To compare different approaches to weight loss many some U.S. researchers who were working on a study found that weight reduction could be doubled if a food diary was kept. According to these researchers, the participants lost more weight if they had more and proper food records.

The researchers from Kaiser Permanente’s Center for Health Research conducted the study and it will be published in the American Journal of Prevention Medicine’s August issue.

The study has been considered as one of the biggest and longest running weight loss preservation trials ever made, the researchers told in a press statement. It is also somewhat unique that most of the participants of the study (almost 44 %) were blacks and had increased risks for diseases like cardiovascular problems, diabetes and many others that becomes worse because of obesity.

You must have come across several studies showing positive and negative effects of chocolates on your health. Almost none of these studies are brand specific and suggestive of what chocolate bars available at your nearby grocery store could be good for your health .Dr Keith Scott-Mumby who is an internationally known expert in the field of Alternative medicine attempted for studying the properties and advantages of a typical chocolate diet.

Chocolates are made from the beans of the cacao tree, known as Theobroma Cacao, according to Dr. Keith Scott- Mymby. The flavanoids of this plant are generally recognized for its antioxidant properties and activities. It is easy to understand that a small bar of chocolate could possibly contain flavanoids equal to the flavanoids contained in almost six apples. It is also equal to four and a half cups of tea or even two glasses of red wine, says Dr Scott-Mumby.

Dr Keith Scott-Mumby has also developed a “Doctor’s Chocolate” with an objective to derive maximum advantages of healthy ingredients of chocolate and avoiding the unhealthy , harmful components that are commonly present in the chocolate bars being marketed by several companies. As an added advantage, this new “Doctor’s Chocolate” also helps in reducing excess weight. If you like chocolates then you may also like eating just one to three pieces of this chocolate everyday and your appetite will be suppressed sufficiently and you will be saved from taking junk food, according to Dr Scott-Mumby.

According to an article published in the British Medical Journal, an additive found in some brands of sugar-free gum may be causing excessive weight loss. Sorbitol is used as a sweetener to enhance the flavor of sugar-free gums, but it unfortunately acts as a laxative.

The discovery was prompted after two patients reported suffering from stomach pain and chronic diarrhea. Both patients were losing tremendous amounts of weight. After narrowing down what could be responsible, doctors finally hit on the fact that both patients chewed an inordinate amount of gum containing Sorbitol.

The first patient consumed approximately 18 to 20 grams of Sorbitol a day, or the equivalent of nearly 20 pieces of gum. The second patient, a man in his 40’s, consumed 30 grams of Sorbitol daily thanks to numerous pieces of gum and sweets containing the additive.

A recently published research study in the “American Journal of Clinical Nutrition” revealed that a diet rich in protein and low with carbohydrates is the most effective measure for reducing weight and hunger in a short span of time.

Scientists at the “Aberdeen’s Rowett Research Institute” conducted this study with obese adults with two different sets of diets. Both of these diets were rich in protein with 30% of the total energy value but had different values of carbohydrates. One of the set of diet was having merely 4% carbohydrates while the other set of diet had moderately balanced 35% energy value carbohydrates.

Researchers say that both these diet sets were equally palatable for the participants but the obese fellows felt less hungry with the high protein less carbohydrate diets set in comparison to the group of participants who took a high protein and moderate carbohydrate diet set.
