By Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN
Most people eat when they’re hungry, or when they want to experience a new food. However, there are some people who eat because, to them, food is like a pacifier. They eat when they are frustrated, angry, sad, depressed or bored. Behavior like this can often lead to a major eating disorder.

Weight Loss Diet: Move Past The Four Letter Word

Fat-Free vs. Regular Calorie Comparison
article syndicated from FDA
You can lose weight by eating fewer calories and by increasing your physical activity. Reducing the amount of total fat and saturated fat that you eat is one way to limit your overall calorie intake. However, eating fat-free or reduced-fat foods isn't always the answer to weight loss. A fat-free food is not necessarily low in calories; in fact, it could be higher in calories because of added sugars. Calories may also be added when you eat more of the reduced-fat or fat-free food than you would of the regular item.

Making It Easier to Shed Pounds
By Paula Kurtzweil
In the past, diet-conscious consumers like Weiss couldn't always count on the food label to give complete nutrition information. The information was required only when a food contained added nutrients or when nutrition claims appeared on the label. In all other cases, the nutrition information was voluntary. When it did appear, it was often hard to find and hard to read.

Guide to Fats
By Eleanor Mayfield
Once upon a time, we didn't know anything about fat except that it made foods tastier. We cooked our food in lard or shortening. We spread butter on our breakfast toast and plopped sour cream on our baked potatoes. Farmers bred their animals to produce milk with high butterfat content and meat 'marbled' with fat because that was what most people wanted to eat.

Don't Blame Me If I'm Fat!
By Jim Foster
The weight loss industry is large, with millions being spent every year by people looking for answers. Like any industry, it has it's share of charlatans and snake-oil salesmen. Many manufacturers of diet pills and weight loss supplements are certainly opportunists - rather than looking to treat the source (i.e. by eating right), they are trying to treat the symptoms. However we have found that most decent commercial weight loss programs have a genuine interest in helping people manage their weight. So it's unfair to cast blame on the entire 'industry'.

Negative Calorie Foods & Weight Loss
By P. Mehta
You gain weight when your calorie intake is more than your calorie expenditure. But if this calorie equation is reversed, then it results in "negative calorie" balance in your body. In this negative calorie case, you expand more calories than you take in, resulting in a decrease in the stored calories in the form of body fat, and you experience a weight loss. About 10% of daily caloric intake is used to process foods in the body. You can expand more by doing physical activities.
