Even After Weight Loss, Fat Cells Remain
Slimming Down Makes Fat Cells Smaller, but Doesn’t Get Rid of Them

Adults have about the same number of fat cells in their body constantly, even after losing a significant amount of weight, Swedish researchers say.

Dairy Products Do Not Help in Weight Loss: Research
Obesity and over-weight are common issues that many try and battle. The solution is either through diet, supplements, vitamins, ayurvedic medicines or through workouts in the gym, morning walks etc. Who wouldn’t want to shed weight easily?
A scientific review from the journal Nutrition Reviews has revealed that people who consume dairy products with the belief that dairy products apparently end up gaining weight or show no effect with respect to body weight or body fat. The observational studies have found that a dairy product actually leads to weight gain. This was found by researchers Amy Joy Lanou of the University of North Carolina at Asheville and Neal Barnard with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine in Washington, DC by assessing 49 clinical trials from 1966 to 2007 on the dilemma of loosing weight.
Out of the 49 randomized controlled studies, 2 showed weight gain and 41 showed no effect. The advertisements which display that dairy products help in losing weight are somewhere untrue. Researchers have issued a warning stating that the dairy products and other calcium food items would not help you shed weight; instead you could end up gaining weight.
Amy Joy Lanou, Ph.D., an assistant professor at the University of North Carolina at Asheville and the lead author of the new paper said, “A thorough analysis of the scientific literature shows that dairy industry claims about weight loss have no factual basis”. Amy added, “Consumers who see ads featuring slim celebrities and add dairy to their diets in hopes of losing weight are likely to gain weight instead. Even children who consume low-fat milk are at risk for unhealthy weight gain”.
This study is going to directly affect multimillion-dollar dairy industry and advertising campaigns like those by Brooke Shields, Glenn Close and other celebrities.

Weight-loss school changes the course of teen’s life
The kids at Carol Oocumma’s school used to call her “Earthquake.”
The tall teenager with dark brown hair and deep brown eyes would seek comfort from the teasing by raiding the refrigerator.
She would spend afternoons eating leftover fry bread and fried chicken as she watched TV, and sneak candy bars into her room after her family had gone to bed.
By the time Oocumma reached eighth grade and enrolled in September at Wellspring Academy, a weight-loss boarding school in Brevard, N.C., she carried 270 pounds on her 5-foot-8 frame.
Oocumma’s story is not so different from many children in the United States, where more than one-third of children are either obese or at risk of becoming obese, putting them at increased risk for diabetes, hypertension and stroke, among other diseases.

Bariatric surgery is no cure for diabetes
As obesity and being overweight become the new normal in our society, many Americans are turning to weight-loss surgery.
Some weight-loss surgeries might be considered more drastic than others based on whether sections of the stomach and intestine are removed versus an adjustable band placed around the stomach to reduce its size. The different surgeries offer greater or lesser degrees of weight loss.

He woke up to a big problem and shed 100 pounds
Randy Eilering of Arlington Heights, Ill., knew he had to lose weight when he woke up one day and struggled to get out of bed, feeling big and awkward. He was only 25 at the time.
That day he got up, got dressed and went to the gym.
“That started it all,” says Eilering, 29. “It was Monday, the week of Thanksgiving. In hindsight, it is the worst time to ever start a diet, but it really helped me with my discipline.”
