In April, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh spoke toDetroit coachesaboutfullback Khalid Hill and offensive guard Michael Onwenu needingto lose weight.
Two months later, both players moving in the right direction.
Theyre making strides, Harbaugh said Friday after the U-M elite high school camp.
Theyre coming along. Not yet (where Harbaugh wants). Getting there though. But thats the process. As a coach, youd like to have them a little bit faster. They understand now that things have amped up and theres heat out here and these workouts are more strenuous, just how important it is for them to be in great shape.
If youre not in great shape, no matter how courageous youare as an athlete. It makes cowards of us all when youre fatigued and out of shape. ... That realitys getting in there.

The April comments cut right to the two players and what they need to accomplish.
Theres no question (Hills) talent right now, his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, block, he is a complete package as a fullback, Harbaugh said at the time. I dont know where hes eating though. Hes finding somewhere else to eat other than our cafeteria because he keeps gaining weight.

Though Harbaughdidnt list a figure for Hill, who was listed at 263 pounds on last season's roster, offensive coordinator Tim Drevno said in April that Onwenu was 372 pounds. Onwenu, expected to challenge for a starting guard position,was listed at 350 pounds on last year's roster.
Harbaugh did not offer updated figures Friday.
21 day rule: Harbaugh has a pretty good idea what his incoming freshmen football players will be experiencing the next few weeks.
Adjusting to college academics and football workouts are the obvious challenges. Getting comfortable with living on their own is another entirely.
The process really begins being together on a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly basis, Harbaugh said Friday. And also to start the process of this being their home. Ive always felt that it takes 21 days to be acclimated to a new home. So in many cases, it started today. Take 21 days, circle that on the calendar three weeks out and thats when they should feel this is their new home.

Its a theory honed over his football life, as a son of a coach, a college and NFL player and coach himself, there havent been strong roots. His six years at Michigan as a teenager, then his five more as a student, are the longest he has lived anywhere. Given all the times he has moved four stops before college in Ann Arbor and then 11 since in his playing and coaching career Harbaugh has adjustment down to a science.
He knows what to tell players when they begin to have adjustment issues. Michigan had 11 freshmen arrive in January and, at some point during those 21 days, the staff talked to them about getting comfortable.
Whether they came at the midyear or whether they came yesterday or today, this is the very first time theyve come with mom and dad and then the car went home and they werent in it, Harbaugh said. And thats an attack on the nervous system that has never taken place before. Theyre in unchartered waters. So there is that process and giving them the tools, the tips, the advice what they should do next is what we did then and well be doing now.

Although a talented cricketer, he had been drawn to medicine, cardiology in particular, due in part to the death of his older brother at 13 from heart failure, caused by a virus.
Amit, who was two years older than me, had Downs syndrome and he taught me about compassion. His death was just bad luck, but it had a real impact on me.
Both of their parents were GPs; in fact his father later taught Dr Malhotra to cook, meaning he enjoyed a reputation at Edinburgh University where he began medical studies, as the guy who cooks the best chicken curry. He adds: But I didnt appreciate how impactful and important food was to health. And we didnt learn anything about it at medical school. I always ate dessert and chocolate.

Lose Weight Comments Off on Eating At The Exact Same Time Every Day Can Help You Lose Weight – Delish.com
If you aren't one for routine, you may want to rethink your day-to-day approach especially if you're prone to eating late dinners after a busy work day or skipping breakfast when you're running late. According to a new study, an erratic eating schedule could be totally messing with your health. In fact, irregular meals can lead to obesity, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes.
Two papers published in the Proceedings of the Nutrition Society found that adults who consume meals at the same time every day were less obese and had better cholesterol and insulin levels, even though they consumed more calories over all. Essentially, when you eat is just as important as what you eat. This research comes from a new category of health and nutrition called chrononutrition, which focuses on the link between your metabolism and circadian rhythms, Health.com reports.

"Eating inconsistently may affect our internal body clock," study author Gerda Pot, PhD (who's also a visiting lecturer in the Diabetes and Nutritional Sciences Division at King's College London) told the health publication. That's because your metabolic process including appetite, digestion, and the rate your body processes fat, sugar, and cholesterol follows a pattern that repeats every 24 hours. Once you disrupt that process by eating at random times every day, you're at risk for weight gain and other health risks.

If you want to implement a timely tactic, try setting a reminder or alarm on our phone, meal-planning and prepping on the weekends, making the next day's breakfast and lunch the night before, and setting up your coffee maker ahead of time.
Combine this with mindful eating when you cut out distractions and completely savor your food could double your success rate of dropping a few pounds, maintaining your weight, or just feeling healthier overall.

There are lots of reasons to lose weight. It helps lower blood pressure and reduces the risk of heart attack, diabetes, dementia and cancer.
Here's another one: It can help people with psoriasis.
The skin disease has long been associated with obesity. Weight gain tends to make it worse.
A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition last year confirms that losing weight may help reduce the symptoms of psoriasis.
"Psoriasis and obesity are both accompanied by low-grade systemic inflammation. This is the chronic inflammation that we're starting to hear more and more about in research and that's being tied to all kinds of health conditions, said Jamie Kopf, a senior editor for the UC Berkeley Wellness Letter.
"The theory is that pro-inflammatory effects that are related to being obese might worsen the severity of psoriases and that could account for why people who have psoriasis tend to get worse symptoms if they gain weight or if they are obese, Kopf explained.

Get religion, lose weight — sort of – National Catholic Reporter (blog)
Lose Weight Comments Off on Get religion, lose weight — sort of – National Catholic Reporter (blog)
I find it stupefying and absolutely fascinating that the things that inspire us most, that have changed the course of history and can potentially change our life's trajectory are immaterial, have no physicality and thus are weightless: ideas, souls, gifts of the Spirit or charisms. For that matter, integers are also weightless and immaterial. When you see integers manifest in a student loan balance, for example they, too, can affect one's life trajectory and spur you to take action.
This weightless thought popped into my mind as my wife and I were on North Avenue Beach on the shores of Lake Michigan in Chicago. With a 2-and-a-half-year old, and another child on the way in August, I've got the perfect "dad bod," so perhaps my mind was trying to off-set my excess weight by pondering that which has no weight, a heavy thought.
With Pentecost recently celebrated, I've been thinking about charisms, particularly gifts of the Holy Spirit given to the faithful for the common good and the benefit of the church. Religious congregations, through their founders, have a charism, a unique gift of the Spirit that orders the life, outlook and ministry of a congregation. Like any of the seven biblical gifts of the Spirit, these charisms are weightless. Sure, service, presence, hospitality, mercy, care for creation, these can all be manifest in each of us or through other materials things, but the gifts themselves cannot be quantified in ounces or liters.
The church uses the phrase "spiritual gift" when speaking of charisms. Gifts are unique in that they can be both material, think of birthday presents for children, and immaterial, think of time or affection. But regardless of type, for something to be a gift, it must be given freely (see: the life of Jesus Christ). And these spiritual gifts have borne much fruit, even for those of us who are not vowed or consecrated members of a secular or religious institute.
I suspect many of us in the church have experienced charisms and not even known it. If you've been educated by or been part of a Franciscan or Dominican parish, you'll get a flavor of what makes a Franciscan a Franciscan or a Dominican a Dominican, and at the bottom of this is their charism, their gift and concern in the world. Of course in America, the life of the church has been shaped by faithful of every rank immersed in the health care, social service, educational, and charitable ministries of women religious. As my wife and I walked from the Cenacle Retreat Center (Cenacle Sisters, founded by St. Therese Couderc) to the beach, we stopped by the National Shrine of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini (who founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus), and we remarked on the similarities and difference of Mother Cabrini and Mother Frances Xavier Warde, (Sisters of Mercy), a member of the first congregation of women religious to come to Chicago over 170 years ago.
Sure, there are people like our parents, historical figures and saints, our colleagues and our supervisors who also play a part in our life's trajectory, and they have a physical nature much like Cabrini, Warde or St. Therese Couderc who were mentioned above. But it was the gift, the charism, they were endowed with that was unique, purposeful; and that is what impelled their followers to engage in prayer, service and the works of mercy in their own way within the Gospel.
If you ask religious sisters or brothers why they joined their particular order (Mercy, Franciscan, Augustinian, Precious Blood, etc.), invariably you'll hear that the "mission" or "charism" of the founder and cheerful nature of the community is what drew them in. And from the charisms flow works of love, and works of love attract others, and then you are able to build up relationships, agencies, even institutions that feed, clothe, teach or heal tens of thousands of people for decades. And it all began with a gift, an inspiration that cost and weighed nothing.
With there being fewer women and men religious now, I also wonder what the future of those charisms might be in 10 or 20 years. Apart from their direct vocation ministries for new members, some orders are able to transmit their charisms to co-ministers, associates or parishioners of parishes they still staff. Some young adults who go to Catholic high schools or colleges sponsored by a congregation may not meet a priest, brother or sister or even adequately know the history. There are some young adults who join year-of-service organizations like Jesuit Volunteer Corps, Mercy Volunteer Corps, or Cap Corps. Those young adults are exposed to a part of a charism, but as mutually beneficial as these years are, relatively few go on to enter religious life, though I suspect many undergo significant discernment. And so, before I could come up with an answer on what will happen to charisms, the wind shifted, the shoreline cooled, and we left the beach.
Given the title, if you had hoped this article would have identified a pious diet to lose weight my apologies. While there is plenty of research, and from that, articles written on health benefits of religion and meditation, there is far less that I am aware of relating to those weightless religious charisms that have inspired the faithful of every rank and have been the underpinnings of ministries, decisions and lifestyles that have truly changed lives and the world. With the unofficial start to summer having come and gone, worry not about how beach-ready your body is but rather how you might readily find a place of rest and inspiration in the mystical body of Christ through learning of a charism. After all, if you're going to hit the beach, you might as well bring a good book with you, lest your mind drift like the sand thinking of the future of the church the future of us.

Women Skip Doctor Visits and Miss Their No. 1 Health Risk – NBCNews.com
Lose Weight Comments Off on Women Skip Doctor Visits and Miss Their No. 1 Health Risk – NBCNews.com
Too many American women are missing out on help fighting the single thing most likely to kill them heart disease, researchers said Thursday.
And one surprising reason women skip medical visits completely: theyre hoping to drop a few pounds first.
A new survey published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that that 45 percent of women questioned were not aware that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women. And while most had seen a physician or other medical provider in the past year, just 40 percent said they got a heart health assessment.
Of the 1,011 women surveyed, 63 percent admitted they sometimes put off medical visits and 45 percent said they canceled or postponed an appointment because they wanted to lose weight first, the team at Cedars Sinai Heart Institute said.
Tracy Solomon Clark of Gardena, California said she had done it in the past.
The goal was to lose a few pounds, Solomon Clark, a regular spokesperson for the American Heart Association, told NBC News.
And then I would go to the doctor.

It never occurred to her that her weight could be dangerous. Shes had bypass surgery to help her blood get by clogged arteries and stents placed to prop open other clogged blood vessels.
I thought this was an old man disease, Solomon Clark said. Surely it wouldnt happen to me.
Worse, many doctors dont seem to realize, either. Dr. Noel Bairey Merz of Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles and colleagues talked to 300 physicians and found only 39 percent of the primary care physicians said heart disease would be their top health concern for female patients.
The majority of physicians did not feel well-prepared to discuss or to manage heart health in women, Bairey Merz said.
Related: Here's How Stress Might Cause Heart Attacks
American Heart Association CEO Nancy Brown says its not surprising behavior.
Cardiovascular diseases cause one in three deaths among women each year more than all cancers combined, she said.
Eighty percent of heart disease and stroke is preventable, yet womens heart disease is underdiagnosed, under-researched and underfunded, Bairey Merz and colleagues wrote.

Early this month, former NBA star Charles Barkley said he was heading to a fat farm in San Antonio, Texas to lose weight.
The star of Atlanta-based TNTs Inside the NBA, said he has gotten lazy since his days on the court.
Listen, I am embarrassed about how fat I have become, said Barkley on television during the NBA Finals. Ive become lazy. Number one, Im not healthy. Im not healthy. Yall not going to see me. Ive got to come back for the [NBA] awards show. But Im taking the next six weeks to get my fat ass in shape.
WATCH: Shaq and Charles Barkley flame each other in hilarious videoclip
Barkley, 54, retired from the NBA in 2000.
He said he plans to eat healthy, work out and cut back on drinking in order to lose weight.
But we here at the AJC know how hard that is going to be for him.
Back in the mid-2000s, when Taurus Restaurant was still serving up American cuisine in Brookwood Village Shopping Center, me and a fellow AJC-er encountered Barkley and a friend while dining at the bar.
Barkley took one look at my friend and her meal then turned and said to his friend, I dont trust people who eat salads.
Hmm. Okay. Were both betting he has gotten over that personality quirk.
In 2011, Barkley became a celebrity spokesperson for Weight Watchers and he reportedly lost 27 pounds in 10 weeks. Back then he weighed 350 pounds.
He hasnt said what his current weight is or how much he plans to lose at the fat farm, but whatever he does, it is likely going to involve eating salad.
