Weight Loss Diet: Healthy Eating, Losing Fat and Calories
Losing weight: Diet is the practice of eating in a regulated fashion to achieve a long-term objective. The most common objective is loss of excess body fat. Weight-loss diets restrict the intake of specific foods to reduce body weight. What works to reduce body weight for one person will not necessarily work for another, due to metabolic differences and lifestyle factors. There are lot of quick weight loss products available, but not all of them are efficient. The studies have shown that the best ways to lose weight are keeping a food diary or having a weight loss surgery.

2-9 liters of cola per day leads to muscle weakness foodconsumer.org :: 2009-07-03
The results of a study published in the International Journal of Clinical Practice add another health risk from cola beverages to an ever growing list: hypokalemia. It's a condition resulting from dropping potassium levels. It produces a negative reaction in the muscles: symptoms range from mild muscle weakness to paralysis. The link between the condition and cola intake is so direct that just dropping the cola beverages and giving the patient either oral or IV potassium leads to full recovery. Dr. Moses Elisaf's team reviewed cases of muscle weakness that were directly related to drinking of 2-9 liters of cola per day.
Emotional eating examiner.com :: 2009-05-04
WebMd defines emotional overating as "the practice of consuming large quanites of food - usually comfort or junk foods - in response to feelings instead of hunger". Emotional eating is one way to cope with stress and difficult issues. Not a good way - And it's one of the biggest reasons why people overeat. Nutritionist Andrea Wenger Hess explains: "Food never solves the problem, and usually it just contributes to a cycle of guilt, low self-esteem and overeating. Get to the root of the problem. Food is meant for physical nourishment, not for emotional comfort, reward or punishment."
Survey reveals: Many not aware of alcohol calories bbc.co.uk :: 2009-05-04
40% did not know a glass of wine has the same calories (120) as a slice of cake. The survey of 2,000 persons in UK was carried out as part of the government's drive to control people's drinking habits. The campaign also stresses that a heavy drinking session is usually followed by an unhealthy breakfast. A regular beer drinker, who drinks 5 pints a week or 250 over the course of a year, packs away the same number of calories as someone eating 221 doughnuts. While the average wine drinker consumed 2,000 calories each month - Over the course of a year, that is the equivalent of eating 38 roast beef dinners.
Research: White tea may fight obesity telegraph.co.uk :: 2009-05-04
A rarefied white tea used by the Chinese since the days of the Ming Dynasty could play a key role in fighting obesity, new research has revealed. Naturally occurring chemicals in white tea (made by plucking the youngest buds of the tea plant) are capable of breaking down fat cells and preventing new ones from forming. White tea has previously been linked to stronger bones, lowering blood pressure and decreasing the risk of some cancers. The new research, published in the journal Nutrition and Metabolism, claims that anti-fat properties can be added to that list.
Study: Body clock controls metabolism by regulating energy levels in cells sciencedaily.com :: 2009-03-26
UC Irvine researchers have discovered that circadian rhythms (internal body clock) regulate energy levels in cells. The findings have huge implications, from greater insights into the bond between the body's day-night patterns and metabolism to creating new ways to treat obesity and a host of related diseases. "Our circadian rhythms and metabolism are closely partnered to ensure that cells function properly and remain healthy," explained Sassone-Corsi. The findings help to explain why lack of rest or break of usual sleep patterns can increase hunger, resulting obesity-related illnesses and faster aging.

Study of diets shows what truly counts: calories latimes.com :: 2009-03-12
Researchers compared several strategies - low-carb, high-protein and more - and none came out the winner. They concluded the best diet is a healthful one that cuts calories, consistently. Two decades after the debate began on which diet is best for weight loss, a conclusion is starting to come into focus. And the winner is: not low-carb, not low-fat, not high protein but ... any diet that is low in calories and saturated fats and high in whole grains, fruits and vegetables - and that an individual can follow with for a lifetime - is a good choice for people who want to lose weight.
