To be honest. Dieting is lame! I don’t care who you are and where you’re from. You can’t honestly tell me that dieting is the best thing ever. We diet not because we wholeheartedly want to. It’s because we either want something or it’s a necessity. The perfect scenario would be if it was possible to lose weight and be healthy while eating loads of junk food. Wouldn’t that be sweet. Sadly that is just not the reality we live in. So we diet our way to a leaner body and work our asses off in the gym. Well that’s what I do… sort of. It’s been working though. I feel great and I can see signs of a six-pack forming on my abdomen area, so what I’m doing must be working. You must ...

Many of us do: in fact, over 60% of Americans are overweight (and other developed nations are catching up fast). You’d think that all the diet pills, diet foods, diet books and diet plans would help. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to be doing much good. I’ve got a long history with dieting: I was overweight as a teen, and I still have to pay close attention to my weight to stop it creeping back up. (I blame a combination of genetics, a mild medical condition, and a fondness for chocolate…) Over the years, though, I’ve learnt about a few tricks that really help.

Last year, I did something crazy and unlike me. I participated in a comedy show called Penn & Teller’s Bullshit on Showtime. For someone as introverted as I am, it was one of the most scariest and embarrassing things I ever did. It’s not something I am especially excited to share. But I’m doing so for a reason. The subject of the show was affirmations. It questioned whether there was anything really beneficial to it or just another laughable practice best turned into a parody on Saturday Night Live.

The author interviews proponents of low-carb, moderate-carb, and vegan/high-carb diets for people with diabetes. The bottom line? The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends that you personalize your diet to meet your needs.

However, this is a big mistake. It's obvious nuts are high in calories, but studies show that those who eat nuts regularly tend to have a lower BMI in comparison to those who don't. In a study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 81 healthy adults were told to supplement their diet with almonds every day (320 calories worth); no further instructions about food intake were given.

When The Biggest Loser first started airing on our TV screens, I must admit I thought it could be a great way to inspire millions of viewers to get up off the couch and finally lose some weight.

In fact, I am now seeing 100-pound two year olds and 150-pound three-year-old kids in my clinic and I am concerned. The obesity epidemic is perpetuated by a processed food-culture that lacks healthier local whole foods.    Diets dominated by processed foods (refined carbohydrates with high fat- and/or high-sugar content and artificial ingredients) over whole foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains) spur more obesity and diabetes, and have even been shown to negatively change gene expression of the offspring during pregnancy.

Now he has written a shorter, more accessible book Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It to take his message to a wider audience. His basic thesis is that: - The calories-in/calories-out model is wrong. - Carbohydrates are the cause of obesity and are also important causes of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and most of the so-called diseases of civilization. - A low-fat diet is not healthy. - A low-carb diet is essential both for weight loss and for health. - Dieters can satisfy their hunger pangs and eat as much as they want and still lose weight as long as they restrict carbohydrates.

Breakfast improves their overall nutrition and their performance in school, among other things. But how helpful can breakfast really be if it consists of cereal deluged in sugar? “Not very” is the answer. Thankfully, a new study by Jennifer Harris and colleagues at Yale suggests that kids are perfectly willing to consume low-sugar cereals instead, particularly if they can add a pinch of table sugar or fresh fruit to the mix. To evaluate kids’ willingness to eat low-sugar cereals, Harris’ team randomized 91 kids between the ages of five and 12 to two groups. Kids in the first group were offered low-sugar cereals like Cheerios, Corn Flakes, and Rice Krispies, which contain one to four grams of sugar per servin...

And, it's excellent advice. In fact, I'd go as far as saying if you want to be successful in losing weight in 2011, you'd be better off ditching those weighing scales, and replacing them with a food diary... the pen is in fact mightier than the scale, when it comes to losing weight.

The word congruent describes someone who is the same on the outside as they are on the inside,” writes psychotherapist Angela Caughlin in her book, Journaling Through: Unleashing the Power of the Authentic Self: Seven Benefits of Unlocking the Wisdom Within. But, as so many of us know, being congruent is far from easy. It means not caring what others think about you. If you’re a chronic people-pleaser (Hi, my name is Margarita), this might as well be like walking a tightrope. (Yes, it’s that dramatic.) It also means knowing who you are. Sometimes, the simple question of “what do I like” is hard to answer, especially if we’ve spent years deferring to someone else and looking for validation from others.

What’s the difference between a public health expert and an incompetent doctor? A. An incompetent doctor tends to kill only one person at a time. The deep recession and jobless “recovery” which we have enjoyed in the U.S. for going on three years now was triggered by the bursting of the housing bubble. The housing bubble was created by lending practices that awarded “subprime” mortgages to people with bad credit ratings, and offered to people with good credit ratings adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) that enticed them to purchase more expensive homes than they could afford. Traditionally, banks were always reluctant to award mortgages, of any flavor, to people who obviously could not afford them, since doing so would wreck their businesses. The reason the banks began making bad...

Why so many? Well it’s still summer and I’m soaking every bit of it while I can. One that’s been taking much of my attention is The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook by Edmund J. Bourne, Ph.D. While the title isn’t very sexy, the read is very illuminating. Why? It talks about the comprehensive (what I’ll call) diet plan for someone suffering from anxiety and phobia. One of the topics it covers is negative self-talk. The kind that often exacerbates anxiety and is also described as one of five mind traps in this week’s top post. It also talks about the importance of exercise, meditation and even nutrition. All things that can help ease your anxiety so that yo...

It’s the part of me that often gets buried underneath daily worries, fears and your garden variety neuroticism. While tending to issues are important, so is taking a break from them. Based on the outpouring of responses I got concerning outdoor activities on Facebook, it seems like I might not be the only one. Isn’t it nice basking in the ray of hope and possibility instead of fear and uncertainty every once in awhile? That’s what I spent my time doing in a rustic cottage in the country.

Zooey Deschanel, queen of the indie screen and, lately, indie airwaves (She & Him), has given up on her vegan/vegetarian diet. Apparently, Deschanel found out that she couldn’t eat soy or wheat, and made the decision to incorporate meat and dairy back into her diet. We can’t exactly blame her. If we didn’t eat soy, dairy, meat or wheat, we’re not sure exactly what we’d eat besides straight up fruits and vegetables.

The last one is highest in iron, but I don't know if it's the variety I get at the store.  Please help. A. Great question!  You see such a difference in iron content because only one of these three vegetables is truly spinach!  Malabar and New Zealand "spinach" are botanically unrelated plants thrive in places (or seasons) that are too hot for true spinach to grow well.

In practice, though, it may be tricky to come up with a balanced meal plan. Why not use our analysis tools? Enter in a sample day's intake using our recipe analyzer and see how it stacks up.  Here's my attempt at a balanced meal plan using only fatty fish, fruits, and vegetables--plus a tablespoon of olive oil.  As you can see, it's an awful lot of fish--so I made sure to choose fish that are low in mercury.

Several commenters objected to my suggestion of oatmeal on the grounds that oats--although they do not contain gluten--may be contaminated by gluten-containing grains in processing. Ultimately, I think we all agreed that oats are safe as long as they are are certified gluten-free. And seeking out those gluten-free oats appears to be worth the effort. A study out of Finland found that including oats can improve the nutritional status of gluten-free diets, particularly in terms of magnesium, zinc, and thiamine. Bob's Red Mill is a widely available brand of oats and other cereals and baking mixes that are certified gluten free. (Source: The ND Blog: Notes from the Nutritionista by Mon...

My daughter can't eat foods that contain gluten. Dairy products also don't seem to agree with her but soy milk is OK. Our problem is what to give her for breakfast ? Can you suggest any cereals (preferably low GI) that are gluten free that are good for breakfast? A. Oats do not contain gluten, so oatmeal might be a good choice.  Be aware, however, that oats and oat-based cereals are almost always processed in plants that also handle grains containing gluten.  Depending on the level of your daughter's gluten sensitivity, you may have to find oat products that are processed on separate equipment, to minimize the chances of cross-contamination.  Bob's Red Mill is one brand of certified gluten-free oat cereals.Once you find a good source of gluten-free prod...

I made up the term "The Diet Divide" to refer to the divide or gap between seniors who are "diet literate" and health conscious and those who continue to eat a diet that can have fatal consequences. One group is for those who feel one of life's dearest rewards is eating MacDonald Cheeseburgers, plus other high fat, high carb, or high sugar foods, often in giant servings. The other is the health conscious group, who is over at Subway eating Veggie Delites and turkey sandwiches.

But despite new research, we still don’t know which way the relationship goes — does diet cause depression, or do people with a certain lifestyle or with depression eat poor diets? They split the participants into two types of diet - those who ate a diet largely based on whole foods, which includes lots of fruit, vegetables and fish, and those who ate a mainly processed food diet, such as sweetened desserts, fried food, processed meat, refined grains and high-fat dairy products.

That's an extraordinary finding. And lest we think that this is simply due to an uptick in awareness and diagnosis, the researchers disproved this with a very interesting approach.  They tested stored blood samples taken from American soldiers in the 1950s. Only one in every 700 samples contained the antibody that signals celiac disease. Today, about one in 170 people test positive for the antibody. Celiac is caused by an intolerance to gluten, a protein found in wheat and other cereal grains.  When challenged with gluten, the body's immune system attacks the cells lining the small intestine causing digestive chaos and nutrient malabsorption. It's treated...

It’s the mainstay of the modern Western diet. It’s in almost everything you eat, from pasta to bread, cookies, cakes, pizza, flour tortillas, etc, etc, etc. But wheat is also one of the major problems of modern Western diet. This book Healthier Without Wheat, explains why. Written by Dr. Stephen Wagner,  a nationally recognized expert in the field of gluten intolerance, it provides not only the history of wheat consumption but also the reasons why, for millions of people, it is the root of all their digestive problems. Gluten intolerance is one of the most overlooked and frequently unrecognized of today’s medical conditions, partly because most doctors themselves don’t have a clear understanding of what it is and how to recognize it. With Healthier Without Wheat, Dr Wa...

Sodium nitrite is commonly used to preserve and color food such as hot dogs and bacon. It is also a common ingredient in fertilizers that are used to grow vegetables. Granted, the scientists involved in the study have not found a concrete link yet but it’s enough of a link to get Suzanne de la Monte, the lead author of the study, to avoid nitrites herself. Avoiding nitrites isn‘t such a bad idea. After all, they are already known to cause cancer. But this latest study is also suggesting that even low doses of exposure to these chemicals can have serious effects on the brain. So if you wer...

Using subjects at Warren Warren Air Force Base (AFB) in Wyoming between 1948 and 1954, the Mayo Clinic study tested blood samples for the antibody that people with celiac disease produce in reaction to gluten. They then compared those results with two sets more recently collected samples from Olmsted County, Minnesota. The results indicated that today’s young adults are 4.5 times more likely to be suffering from celiac disease than those in the 1950s. People with celiac disease have a immune reaction to the gluten, a protein that is in wheat, barley and rye. Anytime they ingest gluten, they can develop acute symptoms such as diarrhea...

Apparently, it show that when it comes to weight, there is no shrinkage. Some state may be holding steady but the major seem to be growing. For the report,  400,000 American adults provided information about their height and weight which was used to calculate their body mass index (BMI). Weighing up all the information, the CDC has determined that ‘the proportion of U.S. adults who are obese increased to 26.1 percent in 2008 compared to 25.6 percent in 2007.’ According to the CDC press release  “In six states – Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia – adult obesity prevalence was 30 percent or more.

But in the end, it’s not just food (ie calories) that will make you fat. As this theDailyGreen shows, research done of the subject is also pointing the finger at a number of other variables that can also play havoc on your weight. 1. Stress - it’s a vicious circle. Stress can lead to weight gain. Weight gain can lead to stress. 2. Lack of Sleep - we live in a 24/7 world but being on the go around the clock and not getting enough restful sleep will, for reasons not yet determined, add numbers to the weight. 3. Baby Formula - seems that those who are, or were, breastfeed are less likely to become overweight. Again, for reason unknown, although it’s possibly due to the relationship of hormones in breast milk and ...

That’s the word from a number of studies that have been looking into the risk of grilling meats on the BBQ. The latest study suggests that adding beneficial antioxidants such as rosemary extracts or Thai spices to the meat can significantly reduce the risk of ingesting heterocyclic amines (HCAs). Last year, scientists at the University of Porto in Portugal examined the effects of beer and red wine marinades on grilled steak and discovered that simply marinating in beer or red wine for six hours reduced the levels of two types of HA by up to 90 per cent compared with unmarinated steak. Mix all or some of these ingredients together and you’ll end up with healthy and hopefully tasty marinade recipe. O...

I'm attempting to maintain a 40-40-20 macronutrient balance with the assistance of your website's tools.  As a vegan athlete, I eat more vegetables and grains than an omnivore, and it is nearly impossible to achieve the 40-40-20 balance without cutting down on either vegetables or carbs, which I believe would not be healthy for me. Is there a way for the caloric ratio pyramid tool to take into account the difference between vegetable carbs and cereal/grain carbs? A. Not really--but I'm not sure how that would help.  The Caloric Ratio Pyramid shows you how your calories are divided between carbohydrates, protein, and fat but doesn't distinguish between different sources of these macronutrients.  So, your carbohydrate percentage will include t...

But in the past few years, there has been a lot of concern about the health issues relating to barbequing meats. In particular,  health concerns revolve around the potential exposure carcinogenic compounds such as Hetrocyclic amines (HCAs) that increase as meat is charred on the grill and Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAAs) that are created when fat and meat juices drip onto the coals and stones. Back in 2005,  HCAs, which has been shown to cause tumors in animals and possibly increase the risk of breast, colon, stomach, pancreatic, and prostate cancer in humans, was added to The National Institute of Health’s hit list of cancer causing agents. But that doesn’t mean you should stop BBQing. It just means you need to grill safer. Here’s how...

The idea is that by saturating the sensory system you won’t be as hungry. It’s an interesting idea but I’m not sure how it would work.  To me, the smell of food always stimulates my taste buds. For example,  everytime I smell toast I suddenly get hungry and want to eat some.  (image source) Post from: Healthbolt (Source: Healthbolt) Healthbolt blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2510382 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 04:22:07 +0100 2510382 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2510383&cid=t_99586_87_f&fid=34872&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blisstree.com%2Fhealthbolt%2Fbe-fit-this-summer%2F Image from FitnessMagazine.com Aiming to be fit this summer?

The American based start-up was created last year by two Yale professors who wanted to help people achieve their goals and objectives by enabling them to form Commitment Contracts. Dieters in the UK have been joining up and betting on their ability to lose a specified amount of weight in a specified time frame. If  you don’t succeed,  you lose money.

At first glance, this would suggest that a gluten-free diet might have unintended consequences on intestinal health and immunity. Reading further, however, I ended up with more questions than answers. First, the study only involved ten people--a very small group. The study was also done on healthy volunteers. People with celiac disease might (indeed, probably) would experience different results because their guts are very different from healthy guts. I also think it somewhat likely that going off gluten could cause a temporary decrease in beneficial bacteria. As your system adjusts, I wouldn't be surprised if the gut flora rebounded. But this is stil...

It’s a word that frequently conjours up feelings of frustration, impatience, disappointment, sadness, and even failure. Which is probably why Christine Lakatos describes her book My Diva Diet as ‘A Woman’s Last Diet Book’. It’s a turn of phrase that’s guaranteed to attract those who are looking for an answer to all their dieting woes. And it’s very likely it might just do just that. A 413 page workbook, resource, and motivational guide, My Diva Diet got my attention from the get go with it’s innovative characters. There’s Ms Diva who highlights all useful tips and her sidekick Paws, who summarizes the how-to information. Superheroes and Diet Villains also make an appearance to emphasize who the true d...

The gluten free market is expected to grow by $1 billion over the next three years - from $1.6 to $2.6 billion by 2012). Now, this is a welcome change for anyone with celiac’s or a gluten allergy, sensitivity, or intolerance. It certainly gives them more choices and makes it easier to manage their disease. Trust me, any person with celiac’s will testify you don’t want an “episode”. Two million people have celiac’s - about 1 in 133 - so it is considered common. More people are being diagnosed with the disease. I don’t question if there is a need for more products. I’m just raising the question with all these new products coming to market catching consumers’ att...

Something that could help you not only lose the pounds but improve your general health and wellbeing. Then head for the nearest lemon tree. That’s what Theresa Cheung, author of The Lemon Juice Diet, recommends. Having done detailed and extensive research, she believes that lemons and lemon juice is is all you need to kickstart a new healthier and slimmer you. Lemons have natural detoxifying powers which stimulates the digestive system in a healthy and effective way. And a healthy digestive system is very important if you have any hope at all of losing weight. So I thought I’d jump on in and give it a go. The first step turned out to be the hardest.

Written by Jenna Bergen, a freelance writer and yoga addict, it reads more like a click lit novel than a diet. But diet book it is and a very useful one at that for anyone who is suddenly discovering that the guy that you’re falling is causing you to let your diet and healthy eating habits fall by the wayside. It’s pretty much a given that once in a relationship, many women will pick up their partner’s unhealthy eating habits, resulting in weight gain. It sure doesn’t seem fair, but it’s true. And the main reason behind this is simply that men eat different from women and often have little understanding on basic nutritional needs. They eat when they are hungry and as we women k...

I’ll be reviewing a different book everyday this week, starting tomorrow with entertaining and informative ‘Your Big Fat Boyfriend’ (How to Stay Thin When Dating a Dieting Disaster) by Jenna Bergen.

Of course, the less you cut back the less you’ll lose. And the less you exercise the less you’ll lose. So while I don’t recommend doing anything drastic, I also don’t recommend doing nothing or next to nothing. Drastic measures are impossible to maintain. Doing nothing is hard to live with. Take the middle way: eat a little less and exercise a little more. Keep it up and very gradually increase your efforts. There’s an old adage of “no pain, no gain.” In a way this is true in that some effort is required, but if the pain is too great you’ll stop in a few weeks and there will surely be no gain. Take the middle way instead. Start small. Eat a little less and exercise a little more. And get a lot of support. I wish you the best of luck. (Source: Dr. Z's M...

A successful diet is for life - not just for January, or for a couple of starvation-level weeks before a big day. Following a very strict, unrealistic or highly restrictive plan just sets you up for failure. Continue reading...
