Fat Tax?
Promising research recently suggested that following a vegan, gluten-free diet can significantly reduce the risk of arthritis, heart attack, and stroke. While vegetarian world was quick to embrace these recent findings, I wouldn't toss out the your lean protein just yet. One problem: "Only 58 percent of the people in the vegan, gluten-free group completed the study."
If you rewind, you'll find only 66 people were included in the study. 38 of them were put on the diet, which means only 22 finished ... not exactly a landslide, and not quite enough people to make the study very applicable to the population at large.
It gets back to one of my 5 Keys to Healthy Eating: enjoy what you eat!
Atkins Diet is back?
Oh, check this out — they've decided to copy "South Beach." How fun!
The Fat Tax
Thanks to a member of our forums for bringing this one up. If you are overweight, you might want to consider avoiding Alabama, where they are suggesting a fine to government employees for being overweight.

Ditch the treadmill and hire a cup of Joe
I am a huge fan of coffee, but I just recently learned there is a brand to help us lose weight. That's right ... and the fancy name? "SlimBeans."
Warmly,
