Weight Loss - Calories Don’t Count-Not Really!
2007-08-26 07:47:00
According to a recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association’s April 2003 issue, there is a no magic formula to losing weight. You can lose weight by following a variety of different diet programs; however, the one thing that always counts are the number of calories that you consume vs. the number of calories that you bum daily. Yes, even those horrendous, low-carbohydrate diets work also, but that’s because they restrict calories also, not just carbohydrates. Also, they work because you are creating an unhealthy condition found in diabetics called ketosis, where you are burning protein instead of fat to lose weight. Unfortunately, the weight comes back twice, as fast when you stop the diet, if, however, you are fortunate enough not to have damaged your liver or kidneys while you were on this unsafe diet. Unfortunately, Americans have been gaining so much weight in the last twenty years that obesity is becoming an actual epidemic. Over 60% of a...

Back Problems - Symptoms and Home Treatment
2007-06-03 19:19:00
Back problems are the most common physical complaints in the United States and other developed countries.
