Atkins Responds to Recent New England Journal of Medicine Weight-Loss Diets Study Results

DENVER /PRNewswire/ -- A recent New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) study titled "Comparison of Weight-Loss Diets with Different Compositions of Fat, Protein, and Carbohydrates" , concluded that reduced-calorie diets result in clinically meaningful weight loss regardless of which macronutrients (fat, protein and carbohydrates) they emphasize.

2009-03-27 Seven steps to help kids slim down Booster Shots Los Angeles Times

The plan presumes that the entire family is involved with the process -- previous studies have shown that better results come from a collaborative effort, not from telling one kid he has to eat chicken breasts and broccoli while the rest of the family gobbles pizza. As children segue into adolescence, he added, they can do more on their own. For behavioral therapy, the plan suggests starting with groups such as Weight Watchers or Take Off Pounds Sensibly that offer support, education and accountability and allow parents and children to work together. "These are very low-cost alternatives where people can come in every week," he said, "but they have to be willing to work. " If those dont provide suitable results, parents can opt for more intense group sessions run by trained weight-loss professionals.

This book took me 15 years to write. Not really 15 years of writing more like a decade and a half of evolution. The 5-Factor evolution started when I was a husky teenager (husky is simply a kinder way of saying overweight). I bought every diet book, fitness magazine, and exotic weight loss pill, powder, and bar. I tried weight training, step aerobics classes, Pilates, and yoga. I experimented with diets such as Pritikin, Body For Life, and the Zone. I became interested in exercise and nutrition as a way to make me look and feel better. However, it wasnt until both of my younger brothers were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes that I became interested in the science of food and how it affects our bodies. I spent eight years in university studying metabolism, biochemistry, nutrition, and physiology. I call this period

This could be because weight loss lowers insulin levels, which potentially leads to less memory-damaging insulin inflammation in the brain. This doesnt mean that everyone should start dieting like crazy to squeeze into size zero jeans. While high body mass indices do lead to poorer results in so-called Mini-Mental State Examination (which, while not diagnostic, is the most commonly used instrument for screening cognitive function and involves a ten-minute test involving recall, orientation, attention and calculation), so too has being under weight. Perhaps not surprisingly then, a happy medium, with your weight falling within a healthy body mass index, is probably the best place to be when trying to hang on to your grey matter.

2009-03-26 Cleansing diets lure celebs, but not health experts

Joy Bauer, a registered dietitian in New York City, says: "People are always doing them, and its disheartening because they are sophisticated, smart people who know better, but they are so desperate for a quick fix. You dont experience long-term success on them. You may be less bloated. You may feel lighter. You may be losing some weight, but much of it is water weight. "

These kinds of diets are not a reasonable approach to weight loss, and there is no data that they do what they claim," says Gary Foster, director of the Center for Obesity Research and Education at Temple University in Philadelphia. He is concerned that the cleanses could be harmful to people who suffer the medical consequences of obesity, such as high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease.

2009-03-10 Natural Medicine: The skinny on diet diaries

Above all, be honest with yourself so you can determine your normal eating patterns. Once you have kept your diet diary for a few days, you can see what changes you need to make -- perhaps get a tall latte instead of a grande. Or, make a commitment to never skip lunch if that tends to lead to unhealthy snacking from the vending machine in the afternoon. Making small changes based on your diet diary can pay off in a big way with consistent, healthy weight loss.
