Childhood obesity is at an all-time high. With kids increasingly sedentary (MySpace, video games) and eating high-fat, high-carb diets, government programs such as We Can! (stands for Ways to Enhance Children’s Activity & Nutrition) are being expanded.
We Can! is a 2-year initiative that puts the majority of the responsibility on the shoulders of the parents. […]
MSNBC has a great article online right now about seven foods that may seem healthy, but actually are not. One in particular, granola bars, made me think: Do people really still consider granola as healthy?
I personally love granola, and would eat it all day if I could. But the fact is, it’s loaded with fat, […]
Sounds crazy, but I just read this article over at CBS News online. Apparently the incidence of obese - not overweight - women and men has not significantly increased since 1999-2000.
I’d hardly say the epidemic was over. When people refer to the “obesity epidemic,” they’re also referring to the percentage of the population that […]
So many people think that a diet is about simply reducing calories and eating less fat. They fail to consider a vital part of the equation - protein.
Lean protein really is a nutritional superstar. It fills you up so you eat less, and stimulates your body to burn more calories and fat than it would […]
You may remember in a previous post I mentioned I’d heard from a friend who stocks drinks at Pilot that Dr. Pepper was coming out with a new flavor - Diet Chocolate Cherry. All I could find online was that it was coming out in January, but apparently that was false - because according to […]
In a Cornell study of 310 college students (ScienceDaily), some confusing (although perhaps understandable) results emerged.
Males were mixed, with some wanting to lose weight and some wanting to gain weight. However, almost all the women wanted to lose weight. Those who were normal weight generally wanted to be thinner, as well as half of underweight […]
The experts just can’t make up their minds, can they? It used to be that just red wine was good for you (in moderation of course) and considered heart-healthy. Beer and liquor were not associated with any health benefits.
Now it seems that alcohol of any form - whether it be liquor, wine, or beer - […]
This week I’ve lost 2 pounds. Not spectactular, but it’s nice to finally be having some success. I added back one grain a day this week. I also just added fruits yesterday, so we’ll see what effect that has.
Thanksgiving was a relative success, although I probably ate too much. I had a few bites […]
A review of research showed that prescription diet pills result in minimal weight loss (7-11 pounds). That includes the prescription form of Alli, Xenical, so if you’re taking Alli you can expect to lose half as much.
Doctors argued that the small amount of weight loss could be enough to see changes in health markers […]
Back In Skinny Jeans had a great video post recently about the reasons we gain weight over the holidays (an average of 8 pounds). I won’t spoil it for you, but she mentioned lack of exercising as well as stress.
Did you know that stress can make you gain weight without actually eating more? A stressed […]
