I was watching Bob Harper on the Biggest Loser last night work out the first lady. How cool is that. The best part is he didn’t hold back. I would love to interview Bob some day. I loved his first book “Are you ready?” If you are an emotional eater (and who isn’t) it’s a must read. Now he has a new book coming out.

It turns out this new book will be a first ins series. He said this about the book (coming out May 15, you can pre order now)

  Here is what is coming from Bob.

THIS ISN’T ONLY A RULEBOOK. Part I of the book is The Skinny Rules—the 20 principles you need to read, understand, and make an effort to really live by. But then I’ve also created Part II, The Skinny Way, which is a day-by-day menu plan that will get you through the first 30 days of living by the Rules. And Part III, The Skinny Tools, houses the recipes and tips that you’ll be called on to look at, cook, and consume! My intention has been to take the guess work out of losing weight for you. After the first 30 days on the program you will have lost weight and you’ll be more confident in eating and living according to my Rules. Don’t get me wrong, it won’t be easy. ‘Easy’ does not work. But it will be liberating.”

New Study Says Eat Less Exercise More

by Dave on April 12, 2012

A new study was published . The goal was to determine what obese people did to lose 5-10% of their body weight. For me (currently at 207 lbs) that would be losing 10 – 21 lbs. Here is what they found after studying 4021 Obese Adults:

Quick-weight-loss63% had tried to lose weight the previous year

40% lost 5% of their body weight and 20% lost 10% of their body weight.

Those that lost 5% reported eating less fat and exercising more and small percent used prescription weight loss pills.

The above strategies were also mention in the people who lost 10% along with joining commercial weight loss programs (like ediets.com or mediafast.com etc).

Adults eating diet products were less likely  to achieve 10% weight loss.

My Favorite Line from the Whole Study

“Liquid diets, nonprescription diet pills, and popular diets had no association with successful weight loss.”

Nuggets Pulled From the Report

Even a weight loss of 5% leads to health benefits.
So if you think, “I may start but I’ll never finish,” take the small success as it will benefit you. Then see if the confidence of making a small goal helps propel you to keep going.

Most Common Strategies Used in Successfully Losing Weight
Limiting quantity of food, and counting calories, and restricting types of food.

Exercised 30 minutes per day, and added physical activities to their day. They also planned and cooked their own meals. They also weighted their food.

Eat less – exercise more. Shocking.
