Tell me more about DIET and WEIGHT LOSS

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

Have you ever wondered what it will take for you to lose weight and maintain your ideal body mass index you tried numerous weight loss fads to try to slim down, only to return to your old habits and gain weight again? 

Do you have any concerns about the ill effects of weight loss pills, crash diets, and slimming regimens widely advertised by slimming agencies in our mass media?  

Have you been bogged down by the technical jargon in scientific journals or have not been able to determine if what’s written makes sense or has scientific bearing? 

I know of many friends and family member who struggle with this every day, as we are constantly bombarded with loads of information from the internet, mass media, magazines, talk shows and even day-to day conversations with friends, colleagues etc.  Does dieting have to be so tough and regimented? Can one really eat what they need and still stay slim and healthy and avoid complications arising from protein rich diets? Does one have to get kidney problems to stay slim? Or does one have to swallow pills and resort to meals in a glass in order to look good?  

What are some of the factors that determine how we look and feel? What is the impact of genetics, metabolism and nutrition that affects body weight? 

Well, I hope to provide some useful articles on the theories of dieting and weight loss, sieving the fact from the fiction. What I’m aiming for is to cut out all the trials and errors which one has to go through, before hitting on the right formula and with a Degree in Biotechnology and a Masters in Food Science, along with a sound understanding of Food Chemistry and Nutrition, I believe I will be able provide my inputs as to whether of not things make sense from a scientific viewpoint.  

So drop me a line and tell me what you’ll like to read about!
