Kirstie Alley’s 100 lb weight loss was the result of her own weight loss program.
By dancing daily after her appearance on “Dancing with the Stars,” where she finished second, changing to an organic diet and following Organic Liaison, her own weight-loss program, she’s turned her life around.
Gimmicks and packaged, processed foods simply does not work.
Whole organic foods and a healthy active lifestyle is the best way to take off the weight and keep it off.
Keeping a food diary is one of the best ways to ensure weight loss success.
Everyone underestimates how much they eat and keeping a diary keeps you accountable and aware.
The American Academy of Family Physicians offers these tips on what to record in your food diary:
Exactly what foods you ate — don’t forget to include any condiments, sauces or other extras.
The amount of food that you ate, in either size or volume.
What time of day that you ate, and where you were when you ate.
What you were doing when you ate, and how you felt when you were eating.
Whether you were alone or with someone else.
A recent study of mice found that when they were in social groups they were able to convert energy-storing white fat, to energy-burning brown fat.
Fat can come in two types: energy-storing white fat, and energy-burning brown fat.
While we all have white fat tissue, the brown fat needed for weight loss is difficult to make. It is mostly found in babies, or in adults who have been exposed to extreme cold, where it is burned to keep them warm.
But the US team, led by Professor Matthew During, have found that relatively small changes in the physical and social living environment of mice can alter vast amounts of white fat to brown.
We are all getting the message about foods that we shouldn’t eat but what exactly should we be eating?
The FDA is trying to simplify the answer to that question by illustrating food labels making them easier to read and follow.
Calorie counts are popping up on menus of chain restaurants across the country and the longstanding food pyramid was toppled this year by the U.S. government in favor of a plate that gives a picture of what a healthy daily diet looks like.
The struggle to redesign the labels on every box, can and carton has been in the works since 2003, and some of the changes could be proposed as soon as this year. FDA Deputy Commissioner Michael Taylor cautions not to expect a grand overhaul, but the revamped label does mark a shift to create a more useful nutritional snapshot of foods millions of Americans consume every day.
If you think that being overweight effects only the obese then think again.
Obesity is fast replacing tobacco as the single most important preventable cause of chronic non-communicable diseases, and will add an extra 7.8 million cases of diabetes, 6.8 million cases of heart disease and stroke, and 539,000 cases of cancer in the United States by 2030.
Some 32 percent of men and 35 percent of women are now obese in the United States, according to a research team led by Claire Wang at the Mailman School of Public Health in Columbia University in New York. They published their findings in a special series of four papers on obesity in The Lancet.
