Gastric Bypass: The Easy Way Out Of Fat Land - Right? was written by Kaye Bailey from livingafterwls.comIf you listen, even for a moment, to the talk in overweight communities you will almost always hear that gastric bypass weight loss surgery is the "easy way out" of Fat Land. People with weak spirits and good insurance get a lucky break, have their stomachs whacked and stapled and lose weight the easy way. Weight Loss Surgery: seen by pious public to be surgical baptism for the guilty gluttonous slothful.But those of us who step in the water to be cleansed of our fatty sins know better. Weight loss surgery is NOT the easy way out, a simple dunking of the repentant, the sins atoned, and the price paid, the soul and body healed. We know the atonement is paid every day for the rest of our lives when we set our healthy house in order with gastric bypass.We understand that WLS is not easy. Why, then, does the public think it?s redemption to weight loss?First: what the public sees is a ...

The 7 Things To Look For When Joining A Gym was written by Ray Kelly from free-online-health.comYou?ve finally committed to getting fit and you want to join a gym, but which one? Unless you?ve been a regular at gyms in the past you really don?t know a good one from a bad one.A good fitness center has their members as their number one priority. They are customer service oriented. A bad fitness center is only looking at your dollar value. Once you join they will not want to know you.Telling the difference can be as simple as following this simple checklist:EquipmentTake a walk around the gym and have a good look at each piece of equipment. Get on and use some. If they grind, or seem loose or unstable then that?s a sure sign that the equipment is not serviced often. Any gym that doesn?t service their equipment is not going to service you.CleaningThis is a great way of seeing how important the owner?s business is to them. If it?s not cleaned daily then they?re probably cutting costs, wh...

How What We Drink Can Affect Our Weight And Health
2008-11-18 08:07:00
How What We Drink Can Affect Our Weight And Health was written by Vikki Scovell from getfitter.netHello Everyone,I thought that I would talk about what we drink. Everyone loves a long cool drink, but often we forget to think about how many calories and nutrients are in what we drink. The warm weather can leave us dehydrated, and it is important that we are all drinking lots of water, especially before we go to a class. There should be no risk to a healthy person of exercising in hot weather providing you make sure that you drink before, during and after exercise (water that is).Often we exercise and watch what we eat, but forget to add in the amount of calories that we consume through drinks. Someone left a delicious bottle of lemonade in my fridge last week, and as I haven?t had a fizzy drink in ages, I got very excited and drank the lot over the course of the day. I was horribly shocked as I glanced at the label as it went in the bin to realize that I had consumed over 1000 calori...

It's Never Too Late To Get Back Into Health And Fitness was written by Vikki ScovellHello people,At this time of the year many of you go on holiday, or have the children at home, and adding to this the warm evenings, barbeques, and enticing beer gardens, many people find that they are slipping out of their good habits, and starting to feel sluggish. It is an often repeated scenario that effects many of you, including myself, that just when you seem to be getting somewhere, improving fitness levels, and loosing unwanted weight, life takes over, holidays loom, work tires you out, babies are born, and suddenly it seems as if you are back to square one. Many people feel that when they have taken time out from their exercise routine, or when social engagements and holidays have sabotaged their healthy eating habits, that they have to start from scratch again. This can seem daunting and unfair, and often is enough to put you off altogether. We feel that all the hard work is useless if yo...

How To Lose 20 Pounds REALLY, REALLY Fast was written by Tom Venuto from burnthefat.comBack "in the day" when I used to be a full time personal trainer and I met with clients in person at my New Jersey Health Club, the first thing I would always ask my clients during the initial consultation was:"Tell me exactly what you want... and I'll show you how to get it."Typical reply from client:"I want to lose 20 pounds fast."My reply:"Are you SURE that's what you want? If I can show you how to lose 20 pounds REALLY, REALLY fast, will that make you happy?"They nodded their head affirmatively as their eyes lit up in anticipation of the quick weight loss secrets I was about to reveal...Their face went white when - with a totally straight face ?

Fattest Country In The World: Are We There Yet?

Fattest Country In The World : Are We There Yet? was written by Victor Holtreman from last10pounds.comAt an estimated 64.5% of the U.S. population being considered obese or overweight, we must have that dubious title.This information comes from the Trust for Americans' Health, an independent advocacy group.They say that the nation has been let down by ineffective anti-obesity policies, but I'm not sure what they expect. Personal responsibility (and yes, sloth) is a factor, but I can't help but point to my prior article about Burger King and how many calories they pack into a food (and I use the term loosely) item.I mean when a fast food chain sells a kids meal that has close to 700 calories... come on now! Even I, cynical bugger that I am wouldn't expect that many calories in a kid's meal at a fast food joint.This is going to be ugly folks... childhood obesity is out of hand and we have an aging population that's WAY overweight.

Expanding Waist Lines
2008-11-14 08:07:00
Expanding Waist Lines was written by Ryan Joseph from zoneresults.comAs many of us well know, our expanding waistlines are at epidemic proportion in America. For those who are dubious, epidemic, according to Webster-Merriam online dictionary means, "affecting or tending to affect a disproportionately large number of individuals within a population, community or region at the same time."When a person is twenty percent or more above their normal weight in terms of fat mass, then that particular person is considered obese. Morbid obesity is when a person is either fifty to a hundred percent over normal weight, more than one hundred pounds over normal weight, or so overweight that the extra baggage greatly interferes with the health of normal daily functions.Many of us have been carrying around some extra baggage for so long and have become so desensitized to our slowly ascending dress sizes, and have become so used to referring to ourselves as "healthy" and "voluptuous" that we may not...

Diet Preparation , Part II--Why Do We Need Sleep ? was written by Mark Fuqua from weight-loss-professional.comThe first article in this series stressed the importance of being prepared to begin any weight loss program. Without proper diet preparation, you will set yourself up for weight loss failure instead of success. This entire series deals with diet preparation as it relates to sleep and stress.If you are in a stressful period in your life, you probably aren't getting enough sleep. Or the sleep you are getting isn't the kind of sleep that is doing for the body what a good night's sleep is supposed to do.

Three Ways Music Can Help You To Lose Weight

Three Ways Music Can Help You To Lose Weight was written by Danielle Rivers from weightwellbeing.comMusic is the key to the soul. It can lift you up and put a smile on your face or alternatively it can bring you down and reduce you to tears. Music is powerful and fortunately you can use it to help with your weight loss.The interesting thing about music is that the same track or song can induce different emotions in different people. If you met the love of your life during a particular song, then you probably enjoy it and feel happy when you hear it played on the radio. Another person may have been cruelly dumped by their boyfriend during that same song, played at the same time somewhere else in the world, chances are this song brings back all that pain and hurt the breakup caused.Have you ever played upbeat music loudly when working out or been to a nightclub and found yourself dancing all night because the music was so good?

Is Bariatric Bypass Surgery For You?
2008-11-09 08:07:00
Is Bariatric Bypass Surgery For You? was written by Eddie Tobey from e-bariatricsurgery.comThere are two basic types of bariatric surgeries for weight loss: restriction procedures and malabsorption procedures. Restriction procedures reduce the size of the stomach through the use of a gastric band, staples, or both, and do not interfere with the normal digestion process. Malabsorption procedures, on the other hand, reduce the size of the stomach and bypass duodenum, the first segment of the small intestine, and sometimes the whole of the jejunum (the mid-section of the intestines). Some bariatric procedures combine the two.The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery is widely accepted as the most effective surgical weight loss treatment available. During this procedure, the stomach is divided into two sections, reducing the size of the new pouch 90 percent, from approximately two quarts to one or two ounces. This drastic reduction limits the new stomach pouch?s ability to hold food, causing...

The Bariatric Surgery Diet
2008-11-08 08:07:00
The Bariatric Surgery Diet was written by Eddie Tobey from e-bariatricsurgery.comAfter bariatric surgery, the new and very small stomach will often only hold about an ounce. For the first week after surgery, the patient will only be able to tolerate nutritious liquids. During the second week, pureed, high-protein foods such as cottage cheese, yogurt, and soft-cooked eggs may be added. After that, the patient may add one solid food at a time, such as well-cooked vegetables, fish, or chicken. It is crucial that the patient chew this more solid food very carefully, eating only a few tablespoonfuls at a sitting.Post-surgery, patients should avoid high carbohydrate foods such as chips, pretzels, breads, rice, and pasta, as hey expand and can cause a potentially dangerous blockage. Lactose is also difficult to digest and may cause nausea, cramps, gas, or diarrhea. Patients who love milk should wait to reintroduce it until the third week post-procedure.Protein is a vitally important nutrie...

Bariatric Surgery Costs
2008-11-07 08:07:00
Bariatric Surgery Costs was written by Eddie Tobey from e-bariatricsurgery.comThe cost of Bariatric surgery can be quite high. The typical price of an operation can be $25,000 or more. Medical insurance coverage varies by state and insurance provider, and although some states have legislation in place that requires insurers to offer weight loss surgery for patients, providing it meets health criteria laid down by the National Institutes of Health, other states do not. This means that patients who would benefit from bariatric surgery often have to contend with providers that have not yet accepted that this kind of weight loss surgery can deliver powerful medical benefits that will save them money in the long run. A patient encountering this problem may have to work with his or her surgeon to prove to the health insurance provider that the proposed surgery is not a cosmetic procedure, but a potentially life-saving operation that will minimize future health problems.Individuals who are...

Personal Space : Life After Lap-Band Surgery was written by Robin McCoy from lapbandlifestyle.comHave I become invisible or are people just aiming right at me? It seems to me that in a crowd these days, whether at the grocery store or 5th Avenue in New York City, people will walk right into me if I don?t step out of the way. Or they stand so close to me I have to step backward in order to breathe.Now, I have never felt that I have such a small area of personal space. A busy street or mall never bothered me. I could walk through the crowd at a museum or a concert without being trampled. Only since losing 110 pounds have I begun to notice how the shrinking personal space has begun to bother me.When I weighed 277 pounds I always felt emotionally invisible; that no one truly saw me or knew I was there. But while I felt emotionally invisible, I knew I was always physically there. I didn?t get bumped into, people didn?t stand so close to me that I felt the need to step away in order to mai...

Hoodia Gordonii - The Scientific Intervention was written by Roy Thomsitt from routes-to-self-improvement.comThe first scientific study of hoodia was really sparked by chance, as is often the case in scientific "discoveries". What started it all was not, in fact, an exclusive study into the hoodia gordonii, a succulent that looks like a cactus. South Africa?s national laboratory was conducting a much broader study. It was only because the San tribesman were known to eat hoodia gordonii that it was included in a study of indigenous foods.It is not surprising that the interest of the national laboratory was aroused, and they started to focus seriously on the hoodia gordonii?s properties. It was tested on animals by including it in their food. The animals ate it, and then lost weight. It was then a question of isolating the ingredient that was behind this phenomenon. Or were these animals going to secret weight watchers meetings every week, without the knowledge of the laboratory? That...

Weight Loss Recipe : Avocado, Walnut & Crispy Bacon Salad was written by Kim Beardsmore from weight-loss-health.com.auLosing weight doesn't have to be boring when you focus on bright, colourful meals. What does this mean? Simply by making sure your plate reflects a range of colours, you'll naturally create more balanced and healthful menus. Not everyone has the time or the patience to count calories, but assessing the colours on your plate is something anyone can do - and it only takes an instant!Why is colour important? Many fatty and caloric foods, such as dairy products and startchy carbs, are beige or brown. When there are too many of these drab colours on your plate, weight gain is almost certain.That's because these beige foods often are high in calories and can leave you feeling hungry later. A cup of beige or brown beans can be over 200 calories....but a cup of red or green vegetables is under a hundred! Add fresh greens, deep purple-reds and bright yellow-orange to a meal...
