After all the Atkin"s trends about #LowCarbDiets, apparently #LowFat is the way go... - http://clapway.com/2015/08/13/apparently-low-fat-diets-more-effective-than-low-carb-342/

For those debating between low-fat diets and low-carb ones, according to a new study by the National Institutes of Health, reducing dietary fat is better for weight loss than reducing carbohydrates,

For the study, scientists put ten obese men and women in a hospital for two different fortnight stays. For both stays, they were given identical exercise routines and their collective calorie intake was reduced by about 30 percent.

LOW-FAT DIETS VERSUS LOW-CARB DIETS STUDY

During one stay, calories were reduced by cutting the proportion of carbs; in the other, a similar amount of fats were reduced. Researchers found that 3.1 ounces were lost daily by cutting out calories over a six-day period, and only 1.9 ounces were lost daily by cutting out carbs.

“Our data and our model suggest that the body doesn’t care that fat calories were cut,” Kevin Hall, a National Institutes of Health researcher, told Reuters Health in an email. “It just kept burning the same amount of fat as it did before which led to a substantial imbalance between the fat eaten and burned and therefore body fat loss.”

NOT ALL CALORIES ARE CREATED EQUAL

In the long term, it’s likely that the difference between the fat calories and carb calories will be minimized by the body. In a statement, Dr. Hall said “Our results showed that, actually, not all calories are created equal when it comes to body fat loss, but over the long term, it’s pretty close.”

Hall admitted that the study was imperfect and warned against making “sweeping conclusions” with the data. Only 19 people were used in the study because the research was expensive to conduct, their diets would not necessarily be easy to follow over a long period of time, and the food they consumed did not resemble the kind used in most diets.

The study, which was published in the journal Cell Metabolism, also confirmed that cutting carbs decreases insulin production and increases fat oxidation.

ENERGY IS THE BIGGEST FACTOR

However, Tufts University nutrition researcher Susan Roberts said in an article published with the study that its results are proof that diets low on carbs are not superior to those low on fat. “Basically what the results say is that overall energy balance is the biggest factor – how do you cut calories in what you eat,” Roberts told Reuters.

Lose Weight Without Having To Hit The Gym? - http://clapway.com/2015/07/20/lose-weight-without-having-to-hit-the-gym123/

There’s a reason so many people fail at dieting. Losing weight generally requires a great deal of determination and dedication. After all, in order to shed a few pounds, an individual needs to change something about his or her lifestyle – whether it’s the amount of food consumed or the amount of exercise he or she engages in on a weekly basis. As a repeat dieter, I’ve have asked myself the same question over and over again: “Why can’t losing weight be easier?” Well…now it can.

THIN ICE WEIGHT LOSS APPAREL LINE

Thanks to Adam Paulin, founder of Thin Ice, the first weight-loss clothing line, it is now possible to lose weight without having to drastically change your lifestyle. Now, I know what you’re thinking…it all sounds too good to be true. However, the science behind Thin Ice apparel is founded on decades of “rigorous peer-reviewed scientific study,” as seen in Scientific American and the New England Journal of Medicine.

HOW DOES THIN ICE APPAREL WORK?

Thin Ice apparel is fitted with specialized Peltier cooling chips, which stimulate specific regions your body and trick it into thinking that it is in a colder environment. Why is this beneficial for weight loss? This effect essentially creates a “cascade of responses” in your body that kick your metabolism into overdrive as it tries to keep itself at a stable internal temperature. By doing so, the unwanted body fat melts away as your body does the work for you.

The Thin Ice line features a shoe insole, as well as a vest that can be worn discreetly underneath your clothing or shoes. Both pieces of apparel specifically target regions of your body that contain high levels of thermoreceptors. The cooling experience is also completely customizable with a mobile application that allows you to control the temperature of the clothing, as well as visually see the amount of calories you are burning. This gives the user ultimate control, allowing them to burn fat no matter where they are.

So if you’re like me and millions of other frustrated dieters around the world, it may be time to change up your routine. Yes, eating right and exercising are two lifestyle changes that are always beneficial, but hacking your metabolism could also be a secret weapon to eventually utilize. To learn more about the project, check out the Thin Ice website, here. The clothing line is also featured on Indiegogo, where it is nearing the end of its campaign.

Lose Weight Without Having To Hit The Gym?

People with Obesity Unlikely to Lose Weight - http://clapway.com/2015/07/17/people-with-obesity-unlikely-to-lose-weight697/

Losing weight is difficult for all of us, yet it’s harder for some than for others. A recent study shows that when it comes to obese people, this task is close to being impossible to achieve.

According to a new study, most people who are obese have extremely low chances to return to a normal weight. The scientist at King’s College, in London, affirmed that the results to their study showed there are very low chances for obese people to have a normal weight.

Obese People Have a 1 in 124 chance to Have a Normal Weight Again

The recent study was funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). There were 278,982 participants (129,194 men and 149,788 women). Their weight was tracked using electronic health records from 2004 to 2014.

The aim of the study was to find the probability of obese people to attain normal weight, or a 5% reduction in body weight. In order to estimate the weight change, the scientists used a minimum of three body mass index per patient.

Obese People Tend to Regain the lost Weight

All doctors recommend losing at least 5% to 10% body weight since it has been shown to have meaningful health benefits. However, according to the researchers’ results, most people don’t manage to lose weight at all.

It appears that the chance of losing between 5% and 10% weight is just one in 12 for men and one in 10 for women.

In addition, the scientists found out that, more than half of those who did manage 5% weight loss, regained it within the next 5 years.

These results show how difficult it is for people who have obesity to achieve and maintain even small amounts of weight loss.

Obesity Is a Serious Problem

Even if there is a high number of people who don’t seem to be taking this issue serious, obesity is an alarming problem.

All health officials warn people all over the world that obesity should be treated as a serious global public health epidemic.

According to the World Health Organization, the disease has more than doubled since 1980. In addition, it seems that almost 40 percent of adults measured were obese in 2014.

These are the reason why, in order to deal with this issue and to find treatment for obesity, new approaches are needed.
