Biggest Loser’s Erik Chopin: Losing Again on Discovery Health – That’s Fit.

I like to read stuff like this that really puts on display the reality of weight loss.  Let’s not sugar coat how hard it is for TV. I am not happy that he gained a bunch of weight back, but it goes to show you that life is not what you are watching on TV.

Taco Bell: Making a run for weight loss? – CNN.com.

I read a quote from someone else on FB that said something to the effect – what does it say about us as a country if we are touting Taco Bell as a weight loss means? Yikes.

Is the fat acceptance movement bad for our health? – CNN.com.

Wow. This is a loaded bullet topic.  There are good points on both sides of the coin, but the bottom line is being overweight is not healthy. How much overweight is really the question. No one should be treated badly because they are heavy – period. If a doctor says mentions to you about your weight or that of your childs from a medical perspective, it’s not that they are saying that you don’t deserve basic rights. It’s about your health, and as I have said before – what you do now affects you later health wise.

Study: Calorie Counts Often Wrong on Food Labels – TIME.

Now this doesn’t surprise me at all. Do you really think that that chef or cook is sitting there measuring the food to ensure that the prepared food is in line with what the official calorie count is? I often think about that when I am eating out. One day you can have a Chipotle chicken bowl and the person at counter puts one small scoop of rice, the next time you go back, you get a heaping scoop. See the issue?
