Exercise and Diet Strategy

Diet and Exercise – Loose it the Smart Way Diet and exercise are essential for losing weight. It finally struck me that we have a serious weight problem in this country. I read that the IRS is going to give tax write-offs for certain diet and weight loss programs. If the Feds are willing to give up their precious revenue to encourage people to trim down, then the problem must be reaching epidemic proportion. According to a recent study by Tufts University, Sixty-three percent of men and 55 percent of women over the age of 25 are overweight . Nearly one-quarter are obese, meaning they are at least 30 percent over their ideal weight. “It really is an epidemic,” states James Hill, Ph.D., director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Colorado Health Science Center. “If being overweight were an infectious disease we would have mobilized the country.

Proof that the Atkins Diet Works The Atkins diet is probably the most controversial weight loss plan. But regardless of the countless ridicule by medical and nutritional experts, latest studies show that it work and gets results. Two studies in one of medicine’s most distinguished journals show it really does help people lose weight faster without raising their cholesterol. Research in a recent issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, found that people on the high-protein, high-fat, low-carbohydrate Atkins diet lose twice as much weight over six months as those on the standard low-fat diet recommended by most major health organizations. Atkins Diet Books have sold 15 million copies since the first one was published in 1972. From the start, doctors branded the Atkins diet foolish and dangerous, warning that the large amounts of beef and fat would lead to sky-high cholesterol levels. In both studies, the Atkins dieters generally had better levels of “good” cholesterol and triglyceri...
