Marathoning Mice Could Have Olympian Effects on Obesity

August 24, 2004
LA JOLLA, CA — A molecular switch known to regulate fat metabolism appears to prevent obesity and turns laboratory mice into marathon runners, a Salk Institute study has found.

The discovery of the switch could lead to treatments for obesity and disorders associated with it, such ...

My Uncle passed away last night so tomorrow I'll be travelling to my home town (6 hours) and will be there until friday.

I don't have any of the ready to drink stuff - any tips/advice on how to pack and shake up on the road? I was thinking of bringing my own greens, but I'm worried about them wilting in the cooler (any experience with that?). Would some kind of coldcuts, like turkey or ...

Hi Everyone,

I just reached the 16 week mark which I somehow feel makes me a MF veteran. I thought I'd post both my results and some observations about the program etc., in the hope that it will help someone who is on the program or considering it.

First - my progress. I have lost 45.4 pounds with a goal of 70-75 total to lose. That puts me very near the average 16 week weight ...

WOW YOU ALL have said some inspirational things to me thanks so much! I am on day2 again. I really believe this time i can do it. I have other issues going on and I am going for counseling also and it has been helping. I feel motivated today and I feel like i can get through a complete week. It seems like when the weekend comes around I loose trackon what is reality. I ...

I do not know why i am feeling so depressed. I have so much to be thankful for. Life is suppose to be what you make it. I have a great career and a wonderful son. I find it so hard to stay focused on this diet. I am sucessful at everything else but why not Medifast? Last week i was so motivated and over the weekend it was pure H*LL! I have to many ...

and 40lbs:yes:! I'm in shock :shock:!

This is a bit surreal to me ... it's like I expected to lose weight quickly, but, of course, never knowing exactly how fast I would lose it, so I'm just overjoyed!

You all are the first to know! I share this victory with each and every one of you and am wishing continued success for all. We CAN and WILL ...

Ok, I got through this week by the skin of my teeth, but add another 5 pounds lost for me. I was really worried, as I was very bad and did not drink my water for 4 days. I really "flushed" myself the last two days though! So that puts me at 23.5 pounds after 2 weeks. That's something to celebrate, huh?

This may be strange, but I have to ask--LOL When I was on Medifast previously, I was always hungry at night--I don't sleep much, and stay up late and rise early, so even if my last shake is at 7p.m., by 9 my belly starts to growl and by the time I hit the sack (midnight or so) my stomach is pinching with hunger--ouch! I soon saw a pattern, though, in that on the nights ...

Hey guys, I've just finished week two and wanted to stop in and brag. Bragging is allowed here, right??

Today marks two weeks since starting the 5:1 plan and I'm down 10 lbs. Half way to my first of three mini goals (20 lbs each!).

Anyone contemplating using this product....take my advice....it works!

Have a great day everyone!
