Steak ‘n eggs: Good or bad for weight loss?

What’s the best way to lose weight fast and remain healthy?

There has been much hysteria pro and con the Atkins-type weight-loss regime, with the low-cal/lo fat and portion control camp screaming that red meat and eggs are dangerous.

In a recent weight loss study Atkins folks sponsored, plant-based diet supporters gleefully point out that participants were being apparently counseled “to choose vegetarian sources of fat and protein.”

What could I possibly be thinking? Why do I feel the need to correct misconceptions inflicted upon people who choose to have Gastric Bypass Surgery (a.k.a. stomach stapling). Yet, here I go. Like a fat lamb to the slaughter I will try to make the world listen. Admittedly, I am weary of being judged. Thus, I will vainly ask you to forget what you may have assumed. For just a few moments, dare to see the world from my view.

Have you ever thought about why the mere mention of Gastric Bypass Surgery causes superiority to ooze out from every pore of ‘fit’ society? We have all seen it. A Diet Guru, a News Anchor or a Talk Show Host will say, “Next we are going to meet Barbie Beautiful who lost half her body size.” Then they add, “without pills or surgery.”

It only seems natural to consider the psychological effects of teen obesity and how it is affecting our youth. Not too long ago it would be unheard of to be having this discussion. The child obesity issue worldwide has received so much attention it seems appropriate to consider what is going on in their head. How is their weight issue effecting them emotionally? It’s what we don’t see in our children that is of most concern. We can easily see their day to day routines but what underlining psychological effects of teen obesity don’t we see?

It has been perceived that young children who are obese will grow out of it or they are just carrying “baby fat”. In some cases this is true and they do grow out of it, but what if they don’t.

As we approach the start of 2009, millions of Americans are beginning to focus on their list of New Year’s Resolutions. If we follow the current trends in recent years, the resolution to “lose weight” will be at the top of many of those lists. Studies have shown the effectiveness of Green Tea Extract in helping people lose weight. Ultimate Green Tea is the most potent Green Tea Liquid extract on the market.

There’s no question that obesity is a serious problem in the U.S. Nearly one out of every three men and women in this country meet the criteria for obesity — defined as an excess of total body fat, resulting from caloric intake exceeding energy usage.
