Is it possible to get healthy or lose weight without dieting? We’re firmly in the pro-healthy-living but anti-diet camp over here, so if there’s a way to drop unhealthy extra pounds (stress on unhealthy — your bod is probably pretty great as it is) or get healthy without resorting to diets, I’m all ears. The word “diet” has been getting a bad reputation the past few years, and for good reason: Research shows that crash diets, generally defined as eating under 1200 calories a day, are not successful in the long run, and in fact may be detrimental to your health. So how to get healthy? Huge changes to an unhealthy lifestyle can be a daunting prospect, making it difficult to start losing excess weight. Fortunately, Quartz reports that new research from the Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University shows that even just one small lifestyle change can trigger a chain reaction of sorts — small changes lead to small amounts of weight loss, which leads to other small changes, with an overall eff...

This Spring Lose Weight and Actually Keep It Off

The days are getting longer and you are tempted to bare some flesh. You have accumulated rather a lot of it over the winter and it is not a pretty sight. If only you could slim down; but there are so many diets out there you just dont know where to start. Live on a regime of fast foods, fatty snacks, soft drinks and alcohol; and you are likely to be carrying excess weight. Studies on populations worldwide confirm this observation. High in added sugar and fat, this pattern of eating is energy rich, very palatable and leads to overconsumption. There is virtually no limit to the amount of fat that you can accumulate. But it is not just fat that causes fat build up - over-eat any type of food and you lay down fat. To break it down you must under-eat. Exercise helps, but not nearly as much as cutting down on the amount you eat and drink. Go on a faddy diet and lose weight, but once you inevitably stop, it goes back on again and you end up a little fatter than before you started dieting. T...

The no sugar diet is it good for you

A no-sugar diet isnt as simple as cutting out all cakes and sweets. It means eliminating anything that contains sugar, which is almost all processed foods in our supermarkets YES - David Gillespie Author of Sweet Poison: Why Sugar Makes Us Fat (Penguin) People say, “I don’t eat much sugar”, but most of them eat massive amounts without realising. The average person consumes 40 teaspoons per day. If you look at processed foods, there’s sugar in everything. Barbecue sauce is about 55 per cent sugar, fat-free mayonnaise is 30 per cent, yoghurt can contain more sugar than ice-cream.  It’s addictive so the more that’s added, the more we consume. A particular problem is fructose, which has been found to affect our appetite controls, making us eat more than we need. The result isobesity, non-alcoholic liver disease and type 2 diabetes. In 1981, Australia had 200,000 cases of type 2; now we have about 1.4 million. It’s out of control.  I’d tried endless diets b...
