Nutritional Fanaticism II: The Vegan Extreme

admin — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 14:00:13 +0000

If extreme low carbers rank #1 in dietary fervency, then call extreme Vegans a “1(a)”. As part of my preamble (stop me if you’ve heard this before) I am NOT painting any single group with the same broad stroke and this is no different for vegans. For the purpose of this piece, I’m going to categorize vegetarians and vegans together – recognizing that just because one is more “strict” doesn’t mean they are any more or less prone to fanatical behaviour.

Does Eating More Air Help With Weight Loss?

admin — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 14:00:23 +0000

We have heard of the Air Diet before, where you just pretend to eat food, but are really eating air. However, this is a different idea: you actually eat foods that have a higher air content. By eating foods that are puffed or whipped can you actually reduce your total calorie intake? Continue reading…

A Culture of Bad Food: Can it Change?

admin — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 03:18:12 +0000

Recently I spent some time traveling round the United Kingdom. It didn’t take long for me to realize how incongruous the message of healthy eating has become. If you are already eating a predominantly healthy diet, you have already made lifestyle choices. You are part of a niche group, while most people continue to eat as they’ve always eaten. It’s easy to get caught up in your niche, believing that everyone thinks like you. When traveling, you are out of the familiar, and when eating you are faced with multiple choices every time you are hungry. And those choices can be jarring. Here’s why: Continue reading…

The Best Diet in All the Land Is?

admin — Wed, 11 May 2011 14:00:30 +0000

Jenny Craig, that’s who. Well at least according to Consumer Reports. I think I’ve just lost all respect for Consumer Reports for ranking a diet plan that relies on expensive, prepackaged, and highly processed meals to produce weight loss results. 13 Comments | Continue reading…

Poll: Dr. Sears’ or Gary Taubes’ Obesity Theory?

admin — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 14:28:33 +0000

I think Dr. Barry Sears was feeling a little bit left out of the diet wars lately. With all the press, Dr. Oz, Gary Taubes, and now Pierre Dukan are getting, it’s only fair that Sears, founder of The Zone Diet, would want a piece of the action. He recently did an interview for NBC’s Daytime and said the nation’s obesity problem is due to omega-6 rich fats in the diet. 0 Comments | Continue reading…

admin — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 14:20:23 +0000

This modified Atkins diet continues to take the world by storm especially after it’s recent “official” release in the USA.

Just Stop Eating So Much! is a weight loss plan written by former “Fat Funny Kid”, Gregg McBride. Gregg created his plan after he successfully lost 275lbs and kept the weight off for 10 years.

admin — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 02:57:31 +0000

An interesting court case in France is underway where parents, Sergine and Joel Le Moaligou, are being charged with the death of their 11 month old baby due to neglect and food deprivation. The baby was fed a vegan diet and the doctor involved said the death was due to pneumonia and vitamin deficiency. He refused to issue the couple a burial permit and reported them to the French authorities in 2008. 1 Comments | Continue reading…

Does Dieting Make You Angry And Stressed?

admin — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 18:04:12 +0000

The idea of reaching for a stick of celery when all you really want is a big slice of chocolate cake, would probably make most people a little grumpy. And, according to results published in the Journal of Consumer Research , exerting self-control while dieting can in fact make people feel angry and irritable. Research has shown that exerting self-control makes people more likely to behave aggressively toward others, and people on diets are known to be irritable and quick to anger.
