Is Cutting Carbs The Key To Fat Loss?

A new study seems to put an end to the low-carb vs. low-fat debate. Or does it? Read the details and decide for yourself!

Savvy nutrition and fitness enthusiasts know there's more than one way to do things. They've seen firsthand that a variety of diets—not just one—can improve health and weight loss, particularly when it comes to overweight fitness novices. But in the media and culture at large, an answer this reasonable has never sufficed. Low-carb and low-fat proponents have waged an epic battle over the past few decades, with each camp eager to use new studies as a knockout blow for the other.

The latest salvo is a yearlong study of obese patients conducted at Tulane University.¹ Media coverage

The low-carb group also happened to improve a variety of predictors of heart disease.

announced the study almost unanimously as a victory for low-carb diets, touting the extra weight loss that a "low-carb group" (those sarcasm quotes will make sense soon enough) experienced when compared to a low-fat group. Pundits even tied the results to the newly low-carb—and much thinner—LeBron James.
The low-carb group also happened to improve a variety of predictors of heart disease. This seems at first glance like a big deal, since a common knock on low-carb, high-fat diets has been their potential impact on heart health.
Nail in the coffin; time to bust out the bacon-wrapped butter sticks, right? Not so fast. Let's look behind the headlines and see what really went down.

WHAT DID THE RESEARCHERS DO?

The trial specifically studied obese people in Louisiana. The researchers noticed that previous low-carb trials often included low proportions of black people, so they made this trial more representative, with over half the subjects being black.
However, the researchers enrolled no Asians and very few Latin-Americans, and the study was composed of almost 90 percent women.
With those demographic details aside, here's how the two groups lined up:

Low-carb group

Told to eat fewer than 40 g of carbs per day for one year.
Instructed not to change activity levels.
Given meal replacement and dietary counseling.

Low-fat group

Told to cut dietary fat intake to lower than 30% of daily calories for one year.
Instructed not to change activity levels.
Given meal replacement and dietary counseling.

The researchers aimed for a low number of carbs—40 g per day, or about two slices of bread—to avoid a common problem with previous studies that claimed to be studying low-carb levels. Most recommended around 100 g of carbs per day, which, while technically "low-carb," is still more than the amount consumed by many low-carb diehards.
When you take an obese subject who has eaten a standard American diet over the course of 40-60 years and tell them to drastically change their habits, the results can be unpredictable.

To help combat this, each group was also subject to two co-interventions along with their recommended macronutrient intake:

Meal replacement: Participants were given a meal replacement bar or shake every day. These meal replacements were either low-carb or low-fat, depending on their prescribed diet.

Counseling: Participants met up in small group counseling sessions, along with a dietician, in order to learn about dietary guidelines and receive support.

With these two safeguards in place, there was no way anyone could screw it up, right? Not quite. Sure, completion was 80 percent, a very high rate for a diet study. On the other hand, calories were not directly controlled, and adherence was self-reported.
For instance, the subjects reported an average intake of 2,000 calories per day before either diet. This seems implausible, and emphasizes how inaccurate self-reporting can be.
So we must take all the stats with a grain of salt.

THINGS DIDN'T GO AS PLANNED

Regardless of what the researchers intended, the study ended up comparing a diet that was just barely low-carb and a diet that could barely be classified as low-fat.
The low-carb group, while instructed to consume under 40 g of carbs, never managed to get anywhere near that low of a number. To their credit, they did make big changes for the first three months, slashing their carb intakes from about 240 g per day to under 100 g. But that trend didn't continue, with average carb intake rising back up a bit to just under 130 g per day after 12 months.
So if the low-carb group succeeded in halving their carb intake, did they compensate by increasing their other macronutrients? Sort of. They ended up eating about the same absolute amount of fat as they did before, but upped their protein intake over the course of the year, from 18 percent of calories to 25 percent—significantly more protein than the low-fat group ate.

All other things being equal, cutting some fat doesn't improve heart disease predictors as much as cutting some carbs.

The low-fat group's diet, on the other hand, didn't end up being all that different in proportional fat content from the standard American diet. Their fat intake at the start was 35 percent of total calories, and it went down to 30 percent. But since the low-fat group cut their overall caloric intake by about 500 calories per day by the end of the study, their overall fat intake went down by about 30 g per day. That's about the equivalent of two fatty burger patties per day, which is quite a bit—especially in caloric terms.
So what did the low-fat group replace all that fat with? You guessed it: more carbs, of course! They still ended up cutting total calories to about the same level as the low-carb group, but their carb intake went through the roof—upwards of 50 percent of total calories.
So did these subjects blow up like balloons over the course of the study? Far from it. They still ended up in a better place than where they began, although certainly not to the same degree as the low-carb group.
Here's how the two groups stacked up results-wise when it came to body composition:

Low-Carb Group

Average pounds lost: 11.7 lbs
Fat mass lost: 1.2%
Lean mass gained: 1.3%

Low-Fat Group

Average pounds lost: 3.9 lbs
Fat mass lost: 0.3%
Lean mass lost: 0.4%

The most publicized result from this trial was the greater weight loss the low-carb group experienced—although, to be sure, the results varied considerably among individuals. Low-carb eaters also experienced a decent uptick in lean mass as well, whereas the low-fat group actually lost a bit of lean mass.
Unfortunately, body composition was measured by a notoriously variable method called bioelectrical impedance, so again, take this with a grain of salt.
Although the paper doesn't get into mechanisms much, we can guess why the low-carb group did better with overall weight loss and lean mass gain. They ate a lot less carbohydrates, a bit more protein, and about the same amount of fat. That equates to fewer calories.
Add in the tendency of higher protein intakes to accelerate weight loss, and that suggests that the magic might not have been in the carb level alone.

LOW-CARB AND HEART HEALTH

Now we get to heart disease predictors. The low-carb group ended up with a higher HDL to total cholesterol ratio than the low-fat group, which is a strong predictor of avoiding heart disease. They also had lower triglycerides, in addition to a lower calculated heart disease risk score. Plus, their LDL dropped a bit more than in the low-fat group. To top it off, the low-carbers had a greater decrease in C-reactive protein, a measure of inflammation in the body.

Getting a good amount of protein can help weight loss, even in the absence of other significant dietary changes.

In short, many predictors of heart disease seem to have been improved by the low-carb diet, despite its high saturated fat content—twice the recommended American Heart Association guidelines. However, it should be noted that the low-carb subjects still consumed similar daily fat calories as before the trial. That extends to saturated fat as well.
So if you were hoping this study would grant permission to replace all of your carbs with bacon-wrapped butter sticks, sorry. The most important finding in this regard is more pedestrian: All other things being equal, cutting some fat doesn't improve heart disease predictors as much as cutting some carbs.

SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING

This trial is definitely a mixed bag, but that doesn't mean there's nothing of value to glean from it. Here are a few takeaways:

A variety of diets can lead to weight loss, and what matters most is consistently eating fewer calories. This was echoed by a meta-analysis that came out the same week, and by interviews with this study's lead author, Dr. Lydia Bazzano.¹
Although the groups did not attain drastically lower carb and fat levels, they both did manage to lose a decent amount of weight over the year by cutting calories.

Techniques that are designed specifically to help someone stick to a plan, such as meal-replacement bars or nutritional counseling, might not be enough to compel obese people to make dramatic lifestyle changes. However, these techniques can certainly help achieve better overall final results.

Getting a good amount of protein can help weight loss, even in the absence of other significant dietary changes.

Slightly lowering your carb intake is a viable option for losing weight that won't ruin your heart. In fact, it may be helpful.

Tying those last two together, the study seems to indicate that directing people to decrease carb intake might indirectly cause them to increase dietary protein intake.
Less carbs and more protein is a solid recipe for fat-loss, although, how much each macronutrient played into the results in this particular study is by no means clear.

And finally, making dramatic dietary changes is hard! Directing people entrenched in the standard American diet to consume fewer than 40 g of carbs takes amazing discipline out in the real world.
Many people won't achieve that level of carb reduction, let alone sustain it. Their carb intake may go down, but it will likely remain over 100 g per day.

The battle between the dogmatic camps is by no means over. Because of the variety of dietary components and flaws in this study, we can't use it as a trump card in favor of any particular macronutrient.
Consider it one more point in favor of "Fat is OK," not an arrow in the heart—so to speak—of the almighty carb.

Vitamins for Weight Loss

Vitamin Pills

The war on your weight is long and perilous, and if you are to make it all the way to the end you will literally need every single advantage you can get. First and foremost, if you are hoping to lose weight then you should definitely invest either some time into putting together workout and dieting plans, or some money into buying them from one of the countless fitness experts out there. However, to truly gain the edge on your weight problem you need to add something else to your daily routine: vitamins for weight loss.

Indeed, vitamin supplements can actually be used to help you lose weight faster, but before getting into which ones you should take, it has to be said that vitamins alone will never cut it. You will always need to stay active and eat healthy if you want to lose weight and keep it off... vitamins simply happen to be a safe and effective method of accelerating the process. In any case, on with the main program.

The first vitamin you should take is referred to as Choline, and maintaining high levels of it is extremely important to allow your body to burn fat. If your choline levels happen to be too low, much the fat will get stuck in the liver and won't end up being metabolized. If you don't want to take it in pill form, you can get it from egg yolks, peanuts and wheat germ.
Another important vitamin for weight loss is iodine as it acts directly upon your thyroid gland, which in turn affects the rate of your metabolism. Increasing your body's iodine levels will, as you can guess, improve your metabolism, allowing your body to process and burn fat much faster than usually. The best way to get some iodine into your body is sea-kelp, a commonly-available type of seaweed.

While chromium sounds like something that belongs on the rims of your car, it also happens to be an integral supplement to weight loss as it helps to burn carbs, without forgetting it controls your hunger cravings. Many nutritionists are more than positive that taking chromium supplements while being on a diet provides better results.
There are numerous B vitamins which you should keep flowing in your body to keep its metabolism up and running, including B2, B3, B5 and B6. In addition, they contribute to maintaining your thyroid in good health. Good sources to obtain these vitamins from include wheat bran, oats and eggs.

It is also a priority that you increase your vitamin C dosage as it plays an important function in helping the body transform glucose in usable energy instead of being stored in the body. In other words, simply by increasing your vitamin C dosage you can cause your body to burn weight faster.

Finally, you should try one of the most interesting vitamins for weight loss, something called Coenzyme Q10. It ensures that the enzymes which break down substances in your body are functioning properly, in addition to which it affects your mitochondria, increasing its ability to produce. In turn, this results in an increased metabolism, allowing you to burn even more of the fat and calories you gain from food into energy.

The Fastest Way To Lose Fat On The Abs

Woman with Abs

For those of you that have been looking up varied ways to get the coveted six pack, you must be aware of the secret by now. We all have a six pack in the form of the rectus abdominis muscle. However, in most it is invisible as it is hidden under a thick layer of subcutaneous fat. Thus, if you're obsessed with a six pack, you must first get rid of the fat sitting on the abs and then work towards shaping and sculpting them.
The steps to this goal are simple and those that can be easily incorporated into your daily schedule. The only condition is that you need to persist and remain dedicated to achieve well-defined abdominal muscles.

Shrink your platter -

It starts with reducing the amount of food you eat. Many of us tend to eat more than the body requires. The excess, being of no use to the body, forms fatty deposits and accumulates in areas such as the hips, the stomach, the thighs and the arms. A smaller plate that holds less food will automatically shrink your appetite.

Watch what you eat -

It is important to adjust your eating habits to lose fat and build abs faster. The right diet includes eating a copious amount of protein both from animal sources such as lean protein and fish and from plant sources such as lettuce and spinach. Proteins help build and strengthen the body muscles. Reduce your intake of carbohydrates as they contain a large amount of calories. Eat fiber-rich fruits and vegetables as they regulate the health of the digestive system and are rich-in nutrients.

Boost the metabolic rate -

High intensity cardiovascular exercises are the best to lose belly fat. Cardio elevates the heart rate and thereby burns fat at a faster rate. Running, jogging, biking, cycling, skipping and dancing are popular cardio activities you can perform. Try to fit in minimum 30 minutes, 6 days a week. When working towards elevating the heart rate keep it within the target zone.

Build muscle -

Building muscle will not only help one lose stomach fat but also lose weight in general. This is because muscles use up more calories for their maintenance. You can build muscles through weight training exercises. You can do Pilates or use a weight machine. You can also use your body weight. In order to keep your workouts challenging and effective, you must gradually increase either the intensity or the number of repetitions or the weight. Abdominal exercises are also effective when it comes to building muscle. Crunches, push-ups and sit ups strengthen the muscles of the abdomen and the chest.

Hydrate the body -

Water is an essential component as it keeps the body functioning well. It gets rid of toxins and prevents the body from getting dehydrated. It is a good substitute for high calorie drinks such as sodas and processed fruit juices. To make water more effective for weight loss you can squeeze a lemon in it and drink the water.

Manage stress -

What many of us don't know is that stress is directly related to weight gain. Stress increases the levels of Cortisol which further increases appetite. You should look for various relaxation techniques to manage stress. Sleep in itself is a good way to unwind after a hard day.
If you follow the aforementioned tips honestly, you are sure to lose belly fat and sculpt abs in the least possible time. However, the amount of the time it takes for all your belly fat to melt away will also depend on the amount of fat your carry around your midsection.

Liposuction and tummy tucks might be the fastest way to lose fat on the abs, but they are definitely not the healthiest. It is more important to lead a healthy life in terms of diet, exercise, stress management and other lifestyle habits if you want to gain abs fast.

Low-Fat Diet No Longer Healthy

Low-Fat Diet

We are forever being told that this diet is better than the others due to a number of reasons, but often these reasons are without any kind of detailed information to back up those claims. However, that is not the case here because by compiling these 7 facts why a low carb diet is better than a low fat diet the aim is to prove this claim beyond any reasonable doubt. That being said, here are those seven amazing facts.

1. It restricts the amount of calories that you consume.
Yep, a low carb diet is going to automatically manage to reduce the amount of calories that you are consuming on a daily basis and obviously that is going to have a major impact on your ability to shed those pounds. However, the amazing thing is that when you are on a low carb diet you are free to basically eat as much as you want, within reason of course, whereas those on the low fat diet have it drilled into them that they need to count those calories right from the outset. The coolest thing is that they often end up consuming the same calories, but you have less restrictions on the low carb diet.

2. It has been proven that it leads to more weight loss.
This point is of course the key to all diets, but when it has been scientifically proven that this is the approach that results in the greatest weight loss, then surely you can see how it is better than a low fat diet? In some people they can actually lose twice the amount of weight, which is astonishing, but even better is that those on the low carb diet have a tendency to lose weight more in the abdominal area and this is better overall for our health. This can lead to a reduction in our chances of having heart disease or diabetes later on in life and this just does not happen with a low fat diet.

7 Habits That Cause Belly Fat

Belly fat

So, you’ve got yourself an absolutely gorgeous bikini to wear for a pool party two weeks from now. However, there’s a little bit of a problem – there’s no way of hiding your bulging belly fat in that skimpy swimsuit. Not sure how to trim down in order to do some justice to that awesome bikini waiting in your closet? Check out these seven habits that can cause belly fat – and be sure to do the opposite, so you can shape up and lose those unsightly bulges as fast as possible!

1. Drinking Carbonated Drinks Regularly

Can’t last a day without gulping down a can or two of soda? If this is you, then you’re certainly not being kind to your body. According to researchers, consuming one or two cans of soda daily causes your waistline to increase at least five times faster than those who barely drink soda in the course of a week. The concept behind this is that the high amount of sugar used in sodas trigger your craving for food, so you end up eating more than you should during mealtimes. Diet sodas aren’t any better than regular varieties since these contain artificial sweeteners, which can increase your appetite as much as sugar does. So if you have that serious craving for a satisfying drink, opt for healthy smoothies, fresh fruit juices, or a glass of water with lemon zest and mint leaves. You’re doing your body and overall health a favor by choosing a more nutritious drink that’s also low in sugar content. Since soda only causes you to add pounds without quenching your thirst, why bother drinking it, right?

2. Using a Larger Plate Each Time You Eat

Whether it’s a buffet dinner or just a regular meal at home, pay attention to the size of plate you use at mealtime. In a survey conducted among obese individuals, it was discovered that these people prefer larger plates over smaller or medium-sized ones. With a large plate size, they have more space for their food. So, how does this habit cause belly fat? Simple. When you have a larger space to pile up your food, you tend to consume more than your body needs, and that leads to more fat stored in your body. To avoid this nasty chain reaction, make it a point to use smaller plates and resist the urge to eat or go back for seconds when you’ve already had enough.

3. Dining Late at Night

While it’s true that your body naturally burns some flab as you sleep, it might not be able to efficiently do so when you go to bed on a full stomach. Aside from causing belly fat, eating late and reclining on a full stomach increases your risk of developing acid reflux and indigestion, since gravity is no longer able to pull everything in your tummy straight down. To prevent these conditions, consider eating smaller meals at night and don’t lie down for at least three hours after dinner. If possible, just snack on fruits in case you feel a bit hungry at night instead of raiding the fridge for sweet desserts to satisfy your craving.

The Case for Big Changes to Lose Weight

Chilhood obesity in America

So often we're told to make "small changes," but when would there ever be the need to really go cold turkey? Some people do (they toss out all the junk food or quit smoking) and have success. Think someone could talk about when exactly this can be a good thing?

For many people, their mindset when consuming certain foods can be addictive in nature. They try and try again to lose “those stubborn 30 pounds,” however they don’t change their trigger foods. Then in times of stress, they return to enjoy the sweet and gooey brownies, but without their normal mental armor reminding them to enjoy brownies “in moderation.”

How does one cope: should they throw out the idea of ever eating a brownie again, or know it’s a lifetime battle?

Currently, 70 percent of the population is overweight and/or obese. When going cold turkey with trigger foods, we need to have back-up plans in place. We need to understand the reasons behind nutrition and learn the addictive powers of junk food. According to the Food and Drug Administration, junk food actually leads to neuro-chemical addiction. Sugar is as addictive as cocaine. It’s science! In order to help overcome food addictions we need to further educate ourselves on the importance of eating a balanced, high fiber diet that helps shift cravings.

Learn how your own body responds to trigger foods to change your mindset and response. If stressed, have a back up plan.

1. Immediately lace up and go for a run/walk. Make a healthy swap and shift your attention—activity instead of stress eating through a pint of Ben & Jerry’s.

2. Throw away the leftover bites and know tomorrow is a new day. Pat your back that you didn’t call Betty Crocker over.

3. Call, not text, but call a friend to talk. Set up exercise dates for the week ahead. Mapping out fitness dates in advance helps after any stressful eating period.

4. Make sure to get seven to eight hours of sleep. Eat a protein-rich breakfast, and eliminate added sugars to help your mind be sharp to make healthy choices too.

5. Take five big breaths, remind yourself each day is new, and you are a good person. A bit cliché, but food doesn’t own who you are and how you live. You do! Buckle up buttercup and believe you can live healthy, active and happy.

More often than not, the all or nothing mentality sets people up for failure. It is due to the feeling of guilt and shame when the trigger food is consumed. People need to live, learn how to work with food in all settings, and retrain their mindset with trigger foods. To help ease food guilt, partake in conscious eating or mindful eating. Slowing down to listen to one’s body signals for fullness, fatigue and energy.

According to Jean Kristeller, Ph.D., cofounder of The Center for Mindful Eating, we need to learn along with our body about “taste satiety.” It varies with different foods, but some people lose their awareness of how foods even taste to please their taste buds, and that triggers overconsumption. Slow down to taste each bite, taking five big breaths between.

Dr. Oz's 10 Most Controversial Weight Loss Supplements

Dr.Oz

Yesterday Dr. Mehmet Oz basically admitted before a Senate subcommittee hearing that many of the claims he makes about weight loss supplements are not based in fact.
“I can’t figure this out, Dr. Oz – I don’t get why you need to say this stuff when you know it’s not true,” complained Senator Claire McCaskill in a hearing before the Senate subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety and Insurance. “When you have this amazing megaphone, why would you cheapen your show?”

Replied Oz: “I actually do personally believe in the items I talk about on the show. I passionately study them. I recognize that oftentimes they don’t have the scientific muster to present as fact. Nevertheless, I would give my audience the same advice I give my family, and I have given my family these products.”

The weight loss products Dr. Oz is talking about are, of course, the many supplements that have achieved mega-success after a mention on his show, a phenomenon now known as “the Oz effect.”
And while he admits they’re “controversial,” he also argues that they’re a necessary “crutch” for the two thirds of American adults now classified as obese.

“If the only message I gave was to eat less and move more, which is the most important thing people need to do, we wouldn’t be very effectively be tackling this challenge, because viewers know these steps and they still struggle,” he said. “So we search for tools and crutches for short-term support so people can jump-start their programs.”

Further defending the role of his show, he adds: “I would rather have a conversation about these materials on my stage than in back alleys.”
So what are the weight loss supplements getting Dr. Oz into hot water? A quick rundown:

1. Forskolin: In the hearings, McCaskill brings up Forskulin, reminding Oz that he called it “lightning in a bottle” and “a miracle flower” in an episode of his show this past January.
What it really is: A chemical found in the roots of the plant Plectranthus Barbatus that’s been used in traditional medicine to treat high blood pressure and heart disorders.

2. FBCx: Oz counters McCaskill with a defense of FBCx, “which is basically a fiber and we know that fiber when taken correctly is a very effective weight loss tool.”
What it really is: A type of fiber called alpha-cyclodextrin that’s been used to lower cholesterol and bind triglycerides. The term FBCx is an abbreviation for “Fat Binding Complexer” and is basically just a branding term.

3. Raspberry Ketones: Dr. Oz has called it: “A number one miracle in a bottle to burn your fat.”
What it really is: A compound derived from red raspberries that may help regulate adiponectin, a protein that affects metabolism.

4. Yakon Syrup: Dr. Oz has termed it “a metabolism game-changer.” What it really is: A syrup extracted from the root of the South American plant Smallanthus sonchifolius that can be used as a lower calorie alternative to sugar.

5. Saffron Extract: Dr. Oz touts this “miracle appetite suppressant” for its ability to banish cravings.
What it really is: A spice culled from the plant Saffron crocus, used in Asian and Middle Eastern cooking.

And 5 More: Other weight loss “miracles” touted by Dr. Oz include Sea Buckthorn, Capsiberry, Garcinia Cambogia, African Mango Seed, and Green Coffee Bean extract. In fact, it’s Green Coffee Bean extract that got Dr. Oz into trouble in the first place.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced last month that it was charging one company, Florida-based Pure Green Coffee, with false and deceptive advertising after they sold half a million bottles of green coffee bean extract (at $50 a pop) following a Dr. Oz episode discussing the supplement.

Do any of these weight loss supplements actually work?
We simply don’t know, because there aren’t reliable studies showing that they do. In some cases, extrapolating from other uses in either modern or traditional medicine, it seems possible that they could have weight loss benefits. (Here are 7 weight loss supplements that have at least some scientific data to back up their efficacy.)

But given the lack of studies, they also could have side effects or even pose serious risks at the concentrations necessary to cause significant weight loss.
And then there’s the problem of cost. “It’s a major problem when people are spending more and more money and they’re gaining more and more weight,” said Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota.

After chastizing Oz, McCaskill asked for his support in a movement for stronger consumer protection. “l know you care about America’s health,” she said. “You are being made an example of today because of the power you have in this space. We didn’t call this hearing to beat up on you but we did call this hearing to talk about a real crisis in consumer protection.”

Oz’s response: “I want to be part of the solution, not the problem.” Let’s see what that means in practice. What do you think of these products – fraud or fad worth trying?

Another Diet Myth Exploded: Gradual Weight Loss No Better Than Rapid Weight Loss

Eat good for Weight loss

Once again, a popular weight loss myth has been exploded. It has been widely believed that weight loss, which is nearly always difficult to maintain, is even less likely to stay lost if it is the product of a rapid weight loss. The belief is even enshrined in current guidelines. Now a study published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology provides no support for this belief. Instead, the study suggests that although long-term weight loss remains elusive regardless of the diet, short-term weight loss is actually more likely with rapid weight loss.

Australian researchers randomized 204 obese adults to either a 12-week rapid weight loss diet (with Nestlé’s Optifast) or a 36-week gradual diet. A weight loss of 15% was the goal of both diets. Participants who lost at least 12.5% of their weight then participated in the second phase of the study, in which they were placed on a 144-week maintenance diet.

In the first phase of the study, 50% of people on the gradual diet and 81% of people on the rapid diet achieved the 12.5% weight loss goal. Both groups struggled considerably in the second phase: 71.2% in the gradual diet group and 70.5% in the rapid diet regained most of the weight they had shed in the first phase. In both groups, patients who successfully completed phase 1 lost a little over 14 kilograms in the first phase but then gained back all but 4 kg in the second phase.

In an accompanying comment, Corby Martin and Kishore Gadde write that the study shows that “a slow and steady approach does not win the race, and the myth that rapid weight loss is associated with rapid weight regain is no more true than Aesop’s fable.” They cite a number of potential short-term advantages of very low calorie diets and note that these diets are now well formulated and provide adequate protein and essential micronutrients. They are “safe if used under expert supervision,” the write.

“Across the world, guidelines recommend gradual weight loss for the treatment of obesity, reflecting the widely held belief that fast weight loss is more quickly regained,” said the first author of the paper, Katrina Purcell, of the University of Melbourne, in a press release. “However, our results show that achieving a weight loss target of 12.5% is more likely, and drop-out is lower, if losing weight is done quickly.”

In response to the above post a reader left an extraordinarily thoughtful and moving comment. Since comments are often overlooked I have decided to post the full comment here:

I just read your piece on weight loss rated rapid vs slow and steady. I am a veteran with decades of experience. I have successfully lost 143 pounds in 2001 with what is known as the vlcd program. I spent from March 31,2001 until November of 2001 with 700 calories average daily intake. I came out at a healthy weight but not mentally prepared to deal with the aftermath of a completely morphed body image. I could not wrap my brain around what had transpired in 6 short months. I still saw the 333 pound woman when I looked in the mirror. I still caught myself looking in the plus sized clothing section. There are as many factors that cause morbid obesity as there are programs offering the “cure”
My doctor tried to prepare me for the mental effects as well as guide me through the health aspects. I held my ground but one unexpected stressor in my life set me on that treacherous path . In eighteen months I found myself at 367 pounds, forty-four pounds heavier than when I started. I floundered and tried for 5 more years. In March of 2006 I made the choice to have a roux en y gastric bypass, in 6 months I was well on my way with 100 pounds off. In all I lost about 165 pounds. That was over eight years ago. The statistics for gastric bypass are as for all other weight loss programs. Eighty percent will gain at least 30 pounds, twenty percent will gain all and possibly more,leaving them worse off .
I was as low as 190 and at the four year mark was back to 260. There are several factors that gave me the impetus to not become a statistic. I had promised myself to never again let my body suffocate the life out of my living. I enforced a number in my mind 200 lbs. as a 5 foot 7 woman, I am healthy looking and comfortable. I set it in my mind as an alarm clock. I didn’t allow a snooze button. If I pass it up it is a buzzing noise altering my behaviors, keeping me alert. I don’t obsess, I refuse to give one more minute of my life over to the agony of obesity.
I do what I can to ensure continued stability. I exercise everyday. I don’t dread it. I don’t think of it a weight-loss perspective. I focus on the mood lifting benefits and the new found energy and strength.
More than a few people comment on my daily trek at 5 am to the health club. They say they wish they could, or they just don’t have the time. I hate mornings, I don’t have time. I just do it. I look forward to it, it has become a solo rendezvous with the person who wakes up everyday in a strange new body that feels comfortable and gives me a sense of immeasurable satisfaction. She communes with the woman who nearly died under 170 pounds of dysfunctional living. They give each other mutual love and respect. I was morbidly obese not out of laziness, or lack of willpower; I was surviving in the only way I knew how.
I am skilled at losing 50 pounds in the slow and steady method, I have proven that rapid weight loss is doable if you focus on end results. I have lived everyday since March of 2006 with the knowledge that my escape from morbid obesity is fleeting as the blanket of low lying fog on a beautiful fall morning. If I don’t pay attention I will never know the moment it faded away. My workouts are the time I “sit and take in the beauty” it brings to every moment of my life.
In 2012 I lost the 60 pounds I had gained and I maintain between 190 and 205. I have learned to live. I am beginning to forgive and love what I have become. I have no strict diet, I have no set routine for exercise. I just do. I make good choices when I can. I do some sort of activity everyday.

Gastric bypass is trading one set of issues for another. I have had a few health challenges that remind me of the sacrifices I chose to make. I am not on any particular band wagon. I don’t recommend any method for weight loss be it rapid or slow and steady. Weight loss success doesn’t fall into a neat formulaic pattern it is a solo path for each sojourner . Some don’t make their destination. If like myself someone is blessed with success; I encourage them to take a moment everyday to acknowledge the rarity and beauty of it. To love themselves enough to make the choice everyday to hang on to the blessings they’ve been afforded.

The Ultimate Weight Loss Product Guide

Weight Loss Guide

Are you one of the many who may be tempted by advertisements for diet pills and other weight loss products promising easy, quick ways to lose weight? Were you aware that a simple 30 minute infomercial can cost anywhere from $80,000 to 120,000 dollars to make. Pretty crazy don't you think? Yet time and time again you see countless weight loss infomercials selling product after product.

Fad Diets and many diet pills are pitched by persistent advertising and many people, possibly even you will join the parade of followers. Yet 95% of the time, these weight loss products will prove to fail you once again -- leaving you with nothing but charges to your credit card and set-up to regain all those pounds. So why are people constantly and willingly paying their hard earned money for these weight loss products?

"Stop Throwing Your Hopes Into Every Weight Loss Product That Comes By"

We want you to stop being their guinea pigs and understand and realize just how many of these diet pills and other weight loss companies are cashing in at your expense. To help you avoid getting "trapped or suckered" into believing or choosing a weight loss product or service that does nothing but contribute and add to the problems.

Stop Getting Taken! The following factors are exactly what many weight loss products and services use and exploit in order to get you to buy into their utterly false claims...

Factor 1 -- HOPE
Hope is a good thing, you need hope. But the problem is that many times you have such high hopes that you put those hopes into anything, regardless if its legit or not. By putting your hopes of weight loss into products and services that are not providing the necessary means you need, your ultimately setting yourself up for failure and your hopes will get crushed. Have hope, just make sure you put your hope into the right service and don't let your strong sense of hope blind you into not seeing the red-flags and other lies.

Bottom Line -- Don't let your strong sense of hope make you believe things that are not true!

Factor 2 -- Emotion
Lets face it, your weight and appearance can be a touchy, emotional subject. And it should be, its your life! But how many times have you seen a weight loss infomercial where someone breaks down into tears while talking about how miserable they were when overweight and how deeply happy and relieved they are now ... and how they owe it all to that particular weight loss product or "revolutionary system." The product is doing this intentionally!

Weight loss products know you're emotional about how you look ... they also know that when your emotional, it causes you to act on impulse. They have a better chance to "hook- you" when you're emotional and "touched." Products try to stir up your emotion in an effort to get you to act impulsively and buy into their claims. You should be emotional about your health and the way you look, but don't let them use your emotion against you. Don't let your emotion blind you into not seeing the red-flags and real reason that they're really there -- to get the "2 easy payments of $39.99" out of you!

Factor 3 -- Marketing Savvy & Media
Just because you're constantly seeing weight loss ads and commercials for diet pills and the new "xxx diet" does not mean it works and is credible. Just because you see a celebrity hosting the weight loss infomercial or program (who has been generously paid off ... do you really think a movie star is going to do an infomercial for free?) does not mean it's effective. What it does mean is that they have thousands, if not millions of dollars to pay for advertising and marketing so they can get their product in front of you, be it radio, television, internet etc. so they can constantly "pitch you."

How affective is marketing? Recently, a diet pill company was making the bogus claim "take our weight loss pill and you can eat what you want and burn fat as you sleep" and made $152 million in profit over 3 short years by doing radio commercials at over 600 stations across the country! That is until the Government stepped in and cracked down! And all the restaurants that are adding the "new xxx diet approved" menus, all they're doing is trying to make money too! Restaurants know that people are willingly paying, so why wouldn't they add low carb diet dishes (even though the number of calories in these dishes are alarmingly high and will cause you to pack on pounds!)

Realize, that just because you see a weight loss product time and time again on the television or radio does not mean it will be effective in losing permanent weight. All these weight loss companies are trying to do is get their product in front of you over and over so it will be there when you're ready to buy. Many people make the mistake of assuming a product is credible simply because it's constantly on television.

Factor 4 - Repetition
Diet pills and other weight loss products figure they more they can get in front of you, the more likely you're going to buy it when that time comes. Lets face it, if you were interested in building a deck, when that time comes don't you think your going to choose the "smith deck company" that you saw time and time again on TV. Most people will simply use the one that's most convenient and right there. Many times people just pick the first product or service that comes to their head and have high hopes that everything will just work out. Unfortunately, many times it's no different with weight loss products.

This is exactly why you see the same infomercial every day, every hour of the day for like 1 month straight ... and then all of a sudden it's gone. They get in, make their money on desperate people looking to lose weight, and then they get out! And if you see it again in like 3-4 months down the road, this means they made a lot of money on it previously and are back to make more. They wouldn't be there if they weren't making money - period!

The product is trying to pound it into you head and keep coming at you because they know, the more you see it, the more likely you will be to buy it. Don't get suckered! Just because they are always there, does not mean it will help you.

Factor 5 - Pressure
This is a big one. The bottom line -- when people are pressured they act impulsively. Often times you put way to much pressure on yourself. In today's society so much emphasis is placed on health and appearance. People feel pressured to look a certain way and this is certainly the case with being overweight as people will do anything to lose weight. Weight loss products go out of their way to put additional pressure on you, knowing that it will cause you to act and buy. Many of the weight loss infomercials are very good at the art of getting you to believe that ... "finally this is it, the only product that's going to change your life!" The truth is that all they're doing is adding additional pressure.

Bottom Line -- Don't let the pressure you feel to lose weight allow you to buy into and believe false claims. A sense of urgency to lose weight is good, but don't feel so pressured that it causes you to act impulsively and spend your hard - earned money on the first thing you come across that sounds good. When you feel pressured, it will allow you to start believing and putting your hopes into things that are not true because you feel like "I need to do something about my weight and I need to do it now!" Weight loss products know this and that is what they are wanting you to do. Don't allow it and don't allow yourself to be one of their guinea pigs! It will just cost you in the end!

General Rules To Keep In Mind When
Dealing With Weight Loss Products

Be Realistic -- If there was a way to "lose 30 pounds in 30 days and keep it off" or "eat what you want and still lose weight" don't you think that we would all look like supermodels?

Use Common Sense -- If there were magic diet pills or easy way to lose weight and keep it off, don't you think the top movie stars and celebrities who make millions and millions of dollars would have it.

Allow Yourself To Believe Both Sides -- If you're going to make the mistake of believing the lies and fabrications many weight loss products are telling you, at least allow yourself to believe that they may indeed be "lying and deceiving you" as well. It's only fair that you allow yourself to look at both sides as this will help you to form a better judgment.

"If It Was That Easy..." Lets face it, if it was as easy as all these health and weight loss infomercials and ab contraptions make it, the statistic of 95% failing would not exist! There would be no problems. Don't believe their lies and fabrications

About Hypnotherapy For Weight Loss

Hypnotherapy for Weight Loss

Hypnosis is a state of inner absorption and concentration and it's usually done by a hypnotherapist using mental images and verbal repetition.
When you are put under hypnosis your attention is highly focused and as a result you are more responsive to suggestions which include behavior changes that help you in losing weight.

Pros of hypnosis
One of the advantages is that it helps you to easily lose weight. According to experts, the technique helps you to lose up six pounds in a month. You should note that although this is the average amount that you can lose in a month, you can lose more if you work hard.
This means that you should concentrate more and thoroughly follow what your therapist advises you to do.
Another advantage of the weight loss technique is that you can easily find a therapist to help you. If there is no therapist in your area, you can go online and find one.
If you don't have money to hire a therapist, you don't have to worry as you can undertake self-hypnosis. Here you only need to read articles or watch videos that will guide you on how to go about the process.

Cons of the technique

The main disadvantage of the technique is that you can't use it as a substitute for diet and exercise. This means that you can't use the technique on-its-own. For you to find results you should incorporate dieting and exercises as part of your plan.
This means that once you concentrate on the ideal foods to take, you should take the foods for you to witness results.

Tips on how to get the most from hypnotherapy
Communicate: just like everything else, communication is important in hypnosis. You should communicate with your therapist on everything in order to clear the air. For example, you should communicate about the trance state which is an important part of hypnotherapy.
You should remember that different people experience trance differently. For example, some feel heavy, others light, and others drift off into a sleep-like state. You should communicate with your therapist for him/her to use the right techniques that will help you access trance.

Do your homework: since you will be learning, your therapist may ask you to do some homework. The homework can include concentrating a few minutes about the food that you need to avoid. For you to attain the right results you should do homework and ask as many questions as possible.

Hypnosis for Weight Loss is very effective when its done under the guidance of a highly trained individual.

Suggestions For Juicing Superfoods For Your Breakfast

There are a lot of health-food nuts out there, always pushing their organic and microbiotic products on you. But is this food really nutritious? The truth is that nutrition is a wide-ranging issue, and you need to be informed about every type of food. Read this article for some great nutrition tips.

The most important meal of the day, breakfast gives you the energy and motivation needed to lose weight. Breakfast foods naturally contain the carbohydrates, vitamins, and healthy sugars that everyone needs to function effectively and lose weight. Without breakfast, many people will find themselves overeating later in the day. So, never skip breakfast; it will haunt you later that day.

Try to eat more white meat in your diet everyday. Most protein comes from animal fat and this kind provides the least amount versus red meat. You can find tasty white meat in turkey, chicken and even pork. Add these to items such as sandwiches, salads, stews, soups, etc; the possibilities are endless.

Add more whole and cut up fruit to your diet. Fruit, not fruit juice, supplies your body with the fiber it needs to function properly and to ward off diseases like cancer. The fiber makes it filling also. Fruit is a great source of important nutrients such as vitamin C, potassium, and folic acid. Fruit can also satisfy cravings for sweets.

You will want to consider pesticides and their effect on your food. They are generally portrayed as detrimental. But if you talk with farmers, you may come to a more nuanced view. For instance, you may hear that some fungicides are necessary; that a healthy crop cannot be produced without them, and that none of the chemical is retained on the produce you buy.

Try eating low-fat dairy products. Milk and cheese have very high fat levels, and instead of cutting them out of a healthy diet completely, try eating them in a more sensible, low-fat way. Try cheeses that are lower in fat, such as cottage cheese, and try purchasing 1% or 2% milk. This way you can still enjoy dairy foods and their benefits.

Buy frozen vegetables to use in your meals. While fresh vegetables are great they can spoil quickly and some have very short growing seasons. Frozen vegetables are processed immediately after picking and freezing them keeps their nutritive value intact. Since frozen vegetables are already washed and cut you can easily add them to recipes.

When considering a diet that provides an adequate nutrition level, be sure to include snacking as a part of your regular day. This will ensure that your metabolism stays in shape. Not everyone can eat six meals as recommended, due to obligations with friends or family. Be sure to snack on healthy foods such as toasted almonds or dried fruit.

When considering your nutrition, do not over do it with vitamins and supplements. Multivitamin pills can never replace the amount of nutrients that you receive in eating food. While they are good to compliment your meal with, never substitute a pill for real food. Your body might not react well to a large intake of concentrated vitamins.

Finding proper nutrition information is easy. For those of us starting out, it's a good idea to eat a balanced diet. You will need to make sure you are getting about 15-20% protein, around 20-30% fat and at least 50-55% of carbohydrates. This will leave your body feeling fresh and refined.

A great nutrition tip if you have diabetes is to regular check your blood sugar levels when you eat a new food. It's important to know how each food impacts your blood sugar level, and if you do this frequently, you'll learn which foods are okay and which ones aren't.

As you can see, good nutrition is easy to incorporate into your lifestyle if you make a few simple choices. You may need to tailor these tips to your personal needs. Begin today to make the positive choices you need to make. You must develop a plan to give yourself the nourishment your body and mind deserve, and stick with it. You will notice a difference.
