Health Notes: Stick with the corn plasters to cure your feet. Study found when using corn plasters, 3. In group given the scalpel treatment, only 2. By. Sarah Hartley. Published. 2. 2: 0. BST, 8 February 2. ![]() While not ugly enough to see you take part in the television show Embarrassing Bodies, these small areas of inflamed, hardened skin are painful and unsightly. Corn plasters that use salicylic acid to remove the skin have traditionally been regarded as a temporary solution, with a visit to the podiatrist for removal with a scalpel as the most effective. However, new research - the first large- scale study of the effectiveness of salicylic acid plasters on corns compared with scalpel treatment - found in favour of the high street fix. The skin thickens to protect itself but reaches a point where it cannot continue to grow outwards, as there is either body weight or pressure from the shoe which causes the thickened skin to develop a deeper plug of callus which is painful. In the group given the scalpel treatment, only 2. Furthermore, corns had reduced in size in 8. ![]() The study concluded that the use of corn plasters, under podiatry supervision, resulted in a prolonged time before any new corn appeared, less pain and reduced corn size over the first six months in comparison with scalpel treatment. The researchers used Carnation Corn Caps, which deliver a dose of salicylic acid from a soft felt ring. Despite the results, Ms Jones offered a word of caution. Podiatrists can remove corns simply, effectively and provide advice on why the corn has occurred in the first place.'See chiswickfeet. Carnation Corn Caps (.

Scientists at Harvard University looked at findings from a long- term Japanese study examining workers' productivity and found they accomplished more when the weather was wet. Productivity was lowest when it was sunny - as workers were distracted by thinking about what they could be doing instead. It could be good news for British business after the wettest January on record.. Food and drink tastes sweeter when we are in love. Food of love tastes sweeter.

To make sure your pet is happy and.If you're dining out for Valentine's Day you can cut down on sugar - food and drink tastes sweeter when we are in love, says new research. A study at the University of Singapore asked participants to write either about times they felt romantic love or about city landmarks, then gave them a sweet and bitter chocolate and asked them to rate the taste. Those who had been feeling love rated the sweets as significantly sweeter. The experiment was repeated with writing about happy events or romantic events. Again, those induced to feel love rated a drink they received afterwards as sweeter. One theory is that the same brain region is activated by seeing your romantic partner and tasting sugar. The London Marathon is now just two months away, but for Heart Radio's Jenni Falconer it's been a long time coming.

Genetically modified food controversies are disputes over the use of foods and other goods derived from genetically modified crops instead of conventional crops, and other uses of genetic engineering in food production. The dispute involves consumers, farmers, biotechnology companies, governmental regulators, non- governmental organizations, and scientists. The key areas of controversy related to genetically modified food (GM food or GMO food) are whether such food should be labeled, the role of government regulators, the objectivity of scientific research and publication, the effect of genetically modified crops on health and the environment, the effect on pesticide resistance, the impact of such crops for farmers, and the role of the crops in feeding the world population. In addition, products derived from GMO organisms play a role in the production of ethanol fuels and pharmaceuticals. Specific concerns include mixing of genetically modified and non- genetically modified products in the food supply. Upton Sinclair's novel The Jungle led to the 1. Pure Food and Drug Act, the first major US legislation on the subject. The public came to see the latter as . Oz, Oprah, and Bill Maher. In 2. 00. 1 no such foods had been designated as unacceptable by Orthodox rabbis or Muslim leaders. Other groups such as GMWatch and The Institute of Science in Society concentrate mostly or solely on opposing genetically modified crops. The idea has since been adopted to varying degrees by companies like Syngenta. Instead, PABE found that public had ? Who benefits from their use? Who decided that they should be developed and how? Why were we not better informed about their use in our food, before their arrival on the market? Why are we not given an effective choice about whether or not to buy these products? Have potential long- term and irreversible consequences been seriously evaluated, and by whom? Do regulatory authorities have sufficient powers to effectively regulate large companies? Who wishes to develop these products? Can controls imposed by regulatory authorities be applied effectively? Who will be accountable in cases of unforeseen harm? Rather than zero risk, what they demanded was a more realistic assessment of risks by regulatory authorities and GMO producers. During this period protests against Calgene's Flavr Savr GM tomato mistakenly described it as containing fish genes, confusing it with DNA Plant Technology's fish tomato experimental transgenic organism, which was never commercialized. Advocates support mandatory labeling laws for food made from GMOs . The number of protesters who took part is uncertain; figures of . Events took place in between 3. The protests were reported by news outlets including ABC News. This was followed by the spraying of a crop of potato seedlings. The sentencing judge accused Greenpeace of cynically using junior members to avoid risking their own freedom. The offenders were given 9- month suspended sentences. Heckler. In 1. 98. P. Shalala. In this case, the plaintiff argued both for mandatory labeling on the basis of consumer demand, and that GMO foods should undergo the same testing requirements as food additives because they are . The plaintiff also alleged that the FDA did not follow the Administrative Procedures Act in formulating and disseminating its policy on GMO's. The federal district court rejected all of those arguments and found that the FDA's determination that GMO's are Generally Recognized as Safe was neither arbitrary nor capricious. The court gave deference to the FDA's process on all issues, leaving future plaintiffs little legal recourse to challenge the FDA's policy on GMO's. The paper produced a public uproar and demonstrations, however by 2. Cornell University's Elson Shields was the spokesperson for one group of scientists who opposed such restrictions. The group submitted a statement to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2. While favoring protection of intellectual property rights, the editors called for the restrictions to be lifted and for the EPA to require, as a condition of approval, that independent researchers have unfettered access to genetically modified products for research. This agreement left many scientists optimistic about the future. They found that financial conflict of interest was not associated with study outcome (p = 0. Of the 4. 3 studies with financial or professional conflicts of interest, 2. According to Marc Brazeau, an association between professional conflict of interest and positive study outcomes can be skewed because companies typically contract with independent researchers to perform follow- up studies only after in- house research uncovers favorable results. In- house research that uncovers negative or unfavorable results for a novel GMO is generally not further pursued. Most studies were performed years after the approval of the crop for human consumption. Papers were often imprecise in their descriptions of the histological results and the selection of study endpoints, and lacked necessary details about methods and results. The authors called for the development of better study guidelines for determining the long- term safety of eating GM foods. They concluded that GM crops had given farmers economic advantages but found no evidence that GM crops had increased yields. They also noted that weed resistance to GM crops could cause major agricultural problems but this could be addressed by better farming procedures. The leader of the research group, Federico Infascelli, rejected the claim. The research concluded that mother goats fed GM soybean meal secreted fragments of the foreign gene in their milk. In December 2. 01. However, in 2. 01. European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) GMO Panel said that . Countries differ in their risk assessments and regulations. Marked differences distinguish the US from Europe. Crops not intended as foods are generally not reviewed for food safety. National Academy of Sciences, the British Royal Society, and every other respected organization that has examined the evidence has come to the same conclusion: consuming foods containing ingredients derived from GM crops is no riskier than consuming the same foods containing ingredients from crop plants modified by conventional plant improvement techniques. They suggested that GM foods have extensive biological, toxicological and immunological tests and that substantial equivalence should be abandoned. He claimed that characterizing differences is properly a starting point for a safety assessment. Kuiper noted practical difficulties in applying this standard, including the fact that traditional foods contain many toxic or carcinogenic chemicals and that existing diets were never proven to be safe. This lack of knowledge re conventional food means that modified foods may differ in anti- nutrients and natural toxins that have never been identified in the original plant, possibly allowing harmful changes to be missed. For example, corn damaged by insects often contains high levels of fumonisins, carcinogenic toxins made by fungi that travel on insects' backs and that grow in the wounds of damaged corn. Studies show that most Bt corn has lower levels of fumonisins than conventional insect- damaged corn. The FDA found that all of the 1. Japanese regulators for 1. This equivalence was confirmed by more than 8. Hence, the authors argue, compositional equivalence studies uniquely required for GM food crops may no longer be justified on the basis of scientific uncertainty. Allergen testing is routine for products intended for food, and passing those tests is part of the regulatory requirements. Organizations such as the European Green Party and Greenpeace emphasize this risk. Genetic engineering can have less impact on the expression of genomes or on protein and metabolite levels than conventional breeding or (non- directed) plant mutagenesis. For example, the kiwi fruit was introduced into the U. S. In the early 1. Pioneer Hi- Bred attempted to improve the nutrition content of soybeans intended for animal feed by adding a gene from the Brazil nut. Because they knew that people have allergies to nuts, Pioneer ran in vitro and skin prick allergy tests. The tests showed that the transgenic soy was allergenic. These cases have been used as evidence that genetic modification can produce unexpected and dangerous changes in foods, and as evidence that safety tests effectively protect the food supply. It was also found in Japan and South Korea. As of 2. 01. 2 it was the only human feeding study to have been conducted with GM food. The transgene was detected in three volunteers from a group of seven who had previously had their large intestines removed for medical reasons. As this gene transfer did not increase after the consumption of the modified soy, the researchers concluded that gene transfer did not occur. In volunteers with intact digestive tracts, the transgene did not survive. A 2. 01. 4 review found that the performance of animals fed GM feed was similar to that of animals fed . The review concluded that . The review also stated that its conclusions were in agreement with three earlier reviews. Domingo and Bordonaba reviewed the literature again in 2. The General Accounting Office (in a review of FDA procedures requested by Congress) and a working group of the Food and Agricultural and World Health organizations both said that long- term human studies of the effect of GM food are not feasible. The reasons included lack of a plausible hypothesis to test, lack of knowledge about the potential long- term effects of conventional foods, variability in the ways humans react to foods and that epidemiological studies were unlikely to differentiate modified from conventional foods, which come with their own suite of unhealthy characteristics. ![]() ![]() Escape from Obesity: Medifast Foods: Tips and Recipes.

No one likes lumps in their drink! To get a smooth, creamy texture, put the powder into a large mug. Measure one cup of cold water and pour in *just enough* water to make a smooth paste (3 Tablespoons or so). Use a fork or a mini- whisk to get it smooth. Then boil the rest of the water (microwave or mini water boiler) and add slowly while stirring. No lumps! I like to make the Hot Cocoa with coffee instead of water to create a mocha. You can also add 1 Tbsp of any sugar free syrup (caramel, hazelnut, raspberry, etc) OR a few drops of any extract (peppermint, orange, coconut) OR a few shakes of cinnamon (mixed in with the powder) to make a flavored Hot Cocoa or Mocha. In the summer I pour the mochas over a big cup of ice cubes for a Starbucks style iced mocha. LOVE it! I also like to make a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Hot Cocoa. Just mix 1 Tbsp of powdered PB2 into the cocoa powder before mixing and making into hot cocoa. Excellent! You can also make any of the hot drinks into a shake by putting the powder in the blender with 1 cup of cold water and a handful or two of ice. Hot Cocoa also makes great frozen truffles. Just put the powder in a bowl, add 3 Tbsp of water (or you can use 2. T water and 1. T any flavor sugar free syrup), mix until smooth and drop by teaspoons onto waxed paper on a plate. Freeze until firm (at least an hour). These are amazing if you also add 1 Tbsp peanut butter (optional snack) OR 1 Tbsp cream cheese (healthy fat). Chai makes decent truffles as well, same method. Cold Drinks: The most common issue with the Cranberry Mango drink and the Tropical Punch is: too sweet, too strong. I personally like them both over ice, or made in the blender with water and ice to create a slushie. Try adding extra water until they suit your taste. You can also freeze them to make popsicles out of them. If you blend a Cranberry Mango drink with 1/2 cup water and 8- 1. Mountain Dew with some ice cubes, it is really good! And I don't usually like Mountain Dew at all. Puddings: The puddings are one of my favorite Medifast foods because they are so versatile! You can make a lot of different things with them! As pudding: The puddings can be lumpy if you don't blend them well. They set up faster if you use very cold water. You can also add flavorings to the puddings, like sugar free syrups or spices. For custard: add 1 beaten egg white or 2- 3 Tbsp Egg Beaters to the cold pudding and then microwave it in a large bowl in 3. I love the chocolate pudding this way; reminds me of cooked Jello pudding. For the BEST shakes: use 1 packet of pudding + 1 cup of water + 1/2 cup of small ice cubes. Rich and creamy and once again, you can add flavors. I like coffee in my chocolate shakes. Banana pudding makes a delicious shake, and it is great with PB2 added if you like peanut butter and banana. For a . I blend everything with a half can of soda first and then when it is smooth, add the rest and blend. The chocolate + root beer tastes like a Tootsie Roll to me, and the vanilla + root beer tastes like a root beer float. The vanilla is also good with a diet orange soda (tastes like creamsicle!)You can also make soft serve ice cream with the puddings, similar to a Wendy's Frosty. Just put 1/2 cup cold water + 1 packet pudding + 1 cup small ice cubes in a mini blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Great stuff as is, or you can add flavorings, coffee, peanut butter, or cream cheese. My favorite is the peanut butter (1 Tbsp) but I don't do it too often. Packs in too many calories. I sometimes add 1 tsp plain unsweetened cocoa for a dark chocolate effect. I am not a huge fan of vanilla pudding, but it can be made into shakes and frosties and then you can add flavors, like sugar free syrups, Walden Farms strawberry jelly, or a spoonful of Matcha powder for a green tea shake. My favorite is the French Toast shake. You can make a totally simple, on plan meal that is the same size as a regular candy bar and, if you use chocolate pudding, looks much like a Crunch bar. This recipe uses no additional condiments so it is a real winner! Mix up one packet of pudding according to package directions. Place one Medifast Crunch bar in a bowl and microwave it for 1. Smoosh up the crunch bar with a spatula or spoon and then stir in the pudding. Mix and smoosh well until it is all incorporated. Spread this mixture into a container the size of two candy bars, or two smaller containers. I line my glass pan with wax paper. Spread it out and freeze for 2 hours. Remove from container and if you used one larger container, cut the big bar in half and wrap one for later use (keep frozen). This makes 2 Medifast meals and they keep well in the freezer and are even better after freezing overnight! The flavor combinations are endless. For a Crunch bar flavor I use a caramel crunch bar and a chocolate pudding. Some other yummy combinations: chocolate pudding + peanut butter barchocolate pudding + mint chocolate barbanana pudding + peanut butter barvanilla pudding + lemon meringue bar + 1/2 (or more) of a Medifast strawberry lemonade calorieburn infuser packet = strawberry lemonade calorieburn bar! So good. Try different combinations and enjoy! Soft Serve: I tried making it with crushed ice. I tried using a snow cone maker and then adding the mix. I just never liked the texture. And when you freeze it to make it harder, it gets solid as a rock. Give it a shot with crushed or shaved ice. A lot of people do like it that way. But I finally got awesome, creamy, real ice cream- like results when I started using a Mini Ice Cream Maker. It's tiny and makes single serve portions of ice cream or frozen yogurt, so I just mixed my Medifast Soft Serve packet with 3/4 cup of cold water and put it in the fridge to chill for a half hour or so, then poured it into the ice cream maker, turned it on and had ice cream in under 1. I eat it right out of the little frozen bowl it's made in, so it stays cold and doesn't melt as I eat it. Be sure the lid is seated properly and then press down on it every so often so that you don't have this issue. I also like to make the Soft Serve into a shake. Just add about 3/4- 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of ice in the blender. Pretty good shakes. You can also make cookies out of the soft serve. I found this recipe on the Medifast forums. They are pretty good and filling; they turn out flat and wrinkly and soft/chewy. When I first tried one warm I thought, ? I thought they were fantastic! So I highly recommend freezing these. Soft Serve Cookies. In a bowl, combine 1 packet of Soft Serve (I used chocolate mint), 1/2 tsp baking powder, 2 Tbsp Egg Beaters, and 3 Tbsp water. Mix well and drop onto parchment paper to make 7 cookies. Bake at 3. 50 degrees for 1. Cool (and freeze if you can!)Soups and Chili: ALL of the soups benefit from . The cream soups can be fine with a short soak, but unless you want to break a tooth on a bean or pea you ought to soak the chili, chicken noodle soup, and wild rice soup for a few hours. You can add the boiling water and then put the soup in a thermos for later. You can add the water the night before and keep it in the fridge overnight, and reheat when ready to eat. But please soak the soups. They are so much better. Flavor can be brightened by using low sodium broth instead of water when making the soups. You can add black pepper, hot sauce, onion powder, etc, but remember to count the condiments. Also, you can add veggies to your soups but remember to subtract them from your Lean and Green. So, if you use a half cup of veggies in your soup, remember you only have 2 veggie servings left for dinner. You can add some of your Lean to a soup as well, such as cubed chicken, but remember to subtract it from your dinner later. Cream of Chicken is excellent with some fresh spinach added, or some chopped cooked mushrooms for a . It's also great with a bit of curry powder added. ![]() Crazy Ways to Burn Fat While You Sleep! The most aggravating part is that rebound effect. Sure, you lose weight ! It seems obvious that, if you take in fewer calories, you’ll shed the pounds. To some degree, that’s true, but it isn’t the whole story. In fact, it’s probably not even half of it. The primary problem is that, even if the weight is lost, it does no good if it returns. The answer is really quite simple. You know that initial early rapid weight loss? The part that makes a new diet seem so great? Most of that isn’t actually fat. Then, if you restrict the calories too much, which is what most rapid- loss diets demand, your body’s metabolic rate slows down. Part of that slowing is done by cannibalizing your own muscle tissue. What’s worse, that slow- down can become permanent! The result is that well- known rebound effect, of course, but also the much worse problem of a near- permanent change in your body’s caloric need. First, forget about those super- duper quick weight loss diets. ![]() They simply don’t work, and though experience has likely told you that fact, now you know why. So you need to increase your muscle mass. That, of course, means that you should exercise. There are two main types: aerobic, which increases your metabolism, and resistance, which builds muscle mass. Aerobic exercise improves your overall health, but to lose weight, you need to increase muscle mass, and that requires resistance exercising. Any exercise that increases your strength will also increase muscle mass. Therefore, any exercise that involves working against gravity, such as push ups, will also work. Instead of focusing on calories, focus on types of food. You need protein- rich food, and, contrary to what you’re generally told, you also need fats—lots of fats. Of course, they need the right kinds of fats—but they aren’t what mainstream medicine wants you to believe. The myth that saturated fat is bad comes from junk science that confuses trans fats, which are artificially saturated, with naturally saturated fats, like in butter and meat. They replace naturally saturated fat in the body. Half of all cell membranes consist of saturated fats, and trans fats can destabilize them, resulting in nutrition being unable to enter cells and toxins being unable to leave. Obviously, if you want to increase muscle mass, you need saturated fats. ![]() It’s easy to get enough omega- 6 fat, but the problem is that nearly everyone eats far too much, because it’s the sort that’s routinely used in fast and prepared foods. It is nearly always hydrogenated, which makes it shelf- stable in supermarkets, but also makes it extremely unhealthy. ![]() If you eat a diet that avoids processed foods of all kinds, whether from supermarkets or fast food joints, you’ll get all the omega- 6 fats you need in your diet. Omega- 3 fats are found in high concentrations in fish, nuts, and oils made from nuts. This isn’t the whole story about weight loss, but it’s the background for the fun part of this article: 3 crazy ways to burn fat while you sleep. Drink Green Tea or Coffee. As explained earlier, increasing your metabolism burns calories. Both green tea and coffee do just that. However, simply chugging either one on a single occasion during the day doesn’t do the trick. You need to sip your coffee or tea a few times during the day, perhaps on 3 or 4 occasions. That increases your metabolic rate, and the increase continues through the night. So coffee and green tea can help you burn calories, both day and night! Have a Smoothie with Protein. Protein is, of course, important in a weight- loss diet. So adding it to a smoothie helps lose weight, especially if you have it fairly late in the day, as documented by at least one scientific study. That extra muscle mass will definitely help you lose weight! Eat Pepper. The spiciest way to lose weight while you sleep is just that — hot peppers and even black pepper! Scientific studies have shown again and again that one of the most effective ways to burn fat is to eat peppers. So bring on that spicy Mexican, Chinese, and African food! That Sounds Like Crazy Talk. Dieting has become big business—and no wonder! Calorie- restricted diets are nearly guaranteed to assure repeat business. They give the impression of working because you really can lose weight on them, at least for a while. But ultimately, you end up gaining it. Forget about calories and focus on nutrient- dense foods full of protein and good quality fats. You may also want to try supplementation. Be careful; there are a lot of falsely marketed weight loss formulas on the market. Only buy from a trusted, reputable company. If you want an all- natural blend of potent metabolism- boosting herbs, I recommend Slimirex. When combined with a healthy lifestyle including diet and exercise, Slimirex can help boost your metabolism and control cravings. The Two Main Types of Exercise. The Definitive Guide to Fats.

Let me explain this a little further by telling you a bit of Biology. For those of us who did “sciences” in secondary school, you will be familiar with this when I am done. The human body was designed by God to respond to stimulus. When a mosquito stings you, or a sharp needle goes through your skin, your body’s sensory receptor, sends amessage to your brain that something dangerous is going through your skin, and then your brain tells itself that there is pain. That is when you quickly feel a sharp sting and REACT to that pain. It’s the same thing with FEAR. Have you noticed that when you face FEAR (it could be fear of anything?

Meanwhile, carb- loading became a religion to endurance athletes hoping to avoid the feared hitting- of- the- wall. Then, trends began to change. The common criticism of the Atkins diet was debunked: Popular science suggested that a low- carb diet that's high in fat diet actually improved HDL, or “good” cholesterol, and didn’t worsen LDL, or “bad” cholesterol. And in the '8. 0s, Stephen Phinney—a MIT medical researcher—noticed that the carb- loading math just didn’t add up. Our bodies only have a limited store of glycogen, or the fuel in your muscles, about 2,5. But our bodies have about 5. Phinney wondered if athletes could train their bodies to burn fat instead of carbs. Your body naturally burns carbs to keep your muscles moving—and carbs are the quickest form of fuel to convert into energy. But “think of glycogen as the gas in the tank of the car,” says Pam Bede, R. D., sports dietitian for Abbott’s EAS Sports Nutrition. ![]() ![]() When that gas is low, you need to refuel, which is where gels and GUs come in. If your body could burn fat, Phinney thought, you could go a heck of a lot longer before refueling. ![]() ![]() While plenty of studies show that a LCHF diet results in lower peak power and VO2 max—meaning it more or less makes you slower—he found that cyclists indeed performed just as well on a two and a half hour ride when they ate a diet low in carbs and high in fat as when they ate their traditional training diet. With an ideal meal plan, you’re taking in roughly 5. Bede. Phinney’s model was imperfect: When he tested cyclist’s sprinting capabilities on the LCHF diet, he noticed fat- fueled athletes clocked in at a slower time than normal. Fast forward some 4. Simon Whitfield and Ben Greenfield have renounced the church of carbs in favor of a high- fat diet instead. A favorite among celebrities and pro athletes, the LCHF diet claims to speed weight loss and boost energy. But what does the science say about eating plans like the. Kim Kardashian famously followed the Atkins diet to shed her baby weight. Melissa Mc. Carthy attributed her impressive 4. And, furthermore, is it healthy? ![]() Can It Improve Your Fitness? The effect of a low- carb, high- fat diet on athletic performance has only been looked at in a handful of studies since Phinney’s original experiment. And when it comes to high speeds, Bede says it makes sense why LCHF would slow you down: “Carbs are a fairly efficient way to burn fuel, so if you’re running at high speeds and need that energy immediately, carbohydrates are going to be a better source of fuel,” Bede explains. Because it takes longer for your body to access the energy in fat, you won't be able to perform as quickly. If you’re focused on distance and not speed, though, don’t write off LCHF so soon. It actually helps with that moment every runner dreads: hitting the wall. It can help delay that significant onset of fatigue, which is favorable because it enables an athlete to rely less on carbohydrate gels or fluid carbohydrates—and to go faster for longer,” says Georgie Fear, R. D., author of Lean Habits For Lifelong Weight Loss. Another added bonus: You’ll avoid the all- too- common side effect of gastric distress from race gels and GUs. ![]() Avoid these 2. 0 Foods that Can Ruin Your Workout too.)But like much of the LCHF research, the scientific evidence is mixed—it’s still a vastly under- researched area. The most promising study to date is expected to come out later this year from Jeff Volek, Ph. D., R. D., at the Ohio State University, the second most prolific researcher on the topic next to Phinney. Beyond the research, there’s also a growing wave of triathletes and ultra- runners who attribute their success to jumping on the fat- fueling bandwagon. Fitness coach Ben Greenfield finished the 2. Ironman Canada in under 1. Timothy Olson set a record for fastest completion of the Western States 1. LCHF diet. Until you begin a low- carb high- fat diet plan, try these 6 Foods to Fix Your Mood.)Whether or not it improves performance, teaching your body to pull from your fat reserves—which you can do by simply switching to the diet—does offer better blood sugar stability, Fear adds. This helps prevent hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar (which is the reason Hyvon Ngetich collapsed and had to—now famously—crawl across the finish at this year’s Austin Marathon). LCHF also helped strength athletes lose fat without compromising their strength or power, found a new study in Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews. That means that while people may not have seen performance gains, performance didn’t suffer—plus they lost weight, Bede explains. But Can the Atkins Diet Really Help You Lose Weight? While the now- popular weight loss angle has gotten slightly more scientific attention thanks to interested nutrition researchers, there is yet to be overwhelming evidence in either direction. But most of the limited research on weight loss and the low- carb high- fat diet has been in favor of it. In theory, it makes sense that you’d lose weight: “Carbohydrates attract water, so part of the initial weight loss is shedding of water stores,” says Bede. While it does have more calories per gram than a carbohydrate, you can only eat so much before you are full—similar to protein.” With carbs, you can finish that whole bag of pretzels without meaning to. If you’re avoiding refined carbs, you’re also avoiding the cravings for more unhealthy foods that research has shown they cause. A study last year in the Annals of Internal Medicine made one of the most convincing cases yet: Researchers found that men and women who switched to a low- carb diet lost 1. The high- fat group also maintained more muscle, trimmed more body fat, and increased their protein intake more than their carb- heavy counterparts. These results are promising not only because researchers looked at the diet long- term, but also because they didn’t limit how many calories the participants could eat, debunking the idea that a LCHF diet only works as well as any other calorie- capped diet. But whether you should even try it is up for debate among our experts. Fear, for example, isn’t crazy about LCHF as a sustainable diet dogma. And the science agrees that there is little harm—other than to your speed—to trying it out. It probably will help you lose weight, and there is still a chance it’ll help your distance or power performance. And if your first instinct on hearing “restrict your carbs” is “yeah right,” you don’t actually have to be quite so rigid: The high- fat group in the Annals of Internal Medicine study made all of their weight- loss gains despite the fact that they never actually kept their carb goals as low as the study guidelines. Plus, at its roots, the Atkins diet or any low- carb high- fat diet is all about healthy eating, which everyone can benefit from. And this brings up the point: “The benefit of the diet could potentially be in ditching the junk and loading up on the whole foods more than the actual fat itself.” (See: Carbs Without Cause: 8 Foods Worse than White Bread.)Just know that you have to give your body at least two weeks to learn how to use fat as fuel—a phase known as fat adaptation, Bede advises. And while saturated fats, like those in cheese, have gotten the biggest reputation makeover, there is still a place for unsaturated fats in your diet as well. Check it out!

I’ve discussed 5 Ways to Measure Your Body Fat Percentage, Ideal Body Weight Formula, and even showed you Body Fat Percentage Pictures of Men & Women, but what is your ideal body fat percentage? What is a healthy, realistic body fat percentage to shoot for so you can have that lean, toned body you desire? While there is some debate as to what constitutes a “healthy” body fat range, I have below 2 different types of body fat percentage charts, which I will walk you through along with some insights into how to read each chart. Ideal Body Fat Percentage Chart #1: ACEThe chart below from the American Council on Exercise (ACE) is one of the most commonly used body fat charts. As you can see, women have a higher body fat percentage relative to men for a given level. Women have more fat because of physiological differences such as hormones, breasts, and sexual organs. In addition, women need a higher amount of body fat for ovulation.“Essential fat” is the minimum amount of fat necessary for basic physical and physiological health. There is a lot of controversy over what amount of body fat is optimal for overall health. A research paper by Gallagher et. For women in this same age group, any level under 2. In my opinion, I think body fat is one important measure of health, but stating a certain body fat level is “unhealthy” doesn’t give the whole story. In fact, some overweight people who exercise can be healthier than their leaner non- exercising counterparts. Conversely, to imply that anyone who has a six pack (below 8% body fat for men), is very athletic, and eats well is “underfat”, or “unhealthy” is a stretch. We all have different shapes, sizes, and fat distribution profiles, but I think the chart above is a good starting point. The limitation of the ACE chart is that while it takes into account gender differences, it does not take into account your age, which is exactly why I included the next two charts. Ideal Body Fat Percentage Chart #2: Jackson & Pollock. Accu. Fitness is the maker of the popular Accu- Measure Body Fat Caliper, which is a one- site skinfold body fat measurement method. When you buy the product, Accu. Fitness includes a body fat percentage chart based on research by Jackson & Pollock (which has become the industry standard) that I think both aesthetically and from a health perspective is right on the money. In case you don’t understand how to read this chart, just find your age on the left hand column, then see the corresponding body fat percentage to the right. So if you are a 3. You may have noticed as your age increases, your acceptable body fat within these ranges increases as well. In short, these charts are based on statistical assumptions. The AOL.com video experience serves up the best video content from AOL and around the web, curating informative and entertaining snackable videos. There’s virtually nothing this. Not sure about the certainty of a high fat diet on cholesterol, but in May of 2011 my lipid panel was- total cholesterol 215, triglycerides 129. Cutting back on calories is a great way to lose weight, but cutting back TOO far can be counterproductive. I’ve seen a number of people take their calories down to. Older individuals tend to have a lower body density for the same skinfold measurements, which is assumed to indicate a higher body fat percentage. Older, athletic individuals, however, might not fit this assumption because their body density may be underestimated. In entertainment, an awful lot of stuff happens behind closed doors, from canceling TV shows to organizing music festival lineups. While the public sees the end. La jalea real engorda?
