Byers recently moved to Nashport, but said he lived in Frazeysburg for about four years. He knows a lot of people in the area, he said, and has a feel for the community. That’s why he wanted to host his first weight-loss challenge in the area and donate a portion of the proceeds to help renovate the community pool.

“The poor kids in Frazeysburg don’t have anything to do,” he said. “The last thing that town needs is for that pool to shut down, because they don’t have the money to pay to have it restored.”

Byers has assisted with weight-loss challenges run by Ryan Baker in Zanesville and Coshocton. He said he goes to the Nautilus Fitness Center in Zanesville, which is owned by Baker’s father. He talked to Ryan about his challenges and wanted to get involved.

“I get a big enjoyment out of helping people lose weight and get healthy,” he said. “It’s watching them change their attitude about life, pretty much.”

It’s a great time of year to start a fitness challenge, he said, because many people are encouraged to shed unwanted pounds with beach and outdoor season right around the corner.

“The weather is getting warm. Everybody wants to be outside. Everybody wants to look good,” he said.

The program is similar to “The Biggest Loser” television show, in which people can earn cash prizes for percentage of body weight lost. Classes feature meal plans, education on various health and weight-loss topics, a personal weight-loss coach and the intangibles of group support.

More than the money incentive and the helpful tips provided by the coaches, Byers thinks the real game-changer is people going through their weight-loss struggles alongside those in the same boat.

“A lot of people get frustrated if they don’t see results. If you’re in a group environment and people are staying positive and keeping each other influenced in heading in the right direction, I believe it makes it a lot easier for everybody,” he said. “You build a lot of friendships and trust in there.”

There has been a growing shift about the beliefs regarding the connection between high levels of cholesterol and health problems such as heart disease. For many years, people have been conditioned to accept that cholesterol is a primary cause to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and that treatment options are limited to costly prescribed medication. Recent research has effectively diminished this theory proposing a serious revision to the current clinical and public health recommendations regarding the dangers of cholesterol.

A study published by the Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice tested the theory of high cholesterol as the leading cause of CVD. Evaluating 52,087 people between the ages of 20 – 74, it compared an individual’s total serum cholesterol with total mortality, and specifically mortality from CVD and ischaemic heart diseases. The conclusion found an indication of possible errors in the particular CVD risk algorithms of many clinical guidelines. In fact, moderately elevated levels of cholesterol in women “may prove to be not only harmless, but even beneficial,” the study concluded.

More and more contemporary studies are shedding light on the possibility that the supposed link between cholesterol and heart disease is, at best, imaginary. The highlight study administered by the World Health Organization (WHO), monitored the trends in cardiovascular disease. Comparing the cholesterol levels with the rate of heart disease across many European countries, as well as Australia, the findings were staggering.

Australian Aboriginals, having the highest mortality rates from heart disease, showed to have the lowest average cholesterol levels. Conversely, the country with the highest average cholesterol levels, Switzerland, was found to be among one of the lowest populations to suffer from heart disease. Across the globe, the previously assumed scientific link between cholesterol and heart disease is diminishing, study by study.

New science indicates having a proper diet, one void of complex carbohydrates, can help fight against heart disease. More people are embracing the idea that risk factors for CVD are controllable through diet and exercise, and gradually moving away from prescription medication. Diets that are low in carbohydrates and refined sugars such as the Paleo diet are becoming increasingly popular. “We promote a nutrition plan of natural ingredients such as fish, animal products, green leafy vegetables and fruit,” affirms Ian Lauth of CrossFit Laguna Niguel. He continues, “It really comes down to getting the proper amount of exercise, and eating the foods nature give us.”

Medical clinical research is ongoing, and while there is not a definitive answer to the cholesterol/heart disease puzzle, new research has cast an ominous shadow of doubt on what was once considered a clearly justifiable connection. Growing evidence continues to point to diet and exercise as the foremost method to decrease health hazards. Ian finalizes his thoughts, “The Paleo diet is about consuming what is natural for us, as humans, to eat. Things that don’t need an ingredient list. Paleo is about controlling your health without swallowing bottles of pills each day.”

When looked at from perspective of price per portion, junk food loses the value argument

Jacque Wilson, CNN

May 19, 2012

(CNN) — We have many excuses for not eating healthy: I’m too busy. I don’t live near a grocery store. I can’t afford healthy food. I don’t know how to cook.

A new study from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service is taking one of those excuses off the table.

Previous studies have shown that eating junk food is cheaper than eating healthy food. But Andrea Carlson, lead author for the USDA study, said the way those researchers measured cost-effectiveness skewed the results.

Carlson and her team analyzed 4,439 foods in three different ways — price per calories (as previous studies had done), price per edible gram and price per average portion. Retail prices were based on Nielsen Homescan data. The average portion was determined from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

The researchers found that when they used the price per calories analysis, fruits and vegetables appeared more expensive. “But this changes when you use other two,” Carlson said in a press call Wednesday.

For instance, take a chocolate glazed donut. Each donut is probably about 240 calories, and you could probably eat two or three of them with no problem (and just a teensy bit of guilt). Then take a banana with about 105 calories.

If these two cost the same, the banana is more expensive per each calorie eaten. But you’ll probably only eat one and feel a lot fuller afterward, Carlson said. That makes it cheaper per edible gram and per the average portion.

“Many have raised concerns that those of modest means … can’t afford a healthy diet,” said Kevin Concannon, the USDA under secretary for food, nutrition and consumer services. “The good news I take away from the study is that is not necessarily the case.”

Concannon said the study shows that carrots, onions, pinto beans and mashed potatoes are all less expensive per portion than ice cream, sweet rolls, pork chops and ground beef. In fact, protein foods and food high in saturated fat, added sugars and sodium were all more expensive than fruits, vegetables, dairy and grains based on these methods.

“This is great news for all getting by with a limited food budget,” he said. “You don’t have to compromise good nutrition.”

The bottom line, Carlson said, is that there is a range of prices for any type of food you buy. You can find expensive produce and inexpensive produce, as well as expensive and inexpensive junk food.

And while cost is a common excuse offered for not eating nutritionally, it’s not the only barrier. Food deserts make it difficult for some in the U.S. to access fresh produce, and others just don’t want to make the effort.

“Taste always is the first thing people consider when choosing food,” Carlson said.

The biggest mistake dieters make, he said, is “performing classic cardio (running, biking). Instead, do interval strength training (to) raise metabolism, and give you the long, lean look you desire.”

“Ultimate Volumetrics Diet,” by Barbara Rolls with Mindy Hermann (William Morrow, $27.50)

The book combines research with solutions to give readers a guide to managing weight.

Rolls is a professor of nutritional sciences at Pennsylvania State University. She is the author of more than 250 research articles and six books, including “The Volumetrics Weight Control Plan.”

Her best advice is, “The way you eat each day should provide you with the nutrients and calories for both good health and a healthy weight.”

The biggest mistake dieters make, she said, is “many dieters try to give up favorite foods forever, and that undermines the long-term sustainability of any diet.”

“Weight Loss Boss,” by David Kirchhoff (Rodale Books, $25.99)

It includes the author’s personal weight struggles, as well as insights from Weight Watchers members. Kirchhoff is president and CEO of Weight Watchers.

His best advice is: “Stop thinking like dieters. Start thinking like people who are trying to create happy and healthier habits that they can keep for life.”

The biggest mistake dieters make, he said, is “thinking that the key to losing weight is two months of deprivation …. The foods you are eating while you are losing weight should be the foods you can see yourself eating for the rest of your life. Focus on finding foods you can love that will love you right back.”

“The Blood Sugar Solution,” by Mark Hyman (Little, Brown and Company $27.99)

This is a six-week plan to reverse diabetes and obesity, referred to as diabesity. Hyman is chairman of the Institute for Functional Medicine and the author of UltraMetabolism.

His best advice: “Eat real food — nothing processed or prepared. Eat protein for breakfast such as eggs, nut butters, protein shake. Don’t drink your calories: no juices, sodas, sport drinks. Have breakfast every day and have three meals and two snacks.”

The biggest mistake dieters make, he said, is “eating low-fat foods. Skipping meals to lose weight. Counting calories, fat grams or carbs instead of focusing on quality and fresh whole food.”

“The Starch Solution,” by John McDougall with Mary McDougall (Rodale Books, $26.99)

The program encourages people to solve health problems, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and arthritis, using diets based on rice, corn and potatoes.

John McDougall is a physician who helps people overcome illnesses with diet plans.

His best advice: “Eat more starch. Avoid fats and oils. The fat you eat is the fat you wear. … Appetite-satisfying bread, rice, corn, potatoes and beans should replace fattening oils, cheeses and pork chops.”

The biggest mistake dieters make, he said, is “believing the fault is their own. They must stop believing there is something psychologically wrong with them.”

Q: Joy Fit Club started on “Today,” but where did the idea for the club come from?

A: Every other week, we induct a new member into the club — someone who has lost at least 100 pounds with diet and exercise alone. We decided on the number “100″ because it was such a huge, dramatic milestone — if these individuals can accomplish such a significant transformation, it’s possible for anyone to follow in their footsteps, whether they have 10 pounds to lose or hundreds.

Q: You have a list of successful health books. Your latest title, “Joy Fit Club: Cookbook, Diet Plan Inspiration” seems to be the complete package. What are your hopes for this book and who was it written for?

A: Yes, it is the complete package. The Joy Fit Club is a unique weight loss resource because it provides 3 strategic components. First, it offers a full diet plan with menus perfectly formulated with the right amount of high-quality carbs, filling protein, and heart-healthy fats to provide fast, effective, lasting results. Second, you get 75-plus slimming recipes that are simple to make and delicious to eat. Finally, the book incorporates strategies and advice from 30 real life weight loss superstars who each lost over 100 pounds using diet and exercise alone. The stories in this book are powerful reminders that it is possible to lose the weight and keep it off — their “real-life” success stories prove it! My hope is to inspire people who feel depressed and hopeless about their weight and health problems — and show them that it IS possible to transform their life. Any one of the members in the book will tell you, “If I can do this, you can too.”

Q: How would someone trying to lose 100s of pounds or just a few pounds get started with your book?

A: No matter how much weight you have to lose, this plan will work for you. Just dive right in and start following the meal plans. The meals are delicious and easy to prepare — I know people won’t stick with a food plan if it doesn’t taste great, or requires slaving away in the kitchen for hours. That’s just not realistic.

Q: Why do you think your plan is so successful compared to some of the more hyped diets like Atkins, South Beach, Mediterranean, Dukan or most recently the DASH diet?

A: This plan is realistic, effective, and based on the latest science. No gimmicks or radical, extreme changes. No fasting or special foods to buy or supplements. I don’t eliminate any food groups. It’s real, everyday food that you can buy right at your regular grocery store.

In order to lose the weight and keep it off, you have to make permanent changes to your lifestyle and eating habits – and that’s exactly what all of the Joy Fit Club members that are featured in the book did. With that in mind, I went out of my way to make sure diet plan and strategies in this book are smart, realistic, and effective. It’s not a quick fix, restrictive plan that’s impossible to stick with for the long-term…leaves you feeling cranky and deprived…and ultimately backfires, so the weight comes yo-yoing back on.

Q: As your title suggests, the Joy Fit Club, how does fitness work into the dietary changes suggested in your book? What types of exercise do you recommend as well as time and frequency?

A: Exercise helps you burn calories, boosts your mood and confidence, and puts you in a positive mindset so you’re motivated to stick with your plan. It’s a total feel-good. And it doesn’t have to be fancy, expensive or intense — in fact, walking is my preferred form of exercise. It’s free, you can do it almost anywhere, it doesn’t require any special equipment, and it’s easy on the joints — it’s really the perfect form of exercise. I advise walking for 30 minutes, every day of the week (aim for 7 days and you’ll end up hitting at least 5).

Q: One of the first sentences in your book starts of with “Nearly 25,000 pounds lost…” That is an amazing statistic. How does that make you feel as a health care professional, an author, a TV personality and more importantly as a wife and mother of three kids? Did you ever imagine the type of success your guidance would have?

A: It is an incredible number — it still blows me away every time I hear it. I worked with some of the Joy Fit Club members personally, and some of them lost their weigh on their own (the Club was created to celebrate their tremendous accomplishments!) — but I have a strong personal connection and relationship with every single member. I can’t even begin to tell you how many people have told me that watching these success stories on the “Today” show and, now, reading their features in the book, has given them the hope and inspiration they need to start their own weight loss journey. It’s an incredible feeling to know “we” – all of the other people who have made this possible, including the 150 Joy Fit Club members themselves, who have the courage to share their story on national television — are changing lives every single day.

Q: There are some basic rules being in the Joy Fit Club. Can you briefly explain your “Joy Rules” and while they all make your diet successful, are there ones that can easily reap the most reward?

A: I’ve identified the top 10 strategies that are most effective for successfully losing the weight and keeping it off — both for the Joy Fit Club members who have lost over 100 pounds and kept it off long-term AND from my thousands of personal clients that I’ve helped to slim down. I lay out these strategies or “weight loss rules” in the book.

All 10 are important for lasting results, but I think there are two critical commonalities that weave through all of these success stories:

Find your meaningful reason for losing weight. It may seem like an obvious first step, but I have found that the people who are most successful at losing weight are those that have a strong, clear purpose for wanting to make a change. Do some serious soul-searching and identify a significant and lasting source of personal motivation for finally shedding the extra weight.

Forgive your slip-ups. Nobody eats perfectly all the time, and it’s fine—totally normal, in fact—to occasionally stray from your plan. The trick is to shake off your mistakes and get right back on track at the next meal or the very next day. Don’t let one binge or “off day” spiral out of control into a full week, or month, of splurging. It may not come easy at first, but mastering this one key strategy can help you finally break the cycle of yo-yo dieting.

Q: Some of your Joy Rules like avoiding soda, eliminating trigger foods and forgiving slip-ups are easier said than done.

A: Some of these will be more challenging than others for people when they first start the plan. Eliminating soda can be difficult if you love your pop, but for many members of the Joy Fit Club, cutting out sugary drinks was the very first step they took (before they even tackled the food piece) — and they lost a significant chunk of weight from making just this one change.

When it comes to eliminating trigger foods, if you identify them and keep them out of the house entirely, you’ve already won at least 90 percent the battle. It’s so much easier to practice your willpower at the grocery store instead of at home, when the foods are sitting in your kitchen and you’re dealing with non-stop temptation.

Q: I truly enjoyed reading the 30 inspirational stories of some truly brave and courageous men and women of all ages who really have turned their lives around. A few standouts for me, were Rochelle Culp, who lost 104 pounds and turned into a rocking bodybuilder. Possibly even more amazing, is Tammy Burns who at 5’41/2″ weighed 575 pounds and lost 410 pounds. What have these stories taught you and has there been an inspiration that taught you something, was unforgettable or changed you in some way?

A: It has really humbled me and changed how I approach challenges in my own life – whether it’s related to work or family or relationships. If there’s a problem, you are your own solution. Believe in yourself. We are powerful, we really are, but sometimes we forget that. You can overcome challenges and obstacles that crop up in life if you’re determined, passionate, and patient. The motivational power of this book extends well beyond weight issues.

Q: The book is filled with a ton of tasty recipes. What are some of your favorites and how can we use the recipes to create a weekly menu?

A: It’s hard to pick favorites! My family loves the Creamy Garlic Pasta with Chicken and the Sloppy Pizza Joes. And the simple Protein Pancake is one of my breakfast staples (sooo easy). The recipes have been incorporated into the meal plan, so you can simply follow the detailed menus in the book – or you can use the calorie guidelines provided in the book to create your own menu plan.

Q: You have set up a roughly 1,400 calorie daily diet plan. Breakfast is at 400 calories, lunch at 400 and dinner at 500 calories with 2 snacks around 150-200 calories. What would you suggest be most bang for your calories when creating a meal plan and how do you feel about “dessert” as opposed to light snacks?

A: **Note that there is just one snack per day.

You could definitely enjoy a dessert once or twice a week in place of your snack. And there are some great yummy, slim-style dessert recipes in the book for times when you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to derail your diet. Cupcakes, chocolate mousse, chocolate-peanut butter bread pudding!

Q: What would you say would be an overall message or game plan for joining your Joy Fit Club and that person picking up this book with high hopes of success like any one of the inspirational stories you’ve shared.

A: Losing weight is 50% attitude, so think positive.

• Pierre Dukan asked to be removed from the doctors’ list because he was facing disciplinary action
• He proposed giving teenage school pupils extra exam marks if they kept to ideal weights

Controversial: Nutritionist Pierre Dukan has been struck off as a doctor in France after he was accused of giving dangerous advice to teenagers

A diet guru whose fans include the Duchess of Cambridge’s mother has been struck off the medical register in France after being accused of misadvising teenagers.

Pierre Dukan, 70, asked to be removed from the doctors’ list at his own request because he was facing disciplinary action.

The nutritionist had used a book to propose ideal weights for 17 and 18 year-old school pupils, giving them extra exam marks if they kept to them.

It led to a formal complaint from the College of Physicians in Paris, who said that the scheme could lead to increased cases of obesity and anorexia.

The physicians said Dukan’s proposal was in breach of article 13 of the medical ethics code which states: ‘A doctor must be aware of the repercussions his views can have on the public.’

There was also an allegation that Dukan’s £80 million plus slimming business might be in breach of medical codes.

But Dukan insisted that the advice contained in his best-selling books was all part of a doctor’s right to freedom of expression.

Dukan had retired as a medical practitioner anyway, and so insisted that the disciplinary proceedings were void.

Now medical ethics chiefs have told La Croix newspaper that Dukan asked to be struck off the register on April 19.

Dr Irene Kahn-Bensaude, head of the Paris branch of the Physicians’ College, said: ‘I think he made this decision when he saw things were not going his way in medical ethics circles.’

Fan: The Dukan Diet is said to be followed by the Duchess of Cambridge’s mother Carole Middleton, left, pictured with daughter Pippa

She suggested that Dukan’s move was part of a damage limitation exercise because a guilty verdict might damage his diet guru business.

And Dr Kahn-Bensaude insisted that Dukan’s move would not halt the disciplinary action against him, and that charges ‘will go all the way’.

Last year experts from the British Dietetic Association named the Dukan Diet the worst celebrity weight loss plan, saying it has ‘absolutely no solid science behind it at all’.

The Dukan Diet is said to be followed by the Duchess of Cambridge’s mother Carole Middleton, as well as Jennifer Lopez, supermodel Gisele Bundchen and Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins.

Weight-loss: It is also believed that Jennifer Lopez, supermodel Gisele Bundchen and Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins, pictured, all follow the controversial diet

It has also been suggested that the Duchess of Cambridge has also followed the controversial diet.

It is a complicated four-phase diet that starts with a protein-only approach which promotes weight loss of around 7lb per week.

It topped the BDA’s annual list of the five worst celebrity diets to avoid in the New Year.

It works on restricting foods, calories and portion control. However, the BDA says cutting out food groups is not advisable.

The BDA said: ‘This diet is so confusing, very rigid, full of very French foods that most Brits would run a mile from like rabbit and offal, and even Dr Dukan himself warns of the associated problems like lack of energy, constipation and bad breath.’

There are so many diet plans and weight-loss products on the market that it can be difficult to make a sensible choice.

Medifast is a scientifically designed program with the backing of more than 20,000 physicians who agree that its plan of six delicious meals a day leads to safe weight loss at a pace that is not only medically sound, but “fast.”

Medifast is a plan that Laurie can live with even after she has reached her weight-loss goal. Medifast’s easy-to-use plan will teach you about proper nutrition, portion sizes and how to prepare delicious food without the bad things which put on the weight in the first place.

A public meeting has been scheduled to review the the Huntington Avenue YMCA’s plans to demolish its pool and squash courts and build new facilities.

The meeting, part of the public review process, is set for Wednesday, May 30 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Y’s Bates Hall.

The Greater Boston YMCA plans to demolish its pool and courts and build an addition to house modern basketball and handball courts, and lap and therapy pools. The Y would also move the weight room and exercise equipment to the second floor of the main building while the corporate offices housed there now would be moved to the top floor of the new addition along with other renovations.

The new addition would accommodate the loss of the gym building, which the Y has sold to Phoenix Property Co. The company plans to build a $75 million, 17-story dormitory for Northeastern University in its place.

Y members and some neighborhood residents have long opposed the the dormitory plan and have opposed the renovations, saying they do not fit the needs of members. Others have seen the dorm as a way of keeping undergraduates from moving off campus.

Y officials have stressed that this project is being considered by the city separately from the dorm project, which has already been approved by the Boston Redevelopment Authority.
