Medifast - Is it really working ?

I've been using Medifast for a 2 months now, it is really working.

Unfortunately, obesity is a real issue with my job. I used MediFast about 4 years ago and lost 52 pounds in 3 months time. 

I must say, I was hungry all day long...


Is it really worth it ??

Brown fat - New kid n the block !!!


Currently, the only safe way to activate brown fat is to stay cold , however, the only safe way to activate brown fat is to remain cold enough to be on the verge of shivering… for a long period of time.

This recreates the scenario that led to the evolution of brown fat: life-threatening cold in creatures that couldn’t put on clothes to stay warm.


It’s important to maintain a proper balance of brown fat in the body.

If you’re carrying too much or too little weight, not only are the calorie-burning benefits mostly negated, but you become more vulnerable to diseases such as Type 2 diabetes.

Generally, a lean form is most ideal to maintain the body’s energy balance, yet according to Brown, it is unclear whether brown fat is the cause of leanness or its result.

Soy foods reduce sperm numbers ??


A new study shows that a regular diet of even modest amounts of food containing soy may halve sperm concentrations.
Th scientists found 41 million fewer sperm per millilitre of semen after just one portion every two days.
Those news are not new , animal studies have suggested that large quantities of soy chemicals in food could affect fertility, but other studies looking at consumption in humans have had contradictory findings.

Who Killed HealthCare?


According to information released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on June 24, 2007, about 43.6 million people in the United States, or 14.8 percent of the population, had no health insurance in 2006.

The finding, based on a survey of 100,000 people, is lower than previous federal estimates of 46 million. The estimate is based on those who did not have insurance at the time of the interview. About 54.5 million people in the country, or 18.6 percent of the population, had no insurance for at least part of 2006.

Whatever the exact numbers, there is obviously a very serious problem with health care provision in the U.S. In fact, dozens.

What are flavonoids ??


Flavonoids are water-soluble plant pigments that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can counteract damage to tissues.

Students from UCLA made the conclusion based on a study of the dietary habits of smokers with and without lung cancer.

The flavonoids that appeared to be most effective were catechin (found in strawberries and green and black teas), kaempferol (Brussels sprouts and apples) and quercetin, (beans, onions and apples).

Flavonoids may protect against lung cancer by stopping the development of blood vessels that tumors need to grow and spread.

They may also stop cancer cells from growing, allowing a naturally programmed cell death, or apoptosis, to occur.

Do you reccomend Atkins Diet ?


high-protein ? high-fat ? very low-carbohydrate regimen ?

Atkins Diet emphasizes meat, cheese, and eggs, while discouraging foods such as bread, pasta, fruit, and sugar.

People with diabetes taking insulin are at risk of becoming hypoglycemic if they do not eat appropriate foods.

Also, persons who exercise every day may get low energy levels and muscle fatigue from low carbohydrate intake.
