The Rush Limbaugh radio host complained that:<br><blockquote>She demands that everyone basically eat tofu, without calories, fat-free, and cardboard anything, to stop obesity.</blockquote><p>Christie has made it clear that he has no interest in the government dictating what can and can not eat - people but that he did not believe that this is what you are doing Michelle Obama:<br><blockquote>Do not want the Government to decide what can and what you can not eat... I think that Mrs Obama be there encouraging people in the form positive eating well and to exercise and be healthy, I don't have a problem with that.</blockquote><p>The growing obesity crisis is considered each time more as a national problem, rather than a question of people. Huckabee has pointed out that 75% of American youth are not fit for military service, due to excess weight or obesity, saying:<br><blockquote>This is no longer just a health issue, an economic issue. It is becoming a problem of national security.</blockquote><p>What do you think? Is the guilt of persons and their responsibility obesity?

Christian Bale</strong> (Machinest, Batman begins, the fighter)<br>Bale is probably the ultimate prize as both lost more weight and a ton of muscle. The Machinist - probably one of the most astonishing loses to a seen roll - the 6' Bale limiting himself to 121 pounds (loss of 63 pounds) to play an Insomniac, only to pack 100 pounds worth of muscle in 5 months for his role as the Crusader camped. More recently, Bale fell one-third of their body weight to portray Eklund Dicky in the hunt. It is no wonder the boy is grumpy.</p><p><strong>2. Robert De Niro: </strong>(raging bull)<br>Put in an incredible 60 pounds for his role of Jake La Motta in Scorsese classic.</p><p><strong>3. Renee Zelwegger </strong>(Bridget Jones's diary)<br>Move from a size 6 to a size of 14 playing the charming and endearing Bridget Jones. Then he made it all again to his role as a Bridget Jones deeply sad and irritating.</p><p><strong>4. Jared Leto</strong> (Chapter 27)<br>Leto packed in 67 pounds to play the murderer of John Lennon, Mark David Chapman. Far cry from playing to a thin drug addict in Requiem for a dream and one of the greatest athletes of all time in Prefontaine - a biographical film about the legend of middle distance Steve Prefontaine.</p><p><strong>5. Vincent D'Onofrio</strong> (Full Metal Jacket)<br>D'Onofrio gained 70 pounds over a period of seven months for his role in the film of Kubrick war Pvt. Lawrence Leonard.</p><p><strong>6. Matt Damon</strong> (value under fire)<br>Before her role in Good Will Hunting, Damon fell almost 50 pounds for his role as a heroin addict opposite Denzel Washington. A success does not recognize Damon, "went too far." I got sick and not do it again because it was much. At the same time he helped the performance. Do not have to act in everything - was a ruin. I was getting dizzy spells and hot flashes. Damon has also undergone fluctuations - skinny and pale in 1999 The Talented Mr. Ripley to load up the Bourne films, winning 35 then pounds of fat by the informant, followed by muscling for Invictus.</p><p><strong>7. Linda Hamilton</strong> (Terminator 2)<br>Not sure how much muscle you put this role, but he sought to grated - away from her "softer" search series beauty and the beast. 3 hours daily work including; cardio, weights, work of ab and a diet "nonfat". First 90!</p><p><strong>8. Charlize Theron</strong> (Monster)<br>Only in Hollywood is a woman of 20 pounds to become a woman of normal size.</p><p><strong>9. Tom Hanks</strong> (Philadelphia, Castaway)<br>Hanks has managed both the Oscar and double weight loss, falling 26 pounds for his role as winner of an Oscar as a victim of AIDS in Philadelphia. Years later Hanks would be "double" this feat, breaking off 55 pounds for Castaway while at the same time grows an antibarro long locks and beard.</p><p><strong>10. 50 Cent</strong> (things fall apart)<br>The star of hip-hop/actor to the headlines last year when he went from 214 to 160 to play a football player who was diagnosed with cancer. It did so with a liquid diet and copious amounts of walking on the treadmill.</p><p>For many Hollywood stars, his obsessive dedication of the border to their profession often pays dividends payment awards night.</p><p>I beg the question though; When is "too much".? Subjected to this kind of metamorphosis they can have two short- and long-term health consequences.</p><br /><p><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/diet-blog/~3/kTiS6SR0ntc/the_transformation_oscars.php" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>ed ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08603644274469021232noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227108788169699062.post-47470854708313719652011-03-06T15:07:00.001-05:002011-03-06T15:07:55.839-05:00<br /> <p>Many people hit the gym every week in an attempt to have a body fully shaped. As most of them neglect or ignore is the <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a>of bodybuilding. The importance of a proper bodybuilding <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> is equal to the importance of the training routine. It is no wonder that does not make any progress if, for example, only exercise and eat all what you want, always that, please. A correct <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> of bodybuilding should cover aspects such as planning of meals when it comes on time and as regards its content.</p><p>If you are interested in the creation of the body must forget have three consistent meals a day and the switch from four to six small meals. When they spend a few hours from the last supper, the body enters a catalytic State and begins to make provisions for "bad times". This means that it will begin to convert the nutrients in fat deposits. For this reason, it is recommended to have smaller, but often rather rare and consistent meals the.</p><p>Another aspect which is very important in a bodybuilding <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> is the fact that the bodybuilder should consume all essential nutrients. Bodybuilding <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> not should deprive him or her anything and you must include the appropriate amounts of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Not respecting this principles leads to very common errors because bodybuilders or they eat too much or too less than something. As a general for the muscle mass development rule the <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> which should be composed of 40% protein, 40% carbohydrate and 20% fat. These proportions can however vary depending on the individual characteristics and a nutritionist is more right to offer you a broad <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> of bodybuilding.</p><p>Another common error comes from the fact that people fail to realize that there are several types of carbohydrates and fats and some of them is recommended while others should be avoided. For example, complex carbohydrates release energy for a longer period of time and sugars which only give a short energy boost. Fats are also a good example: there are good and bad fats and sometimes people eat the bad guys in place. Another error that takes place in bodybuilding <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> is the fact that people eat too much or too less protein or the fact that totally exclude fats needed in the <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a>.</p><p>A bodybuilding <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> should be balanced and should provide, in addition to the three macro nutrients, all the vitamins and minerals. The importance of drinking enough water in the <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> of bodybuilding should also stress.</p> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br /> <p>Read more information about <a target="_new" href="http://www.natural-fatloss.com/bodybuilding-supplements.htm">Bodybuilding Supplements</a>.

Has he tried every new <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> that hit the news in the hope that it will be making it for you? You're not the only one. If s <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a>worked then there would be no market for them I guess. Most of the people who need to lose weight real tired of trying something new every few months just to see your initial weight loss strain or, even worse, increase.</p><p>Make it better? Fail to be surprised by the fact that enterprises of <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> does not tell you the truth, the truth and nothing but the truth. If they did it that what they hear and read is things like ' this <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> will see you to lose pounds but only if he makes it to the rest of his life ' or 'this <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> will revolutionize the bad eating habits, but I will never eat a meal of Plaza' or even ' this <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> will lose pounds, but we can not promise not to disturb your body if you do it too '.</p><p>Fact is that most s <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a>will work in the short term. But they are not designed to last a lifetime or that used to always. It is like eating a candy bar (and we all know that). You need a sugar rush, get one and then leads to buy another. Candy manufacturer knows what not to do a single purchase reason why keep make the bars in the first place.</p><p><a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">Diet</a>s They are not so different and are not companies of <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> . Part of the scams that people of the wind is the fact that the <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> companies really do not want to lose weight permanently. They don't want to find the route that revolves around his life. If did it not go back more.</p><p>And... they don't so much money as they do. In the United States only those people who want to lose weight spent some 50 million dollars a year on <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a>s, <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> books and products from the <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> . Now you can see why don't want suspension of purchases!</p><p>Really it doesn't matter if they lie to you, or if they are scam artists. Fact is that the industry of the <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> is not the place to go to obtain effective <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a>s and <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a>ing solutions. What you really need is a long-term perspective more that look at you, their <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> and their general State of health and fitness and work from there. This is the way to achieve permanent solutions and achieve the circle of the <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> after <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a> after <a href="http://bit.ly/h65R7K">diet</a>.</p> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br /> <p>Would you like help to lose weight or stubborn fat stomach?

My formal education nutrition came mainly in the mid-1990s when low in fats still reigned supreme and low carbohydrate diet was a fashion and a dangerous.</p><p>Fast forward to 7-8 years at the top of popularity low in carbohydrate and insulin was the evil responsible for our growing waist hormone. The rationale was simple and seemed so logical. Eating lots of carbohydrates - spike your insulin - insulin promotes fat storage and ready! Get fat. I was buying.</p><p>Low carbohydrate diet gurus repeating this message for many years - but he has misinterpreted insulin?<br></p><p>This is not to know the most intricate biological details of the effect of insulin in the body; However credit 3 very smart individuals to help dissect the complicated and often misrepresented insulin role: Alan Aragon, James Krieger and "carb Sane". A time ago, Krieger wrote a series of five phenomenal part called insulin: an undeserved bad reputation.</p><p><strong>1. A high Carb Diet leads to chronically elevated levels of insulin</strong><br>Eat a meal high in carbohydrates only temporarily raises the level of insulin in healthy individuals. This means that any affects fat loss of insulin suppression is virtually non-existent, as the ability to store fat does not exceed the capacity of free it - assuming that they do not consume more calories the spend.</p><p><strong>2 Carbohydrate units of insulin units of fat storage</strong><br>The body has the ability to store fat under a variety of levels of insulin. Insulin mitigate the effect of a hormone of fat called "hormone sensitive lipase" (LAV). Fat, however it does too in the absence of high levels of insulin. Therefore fat overeating will still not allow loss of fat despite low levels of insulin.</p><p><strong>3 Insulin make you hungry</strong><br>Not only is it a false idea, but it is the opposite may be true. Appetite is a very complex issue in any case and indicate a single factor is ridiculous default.</p><p><strong>4 Carbohydrates and carbohydrate unit of insulin</strong><br>Many are surprised to learn that protein can also stimulate the production of insulin. This is not really lost in the crowd of ardent carb low - with many of them promote low in carbohydrates and low protein to prevent the production of insulin (shakes head). In this study despite almost two times the consumption of carbohydrates and much larger response of sugar in the blood, the insulin response was actually slightly less in the largest group of carbohydrates.</p>It is a question complicated - plain and simple. Who says weight gain has a singular cause lies to your face. Weight management is multivariate and multi-layered. I suggest you take a look detailed rebuttals to the entire series if you have a great interest.<p>Here are some challenges to the number of site of Jimmy Moore.

The researchers then supplement this diet with certain foods such as potatoes, fruit and wheat. The ADHD symptoms declined by 78 per cent of them. When she was reintroduced alleged problems of food in the diet, two-thirds of the children suffered a relapse into symptoms.<p>The authors of the study had to say about the results;<br><blockquote>A strictly supervised restricted elimination diet is a valuable tool to assess if the ADHD is induced by food... We think that it should be considered intervention dietary in all children with ADHD, provided that the parents are willing to follow a diet restricted elimination of diagnosis for a period of five weeks, and expert supervision is always available.</blockquote><p>Children with ADHD have problems focusing, paying attention and may be hyperactive.</p><p>Food sugary for a long time were considered the main culprit when it ADHD, but the evidence in this Department is low.

Because entomologists of the University of Wageningen Dutch - when the investigation is under way on how to make more acceptable - insects make a convincing argument to encourage humans to rethink food or lobster worms as a source of possible protein.</p><p>With an additional 3 million people are estimated to share the planet with us by the year 2050, land and other resources necessary for animal husbandry becomes scarce. Insects, might be (humanely, for lovers of animals) in his garage eating their food waste.</p><p>I'm not ready to order a taco of grasshopper, but I can certainly see the logic.</p><p>And if you think that it is absolute, it would never allow a six-legged creature as cross his lips, consider these statistics:</p><blockquote>In the United States, more processed foods contain small amounts of insects, within the limits established by the food and drug administration. Chocolate, the FDA limit is 60 fragments of insects per 100 grams. Peanut butter may be up to 30 parts of insects per 100 grams, and fruit juice can have five eggs of the fruit fly and larvae of one or two per 250 ml (little more than a cup). We also use many insect products to dye our foods, such as the cochineal red dye in imitation, Campari and sweet crab sticks. So some of the way as in the capture of six-legged creatures are already a regular part of the diet.</blockquote><p>For the most part, are already eating them.</p><p>I am an omnivore, but probably would be vegetable before making a part of my diet to errors.

Both are risk factors for heart attacks and stroke. </P><P>Unlike some vegetarian diets which permit milk and cheese, a vegan diet excludes all animal foods, including dairy products. </P><P>But the new study claims a vegan diet - usually touted for its health benefits - is critically low in several key nutrients, such as vitamin B12 and omega-3 fatty acids, prompting experts to recommend vegans augment their diet, or take vitamin supplements. </P><P>Published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry</EM>, researchers reviewed dozens of articles on the biochemistry of vegetarianism over the past 30 years, and found people who avoid all animal foods may have an increased risk of developing blood clots and atherosclerosis. </P><P>High cholesterol can lead to atherosclerosis, which occurs when fatty material builds up and hardens (forming calcium deposits) along the walls of the arteries. The U.S. National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health warns that atherosclerosis can eventually block arteries.</P><P>A vegan or vegetarian diet is widely believed to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, unlike a meat-heavy diet, i.e. consuming too much saturated fat, which raises cholesterol and leads to heart disease. </P><P>But the researchers contend a vegan diet lacks sufficient iron, zinc, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids; causing vegans to have elevated blood levels of homocysteine and low levels of HDL (or "good") cholesterol. Both are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. </P><P>Homocysteine is an amino acid found in the blood; high levels have been linked to heart disease. According to the American Heart Association, homocysteine levels are "strongly influenced" by diet.</P><P>To avoid the increased heart risks, and in order to get sufficient B12 and omega-3, the researchers recommend consuming oily fish, like salmon, certain nuts, such as walnuts, eggs, fortified milk, or taking supplements. </P><P>Image credit: etnies</EM></P><br /><p><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/diet-blog/~3/cSPtlRfucxE/vegans_have_high_heart_risks.php" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>ed ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08603644274469021232noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227108788169699062.post-61946397060073488522011-02-16T18:28:00.000-05:002011-02-16T18:28:00.238-05:00 <P><IMG class=right alt="business woman.jpg" src="/business20woman.jpg" width=200 height=150></P><P>A recent study has linked children's weight to the amount of time their mothers were away at work growing up. </P><P>The researchers found that the total number of years mothers were employed had a small but growing influence on their children's BMI.</P>The research team studied body mass index (BMI) data from 990 children in grades 3, 5 and 6 who lived in cities across the country.The total number of years mothers were employed away from home had a cumulative influence on their children's rising BMI.The findings were strongest among children in 5th and 6th grades.Surprisingly, changes in children's physical activity, time spent unsupervised, and time spent watching TV didn't explain the link between maternal employment and children's BMI.The time of day moms worked wasn't significantly associated with children's BMI.Although the reasons for the findings are not crystal clear, the authors suggest that one possibility is the limited time for grocery shopping and food preparation - opening the door for higher consumption of pre-packaged and fast foods. <P>Makes sense to me. The cultural shift of family dynamics has no doubt had an impact on how children are raised. With over 70% of American women with young children in the workforce, it's easy to see the potential impact of this trend. </P><P>It's a struggle to try and make it all work for double income parents and single parents alike.

This may be first thing in the morning, where you can perhaps eat a healthy breakfast together. Making sure you pack a healthy lunch, and have healthy snacks on hand for when the children get home, takes care of most eating occasions. </P><P>Dinners can be tricky - long workdays can render one exhausted and not feeling much like cooking.

And, despite being "reliably diagnosed," fewer than 25% of those with depression have effective access to treatment, with many sufferers avoiding treatment due to the social stigma. </P><P>Image credit: John Kannenberg</EM></P><br /><p><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/diet-blog/~3/AMswWnO3Md4/trans-fat_worsens_risk_of_depression.php" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>ed ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08603644274469021232noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227108788169699062.post-51891561001318361992011-02-16T11:48:00.000-05:002011-02-16T11:49:24.367-05:00 <P><IMG class=right alt=graciediet.jpg src="/graciediet.jpg" width=200 height=279></P><P>The Gracie family are well known for their achievements in Martial Arts. And, one secret of their success is the strict diet they follow, apparently. </P><P>Grand Master, Carlos Gracie, developed the Gracie Diet based on his observations (over 65 years) of the effects of various food combinations.</P>The basis of this book is spacing meals at least four and a half hours apart, and food combining - something I first heard about years ago when my mum when on "Fit for Life</EM>." However, it's not an idea I'm particularly fond of. <P>A study, published in the International Journal of Obesity</EM> in 2000, looked at of the benefit of food combining for weight loss, and found no evidence that it was effective.</P><P>In the book, foods are grouped according to the digestive enzymes needed to break them down. This means that only foods from compatible groups can be eaten together at a meal, as a way of reducing the body's workload, easing the digestive process, and therefore essential functions, such as training, healing injuries, and fighting disease, can take precedence.</P><P>Unfortunately, even though this sounds great on paper, there is very little science</EM> to back it up.</P><P>The book is also promoted as a "family affair," however I feel it would be quite difficult for children to adjust to this way of eating. And, it seems unnecessary for them, too.</P><P>I have to say the main concept behind this diet, is a no-no for me. I don't like diets which complicate matters for people, because it makes being "healthy" seem unattainable.</P>However, I also don't think the diet is a dangerous one. So, if this sounds like your kind of thing, here are some of the ideas I like about the Gracie Diet: It encourages spacing between meals - for most people that is a good thing, forcing them to eat less. However, it's probably not suitable for diabetics, or those who train vigorously. Almost all foods can be eaten (but they do have to be combined correctly).On the official website there are recipes, how-to videos, and lots of other tools and tips. The Interactive Gracie Diet Table is very useful for getting to grips with the food groups, and which foods can be eaten together. Eating right vs. eating junk food is always going to leave you feeling healthier and more energetic.Exercise is encouraged.<P>The Gracie Diet is available from Amazon for $30.</P><br /><p><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/diet-blog/~3/7UUMgKftq4U/the_gracie_diet.php" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>ed ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08603644274469021232noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3227108788169699062.post-45242307369330603442011-02-16T03:44:00.000-05:002011-02-16T03:44:00.749-05:00 <BODY readability="0"><P>This is a guest post by Nicolas D'Alleva.</EM></P><P>While in the midst of the winter season, snowstorms or other problems that Mother Nature could cause may get in the way of your daily workout. Take advantage of the winter. There are ways right around your house to get a great work out when stuck in due to bad weather. </P><P>Three great ways to get a workout in the snow are:</P><STRONG>Shovel the fat away</STRONG>: Shoveling is a great way to start your day. Instead of your normal morning workout, get a shovel out and clear your driveway. Maybe even offer to shovel a neighbor’s driveway too. Shoveling gets all your arm and leg muscles working. It is an intense work out that will help speed up your heart rate and burn the calories you want gone. But remember to use your legs so you don’t hurt your back.<STRONG>Take a jog in the snow</STRONG>: Running and jogging in the snow gives you a great work out. It takes more energy for you to move your legs in the snow allowing you to burn more calories and shed that fat. Please make sure that the snow is soft and light. The last thing you want to do is slip and fall on ice while out on a run.<STRONG>Exercise never goes out of style</STRONG>: Get out those old workout tapes and put them to good use. Sure the trainers may wear some out of date clothes, but the exercises still help you tone up and lose weight. You’ll even get a kick out of the things you used to do and wear to work out. Relive your glory days and exercise while doing it.<P>So when the bad weather starts to get you down, remember that there are still plenty of things you can do to get your workout. This is the only time of the year that you’ll be able to do some of them. Take advantage of that and start shoveling your fat away. </P>Nicolas D'Alleva is the owner of Specialty Answering Service, a nationwide phone answering service for businesses and professionals.

These days most college campus dining halls provide healthy options. Just remember: even though dining halls might be all-you-can eat, you shouldn't take that as a challenge! Eat in moderation, and don't turn eating into a hobby. Simply avoid student union fast food joints, residence hall vending machines, and late night study snacks.</P><P><STRONG>Listen to Your Stomach</STRONG></P><P>Just eat what your body needs at the moment. When you feel satisfied, simply stop eating. Don't keep eating until your stomach feels full. You can avoid a lot of calories with this healthy strategy. Before you get a second helping, ask yourself if you're really</EM> still hungry.</P><P>You don't have to completely give up eating ice cream and cake. Just eat them only once in a while and in moderation. Eat them slowly and savor them. You only have taste buds on your tongue, so make sure you chew! You'll consume less food by eating it slowly. Also, if possible, use a small plate for meals. People tend to fill up large plates with more food than is necessary.</P><P><STRONG>Nutrition</STRONG></P><P>Eat a balance of vegetarian proteins or lean meats and fish. In terms of carbohydrates, stick to high fiber carbs and whole grains. And although you've probably heard it a million times before, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.</P><P><STRONG>Food and Drinks to Avoid</STRONG></P>The skin on chicken meat, which is loaded with fat.Refined carbohydrates, high-fat foods, and high-sugar foods.Sauces in Chinese food, which are typically loaded with fat.Fried foods.High calorie desserts.Obviously, don't eat junk food. They call it junk food for a reason!Some coffee drinks have as many calories as a meal should contain.Whole milk<P><STRONG>Substitutes</STRONG></P><P>Mayonnaise is very fatty and ketchup typically includes a lot of unhealthy high fructose corn syrup. Use mustard when it makes sense. Cheese is fattening, so if you're going to add cheese to your food, use grated Parmesan; it's packed with flavor so you use a lot less of it. Salsa and vinegar are also good choices for adding some flavor to food. If you're going to eat pizza, make sure it has thin crust. Thin crust pizza is very tasty and contains far fewer carbs than deep dish varieties.</P><P>Some dishes at dining halls seems to be healthy because they include a few vegetables; however, many of these may still include a lot of fat. Cooked vegetables are often doused with butter. Talk with the dining hall head cook and find out which dishes contain a lot of fat.</P><P><STRONG>Salad Bar</STRONG></P><P>If the dining hall has a salad bar, make low calorie salads. Pile on the dark leafy lettuces and other vegetables. Avoid creamy dressings. Select a low calorie dressing such as a vinaigrette and use just enough to lightly coat the salad ingredients.</P><P><STRONG>Snacks</STRONG></P><P>If you're determined to have a snack, then try these healthy alternatives. (But not all at once!):</P>Canned fruit in light syrupFresh fruitNuts (in small quantities)SoupCeleryLow fat yogurtGraham crackersPretzelsDried fruit<P><STRONG>Unhealthy Snacks</STRONG></P><P>Here's a really good tip for avoiding unhealthy snacks: Don't buy them! Eating out of an open box of cookies or crackers can amount to 500 to 800 calories in one snack session. If you do choose an unhealthy snack, take out only a small portion and put the container away.</P><P><STRONG>Alcohol</STRONG></P><P>Alcohol is packed with calories. One beer contains approximately 150 of them. If you're going to drink, have a light beer. Besides the calories, alcohol lowers the amount of fat your body burns to make energy. Instead of being stored as fat, most of the alcohol is converted to a substance known as acetate. When acetate levels rise, your body burns more acetate and less fat. If you're going to drink, consider having an occasional beer or glass of wine (that is, of course, if you're of drinking age).</P><P><STRONG>Late Night Eating</STRONG></P><P>A study conducted in 2005 showed that eating between 8 pm and 4 am was a leading contributor to weight gain. So don't have a fourth meal!</P><P>While going to college, study, have some fun, have an exercise routine, and eat healthy.</P>Brian Jenkins has been a member of the BrainTrack writing team since 2008.
