New crop of diet books goes beyond weight loss

Time to dust off the bathroom scale, learn how to open a bag of
carrots and shop for new books that promise better health,
smaller waists and lifetime sex appeal.

This year's crop of diet-resolution aids doesn't just hope to
help your weight-loss efforts. Most come with a secondary
promise: brain health, balanced hormones, lower blood sugar,
pain elimination.

Here's a sample of what's new:

The New Atkins for a New You Cookbook

by Colette Heimowitz

The diet that shouts "Lose up to 15 pounds in 2 weeks!" now has
a cookbook of 200 low-carb recipes you can make in 30 minutes
or less. It hardly sounds like a diet if you get to eat
Lime-Chili Grilled Wings or skirt steak with chimichurri sauce.
Even its No-Bake Cheesecake doesn't sound half bad.
(Touchstone; $19.99)

Master Your Metabolism

by Jillian Michaels

The book by "The Biggest Loser's" meanest trainer ever is now
out in paperback. Michaels reaches out to yo-yo dieters with a
plan that promises to tap into fat-burning hormones. She urges
readers to dump "anti-nutrients" such as hydrogenated fats,
refined grains, high-fructose corn syrup and artificial
sweeteners in favor of lean meats, whole grains and fresh fruit
and vegetables. (Three Rivers Press; $15)

The Doctors 5-Minute Health Fixes

by The Doctors, with Mariska vanAalst

The physicians known for their popular TV show offer quick
advice — now in paperback — on a variety of health topics,
including weight. Diet advice boils down to five tips: Cook
your own food at home; get help if you're an emotional eater;
walk 30 minutes a day, five days a week; eat carbs, protein and
fat at every meal; watch portion size. (Rodale; $17.99)

The Women's Health Diet

by Stephen Perrine, with Leah Flickinger and the editors of
Women's Health

If you can remake your body in "just 27 days" like the book
cover promises, maybe your body wasn't in such bad shape after
all. Still, if you focus on healthy foods, get rid of sugary
drinks and exercise as the book advocates, you'll likely lose
fat and build muscle — and that's what we're all after, right?
Its authors spend a fair amount of space going over the
"Secrets of the Slim" — eating fresh produce, never skipping
breakfast, learning to love salad. It provides plenty of
resources to help you navigate supermarket aisles and
restaurant menus. (Rodale; $25.99)

The Men's Health Diet

by Stephen Perrine, with Adam Bornstein, Heather Hurlock
and the editors of Men's Health

This version for men is much like its women's counterpart, save
for language that's more likely to appeal to guys. For example,
"Secrets of the Slim" becomes "Rules of the Ripped." Its list
of "best foods" for men are much like those of women, but
organized differently and geared to men's tastes. (Rodale;
$25.99)

The Diet Detective's All-American Diet

by Charles Platkin

The book's cover refers to Platkin as a "Dr.," but he's a
Ph.D., not an M.D. This public-health advocate has put forth a
book that would appeal only to people who don't want to cook
and have no interest in learning how. It focuses on exercise in
one short chapter, then lays out a plan for building meals and
menus out of convenience foods such as Pop-Tarts (no kidding),
instant oatmeal, Jimmy Dean sausage biscuits and Stouffer's
lasagna. Not to completely diss the plan; it includes hundreds
of convenience foods, including some that are lower in sodium,
fat and/or sugar and will surely help you control how much you
eat. (Rodale; $19.99)

Six Weeks to Skinny Jeans

by Amy Cotta

The author's picture-perfect derriere on the cover will surely
catch the attention of any woman who's looked backward at a
three-way mirror and shuddered. Cotta, a Nashville-area fitness
trainer, provides before and after photos of her clients — real
women with lives, jobs, children and imperfect bodies - who —
lost a jeans size or two in six weeks. Her plan will have you
watching your carbs, relying on low-glycemic "skinny" foods,
working out and keeping a diet-exercise log. (Rodale; $24.99)

Calories count, but source doesn't matter: study

(Reuters) - People trying to lose weight may swear by specific
diet plans calling for strict proportions of fat, carbs and
protein, but where the calories come from may not matter as
much as simply cutting back on them, according to a study.

Researchers whose results were published in the American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition found there were no differences in
weight
loss or the reduction of fat between four diets with different
proportions of fat, carbohydrates and protein.

"The major predictor for weight loss was 'adherence'. Those
participants who adhered better, lost more weight than those
who did not," said George Bray, at Pennington Biomedical
Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who worked on
the study.

Earlier research had found that certain diets -- in particular,
those with very low carbohydrates -- worked better than others,
Bray told Reuters Health in an email, but there had been no
consensus among scientists.

Bray and his colleagues randomly assigned several hundred
overweight or obese people to one of four diets: average
protein, low fat and higher carbs; high protein, low fat and
higher carbs; average protein, high fat and lower carbs; or
high protein, high fat and lower carbs.

Each of the diets was designed to cut 750 calories a day.

After six months and again at two years after starting the
diets, researchers checked participants' weight, fat mass and
lean mass.

At six months, people had lost more than 4.1 kg (9 lbs) of fat
and close to 2.3 kg (5 lbs) of lean mass, but they regained
some of this by the two-year mark.

People were able to maintain a weight loss of more than 3.6 kg
(8 lbs) after two years. Included in this was a nearly 1.4 kg
(3 lb) loss of abdominal fat, a drop of more than seven
percent.

But many of the people who started in the study dropped out,
and the diets of those who completed it were not exactly what
had been assigned.

For example, the researchers had hoped to see two diet groups
get 25 percent of their calories from protein and the other two
groups get 15 percent of their calories from protein. But all
four groups ended up getting about 20 percent of their calories
from protein after two years.

"If you're happier doing it low fat, or happier doing it low
carb, this paper says it's OK to do it either way. They were
equally successful," said Christopher Gardner, a Stanford
University professor uninvolved in the study.

"They did have difficulties with adherence, so that really
tempers what you can conclude," he added.

In the end, he said, people should choose the diet that's
easiest for them to stick with. SOURCE: http://bit.ly/zUm9ep

Dairy products may help people lose weight

Cheese, milk, yoghurt and other dairy foods could help dieters
lose those extra kilograms, a new scientific study suggests.

Researchers have reviewed 14 clinical trials involving 883
adults, which delved into how consuming dairy impacted on
people's weight, body fat, waistlines and lean muscle mass.

The authors of the article, published this month in the
International Journal of Obesity, said they wanted to reveal
more about the relationship between weight loss and dairy
consumption, which they argued was "still to be fully
explored".

Boosting dairy intake without cutting energy intake might not
lead to a significant change in weight, but if adults included
three to four servings of dairy per day in an energy-restricted
diet they were likely to experience weight loss, as well as a
shrinking of the waistline.

"Dairy consumption would help people to lose weight from fat
compartments of the body, particularly from abdominal adipose
tissue, which has been reported as a main determinant of
cardiovascular risk factors," the review found.

Dairy Australia dietician Glenys Zucco said the organisation
had nothing to do with the study but welcomed it.

She said more research was needed to understand how dairy foods
helped in weight loss when dieting.

Ms Zucco said earlier research suggested that dairy calcium
might help people lose extra padding by decreasing the amount
of fat absorbed from foods.

"Dairy protein and calcium are thought to help control
hunger, particularly in a calorie-restricted diet," Ms Zucco
said.

Why Skimping On Sleep And Working Overtime Is Killing Your Productivity

Arianna Huffington talks often about
how the key to her productivity is
sleep.

It's a smart suggestion, not least because so many of us still
imagine that the more we work, the more productive we are. For
over a hundred years or more, this has been deemed nonsense.

The first productivity studies were conducted by Ernst Abbe at
the Zeiss lens laboratories in the 1880s. They indicated what
every other productivity study has shown since: that, up to
around 40 hours a week, we're all pretty productive but, after
that, we become less able to deliver reliable, cost-effective
work. Why? Because when we get tired, we make mistakes—and the
extra hours we put in are absorbed by correcting our errors.
This is demonstrably true in industries like software coding,
in which mistakes can cost a lot of time to put right. But it
is equally true in manufacturing where more units of production
also mean more flaws and waste.

Even though the data around productivity has proved pretty
remorseless, humans have found the message hard to accept. It
seems so logical that two units of work will produce twice the
output. Logical but wrong. The critical measure of work isn't
and never should be input but output. What matters isn't how
many hours your team puts in, but the quality and quantity of
work they produce.

Which is where sleep comes in. Although we might all like to
imagine that we can work happily through the night, once again
the data's all against us. Lose just one night's sleep and your
cognitive capacity is roughly the same as being over the
alcohol limit. Yet we regularly hail as heroes the executives
who take the red eye, jump into a rental car, and zoom down the
highway to the next meeting. Would we, I wonder, be so
impressed if they arrived drunk?

The reason sleep is so important is because fatigue isn't
simple. When we are tired, our performance doesn't degrade
equally. Instead, when you lose a night's sleep, the parietal
and occipital lobes in your brain become less active. The
parietal lobe integrates information from the senses and is
involved in our knowledge of numbers and manipulation of
objects. The occipital lobe is involved in visual processing.
So the parts of our mind responsible for understanding the
world and the data around us start to slow down. This is
because the brain is prioritizing the thalamus—the part of your
brain responsible for keeping you awake. In evolutionary terms,
this makes sense. If you're driven to find food, you need to
stay awake and search, not compare recipes.

After 24 hours of sleep deprivation, there is an overall
reduction of six percent in glucose reaching the brain. (That's
why you crave donuts and candy.) But the loss isn't shared
equally; the parietal lobe and the prefrontal cortex lose 12
percent to 14 percent of their glucose. And those are the areas
we most need for thinking: for distinguishing between ideas,
for social control, and to be able to tell the difference
between good and bad.

I've sat in many boardrooms through the night, at the end of
which seriously bad deals were done, I've seen the cost of
sleep deprivation. Not just in bad tempers, bad diets, and bad
decisions. But in the loss of truly productive work and
discussion that could have been less heroic but a lot more
valuable.

Nausea, dizziness, weight loss, headaches, vomiting: These symptoms sometimes add up to POTS

Nausea, dizziness, weight loss, headaches, vomiting: These
symptoms sometimes add up to POTS

It was in August 2007 that Anthony and Francine Pugliese began
taking their daughter, Nina, to an assortment of doctors for an
assortment of symptoms. Then 12, she was nauseated, vomiting,
lightheaded and extremely fatigued. Her heart rate was
increased.

As time went on and no diagnosis was forthcoming, the Jefferson
Hills girl's symptoms got worse.

"She's losing weight; she can't function in school," Mrs.
Pugliese said. "She loves basketball; she was trying to play
basketball, but she would get violently sick after a game."

Victoria Piekut, 15, of North Huntingdon, started struggling
with severe body pain, nausea, lightheadedness, body tremors
and severe headaches she described as migraines back in the
sixth grade, said her mother, Chris. Victoria couldn't stand
for more than a short period. Her symptoms worsened over the
next couple of years as her parents sought medical answers.

Between her junior and senior years at Penn Hills High School,
Julee Catania, now 19 and a sophomore at Washington &
Jefferson College, walked onto a softball field for a game and
started having double vision. "I got dizzy and real nauseous,"
she said.

The symptoms continued, and Julee also went to numerous doctors
and made several trips to emergency rooms without learning why
she was ill.

When he was in fifth grade, now 18-year-old Micah Mason of
Harrison began having headaches and dizziness; throwing up was
a regular part of his morning routine. A search for a diagnosis
was unsuccessful. He began to consider his symptoms a regular
part of his life.

During the 2010-11 basketball season, the Highlands High School
shooting star started losing weight. By Feb. 28, when he went
to the emergency room with an eye infection that left him
temporarily blind in that eye, he was down about 30 pounds. In
early May, he began having hard, erratic heartbeats, and his
legs felt as if he were running through cement.

Then, on May 15, he had his scariest episode while driving with
his mother, Karen, to a tournament.

"He couldn't breathe. He was holding onto me, holding his
chest," Mrs. Mason recalled.

They arrived at the school and went in. "He was white-faced,
his eyes sunken. He went to the bathroom, came out and said,
'Let's go. I need to go to a hospital.' "

Two days later, he finally got a diagnosis at Children's
Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC -- the same one the other three
teens eventually got.

They all had POTS, or postural orthostatic tachycardia
syndrome. It also is called orthostatic tachycardia, postural
tachycardia, postural tachycardia syndrome, orthostatic
intolerance and mitral valve prolapse syndrome. Orthostatis
simply means standing upright; tachycardia is an abnormally
rapid heart rate.

It is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system, which
controls involuntary organ functions, and it could affect as
few as 200,000 Americans or more than a million, experts say.
Those numbers vary, in part, because those experts argue about
the causes.

Satish Raj, a cardiac electrophysiologist and preeminent POTS
expert who does clinical research at the Autonomic Dysfunction
Center at Vanderbilt University, offers the following
definition of POTS:

"It is a chronic disorder where patients feel unwell more
acutely when upright and feel somewhat better when they're
lying down and where the problem is not primarily a drop in
their blood pressure when they're upright, but rather an
excessive increase in their heart rate."

According to POTS experts, a patient's heart rate increases by
at least 30 beats a minute when he or she stands.

When Micah Mason had his episode May 15, his pulse rate went
from about 40 -- an excellent rate for a well-conditioned
athlete -- to more than 120 in just a few seconds.

Besides the nausea and dizziness, patients complain of what
they call "brain fog," something Dr. Raj said may have more to
do with concentration or attention than memory; changes in
their vision; increased sweating when standing and exercise
intolerance.

What causes those symptoms?

"In some patients, it may be due to not getting enough blood
flow to the brain while you're standing. You may be OK when
you're lying down," said David Robertson, a neurologist and
clinical pharmacologist who founded and directs the Autonomic
Research Consortium at Vanderbilt.

Why that is the case is not that simple. Dr. Robertson cautions
that "what physicians label as POTS is probably dozens of
diseases. Each disease may have its own characteristics and its
own cause."

In Dallas, Benjamin D. Levine of the Institute for Exercise and
Environmental Medicine, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital,
believes that deconditioning is frequently the cause of POTS --
stay in bed ill a few days or more and your heart rate will
increase when you finally get up. He is a huge proponent of an
exercise conditioning program as treatment.

Victoria Piekut tried the program last year and felt
symptom-free for the first couple of weeks. Then, her mother
said, she began to dehydrate despite a normal amount of fluids.
Eventually she ended up in a hospital on pain medications and
intravenous fluids.

"That amount of exercise [an hour a day, five days a week] was
too much for her," Mrs. Piekut said. "She couldn't take in
enough fluids. That's kind of the problem with POTS: Everybody
reacts differently."

Dr. Raj said there are many POTS patients in whom low blood
volume, or the amount of blood in their bodies, may be the
underlying trigger for the disorder. The reason for that low
volume is unclear, he said, and he is doing federally funded
research on the question.

And, he said, "there are other patients that we say have
neuropathic POTS." That means there is damage to the peripheral
sympathetic nerves, which normally would stimulate the blood
vessels to tighten and support blood pressure and return blood
back to the central vasculature (blood vessels) and the heart.

"Again, it's not fully clear how that relates to the
tachycardia," Dr. Raj said, "but the thought is that perhaps
the blood vessels in the lower extremities in these patients
don't tighten or constrict as well because of the neuropathy."
Poor blood flow then results in more blood pooling in the legs
and less blood returning to the heart.

The treatments are as varied as the potential causes.

"One of the common strategies is to try to increase blood
volume," said pediatric cardiologist Julian Stewart of the New
York Medical College, the foremost researcher into the
mechanisms of orthostatic intolerance in the young. That's done
with fluids and salt or medication, but, he said, "it can be
difficult to salt-load because it takes a lot of salt, which
can be unpalatable. If you took a patient with POTS and infused
saline, they could do pretty much anything temporarily, but it
does not fix the problem.

"There are medications to make vessels contract. There are
medications that can work on heart rate. Sometimes -- this is
very important -- there are medications that work on aspects of
the nervous system directly," he said. "Steady progress is
being made on the underlying mechanisms of disease."

But Dr. Stewart and the other doctors agreed that exercise has
to be included in any treatment strategy.

At the Mayo Clinic Neurological Center in Rochester, Minn.,
Phillip Low, a professor of neurology, said that in the long
term, exercise is more important than medications in treating
Mayo's POTS patients, some of whom "will tell you it's
important to stay fit because if you lose your level of
fitness, you may have more symptoms. Medications have some
value for the control of symptoms for a period of time.

"We sometimes use medications, but it's mainly exercise and
fluids," he added. "Sometimes we'll give them a beta blocker to
slow the heart down a little bit. That's for the short term,
but we don't rely on it in the long term."

At Vanderbilt, which only sees adult patients, Dr. Raj said,
"we talk to everyone about the importance of exercise based on
the [Qi] Fu and [Benjamin D.] Levine data. Everyone pretty much
gets advised to increase their blood volume by diet, and that
means increasing their salt intake and increasing their fluid
volume." He also uses medications, particularly for low blood
volume.

Julee Catania and Nina Pugliese, who were diagnosed and are
being treated by Hasan Abdallah of the Children's Heart
Institute in Reston, Va., take multiple medications. Julee, who
has started playing softball again, walks and tries to live in
a stress-free environment. Nina is home-schooled and does
cardiac training two or three times a week. When she feels well
enough, she plays basketball on an AAU team.

Neither is back to where she was pre-POTS.

Victoria Piekut, who was diagnosed about two years ago by a
POTS cardiologist in Toledo, Ohio, can't take typical POTS
medications, Mrs. Piekut said. "She has, like, allergic
reactions to almost everything they try." She takes vitamins,
goes to a chiropractor and massage therapist, and takes a
weekly dance class and gym class. Getting up is difficult
because of nausea, so she usually misses her first couple of
morning classes.

"It's still a struggle. She's in the ER or MedExpress every
four weeks for IV fluids," her mother said. "She pumps herself
full of Gatorade; it's not enough. If she were sedentary, it
might be enough."

Micah Mason also had trouble with medical solutions to his
POTS. He couldn't take beta blockers -- they would lower his
already low pulse too much. Mrs. Mason was advised not to
permit him to take medication to raise his blood pressure. He
just got sicker when he tried to increase his salt and Gatorade
intake.

Then his mother heard about a chiropractor who was doing
something called neurologic relief technique, which she
described as the chiropractor applying pressure at the base of
the skull behind the ears with half-pound dumbbells or his
fingers. Robert Corcetti of Monroeville examined Micah and
diagnosed meningeal compression of the spine, a trauma-related
condition which he believes caused his patient's POTS symptoms.

Micah began going for treatments four days a week. Meanwhile,
Mr. Corcetti prescribed natural supplements and two liquid and
one regular meal a day; Micah was pretty much restricted to bed
rest.

Now the treatments are once every week and a half, and Micah is
back playing basketball.

"He doesn't come out of the game," Mrs. Mason said recently.
"He scored 49 points Saturday night. It's a miracle. It's an
absolute miracle. Am I certain he's healed? Nope."

That's probably wise, because a POTS recovery takes a long
time, and patients may never be 100 percent healthy again.

"They get better and better ... not as rapidly as they would
like," said Dr. Robertson. "I would say that half the patients
need no medications five years after they present. [The other
half] may need some."

Stop 'splurges' from wrecking your weight-loss

By Joy Bauer, TODAY nutrition expert

We've only a day to go with the 25,000 Pound
Weight-Loss Challenge! And we need everybody's help to make
sure that we hit our goal by Tuesday. Have you recorded your
progress today?
Click here and tell us how it's going.

Nobody eats perfectly all the time, and it’s fine—totally
normal, in fact—to stray from your plan from time to time. But
to be successful in the long-term, you must learn to overcome
these temporary setbacks. You can’t let one binge or one “off
day” turn into a full week, or month, of splurging. 
Instead of dwelling on your mistakes, shake it off and get
right back on track at your very next meal, or the very next
day. Remember, nobody gains weight from one rich meal or a
single slice of cake.  The real trouble starts when you
allow that one “splurge” to snowball into an all-out eating
frenzy. As the challenge draws to a close, it’s important to
remember to take it one meal at a time, and learn to forgive
yourself if you should fall slightly off balance.

To enhance your weight-loss efforts, check out Joy’s
delicious, easy-to-follow meal plan that’s perfectly
formulated to maximize results.

If you've joined the Challenge and not logged your total pounds
lost, go here to
