Rethinking Thin: The New Science of Weight Loss—and the Myths and Realities of Dieting, by Gina Kolata, New York: Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 257 pages, $24 Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think, by Brian Wansink, New York: Bantam Books, 276 pages, $25 Gina Kolata says losing weight is nearly impossible. Brian Wansink says it's easy. In Rethinking Thin, Kolata, a veteran New York Times science reporter, focuses on a group of obese people enrolled in a University of Pennsylvania diet study. By contrast, in Mindless Eating, Wansink, a marketing professor at Cornell University who has studied consumers' food-related decisions for decades, focuses on the sort of gradual, modest weight loss that Kolata concedes is achievable. Kolata's message, as it pertains to the very fat, is mostly discouraging, while Wansink's, which is addressed mainly to the somewhat overweight, is relentlessly upbeat. There is also evidence that their hunger is more intense. Enter Brian Wansink.
Diner Connection The Ultimate Weight Loss Guide This is it, folks. This is the first, last and only weight loss article you will EVER need to read. Only, this is much more than an article. This, my friends, is a guide. And no, I'm not exaggerating. Everything you need in order to lose weight is here. Table Of Contents Since this could very well be the world's most comprehensive guide to weight loss, I figured a table of contents would be useful. How To Lose Weight It would only make sense to start this off with the one fact that is the basis for nearly all weight loss related information. The One Fact Your body requires a certain number of calories per day in order to maintain your current weight. As you already know, we supply our bodies with these calories through eating and drinking. However, if you do consume more calories than this maintenance level, your body will store the excess calories as fat. Basically, consume the same number of calories that your body needs/burns each day and you maintain your weight. What should you do?

Bar Power Is A Nightlife App To Help You Be Less Of A Jerk At Bars Once you’ve had a few drinks at a bar it’s easy to let loose and blow off steam. Unfortunately, while you’re having fun, you could end up annoying others around you, namely the staff at the venue you’re at. By acting like a fool, you’re jeopardizing your future visits, since bartenders tend to remember who was a jerk and who was a great customer. A project at our Disrupt Hackathon called “Bar Power” is an app that will remind you to “not be a douchebag.” It’s somewhat of a game, walking you through nice things to do when you enter a bar. For example, the app will suggest that you say “hi” to the bartender and introduce yourself. The really interesting part of the app comes into play when you’ve done something wrong. I chatted with the team who built it, Patricia Ju and Chris Baily, and they discussed their reasons for creating Bar Power, mostly stemming from Baily’s professional experience in the bar scene.
Dieting does not work, researchers report Will you lose weight and keep it off if you diet? No, probably not, UCLA researchers report in the April issue of American Psychologist, the journal of the American Psychological Association. "You can initially lose 5 to 10 percent of your weight on any number of diets, but then the weight comes back," said Traci Mann, UCLA associate professor of psychology and lead author of the study. Mann and her co-authors conducted the most comprehensive and rigorous analysis of diet studies, analyzing 31 long-term studies. "What happens to people on diets in the long run?" People on diets typically lose 5 to 10 percent of their starting weight in the first six months, the researchers found. "Although the findings reported give a bleak picture of the effectiveness of diets, there are reasons why the actual effectiveness of diets is even worse," Mann said. Mann said that certain factors biased the diet studies to make them appear more effective than they really were.
