Will Soy Consumption Help My Hot Flashes?

In the past experts have suggested that women who suffer from mild to moderate hot flashes and night sweats try eating up to 25 grams of soy foods daily, every day for 4-6 weeks to see if they benefit from the hot flash/night sweats relief that the phyto-estrogens provide.

Is a High-Fat Diet Really a Danger to My Health?

It's no wonder that consumers are confused.  They see brisk sales of Atkin's diet books and assume if everyone is buying the book and using the diet - "I should too."  Then they hear from so-called food gurus who appear on talk shows extolling the virtues of diets filled with fat as "satiating and necessary" despite the... Read moreChevron

In 2003, I made a decision that would forever change my life. Since that time, I have been following a program of lifetime obesity disease management to sustain long term weight loss.

Today, I'm a size medium and living life larger than ever!

I had an eating relapse this weekend. Let me tell you about it.   In prep for Hurricane Irene, I stocked up on water and non-perishable foods.

And so I try not to think about all the years that were wasted and the many things that I missed out on being morbidly obese. Those memories are painful. But I will share them in this post so that others who are considering weight-loss... Read moreChevron

My Bariatric Life: Free Gastric Bypass Surgery, Is It Real?

My Obesity Connection on HealthCentral gets a lot of questions from readers seeking free gastric bypass surgery. Free weight-loss surgery is virtually unheard of, but patients that are morbidly obese may qualify for the surgery under Medicare, while patients within a certain range of the federal poverty level and don't have insurance may qualify... Read moreChevron
