Some of the diet methods being done today are just over the top, but can we be surprised with celebrities and their need to be thin? A new fad is currently making rounds today, which said that we should add charcoal to our foods so we can stop eating more than we should.

But if they are going to put charcoal on my meals, I think I’ll altogether stop eating. Combining charcoal to meals is the new dietary tactic of Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding.

She said that the charcoal is not the kind used in grilling, but a special kind of charcoal she got from a health food shop. It is…

Popular fast food chain McDonald’s is now claiming that they are the kind of fast food restaurant where you can see healthy foods on their menus. Should we believe them or not? According to Cindy Goody, a McDonald’s nutritionist, all foods from McDonald’s fits a diet for a healthy and active lifestyle. She said that because of their varied menus, customers can choose healthy foods that will suit their lifestyles.

In part, I agree with this. It is usually the customers and consumers who choose what they eat, which will eventually lead them to good or bad health. But can we really believe that McDonald’s is the one that would lead…

We all know that low-cal regular foods don’t actually make us lose weight, but make us gain more. How ironic is that right? The same, however, goes for your dogs. If you’re trying to make them lose weight, beware. Low-cal dog foods aren’t actually contributing to your dog’s losing weight.

Recent studies showed that diet pet food doesn’t actually help our dogs to drop pounds, but they contribute to their weight problems. According to the Journal of the American Veterinary Association, one cup of diet pet food can contain up to 200 calories. If your dog eats approximately three cups a day then he’s chugging down about 600 calories.

So, if your…

If you can improve the nutritional benefits of junk foods, then you’re on your way to becoming a food messiah. The food industry has recently reached out to White House and said that they are ready to improve the nutrition of their products.

But of course, if we are to believe that companies will cut down on their junk food production, that would be a total waste of effort. Companies are only ready to follow certain legislations if there’s something for them too.

The White House is working on putting healthier stuff on shelves, but a spokesman for Grocery Manufacturers Association said that the industry can very well produce healthier stuff on…

Incision-free bariatric surgery has been the leading medical procedure for losing weight these days. But according to new research, there’s now a surgery-free procedure that is making the rounds.

The procedure, called the Gastric Mind Band Hypnosis, is fast becoming popular in North America. In fact, a clinic in Washington charges for the procedure a staggering amount of $1,400. The procedure has a “pre-surgery” where a patient will be counseled by talking about her food choices. During the final session, the patient will be brought to an operating room. But instead of injecting the patient with anesthesia, someone has already put the patient under hypnosis. Mere hours later, the patient will…

Who would have thought that we would arrive at a time where the future of the nation would like on the hands of an obese or healthy politician? In the last several years, studies have shown that a politician’s weight has become a big factor to whether or not the public will vote for him or not again.

Can you recall Mike Huckabee? The one politician who had to lose 120 pounds to be able to be reelected? He mentioned it quite a bit during his campaign; and true enough, I sometimes think there’s also logic behind there. I think what the public is trying to impart is that they don’t…
