New research shows that eating pricey organic foods may not necessarily make you healthier. Studies that compared organic milk, meats, eggs, and produce to non-organic foods found that organic foods did not appear to have more vitamins or nutrients than non-organic.
Organic food was 30% less likely to have pesticides than non-organic food. But the FDA limits the amount of pesticides used in non-organic food and not all organic food was found to be 100% pesticide free. (more…)

Want to lose weight? According to a new study, dropping the pounds is as easy as keeping a food journal.
Researchers from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle studied the eating behaviors of 123 overweight, previously inactive women for a year. Women who kept food journals and consistently wrote down the foods they ate lost about six pounds more than women who didn’t.
Women who reported skipping meals lost almost eight fewer pounds than women who did not, and those who ate out for lunch at least weekly lost on average five fewer pounds than those who brought in their lunch.
Researcher Anne McTiernan, MD, PhD, and her team wrote in the study, “Eating in restaurants usually means less individual control over ingredients and cooking methods, as well as larger portion sizes.”
Tips for creating your food journal:
• Write down what you’re eating throughout the day, rather than saving it up to log at the end of the day. Also, jot down how you are feeling when you eat, and how what you eat makes you feel.
• Record your level of hunger along with the foods you eat.
• Be honest. Measure portions, read food labels, and write down both your slipups as well as your more virtuous meals.
The study appears in the latest issue of the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Drew Manning, fitness trainer gains and loses 70 pounds in one year, shown on Good Morning America
When Drew Manning stepped out from behind the cardboard cutout of his former fat self on Monday, the audience of “Good Morning America” was appropriately shocked.
The fitness trainer’s journey had come to an end after successfully losing more than 70 pounds — six months after he purposely gained the same amount. “Like it never happened,” host George Stephanopoulos said.
“Kind of,” Manning said. Both Manning and his wife, Lynn, can attest that a lot actually has changed in the past year. While Manning’s body may have returned to its six-pack heydays, his mind, in many ways, has not. (more…)
The following is a great article on the DoctorOz.com website that talks about the importance sleep has on weight loss.
By Kristin Kirkpatrick, MS, RD, LD
We all have had evenings where we went to bed too late and got up too early right? A key point is that the following day, we usually eat more than usual. Have you ever asked yourself why this occurs? Research shows that metabolic changes that occur due to loss of productive sleep may alter your sense of hunger, thus making you want to eat more. Now a new study has linked sleep duration with fat to muscle ratio loss in dieters. The study paired individuals into 2 groups, one experiencing healthy sleep duration while the other was made to become sleep deprived over several weeks. Both groups were put on a calorie restricted diet. The findings showed that the individuals that enjoyed normal sleeping patterns lost more fat than muscle while the sleep deprived group lost more muscle mass. Muscle weighs more than fat and burns more calories at rest. That means the more muscle you have, the more fat and calorie burning you’re doing sitting around just twiddling your thumbs! If you thought just burning calories was all that was needed to lose weight, think again. Truly being able to lose weight and keep it off involves dietary changes as well as behavior management, exercise and yes … even a good night’s sleep.
Phase 3: Stabilization
The following is a 1,200 calorie plan you can use as a guideline for success in Phase 3. The first 3 days after you stop taking the drops you will continue the “diet” without taking any drops. Then, you can introduce one “new food” per day to see what foods your body handles well and what foods cause a problem i.e. weight gain. The goal is to stay within two pounds of your weight at the end of Phase 2 to properly reset your body to your new weight. For best results keep your total caloric intake between 1,200-1,500 calories per day during Phase 3.
Be sure to consume balanced meals which include one selection from the protein, one vegetable, and one fruit while continuing to avoid starches and sugars. You can substitute a selection from the dairy group to replace the protein in a meal or you can select a serving of dairy as a snack. Be sure to choose low carb vegetables and low sugar fruits to avoid weight gain. Also, you can adjust the number of calories down to 800-900 if you feel you are not active enough to burn the full 1,200 calories, or adjust your caloric intake up if you are more active.

Recommended Dosage:
Take 10 drops 3 times per day under the tongue and hold for 1-2 minutes. Do not eat or drink for 10 minutes before or after taking drops. Not recommended for children under 18 years of age.
Instructions:
Phase 1 – Load :
Start taking the drops. You will need to take 10 drops 3 times per day. Once in the morning; again 30 minutes before lunch; and then again 30 minutes beforedinner. Place the drops under your tongue and hold them there for 60 seconds,swallow the remaining liquid.
The first 2 days of taking the drops, you must eatas much high fat food as you possibly can. This is called ‘forced feeding’, and itis very important because during these 2 days you are storing fat to be used asenergy during the low calorie portion of the diet. You do not want to skimp on thispart. Your energy level will suffer if you don’t do this step correctly.
The best foods to eat are milk chocolate, pastries, ice cream, peanut butter,bread with lots of butter, and pork products. Look for foods with high fat content.Don’t worry about the weight you gain during these first 2 days (Please refer to allowed foods sections). (more…)
What kind of make-up/cosmetics can I use while on the hCG diet protocol and hCG diet support products?
Mineral make-up is best. Whatever you use must be oil free. Be sure to read the ingredients on everything you put on your skin to be sure it doesn’t contain oil. If you use products containing oil, you will stall your weight loss. (more…)
