New exercise goal: for women 60 minutes a day (reported in the Wall Street, March 24, 2010)
A new study shows that women need 60 min of moderate exercise a day to PREVENT weight gain as they age. The findings suggest that they need more exercise than the current federal guide lines of 30 min of exercise per day. The study is being published in the Journal of American Medical Association.
Bottom line... if we want to lose weight, we need to exercise either more intensely or longer.

Is the claim, "Eating six meals a day instead of three big ones is better' really true? A carefully performed study published in 2009 in the British Journal of Nutrition involved obese men and women assigned to low-calorie diets and each subject consumed the same amount of calories per day. The subjects were divided into two groups, one group took in three meals and the other six. Both groups lost significant amounts of weight and there was no difference between the two groups.
Bottom line: there is no solid evidence that six smaller meals are better than three big ones. AS LONG AS THE NUMBER OF CALORIES STAY THE SAME.
