Atkins Diet Comes Out On Top

New Weight-Loss Drugs Pass First Test

Flip a Switch to Burn Fat

Greetings,

Just as we've been hearing more and more about good and bad fats,

diet gurus are starting to talk more about good and bad carbohydrates. Brown,

white, high index -- all terms used to describe carbs. But is there one that can

really help you drop those extra pounds? See what the experts think.

Atkins Diet Comes Out On Top

Compared with a low-fat diet, overweight and obese people lose more

weight -- faster -- on the Atkins diet. But, is it safe?

New Weight-Loss Drugs Pass First Tests

Two new drugs may soon be available to aid weight loss. In recent

studies, an experimental drug and a drug used to treat epilepsy helped people

shed unwanted pounds. Get all the weighty details.

Flip a Switch to Burn Fat

Imagine flipping a switch that allows you to burn fat rather than

store it. Researchers say they've found such a fat-burning switch in mice that

might one day lead to new treatments for obesity in humans.

Excess Weight Linked to Cancer Death

A major new study offers the strongest evidence yet that being

overweight increases your risk of dying from cancer. Some 90,000 cancer deaths a

year in the U.S. could be prevented if people maintained a normal body weight.
