Many celiacs lose weight before they are diagnosed; indeed it is
often one of the reasons people go to their doctors in the first
place.
Once on a gluten-free diet the symptoms disappear, and as a
result of better absorption or simply eating more, some people
gain too much weight.
Losing weight should be based on eating sensibly rather than
lurching from one diet to another. Be wary of low carbohydrate
diets, as high protein diets can cause acidosis, which in turn
can lead to calcium being ...

There are quite a few prescription medications used to combat
acne, but one of the most frequent choices for women is the use
of a birth control pill for acne. This approach can be used with
teenagers as well as adult women, but if you're a guy, you are
out of luck. Using the birth control pill for acne on a man is a
recipe for disaster. The female hormones would wreak havoc on a
man's system.
For women though, the birth control pill for acne can be a minor
miracle. And if your acne is severe ...

Many men are not particularly aware just how damaging being
overweight can be, surveys time and time again indicate that the
knowledge men have about excess weight is at a poor level. In
fact some men even seem to celebrate their lack of knowledge and
actually be proud of their excess weight, as though it's a sign
of masculinity. I have a friend that will routinely pat his beer
belly and with an air of satisfaction and a big smile on his
face say 'look at that, all bought and paid for'. You ...

I confess: I'm completely addicted to Pringles. My determination
weakens every time I think about munching into one, hearing the
crunch, and getting that first taste of its yummy flavor. Pure
heaven. Although you don't flip over chips, probably there's
another food that lures you into the refrigerator or the pantry
cabinet. According to one study, 97% of women (compared to 68%
of men) experience cravings on food.
How do you control these urges that drag you in an intoxicated
shape away from ...
