High blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks and diabetes are well recognized complications of being overweight. The association of cancer and obesity is much less publicized. An increase in breast and colon cancers in obese individuals has been well documented. The association of pancreatic cancer the fourth leading cause of cancer related deaths and weight gain has not been as widely publicized.

Satiety, the felling of fullness has been related to eating high protein or high fat foods, fiber and foods with high water concentrations like some vegetables and fruits like cantaloupe.
Drs Kirchner at al from the University of California are finding evidence that the opposite is true. Fatty foods do not increase fullness, they actually produce more hunger. Grehlin is the only hormone in our bodies that tell us to eat. It is triggered by hunger. Obese people that have had gastric bypass lose weight because the stomach disruption interferes with grehlin release and they have much less appetite.

Reporting from the European Congress of Obesity the week of May 4, 2009, Dirk Vissers a physiotherapist at Artesis University and College in Antwerp, Belgium reports results on 61 overweight men and women who were tested on a vibrating plate machine and a low calorie diet. Spending an average of 12 minutes a session for 6 months on the vibrating plate they lost 10% of their initial weight compared to 7% for individuals following the same diet and conventional exercise. He emphasized 
that just standing on the machine was not enough, and that a program routine was needed. It is thought that vibration caused muscles to contract and the increased blood flow to the abdomen produced more efficient breakdown of fat. Who knows?
It looks like things have not changed much in the last 60 years. |

Burning Up Fat, that's the Dream of Many Dieters:
This week ( April 2, 2009) it was all about brown fat in the New England Journal of Medicine. Brown adipose tissue (called brown fat) helps babies, young children, and other small mammals stay warm by burning calories when activated by low temperatures. Two roups of researchers speculated that activating brown fat in obese people might help them to burn off the extra calories and lose weight.

This week ( April 2, 2009) it was all about brown fat in the New England Journal of Medicine. Researchers speculated that activating brown which is metabolically very active could form the basis of a new approach to obesity treatment.
Brown adipose tissue (called brown fat) helps babies, young children, and other small mammals stay warm by burning calories when activated by low temperatures. Two studies show it may play a role in metabolism in adults. "The incredible excitement about this is that we have an entirely new way to try to go after obesity," said Dr. Aaron Cypess of the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, Massachusetts He noted that activating brown fat may burn calories and lead to new ways to treat obesity.
Cypess noted people who had PET-CT scans done in the winter had the most brown fat, while those scanned in the summer had the least; people who underwent the tests in the spring or fall fell in the middle. Brown fat was located above the collarbones and in the upper chest and consumed lots of energy while white fat the regular fat that stores extra calories and makes us gain weight and shows very little metabolic activity.
"The people who had brown fat were younger and leaner. People with little brown fat were older and more obese. The maximum amount of extra energy that people with relatively large brown fat deposits can burn probably tops out at about 500 calories
