Some folks are wondering is there a connection between caffeine and weight loss. Try to keep in mind a few scientifically proven facts about caffeine, and then you can decide for yourself whether or not caffeine and weight loss have anything in common, or whether the idea of a caffeine and weight loss diet is as absurd as it sounds.

The effects of caffeine and weight loss have been few and far between, simply because there are only a few real instances where caffeine and weight loss seemed to correlate in a given situation. A caffeine and weight loss diet seems a bit far fetched when you take into consideration the fact that caffeine acts as a stimulant, and when imbibed, results in and increase of your blood pressure and heart rate. While a caffeine and weight loss diet can seem the answer for energy, it can affect your sleep patterns and cause irritability and nervous reactions. Caffeine and weight loss diets also consist of a high amount of calories, which ultimately could result in weight gain instead of weight loss.

On a caffeine and weight loss diet, you may experience a suppression of your appetite, but this is merely a brief respite and has yet to show a significant effect on weight loss. The caffeine and weight loss diet may show a higher caloric burn, yet still not high enough to result in raising the number of people helped by caffeine and weight loss diets. On a caffeine and weight loss diet, you will experience an increase of urine output, due to the caffeine and weight loss acting as a diuretic. This however is merely water weight, and again, caffeine and weight loss diets have no standing to support their claims.

Still wondering if caffeine and weight loss are actually connected? The answer is no. There are too many caffeine and weight loss stories going around that have medical research backing to support them, and these caffeine and weight loss stories all have the same thing in common, no, weight loss by caffeine and weight loss from a proper diet and exercise have nothing in common. Caffeine and weight loss are not something that you should believe in the same sentence. These particular claims concerning these two topics have been tested, and found that although caffeine temporarily affects a spike in your heart rate and gives you a temporary surge of energy, using the two as a diet combination, is not advised. A main lie about caffeine and weight loss is the fact that some people think it is actually healthy.

Caffeine is not healthy, and should be used in moderation, caffeine and weight loss have no common qualities except that too many people consume caffeine in some form or another, and too many people are trying to lose weight in unhealthy ways. Using caffeine and weight loss fads are really just a waste of your valuable time and energy. Find out from your doctor, the best diet to try, and find yourself — in a healthy way.

First we obsess over stars’ “baby bumps,” then we shame the new moms into squeezing back into skinny jeans as quickly as possible. Katie Gentile on the double standard that hurts women.

Sarah Michelle Gellar is back in her “skinny jeans” just four weeks after giving birth to her daughter, reports Us Weekly. Ditto Ellen Pompeo, I read in People. Twice, Heidi Klum walked the Victoria Secret runway just six weeks after having a baby. Natalia Vodianova topped them all, taking to the catwalk a mere two weeks after giving birth.

In 2010, God help the celebrity who fails to shed the baby weight immediately, as she may end up on the wrong side of one of those ubiquitous “best and worst post-baby bodies” pictorials. It is chilling to watch the culture become more and more obsessed with babies, while the evidence of how these babies are created is removed from public view. The supermarket tabloids obsessively scope out “baby bumps,” cooing each time a C- or even D-lister conceives. But the second the bumps become bouncing bundles of joy, the pressure is on for the new mom to squeeze back into her skinny jeans. The post-baby body must banish the bump, or risk ridicule.

It’s as if we should actually believe the baby dropped from the stork, from the sky, from anywhere but that toned, buff body.

It used to be that People magazine confined news about pregnancy and babies to its “Milestones” section. Now baby obsession has changed the very structure of the magazine, giving us features such as “Mommy and Me Fashion,” “Celebrity Family Albums,” and the ever-popular rush to publish the first photos of celebrity spawn. Similarly, celebrity gossip magazines and blogs now devote entire sections to bump patrols, moms and babies (only occasionally dads), and a parade of post-baby body photos. In this “new” culture that seems to mix domestic ideals of the 1950s with the expanded opportunities of the 21st century, baby bumps—expanding breasts and bellies—are celebrated, photographed, tracked, and made an endless source of speculation. But we ignore the less attractive, yet all-too-real aspects of pregnancy: There are no swollen ankles, plump thighs, or puffy faces allowed on the red carpet.

Of course, intense scrutiny of women’s bodies is not new, and celebrity antics have long made for profitable media fodder, but the obsession with postpartum weight control is something new. These days, we rarely see a picture of a pregnant celebrity without the requisite estimation of weight gain, called “baby weight,” as if it is somehow separate from the mother’s body. The best way to get rid of it is breast-feeding, the tabloids tell us, claiming that lactation magically and effortlessly melts away pounds.

Yet as The New York Times recently noted, research is conflicting as to whether breast-feeding actually promotes weight loss. Breast-feeding may burn calories, but it also stimulates appetite, leading many women to eat more. The Mayo Clinic advises normal-weight, healthy women to exercise moderately and eat about 300 more calories per day while pregnant, gaining between 25 and 35 pounds over the course of the nine months. And Mayo advises women to lose only 1 postpartum pound per week in order to maintain solid nutrition. La Leche League advises that women not diet for the first 2 months after delivery to help their bodies recover and establish good milk flow.

Contrast this information with Us Weekly celebrating Ashlee Simpson-Wentz for sticking to her 1,500-calorie-a-day post-pregnancy diet, People discussing Liv Tyler’s postpartum fasting and colonics, or Ok magazine’s “Baby Weight Secrets,” which advise women to stick to fat- and carb-free diets and spend hours exercising daily.

It would be easy to see this obsession with post-baby weight control as just part and parcel of the usual misogynistic obsession with women’s weight. Female celebrities are under constant pressure to stay thin. But look at it another way: When women shed the baby weight, they are not merely getting back their pre-baby body, they are obliterating all the evidence of ever having had a baby in the first place. This means the one thing that only women’s bodies can do is expected to be immediately erased. The post-baby body is wrung of its recent life-giving feat. Sagging milk-filled breasts must appear perky; the once-swollen abdomen is made concave. It’s as if we should actually believe the baby dropped from the stork, from the sky, from anywhere but that toned, buff body.

I read these negative comments about Alton looking “gaunt” and how “depressing it is” that he made healthy food. It's disgusting how some people will attack anything healthful, so that they can have an excuse to eat their hash browns and bacon and let their butts take up 2 seats on an airplane. Serious people, Alton looks healthy. We are suppose to naturally be thin, athletic. We used to chase animals and migrate long distances. “Meat on your Bones” that's fat on your bones. If you are attracted to fat giggles, then good for you, but it's pathetic reading a bunch of chubby people put a man down for doing a healthful episode that was created to show a personal weight triumph and help people like yourselves make better choices. It is obvious you'd rather poo poo anything healthy or put down the bearer of healthy news so that you can justify and keep telling yourselves, ” I eat healthy… I don't want to be too thin… not like that Alton…” and of course you are most likely 40 pounds over weight and in denial. You'd be blessed to be thin and healthy like Alton… the hottest man on TV!

And to the person that was gagging over a smoothie. Serious? Fresh blended fruit makes you sick, but greasy hashbrowns loaded with empty calories are “good”? Wake up, or die of obesity and heart disease.

As for how often to eat the sandwiches. Alton didn't mean he ate them breakfast, lunch and dinner. He meant it could be eaten at any meal, and he made it a point to recommend only eating oily fish and avacados 3 xs a week. It's been proven that there are a lot of heart healthy fats in avocados and some can even help you lose fat, fat. But, of course, rather than picking up a book or doing a little research, some of you choose to dismiss the foreign info and act like you are all nutritionists as you down your twinkies.

I love food too, and experimenting. I like tasty food, but food is medicine. Of course, an occasional indulgence can be fun, but occasional. Hashbrowns and sausage? That is not a daily food!!!! You're not a fan of sardines, don't eat them! There are plenty of healthful alternatives to Alton's few recommendations. I just wonder, what do you love more? Yourselves or Your food?
