Cut Calories And Lose Weight | Cat Walk Diet - 0 views

  • Losing weight is a life style change if you intend to lose it just once and keep it off!  Fad diets and crash diets can take off weight in a very short period of time.  But keep in mind that usually you end up gaining back all the weight you lost plus a few bonus pounds.  They are also very hard on your body and can lead to heath problems down the road

      i am agree with you that it is very hard to lose weight,and if you use some dangerous ways to lose weight,it will put your health in dangerous,
  • Some of the salads that you find in restaurants have over 1200 calories in them.

      i am surprise of that some of the salad have more that 1200 calories,i think you can't diet if you eat that,it will make you fat.
  • The average rule of thumb is that for every one pound you want to lose, you need to cut out 3500 calories.

    Something that I have been interested in learning about had been Health. I remember my teacher talking about it I was in Elementary school, but she didn't really explain it clearly. Lately , the issue had caught my eye again. I know that many people feel that health is really not important. From what I have heard health is very important no matter what. Now that's just what I have heard, it may or may not be true. I like where it says:That changed in 2006 when he started CookieDiet.com. This year he began selling his cookies at Walgreens and GNC, and opened his first Cookie Diet store in Beverly Hills, Calif. He expects 2009 revenues to be $18 million, up from $12 million in 2008, thanks in part to endorsements from celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Hudson and Kelly Clarkson. In fact, the cookie diet business has proved so lucrative that other companies have popped up: Smart for Life (six 105-calorie cookies a day; a 35-day kit costs $279); the Hollywood Cookie Diet (one 150-calorie cookie three to four times a day, plus a light dinner; $14 to $20 a box); and Soypal Cookies, marketed as "the most popular diet in Japan" (about 22 calories each; $49 a box). The popularity of cookie diets is hardly surprising in this culture of quick fixes. Who wouldn't want to exert the minimal effort to get long-lasting results? Who wouldn't want to lose weight by consuming something verboten on most diets? "The Cookie Diet is very appealing, because it legalizes a food - the cookie - that is banned from most weight-loss programs," said Jenni Schaefer, author of "Goodbye Ed, Hello Me: Recover From Your Eating Disorder and Fall in Love with Life" (McGraw-Hill, 2009).

  • Taking your heavy bags with you to Italy could be costly indeed -- even if the airline accepted them -- largely because of the difference between the so-called piece system baggage rule, which predominates in the United States and on flights between the United States and Europe, and the weight system, which is commonly used in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

  • Airlines in general are adopting tougher baggage rules to keep fuel costs under control. British Airways, for example, no longer accepts any checked baggage over 32 kilograms (70.5 pounds), except for certain items, including musical instruments, electric wheelchairs and sporting equipment, that have not been approved and registered 24 hours in advance. Northwest and American have recently reduced their baggage allowances for coach class to about 50 pounds an item, down from 70 pounds.

      It is very important for an overweight child to engage in physical activity as it can help improve their health and lose weight. The key to fighting obesity is to exercise daily and maintain a healthy eating habit.

  • Children's food choices are also influenced by family meals. Researchers provided a household eating questionnaire to 18,177 children, ranging in ages 11–21, and discovered that four out of five parents let their children make their own food decisions.

      A child's weight is highly influenced by their food choices and family meals. It plays a critical role on their diet.Hence if a parent lets their own child make their own food choices, then that wouldn't be good since kids enjoy eating junk food and fast food, which doesn't do any justice to their bodies. Instead, they should be eating healthy nutritious foods such as vegetables and fruits. It is important for the parent to be in charge of what their child consumes. I found out from another source that studies have shown that almost all childs who are overweight, are due to their parents giving them control over what they want to eat.
  • Breast-feeding for example may protect against obesity in later life with the duration of breast-feeding inversely associated with the risk of being overweight later on.

      However, in some case, its different for other people. For example, females are very conscious about their own body appearance. They are very strict to themselves when it comes to having a nice body image. When influenced by a magazine model to look thin, they would binge and not eat; which later on leads to a serious case of anorexia.
  • Childhood obesity however can also lead to life-threatening conditions including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, sleep problems, cancer, and other disorders.[6][7] Some of the other disorders would include liver disease, early puberty or menarche, eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, skin infections, and asthma and other respiratory problems.
    • Ammy EWSIS
      Ammy EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      Yes this is very true. Child obesity can lead to any of these risky factors.
  • Many children fail to exercise because they are spending time doing stationary activities such as playing video games or watching TV. TV and other technology may be large factors of physically inactive children.

  • While each of the other human sciences e.g. psychology, biology etc, concentrate on one or other aspect of man, Anthropology is not limited to any particular aspect of man. Rather, it studies man in his totality as a group member.
  • In its study of man, anthropology is helped by philosophy which defines man as animale rationale (i.e. a rational animal).
  • There are therefore two principal aspects in man: the rational and the animal, the soul and the body.

shared by LeandroA EWSIS on 09 Dec 09 - Cached
  • This type of semantics is contrasted with communication-focused semantics where understanding the intent and assumptions of particular speakers and writers is primary as in the idea that people mean and not words, sentences or propositions.
    • LeandroA EWSIS
      LeandroA EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      this differs from other branches of semantics because generally semantics are associated with making people look like idiots but this demonstrates that this specific branch is associated with finding meaning without going in so deeply
  • the good or bad associations we make with words
    • LeandroA EWSIS
      LeandroA EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      i think this is important because it puts a huge idea into simple wording and shows a philosophy put into a pysics style. the sentence on its own shows a human word game where we associate words with other words that show taste or distaste in a subject
  • Meaning as intent seems to be the oldest use of the word and goes back to Anglo-Saxon and still exists in German as an association made with the verb "meinen" as to think or intend
    • LeandroA EWSIS

      This is important because it supports the idea that there is no scientific evidence that suggests acai berry promotes weight loss.

      There have been many products using acai, many of which is just utilizing the popularity.
  • Even web sites purporting to warn about açai-related scams are themselves perpetrating scams
  • http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/PhonyAds/acai.html
  • According to ABC News correspondent Susan Donaldson, these products have not been evaluated (in the United States) by the FDA, and their efficacy is questionable.
    • Jeannie EWSIS
      Jeannie EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      In other words, though the efficacy of acai is questionable, currently there is no way to address this problem because the products haven't been evaluated by the FDA
  • A study in 12 healthy fasted human volunteers demonstrated that blood antioxidant capacity was increased within two hours after consumption of a commercial açaí juice beverage or applesauce.
    • Jeannie EWSIS
      Jeannie EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      This supports that acai does have antioxidants. It is a good fruit, but nothing about it makes it different than other healthy berries.
  • When three commercially available juice mixes containing unspecified percentages of açaí juice were compared for in vitro antioxidant capacity against red wine, tea, six types of pure fruit juice, and pomegranate juice, the average antioxidant capacity was ranked lower than that of pomegranate juice, Concord grape juice, blueberry juice, and red wine
  • Marketers of these products, such as Monarch Health Sciences, parent company of MonaVie, make claims that açaí provides increased energy levels, improved sexual performance, improved digestion, detoxification, high fiber content, improved skin appearance, improved heart health, improved sleep, and reduction of cholesterol levels.
    • Jeannie EWSIS
      Jeannie EWSIS on 09 Dec 09
       
      On what scientific evidence?
  • Quackwatch noted that "açai juice has only middling levels of antioxidants—less than that of Concord grape, blueberry, and black cherry juices, but more than cranberry, orange, and apple juices."
    • Jeannie EWSIS
      Jeannie EWSIS on 15 Dec 09
       
      This is important because they tell you what other fruits have almost the equal amount of antioxidants; means you don't have to spend tons of money on acai

Now, the resident artist said they got some of their best ideas through the program because kids don't think about the limitations of how hard it can be to blow glass into certain shapes.

Now, when you think of glass, you might think of colorful Chihuly designs or maybe Italian vases, but kids challenge glass artists to go beyond that into the realm of broken-hearted snakes and bacon boys, who you can see has meat vision.

    the part that stood out for me the most is when she said "children are better than adults, because children just imagine all they want, while adults put limitations on the real world." In my point of view, this is just plain bull crap. True, older people put limitation on what they think, but that's because they know better. We all know that mass-producing transformer is nothing but a child's creative imagination, and does it make children better than adults by thinking that? I don't think so.

    Kids do need to be heard more by adults. Some times children have better ideas and solutions then some adults. When kids go to there parents to help them with there math homework. Most of the time they don't understand and have to pay for a tooter. If this is the case dose this mean children are able to comprehend situations better than adults. By being able to salve and understand problems faster and easier.

    Well we listened to Adora Svitak who says adults should learn from kids as much as kids learn from adults. I have to say that's very true. My experience with adults is that they always say that they are right, always doing stuff for our own good...I don't think that's really true. My parents always say what I'm allowed to or not to do. It's not like in ever irrational event happens, I want to do. No, that's really not it. I obviously have weighted the consequences and chose not to do something or to do something. This classroom for an example is definitely of the lack of trust and that adults should listen to kids once in a while. A lot of us in this tell our teacher that we think whats up have no real.....effect on our education. It's not like we're lazy (sometimes we are, but not this), but we just don't get the purpose of it. I think that this is a great clip for adults to watch. I do wonder though, how many of the adults there actually took that session to heart. I wonder how many of them turned and just commented that was adorable or something? I get that sometimes when I tried to make a valid point...
  • Franklin EWSIS on 08 Apr 10
     
    I feel what this girl Adora Svitak was saying was true because parents do look at kids as childish and underestimate their abilities. I think it should go both ways, parents trust children and children trust parents.
