I am getting ready to play a 2nd go around of the Game on Diet. The Diet where you get to shrink your own butt while you are kicking your friend's butt! It is too much fun! The first 4 weeks were practice for me! As soon as I said I will do this, I immediately rebelled against the rules! I ate worse and exercised less than I did before the game! So that was a lesson about me! Does not like to be told what to do, follow the rules or play well with others! Ha!
What I do love about this "Game on Diet" (google it, buy the book, visit their website) is that it is not about losing weight -- it is about getting fit -- being healthy! So we are practicing healthy habits! I love it!
Want to play with us? Just let me know!

Fake Obesity Experts
Fake Obesity Experts
A lot of top obesity "experts" say they know what makes people fat, and how to fix it.
The only problem is: they just can't seem to do it where their own body is concerned!
How is it that fat people can get on television posing as obesity experts?
We all know there's one group
of weight loss experts who aren't fat -- those who teach a healthy,
whole food, plant-based diet.

Is it Time to Stop Taking A Multivitamin?
DAVID KATZ, M.D.: IS IT TIME TO STOP TAKING A MULTIVITAMIN?
This is great. The ultimate question – to multivitamin or not to multivitamin 
Why do we take multivitamins? I know for me it is all about prevention. I want to make sure my family and I, receive all the necessary nutrients to stay healthy, to support our bodies and our organs, to maintain strong immune system and keep it all in balance.
Why not get this assurance from nutrition, from real food, from what I eat? Well in my experience, there are few downfalls in relying solely on the food we eat to maintain a strong healthy body:- I can never be sure, especially with my kids, that they eat enough of vegetables, fruits and berries.
- Even if they do eat plenty, is there enough variety to get all the necessary nutrients the body needs to grow and stay healthy?
- The produce I buy at the supermarket and even at the local farm store had to travel for days to get here and the level of nutrients is depleted. To get the most out of our fruits, vegetables and berries, we have to eat them as fresh as possible.
- It costs a lot of money to buy all organic and all locally grown - and still it may not be as fresh as I would like it to be.
- Also cooking vs. eating raw - if most vegetable we eat are cooked - do we still get the full nutritious value of these vegetables?
- Even when juicing, I consume limited variety of produce, and much still depends on its’ freshness.
According to Dr Katz, we still need the nutritional support system but it needs to be based on whole-food and Juice Plus+ (he provides a link to it in the article) according to him is one such supplement:
“Such products are “humble” in the sense that they don’t presume to know how to combine nutrients — they let nature do it. They simply compress the nutrients from healthful foods into pill form so that those who don’t eat quite as they should — including children — can fill in the gaps”
- the next best thing to fruits and vegetables.

Pediatrician offers ways parents can head off childhood obesity
Pediatrician offers ways parents can head off childhood obesity | ||
New Year’s resolutions aren’t just for grown-ups; kids benefit from healthy changes, too.
But children can’t reach their health and fitness goals without their parents getting on board.
Dr. Chandra Miller, a pediatrician at The Longstreet Clinic, discussed healthy families Thursday at the monthly WomenSource Brown Bag Lunch.
During the presentation, she discussed how families have changed the way they view obesity and unhealthy weight.
Years ago, parents would take their children to the doctor if they suspected a child might be reaching an unhealthy weight. Their biggest concern was the child’s self-esteem.
These days, many parents are overweight or obese themselves and don’t recognize their child’s weight as a health threat.
"Lots of families don’t realize this is a problem," Miller said. "They don’t see the problem because all the other kids in the class look like their child."
Last year, Gov. Nathan Deal announced a statewide initiative to address obesity in Georgia. According to the governor’s office, nearly 40 percent of children ages 10 to 17 in Georgia are considered overweight or obese.
Children are developing obesity-related illnesses like Type 2 diabetes and heart disease at younger ages. These illnesses were once thought to only occur in adults.
"If these children continue on this path, they will probably not live as long as their parents," Miller said.
The good news is that many health problems can be prevented or improved with healthy lifestyle changes.
Miller said it’s important for families as a whole to work together and support each other with healthy changes. But a lot of families seem to think eating healthy is too expensive, she said.
"It might be more expensive in the beginning, but not in the long run," Miller said. "One bag of apples will last longer and make you feel fuller than a bag of chips."
Another way families can improve their health is by eliminating unnecessary sugar from their diets. Miller said families are often shocked to learn how much sugar is contained in drinks like soda and juice.
A 20 ounce Coca-Cola Classic which has 250 calories and 15 teaspoons of sugar. A 15 ounce cup of apple juice has more than 200 calories and 11 teaspoons of sugar.
Even drinks labeled as "100 percent juice" are loaded with calories and sugar.
"The only 100 percent juice I feel is OK is if you’re eating an apple or an orange," Miller said.
Miller also suggested parents stop assuming their children are eating healthy meals at school. While healthy options are often served, children may not make the wisest choices. She suggested packing children a simple lunch with a sandwich, vegetable and fruit and a bottle of water.
Dinner time can provide a great opportunity for parents to expose their children to new foods and healthy habits. Parents can get their children more interested in healthful foods by allowing them to choose a new fruit or vegetable to make with the evening meal.
After dinner, families can incorporate an exercise routine by going on a walk or playing a game.
Angie Beccue, health and wellness manager at the J.A. Walters Family YMCA in Gainesville, said she has noticed more families coming into the gym together.
"In general, health and wellness has been pushed and promoted and families are getting more involved with that," Beccue said.
She said it’s not uncommon to see mothers and some of the older children taking group fitness classes like yoga together.
The YMCA offers group fitness classes geared specifically to children as well.
Beccue said parents can do a lot to help their children reach a healthy weight and live healthy lifestyles by learning more about what choices to make.
One of the things she wishes more families understood is that nutrition is just as beneficial as working out. Helping children learn about healthy foods and how to make healthy choices is critical.
"Diet is important and fitness is important," Beccue said. "Catching onto that at a young age is important. It’s good for kids to know you can get a lot of fun out of fitness."
