Food aroma changes could lead to weight loss [Slimming tea]

According to a new study, stronger aromas may lead to smaller bites - in a finding that may help control portion sizes.The study by researchers at the Top Institute of Food and Nutrition fitted 10 people aged 26 to 50 with a nose piece that was able to increase and decrease the aroma intensity of a custard.

Patients were also fitted with a feeding tube that pumped the custard into their mouths, which they could control using a button.According to the Atlantic, as the aroma increased in intensity, people took smaller bites.Bite size was associated with the aroma presented for that bite and also for subsequent bites (especially for the second to last bite)," says Rene de Wijk, the lead author, according to WebMD.

The reason for the smaller bites could be that people are instinctively repulsed by strong odors and try to limit the exposure to the senses.Researchers hope that the new study could help people to control portion sizes and, ultimately, contribute to weight loss.

"This study suggests that manipulating the odor of food could result in a 5-10% decrease in intake per bite," reads the study, according to Yahoo News. "Combining aroma control with portion control could fool the body into thinking it was full with a smaller amount of food and aid weight loss.The study will be published in the journal Flavour.

Northwood Church members work at weight loss challenge [Slimming tea]

Northwood Church in Keller will have a community-wide event that will feature health screenings and a presentation by Phil and Amy Parham, authors of the "90-Day Fitness Challenge.The event is a culmination in the church's "Losing It" series. For the month of February, Northwood's Sunday services have featured contestants from "The Biggest Loser" talking about the connection between physical and spiritual health. But perhaps of most interest to the congregation will be the results of a four-week weight loss challenge between two teams of its members, including the senior pastor Bob Roberts.

The genesis of the event was a Bible study-fitness class at the church taught by personal trainer Laurie Graves, a Northwood member.Roberts said he wanted to spread the message to the community, many of whom also are battling weight issues.It's not just a matter of being overweight,he said. "It's what it does to self image, your health. And it translates to other things, even to a skinny person. What do you have in your life that's creating defeat

Graves said the pastor took the program up another notch when he offered to weigh himself during worship services.Graves and Josh Fender, another personal trainer, formed two teams of church members to compete for the biggest percentage weight loss for the team as a whole. Each Sunday during the competition, team members are weighing in. Fender is training four men, including the pastor. Graves is training two couples.Graves has spent much of her life in fitness and weight loss after overcoming her own weight issues.

In her teens, Graves said she battled anorexia and bulimia before heading in the opposite direction and putting on pounds.

Weight loss contest begins [Slimming tea]

A new year brings new goals, and for some people that goal includes weight loss.Thanks to the Uintah Recreation District that goal could become a reality for 10 lucky contestants of the second annual “Let’s Lose It” weight loss contest.Hopeful contestants had to apply, write an essay and complete an interview.

The contest will last six months with the 10 contestants undergoing classes with Jeff Winterton who will help them to exercise in a healthy and safe way. They will also have to attend meetings with Joyce Buhler, the dietitian at Ashley Regional Medical Center.We hope that by offering this program it will motivate people to lose weight in a way they can keep it off,” Buhler said. “I help them assess the behaviors they need to change, what energy and other nutrients there are and how they need to alter them.

“Some people’s behaviors that need to change are eating in front of the TV, eating when they’re bored and it’s important to identify so they can change it,” she said.As hard as it is to lose weight it is even harder to keep it off, Buhler said. It’s important for every individual looking to have a healthy weight to identify their behavior that needs to change and to remember there is no magic bullet to get weight off, she said.Weigh ins will be held each month, and at that time one contestant will be eliminated from the contest.

The one who had lost the least amount of weight and the one who lost the most each month will win a prize, such as a bike that was donated by Altitude Cycle or a Treadmill donated by Basin Sports.The grand prize, for the contestant who loses the most weight by June, will be a resort vacation to Red Mountain Resort near St. George.The weigh ins will be posted publicly on the “Let’s Lose It” Facebook page, and people are asked to participate even if they aren’t in the contest, by going to the Facebook page and posting their own progress.

Weight loss increases veterans’ quality of life [Slimming tea]

A group of local veterans recently completed a weight loss program at the Oscar G. Johnson VA Medical Center in Iron Mountain. The Move! Program is designed by the VA's National Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention to help Veterans lose weight, keep it off and improve their health.

Since starting the program, these Veterans, as a group, lost 226 pounds, or 10.3 percent of their original weight.I am now motivated to walk five miles a day, and before I couldn't walk very far," said John Schumacher, who has participated in the program for eight months and lost 90 pounds. "Now my blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides are all normal.Roger Newhouse, another veteran who participated in the program for six months and lost 50 pounds since starting.I use to be on so many meds from being overweight, 29 pills a day, and now most of them are gone," he said. "Now I only take one to two, and I like the changes a lot."

"The Move! Program educates Veterans on how to incorporate healthy lifestyle changes and food choices, which can be maintained for long term success," said Andrea Millan, a dietician at the VA Medical Center and Move! coordinator. "Weight loss is one benefit of a healthier lifestyle, but improvements in health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol as well as an overall improved quality of life is the ultimate goal."

The Move! weight loss program is also held at each of the Medical Center's seven Community Based Outpatient Clinics located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and northern Wisconsin.Any Veterans interested in the Move! program may call 1-800-215-8262, ext. 32160, or talk to their VA physician or nurse.

Fraudulent clinical trials [Slimming tea]

The BBB has received complaints on one company advertising on the Internet, noting that people who are interested in shedding pounds should “enroll” in their program, pay $144 up front, then take a special new weight loss pill every day for two years.

For their trouble, the company promises to refund the $144 after the first month and compensate consumers $319.73 each month. Complainants allege that they paid the required $144, received pills, and never heard from the company again; they never received a refund, compensation or additional pills.The BBB has received complaints on one company advertising on the Internet, noting that people who are interested in shedding pounds should “enroll” in their program, pay $144 up front, then take a special new weight loss pill every day for two years.

Remote weight-loss coaching may rival in-person counseling [Slimming tea]

Weight-loss programs offering support via telephone and the Web work about as well as in-person counseling to help obese people lose weight, a study has found.

Two intervention programs were compared with a control group in the two-year study released in the New England Journal of Medicine, in which 415 obese men and women participated. They were randomly placed in a weight-loss program that offered support remotely, via the Web, telephone and email; in a two-year program that included in-person support in addition to the remote support; or in a control group that encouraged independent weight loss.

The remote-support group featured education, worksheets, tools that helped study participants keep track of their goals and progress, and feedback. In-person coaches supported diet and exercise efforts and goals and delved into ambivalent feelings about losing weight. Primary-care providers contributed support as well during routine visits.

Men who have sex with animals may have an increased risk of penile cancer, the control had lost an average of about 1.8 pounds, but the remote group and the in-person group had similar average weight losses: 10.1 pounds and 11.2 pounds, respectively. At the two-year mark 18.8 percent of people in the control group had lost 5 percent of their starting body weight, compared with 38.2 percent of those in the remote group and 41.4 percent of those in the in-person group. Achieving and maintaining a 5 percent drop in body weight is considered an achievement among many health professionals, because it can lower the risk of some weight-related illnesses such as cardiovascular disease and type-2 diabetes.

Naturegift is Thailand's best-selling diet aid [Slimming tea]

Naturegift is Thailand's best-selling diet aid. The product is a coffee drink that helps to burn fat when users follow a healthy eating plan. Since 2008, the brand has promoted annual weight loss campaigns with a beauty-mission theme. The theme for 2011 was to be "Thailand's happiest weight loss challenge" and aimed to recruit 500 people nationwide to lose a collective 2,554 kilos within 60 days (2,554 was significant as this was the Thai year as denoted in the Buddist calander.)

Naturegift wanted to promote this weight loss challenge to a target audience of males and females, aged between 20 and 45, with the aim of securing 500 participant registrations.The primary marketing challenge was to drive traffic to a new website community where visitors discover more about the challenge and register their interest and receive news and updates about the campaign. Naturegift recognised that consumers were unlikely to visit without strong impetus to do so.

Analysis of consumer attitudes towards diet and weight-loss revealed that people believe weight lss can only be achieved if the follow stringent diets, punishing exercise regimes resort to the use diet pills. Thais did not believe that there was a natural weight loss solution that did not involve any kind of self-inflicted torture.In Thailand a tight belt is associated with a slim figure, the tighter the belt, the slimmer the figure. In order to drive traffic to the site, Naturegift needed to peak the curiosity of the audience. Consumers had to be compelled to seek out the website and ultimately search for information about the campaign. Ricki Lake, Nancy Grace Weight Loss on 'DWTS' Impressive

The solution was to wrap two large square buildings with giant belts, one black to represent the male figure one red for the female, and use visual techniques to make the buildings appear more slim and shapely. The buildings were located at one of the most heavily travelled traffic areas in Bangkok and get up to 300,000 people passing them daily.

Ricki Lake, Nancy Grace Weight Loss on 'DWTS' ImpressiveFor her part, Nancy Grace's goal was not to lose weight, but that hasn't stopped her from losing 23 pounds so far during her tenure on the show. If she makes it to the finals, she plans to wear a leotard. As long as it's not booze and hotpants, viewers will be oka Voters approved Proposition 215, or the California Compassionate Use Act

Ricki Lake's goal was to lose weight before shopping for her wedding dress, and so far she has lost 20 pounds. There is no doubt she will be thrilled when it comes time to find the dress of her dreams.

The women aren't the only ones who have great weight loss on DWTS, either. Both Rob Kardashian and Chaz Bono experienced weight loss this season.

While it's obviously tough to keep up an active lifestyle after leaving Dancing with the Stars, hopefully losing the weight will be a jumpstart to a healthier lifestyle for all the contestants like it seemed to be for Kirstie Alley last year. Nancy Grace is probably getting close to the end of her time on the show while everybody fully expects to see Ricki Lake in the finals.
