The number of people who are medically defined as being obese (which is weighing more than 20% over their ideal weight) is near 34 million in the United States alone. (Source: www.med.Stanford.edu ) The number of people who are currently on, have recently completed, have given up on or are about to kick off a diet of any kind is 20 million at any given time, and they spend around one billion dollars every year on fitness and nutrition plans, pills, supplements and equipment.

Dieters who dejectedly complain they are figuratively “stuck” with their excess fat may be surprised to learn there is a scientifically-accurate truth to their statement. Fat cells — which are created when the body is unable to convert excess calories to energy — are permanent. Fat cells cannot be removed by any diet known to humanity [1]. They can, however, be reduced in size. This is the experience enjoyed by people who lose weight [i].

The majority of people have a problem with weight. There are billions of people who are overweight or obese, and many of them are either starting, in the middle of, or giving up on a diet at the start of every day. Because weight is one of the most important health risks for a number of conditions, it is important to make sure that everything that can possibly be done is. While some weight gain or inability to lose weight may be linked to medical conditions, it is often more likely a problem related to diet and/or lack of exercise. Of course, there is the age old excuse that some people love to give for their weight gain: slow metabolism.

Finally, dieters and healthy eaters everywhere have reason to rejoice, for there is a clear understanding of which fats, and which carbohydrates should be eaten for optimal health.

There are many reasons why people use protein supplements, from medical reasons to muscle recovery following workouts or for weight loss/weight gain diets. Teenagers use protein supplements for the same reasons, but are these supplements good for a young body that is still growing?

Epilepsy is a fairly common condition that can cause repeated or prolonged seizures. These seizures can cause a number of different sensations, depending on the type of seizure that is involved and the severity of the epilepsy. It is important to note that not everyone who has a seizure has epilepsy and that not all seizures will be repeated. Because of some negativity surrounding the term epilepsy, some doctors now prefer to use the more neutral term seizure disorder.
