Weight Loss Foods: What to Eat and What to Limit?

January 3, 2026January 3, 2026 admin

When you’re trying to lose weight, the internet can be confusing. One website says bananas make you fat, another says it burns belly fat. Truth is: no single food causes weight gain or weight loss. Your results depend on total calories, protein intake, fiber, sleep, hormones, and activity level. But some foods do support weight loss because they keep you fuller for longer, maintain muscle, and reduce overeating. Is poha good for weight loss? Yes, in moderation. Poha is light, low in fat, and easy to digest. Adding vegetables +…

Resolutions for lasting weight loss that actually work

December 11, 2025December 11, 2025 admin

Why Weight-Loss Plans Don’t Work The majority of weight-loss resolutions made for the new year fail because they are based on unsustainable principles rather than severe restrictions. When you drastically cut calories or eliminate entire food groups, your body responds by slowing metabolism and increasing levels of hunger hormones such as ghrelin. This biological response makes long-term weight management nearly impossible. Research shows that restrictive diets fail because they don’t address the underlying behaviors and lifestyle factors that contribute to weight gain. Successful people prioritize developing healthy lifestyle habits that…

The Ongoing Journey of Healthy Weight Loss

There are numerous reasons why research holds significant value for us. For instance, research can lead to the development of a new therapy (such as Alexander Fleming’s discovery of penicillin), innovative concepts (like Einstein’s relativity theory), or alternative approaches (e.g., Dr. Doudna’s CRISPR gene-editing technique). The introduction of new ideas is a central aspect that underscores the importance of research. However, there are occasions when research matters not because it presents innovations, but because it reinforces older concepts that we have been hesitant to acknowledge. A recent study regarding weight gain following the cessation of tirzepatide (Zepbound) exemplifies this situation. Zepbound is an effective GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) medication that assists numerous individuals in achieving significant weight reduction along with improvements in metabolic conditions (such as diabetes, fatty liver disease, and sleep apnea). In the Phase 3 clinical trial involving Zepbound, patients lost an average of over 50 pounds during a year of treatment. This degree of weight loss has yet to be matched by any non-surgical method. However, this new study posed a different inquiry:…

The Key to Losing Weight

November 11, 2025November 11, 2025 admin

In medical school, we were taught that controlling weight was as easy as doing math in elementary school: subtracting calories from food equals losing weight. Eat less, move more, problem solved. Therefore, why have obesity rates continued to rise, reaching 40% of Americans in 2021 and 2023? It’s because our brains evolved to resist weight loss and prefer high-calorie foods during times of scarcity. This makes today’s food environments, where shelves are filled with highly satisfying food, extremely problematic. The more we reduce our calorie intake, the more loudly our…

Sleep and Menopause

You are not alone if you wake up at 2 a.m. covered in sweat or toss and turn all night. More than just mood swings and hot flashes, many women suffer from menopausal sleep disturbances. Additionally, it may result in sleepless nights and hazy mornings. The Sleep Foundation says that up to 61% of women in the perimenopause and postmenopause have frequent problems sleeping. It can be challenging to fall asleep and stay asleep due to mood swings, night sweats, and hormonal changes. However, there are ways to get a…
