Sleep-weight link depends on how sleep is defined

"It depends on what the meaning of the words 'is' is" alert!

More proof of the terrible research done in weight loss.

Remember the study that "proved" "...Children and teens who said they typically slept for more than 9 hours were less likely to be overweight than their peers who slept for 7 to 9 hours"?

Well, here is some new research that "proves":

"...when the study participants were asked to keep detailed diaries on their activities over two 24-hour periods, there turned out to be no link between sleep and weight."

I personally tend to believe the latter.

But whatever I believe is not as important as what I / we know.

Weight loss is all about Calories In, Calories Out.

Nothing else, nothing more.

For all the billions spent on stupid research and equivocal findings, there will never be anything found that will defeat Calories In, Calories Out.

If you want to lose weight, shut out the noise and do not listen to any of the experts. They have been proven wrong again and again.

Do yourself, your family and your children a favor. Ignore Oprah, Jorge Cruise, Jim Karas, Bob Greene, Mehmet C. Oz, Michael R. Roizen, David Katz, Eric Berg, Ian Smith, Phil McGraw, Andrew Weil, Bob Atkins, Art Agatston, the government, the pharmaceutical companies, Rodale Press, Discovery Health Channel, Katie Couric, Good Morning America, The View, Consumer Reports, Jennie Craig, Weight Watchers and the rest of the experts.

If you want to save your life, health and money, that is.

If not, then listen to them.
