How many calories must a dieter cut to lose a pound?

How many calories must a dieter cut to lose a pound?



Please share.

The answer most dietitians have long provided is 3,500. But recent studies indicate that calories can't be converted into weight through a simple formula.

The result is that the 3,500-calorie rule of thumb gets things very wrong over the long term, and has led health analysts astray. Much bigger dietary changes…

Another reason to try to Improve your health.

Not that we need any more reasons, but this one actually may hit our purses soon. Some short term health insurance premiums are soon going to be tied to a personal fitness score. Ths score will be determined by things like your hieght, weight, BMI, BP, resting pulse rate and other basic health indicators. So, if you are in bad shape, overweight, and in general poor health, you will… Continue

Media and the Giant Food Industry.

We need a new community obesity action plan.



The food industry has countless resources and owns much of the media. TV weight loss is losing ground and the globe continues to awaken. I am thrilled that Michelle Obama has chosen to step into the ring. However, she has framed this in a way that may encourage more children to grapple with Eating Issues. Her intention is noble , but

many of our young girls are ready to die to try and become thin.…

Lifestyle and the blaming model. 2010

How can 90 % of people believe obesity is only related to a lifestyle?



I am calling for a national obesity talk, and I want to contribute to the conversation. Lets build a community driven action plan to fight childhood obesity. The key to all of this is to hit on childhood obesity, because there is a slight movement, or shift of beliefs.



Shared Accountability hopes to lean heavily when the shift arrives. That is the key to all of this , and it allows for a greater level of… Continue

Obesity Thunder Bay Website Fights Childhood Obesity



January 25th, 2010 | Fit Girl



Listen, I took some slack for The Girl Revolution: Fit Girl Series I ran last year. Too obsessive, one reader said in her email.



The thing is, childhood obesity has very serious health consequences for our children. Especially for our daughters who reach puberty between 100 and 110 pounds, whether that happens at 6 or 12. Outward signs of puberty are beginning in some girls as… Continue

Obesity is a very serious and misunderstood issue , but what are the sources of this confusion? This morning on CTV Canada I witnessed another sarcastic interview complete with ,EYE ROLLING and the tone of stupidity. This continues to be the foundation of mainstream media when… Continue

Lack of Exercise is the problem.

Lack of exercise is the problem



By: J. Justin Wilson

Newspaper: Providence Journal



AMERICANS have access to the same food in every state. You will find the same soda in Rhode Island as you will in Oregon. Fast-food franchises serve the same hamburgers in Providence and in rural Idaho. Rhode Islanders can buy the same packaged foods as residents of New Mexico. Everyone, in every state, gets to decide what food to buy.



Yet obesity rates vary widely across the… Continue

Obesity and Fat Hatred Bashing the Obese.

I found the remark down below from the CBC site and it is articulate and well thought out. It is the type of belief that continues to be supported by the media. I am doing my best to explore the issue through a conversation, trying to open up channels of communication.

Childhood obesity allows for a little conversation, and thus inspires some thinking .The message of BLAME is strongly supported by many interested parties,because Blame deflects any focus on Food. I am seeking to open up a… Continue
