A new study is suggesting that vigorous exercise can actually curb hunger. Give it a try next time you get the munchies!

This report, after 25 years of research says, not really. A key element of the article says what does help:

1. Good Genes
2. A healthy and well balanced diet

We’ve all done it, or someone who has. Diet, lose weight, put it back on, diet lose weight, and so on. I’ve always been told that doing this hampers efforts to lose weight in the future. Apparently this is not true, according to this study from researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

Diet news has been slow as of late so I went searching for articles on healthy filling foods. I came across this article at Everyday Health. Not only does it give great tips, it gives some great satisfying recipes. Here’s 40 more from the Fitness and Nutrition Center. So enjoy!

From Medical News Today is an article with weight loss tips. Some of them we already know, such as the importance of keeping a food journal. Some may be surprising, such as never skip a meal. Others are common sense, such as eating out can often times be a barrier to making the correct food choices.

This article from Medindia Health, suggests people who eat eggs for breakfast stay fuller longer and are more apt to lose weight.

Syncing will not be in the net version, mainly because the performance of an iCloud enabled app like TrackIt is not good. I’m working on making it better, so we’ll see.

The following issues have been fixed:
1. If you are using decimals, your graphs for daily usage will be calculated incorrectly
2. When deleting an item from your daily food log, when returning to the food log, the item will still appear in the list or a ‘new item’ appears in the list even though it really is deleted

Send email if you want to see any other features or if you find any more issues.

This article in Medical news Today compares the three types of diets along with an explanation of what each diet means. The conclusion, low fat dieters are more likely to not keep the weight off and gain it back. One sentence at the end of the article is so true: “Ultimately, successful weight-loss maintenance will require behavioral and environmental interventions to facilitate long-term dietary adherence.” Meaning, to me at least, a diet is not just a diet, it’s a lifelong lifestyle change.

A new study has found that regular salad dressing, i.e., not lite or low fat, helps your body absorb more nutrients from your salad. Of course some salad dressings were better than others, and canola or olive oil based were the best even if you keep the fat grams to a minimum of 3 grams per serving (a little less than 1 teaspoon).
