You've been eating fewer calories, your trainer is your new BFF, and your body has gotten teenier. But now it seems like you couldn't lose a pound unless you cut your arm off. You've hit the dreaded plateau, a frustratingly common dieting phenomenon. "At a certain point in weight loss, usually after losing about ten percent of your weight, you may have to tweak your diet and exercise to jump-start your body again," says Susan Mitchell, Ph.D., R.D., co-author of Fat Is Not Your Fate. Here's why you might stall and what you can do to rev back up.

June 19, 2008 (Washington, DC) — A nationwide survey in France has found five factors that are significantly associated with successful weight loss after gastric banding. The study was part of a survey of medical and surgical practices conducted by the French National Medical Insurance Service and presented here at the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery 25th Annual Meeting. "Success" was defined as the loss of more than 50% of excess body weight.

The breakfast of champions may be one with lots of calories, especially when those calories come from carbohydrates and lean protein.
A study from the American Endocrine Society found when women consume the bulk of their daily calories right off the bat in the morning, the more weight they lost and the easier it was to keep the weight off.
In the study women who went with a low carb diet for eight months lost on average nine pounds. But those who ate a high carb and high calorie diet lost on average 39 pounds

This Review addresses two regimens with distinct macronutrient prescriptions that have been widely touted as being beneficial for weight loss and/or metabolic profile: diets low in carbohydrate and diets high in monounsaturated fat. Although data from recent randomized, controlled trials suggest these popular diets may be useful for weight control, cardiovascular health, and glycemic control, longer studies of the efficacy and safety of varying macronutrient content are needed to strengthen the evidence base for nutritional recommendations

When you eat a cup of yogurt, billions of bacteria make their way to your gut. Some researchers believe that these "probiotics" can be good for you, alleviating everything from bowel disease to allergies. Now, a team of researchers has shown that, at least in mice, supplementing food with a helping of "good" bacteria can cause profound metabolic changes, including some that may be linked to weight loss.
This idea foretells an exciting and potentially revolutionary future in which microbial interventions can correct metabolic abnormalities.

You probably don't need a scientific study to tell you there's no such thing as a magic weight-loss pill. But a paper published today on BMJ.com shows exactly that: Taking federally approved anti-obesity medications, such as Xenical and Acomplia, leads only to modest weight loss — an extra 6 lbs. to 10 lbs. (2.7 kg to 4.7 kg) a year — and it's not likely to radically trim down bulging waistlines. "People have to understand it's very difficult to lose weight," says lead author Raj Padwal, an assistant professor at the University of Alberta.

Insufficient sleep can negatively affect preteens' metabolism as well as their exercise and eating habits, causing them to get fat, researchers reported on Monday.
Children aged 9 to 12 who slept less than nine hours a night were more likely to gain weight than their more rested peers, according to researchers at the University of Michigan's Center for Human Growth and Development.

Obesity is associated with increased mortality. Weight loss improves cardiovascular risk factors, but no prospective interventional studies have reported whether weight loss decreases overall mortality. In fact, many observational studies suggest that weight reduction is associated with increased mortality.

LPC concentrations were decreased in cancer patients. LPC plasma concentrations correlated with weight loss and inflammatory parameters and, therefore, might be a general indicator of severity of malignant disease.
