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 […]
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. […]
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 […]

It’s no lie that here in the South we like our fried chicken and […]
I went into GNC today in my local mall to have a look around - sometimes I see or read about a supplement I want to buy, so it never hurts to look. However, what caught my eye were the shelves and shelves of one diet pill after another (they even had boxes of Alli).
