60 in 3 had that interesting post last week about how having an active life is really a key step in one’s journey to health and weight loss, and I couldn’t agree more with what the author had to say about the matter. Because, when we think of it, when we turn a keen eye [...]

The Mayo Clinic website had an interesting list of questions yesterday, and I thought it would be worth it to discuss it a little.

Or at least, it is what appears to stem from a recent study (you can have a look at it on http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/personal/06/29/in.your.head/index.html). The data was gathered through the National Weight Loss Registry, which has been tracking, since 1993, the evolutions of weight in a group of about 4,500 registrants, all of whom [...]

Diet Blog is one of my favourite, long-time weight loss-related blogs, and even if I don’t always comment (and sometimes don’t comment at all for a long time), I like its tone, and I never miss checking it. So, today, I’m going to do it justice, and link to one of its recent article regarding [...]

Going out to eat can sabotage any diet. It’s best to be as prepared as possible before heading out to a restaurant. A little homework will help to ensure that you can enjoy eating out and not falling off track.

Does writing down what you eat help you when you are dieting? Many people believe that keeping a food diary is well worth the trouble since it is easy to forget just how much or what we eat during the day. A food diary can really keep you on track with your diet.
