Fact or Fiction
What is fact and what is fiction? The latest weight loss research proves one thing. Slow steady weight loss is healthy.

It’s on every TV station and in many of my internet medical newsletters. A researcher in Alabama has separated the facts from fiction about losing weight. What they seem to have proved is what I’ve been telling my patients all along. You cannot be somebody you are not but you can be a better you.
I must take issue with one of the researcher’s statements. There are some things that, while they defy science, should never be challenged in public. The Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and the fact that sex leads to weight loss should be sacrosanct! Unfortunately, the news has chosen to focus on the fact that sex only burns 14 more calories than watching TV. What they didn’t account for were the calories in the popcorn and chips consumed while watching TV that were not consumed during sex (in most cases).
