Terror Rewires Our Brains
2008-01-15 17:35:00 Do you remember 9/11? Odds are you do. You probably recall exactly what you were doing and where you were when the news of the Twin Towers reached your ears. At the time, I was filling in for my child's elementary school teacher who was home sick. By background, I am a teacher; my concern of course was for the children. After having a quick conference in the hallway, and because details of the attacks were sketchy at 10 AM for those of us without access to current news, the fourth grade instructors decided not to explain what was happening to the pupils, and rather carry on as usual. The kids caught on though. They knew something was up as child after child was called down to the office for "early dismissal." By 1 PM the majority of the student body had been excused, and even I was told that I wasn't needed any longer. Where did we all go? Home--to our television sets.Psychotherapist Mar...

Is Stress Packing On Your Pounds?
2008-01-15 12:41:00 Best Selling author Brenda Watson ND, CNC, who recently penned The Fiber35 Diet: Nature's Weight Loss Secret, explains how our bodies react under every day stress--sometimes packing on the pounds.

While they may seem commonplace in today’s fast-paced world, these everyday emotional hurdles can cause a lack of energy, fatigue and even depression, all of which can seriously get in the way of your weight loss efforts.

When faced with a stressful situation, your brain kicks into high gear, stimulating the release of a hormone... More About: Stress , Packing

2008-01-05 12:58:00 Keeping track of what you eat is any easy way to avoid mindless munching.Most diets ask their participants to keep a food journal, listing every item eaten and drunk. Linda Spangle, RN, MA, author of 100 Days of Weight Loss and weight loss coach, asks that a notebook be kept too. But her's is different. The 100 Days "magic" notebook should be used to write down a food, whenever you think about a particular desired food. Then plan to eat it at another time. If possible, include how much of it you'll eat and how often it will fit into your program. Even better, stretch apart the times you'll eat this food. Over time, perhaps you'll find out that that certain foods aren't as appealing as they once were.The skill you'll learn by keeping this type of notebook: When a food crosses my mind, I don't necessarily need to eat it.More from Linda Spangle
