How can I stop being hungry? – The Chart - CNN.com Blogs

Losing weight has always been tough for me. It's even tougher for me now that I'm in my 40s. However, I made a resolution for 2010, and with diet and exercise, I've managed to lose 35 pounds.

I've managed to lose weight through grit and determination. The problem is, I am always hungry and my appetite is ravenous, difficult to satisfy. I want to eat until I'm full EVERY TIME I eat. If it wasn't for force of will, I would continue to eat and pack the pounds back on.

Is there anything I can do to fight the hunger?

For Teens, Too Much Sugar Can Be A Heartbreaker : Shots - Health News Blog : NPR

Teenagers who guzzle a daily bottle of soda are probably not thinking much about their hearts as the sweet stuff runs down their throats.

Antonio Garcia re-stocks the beverages at The Corner Market in Washington, D.C., in 2010. Study author Jean Welsh says that sweetened beverages tend to be the biggest source of added sugar.

But a new study suggests they should be. Teens who consume lots of added sugar — usually found in sugar-sweetened beverages — risk heart problems later in life, researchers found.

This main problem is the sheer volume of sugar American teens consume: 28.3 teaspoons of added sugar a day on average. That makes up a whopping one-fifth of their daily calories, according to Jean Welsh, study author and post-doctoral fellow in pediatric nutrition at Emory University School of Medicine. It works out to an average of 476 calories a day.

 

Teens who consumed the highest percentage of their calories from added sugar had less of the "good" cholesterol compared with consumers who ate the least sugar. Another finding was that teens who consumed more added sugars also had higher levels of the "bad" cholesterol  and fats called triglycerides.

Medical News: FDA Panel Says Okay to Lower BMI for Lap-Band - in Primary Care, Obesity from MedPage Today

An FDA advisory committee voted 8 to 2 that Allergan's Lap-Band device is safe enough to use in patients with a BMI as low as 30.

The stomach-shrinking device is currently approved for weight loss in people who are at least 100 pounds overweight or have a body mass index (BMI) of at least 40, or a BMI of at least 35 with other comorbidities such as heart disease.

Allergan is looking for approval to lower those BMI cutoffs to 35 and 30 respectively.

If the FDA follows the advice of its advisory committee the Lap-Band could be an option for another 27 million Americans.

The Lap-Band is an adjustable silicon band that is implanted through tiny incisions around the upper stomach. It works by reducing stomach capacity and thus the amount of food the stomach can hold. Its use involves a less invasive procedure than gastric bypass or stomach stapling, but it is also less effective, FDA reviewers noted in briefing documents released in advance of Friday's meeting.

The FDA's Gastroenterology and Urology Devices Panel spent Friday discussing Allergan's single-arm study of 143 patients with the lower BMI criteria.

All 143 had significant reductions in weight and BMI after one year, with only 37% still meeting the criteria for obesity.

After one year, eight out of 10 Lap-Band recipients lost at least 30% of their excess weight, and 66% lost at least half.
