Kristi Yamaguchi Interview: Winter Olympics are just 1 year away - she's ready!

Olympic gold medalist, Kristi Yamaguchi earned famed and glory as a figure skater at the 1992 Winter Olympic games in France. As the darling of the Winter Games, she ousted Nancy Kerrigan and Tanya Harding from the tacky spotlight they were stuck in, bringing class and grace back to the sport for Americans. Since then, Kristi has skated professionally (then retired), became a Mom to two daughters, authored books, created her Always Dream foundation, won Dancing with the Stars and launched a clothing line, Tsu.ya.

Kristi has definitely been busy with a ton of positive things to do, but she still can't say no. A fat loss review can help you construct a clear summarize of what you demand to focus on to accomplish your fat loss goal if you're a rookie; or serve as a reminder for the ones who are at an intermediate or more advance level of their weightloss plan. Following are seven steps that can serve as tips for your special weight loss plan. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not the same thing. Many weight loss programs have fooled people into believing that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by causing a person's body to reduce more muscle cells and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. She's joined Team Kelloggs to promote the winter Olympics and support our future Olympians. Did you know that the Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. Fitness expert, Fitz Koehler of Fitzness.com, spoke to Kristi today on camera to see what she has planned for next year and whether she's upped her fitness training as she said she'd hoped to do in a previous interview.

Book review: SALT SUGAR FAT by Michael Moss Part IV Final

PART IV

If you have not yet read Parts I, II, and III (the links are at the end of this review), then do so before you read this last segment of the review of SALT SUGAR FAT. Are there any decent corporate types out there willing to stand up to the underhanded tactics the industry is using daily to lure you in, just like a drug dealer would? Yes, there are, but you cant fight a war with a handful of soldiers, and you cant fight a war with untrained and educated soldiers, either.

One such moral and ethical former president of Coca-Cola North America was Jeffrey Dunn. He left the company after years of trying and failing to instill just some basic health consciousness at Coca-Cola. None of the reasons, says Dunn, given by any corporation, is indefensible in the context of surging obesity rates. A fat reducing review can help you produce a clear outline of what you require to focus on to complete your fat loss objective if you're a beginner; or serve as a reminder for the ones who are at an intermediate or more enhance stage of their weightloss plan. Following are seven steps that can serve as guidelines for your special weight loss plan. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not a similar thing. Many weight loss plans have tricked people into considering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by causing a person's body to lose more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. Interestingly enough, on Wednesday, May 8, 2013, the CBS Morning news show featured the current CEO of Coca Cola, telling how the company is going to help the fight against obesity by pursuing a global plan. His ideaput the number of calories on the front of the can or bottle so that people are more aware. Really?

Dunn put it right many years back, when he put the problem of obesity in the context of war: To me, that is like damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead. If they choose that path, they have to be accountable for the social costs of what they are doing. Good luck with that onein todays society, no one is accountable for anything they do, and the courts, the government, and even the churches, have made that so. Bring back the 1950s, please, when you were required to be responsible and held accountable for all your actions.

Good scientists have left the food processing companies. More than thirty years have passed since these smart people first brought the problems of too much salt, sugar, and fat and their relationship to societys health to the CEOs attention. But, sadly, those scientists either left on their own or were fired. They wanted to research ways to solve problems and were told, no. One scientist even said, I feel sorry for the public.

Moss devotes 118 pages to sugar, 91 to fat, and 35 to salt. But make no bones about, every single word will hold your attention and shock you.

What can you do?

1. READ THIS 449-page BOOK, cover to cover NOW.
2. Read nutrition labels with an eye toward reading between the lines, too, when a product is labeled organic, low fat, low sugar, low saltor, frankly, when any of those words are mentioned in the marketing or on the label.
3. Decide just how soon you want to die. That may sound rather negative, but it sure hits the point. And do you want to be riding around in a scooter because of obesity? Or become blind or lose a foot because of diabetes? You can research any number of articles about the results of obesity, and none of them is pretty. The outcome is always the same: you die too soon.
4. Redefine what you consider convenience. Yes, we are all concerned with it in this busy, go-go-go age we live in. But are the trade-offs all that bad? Can you not take off half an afternoon to prepare meals for the entire week? What about automating your breakfast and lunch meals?

Can Mosss book bring awareness to this severe problem? I am afraid that the answer is, only if you read the book, my friends. We already know that corporate America is ignoring the problem, as is Congress. The only way to bring awareness is where it will hurtstop buying the products that are loaded with salt, sugar, and fat. And get rid of the attitude that you are only treating yourself. You are treating yourself, all right, to an early death! There needs to be a full blown war on the food processing industrythose nutrients, says Moss, are not really nutrients as much as they are weapons. The enemy is all those manufacturers of processed food who say they are only giving the public what they wantfast and convenient foods for those who are too busy to be in the kitchen. But did you ask for an early death and obesity?

This book is available in the Albuquerque library system, and is likely in yours, too, as well as on Amazon.

Weight Gain During the Holidays Is Hard to Undo

Millions of Americans will again become heavier over the holidays. For many its an experience as reoccurring as the Season itself. It seems almost inevitable that we overeat too often and exercise too little this time of the year. While the resulting weight gain is not always dramatic, getting rid off the extra pounds afterwards can be a real challenge.

Americans probably gain only a pound during the winter holiday season, but this extra weight accumulates through the years and may be a major contributor to obesity later, finds one study conducted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

In other words, even a little uptick in body weight each holiday season can add up over time until it becomes a potential health problem. For people who are already overweight or obese, the situation can be worse. Research by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) found that the average weight increase in this group was as much as five times higher. These results suggest that holiday weight gain may be an important contributor to the rising prevalence of obesity, the NCBI study concluded.

Most Americans who gain weight between Thanksgiving and New Years Eve generally dont lose that weight ever again, says also Dr. Mehmet Oz, a cardiologist and talk show host on ABC. Some meals people eat during the holidays can add up to 2,000 calories or more, according to Dr. Oz, so they could actually put on an extra pound every day if they keep indulging like this. Once they become used to the higher calorie intake, it may seem like normal and they continue on that level.

So what can be done to prevent us from falling into the same trap year after year? While the holiday season is no time to start dieting because of all the temptations around us, there are a few tricks you can apply, says Registered Dietitian Marisa Moore. She suggests to keep tempting treats as much out of sight as possible. Just seeing food can trigger the desire to eat, she warns.

Especially beware of calorie-laden drinks like eggnog, which can have 450 calories or more per glass. When you attend a party where lots of food will be served, ruin your appetite before you get there, Moore advises. Rather than arriving ravenous, grab a handful of protein and carbohydrate-rich snacks like nuts or cheese with some fruit. It will leave you less inclined to overload on heavier foods later.

Also, dont forget to maintain your exercise schedule between your partying. In fact, you may want to increase your workout efforts a bit for counterbalance.

Last but not least, dont forget to get enough sleep. A fat loss review can help you establish a clear outline of what you need to focus on to achieve your fat reduction target if you're a beginner; or serve as a reminder for the ones who are at an intermediate or more advance level of their weightloss plan. Promptly after are seven steps that can serve as guidelines for your special weight loss system. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not exactly the same thing. Many weight loss applications have fooled people into wondering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss applications only work by resulting in a person's body to reduce more muscle flesh and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. Your full social calendar can wreak havoc on your body, says Moore. Lack of sleep and resulting exhaustion can contribute to weight gain as well because you are less likely to exercise restraint and keep your eating habits under control.

The more you are aware of your inclinations (some call it weaknesses), the easier it will be to work around them. Always have a plan ready for how much you are willing and able to consume without having to deal with dire consequences later.

Remember that the holidays are primarily there to reconnect with family and friends and to celebrate good times. Enjoying delicious food is certainly part of that, but it shouldnt be the main focus. Instead of standing around the buffet, you can hit the dance floor, or simply enjoy a good conversation with old and new friends that doesnt require more than you being your lovely self.

Anne Hathaway and Matthew McConaughey win for most extreme celebrity weight loss (Photos)

Someone needs to create a new award ceremony: Most Extreme Weight Loss for a Role. In 2012, the trophies belong to Anne Hathaway and Matthew McConaughey. Apparently believing in the theory that stardom is more important than health, these two actors chose near-starvation diets to look as if, in Anne's words, they were "near death," reported Fox News on Nov. 13. Get the inside scoop here.

Matthew kept his eyes on the prize: Losing 30 pounds to play a role in "The Dallas Buyers Club," according to Extra Online on Nov. 13. How did he go from toned, healthy "Magic Mike" muscle man to emaciated, sickly AIDS activist? "I should not look healthy by the time I'm doing this," Matthew explained when he started what he termed "a spiritual cleanse," reported People magazine in October. Noting that he was "drinking a lot of tea," Matthew added, "It takes a while for your body to understand that it has to feed off of itself and that you're not going to give it something else from the outside."

As for Anne, she chose a punishing diet that involved two squares of dried oatmeal paste for her "meals," reported Entertainment Weekly on Nov. 13. Her goal, for which she lost 25 pounds: Play the role of Fantine in "Les Miserables." Anne contends that she "had to be obsessive about it the idea was to look near death. A fat reducing review can help you produce a clear outline of what you require to focus on to accomplish your fat loss goal if you're a novice; or serve as a reminder for those who are at an intermediate or more enhance stage of their weight-loss plan. Following are seven steps that can serve as instructions for your special weight loss plan. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not the same. Many weight loss plans have misled people into believing that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss applications only work by resulting in a person's body to burn more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. Looking back on the whole experience and I dont judge it in any way it was definitely a little nuts. It was definitely a break with reality, but I think thats who Fantine is anyway." Suggestion to Anne: For your next role, consider a remake of "Bridget Jones's Diary." Renee Zellweger gained 30 pounds to play that role, according to Shape magazine. Bring on the hot fudge sundaes!

Beans and lentils help diabetics control blood sugar

Beans, beans, good for your heartand your blood sugar. A fat reduction overview can help you build a clear summarize of what you require to focus on to complete your fat reducing objective if you're a rookie; or serve as a reminder for these who are at an advanced or more improve phase of their weight-loss program. Following are seven steps that can serve as suggestions for your personal weight loss system. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not the same thing. Many weight loss courses have fooled people into believing that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by producing a person's body to lose more muscle flesh and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. A new study has found that a cup of beans or lentils each day could help those with Type 2 diabetes better control their blood sugar, thus reducing the risk of cardiovascular problems such as heart attack and stroke.

High-fiber foods are recommended for diabetic patients because a portion is digested differently from other carbohydrates and are less likely to cause a spike in blood sugar. Also, fibrous foods help people stay full longer, thus promoting appropriate calorie intake and potentially weight loss. In addition, fiber promotes good bowel health and may lower the risk of cancer.

But is there a difference in the types of fiber a person can eat with regards to blood sugar control?

A research team led by Dr. David Jenkins of St. Michaels Hospital in Toronto, Canada divided 121 people with diabetes into two groups. One group was instructed to increase their intake of cooked legumes by at least a cup a day, which contain both fiber and protein and have a low glycemic index (GI). The other group was told to consume more whole wheat products to increase their intake of dietary fiber without regard to the GI value of the foods.

After three months, the participants who consumed more beans and lentils had lower hemoglobin A1c levels. HbA1C is a measure of long-term glucose (blood sugar) control. The study volunteers also had a lowered 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease, due to a decrease in blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

"Legumes are good protein sources, and proteins tend to dampen the blood glucose response and they lower blood pressure," said Jenkins. "They are also good sources of fiber and that tends to be associated with lower cholesterol. "We hope that this could be the point that allows you to delay medication use."

In addition to protein and fiber, beans contain phytochemical compounds (antioxidants) that can help the body fight free radical damage that is linked to many health conditions such as aging, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinsons or Alzheimers.

The vegetable class legumes contains beans, peas and lentils. Black beans, black-eyed peas, chickpeas, lima beans and kidney beans are examples. Legumes are available canned which do not require soaking and have a shorter cooking period or dried. One pound of dried beans yields about 5 or 6 cups of cooked beans while a 15-ounce can of beans equals about 1 cups (drained).

Beans are excellent meat replacements in soups, stews, and chili. They can also be added to salads or rice to bump up the protein and fiber content of the side dish. Here are a few ideas on how to incorporate more legumes into your favorite meals:

Add cooked black beans or kidney beans to an omelette.
Toss cooked lentils into a leafy green salad.
Add chickpeas to Greek salad for a boost of protein and fibre.
Toss cooked lentils, chopped bell pepper and chopped red onion with a vinaigrette to make a tasty cold salad. Add fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro.
Enjoy minestrone, split pea, black bean or lentil soup instead of the usual chicken noodle.
Spread sandwiches with hummus (chickpea pure) instead of mayonnaise.
Add chickpeas to whole-grain dishes such as quinoa, barley and brown rice pilafs.
Use a variety of legumes when making chili. Try chickpeas, black beans and soy beans in addition to kidney beans.
Add cooked black beans to tacos and burritos. Use half the amount of lean ground meat you normally would and make up the difference with beans.
Add cooked lentils to quesadillas along with other fillings you enjoy.
Add cooked white kidney beans to a tomato-based pasta sauce for a Mediterranean inspired meal.
Toss cooked lentils into sauted leafy greens such as spinach or Swiss chard for a healthy side dish.

Fiber is the key to new 'Miracle Carb Diet book by Tanya Zuckerbrot, RD

Tanya Zuckerbrot is a registered dietitian who loves fiber. Her previous book, The F-Factor Diet, showed people how a high-fiber diet could help with digestion, satiety and weight loss. A fat reducing review can help you construct a clear outline of what you demand to focus on to accomplish your fat burning goal if you're a beginner; or serve as a reminder for these who are at an advanced or more boost stage of their losing weight program. Applying are seven steps that can serve as suggestions for your special weight loss system. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not the same thing. Many weight loss plans have tricked people into believing that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss programs only work by leading to a person's body to eliminate more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. Her new book, The Miracle Carb Diet (Hyperion, $24.99), builds on that foundation of fiber and tells readers that carbs are OK to eat, as long as they are high in dietary fiber.

• Our 2009 interview with Tanya Zuckerbrot

Americans only eat 9 to 11 grams of fiber a day, when they should be eating about double the amount. Some of that comes from carb phobia, but much of the deficit from processed carbs, which are woefully bereft of fiber. Zuckerbrot shows how easy it is to pump up the fiber in your diet with more than 100 recipes, including Carrot Ginger Soup (14 grams fiber), Oven-Fried Artichoke Hearts (6 grams fiber), Pork Pizzaiola (6 grams fiber) and even a Mixed Berry Daiquiri with 6 grams of fiber.

On The Miracle Carb Diet, fiber and protein are the centerpiece foods of every meal and snack. Zuckerbrot cites studies that show that when the two are eaten together, they can produce fullness longer on the fewest calories and can boost the metabolism.

The actual eating plan is broken into four stages. The first two stages are two weeks long each, while Stage 3 is followed until you reach your goal weight. Stage 4 is the maintenance phase. Heres how it breaks down:

• Stage 1: You cut out all refined carbs except for three high-fiber carb foods per day. The goal is to eat 35 net carbs and 35 grams of fiber per day.
• Stage 2: You can add back a carb serving every day, boosting your net carbs to 45 and your fiber to 35 grams or more.
• Stage 3: You add back two additional servings of carbs every day, bringing your net carbs to 65 and keeping your fiber at 35 grams or more.
• Stage 4: Its pretty much the same carb and fiber level as Stage 3, but you adjust your calorie level to maintain your weight and your new good habits.

As for working out, Zuckerbrot is a fan of resistance training over hours of cardio, since more muscle makes you more metabolically active. Plus, she warns that doing a lot of cardio can actually make you hungrier.

Dr. Oz's dopamine diet curbs your cravings and speeds up weight loss

For most of us, the challenge in achieving a healthy weight comes from those frustrating food cravings. With visions of delicious donuts and creamy ice cream dancing in our heads, we can't seem to stay on track, regardless of which diet we try. Recognizing that problem, Dr. Mehmet Oz has created a new kind of weight plan: Dr. Oz's dopamine diet. Unveiled on his May 13 talk show, Dr. Oz explained how this easy-to-follow diet curbs your food and hunger cravings. Learn how these holistic diet solutions can forever change how you eat in this article.

Serving as an expert on this subject: Bruce Wylde. A specialist in alternative and natural health, Bruce has authored two books, "Wylde on Health: Your Best Choices in the World of Natural Health" (click for details) and "The Antioxidant Prescription: How to Use the Power of Antioxidants to Prevent Disease and Stay Healthy for Life" (click to buy now). Bruce explains that because higher levels of dopamine lower your food cravings, you can overcome the desire to overeat by eating nutrient-rich foods high in tyrosine, which is dopamine's natural building block of dopamine (see complete list of foods at the end of this article). He also recommends supplementing with the amino acid L-Tyrosine to boost your dopamine levels. Bruce suggests 500 to 1,000 mg when you wake up (i.e., on an empty stomach). Repeat that dosage between lunch and dinner. My tip: Choose a well-known manufacturer to make sure that you are getting the dosage shown without unnecessary ingredients. Examples of recommended ones include Source Naturals L-Tyrosine 500 mg (click for details) and NOW Foods L-Tyrosine 500 mg (click to order now).

However, Bruce emphasizes that it is important to get tested and discuss with your doctor prior before starting the supplement. In addition, make foods high in L-Tyrosine the base of your meals. A fat reducing overview can help you establish a clear summarize of what you need to focus on to achieve your fat reduction objective if you're a beginner; or serve as a reminder for these who are at an advanced or more boost stage of their weight-loss program. Applying are seven steps that can serve as suggestions for your special weight loss program. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not exactly the same thing. Many weight loss applications have fooled people into thinking that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by causing a person's body to eliminate more muscle cells and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. Use these foods in your menus to naturally boost your dopamine levels and reduce cravings:

• Fava beans (Tip: Never had these beans? They're high in protein. You can use a slow cooker and serve over brown rice mixed with veggies, using a brand such as Bob's Red Mill Fava Beans - click for details.)
• Duck
• Chicken
• Ricotta cheese (Tip: For a great dinner, mix ricotta cheese, tomato sauce and Schar Naturally Gluten-Free Spaghetti - click to order.)
• Oatmeal
• Mustard greens
• Edamame (Tip: Enjoy these crunchy snacks with a piece of fruit. Select a lightly salted brand, such as Seapoint Farms Dry Roasted Edamame - click for details).
• Dark chocolate
• Seaweed
• Wheat germ (Tip: For a fabuous breakfast filled with fiber and vitamins, click here to get Hodgson Mill Wheat Germ with Cinnamon & Flaxseed.)
