      Keeping Quiet About Your Weight Loss Goals is the Secret to Success

      November 17, 2011 /

      Losing weight is as easy as zipping your lips!

      Just telling others about your plans creates a sense of accomplishment that could derail your ultimate goal of losing weight.

      Keeping your plans to diet to yourself also eliminates the conflict with those who might not want to see you succeed.

      The advice seems counterintuitive. Weight Watchers and similar groups tout support as a major reason for their programs’ success, and studies have found that accountability is important in accomplishing a goal. But telling family, friends and Facebook about your diet plans could have a detrimental effect, some experts say.

      For Practical Purposes; Pizza a Vegetable?

      November 17, 2011 /

      Congress declare pizza a vegetable.

      When it comes to school lunches, that is.

      The rules, proposed last January, would have cut the amount of potatoes served and would have changed the way schools received credit for serving vegetables by continuing to count tomato paste on a slice of pizza only if more than a quarter-cup of it was used. The rules would have also halved the amount of sodium in school meals over the next 10 years.

      But late Monday, lawmakers drafting a House and Senate compromise for the agriculture spending bill blocked the department from using money to carry out any of the proposed rules.

      American children don’t have a fighting chance against diabetes and childhood obesity when over 40% of their daily calorie intake comes from school lunch.

      How risky is it to medicate your children with cold medicine?

      When children fall ill the first thing we want to do is make them feel better.

      But is medicating them with over-the-counter remedies the answer?

      Over-the-counter cough and cold medicines don’t effectively treat the underlying cause of a child’s cold, and won’t cure a child’s cold or make it go away any sooner. These medications also have potentially serious side effects, including rapid heart rate and convulsions. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) discourages use of cough and cold medicines for children younger than age 2.

      Antibiotic use is another issue.

      An Effective Drug for Effortless Weight loss?

      November 10, 2011 /

      A weight loss pill which generates results in without any effort is a dream come true, for many.

      Although the trials have been successful in monkeys it still needs to be tested on humans.
      The researchers, headed by the husband and wife team Wadih Arap and Renata Pasqualini, have been working on the project for years. In 2004 the research team proved the drug could bring substantial weight loss in mice. Now, after the highly successful results in monkeys, they have applied for FDA approval to begin trials in people, possibly within a year.

      The “couch potato” weight loss pill could be on the way.
