| A Doctor’s Secret Formula For Weight Gain. You Too Can Be 20, 40, Even 60 Pounds Or More Overweight! | | 2008-07-20 06:26:05 | | Sometimes we find it hard to gain all the weight we would like. Our love handles are not quite big enough. We have two or three chins but would like more. We love the way our arms jiggle and we can’t get enough of it.It can be frustrating. You would probably like to be fatter and can’t seem to manage it. But by following these secrets you can start packing on the pounds. It’s not as hard as you might think.1. Skip breakfast. This is a good one. Just don’t eat when you get up. This will let you get off to a sluggish day. With any luck you can just drag yourself around the whole day at half speed. This is good for 10 pounds at least.2. Never drink any water. That way your body won’t work efficiently, and it will help so you don’t get good blood flow to your muscles. And you won’t get rid of any toxic wastes that might build up, so your metabolism will stay slow. And make sure that you have some sugar in anything you drink. Sodas are good, especially if they have caffeine, b | | By: tips n trick diets success | | |

| Lose Weight To Gain Confidence And Self Esteem | | 2008-07-13 01:43:04 | | To lose weight is simple. Yes, you heard it right, it is simple. All it requires is your commitment and dedicated discipline.NUTRITION - Physiologically, you have to burn 7000 calories to lose 1 kg or 2.2 pounds. You can lose those weight through a combination of decreasing caloric intake to a healthy level and expending calories through physical activities such as taking up an exercise program.For example, let's say you are consuming 2,000 calories a day, when you decrease caloric consumption by 300 calories (a small cheese burger) and burn another 200 calories through exercise a day (25 minute jog), you would be at a 500 caloric deficit.So, just by eating 300 less calories a day and expending 200 calories a day through physical activities will result in a net of half kg lost per week. You are then losing a slightly more than a pound of fat per week. This can be done too by eating food that you enjoy! Simple as promised isn't it?Do eat six small meals a day.

| Weight Gain and Weight Loss – the Psychological Ramifications | | 2008-05-20 20:37:59 | | With roughly the same amount of food being available to all of us in our society, why do some people end up with weight problems while others don’t? And moreover, why are some of us able to lose weight and change our lifestyle relatively easily, while others hold onto their excess weight? There are about three different answers to those questions. The first is physical – some of us have a faster metabolism than others. We just burn calories faster, so any weight that we do gain is quickly lost. The second answer is behavioral – this refers to the habits we have picked up over the years. If we have bad eating habits, they can be changed, but until they are, we are likely stuck with any weight that we do gain.The third variable is psychological, and it may even be the most powerful determinant for who will be able to lose weight and who won’t. Many of us have a psychological basis for our weight gain or weight loss. Until the psychological issues are dealt with, weight loss may w | | By: tips n trick diets success | | |

| Weight Gain In Adulthood - Slowing It Down | | 2008-05-06 22:41:15 | | The biggest problem we face in America today is not terrorism – it is obesity. This is according to Dr. Julie Gerberding, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in America. And it seems much of this problem is happening in a slow and creeping way, through gradual young and middle-aged adult weight gain, over very long periods of time.On the average, a typical American adult gains at least two pounds per year over his or her lifetime. That probably means that approximately 100 extra calories are being consumed each day, according to Dr. James Hill of the University of Colorado’s nutrition center. If you simply burn off those 100 extra calories, or don’t consume them to begin with, you will then not gain that yearly extra weight.Dr. Gerberding says that fixing the problem will involve changing most Americans’ daily social norms. This will have to start in our early childhood, she says. People will have to begin performing more physical activity and eating less eve | | By: tips n trick diets success | | |

| Quit Smoking = Weight Gain | | 2008-04-21 10:27:00 | | Alright, so today I try yet again to quit smoking. No biggie - not worth mentioning - except…
The question always looms as to whether or not I will gain weight. I have quit before, although only for a few days at a time, and have felt like I was eating more, but for the most part you don’t gain weight because of what you eat after you quit smoking, you are gaining weight because your metabolism is actually slowing down… yeah, like I need THAT to happen.
Did you know that smoking cuts 200 calories per day in a heavy smoker? Well apparently I wasn’t smoking enough to really reap the benefits of that one. Did you also know that Nicotine is an appetite suppressant? No way - really? Um, then why didn’t it suppress the 3 chocolate chip cookies I had last night? Also, smoking boosts your metabolism. Up, not seeing much of a difference in that one either.

| Medical Causes of Weight Gain | | 2008-04-10 05:05:00 | | Becoming obese and becoming overweight is becoming more and more widespread in the world. Majority of the people are gaining weight and they are also losing their ideal weight. In fact, if you are over 20% of your ideal body weight, then you may be considered obese.

| How To Avoid Weight Gain When You Quit Smoking | | 2008-03-17 01:41:00 | | Oftentimes when women are considering quitting smoking, they are most concerned about the possibility of weight gain. Interesting enough a small weight gain (about 3-5 pounds) is what you should expect when you quit smoking. The truth is that 25% of women experience a weight gain and actually only 3% gain 15 pounds or more. Usually the larger weight gain is associated with heavy smokers which is a pack or more of cigarettes per day. The weight gain is the largest contributing factor as to "WHY" women resume smoking again after they have successfully quit for several months. It is also true that women generally resume smoking more often than men.Why do women gain weight when they quit smoking? The reason is fairly simple. Cigarettes have a slightly increased metabolism associated with smoking. That increase in a heavy smoking can actually burn up to 200 calories a day.

| Eat whole grains to prevent weight gain | | 2007-09-28 14:43:32 | | A recent study reported on in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that individuals who eat more whole grains are less likely to become overweight or obese than those who don't.The Holland researchers are quick to point out that their study was not designed to show a cause and effect relationship between whole grain consumption and the probability of becoming overweight, but there does seem to be an association between the two.Certainly more studies are needed to confirm this relationship, however this study adds to the growing body of evidence suggesting that whole grain consumption influences a person's propensity to become overweight.You can read more about the study and its findings here. | | By: Sue's Healthy News Blog | | |

| What to do to prevent weight re-gain | | 2007-08-22 14:37:05 | | You've worked hard to get those pounds off. You should be proud of yourself.Did you realize, though, that you are not done?Sadly, too often people who have lost weight think their success means they can go back to their old eating habits. Trouble is the weight comes right back on. Don't believe me? Ask anyone who has tried the Atkins diet and then started eating carbs again.What to do? Researchers with the National Health and Examination Survey (NHANES) recently completed a study in which they investigated the factors which affect weight re-gain in people who have lost a substantial amount of weight. (Results were published 6/12 online with the print article due to appear in the July issue of American Journal of Preventative Medicine.) The findings were interesting.All of the 1310 US adult study subjects were individuals initially considered overweight or obese but who lost at least 10% of their body weight. This amount of weight loss can result in substantial health benefits, such as reduced risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.Results showed that weight re-gain was associated with a sedentary lifestyle, i.e., those who had greater "couch potato-like" habits, losing a greater percentage of initial weight, shorter time to lose weight, attempts to "control' weight, and not meeting the recommendations for physical activity.Due to the type of study design used in this work, it is not fair to say that these factors cause individuals to re-gain weight. What one can say is that these factors are associated with failure to maintain weight loss.If you are interested in this topic, and excellent book to read is Anne Fletcher's Thin for Life. She interviewed people who have lost weight and kept it off, and shares their stories of why they were so successful. In addition to an active lifestyle, those who maintained their weight loss also kept careful track of their weight.
