You Need Vitamin D To Lose Weight, Who Know

This is interesting, I just read that low levels of vitamin D in your system can actually keep overweight people from losing weight. O.K., we know now that we can get vitamin D from the sun, but that dark skinned people and even people with a dark tan won't absorb as much "D" as light skinned people. Vitamin D from the sun is a bonus anyway, the sun can't give you too much. So now your diet and supplements will become important. The body needs vitamin D, it's important for weight loss, but also helps to ward off a long list of diseases including cancer. So how do we put more vitamin D in our diet? Diary products and eggs all contain "D". Some fish and vegetables contain Vitamin D and supplements in the vitamin section of your drug store or grocery store. Food is really the best way for your body to absorb any vitamin. There are foods like salmon and egg yolks that contain "D" naturally and some like milk and cheese that are fortified with vit...

Why Can't We Feed School Kids Good Food?

This is more complicated than it might sound. Yes, every Mom wants her kids to eat healthy food at school, so why doesn't the School Board do something to change the food. First of all, just as important is that you provide food that kids want to eat. A few years ago we tried the fruit and vegetable diet at public intercity schools and found that the kids didn't eat the lunches. So what's the answer? I think we should change up the program. I know even though Pizza for lunch is probably the most popular meal in any school, the ready-made, heat-and-serve type of frozen pizza that most schools are serving is loaded with sodium and probably not very good for anyone with a weight problem. I'd like to see more fresh food being served. I would like to see, just a trial, of course, in a few school, baked chicken served cold, with a macaroni salad, made with an olive oil based mayo, tomatoes, and celery. And then a potato salad made the same way. Serve more ice tea and lemona...

Exercise is a big part of losing weight, but I don't mean you have to sweat it off. You can loss weight without any exercise just by maintaining a proper diet. But if you don't do some exercise half the weight you lose will be muscle. It happened to me, so if you want to look like a pear then don't exercise. But if you want to look like you did when you actually weighed 30 pounds less, then you want to do some upper body exercise besides walking. Generally, the oldest fat on your body is the fat thats the hardest to get rid of. But muscle will eat up fat, that's why people go on high-protein diets to lose weight. If you build enough muscle, the muscle will eat up the fat just to maintain it's size and strength. In another post I wrote that a stunt man that had the "perfect body" would cut back in the off-season but when he was getting back in shape for a movie he would eat protein and good fats to bulk-up for his role. If your going to build muscle you n...
