Another week on the South Beach diet, but no pounds lost…
I have a net loss of 0 pounds for the week. I actually lost a pound early on, but was dehydrated and by rehydrating I put it back on. I’m trying to stay hydrated to prevent that from happening again.
Exercise-wise, I’ve been slacking. I only […]
MSNBC has an interesting article online right now about 9 strategies to lose weight that were tested on a sample of people, and how much on average was lost. One of the tips that caught my eye was to stop drinking all soda, including diet.
Now, we all know sugary sodas are bad for you. They’re […]
I just saw a documentary on BBC America called “Super Skinny Me: The Race To Size Zero,” the first show in a series about body image. In the documentary, two healthy female journalists (BMI’s around 22 and 21 respectively) go on crash diets made popular by celebrities to lose as much weight as possible in […]
Well, it is my 4th week on the South Beach diet and I think it’s going really well. Aside from weight loss, I noticed that my cravings are much more manageable now that I’m not restricting “all” carbs. Also, if I do happen to eat something off plan, my weight doesn’t spike up like it […]
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 […]
