Jane Seymour: Weight Loss

Dr Marc — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 00:41:55 +0000

Jane Seymour lost 20 lbs while training on Dancing with the Stars! Now this is one celeb that I think we can all agree doesn’t need to lose weight. In fact, Jane has been trying to put on weight recently. Now why is it that Jane Seymour feels she needs to put on weight while other celebs are having trouble losing?

Let’s take a look at her diet. Her diet consists of fresh fruits and veggies and some lean protein. She also stays away from sodas and alcohol. The secret to understanding successful weight loss is to reflect on how we evolved as a species. I can tell you, it wasn’t on trans-fats, refined carbs (white flour products), cheese, prime rib, coke, gummi bears etc. Our food consisted of mainly veggies, fruits, legumes, nuts, and occasional lean protein. Stick with this main principle and you’ll understand how to lose a lot of weight. Generally the less processed the foods you eat, the healthier and thinner you will be.

Suddenly with all the training, Jane can’t keep the weight on. I’m not surprised.

Weird Gastric Bypass Advertising

Dr Marc — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 11:22:05 +0000

Controversial yes. Effective no. Believe it or not this is actual advertising for a gastric bypass surgery center. Equating obesity with suicide bombers is not only in poor taste, but bad business. If you thought this was bad, it only gets worse. (more…)

Pepsi announced that they were going to launch a Diet version of their flagship sports drink Gatorade “for athletes when they are not breaking a sweat.” Although a diet version of a the competing sports drink Powerade did not fare well, Pepsi states that they created Diet Gatorade in response to consumer demand.

The Krispy Kreme whole wheat glazed doughnut

Dr Marc — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 08:28:53 +0000

Krispy Kreme launched a “whole wheat donut” earlier this year. Incredibly it is being pitched by the company as an “alternative for health conscious consumers with the benefits of 100% whole wheat and only 180 calories.” Hmmm… Seems like they forgot to mention that their “healthier” donut also comes packed with 3.5 grams of transfats and 10 grams of refined sugar.

Teens attempting to lose weight are more likely to skip breakfast and binge eat, which may explain why these teens are also more likely to gain weight according to a new study from the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. Most teens choose short-term dieting strategies, such as fasting, smoking, and skipping meals over more effective long-term strategies, such as greater veggie and fruit consumption along with more exercise.

Fast Food Calorie Counts taken down in NYC

Dr Marc — Tue, 01 May 2007 20:03:23 +0000

Do you really want to know that the Wendy’s chicken club sandwich you just ate weighs in at 650 calories, and that you just washed it down with another 430 calories from a medium chocolate frosty?

Apparently this is “too much information” for Wendy’s, White Castle and Quiznos which have decided to pull down all nutritional and calorie information from their stores and websites serving the NYC area. This is in reaction to NYC Dept of Health’s new calorie-disclosure regulation, to take effect July 1, which requires restaurants, serving standard portion sizes, to post calorie-counts on menu boards.
