Lowest Child Obesity Rate

July 4th, 2009

The great state of Minnesota is the state with the lowest child obesity rate in the United States. This news comes on the heels of devastating obesity rates coming from national studies in the US. State officials and doctors are urging people not to become complacent as significant work still needs to be done to combat obesity in that state. A key indicator in childhood obesity is the number of meals a family is having away from home. The greater the number, the higher the likelihood of children becoming obese.

Losing the Belly Fat

June 14th, 2009

When I dropped from the obese category and began working on ‘looking good’ one thing that continually nagged me was belly fat.  I looked skinny underneath clothes, but still had a little pouch that would never go away.  Me and a friend tried a variety of things, mostly diet based, but couldn’t get anything to work.  That changed for me when I tried the Nature Cleanse program.  I was unsure about this one and it was actually my friend who suggested we try it.  The funny thing was is that it didn’t work for her.  She actually stuck to a decent diet supplemented with fish oil pills.  The lesson here is that what works for one may not work for all.  That’s why you often here such varying reports.  This is one way the internet can inhibit weight loss, because with the mass of human experience searchable you’re bound to find someone who ‘it didn’t work for.’
