Diabetic Digest - Wednesday, January 27, 2010

Readers:

I am feeling great. I hopped on the scale this morning and
I've now lost 12lbs. in just over 3 weeks. I can't believe
I lost that much weight from simply not eating fast food.

I eat so much better now and enjoy foods I forgot about.
Stir Fry is becoming my favorite meal, I think. I make it
the healthiest way I can and it never lets me down.

There are so many health ways to improve some of your
favorite meals. And in my opinion, it makes them so much
more enjoyable.

I'm feeling better and that's just from eating better.
I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can start
exercising outdoors in the fresh air. Come on, Spring!

Regards,
Steve

Task Force Recommends Screening,
Treatment for Obesity in Kids
Reuters

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has updated its
2005 recommendation, saying that clinicians should now
screen children and adolescents ages six to 18 years
for obesity. The Task Force also suggests that patients
should be referred to a comprehensive program of dietary,
physical activity, and behavioral counseling if they are
obese according to their body-mass index (BMI).

Obesity rates have reached about 12 percent to 18 percent
in two- to 19-year-olds, a sixfold increase since the
1970s, the Task Force reports in the February issue of
Pediatrics. In creating the updated recommendations, the
Task Force reviewed 13 behavioral intervention trials
involving 1,258 obese children and adolescents aged four
to 18.

Moderate- to high-intensity programs, involving more than
25 hours of contact with the child or family over six
months, yielded a BMI decrease by 12 months after the
program began.
