The Ritual of Food Addiction
If you’ve been trying to figure out the weight-loss game for as long as I’ve been coaching people – twenty five years – you’ve most likely been trying to avoid food, even though that point of view has not worked. What you need to do is to look at the ritual leading up to the part where you finish everything on your plate.
No Finger Foods
If you’re really convinced that you’re hungry, it’s time to eat. This means food on a plate to be eaten with utensils knife, fork, spoon, chopsticks, not fingers. What a radical thought.

>"Cookie Cutter" Low Carb Diet Plans Explained
Most diet plans, including low carb diet plans are best taken with a grain of salt, because although one may work for your best friend, it may not work for you. For those with serious weight problems and have co-existing issues such as hyperglycaemia high blood sugar levels or like some of us hypoglycaemia low blood sugar levels etc., the popular diet plans usually will not be able to cater to individual needs. We are all individuals and as such we need to feed ourselves as individuals, having said this some diet plans will be more beneficial for the general population that others.
Good Food/Bad Food Whats Left to Eat
Whats Good Today is Bad Tomorrow: What Can I Eat
Mikey Doesn’t Like It!
Let’s give the late Dr. Robert Atkins some credit. Over more than a quarter of a century he made us realize that we can get along with fewer carbohydrates than most of us have become used to. It’s too bad that his weight loss plan has not lived up to its promise. There are some successes, to be sure, but since the beginning of the Atkins Revolution obesity has tripled in adults as well as children.
Unsung Benefits of Breastfeeding

After all, infant mortality in Western societies is at historic lows and growth patterns are normal. But is that all there is to it Could there be other advantages to breastfeeding, both to the mother and to the infant
Whither Low-Carb
Fads fade for a reason. Like pet rocks, low-carb diets will disappear because they just don’t do anything worthwhile. The dropout rate is high – about 50 percent – because the diets are boring and are unpalatable to most people. More than 90 percent of dieters return to their previous weight within 5 years, most of them even sooner. Minor side effects such as headache, fuzzy thinking, irritability, halitosis and constipation are almost universal among Atkins adherents. Severe side effects are, fortunately, rare.
Eat Like a Stone Ager Without Feeling like One
The word is getting around that the modern dietary lifestyle is one of the reasons why Americans are overweight and burdened by chronic disease. The diet that’s right for us, according to many experts, is what our Stone Age ancestors ate. But is that realistic Didn’t they eat food raw, and have lots of meat
Kids and The Low-Carb Lifestyle
Some pediatricians have been prescribing a low-carb diet for a select group of children for decades, and what they have seen is very unsettling. The ketogenic diet was developed more than 80 years ago in order to control seizures that did not respond to the anticonvulsant medications that were available then. There are now dozens of medications that help to control seizures but the ketogenic diet is still used. The good news is that it does stop or slow down the frequency of seizures. The bad news is that it has some unhealthy effects on the heart.

The Zone Diet Explained
Developed by Barry Sears PhD, the Zone Diet is the latest in a long line of attempts to get a fresh angle on weightloss, and is currently among the 5 most popular diets in the States, partly because dieters report losing up to 5 pounds in the first week, and up to 1.5 pounds each week thereafter. Dr Sears main thrust is that food is medecine for the body, and not just the fuel. He proposes an "ideal" ratio of carbohydrates, proteins and fats - namely 40% carbs to 30% protein and 30% fat, which is supposed to keep the body within a healthy zone determined by hormones. Slightly complicating matters is the concept that some carbs are good, and some are bad. Refined Carbohydrates such as pasta, potatoes and bread are bad, and need to be strictly controlled.

Supplements and Drugs: A Hazardous Combination

NC—The amount of nutrients in our food is steadily declining, according to recent research.
