A good weight-loss program has three legged components, namely : diet, aerobic exercise, and weight-lifting, according to sports health expert Tina Aboitiz Juan. Most people are familiar with dieting and aerobics but few consider weight-lifting as a weight-loss tool because they think it is only for body builders. Here's what lifting weights can do that dieting and aerobics cannot.
* Weight-lifting raises metabolic rate
Your "basal metabolic rate" is the rate at which you burn calories at rest during a 24-hour period. According to Tina Juan, the only practical way to increase your metabolic rate would be to increase your skeletal muscle mass. This is achieved by lifting weights.

The amount of food you eat or the amount of exercise time you do is important if you are trying to lose weight. Research shows that keeping records of what you eat and how often you exercise has been proven effective.
Using the power of the pen and consistently writing down the pound gained or lost has the following benefits :
* Food awareness
Writing down what you eat makes you aware of what you are eating and what you are not eating. Nutritionists are prescribing a minimum of five servings of fruits and vegetables. Keeping records makes you aware if you are eating the ideal, which is seven to ten servings a day or the other way, that you are not eating even the minimum daily. It can also help you clean up your daily diet of all the extras that you don't need.
* Food and mood
Research shows people turned to food binge when they are sad, mad, glad or scared. If you want to find out if you are using food as an emotional crutch, write down what you are feeling when you eat. Keep tract of your moods and know whether you are eating for physical or emotional reasons.

The No-Diet Approach To Weight Control

What is the best diet for losing weight? None, according to Greg Phillips and Gail Johnston, authors of "Redefining Success With Healthy Eating." They say the only sure way to permanent weight loss is to make exercise and sensible eating habits parts of your life.
According to Phillips and Johnston, you can lose weight without dieting by understanding the following eight beliefs :
* There is no such thing as being on or off a diet.
Being on a diet implies that one day you're on diet, the next day you're back to square one. Even "good " diets are a temporary measure. The authors say it is better to adopt a way of life with healthier habits that work for you rather than impose a very restrictive diet on yourself that can be unhealthy.
* There is no right or wrong way to eat.
Phillips and Johnston say healthy eating is all about moderation and balance. A lifetime eating plan includes all the foods you normally eat that produces a secure and comfortable feeling that food is not your enemy.

As explosive as her new album "Touch My Body," Mariah Carey was also triumphant in her weight loss regimen from a size 8 to a size 2. It is reported that Carey shed 20 pounds over eight months. She is now sporting a new slim body shown on her youthful teenage body on the cover of her new album.
Mariah Carey, the 38-year-old five-time Grammy winner and who has just gotten married to her soul mate Nick Cannon, credits her transformation to her 1,000 to 1,500 calories-per-day regimen. Mariah was quoted as saying in an interview : " I used to wake up and say, 'What do I want to eat?' But now, rather than just order any old thing that tastes good, I will sit down and say, 'What works for me that is going to keep me at the size that I am going to feel better about myself?"
Mariah Carey is serious about her workouts, Patricia Gay was quoted , her personal trainer for the past eight years. Carey would invite friends, hit the pool with her and do aqua aerobics. Patricia gave an outline of Mariah's water workout. For a 20-minute warmup, they aqua jog, do dolphin kicks and breastrokes. Then the singer would do 30 minutes of full body exercises in the water, pushing the water with her arms and legs, and doing mermaid moves for her abs and lower body.

PPH, or Primary Pulmonary Hypertension, is a rare but debilitating lung disorder that is potentially life-threatening and has been linked to prior consumption of diet drugs such as Fen-phen and others now banned and no longer on the market. However, it can take upwards of 10 years for the symptoms of PPH, now known as Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) to emerge.
You could be sick, and never know it. So what's it like to have PPH?
Just ask Monica Sanchez. She's 28 now, and a successful entrepreneur, running her own shop called Village Sweets in Whittier that was recently featured on 'Peter Perfect' on the Style Network. Life, some might say, is 'sweet' for Sanchez these days. However, in reality the last dozen years of her life have been anything but.

I have replaced some of these empty calorie snacks with an alternative snack that is both healthy and low in calories.

Obesity is a condition where large amount of excess fat is accumulated in the body. It can be hereditary, due to an existing medical condition, but majority is usually due to too much food intake coupled with sedentary living.
Obese people especially if excess fat is around the belly, are at a greater risk of contracting certain diseases. According to Eduardo G. Gonzalez, M.D., obesity is known to contribute to the development of Diabetes Mellitus. It is also associated with hypertension (high blood pressure) and high levels of cholesterol which predispose to heart disease. It increases the workload and the chances of failure of the heart.
Among fat people, the incidence of gallbladder stones is also higher, Dr. Gonzalez wrote. Obese women have a higher than average incidence of menstrual disorders, infertility and complicated pregnancies. In overweight men, the occurrence of impotence and sterility is higher than average.
Some forms of cancer are also strongly associated with obesity. The risk of developing cancer of the breast, uterus, cervix, ovary and gallbladder is higher than normal among obese one. In fat men, the risk of developing cancer of the colon, rectum, prostate, pancreas, and stomach is increased.

An extra hour of sleep at night might be the key to lose weight and battle obesity, according to latest research.
"More sleep could be the ideal way of stabilizing weight or slimming," said Karine Spiegel, a neuro-scientist from France Inserm, a public organization dedicated to biological, medical and public health research. Two key hormones, Grehlin and leptin, produced at night which help regulate appetite were at play, Spiegel said. Grehlin makes people hungry, slows metabolism and decreases the body's ability to burn body fat. Leptin, a protein hormone produced by fatty tissue, regulates fat storage.

Is Marriage Making You Fat ?

A study from the University of Minnesota confirms what many married people know from experience - marriage can make you fat.
There are many reasons married couples gain weight. Researcher Robert Jeffrey said that the weight gain was partly due to a shared environment of too much calorie-rich food and not enough exercise. But the basic reason is most of the married couples no longer have as much motivation to keep their weight under control because they are no longer in the market looking for a partmer.
Looking attractive is not the only reason why married couple should try to stay fit. Your kids deserve healthy parents who will be around to watch them grow into adulthood. Gaining weight is usually the result of unhealthy lifestyle habits, like not getting regular exercise and eating food high in fat and sugar, which in turn increases your risks of getting heart disease, diabetes and hypertention.

PPH: When Losing Weight Can Kill
Posted on Feb 22, 2008 at 08:20 AM by therandywriter
If you found yourself in the middle of any February prior to 1997 and packing a few extra pounds, you might have been one of the millions of Americans turning to Fen Phen, the magic diet pill that was all the rage until it was revealed that Fen Phen was a suspected link to PPH, an often fatal lung disease. Today, you may be turning to a PPH Class Action lawsuit.
You would have been forgiven for embracing Fen Phen, especially given its exalted status at the time. Fen Phen was actually the combination of fenfluramine (Pondimin) and phentermine, and was hailed as an answer to anyone with any kind of weight problem, no matter how severe.
And in the middle of February, in any given year, weight loss for millions of Americans is top-of-mind. First, February follows January, which follows the excesses of the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. If you had a weight problem going in, that problem is exacerbated after so many helpings of turkey and plumb pudding.

The old proverb "Eat breakfast like a King, lunch like a Prince, and dinner like a Pauper," is an old folk's wisdom vindicated by modern research as the easiest yet powerfully effective way for every man and woman who has ever fought a continous battle with overweight.
Food researchers discovered that by altering your mealtimes you can lose weight without feeling hungry. There are, of course, biological reasons why this easy strategy of meal reversal is so effective. The food that we eat is digested and absorbed at different rates depending on the time of the meal. Food eaten at breakfast and lunch turned into energy. Food eaten at night is more likely to be turned into fat. Why?

Dieting only to have the weight come back, bringing along a few more pounds to keep it company, can be quite stressful. For many people dieting has become too stressful. This may be why there are so many people who are using acupuncture to handle their long term weight issues. Acupuncture involving standard practices, including hair thin needles being inserted into the body in selected areas, is used to help enhance proper functioning of the body.
A release of endorphins by the body is stimulated by acupuncture. These endorphins are used by the body to relieve pain and for appetite control, thereby giving the patient increased willpower. For those who are obese, the cause of obesity may have to be evaluated through a questionnaire administrated by the acupuncturist. Both behavioral patterns and psychological reasons can be the cause of weight problems.

You can enjoy eating holiday treats without accumulating unwanted calories or enjoying the treatswithout having to feel deprived during the holiday season.
The tips I am about to share with you are from health professionals who share their ideas on how to say no to all the yummy stuff during parties or holiday treats :
* Write down what you eat.
It is possible to lose weight during the holiday season by committing yourself to keep a food diary where you write down everything you eat and monitor your intake. Seeing what you ate in black and white helps to keep you from going overboard.
* Never go to a party hungry.
Eat something filling but low in calories before the party. Fruits also help control the appetite. One can make a wiser choice at the buffet table if you don't have a hungry stomach.
* Eat only the food that you really like. If you cannot resist to taste everything, your best defense will be to eat small portions.

It has been thought for some time now that aerobic exercises are good weight loss exercises that are helpful to the body. On the contrary, aerobic exercises are not a good weight loss exercise because they do very little to tone your body. The exercises that help tone the body while helping with weight loss are resistance exercises including weight training; this is what actually tones your body and muscles.
Both of these exercises, aerobic and resistance, are great for reducing fat and increasing muscle mass. Research shows an increase of more than 55% weight loss by combining the two types of exercising within your weight loss exercise plan.

Although I had heard a lot of information about low carb weight loss, I was still quite skeptical, to say the least. Atkins weight loss simply sounded too good to be true. I had a friend who was on the Atkins meal plan, and although I didn't get to see him frequently since he lived across country, he claimed that the results were stunning and spectacular. Through the Atkins diet plan, he said, he had lost 10 pounds in just over a week. It was hard for me to believe that that was true. Furthermore, it was hard for me to believe that it was healthy. The Atkins meal plan involves eating nothing but high protein food, and small helpings of non-starchy vegetables. There is no way that this is good for the body!

Juice fasting is a method usually adopted to give your body a rest from too much activity in digesting foods and to allow it to remove waste and toxins that have been accumulating in your body.
