Any food can make you fat, not just those foods high in carbohydrates. Carbohydrates, like protein, provide 4 calories per gram; fat provides 9 calories per gram.

Stress makes us fat in several ways. First, although the behavioral response to stress is often thought to be a primary reason for weight gain (e.g. we reach for the Haagen-Dazs when we feel stressed out), there are two very powerful physiological reasons for the link between stress and weight gain. Whenever we are under stress, our bodies release its primary stress hormone – known as cortisol.

I find this question pretty interesting. Some people really think they are in one weight category when they are really in a very different one, be it more or less. A doctor is the best person to determine whether you have a weight problem. Doctors measure your weight and height and given your age and growth patterns, he would assess where you stand from that perspective.

I do love popcorn and here is the infamous recipe: air pop corn in a paper grocery bag, sprinkle 1 or 2 tsp. olive oil over the top and shake bag to spread it around. Spray Pam into the bag and shake, light spray again and shake. Then sprinkle in low sodium salt and/or black pepper and viola! the perfect low fat high fiber snack (the paper bag will absorb much of the oil, but to make it a nonfat snack, omit the olive oil).

It seems that every time science uncovers some type of association between body fat and anything, opportunistic entrepreneurs are waiting in the shadows to create a product and a marketing campaign around it.
