  • Weight-Loss Supplements That Work:how To Find Your Way Throughthe Hoax, The Hype And The Harm
    In January 2007, the Federal Trade Commission fined four supplement manufacturers a total of 25 million dollars for making what they said were false advertising claims about their weight-loss products.

    These weren’t fly-by-night operations, selling little-known products. Among the fined was Bayer Corporation, and its One-A-Day brand. Others included the well-advertised and widely purchased products Xenadrine EFX, CortiSlim and CortiStress, and TrimSpa.

    So what’s a consu...
  • A Weight-Loss Supplement The FDA Says Might Really Work
    Government regulatory agencies are usually not big fans of weight-loss supplements. In January 2007, for example, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) fined four supplement companies a total of $25 million for making what the FTC said were unscientific claims about their weight-loss products.

    I’m sensitive to such a slight (even if I think the FTC was right in this case) because I’m the co-author of a book about science-backed vitamin and herbal supplements that can aid weig...
  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids:“The Most Important Dietary Supplement You Can Take”
    Those are the words of Leigh Connealy, MD, who I interviewed for my new book, The Natural Fat-Loss Pharmacy: Drug-Free Remedies To Help You Safely Lose Weight, Shed Fat, Firm Up, And Feel Great.

    Dr. Connealy is the medical director of the South Coast Medical Center for New Medicine, in Tustin, California. (www.scmedicalcenter.com)

    There, she and her staff have counseled thousands of people how to be healthier through natural means—including using vitamins and herbs as a...
  • Chitosan: The Fiber That Hates Fat
    We Americans are in big trouble—literally.

    2 out of every 3 of us are overweight, and many of us are obese—we don’t have just a few pounds to lose, but 20, 30, 40 pounds or more.

    We try to lose that weight, of course. But a depressing 95 percent of dieters never lose much or gain back everything they’ve lost. What to do?

    Well, the answer to that question is an inescapable metabolic reality: you have to decrease your intake of calories and increase your calorie-burnin...
  • Reduce Your Risk Of Dying By 30 Percent—Drink Green Tea
    I’ll start this article by revealing that I’m not objective about the topic. In fact, I have an conflict of intense interest: I love green tea.

    I start just about every day with two pieces of rye toast and pot of green tea, and I usually make myself a second pot around noon. (I eat a late lunch, around 1:30 PM.)

    I’ve noticed that it does exactly what studies on green tea and weight control say it does: reduces appetite.

    I’ve read dozens of those studies in the last y...
  • Next Christmas, Prevent Holiday Weight—With CLA
    Imagine this scenario next January 1st: you don’t make a New Year’s resolution to lose weight—because you haven’t gained any!

    Come January 1, most people look back on the last month or so of happy indulgence with a tinge of scale-based regret. Well, there’s a new scientific study that offers a no-exercise, no-dieting way to not gain weight over holidays—and maybe stay trimmer all year round.

    The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Wisconsin, in Madis...
