    EGGS

    Two eggs for breakfast plus 1000 calorie diet increases weight loss by 2.3 lbs

    People eating two eggs for breakfast at least five days a week in addition to a suggested diet of 1,000 calories per day lost 2.3 ponds more in two months—5.8 pounds versus 3.5 pounds—than those who were suggested the same diet and who ate the same amount of calories (340 calories) for breakfast as bagels.

    Cholesterol levels were not affected.

    People eating eggs without dieting did not lose any weight.

    STROKE

    Being obese increases the risk of stroke 3-fold in Korean women under 50

    The risk of stroke increases as weight increases, at least in women, according to a study that followed 439,582 Korean women for 13 years.

    Being overweight (BMI 25-26.4) increases the risk of stroke 1.9-fold, and being obese (BMI 30-31.9) increases the risk 3-fold in women under the age of 50.

    In women over 50, the risk also increased, although to a lesser extent; being overweight increases the risk 1.3-fold, and being obese increases the risk 1.6-fold.

    EXERCISE

    Physical inactivity increases risk of obesity 3.9-fold and abdominal obesity 4.8-fold

    Lack of physical activity at 16- to 18-years-old increases risk of obesity 3.9-fold at the age of 25 and increases the risk of abdominal obesity 4.8-fold according to a study of ten identical twins who differed in weight by at least 35 pounds. The study was conducted by researchers from the Obesity Research Unit at Helsinki University Central Hospital in Helsinki, Finland.

    FAT VS CALORIE INTAKE

    People consume 270 more calories when eating a meal with 38% fat vs 24% fat

    The more fat a meal contains, the more calories people eat. This according to a study from researchers at University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver, Colorado, USA.

    When people consumed a diet containing 23.8 percent fat, they consumed an average of 2748 calories per day.

    When they consumed a diet containing 32.7 percent fat, they consumed an additional 235 calories for an average of 2748 calories per day.

    When they consumed a diet containing 38.1 percent fat, they consumed an additional 270 calories for an average of 3018 calories per day.

    “These results show that energy intake increases as dietary fat content increases across the usual range of dietary fat consumed in the United States,” the researcher concluded.

    “Even small reductions in dietary fat could help in lowering total energy intake and reducing weight gain in the population.”

    CALORIES BURNED

    Obese women could burn an additional 300 calories per day if they stood more, sat less

    Resting metabolism in obese women was similar to that of lean women (1601 calories per day versus 1505 calories per day), however, obese women sat 2.5 hours more each day (12.7 hours versus 10.1 hours), stood 2 hours less each day (2.7 hours versus 4.7 hours) and spent half as much time in activity than lean women (2.6 hours versus 5.4 hours) according to a new study.

    This difference in activity accounted for an additional 300 calories burned in lean women.

    The authors of the study concluded that “If the obese women adopted the activity patterns of the lean women, including a modification of posture allocation, an additional 300 [calories] could be expended every day.”

    RITALIN

    Ritalin (methylphenidate) increases resting metabolism by 7% for three hours

    Ritalin (methylphenidate hydrochloride), a stimulant which blocks dopamine reuptake used for attention deficit disorder, increases resting metabolism by 7 percent more than placebo for three hours, and increases metabolism 5 percent following a meal according to a study by researchers at the University of Ottawa in Ontario, Canada.

    Studies have found that injecting dopamine increases resting metabolism 6-15 percent depending on the amount injected.

    The study involved 7 men and 7 women 19- to 37-years-old.

    POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION

    Postpartum depression increases the risk of 11 lbs weight gain 2.5-fold

    Postpartum depression increases the risk of retaining at least 11 pounds of the weight gained during pregnancy one year after giving birth 2.5-fold according to a study from researchers at the Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

    Another study reported that women who reported “depressive symptoms lost less than half as much weight as women without depression”.

    Postpartum depression is estimated to affect between 10 and 15 percent of women.

    POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION

    14-25% of women who give birth are at least 11 pounds heavier one year after delivery

    “For many women, returning to prepregnancy weight is a challenge. Approximately 14–25% of women are at least [11 pounds] heavier one year after delivery,” notes a study from researchers at the Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

    Identified risk factors include higher pre-pregnancy weight, more weight gained during pregnancy, being black, giving birth to their first child, and behaviors including lack of sleep, low physical activity, high trans fat intake, and frequent television viewing the study notes.
