POPSLose Weight - Smoke Cigars! A novel approach to lose some pounds. The rebuttal from the Dr. was that it's the nicotine that acts as a stimulant, and that it's not healthy. Obviously he never smoked cigars or he'd realize the nicotine level is incredibly low in most cigars. Cigars also help someone relax and reduce stress. Like anything, moderation is key. Hey, if it helps to get someone morbidly overweight to eat better, exercise and shed some pounds, it's a good thing.

POPSAtkin's Diet Study - Not what the AMA wanted to see The study showed those on the Atkins Diet not only lost the most weight on average, but they also did the best for measured good cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure, and did not have any differences in bad cholesterol. My opinion, find a diet that allows you to lose weight, but also eat right on it. Get out an exercise as well if you really want to be healthy.
