Low Carb/Mediterranean Diets Better for Weight Loss AND Health
…according to a hot-off-the presses study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The Atkins diet may have proved itself after all: A low-carb diet and a Mediterranean-style regimen helped people lose more weight than a traditional low-fat diet in one of the longest and largest studies to compare the dueling weight-loss techniques…Average weight loss for those in the low-carb group was 10.3 pounds after two...
Keeping a Food Diary Doubles Weight Loss
I’d be tempted to file this study in the “duuuuuhhhh” category, as keeping a food journal is something I’ve done for every fat loss diet I’ve ever been on since I was 14 years old…and it’s something both Paul and I have discussed before. But it bears repeating. And it’s good to see this sort of practical advice confirmed scientifically. With all the handy-dandy online tools and...
1.5 Cheers for McDonald’s
Chris Coleson’s 80+ pound weight loss hit the news cycle recently. The former 276 pounder now weighs in at a relatively svelte 190 lbs. and has dropped 14 pants sizes: his waist went from 50 inches to 36 inches.

But rather than try conventional diets, which had failed him before, the then 276-pound Coleson opted for his own...
The “No TV” Diet!
Here’s a suggestion for losing weight… Unplug the TV. Or, if you want to live a little more dangerously, pull a “Keith Richards,” and heave it off the balcony (checking first for innocent civilians below), or empty a couple of shells of double-ought buck into it from a safe distance away (the living room?). Whatever you do, it’s time to bid good riddance to this benevolent monster. OK, OK, all silliness...
Funny…
If you’re considering getting a spa body wrap done to “tone and firm” your body, read this first. 😀
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
The LA Times has a nice little photo montage, illustrating the “thin” line between eating a 1600 calorie weight loss diet vs. a fat-inducing 3000 calorie one. Now, in my view, the line really isn’t that thin…the difference between the meals is pretty obvious. The 1600 calorie day meals are all low fat and high in fiber: veggies or fruits are featured in each meal. What I find interesting about the 3000...
