We have all dieted again and again, sometimes we see results and sometimes we go for weeks without the loss of a single pound. Now what if you could see and feel the results each day? Isnt that the diet we have all been looking for? A diet that gives you the results you are expecting or even better results! Well this diet exists and its most commonly called the HCG diet. Losing weight with HCG has been found to be the quickest way to loose weight without sacrificing your health and metabolism. Many people lose a pound a day and sometimes more. Imagine a month from now weighing 30 pounds less! This is the most effective diet because with rapid weight loss you normally experience loss in fat as well as muscle, which can result in changes to your metabolism, loss of energy and sagging or loose skin. However, with the HCG diet you will maintain your muscle mass, feel energized and loose only fat. It really is the most effective way to loose weight. What is the HCG Diet? The HCG weight loss protocol consists of a very low calorie diet (VLCD) accompanied by treatments of HCG, either oral or injected. The average HCG dieter experiences rapid weight loss averaging 1 to 3 pounds per day. In addition to loss of unwanted fat, the true benefit of the HCG protocol is its ability to help modify the dieter's relationship with food and eating, resulting in easily maintained, long-term weight loss.Price: $70.00

Big Breakfasts Don't Help Weight Loss
Somewhere down the line you may have heard that the key to weight loss is to; "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper".
But, if you do eat like a king for breakfast, you may be royally ticked at your lack of progress, according to a study in the Nutrition Journal.
Volker Schusdziarra, MD, of the Else-Kröner-Fresenius Center of Nutritional Medicine in Munich, conducted a study on 380 normal weight and obese people who were asked to log what they ate.
Within the group, sometimes people ate a big breakfast, sometimes small, and sometimes skipped it altogether. Says Schusdziarra,
"People ate the same at lunch and dinner, regardless of what they had for breakfast."
Researches did note that for those who ate a really big breakfast, they often skipped a mid-morning snack, but this did not offset the surplus they had already eaten by days end.
This study further underscores the fact that your body is smarter than you are. Breakfast is highly individual. Not only is it ill-advised to scarf down a huge breakfast if your goal is fat loss, but you shouldn't eat breakfast at all if you're not hungry. It would be interesting to see the contents/caloric breakdown of the breakfasts as this could have implications as to total caloric intake. Eating higher protein breakfasts for example can keep you fuller for longer, which can contribute to an overall caloric deficit.Conclusion: Eat like a sensible king - most of the time.

Poll: Is HCG Weight Loss A Scam?
Dr. David Katz, the director of Yale University's Prevent Research Center thinks so.
He has researched all of the data regarding the recently resurrected HCG diet and found there to be no supporting evidence of it's success. He describes HCG diet marketers as nothing more than "snake oil" salesmen.
The HCG Diet has been around since the 60's and Katz has this to say about its latest resurgence in popularity;
"I have done my best to search the world's scientific literature objectively, and the below abstracts constitute the bulk of the yield. They constitute a clear, scientific indictment of an insidious exploitation of weight loss desperation that has waxed and waned with memory. When people forget that HCG diet claims are all false, its popularity rises again."
However, there are dieters out there that swear HCG helped them drop significant amounts of weight.

U.S. Government Set to Improve School Food
To help curb childhood obesity, the United States Department of Agriculture has unveiled a new proposal to bring healthier food, such as more fruits and vegetables, to the nation's public schools.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), childhood obesity has tripled over the past 30 years. Rates went from 6.5% to 19.6%, between 1980 and 2008, among kids 6 to 11 years old. And in adolescents, ages 12 to 19, jumped from 5.0% to 18.1%.
Not only does the new plan aim to increase fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, but it also seeks to cut sodium and saturated fats in cafeteria food, and to outright ban trans-fat from schools.
The new proposal would also limit the availability of many cafeteria food favorites, like pizza and French fries. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, says the initiative will affect the estimated 32 million school lunches, and 12 million school breakfasts served every year.
Ultimately the crack down on unhealthy food, and improved availability of healthy food is designed to halt the continual increase in childhood obesity, and encourage better eating habits in children for the rest of their lives.
Some conservative politicians argue the monitoring of nutrition standards in school food is no business off the federal government, but this contention is largely scoffed at by health advocates and ignored by the public at large.
Other highlights of the proposal include monitoring of snacks sold in vending machines. Additionally, once the rules take effect, schools must meet the standards in order to be eligible for federal assistance, i.e. funding.
The CDC warns that obesity in childhood increases children's risk of developing health problems, such as heart disease, type-2 diabetes, stroke, and certain types of cancer, later in life.

Obesity Costs the United States $270 Billion a Year
Obesity-related healthcare and loss of productivity at work costs the United States and Canada $300 billion a year, reveals a new study.
The United States accounts for the lion-share of the money at $270 billion. Canada spends $30 billion
According the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2005 1.6 billion adults, ages 15 and older, were overweight and at least 400 million adults were obese, especially in developed countries.
The research, conducted by the Society of Actuaries (SOA), breaks down the near $300 billion figure: the United States and Canada spend $127 billion on obesity-related medical care; $49 billion in loss of worker productivity due to higher rates of death; $43 billion in loss of productivity due to worker disability; and $72 billion in total worker disability.
The SOA compiled its findings from research published between January 1980 and June 2009. A SOA spokesperson said the increasing rate of obesity has an "extraordinary" economic cost, and calls for employers and insurance companies to take an active role in helping people make healthy decisions.
Obesity is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 and up; below 30 is considered overweight.
Additionally, the SOA conducted an online survey of 1,000 adults, finding that 83% of participants would adopt a healthy lifestyle program if they were given incentives from their health insurance.
In the United States, obesity varies from state to state. The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention pegs Mississippi as the fattest state; 34.4% of its population is obese. Colorado is the slimmest with 18.6%.

7 Ideas to Keep Children Active This Winter
The January "blahs" may have hit in your household. With New Years resolutions perhaps long gone, here are 7 ways to prevent your family from going into full-blown hibernation this winter.
Community Centers: Recreation centers are one of the best resources to keep children active during the cold months. Sign your little ones up for a sport or activity they are interested in. Swimming, ice skating and other indoor activities are perfect opportunities to keep fit.Brave the Elements: Depending on where you live, inclement weather isn't always a bad thing. If you live in a snowy climate, enjoy building a snow fort, snow shoeing or a good old winter trek. If you're near a hill - tobogganing is great, and if you have fields/trails nearby - give cross country skiing a shot.Wii Tournament: Have a fun active games night if you have a gaming system to accommodate (wii, kinect), etc. Wii boxing burns a decent amount of calories and several vigorous games of rock band is never a bad thing.
Dance Party: Crank the music and get your kids to show you their stuff! If they are too young to know how embarrassed they should be by you, show them your stuff too, mom and dad!
Home Obstacle Course: Use furniture, toys, broom handles and get your kids crawling, stepping and climbing through obstacles that you can all set up.
"Commercial Challenge": I know, most people "PVR" nowadays, but pause shows every 10 minutes or so and set up a physical challenge with your kids like a push-up contest, 100 jumping jacks or a game of flip the bear (dad or mom on the floor on all fours while kids try and knock them over).
Trip to the Mall: A brisk stroll around the mall is a good way to pass some time after school or on the weekend in the cold months. Walk extra fast past the food court though!
The key is for parents to take the initiative here and do these activities with the children as much as possible. Making it a family affair will help get the whole family more fit as well as provide opportunities for bonding. Setting limits on screen time will help open the doors for activity opportunities.

Earlier last year we mentioned the trial of a super-size Starbucks drink - the Trenta. The Trenta is the next size up from Venti and measures up at 31 fluid ounces, or 916 mls. Starbucks have now announced the US-wide roll-out of the drink. Why? According to Starbucks:
We listened to you. You told us on My Starbucks Idea and through your purchases that you love refreshing iced coffee and tea beverages but want them in a larger size.
Venti is not large enough. Apparently we want it even bigger.
Before shaking my fist in holy nutritional outrage, let's get the facts straight here. The only drinks offered in this size is the Iced Tea and Iced Coffee blend. The Trenta Iced Coffee is about 220 Calories with 42 grams of sugar. To get perspective, a 12 ounce can of Coca Cola has 39 grams of sugar.
So the Trenta is not necessarily a Calorie-laden monstrosity, and neither is Starbucks the harbinger of death. The problem here is the consumer, and the problem with the consumer is one thing:
Gluttony.
Over the last decade, we've all been made aware of rising obesity rates, healthcare costs. We've become environmentally aware, and conscious of sustainability, and even entertained the notion of moderation. We have just one planet and we need to share that planet with others. Most of us aware that the US consumes a significant portion of the world's resources, and yet, somehow, we are addicted to more.
We can watch The Biggest Loser. We can buy our diet books. We can argue over which nutritional regime is best. We can discuss workouts and whether to Zumba or Pilates.
Here's a better idea:
Let's start facing up to how greed and entitlement underpins so many facets of our culture and that our obsession with overconsumption might actually be hurting us.
Overweight Young Adults and Social Clusters
Heavier young adults tend to hang out with and date other overweight people.
While this research doesn't seem to be inherently shocking, the study shows an encouraging sub-finding -- overweight young adults have more social contacts trying to lose weight, and greater intentions to lose weight.
Study author, Dr. Tricia M. Leahey, assistant professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown Medical School, said the findings support previous research which found health behaviors, and their results, "cluster" within social networks.
The study included 151 participants of normal weight, and 137 overweight or obese men and women. Participants completed questionnaires about their weight, height, the number of overweight social contacts, and their perceived social norms for obesity and obesity-related behaviors.
Previous research from Harvard Medical School has found that a person's chance of becoming obese increases 57 percent if a friend becomes obese, 40 percent if a sibling becomes obese, and 37 percent if a spouse becomes obese.
Despite this, Leahey and her team discovered that,
If overweight young adults have more social contacts trying to lose weight, they have greater intentions to lose weight.
Why did those who had social contacts trying to lose weight say they were trying themselves to lose? Leahey says social norms for weight loss, such as encouragement from others and their approval for weight loss, account for the association.
Researchers are not sure whether overweight people seek out other overweight people, or whether normal weight people who become friends with overweight people put on weight.
Leahey suggests that it's likely both. Overweight people tend to attract one another, but she also describes the phenomenon as a social contagion.
It is somewhat encouraging to know that although people are attracted to those with similar habits, they are also the goals of friends and partners.
Leahey suggests that overweight young adults join forces with other overweight peers who are trying to lose weight.
Do you think overweight social networks have a net positive effect on weight loss efforts?

Exercise Helps Cool Irritable Bowels
Staying active and getting regular exercise may offer relief for people suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
New research reveals moderate to vigorous exercise helped reduce common symptoms of irritable bowels: cramps, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea.
The causes of IBS vary from person to person, but the Mayo Clinic lists elevated stress levels, hormonal changes, food triggers, and illnesses like gastroenteritis, as potential risk factors for IBS.
According to WebMD, 55 million Americans suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, mostly occurring in women.
Published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology, scientists examined 102 adults with IBS, instructing one group of people to get 20 to 60 minutes of exercise on three to five days out of the week, such as walking or biking.
The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends 30 minutes or longer of moderately intense physical activity, like walking, on most or all days; also adding variety to your workout to help prevent boredom.
After three months, 43% of the exercise group showed "clinically significant" improvement in their symptoms, i.e. feeling better in their daily lives. Based on the results, the researchers say if you stay active you can expect a reduction in symptoms. Conversely, remaining sedentary will worsen your IBS.
Food and diet may be the biggest risk factor for irritable bowel syndrome. According to the Mayo Clinic, foods like chocolate, alcohol, carbonated beverages, caffeine, candy, artificial sweeteners, and dairy products in lactose intolerant individuals can bring on IBS symptoms.
Common treatments for irritable bowels include medications, cutting out gas-causing foods, and switching to a healthier diet, namely eating more fruits and vegetables.

Free Giveaway: Healthy Eating Handbook
Before I begin my review, I must come right out and confess that the Healthy Eating Handbook is my own product. I'll try to be objective, but you'll understand if I'm a little biased!
It's easy to get lost in the sea of diets available these days. It can be really disconcerting, in fact. And for some of you, perhaps you just want to eat healthy, no more dieting. But where to begin?
This is exactly why I've written the Healthy Eating Handbook -- it is for those of you who are simply fed up with fad dieting, and failed weight loss attempts.
My main emphasis when writing this book was to show people how balance and moderation can lead to a healthier diet; even weight loss, if necessary.
Here are just some of the topics covered in the Healthy Eating Handbook: How to eat until you feel satisfied, not stuffed.Menu planning to help stay in control of eating.Tips for saving money at the grocery store.Reading and understanding food labels more clearly.And, foods which should be included for a healthier diet.Many people already know they need to eat better, but somehow putting all of that head knowledge into action can be a challenge. For this reason, I've included a Workbook with the package, as a way to 'cement' the tips and advice in the book, and make it come together in everyday life.
The Handbook comes with some free bonuses, too, including a Home Workout Program, complete with instructional images and descriptions on how to perform each of the exercises.
I've also included extra resources like the Recipe Book, Menu Planner, and my Frequently Asked Questions, amongst other things.
Basically, with this book you get all the tools you need to start living a healthier lifestyle.

Cycling Impacts Sperm Count
Bike riding may be fun, but a new study claims regular cycling may negatively impact sperm; resulting in lower sperm counts.
Researchers did not expect to find an association between sperm quality and moderate physical activity, but previous studies have suggested pro-athletes may have issues with their sperm.
For the new study, scientists examined the link between exercising and sperm health in "average" men.
Published in the journal Fertility and Sterility, results showed more than 31% of men who biked for at least five hours each week had low sperm counts, compared to 23% of men who did not get regular exercise. Study participants provided a sperm sample and answered questions about their health.
Among the frequent bikers, 40% had low sperm count with good motility, only 27% of men who didn't exercise suffered from the same condition. The scientists suspect trauma or temperature caused by bike riding may be responsible for the negative impact on sperm health.
The researchers say more studies need to be conducted because the participants were all attending a fertility clinic; meaning they may have preexisting sperm problems.
The Mayo Clinic suggests taking a multivitamin, eating fruits and vegetables, managing stress, watching your weight, and exercising, to help produce healthy sperm and improve fertility.

Sitting For Too Long Is Bad For Health
If you sit at a desk most of the day, you probably have some idea that it's not good for your weight or health.
A new study, published online in the European Heart Journal, has found that people who sit for extended periods of time without taking short breaks, are at higher risk for heart disease, compared to those who take more frequent breaks to stand up and walk around.
Surprisingly, the researchers found that even if you go the the gym regularly, the negative impact of long bouts of inactivity also seem to apply.
Genevieve Healy, of the Cancer Prevention Research Centre, University of Queensland, Australia, said:
Even if you exercise for 30 to 60 minutes a day, what you do for the rest of the day may also be important for your cardiovascular health... This research suggests that even small changes to a person's activity levels [as little as standing up regularly] might help to lower cardiovascular risk. These changes can be readily incorporated into the person's day-to-day life [including the work environment]. Stand up, move more, more often, could be used as a slogan to help get this message across.The researchers used data from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which included about 4,800 American men and women, aged 20 and up.Participants were fitted with a accelerometer on their hip, to monitor a week's worth of walking, running and sitting routines. Researchers also looked at measurements, including waist circumference, blood pressure and cholesterol levels.At the extremes, the most sedentary participants were found to sit a little more than 21 hours per day, while the least sedentary sat just under two hours per day. The fewest activity breaks taken over the course of a full week amounted to less than 100, while the most weekly breaks registered at nearly 1,300.Triglyceride levels were significantly higher among the most sedentary, as were signs of insulin resistance.Overall, those who took the most breaks from sitting (even if they spent a great deal of time being sedentary) were found to have the smallest waists.Getting up and taking a walk across the room may seem pointless, but it seems that short activity breaks just like that, are extremely beneficial to health.
So, what can you do to be more active throughout the day?
Stand while on the telephone, or in a meeting.Walk over to see your colleagues face-to-face, rather than emailing, or calling them.Use the stairs when possible to access the restrooms, for example.Basically, be more active wherever you possibly can.And, here is another option...

Dieting While Pregnant May Harm Your Baby
A new study, carried out on baboons, suggests that dieting in the first half of pregnancy will damage the development of the baby's brain.
The researchers found that when pregnant baboons were following a moderately calorie-restricted diet, the brain development of their foetus was affected.
Scientists believe this may have implications for human pregnancy too; dieting while pregnant could lower your child's IQ.
The study, led by Dr Peter Nathanielsz and Dr Thomas McDonald, was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (not currently available online).
The baboons were divided into two groups:
One group ate as much as they wanted during the first half of pregnancy while the other group was fed 30 percent less, a level of nutrition similar to what many prospective mothers experience, especially if they have morning sickness.
The unborn babies in the group of "dieting" baboons had slower cell division, and fewer connections formed between neurons.
The scientists raised particular concerns about two vulnerable groups: teen mothers, whose growing bodies mean they need more nutrients for themselves, and older mothers, who have stiffer arteries which reduce the flow of blood (and therefore nutrients) into the womb.
Other experts have agreed that dieting is a bad idea in pregnancy, but have suggested that the risks may not be so great as the scientists fear. Dr Patrick O'Brien, from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, was quoted in the Daily Mail saying:
All the studies in humans have not suggested that moderate dieting in the first half of pregnancy causes any problems. Our guidance is unchanged - that pregnant women should eat a healthy mixed diet and should avoid dieting, but also avoid "eating for two".
If you're pregnant, or thinking about becoming pregnant:
Aim to be at a healthy weight before conceiving. (This can also boost your chances of getting pregnant.)Talk to your doctor about your diet. Don't try to diet during pregnancy unless you're doing so because of medical advice.Image credit: greensuitcase
McDonald's Employee Fired For Letting Adrian Peterson Pee
I would have fired her for being a Vikings fan, plus letting some dude use the bathroom late at night.
But despite her poor choice of football teams, an assistant manager at McDonald's was only fired for letting Minnesota Vikings "star," running back Adrian Peterson, use the restroom after hours.
Here's the problem. It was 3 a.m. and only the drive-thru was open, the rest of the "restaurant" was closed. So by letting AP go pee-pee she broke the rules. Its clear cut to me.
It was early-early morning, and the employee noticed a man standing outside the drive-thru window, asking to come inside. When she realized it Adrian Peterson, she opened the doors to let AP tinkle.
A week later, McDonald's dropped the hammer and fired her. In an interview the ex-employee pleaded her case: "He's a public figure... I know him better than some of the maintenance people that come in and out," she said, "I never thought in a million years that that decision was going to cost me my career."
Sorry, you screwed up. I understand AP is a local hero, but she blew it. If store policy is to lock the doors at night, she broke the rules, and as an assistant manager she should know better.
What if some gun-wielding maniac rushed in as she opened the door, then McDonald's would be facing a lawsuit, not just some bad PR for firing this mother of three.
That's why I belong to the Raider Nation. My boys don't need a toilet at 3 a.m. They just pass out in the parking lot of the bar, and let nature take its course.
