Equal to all fats in calories, research has shown that trans fats can block protein synthesis - hindering your body from building lean muscle tissue. This also equates to a slowed metabolism.Unfortunately, there's not a lot of research on trans fats and their relationship to weight gain except for what was presented 3 years ago at the American Diabetes Association conference in Washington.

If you keep eating after that, you are just “feeding.” Of course, if you are physically hungry, eating more of the food serves a purpose.

Fish Oil Helps Burn Your Stored Fat
2008-02-09 12:31:00 Best Selling author, Brenda Watson ND, CNC, recently published The Fiber35 Diet: Nature's Weight Loss Secret. Brenda lets us in on another weight loss secret she employs.Brenda Watson:By now, almost everyone’s heard the pitch for fish. Fish oil helps support heart and brain health. And yet, even though fish oil is a key player in fostering good health, Americans rarely include this necessary fat in their diets. Instead, most Americans consume fats found in vegetable oils, and these Omega -6 fats cause the body to release chemicals that promote inflammation. In contrast (and neglected in a world of fast and processed food), the Omega-3 fats in fish oil have been shown to reduce inflammation, keep mental processes sharp, and support a healthy cardiovascular system.Important Health Support Since World War II, our intake of Omega-6 fats has doubled while intake of Omega-3 fats has shrunk. Diets rich in Omega-6s may partly explain the increase in diabetes, heart disease and h...

Among other findings:6 in 10 voters are willing to raise taxes to ensure all women have access to quality breast cancer screening and treatment. 70 percent of voters said income level impacts quality of care and half think ethnicity affects quality of care – a view supported by Komen's research. Half of voters feel candidates are not spending enough time on healthcare issues, a top priority for both men and women surveyed. And only 12 percent are aware of their preferred presidential candidate's position on issues relating to breast cancer!With so many voters agreei...

Guest Blogger Linda Spangle--Emotions, Food and Kicking My KettlesLots of things make me want to eat. Stress, disappointment, a bad day. In fact, sometimes LIFE makes me want to eat. But nothing sends me toward food faster than pain. I think it started when I skinned my knee as a kid and my mother said, “Here’s a cookie. Now you’ll feel better.” In my work as a weight-loss coach, I teach others how to identify emotions and be willing to feel and express them. But sometimes, I have trouble following my own advice.

Jessica Seinfeld Is Deceptively Delicious!
2008-01-31 11:32:00 When my son was a toddler, he ate everything, even wood! I was constantly alert for anything other than food entering his mouth. As I prepared meals in the kitchen, he would sit in his highchair and taste-test my culinary creations. Time passed and David entered school. Peer pressure regarding dietary habits hit back at my efforts to feed my family healthy meals, and I was forced to resort to creative cooking--hiding the vegetables, fruits, and whole grains in common everyday dishes. Recently, I reviewed Deceptively Delicious , by Jessica Seinfeld , wife of comedian Jerry Seinfeld. The author has been plagued with the same complaints all mothers have--"One won't eat!

Written by the Real Age doctors Mehmet Oz and Michael Roizen, they confront dieting and its dilemmas.So many smokers are afraid to give up the habit they say, because it keeps their weight down. Sounds hazy, but is there some truth to this? The doctors weigh in, "When many people quit smoking, they'll complain about the weight they've gained after quitting. There's something to that. While cigarettes are bullets to your lungs, they do seem to help people control weight--possibly, in part, through the destruction of taste buds. But they also seem to help by increasing metabolic rate by up to 10% as well as helping to reduce appetite."Researchers from the University of Florida, College ... More About: Smoke , Smoking
