Why Eating Breakfast Equals Weight Lossby Lisa Nelson RD LNYou’ve heard it before and you’ll hear it again – breakfast is the most important meal of the day. There’s just no way around it.I frequently hear “I don’t have time for breakfast” and “I’m not hungry in the morning”, neither reason negates the importance of eating breakfast every morning. Maybe it’ll be easier to make breakfast a

Did you see that article on MSNBC about living longer?"While the quest for the proverbial Fountain of Youth is endless and typically fruitless, one method known to extend the human lifespan by up to five years has quietly become accepted among leading researchers. The formula is simple: Eat less. It could add years to your life, several experts now say. And done in moderation, it could at least

Way back in December 2005, during one of the positive phases in my weight lost cycle, I posted Afraid to be Thin. I think now I'm dealing with something similar.I was encouraging a friend the other day who was exercising... while I am also getting back into my own exercise routine. She said to me that if I am going to start exercising again that I will have to increase my calorie intake because I

Body weight charts use your body frame size to determine your ideal weight range. The question is how do you determine your body frame size? Are you small-boned? Large-boned? How do you know?Most of the documentation that I have read says to measure the circumference of your wrist to determine your body frame size. My wrist measures 6.25 inches, putting me in the medium frame category

Water helps you feel full, curbs hunger cravings and detoxes the body. Therefore, indirectly, drinking your water will help you lose weight. But how much water should you drink? I've always read to drink eight 8 oz. glasses of water per day. I've also heard drink half of your body weight in ounces. However, recently I read to drink 1 quart of water for every 50 pounds of body weight per day.Math
