2A – Daily News – Monday, March 7, 2011 Community people&events The common sense diet "Lose 20 pounds in one week! No dieting! No exercise! No lifestyle change!" I will admit that I’ve been Marine Corps League meets From left to right, Marines John Minton, Warren Flornouy, Buddy Male, Anthony Aiello, Milton Goings and Roy Fansler met at M & M Restaraunt for breakfast to to discuss items that are on their plates for Tehama County this year. Items included Toys for Tehama and mentoring programs for the youth in Tehama County. They're concerned about the drugs, alochol, tobacco, abuse, bullying, gangs and violence in Tehama County and how to raise awareness and funds for fighting these areas of concern. These Marines are members of the Marine Corps League, Detachment 1140, Tehama/Red Bluff. Meetings are held every third Wednesday, 6:30 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Hall, 735 Oak St., Red Bluff.

Yet, decades later, such 127- point screaming headline procla- mations remain as common fare across the back pages of tabloids; or enthusiastically, breathlessly broadcast on slick, highly pro- duced infomercials featuring ques- tionable "experts" interviewing "real people" experiencing "actual results." When we can turn down the magical thinking long enough to strap on our adult brain thinking caps, we know that losing weight is not rocket science; it’s a simple premise; keep your mouth shut longer and your feet moving fur- ther and you’ll end up at your cor- rect weight. The bottom line is quite simply "calories in versus calories out." Period; end of story; mystery over. Spend more than you take in and — voila! — a new skin- ny you. Should you need validation of this fact, the New England Journal of Medicine published a report a while ago, that proved that as long as a diet reduced one’s caloric intake, the result was weight loss — regardless of the diet's make up of fat, protein, or carbohydrate. They asked 811 overweight and obese adults to try one of four dif- ferent low-fat, high fiber diets. Activity was encouraged, and par- ticipants could receive group and individual support to keep them motivated. What they discovered was that craving, fullness, hunger, and diet satis- faction were similar across all four diets; and that all participants lost weight and reduced their waistlines — irrespec- tive of the type of diet they followed. Dr. Yoni Freedhoff, medical director of the Bariatric Medical Insti- tute in Ottawa, says the study's results are good news for those who hate dieting, mentioning that the key to success is to find something you like so you will stick to it for the necessary period required to obtain your goal. "If (people) are trying to adhere to a diet they don't like, it's not going to work long term. If you don't like it now, you won't like it two years down the road. So what- ever you are doing, if you don't like it, try something else." Of course, common sense must prevail; not all calories are created equal and the real objective is good health, not simply a number on a scale. As illustration, let’s assume your body needs about 1500 calo- ries a day to maintain its weight. You decide you want to lose a pound a week, requiring you to shed approximately 500 calories a day. To do this, you switch to the "all beer diet." "Drink only beer and lose weight!" the promoters proclaim. At about 125 calories per serving, that equates to eight serv- ings a day and nothing else. Question: Would you lose weight? Answer: Sure, it’s calo- ries in versus calories out. Question two: Would you be healthy? Answer: Not a chance. You might be skinny, but you’d be a wreck. I’d love to be the one to Scott Q. Marcus unveil a new magical solu- tion to weight loss; on that requires neither changes nor adjustments. I’d also like to be able to flap my arms and fly. Neither is going to happen. However, if I flap often enough, I could burn off a few calories; drop a few pounds, and even firm up that wiggly part under my arms.
