POPSWhich diet is better?
Although participants actually decreased their total daily calories consumed by a similar amount, net weight loss from the low-fat diet after two years was only 6.5 lbs. (2.9 kg) compared to 10 lbs. (4.4 kg) on the Mediterranean diet, and 10.3 lbs. (4.7 kg) on the low-carbohydrate diet. "These weight reduction rates are comparable to results from physician-prescribed weight loss medications," explains Dr. Iris Shai, the lead researcher. The low-fat diet reduced the total cholesterol to HDL ratio by only 12 percent, while the low-carbohydrate diet improved the same ratio by 20 percent. Lipids improved the most in the low-carbohydrate, with a 20% increase in the HDL ("good") cholesterol and, 14% decrease in triglycerides. In all three diets, inflammatory and liver function biomarkers was equally improved. However, among diabetic participants, the standard low-fat diet actually increased the fasting glucose levels by 12mg/dL, while the Mediterranean diet induced a decrease in fasting g

POPSLow-Carb Diet Best for Weight, Cholesterol I couldn't get it all to clip, but it was very interesting. While I don't have a weight problem, cholesterol is a genetic problem.

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.

POPSSugary breakfast cereals may boost memory. The kids have short term, memory improvement,but it doesn't take long for the glucose to burn out and leave them empty.They also need a memory for the last few hours of school. Low GI are slow release, and can maintain the memory for much longer, though maybe without the acute rush. What can be as important are the artificial colours, flavouring, and preservatives that can play havoc with a child's metabolism. Substantial breakfasts are needed, because it is amazing how many kids either throw prepare lunches away if they don't like them, or use them to trade up. They learn about trade not nutrition.Once children are introduced to sugar they won't be happy with anything else. A sugar rush to a child, is like a shot of adrenaline to an adult

POPSIncrease Serotonin Levels With 5HTP This is a great supplement that I recommend a lot. As with pretty much every substance, it doesn't work for everyone. But I've known a lot of people who have done well with it. It's certainly cheaper than prescription drugs.
