I am on Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet right now and I know it’s way too early to see results, but I am looking for some helpful tips to add to my lifestyle to lose the weight and keep it off. My main goal is a flat tummy and trimmer thighs & hips. What type of work outs can I do with this diet that will help get rid of my problem areas?
I want to know stories of success & failure from those on or previously on the Atkins diet, especially those of you that JUST did the diet and didn’t exercise. Also, any tips?
Thanks in advance, 10 points for the best, most informative answer!
"WASHINGTON – Kellogg Co., the world’s largest cereal maker, has agreed to raise the nutritional value of cereals and snacks it markets to children.

What is wrong with you PEOPLE, you got fat by yourselves by eating like dogs, not looking what you are eating and demending better foods. Just like truly Americans, you always point at somebody else. Shame on you.
IT’S YOUR FALUT DEAR AMERICNA PEOPLE, NOT THE COMPANIES. EDUCATE YOURSELVES.
Yep, I agree…
No, No, No, not the TV again!!
The character, or rather lack of it is to blame.
I love TV and I could spend hours watchin it, yet I am not even overweight.

Bill would make it illegal to feed the obese
Three legislators want to make it illegal for restaurants to serve obese customers in Mississippi.
House Bill No. 282, which was introduced this month, says: Any food establishment to which this section applies shall not be allowed to serve food to any person who is obese, based on criteria prescribed by the State Department of Health after consultation with the Mississippi Council on Obesity Prevention and Management established under Section 41-101-1 or its successor. The State Department of Health shall prepare written materials that describe and explain the criteria for determining whether a person is obese, and shall provide those materials to all food establishments to which this section applies. A food establishment shall be entitled to rely on the criteria for obesity in those written materials when determining whether or not it is allowed to serve food to any person.
The proposal would allow health inspectors to yank the permit from any restaurant that "repeatedly" feeds extremely overweight customers.
The bill, written by GOP Rep. W. T. Mayhall Jr., was referred to the Judiciary and Public Health committees, but The Jackson Free Press doesn’t expect it to garner much support in the statehouse.
About two-third of Mississippians are considered overweight or obese, according to a recent analysis of federal health data.

Everyone talks about child obesity & Americans being Fat…….why don’t they have cooks to prepare healthy food in elementry schools like they use to instead of feeding them corn dogs & pizza everyday? I refuse to let my grandkids eat that mess! We as parents & grandparents should protest & try to change this ……answers are appreciated!!!
& I always hear & see people say that they don’t have to diet. But If there is a 12 year old girl who is overweight, shouldn’t she be on a diet rather then getting diabetes & other health problems at a young age? What’s with all the excuses?

In America Women are estimated to live to be in their 80s and men are estimated to live to their upper 70s.
In the USA they just recently changed the retirement age to 75 but I heard my generation is expected to live shorter lives due to obesity and diabetes and lack of exercise.
What are the effects of living longer lives? I hear some of the older generation that think that my generation should pay more taxes when I truthfully think that if the government feels 75 is the age to retire it should start NOW and people that were looking forward to Social Security and Medicare should be told to bad to sad the previous presidents messed it up for you and all these extra by-passes people are having to extend their lives have made it where you can’t retired unless the government wants to pass laws about what medicare will and will not cover. I mean why does a eighty something year old need to have a by-pass, why can’t they accept that death is a natural part of life?
Sorry to those that this offends It is a question I been having and am trying to understand.
From what I read when I go to retire it will be 75 years old. Currently they are yes upping it to 67 but I say hell move it to 75 NOW
Americans are becoming fatter by the day it seems. Weight loss surgeries have become very popular. Are fad diets the cause because we do the yo-yo effect with weight loss & gain? Why has obesity become America’s biggest problem? Is it from over-eating? Is it from the hormones in our food to mass produce enough to feed people? A combination? Something else?
