Lean Plate Club: After Trans Fat

Remember that NYC banned trans fats?  What is up with that?  Telling us what we can and cannot eat?

Maybe.  But most don’t CHOOSE to eat trans fats.  We eat them because they are in our foods as preservatives, fresheners.  Check out this article from the Washtington Post online.  Yes, it’s about fat and calories, but it’s about hidden fats in foods we eat too.  Take the Lean Plate Club challenge.

Dieting without Exercise May Reduce Bone Density

Researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis recently published an article in the Archives of Internal Medicine that found people who dieted but did not exercise lost weight but ALSO lost bone density.  The group that both dieted and exercised lost almost as much weight but did not lose bone density.

The test was made over one year with two experimental groups (diet only and diet plus exercise) plus a control group.  Average age was 57.
