Knock yourself out. It is all in there.
My Boxer is 6, and we started feeding him Authority Harvest Baked about a year ago, and he’s gained a lot of weight. So I need to know a good weight control dog food to put him on. And also we have a Boston Terrier that’s not over weight, but we feed them the same food so would it be ok for her to eat the weight control too? Because I really don’t want to buy two different kinds of food, and they eat out of each other’s bowls.
Try a grain-free food. Dogs don’t need grain, and foods with grain often cause obesity because of all the carbs that dogs don’t even need.
Here are some grain-free foods:
Wellness CORE (they also have a low-fat formula)
Orijen
Nature’s Variety Instinct
Innova EVO
Solid Gold Barking at the Moon
Is green tea good for weight control? yes or no and how much a day?
Green tea may help a bit, but it isn’t a solution, you can’t expect to lose weight by just drinking green tea, otherwise you’re going to gain weight.
Try to diet and exercise and maybe the green tea will speed up the process.
I’m a guy 5′8" 130 lbs. Is this possible? For example could I do cardio in the morning, then eat and 8 hours later or so lift weights then eat a little again? If not, how can I control my weight while still building muscle?
do 20 minutes of cardio before breakfast, no more than that b/c then you’re gonna start losing muscle, have protein with every meal and snack, and do at least 40 minutes of strenght training followed by a protein meal
My horse gets overweight even though he is only eating in the pasture and getting exercised regularly. Is there a supplement to increase a horse’s metabolism? Is there anything else I can do to get him back to his proper weight and control it thereafter?
What is regular exercise? Means different things to different people.
If your pasture is rich and lush, you could cut back on that. The fructans (sugars/carbs) are highest in the grasses when they are under stress. In the summer that would be probably between 10 AM and 5PM. So you could bring him in during these hours and feed him free choice grass hay and then turn him out at night. Or if you have a paddock that is a dry lot, put him in there during the worst hours and give him free choice grass hay. then, more exercise, exercise. There is no supplement that will help. I presume he gets no grain and doesn’t need it to be healthy. Just make sure his forage is adequate so he is getting proper vitamins and minerals since his food sources are forage only. Easy keepers can be a blessing but then can be really difficult as well. You could also consider a grazing muzzle for him to make him really have to move around and work to eat. I would not really recommend stalling him if you don’t have to. He definitely needs to be walking around as much as possible. If you put him in a dry paddock, make sure you scatter his hay around in small piles all over so he has to walk about to get to it. Little things can make a difference but it takes time. I wish you success. I have an easy keeper QH that seems to get fat on air so I know what you are dealing with. good luck
What Is The Difference Between The Idea Of Set Points Versus Settling Points In Relation To Weight Control?
That's a toughie…
This video is the second half of the Atkins Diet Misconception: Diabetes series. If you have not seen Part 1, please watch it here:
The last video dealt with case ing the existing treatment or recommendations to follow a high carb diet managed with ever increasing doses of insulin. This video deals with the evidence for rather managing it with a low carb lifestyle. There are two great studies for advocating this method.
1:) Dietary carbohydrate restriction in type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome: time for a critical appraisal
Nutrition and Metabolism(Lond) 2008; 5: 9.
Numerous authors including Richard Bertstein, Mary Vernon, Jeff Volek, Eric Westman
http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=2359752&tool=pmcentrez
Conducted Multi-center trial in which 63 obese men and women were randomly igned to either diet, 21 Low Carb, 21 Control, 21 High Carb for a one year study.
This discussion focuses on type 2 diabetes but many of the principles will apply to metabolic syndrome and possibly to type 1 as well[6,7].
1. Carbohydrate restriction improves glycemic control, the primary target of nutritional therapy and reduces insulin fluctuations.
2. Carbohydrate-restricted diets are at least as effective for weight loss as low-fat diets.
3. Substitution of fat for carbohydrate is generally beneficial for markers for and incidence of CVD.
4. Carbohydrate restriction improves the features of metabolic syndrome.
An important idea guiding current medical thinking is that clustering of seemingly disparate physiologic states, obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia and hypertension, termed metabolic syndrome (MetS) suggests a common underlying cause. A recent review showed that carbohydrate restriction improves all of these markers[24].
5. Beneficial effects of carbohydrate restriction do not require weight loss. It’s not simply a weight loss argument or due to people losing weight do they achieve the benefits.
2.) Low-carbohydrate diet in type 2 diabetes: stable improvement of bodyweight and glycemic control during 44 months follow-up

Conclusion:
There is now little evidence for the claim that a fat-reduced diet for weight reduction has any particular value beyond caloric counting [10]. Current dietary recommendations seem to be a major part of their problem rather than being part of the solution. Carbohydrate restriction, however, reverses or neutralises all aspects of the metabolic syndrome [20,21].

Hi!
This is my 4th video about my weight loss journey on Weight Watchers. I had a few requests about my daily menu as well as motivation strategies. I hope you enjoy!
Special thanks to my 145 subscribers!
No significant weight loss to report 
but hopefully I will soon! I am staying on plan and hoping I will break through my plateau!
Good luck to everyone!
Thanks for the comments and messages, too!

***********************
Here’s the low-down on what I’m doing to lose weight and how it works.
1. Figure out what your “maintain weight” calories are and eat 500 calories LESS than that number every day.
2. Exercise for at least 30 minutes, 5x/week.
3. Drink water! Divide your weight in half and drink that number in ounces of water every day.
(4. Make healthier choices as you go along and get better at doing steps 1-3.)
FROM THE VIDEO:
The salad is:
1 Bowl of Romaine Lettuce and Spinach
2 Tbsp Light Vinaigrette Dressing
1/2 Tomato, sliced
1/4 Cucumber, peeled and sliced
1/4 Cup Garlic Feta Cheese
= around 110-130 calories 
YUM!
Green Tea (and similar Asian teas), English Breakfast Tea and Irish Breakfast Tea need no sweetener if you use 1 Tsp of lemon juice instead (0 calories).
Vanilla chai (and decaf vanilla chai), peppermint tea and bangal spice teas all also need no sweeteners or additives of any kind.
If you have questions, feel free to ask!

There is no hard and fast answer to how much a person should weigh in order to be healthy. But, women need to be concerned about weight because it can and does affect overall health. Obesity, or being overweight, can result in premature death and can contribute to many problems, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, diabetes, cancer, breathing problems, arthritis, and problems with pregnancy, labor and delivery.
The first, and best, thing to do is to talk with your health care provider about your weight. Together, you can talk about what a healthy weight is for you, based on your height, build (bone size, amount of muscle) and age.
You can also use a tool called the Body Mass Index (BMI) to give you a pound range for a healthy weight. You take your weight and height and see where you fall on the BMI table for adults (see below). There is also a handy BMI calculator at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute’s web site (see resources at the end of this FAQ).
Some general guidelines for losing weight safely are:
• Eat fewer calories. The best formula for losing weight is to decrease the number of calories you get while increasing your physical activity every day. Depending on how active you are, you may need between 1,500 — 2,500 calories a day. A safe plan is to eat 300 to 500 fewer calories a day to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week.
• Lose weight slowly. It is best to aim for losing 1/2 to 2 pounds a week. By improving eating and exercise habits, you will develop a healthier lifestyle. And, this will help you to control your weight over time. You will also lower your chances of getting heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. ‘Crash’ diets may take off pounds faster, but can cause you to gain back even more pounds than you lost after you stop the diet.
• Exercise. Get active for at least 30 minutes every day. You don’t have to train for a marathon to be active! Brisk walking, gardening, riding a bicycle, …
