in total. One study found the gluten-free diet had no impact on symptoms of autism, while the other detected a degree of improvement in communication and some decline in social isolation among people on the diet. However, the Cochrane researchers conclude more rigorous research is needed before clinicians can recommend the diet as a treatment.

2008-10-07 Orexigen(R) Therapeutics Reviews Significant Data Regarding Its Obesity Product Candidates - MarketWatch

Contrave is an investigational weight loss medication with a mechanism of action that works at two sites within the central nervous system. The first is a hypothalamic site that controls the balance of food intake and metabolism. We believe that Contrave is possibly the first treatment for obesity to address a second site, the reward system in the brain that controls food preference and food cravings. In clinical trials, Contrave has initiated and sustained significant weight loss over one year of treatment (approximately pct. in patients completing 48 weeks of therapy) by reducing appetite, increasing metabolism and allowing the body to continue losing weight by offsetting its natural tendency to fight back and slow down the weight loss process. We expect to receive data from the first of our Contrave Phase 3

2008-10-31 Minneapolis Fitness Examiner: Japanese banana diet: my modified version for guaranteed weight loss

Story, the theory behind the banana diet is that bananas "contain vitamins and minerals, but are low in calories and hellip;and you dont need utensils to eat them". Hmmmm and hellip;Im not sure how utensil-free dining promotes weight loss but it certainly adds a new twist to the traditional theory of weight loss which suggests that you must burn more calories than you consume. But how can so many Japanese be wrong

Had not lost weight. If you havent heard about it, this is the diet that is clearing Japanese store shelves of bananas and creating a frenzy even here in the United States. According to the plan, you eat one banana and a glass of warm water in the morning, eat with relatively few restrictions throughout the day, finish eating by 8 and get to bed by midnight. Within a week, the pounds fall off, as evidenced by the many anecdotes posted on the Japanese website that is promoting the diet.

2008-10-28 Fight Obesity With New Antibody That Degrades Appetite Stimulant

During periods of weight loss, the body produces high levels of ghrelin to encourage eating. Human studies have shown that ghrelin levels rise before meals and fall afterwards, findings that are consistent with the hormones role in hunger and eating initiation. Indeed, circulating ghrelin levels are increased by food deprivation and decreased by eating, glucose load, insulin, and somatostatin, an important neural signaling hormone. Recent studies suggest mice deficient for ghrelin or its receptor store less of their consumed food and are resistant to diet-induced obesity. Also, small-molecule ghrelin receptor antagonists have been shown to reduce food intake, promote selective weight loss in the form of body fat, and improve glucose tolerance by augmenting glucose-induced insulin secretion.

Scientists have discovered a catalytic antibody that degrades a known appetite stimulant. The antibody works against the gastric hormone ghrelin, which has been linked to weight gain and fat storage through its metabolic actions. - Diet and Weight Loss; Obesity; Fitness; Mice; Molecular Biology; Food
