The skinny on diets
Craig Daily Press, CO - 9 hours ago Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. Eating just 50 fewer calories a day can result in a 5-pound weight loss during
Portion control becomes easier: For many consumers who have a hard time knowing when to stop, pre-portioned snacks may be an answer. Snacks such as the 100-calorie packs and mini-sized cans of soda allow adults and children to enjoy their favorite treats with fewer calories. More companies are likely to roll out similar product lines as these snacks continue to fly off the shelves.
Consumers will make simple substitutions: The average American gains one to three pounds every year, according to the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. Eating just 50 fewer calories a day can result in a 5-pound weight loss during a year, avoiding the dreaded weight gain. For example, choosing a light yogurt in place of a full-calorie yogurt can save 130 calories, and choosing light lemonade over the full-calorie version will save 98 calories.
Companies will continue to fight obesity with more corporate wellness: Obesity costs employers about $12.7 billion each year in health care costs (36 percent higher for obese employees), medications, paid sick leave and life insurance policies, according to the Washington Business Group on Health. According to Hewitt Associates (which specializes in Human Resources), 72 percent of U.S. companies are offering programs to help employees lose weight and live healthier lifestyles. Corporate wellness and e-dieting programs such as the Council's non-commercial site, www.caloriescount.com, discourage the "fad diet" mentality and instead teach health-conscious employees to count calories and make lifestyle changes.
Pedometers track success at little cost: To help incorporate physical activity into their hectic schedules, more consumers will take advantage of the pedometer in hopes of walking 10,000 steps a day, which is about five miles. Programs such as "Colorado on the Move" and "Shape Up America" help encourage people to walk 10,000 steps a day to prevent obesity.
The trends for 2006 will focus on achieving and maintaining a healthy weight through small lifestyle changes. By controlling portions, making smart choices and incorporating physical activity into their schedule, people can achieve the weight loss goal they hope for.

It's Great To Be With People Who Believe In the Future
Methuselah Foundation, DC - 16 hours ago CR success has been that I very carefully control my calories and nutrition for six level of about 1350 a day, low enough to maintain a body weight of around
By the time Ray's presentation concluded, I was starting to feel really tired. MR and I get up at 5 am -- NO MATTER WHAT -- because he is a recovering insomniac so sleep hygiene is a big deal to him. Due to late flights, we got to our hotel the night before close to 11 pm, so I had gotten little sleep and then run like a crazy person all day. Add that to some delicious food and a couple glasses of wine and a champagne toast, and I was about ready for a long winter's nap. But we stayed to socialize, and had even more fun with our fellow Three Hundred members. The connections were amazing... I met people from Chapel Hill, NC, where I spent much of my childhood. I met a physician who works at a hospital where I've known some nurses. I met one of my very few fellow female Three Hundred members, a physicist, and her husband, who rescued us from a freezing death by driving us to our hotel so that we didn't have to walk. I wished that we could all get together more often. I feel such a sense of community with my fellow Three Hundred members, even though we come from different places and different professions, even from different countries. It's a big commitment to pledge $1000 for 25 years, and it's not something you do unless you really believe that curing aging is possible. As Ray said, it's great to be with people who believe in the future.
