Truth about dieting
Researchers in Sweden have demonstrated that a diet high in saturated fats, cholesterol and sugars (characteristic of fast food) could cause similar brain changes to those seen in patients with Alzheimer's disease....
Calorie counting. Just reading those two words probably made your face wrinkle up a bit with discontent. Who the heck has time in their day to calculate how many calories are in each meal they consume, let alone their total caloric intake for a day, week, month, etc.? Besides, calories aren't the real problem anyway, right? Um...not exactly....
Research from the University of Queensland shows that ads featuring average-sized models are every bit as effective at selling as those with thin models. Also "women who saw the size 14 models felt significantly better about their own bodies in comparison to those who saw the thinner models."...
Learning how to "outsmart your metabolism" and "conquer the diet plateau" seems to be a run-of-the-mill promise amongst diet books. It implies a "switch" or a "mode" whereby your body transforms into a machine that burns fat, rather than one which stores it. When you open such books, though, you find an abundance of opinions that vary in their...
It seems like a cruel irony. The majority of those who suffer from low self-esteem are the ones who stand to benefit the most from exercise. Self-esteem (self-efficacy) appears to be make-or-break factor when it comes to exercise adherence. In fact, a recent study showed self-efficacy alone boosted exercise adherence by 139% over the course of a year. Let's take...
Exaggerated claims are par for the course when it comes to exercise machines or systems of any kind. You are most likely already aware that no ab machine will remove body hair and give you a tan. Jim wrote a great synopsis of other things ab machines WON'T do for you. But are there any good abdominal machines or gadgets...
A new study has found that the link between weight and Alzheimer's disease is different for men and women. (Alzheimer's disease is a progressive and fatal brain disorder, and the leading cause of dementia. Most people who develop Alzheimer's are over 65.) ...
The New York Times has published a multi-media feature about fitness gear for kids. This includes mini, colorful versions of "grown up" equipment like treadmills, exercise bikes and cross-trainers. ...
Burger KingThe Burger King, Ronald McDonald and the Taco Bell dog. Their commercials make us laugh, tell a friend, search for them on YouTube, but most importantly, buy what they're selling. But a new study shows fast food advertising has played a big role in the tripling of childhood obesity, between 1970 and 1999, and a ban on fast food...
When we talk about a "diet", we often mean a weight-loss regime. Many people who are perfectly happy with their weight are on "diets", though, which aren't intended to limit total food intake but to exclude certain types of food. ...
An estimated one in three adults living in the U.S. are overweight or obese. How did this come to be? It's probably due to the cumulative effect of many factors (eg. poor diet, inactivity, lack of sleep, stress), rather than one, isolated problem. So which states are helping or hurting our efforts to reduce the girth of our nation?...
As a growing number of states adopt the practice of making fast-food restaurants list calories on their menus, Congress continues in its struggle to implement this obesity-combating tactic nationwide, reports Reuters Health. ...
The New York Times reported that obese children, and those with high cholesterol, have symptoms that are early warning signs of heart disease. ...
Flickr: webgirlpipThe fall can be a real bummer. Days get shorter and the weather gets colder. If it wasn't for football, I'd go mental! Now if you're jonesing for the fruits of summer. Remember, autumn ushers in a bounty of delicious fall vegetables. ...
