EVERYDAY HEALTH - Pump Up Your Metabolism - Fitness Center, Nov 03, 2011

Jillian Michaels
"Q: I've tried every diet under the sun in my life, and I'm really afraid I've ruined my metabolism. I seem to gain weight no matter what I eat now! Is there any way to fix this?
A:
This is such a good question — I'm so glad you asked! Many people suffer from the backlash that can result from years of yo-yo diets. What happens is this: When people let their calorie levels drop too low, their body's survival mechanism kicks in, lowering their metabolic set point (or basal metabolic rate). When they go off that crash diet and begin to eat normally again, they gain back any weight lost — plus. And what follows that? Yup, another crash diet.

The cycle is often very frustrating, but it CAN be reversed with time, consistency, and patience. What you'll need to do is the exact opposite of what we call shocking the metabolism; you have to allow your body time to adapt to a new metabolic set point — by being consistent, you'll force your body to adapt."

EVERYDAY HEALTH - Finding Foods to Help You Sleep Better - Sleep Center, Nov 03, 2011


Sleep: The Need for an Insomnia Cure

“If you want to be alert, functional, and at 100 percent capability, you must have a good night’s sleep,” says Susan Zafarlotfi, PhD, clinical director of the Institute for Sleep-Wake Disorders at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey. Though the most widely talked about sleep problems are sleep apnea and snoring, the most prevalent need is for an insomnia cure. Besides functioning well during the day, people who sleep well have better control over their weight. “Proper sleep is important in order to stay on a diet and lose weight,” says Zafarlotfi."
