Weight Loss - Low calorie diets may add pounds.
Cutting down on calories could make your weight go up, new multi-center study of 121 women suggests. Compared to volunteers who ate normally, women restricted to 1200 calories a day had rise in cortisol, a stress hormone linked to weight gain, especially in the belly. This finding may explain why up to 64 percent of American dieters ultimately gain back more pounds than they lose. The best method to safety shed one-half to two pounds a week - and keep them off - is by eating moderate portions of healthy food and exercising more frequently, reports the National Institutes of Health. This sensible weight control strategy also shrinks your risk for heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
