Maintaining the shape you want is about more than weight loss

Imagine from year to year that your weight and height do not change, yet you find yourself having to buy clothes a size bigger. How can this be? While the scale shows your weight only, it neglects to show your body composition (muscle to fat ratio) which is much more important and much more informative than a 3-digit number on the scale.

Too often the scale is relied on as a sole means of progress, when in actuality it does not tell you anything other than your weight, which fluctuates every day, even every hour. When you know what your body is made of and can see the inches come off and your body composition improve, regardless of any weight loss, you are more likely to stick with your healthy habits and keep working towards your goal.

Mission lose weight: Parineeti Chopra aims for bikini body

Parineeti Chopra has no reason to be overweight. She is just 25 and has got her dose of whacking on the subject by the fashion police.

Now Parineeti has joined the race of actresses who have started to maintain her figure along with acting capabilities.

So what happened so suddenly that the joyfully healthy actress started losing weight?

“I started getting upset about what to wear etc and realized I need to lose weight. When I entered the film industry every one kept telling me that I was overweight to be an actress and I should be a little more careful about the way I dress, but then I did not pay any heed at that point of time because I did not care. I felt I could get away with my acting skills alone. I reckon I was being stupid enough. I have started taking care of my dressing sense also now,” says the actress.

Initiative aims to cut bogus weight-loss claims

The Federal Trade Commission announced on Jan. 7 an initiative to stop national marketers from using deceptive advertising claims for fad weight-loss products. The Better Business Bureau of Acadiana is informing consumers the FTC took aim at four national marketers of products ranging from food additives and skin creams to dietary supplements, resulting in a $34 million penalty.

The initiative is part of the FTC’s “ongoing effort to stop misleading claims for products promoting easy weight loss and slimmer bodies.” One marketer claimed consumers could “sprinkle, eat and lose weight” with their product. However, the FTC charged marketers deceived consumers with unfounded weight-loss claims and misleading endorsements. In another case involving the marketer of the hormone hCG, the FTC barred deceptive future claims that liquid homeopathic hCG drops would “cause consumers to rapidly lose substantial weight.”

The Better Business Bureau has reviewed and challenged several hCG-related claims nationwide. When possibly questionable, unclear or confusing advertising is noted, the advertiser is contacted and requested to substantiate or modify the claims that are being made, and to voluntarily comply wit......

The Real Reason So Many American Women Fail To Lose Weight

Placing Blame Incorrectly 
Many women in America who have tried to lose weight and were not successful incorrectly place the blame on others rather than squarely on themselves. It is common for women to complaint that they can’t lose weight because their schedule doesn’t allow for proper diet and exercise.

Overeating In Women
Chronic overeating is a problem for many American women. Some of the reasons this occurs is that some women can’t or won’t control their appetite, having an eating disorder or simply because some women turn to food in times of stress. Underlying personal issues are also often used an excuse for overeating.
