<description><![CDATA[Managing to lose your extra pounds is not just an achievement to be celebrated; it really can change your life.There are many reasons why you would want to lose weight; physical discomfort, a desire to be more active or even the mental pressure from other people responding with prejudice to your current size. Whatever your individual reason for wanting to lose weight, actually attaining your target size brings all of the benefits you wanted, plus a whole host more. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/161.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Tucking into a hearty meal at the end of the day is a great way to relax and remove the stresses of the daily routine before settling down for a pleasant evening. Removing this meal from your daily routine, as some Meal Replacement Diets do, can increase your stress levels dramatically, at best you can feel that you never get a chance to &lsquo;switch off&rsquo; from daily trials and at worst this stress can lead to loss of sleep, psychologically prompted hunger pangs and failure of your weight loss plans as stress related snacking and binge eating derails the calorie controlled diet. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/160.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There are many reasons why you would want to lose weight. For some the physical discomfort of carrying excess weight is reason enough, while for other people there is a genuine medical need to lose fat and get fit. A far more common a reason to want to lose the excess pounds though, is the non physical element of being overweight, when the unhappiness with the image in the mirror begins to feed depression. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/159.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<link>http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/157.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Of all the mysteries in life, taking the lift &ndash; or elevator if you are in the US - down is surely one of the greatest. I was in a car park recently and watched an entire family waiting for the lift to go down one floor to the exit. Although they were all significantly overweight, they were clearly able-bodied, so there was no obvious reason why they needed to wait for the lift. By coincidence, I saw them again about three hours later this time waiting for the lift to go up one floor, all of them eating ice-creams (it was a freezing cold day!). <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/157.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A night out on the town doesn&rsquo;t have to hinder your diet, in fact a night on the tiles can actually be of great benefit as a quick win of extra calorie expenditure. Just keep you head on straight and enjoy yourself with some easy dos and don&rsquo;ts to follow from Weight to Go.DO! Dance like no one is watching.Enthusiastic dancing is as much an aerobic exercise as any class at the gym. Unlike an aerobics class you are free to move how you want, which can mean that if you really enjoy yourself you can actually get a more complete workout. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/153.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Offices are among the worst working environments for losing weight that exist in the modern world. Constant pressure leads to snacking, while communications technology makes it more socially acceptable to email or instant message the person on the next desk than to simply walk over and talk to them. The Weight to Go low calorie diet sets you daily intake at a level where even if you work long hours in the most sedentary of office environments you will still lose weight. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/154.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[One of the biggest difficulties you will face in your diet is overcoming the cravings you will experience as the stress of an altered diet takes hold. This is both natural and normal and you can overcome it with discipline, and probably a bit of displacement activity (go for a jog to take your mind off the craving, it&rsquo;ll get you more exercise and help with the craving). You can make your life easier by avoiding the triggers for cravings. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/152.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If you ever feel like your enemy in the battle with your figure is calories; think again! The real enemy is hunger. Hunger and cravings are the main cause for weight loss diets to fail. Understanding why you feel hungry, and recognising when hunger is real or false is very important in keeping your eating habits under control.Hunger is not simply triggered by a lowering of your energy levels, a fuel gauge so to speak. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/151.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<link>http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/150.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Many Diet Plans involve replacing your normal meals, or some of your meals with a range of shakes and supplements that are calorie controlled to ensure your weight loss. They do this because shakes can easily be created to be calorie controlled to an exact level; far more easily than creating whole meals with this level of calorie control.In many ways this tactic will work, if you can stick to drinking only the shakes then you will definitely be dramatically lowering your intake of energy to a level where your daily expenditure of calories will mean that you lose weight quickly. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/150.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Britain has a reputation for a culture of reserved characters. This may not be completely true but it is a fact that Britons&rsquo; body language, gesticulations and demeanour is among the most static in the world. Where Americans hug each other, jump about and punch the air in victory, the average English person will make a small smile and a sharp nod. Where Italians will portray their entire conversation through their hands, the British conversationalist will do little more than fidget with their glass and often keep their hands firmly in their pockets. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/149.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Jogging and running are excellent ways to burn extra calories and build and tone muscle. Exercise generally results in a sense of energy and excitement, but many find running something of a chore.There are a number of ways around this that might help you maintain that enthusiasm for exercise that will also help you maintain a positive attitude to your weight loss activity.Finding a jogging partner will let you and them keep each other&rsquo;s discipline up, make sure that your partner is of a similar level of fitness to yourself to avoid either being frustrated or becoming bored with their progress. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/148.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

Very few environments give our bodies the freedom that we feel while swimming, largely because in water we can swim up and down whereas on land we are restricted to a largely flat experience. This freedom and fun can really help to increase your positivity and relax your mind.As well as providing a massive psychological boost swimming is one of the best sports around for burning calories and toning muscles. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/147.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I was asked in an email last week about Aspartame, the artificial sweetener and whether I thought such sweeteners were toxins?&nbsp; The short answer is &quot;No&quot;.There has indeed been controversy about some aspects of artificial sweeteners, but in my view there is no consistent scientific evidence to suggest that they are toxic or represent a health hazard to consumers.Discovered in 1965, aspartame is a low-calorie sweetener with a sugar-like taste but it is approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/143.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<link>http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/137.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[One of the great things about the Weight to Go diet Plan is how much extra time it gives you.
Normally diets ask you to calculate your calorie intake with every meal, or to prepare particular meals and healthy &lsquo;tasty&rsquo; smoothies using grass and flowers. These diets can take up so much of your time that you can feel enslaved by the programme. Most diets also recommend stepping up your exercise schedule by going to a gym or swimming or taking up a new sport. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/137.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The first Law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change forms. What does this have to do with calorie controlled diet food? Well, quite a lot.
Your food contains energy and through eating and digesting that energy is converted between chemical forms. It still exists though and it is used by the body and converted into heat, electrical charge and most visibly, kinetic energy, that is, movement. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/136.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have very happy memories of my childhood years in South Wales and, like most children, I loved Christmas.&nbsp; Of course the late 1950s were very different from today.&nbsp; My own children find it hard to imagine how we could have survived without computers, mobile phones and Facebook, but somehow we managed.&nbsp;There was a real sense of magic about Christmas day which for me usually started around 4am when I would lie awake in the darkness, my heart racing, to see if Father Christmas had remembered me. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/135.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Advertising and marketing executives have known for years how various unconscious factors can have a powerful influence on our food choices.  One study to be published early next year has looked at whether the order in which we encounter food items influences our estimate of the calorie content.  A group of study participants were asked to estimate how many calories there were in a cheeseburger.  Interestingly, their answer varied depending on whether they were shown the cheeseburger first or a salad. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/134.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Salt in the Weight to Go Diet]]></title>
<link>http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/133.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Salt is necessary for life as it enables our bodies to perform a variety of essential functions.  By Roman times, salt was a highly valued trade item.  Some websites claim that soldiers were paid in salt, although my daughter who is studying classics says this isn&rsquo;t true.  The Latin word &lsquo;sal&rsquo;, however, is the root for the English word salary.  Familiar phrases such as a person being &ldquo;worth their salt&rdquo; indicates a value attached to this mineral. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/133.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Results of an interesting study presented at The Endocrine Society's 90th Annual Meeting in San Diego, suggests that people can lose weight by flavouring their food with calorie-free seasonings and sweeteners, which may make them feel full faster, so reducing their  consumption.   The Sensa&reg; diet, developed by Dr Alan Hirsch, was given to 2,436 overweight or obese subjects for a period of 6-months. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/132.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<link>http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/131.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[I deliberately don&rsquo;t eat out very often and if I do it&rsquo;s Pizza Express with the family or a colleague from work.  As a habitual eater I usually have a marguerita pizza or a salad ni&ccedil;oise and a beer.  I do enjoy my food but in my job I see what misery being overweight can bring.  Hence, for me, going to a restaurant like Maze is a rare treat.  For the culinary innocent, Maze is Gordon Ramsay&rsquo;s restaurant in Mayfair and I confess I had never heard of it until an old friend invited my wife and I to dinner to celebrate his very BIG birthday. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/131.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<link>http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/129.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[In last month&rsquo;s Obesity review, the well known obesity expert Stephan Rossner took a look at Elvis Presley&rsquo;s diet which, combined with his drug habit would result in obesity and ultimately death (or as the coroner in a BBC Arena programme reputedly said, &ldquo;a terminal event on the commode&rdquo;).  Towards the end of his life, Elvis&rsquo; diet was famously calorie laden.  His favourite sandwich was a huge baguette, half a kilogram of crispy bacon, a jar of peanut butter and a jar of grape jelly (jam). <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/129.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As part of a pre-surgical consultation I try and get some idea of an individual&rsquo;s physical activity patterns. Were they active when younger? What has been the trend in their activity patterns over the years? Are they doing any exercise now? During the course of the conversation it&rsquo;s not uncommon for me to hear something like this: &ldquo;Yes, I&rsquo;m nothing like as active as I was, but I played a lot of sport at school and then at University, so it&rsquo;s not as though I&rsquo;ve never done anything&rdquo;, or &ldquo;I seem to have put on a bit of weight in my forties, especially since I stopped playing rugby, but I still feel I&rsquo;m a basically fit person&rdquo;. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/128.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[William of Ockham, born in the village of Ockham in Surrey (England) about 1285, was the most influential philosopher of the 14th century and a controversial theologian.  He is probably best known for the Law of Parsimony &ndash; also known as &ldquo;Ockham&rsquo;s razor&rdquo;.  This principle is popularly interpreted as &ldquo;the simplest explanation is usually the correct one&rdquo;.   It is a useful idea which is widely used in science, though I would now like to introduce a variation of it &ndash; called Ashton&rsquo;s razor &ndash; in a rather more specific context, namely claims made for weight loss products. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/127.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[My wife received a letter today; a tacky mailer with a pre-paid return envelope addressed to the Netherlands.  It was an invitation to purchase the latest &ldquo;breakthrough&rdquo; in slimming &ndash; the Size Zero Patch.  I see endless examples of this junk, but this seemed particularly pernicious.  To lose 24-pounds you had to apply 24-skin patches.  No dieting, no exercise, no side-effects - and with a money back guarantee. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/126.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[With the wonderfully rich choice of fruit and vegetables on offer in our shops, I must confess to being surprised when patients tell me they struggle to eat 5 portions of fruit and/or vegetables a day.  Some people claim it is a cost issue, though seasonal vegetables are about the cheapest thing you can find.  Others claim the fruit goes off before they have a chance to eat it, in which case the solution would be to buy seasonal fresh fruit such as berries and freeze portions for later or buy small tins of fruit which are just as good for you despite what the &ldquo;fresh only&rdquo; brigade say. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/125.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

It sounds silly but not feeling full can grind down resistance faster than simply standing outside a cake shop staring at the biggest slice of layer cake in the store. Not feeling full leads to snacking and that can be a main contributor to the calorie creep that can undermine even the most determined of dieters. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/124.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I recently accompanied a friend on what can only be described as a shopping marathon. We spent over 5 hours on our feet going into pretty much every shop in town and so it was with something of a surprise that when I checked my pedometer it only read 11,000 steps, barely a thousand more than I manage each day in walking to the office and back plus a walk at lunchtime. Now my friend is not a small lady and she walks at a pace that is very relaxed, and each step is very gentle. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/122.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

I&rsquo;ve been gradually building up mileage in preparation for a 2 week cycling holiday along &ldquo;El Camino&rdquo; in Northern Spain. Stopping at a tea shop for a well earned cuppa and a slice of fruit cake I was struck by the stark divide amongst the tea shop residents. I was not the only cyclist.

<description><![CDATA[&nbsp;A big misconception of Dieting is that it is something that only women need to bother with.

You may be standing on the edge of a slippery slope that leads to a place from which you will find it very hard to recover from; as we get older our metabolism slows up a bit and unless we are lucky our lives will usually take us down a path where getting the exercise we&rsquo;ve been used to: playing football, hitting the tiles on Friday and Saturday and generally getting up to mischief, will become fond memories. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/114.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Because I am a clinician dealing with real people, I am always concerned to find real life solutions to weight loss problems. As a result, we introduced a Weekend Off diet that allows you to follow the Weight to Go menu for 5 days and add your own menu, up to 1200 calories per day, on your 2 days off. The idea behind the diet was to introduce more flexibility and food variety thus encouraging you to stick to the diet without cheating for the five days, have a few careful treats at the weekend and thereby be able to stay on the diet for longer and so be more successful. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/112.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There are many Diet plans available but most have a drawback of some kind. For example, calorie Counting really does just waste time and is impossible to maintain an accurately stable calorie intake. Drinking nothing but shakes for most of the day is unsatisfying and can lead to serious lapses in the level of discipline needed to maintain a diet for any length of time. &nbsp;Neither system is practical in the long term when it comes to maintaining a healthy weight once reached. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/111.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Calorie Counting is the practise of checking the labels of everything you eat to check if you are going to go over your daily allowance of calories. This may seem a simple enough way to manage your daily intake but in reality it is insanely difficult to do accurately.Take for instance a simple meal of a sausage casserole. You may know the average calorific value of a sausage and if you have used a sauce pack for the main stock of the casserole then that value will also be known. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/110.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Exercise is NOT a dirty word! Physical activity is a fun thing, something that you were born to do. The human body is designed to work, and work hard, at tasks that the brain decides are required, and it is the brain that is the cause of the trouble when it comes to maintaining an exercise regime. Humans are very rational and it is very easy to be physical when it is absolutely necessary, this is where our fight or flight instincts are being used by our rationale, but if there is no physical danger or immediate need then your brain will be only too willing to let you relax and take it slow. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/109.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<link>http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/108.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Britain has one of the worst reputations for alcohol abuse in the developed world, and the media is full of warnings about the dangers of excessive consumption. The general guideline is that men should not drink more than 21 units (roughly ten pints) per week and that women should stay below 14 units. However, even drinking to these guidelines can de-rail your diet in a number of ways. If you drink to the daily limit of your consumption, 4 units for men and 3 units for women, you will be adding to your daily intake of energy around a third more energy than 850 calories that the Weight to Go diet plan gives you; a level of energy intake that is purpose designed to help you lose weight quickly and safely. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/108.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Having a night out is always a lot of fun, hitting the tiles, tripping the light fantastic and dancing like no-one is watching, however you want to say it, getting out to your favourite club is a great way to finish the week. The fun reward can also make a big impact on your diet. Dancing in a night club for a couple of hours provide as much, if not more, aerobic exercise than going to the gym and spending an hour on the cross trainers, and it&rsquo;s infinitely more fun. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/107.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<link>http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/106.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Maintaining an average number of steps during the working week can be a steep challenge, but have you ever worn your pedometer over the weekend? After a full week of work, and then Friday night, which can be very busy, lots of people fall into the trap of waking up late on Saturday, never quite getting up and spending an entire day on the sofa. The result of this low energy expenditure is usually a lack of sleep on Saturday night, a lethargic Sunday and going back to work feeling like the weekend was a waste of time. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/106.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Vegetarians have the reputation of never having issues with being overweight. In fact the stereotypical view is that vegetarians tend towards the slender. Unfortunately this is not really the case; a vegetarian diet can be packed with high calorie foods and if your exercise regime is not sufficient to use all of this energy then it will be stored as fat. Snacks seem to be a large part of the problem, snacks, drinks and vegetarian convenience foods all contain higher concentrations of fat and sugars than you might expect. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/105.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When trying to work up the enthusiasm to start dieting, or to maintain a level of self discipline to continue a diet, it is important to have a weight loss goal. Some people may be able to work with an abstract figure like a target waist size, or a target body weight, but there are others of us who find such targets distant, or cannot put urgency and importance on something so arbitrary.If this sounds familiar then what you may want to do is to choose a different target, something more grounded in reality and something in which the rewards are more tangible than just reaching a figure. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/102.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Anaemia through Iron deficiency is an issue for many people. Iron deficiency leads to a low red blood cell count and can drastically affect the body&rsquo;s ability to distribute oxygen leading to lethargy, concentration problems and sometimes even blackouts or fainting. This condition is more common in women than men and can be particularly bad around menstruation when the requirement for iron to replenish lost blood is at its greatest. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/101.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[One of the most dangerous things you can do to your body is to crash diet, or not eat anything for more than a day. Yes losing weight happens when you take in less energy through your food and drink than you expend during the day but completely stopping your food intake creates extra problems, problems that are far more serious than excess fat.Your body requires a certain amount of on the spot nutrition to function correctly, these nutrients are extracted from your food by digestion, and absorbed into the blood for instant use rather than stored as fat cells. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/100.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There is a great myth about diets that makes them sound like extremely complicated and mysterious activities that totally change your life. Well, this is both true and completely false.&nbsp;The core idea behind any diet is to reduce the amount of calories you take in each day. The reason for this is that within a given period of time if you eat and drink more calories than you are using up through your daily activity you will gain weight. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/92.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Weight to Go Diet options are designed to control your intake of calories to a sensible level, enabling you to eat at a comfortable level and lose weight safely. However you must be very clear about your objectives. Dieting without an aim almost invariably fails as without reaching periodic goals you will quickly lose interest and dedication. Even when you have a target weight in your mind, this can sometimes fail if the goal is unrealistic, or if it is going to be a long term goal and not something attainable in a short space of time like a month. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/87.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<link>http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/84.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[A common mistake when taking up a new exercise regime is to begin on a programme of weight training too early. This has the effect of developing larger muscles that are powerful but do not enable quick motion. Why is this bad if you are trying to lose weight? Well, there are actually two issues with this:&nbsp;Issue one is that these large muscles actually increase your weight and your size. Powerful muscles weigh a lot more for the same volume as fat, so building the kind of muscle you see in weight lifters will impact your BMI and may hide any fat weight loss that you have achieved. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/84.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

This figure is the result of a calculation involving only your weight and your height. While this is a good indicator that you may be overweight it is not the whole story. Your weight only comes in part from fat on the body, much of your body&rsquo;s mass is in fact muscle. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/82.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The human body is very much like any machine, if it doesn&rsquo;t get used then it stops working properly.

Exercise is a very important factor of losing weight, even when your main weight loss strategy is to maintain a lower calorific intake by staying on the Weight to Go diet plan. The great thing about exercise is that if you can make one element of it fun then the burst of endorphins (the body&rsquo;s feel good hormone) that you receive from exercise will become its own rewards and you will find that exercise becomes something to look forward to. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/81.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

It can be hard to stick to any kind of diet when facing the added problem of avoiding gluten rich foods, especially when many meal replacements feature wheat flour as a thickening agent or to provide bulk to a calorie controlled meal. This means that many sufferers of Gluten Allergies have to go it alone with their weight loss plans. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/79.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Dieting can be incredibly difficult to maintain. The pressures of modern life can make it hard to get enough exercise to maintain a good rate of weight loss, even on a structured meal replacement diet. It is very easy to feel all alone at times like this and in a way you can feel like you do not have the authority to put your foot down when life tries to take you in a direction that makes it impossible to stick to your diet plan, maybe you are made to feel that you can&rsquo;t take a walk at lunchtime, or that you must stay late in the office, necessitating a meal from a takeaway right before sleeping. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/77.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There are many who feel that a diet is not the way to lose weight. This belief is a puzzling one as the principle behind dieting is so simple that it cannot fail if followed properly. If you eat and drink a calorific intake lower than the energy you expend, you will lose weight.What many people forget is that their calorific intake doesn&rsquo;t just include the food they eat at breakfast, lunch and dinner, it also includes the drinks they have during the day plus the snacks they have &ldquo;to keep going&rdquo;. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/74.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Just to maintain our weight we should be walking approximately 10,000 steps a day and yet many of us will only manage 5-6,000 without extra effort. Here are a few ideas to add in those extra steps. It really is a case of one small step, one giant leap to improve your waistline...       Walk to work. &nbsp;If you live too far away take the car and leave it &frac12; mile from the office door. If you catch the tube or bus get off one stop earlier and walk the rest of the way     &nbsp;     Always take the stairs if you are going up one or two flights &ndash; more if you can make it     &nbsp;     Don&rsquo;t put your printer on your desk. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/71.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<link>http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/70.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[There is a big difference between being over-fat and being overweight. It is most important to understand that what you are seeking to do when you go on a weight loss diet such as Weight to Go, is to lose fat weight, not muscle weight, and that this may not necessarily mean a loss in your total body weight. This is because if you exercise regularly, you will tend to convert some of the fat you are carrying into muscle (lean body tissue). <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/70.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It&rsquo;s well known that we all underestimate the number of calories we consume and overestimate the amount of exercise we do. At Weight to Go we have crafted a weight loss diet that takes care of the calorie consumption part. You&rsquo;ll enjoy real food soups and low calorie meals that in a diet that keeps your &lsquo;calories in&rsquo; to just 850 per day.Also, we are often asked about exercise and the first thing we stress is that you don&rsquo;t need to turn your life upside down and become a gym monkey to make a material difference to your exercise routine. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/65.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[At Weight to Go we always tell our customers that meal replacement diets are the best form of low calorie diet but we often worry that they think this is just a sales ploy. Far from it, the fact is that there are many studies that show better weight loss using low calorie meal replacements than other low calorie diets.In fact one study, by the Dr Ditschuneit et al, showed that over a 3 month period, weight loss was 5 times greater in a group using meal replacements than in a group on a conventional low calorie diet. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/63.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A healthy diet is one that has positive effects on the body.&nbsp; By following a healthy diet the risk of potentially fatal medical conditions is decreased significantly. Those with an unhealthy diet, typically one that is high in saturated fat, low in nutrients and often containing large portion sizes, can see a build up of cholesterol in the body which in turn can lead to heart disease.

<description><![CDATA[The calorie is a measurement of energy first defined by Professor Nicholas Clement in 1824. In most cases this measurement of energy has been largely replaced with the joule, except when it comes to calculating the energy within food.&nbsp;The amount of calories that a woman&rsquo;s body should consume on a daily basis to maintain weight varies but on an average is approximately 2000 calories -&nbsp;this rises to 2500 for men. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/41.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<link>http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/20.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Carbohydrates are a key part of a nutritious diet plan. The low GI concept is based upon changing the type of carbohydrate consumed within a diet plan. When carbohydrates are digested various sugars, mainly glucose, are released into the bloodstream the body reacts to the change in blood glucose by releasing insulin, a hormone that causes glucose to stored in the body. Low GI Foods release glucose slowly providing steady supplies of energy. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/20.html">  More...</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Low carb diets suggest that we need to cut the amount of carbohydrate in a diet, whereas the low glycaemic index (GI) diet claims that we need to change the type of carbohydrate in a weight loss plan. When food containing carbohydrate is eaten and digested various sugars, mainly glucose, are released from the carbohydrate into the bloodstream.&nbsp; The body responds to the increase in blood glucose by releasing insulin, a hormone that causes glucose to be stored in the liver, muscle and other tissues for later use. <a href="http://www.weighttogo.com/BlogEntry/22.html">  More...</a>]]></description>
