Childhood obesity rates have risen in most developed countries, not just the United States. A study of both normal weight and overweight Swiss children found several factors associated with increased weight in children.
The...

A small group of both normal weight and overweight boys were studied to measure the amount of food eaten shortly after consuming either a glucose drink or a whey drink.
The glucose drink decreased subsequent food intake for...

Respiratory Quotient is a calculation that determines which substrate (fat or carbohydrate) is currently being burned. It is a complex process that involves measuring oxygen inhaled and carbon dioxide exhaled and must be performed in a...
Wed, 15 Aug 2007 14:03:20 -0500 - Diet composition and risk of overweight and obesity
This large study examined the diets of women living in the southwest US. Greater intake of fat, protein and animal protein were associated with a greater risk of obesity.
The researchers recommended replacing some animal...

Gastric bypass patients receiving a diet based on the South Beach Diet did not lose any more weight than those receiving a low fat diet. No statistical differences were found between the groups and both groups lost a significant amount of weight.Mon, 06 Aug 2007 14:23:39 -0500 - CLA helpful for overweight, but not obese.
There have been quite a few studies on CLA supplementation over the last few years with mixed results. Overall, CLA appears to be helpful for weight loss. CLA, like other polyunsaturated fats, seems to improve insulin sensitivity.
Thu, 02 Aug 2007 14:08:40 -0500 - Fat to carbohydrate ratio
High fat diets induce insulin resistance and obesity in rats. Reducing the amount of carbohydrates with a high fat diet reduces the obesity, but not the insulin resistance.
A very high fat diet with zero carbohydrates...
Mon, 30 Jul 2007 11:09:07 -0500 - Cereal grains outperform vegetables
A small group of women were placed on calorie restricted diets, one emphasizing vegegables and one emphasizing cereal grains.
Both groups lost weight, but the group that received the cereal grains achieved 40% better...

Tue, 24 Jul 2007 12:17:19 -0500 - Another look at spot reduction
It is generally believed that it is impossible to spot reduce. This study used modern measuring techniques to measure subcutaneous fat in trained and untrained arms after resistance training.
When measured by skinfold,...
Fri, 20 Jul 2007 12:45:28 -0500 - Fat oxidation rates
A small group of obese and non-obese adolescents were tested to determine maximum fat oxidation rates during exercise. Maximum fat oxidation occured at around 58% maximum heart rate. Males had slightly higher fat oxidation at that intensity....
