More Exercise Gets You Lasting Results
Researchers followed 125 men and women, ages 18 to 35, who had lost more than 8 percent of their initial body weight and were trying to keep it off. They assigned them randomly to follow one of three diets.
The study received funding from a variety of sources, including The Danish Heart Association and the Danish Pork Council.
The findings weren’t all that surprising, experts said.
“We know that most dieters have some weight regain despite the type of diet they may have been on,” said Lona Sandon, an assistant professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, and spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. “The trick to preventing weight regain seems to be more in increasing exercise rather than diet strategies.”

Burn More Calories When You are Not Exercising
You want your body to burn calories at the highest possible rate even when you’re NOT exercising when you’re at sitting at your desk, relaxing at home, even sleeping.
It’s called your resting metabolic rate (RMR), and you CAN increase it.
One of the surest ways is by building more muscle mass through strength training. Muscle can burn 3-5 times more calories than fat does. So the more muscle you have, the more calories you’ll burn. Even when you’re staying perfectly still.
And you don’t need to invest much time. Working with weights for as little as 20 minutes two to three days a week can be enough to crank up your RMR over time.

Managing Stress in Extremely Stressful Times with Anne Quinn

September 25, 2008
9:30am-3:30pm
$59 Tuition Includes Lunch
Many Americans live with TOXIC levels of stress on a daily basis. Often, we hit the ground moving in the morning and we don’t stop until we collapse in a chair at night. It can feel as though our lives have become one endless “to do” list ? Filled with
“should’s, must’s and ought to’s.”
We will look closely at the relationship between stress and illness and how learning to manage our stress today can actually prevent us from becoming ill in the future.
This workshop will provide techniques, skills and tools to help us move more peacefully and easily through our day regardless of what is going on around us, so that we can be present for the people we care about and the things we truly enjoy doing.
