Want to lose weight? Use your head
When beginning a weight loss program, you need to determine with your physician what a healthy weight is for your height. Body Mass Index (BMI), a measurement calculated from a person’s weight and height, is a good indicator of body fat. BMI is used as a screening tool to identify possible weight problems and identify risk for people with conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
BMI can be calculated by multiplying your weight (in pounds) by 705, then dividing by your height (in inches) twice. Generally speaking, an adult with a BMI of 25 or higher is considered overweight, and a BMI of 30 and higher is considered obese. You can check your BMI number at rushcopley.com/BMI.

A man’s secret to maintaining a healthy sex life well into old age could be as simple as shedding a few kilograms, says an Australian obesity expert.
“For men, the penis is the window to the heart,” says Wittert, speaking at the Australian Health and Medical Research Congress in Brisbane. “The blood vessels in the penis are exactly the same as the blood vessels in the heart.”
“If they have some erectile dysfunction then they’ve probably got subclinical coronary artery disease.”

Snack tips to help you get through the day
I feel like I’ve been losing and gaining the same 2-3 pounds for a while now. It’s frustrating, but I’m trying to take it in stride and I’m hoping that my loss this week is the first of a streak!
A few months ago, I did a story on tips for great breakfasts to get your day going. Today, I’m going to focus on snacking.
I’m definitely a grazer and snacker, so I was pretty excited when I started trying to lose weight and learned that the prevailing opinion these days is that snacking is an important part of weight loss.

Everything from waistbands to heart attacks increase during the holidays. So what can you do to prevent those unwanted tips of the scale or visits to the doctor?
Try concentrating more on friends and family, rather than food and drinks, say local nutritionists.

Christmas Weight Loss: Grapefruit Diet
Continuing with our countdown to a credit-crunch Christmas, this week we are focusing on diets in a bid to help you win the battle of the bulge. Yesterday we had a look at the The South Beach Diet and today we’re looking at a slightly controversial one- The Grapefruit Diet.
This was a popular 1980s diet that almost guaranteed weight loss, if you could stick to the extremely punishing diet of around 800 calories a day. The diet consists of eating lots of grapefruit to kick-start your metabolism, and then combining this will lots of black coffee, some boiled eggs and the odd bit of dry toast.

America’s Best and Worst Burgers
The burger industry in America is looking more and more like an arms race these days. Every few months, we watch in horror as another bacon-enhanced, cheese-embalmed, ranch-riddled weapon of mass inflation hits menu boards at the country’s largest restaurant chains.
The Baconator, the Monster Thickburger, the FlameThrower — they sound like weapons, not something you’d order for dinner.
What makes our hamburger habit particularly scary is the Super Size Phenomenon, which for years has been mutating our burgers into double burgers and our double burgers into 1,250-calorie Triple Whoppers with Cheese.
