June 2004

Welcome to my blog, where you'll find short tips, quick stories, resource links and other useful stuff about weight loss for professionals. Its also where I rant and rave from time to time. I hope you find it useful!

14 June 2004 - Read about The Way We Eat Now

Great indepth article The Way we Eat Now from Harvard Magazine from the University of the same name. Quotes from a bunch of academic gurus about the world's current predicament with obesity.

Please alert me if the link changes!

10 June 2004 - Of course you can't "spot reduce" body fat!

Otherwise overweight people who chew gum all day would have skinny heads.

7 June 2004 - Food companies cough up cash for calories

Politicians have been long criticised for sitting heavily on their thumbs rather than doing something at a national level to fight obesity. Finding funds for public education campaigns has always been a challenge and a reason to pass the buck.

But that may now change as food companies (the type that generally sell high-calorie tasty treats to kids!) get ready to dig deep or face bans on fast food advertusing the children.

In the UK the Guardian Newspaper today reported on leaked information suggesting that goverment would pay 1 pound for every 3 paid by the food industry to fund sport and physical activity initiatives for children.

At last... this will create some really creative and innovative programs that with the backing of goverment, the food industry and health professionals may make a dint in the obesity epidemic.

Now I'm off to the local takeaway to hit them up for some cash to fund a local activity challange!
