Fructose Syrup & Weight Gain- Not So Simple

Posted on July 24, 2012 by Lynn Eades

In recent years there has been an increased amount of concern regarding high fructose syrup as a main ingredient in our food and drinks. A study in the Annals of Internal Medicine looked at people who consumed the extra fructose baked into breads or sprinkled into their drinks to see whether or not they gained extra weight compared to those who didn’t consume extra fructose.

Researchers looked at over 30 studies that included over 600 people. They looked at factors such as the types of diets they had, where they got their fructose in their diet and if it lead to increased weight gain.

What they found was if you add extra simple sugar in your diet by sprinkling it on your food or drinks, it’s probably not going to make you gain weight as long as you cut down on other carbohydrates and calories to make up for it. So, the fructose itself didn’t lead to gaining weight as much as total caloric intake.

The bottom line here is if you do want to add that sugar to your coffee or tea, just take a couple of bites less of whatever you’re eating and be mindful of your daily calorie count.

Will online weight programs help you keep your weight off?

Posted on August 30, 2011 by Lynn Eades

Doctors across the United States are fighting an uphill battle with many of the patients they see everyday. As obesity continues to remain a major epidemic in this country, so too does the fight against it. But is there a new way to help all our patients, friends and family members struggling with weight issues? We recently found an interesting study looking at whether internet protocols could help you loose weight.

According to a study published in the International Journal of Obesity, on average, those involved in programs that combined internet support with some sort of in-person counseling were two pounds lighter than those in programs with no online support. It appears that the in-person part was important at the beginning but that the online portion was key to maintaining the weight loss.

More and more on-line programs now exist that have both web or telephone based as well as in-person components. What this study really shows us is that if you struggle maintaining your weight, participating in an online portion could be of some benefit, but it will take more resolve on your part too.

We do always want to know- what does it cost? And what kind of support do you get? These kinds of answers can make a difference. Before you invest your time and money it’s important to find a program that best fits your needs.
