Obese and overweight children increase their food intake by more than 100% after watching food advertisements on television; a study by the University of Liverpool psychologists has shown.
A group of 60 children of varying weights, aged between nine and eleven years was shown a series of both food television adverts and toy adverts, followed by a cartoon. Food intake following the food adverts was significantly higher compared with the toy adverts in all weight groups, with the obese children increasing their consumption by 134%; overweight children by 101% and normal weight children by 84%.
It was also found that weight dictated food preference during the experiment. Food of differing fat contents was made available to the children to eat at their own will, ranging from high fat sweet snacks to low fat savoury products. The obese group consistently chose the highest fat product - chocolate - whereas the overweight children chose jelly sweets which have a lower fat content, as well as chocolate.
Dr Jason Halford, Director of the University's Kissileff Human Ingestive Behaviour Laboratory commented: "Our research confirms food TV advertising has a profound effect on all children's eating habits -- doubling their consumption rate. The study was also particularly interesting in suggesting a strong connection between weight and susceptibility to over-eating when exposed to food adverts on television."
In this country, 14% of children are classed as obese and the average UK child watches 17 hours of commercial television a week. A ban on junk food advertising around children's television programmes was introduced in the UK in January 2007 yet surveys have shown that many children still watch during 'family viewing' hours in the evening when the ban does not apply.
Future studies are planned to investigate whether enhanced responsiveness to food adverts or the greater amount of television children are watching is a predictor of childhood obesity. The University research team is presenting its research at the European Congress on Obesity.

10 Weight Loss Tips
By naveen kumar
1. Burn more calories than you consume. If this makes you go: "D-uuuh!!", snap out of it and consider that this elementary aspect of dieting excapes countless clueless -- and doomed -- dieters. Tabloids may claim to have the "miracle foods" that'll allow you to eat like a pig and have the pounds melt off, but it's a load.
2. Establish your base metabolism, and set a target calorie goal approx. 500 calories below it. I wrote an article dedicated to establishing your metabolism earlier, so look it up in the article archive if you need a refresher.
3. Keep an honest log. Make estimates of how many calories you stuff yourself with every meal and tally up the total to make sure you stay within your target calorie goal. Convenient "mistakes," under-estimates and forgetfulness allows you to eat more now, but you're defeating the whole point of dieting.
4. Actively choose good sources of fat. This may sound like stupid advice -- shouldn't you AVOID fat when dieting? Well, yes and no. You have to keep consuming some fat, just not going overboard. Avoid butter, bacon, whole milk, coconuts and such like the plague. Instead, make use of olive oil (virgin) and fatty fish. Peanut butter is an interesting topic. I used to put it in the same category as the "bad" fats. It belongs there, packing saturated fat as well as artery-clogging trans fatty acids. However, based on highly unscientific testimonies by others as well as personal experience, it seems like a handful of peanuts once in a while when dieting can do wonders in keeping energy levels up while not wreaking havoc with your overall diet. Strange and illogical? You betcha. But it just so happens to work anyway, kind of like bumblebees flying though they technically shouldn't be able to.
5. Eat small but frequent meals throughout the day. You've heard it a million times, I'm sure, but facts remain: In order to keep an even level of blood sugar, you have to eat small, balanced meals.
6. Don't go wimpy on the weight training. When you diet, you're in the danger zone for losing muscle mass most of the time. To avoid this, keeping pumping iron, and be diligent about it!
7. Avoid alcohol. Given that barbeque-season is upon us, this can be tough when your friends bring out the ice-cold brewskis. The solution is simple: Only associate with other bodybuilders, so you at least won't be the lone dweeb sipping a diet soda! For those of you who have the ridiculous idea that your life should not revolve around bodybuilding: Snap out of it.
8. Do cardio in moderation. Doing 45 mins on the stairmaster every day is a great way to get the pounds off quicker. 2 hours is not so great, since you're bound to start losing muscle mass. When and how much is individual (and depending on what you've had to eat earlier in the day) but avoid cardio sessions in excess of 1 hour. If you need the punishment do one session in the morning and one in the evening. Also remember to stay in the 65%-70% heart rate zone for optimal fat burn.
9. Schedule "cheating" days to stay sane. Dieting is no fun. No matter how gung-ho and motivated you are when you start out, you'll have days when everything is darkness and the world is out to get you. Make sure to get a treat once a week on a set day (Saturday is good) as it gives you something to look forward to. A juicy burger is fatty and calorie-dense, but if you prepare by doing extra cardio for three days in advance you'll come in right on target for the week.
10. Don't be afraid of soy. I used to avoid fake-meat products, but having been married to a vegetarian for 3+ years I've tried soy hot dogs, burgers, chicken patties, even riblets that taste just like the real thing. And here's the kicker: Soy products is mostly protein! Granted, soy protein is not the highest quality out there, but if you drink a glass of milk or have some other high-quality protein source with it you can bump up the overall quality in a hurry. Besides, soy has a number of great health benefits when eaten in moderation and contains very little fat.

Weight Loss Medication
Copyright 2006 David McEvoy
With more than 50% of the adult population in the UK and the USA currently classed as overweight, medication might sound like a perfect answer and it's not difficult to understand why. Many people struggle for years to lose weight, trying diet after diet with little or no success. Unfortunately, there are no magic pills and very little if any evidence to show that weight loss medication brings about any lasting results. Most people who lose weight whilst taking a diet pill, put it all straight back on again afterwards. There is only one way you can lose weight realistically, and that is to consume fewer calories over a period of time, than your body uses up. Weight loss medication is designed to artificially bring about this negative calorie balance.
There are basically 3 main ways in which weight loss medication works. Stimulants boost your metabolism so that you burn up more calories. Appetite suppressants trick your brain into telling you that you are full so that you eat fewer calories. Absorption inhibitors prevent fat and other nutrients from being absorbed by the body so that they are expelled and fewer calories are retained.
It is a sad symptom of our society today that instead of doing what we know for sure works; i.e. a healthy diet and more exercise, many people still look for a lazy way to lose weight that can also be detrimental to their health. Diet pills carry a number of serious health implications particularly if you suffer from heart problems, high blood pressure and many other medical conditions. They can also produce a variety of unpleasant side effects. Compare that with the fact that there are no side effects associated with eating a healthy diet and increasing your level of activity. Evidence clearly shows that a natural option is far more likely to result in permanent weight loss and better health than an artificial one, and yet many people continue to look for a quick fix.
The following are a few of the more common weight loss medications available either over the counter or on prescription.
Adipex - works by suppressing your appetite suppressant.
Bontril - is also an appetite suppressant.
Didrex (benzphetamine hydrochloride) - works in a similar way to amphetamine or speed to boost your metabolism and decrease your appetite.
Ionamin or phentermine - is an appetite suppressant.
Phendimetrazine - boosts your metabolism.
Reductil (Meridia in the US) or Sibutramine - works by inhibiting the reuptake of seratonin and noradrenaline in the brain giving you a "feel good" effect and making you feel full earlier than you normally would.
Tenuate - is a metabolism booster; it increases heart rate and blood pressure and decreases your appetite.
Xenical - inhibits the absorption of fats into the body
Weight loss medication is usually only prescribed by a physician to overweight people who have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 30 or more, or sometimes less than 30 where there are serious risks to your health by being overweight that outweigh the risk of taking medication. Your BMI can be described as a body/fat ratio calculated using your height and weight and is an internationally recognised measure of obesity. If your BMI is between 25 and 30 then you are classed as overweight, if it's 30 or over then you are considered obese.
Weight loss medication puts an added strain on your body. This in itself should set alarm bells ringing. If your body is already under pressure from excess weight then why would anyone choose to make the situation worse? Diet pills can also interact with other medications you might be taking to counteract their effectiveness and, in some cases, can be highly addictive.
So what is the answer? The answer lies in the fundamental truth that the most efficient way to lose weight is to eat a healthy diet and to monitor your calorie intake so that you consume less than you are burning up. If you up your level of activity too then you will have the added bonus of an increased level of fitness and will speed up the process. Only in this way can you ultimately ensure a healthy and consistent weight loss. Permanent weight loss cannot be found in a bottle, it doesn't happen overnight either, and it certainly won't come by itself. You have to make the decision to lose weight and then take control of your diet. Once you've done that, you're on the road to a slimmer, healthier and happier you.
How to work out your BMI
A simple way to work out your own BMI is to divide your weight in kilograms squared by your height in centimetres. So for example, if your height is 160 centimetres and your weight is 60 kilograms, you divide 60 x 60 by 160. 60 x 60 = 3600 divided by 160 is 22.5. You have a BMI of 22.5, which is well within the normal range

Healthy Weight Loss
Weight loss should be taken as a long term program as the body takes time to lose weight in a natural way.

Once your make exercise a routine, you will like doing it. Also increase your daily activity levels from time to time. This may include parking your car a little far away when you go shopping, starting gardening, etc.
Healthy weight loss should involve a balance diet. You should consume less fats and more proteins and carbohydrates. You should eat more of fruits, vegetables, grains and starchy food. You diet should not contain only one food item. You should eat a variety of food items. A sound health is not about getting sufficient calories for body metabolism and is achieved by consuming various essential foods.
You can also consult a registered dietician for weight loss. Dieticians are educated and trained in nutrition and will provide you information about different food items, their compositions, calorific values and their benefits. You should also read food labels to get a clearer understanding of what you are eating. Foods that are labeled 97 to 100 percent fat-free are good for healthy weight loss.
Make a slow start and let your body adjust to the new lifestyle. Do not haste and consume diet pills that may have side effects. You can also choose to make one to two changes in your habits every week. For example, in the first week, you can decide that you will not eat fried foods and walk daily during your lunch break. In the second week, you can stop eating fat rich dairy products and start jogging in the morning. Your body will get sufficient time to react to such changes and you will succeed in achieving healthy weight loss. You should not target weight loss of more than two pounds each week.

You should also be regular in your meals and snacks. If you skip a meal, you will be hungry after a few hours and your body will demand high energy diet. You will be tempted to eat sugar-rich food such as pastry and chocolate.
If other members in your family also want to reduce weight, then the entire family can choose to eat healthy diet. This will reduce your access to fat rich stuff and fast food. With reduced access, you will be less tempted to eat these unhealthy foods.

Do we need a "pill for every ill" sometimes diet and exercise are just not enough. Ocasionally dieters really need weight loss pills to help them through the difficult reduction process. Many people think that a person is weak if he leans on weight loss pills to achieve success but this is far from true. There are many reasons that some of us need a little help. Diet pills are very tempting things if you want to lose weight, especially if you have tried several conventional weight loss diets without success.
Not everyone is born with a model’s body. Unfortunately, we wind up ruining our metabolisms when we try to starve ourselves into the model figure. As we get older losing weight becomes more and more difficult because of our past fasting habits. You can give your metabolism a kick-start if you use weight loss pills that boost you metabolic rate.Some of these weight loss pills may cause irritability and sleeplessness. If these occur you may want to take smaller doses until you body adjusts to the new element or you may want to try an entirely different product all together. There are many options when it comes to weight loss pills so you have a great number of choices.
Metabolic rate problems are not only for ex-dieters who have slowed their systems down to a screeching halt. Many people turn to weight loss pills when they are over thirty five years of age. As we know, we slow down as we get older. Sometimes our metabolic rates slow down as well. Using a weight loss pill can help you regain some of this lost metabolism. Your metabolism is determined by gender, age, amount of muscle you have compared to body fat and the amount of exercise you do on a regular basis. Male's rates are higher than females because of testosterone.
Some of us use weight loss pills just to maintain our current size. After having children and gaining and losing a bunch of weight, I was struggling with the last ten pound that I had to lose. I found that a lot of diet and exercise was not enough for me to reach my goal. Weight reduction pills helped me get to the size that I wanted to be. However, those last 10 pounds crept back on in no time. I abruptly quit taking supplements and I found that the extra pounds snuck back on when I wasn’t paying attention. Using weight loss pills has helped me get that final 10 pounds to lose back off but I still use them to maintain my weight as well. I just use them sparingly.
Eventually, I will have weaned myself off of weight loss pills all together. Just like anything else, if you start or quit too abruptly, you will have negative consequences. Balance and moderation is the key to successfully using weight loss pills for reduction as well as maintenance.

Being overweight is extremely dangerous and can lead to a variety of health problems and in some cases death due to complications from weight.
Here are some free weight loss tips to help you get started.
Set a REALISTIC goal for weight loss. When we say realistic we mean do not set your goals in a range which may be unachievable or unhealthy. The best way to determine how much weight you should lose is to find out what the average weight is for someone that is your height, age, and gender. When you do this in most cases, you will see a range of about 10 to 12 lbs for your specific gender, age, and height. The lower number is for those who have a small framed body, the higher is for someone who has a large frame. For medium frames, somewhere between the two numbers is ideal.
Don't get discouraged. There are several ways that dieters become discouraged when trying to reach their weight loss goals. One is if they were losing a lot at the beginning then start to slow down and the other is if they cheat or have setbacks.
If you find that you lost weight a lot at the beginning say six to ten pounds in the first week, then dropped to only one to four pounds the next week do not get discouraged. This is absolutely normal. Many people until their bodies adjust to their new methods of eating will lose many pounds in the first week. As time goes and the body adjusts, the rate of weight loss will decrease. It is acceptable to lose one to two pounds a week.
Furthermore, if you cheat or have a setback, this is a normal occurrence as well. It is important that you realize this and get right back on your diet. These free weight loss tips are designed to help keep you on the right track. If you make a mistake, just start over again, or pick up where you left off, it does not mean you will never lose the weight.
While there are only two free weight loss tips in this article, these are the two biggest tips you need to be aware of. The only other tips you really need to know is choose a weight loss program that is suitable for your needs, reliable, and well worth your time and effort.

"fad" Weight Loss Diet
Overview:
Obesity is a physical state that refers to excessive body fat. Chances are you have experienced the frustrations of dieting at least once in your life, if you have problems with your weight. Close to a hundred million Americans go on a weight loss diet in any given year and up to ninety-five percent of them regain the weight they lose within five years. Worse, a third will gain back more weight than they lost, in danger of "yo-yoing" from one popular diet to another. The conventional approach to weight problems, focusing on fad weight loss diets or weight loss drugs, may leave you with just as much weight and the additional burden of ill health.
Today, an estimated sixty-five percent of all American adults are obese or overweight. Our culture obsesses about staying thin even as we grow fatter, but this isn’t about appearances. Obesity is known to be a precursor to many debilitating health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis, and gallbladder disease. Obesity contributes to as many as 375,000 deaths every year. In addition, the public health costs for obesity are staggering. According to researchers at Harvard University, obesity is a factor in 19% of all cases of heart disease with annual health costs estimated at 30 billion dollars; it’s also a factor in 57% of diabetes cases, with health costs of $9 billion per year.
Set Realistic Goals:
No doubt you have fallen for one or more of the weight loss diet schemes over the years, promising quick and painless weight loss. Many of these quick weight loss diet programs undermine your health, cause physical discomfort, flatulence, and ultimately lead to disappointment when you start regaining weight, shortly after losing it. Fad or quick weight loss diet programs generally overstress one type of food. They contravene the fundamental principle of good nutrition - to remain healthy one must consume a balanced diet, which includes a variety of foods. Safe, healthy, and permanent weight reduction is what’s truly lost among the thousands of popular diet schemes.
Some of the weight loss diet schemes reign supreme briefly, only to fade out. While some wane from popularity due to being unproductive or unsafe, some simply lose the public's curiosity. Examples of such fad diets include the South Beach Diet, Atkins diet, the Grapefruit diet, Cabbage Soup diet, the Rotation diet, Beverly Hills diet, Breatharian, Ornish Plan – the list goes on and on. These fad diets advocate a specific technique (such as eliminating a certain food, or eating only certain combinations of foods) in conjunction with the basic idea that the body makes up the difference in energy by breaking down and utilizing some part of itself, essentially converting matter into energy. This self-cannibalism, or catabolism as it is referred, typically starts with breakdown of stored body fat.

Weight Loss Motivation
It takes motivation to lose weight. Since willpower can’t be bottled and sold, is there something a person can do to boost their own self determination?
Here’s the scenario: you have two athletes poised at the starting line for a race. Both have trained equal amounts of time and both were born with the same amount of athletic ability. So, who will win the race? Psychologist may answer with this, “the one who wants it most.” In the end, it all boils down to drive and determination. The battle against weight loss is no different. The people who get the most results are often the ones with the most weight loss motivation.
How much weight loss motivation do you have? If you’re like most people who have struggled with weight issues, you might report that you just can’t quite get motivated to lose the weight. Maybe you’ve acknowledged that you have a weight loss problem. You want to change it. Maybe you even forked over the money to join a gym. Maybe you’re one of the people who has bought home exercise product after product that you saw on infomercials only to slide them into the closet. Have you tried fad diet after fad diet only to end up quitting because you don’t have real weight loss motivation?
Many people who lack weight loss motivation start new diets only to become hungry and instantly discouraged. As they give in, eating the food they want, they fervently promise themselves that they’ll go on a diet into tomorrow. Tomorrow may turn into the next day. Sometimes the next day turns into never as weight loss plans get pushed back indefinitely. Why can’t everyone have weight loss motivation?
The bottom line is that some people are more driven than others. If you feel like you don’t have enough weight loss motivation, it’s important not to get down on yourself. You can get in gear to achieve your weight loss goals. You may just need an extra push to help you get started.
Hoodia Gordonii has helped many people achieve weight loss motivation and go on to lose all the weight they’d always dreamed of. If you’re wondering how this can be possible if you don’t have willpower and motivation, it’s because Hoodia Gordonii makes it easy. This cactus-like plant was discovered in the late 1990’s, but it was eaten by Bushmen for centuries to ward off hunger during long journeys through the desert.
When the plant was tested on animals, the animals lost weight! Now, you too can benefit by incorporating this safe and healthy vegetable into your daily diet. You will have the weight loss motivation you need because you won’t be hungry. Hoodia totally diminishes your appetite, reducing it by up to 2,000 calories per day. Do the math. If you cut your calories drastically, you are guaranteed to lose weight. Before long, you can have that spectacular body you’ve always wanted.
It’s time that you stop telling yourself you can’t lose weight. You can achieve the results you’ve always wanted. Now, it’s easier than ever.
