Move Over, Alli?
According to new research, alginate – a viscous fiber extracted from seaweed – reduces fat absorption. Seaweed to tackle rising tide of obesity Seaweed could hold the key to tackling obesity after it was found it reduces fat uptake by more than 75 per cent, new research has shown. Now the team at Newcastle University are adding seaweed fibre to bread to see if they can develop foods that help you lose weight while you eat...
Small Angry People II
I have to admit, I was tempted to call this post “B***h Right 4 Your Type,” in honor of the review (”Eat Right 4 Your Type“) – and subsequent comment by “Elizabeth Victoria” – that inspired it. But since I already have a post titled “Small, Angry People,” I figured I’d turn this one into a sequel. It’s not as clevah, perhaps, but the shoe (definitely) fits. So what’s the deal? Here’s the background: Like most sensible...
Quit Harping on the Scale, Jennifer!
I get health and fitness e-mail updates from the Washington Post, so I can’t help but be aware of columnist Jennifer LaRue Huget’s “Me Minus 10” quest to lose 10 pounds. She’s using her column for motivation, which is cool, in a way. Nothing like having a nation-wide audience to help you stay accountable.

In fact, this “bait-and-switch” is so common, I’m not surprised to see various characters assume...
UFB.com 1, Proactol 0
Just thought I’d draw attention to the fact that Paul has updated his review on a fat loss supp called “Proactol.” It’s worth reading in full, if for no other reason than to see how low some supp company reps will go to suppress legitimate critiques of their products. Fortunately, Paul isn’t easily intimidated. 😉 P.S. Speaking of legal threats, this is as good a time as any to link to The Most...
Spin Cycle
I just stumbled over this article, “New Weight Loss Can Burn Caloric Equivalent to 20-Minute Walk” – and had to check it out. The exact mechanism of how spices work to influence metabolism still remains unclear, but studies suggest that they effectively increase body temperature thus making us burn more calories even without exercising. Now if only scientists could find a way to combine the two methods into an easy...
