Diet season is almost upon us, and as silly as it seems, January is the month where people go and buy diet books. Publishers know this and hold back releases until January. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091119/5-factor-world-diet.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/blogs/articles/11405/20091119/5-factor-world-diet.htm Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:09:35 EST A draft report from the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition suggests that the UK's recommended daily calorie intakes (currently 2,000 for women and 2,500 for men) might need to be revised. The good news? They're thinking of putting the figures up, perhaps by as much as 16% - around 400 calories for men. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091118/uk-calorie-recommendations-to-increase.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/blogs/articles/11378/20091118/uk-calorie-recommendations-to-increase.htm Wed, 18 Nov 2009 09:35:59 EST Selling cheeseburgers for $1 sounds like a good idea, especially for the consumer! After all, maintaining giant thunder-thighs isn't cheap. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091118/burger-king-sues-burger-king-for-1.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/blogs/articles/11376/20091118/burger-king-sues-burger-king-for-1.htm Wed, 18 Nov 2009 09:32:54 EST Vicki Larrieux, a 22-year-old student, claims she is unable to keep to a healthy diet because she is frightened of vegetables. Now I know what you're thinking "Isn't that most of the Western world?" Incredibly enough, Larrieux suffers from a "legitimate" condition called lachanophobia - a fear of vegetables. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091116/fear-of-vegetables-do-you-suffer-from-it.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/blogs/articles/11334/20091116/fear-of-vegetables-do-you-suffer-from-it.htm Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:20:52 EST Researchers believe that being obese at age 18 may be linked with developing multiple sclerosis (MS) as an adult. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091113/is-teen-obesity-associated-with-ms-later-in-life.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/blogs/articles/11304/20091113/is-teen-obesity-associated-with-ms-later-in-life.htm Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:16:24 EST The idea that French woman could live in the land of wine, cheese, and those mouth-watering pastries without gaining so much as an inch was such a phenomenon that it even spawned a best-selling book, French Women Don't Get Fat. And, yes, it may have created a little envy, too. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091113/french-women-are-getting-fatter.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/blogs/articles/11303/20091113/french-women-are-getting-fatter.htm Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:11:33 EST Photobucket: Minda33 "Five...five dollar foot longs."

Overall, I was extremely happy with both meal plans. I'm a big believer in fresh, local foods, so if you are fortunate enough to live close enough to their delivery locations, run, don't walk, to sign up. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091105/diet-to-go-review-the-final-word.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/blogs/articles/11175/20091105/diet-to-go-review-the-final-word.htm Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:18:21 EST Tune in this Tuesday, November 3 to Oprah to watch Kirstie Alley unveil a surprise.

Last week I reviewed the week of Diet to Go's fresh prepared foods, and this week I'll be discussing the frozen meal delivery option. (As a reminder, Diet to Go offers two calorie levels for weight loss - 1200 and 1600 calories a day; as well as three meal plans - low-fat, traditional, vegetarian, and low-carb. After looking over the menu choices, I chose the 1600 calorie a day version of the low-fat option.) http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20091104/diet-to-go-review-frozen-meal-delivery-service.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/blogs/articles/11111/20091104/diet-to-go-review-frozen-meal-delivery-service.htm Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:51:35 EST
