Raspberry ketone is a natural phenolic compound that is the primary aroma compound of red raspberries. It is used in perfumery, in cosmetics, and as a food additive to impart a fruity odor. This compound regulates adiponectin, a protein used by the body to regulate metabolism.

In studies on rats, raspberry ketones helped prevent the onset of obesity in mice that were on a high fat diet. They also prevented an increase in blood triglyceride following high fat meals. That translates into raspberry ketones not only helping prevent the onset of obesity, but also preventing fat storage as well.

Research has shown that raspberry ketones can help people too in their weight-loss efforts, especially when paired with regular exercise and a well-balanced diet of healthy and whole foods.

Raspberry ketone causes the fat within human cells to get broken up more effectively, helping the body burn fat faster. The recommended dose is at least 100mg per day. To get the same benefit from the whole fruit, one would have to consume 90 pounds of raspberries.

Natural raspberry ketones are simply an extract of red raspberries. They've been used as a food and drink additive for decades. So if you can eat raspberries, you should have no problem with real raspberry ketones.

People from all over the world have started to report back raspberry ketones benefits.

Raspberry Ketone Diet: Get A Free Bottle Of Raspberry Ketones To Lose Weight Fast

A year and a half ago, Colli Bounds decided to "just do it." She started eating less, began to exercise and lost 138 pounds. Lesley Young Special to The Commercial Appeal

Colli Bounds' decision to lose weight may have come suddenly, but her method was one of slow deliberation.

"It was in April of 2011. I don't know why I started; I just one day didn't eat as much," Bounds, 34, of Memphis, said. "That led to the next day, which led to the next. It was a day-by-day process, much like any addiction."

After a few months of eating less, Bounds and a co-worker, Sonia Taylor, decided they would try their luck at the gym, and the two Church Health Center employees used the organization's Wellness Center.

"One day after work, we just got on the elliptical for 30 minutes," Bounds said. "I was dying by the time I got out of there. We both realized how bad of shape we were in."

Not giving in, Bounds used her colleague's determination to maintain her own drive.

"I'd be looking at her and she at me, and if the other one was still breathing, we'd keep going," she said.

Having a workout buddy not only kept Bounds on track, but it also inspired her to bump up her workout.

"I looked over one day, and she was jogging," Bounds said. "I'm a very competitive person, and we were in this together, so I was like, 'If you run, I'm going to run.' I started jogging very slowly," Bounds said.

Bounds experienced a few roadblocks along the way, including an exercise-induced asthma diagnosis and knee and ankle problems, but she managed to get back on track and maintain her workout and lose more than 100 pounds.

Beth Johnston knew she needed to lose weight, but finding time to exercise and prepare healthy meals was difficult.

A single mother of two who works two jobs, Johnston was constantly on the go.

"I'd be going from one job to the other, and many times I would just grab a pizza for me and the kids," said Johnston, 43.

Her weight gradually increased over the years. By January, Johnston weighed more than 245 pounds. The extra weight was taking a toll on the Conneautville resident.

"I was tired a lot and my blood-sugar and cholesterol levels were higher than they should have been," said Johnston, who works in Erie at the Consultants in Cardiovascular Diseases office at Saint Vincent Health Center. "I have high blood pressure and I also have heart disease, diabetes and cancer in my family, so I worried about my health."

A story in Saint Vincent's newsletter grabbed Johnston's attention.

It promoted Drop 10 in 10, a 10-week weight-loss and education program sponsored by Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Determined to do something about her weight, Johnston and a co-worker joined Drop 10 in 10.

"Each class is a combination of education and exercise," said Ashlee Rzyczycki, HealthyU coordinator and class instructor at Saint Vincent. "We learn how to read nutrition labels, how to prepare healthy meals, and we make sure we do some physical activity in each class."

Johnston started to make changes to her everyday routine.

But have you ever thought that you are simply making the same mistakes over and over again? If this scenario sounds familiar, then look no further we have narrowed down the top 10 dieting blunders that may be holding you back ...

Missing meals A major problem for many people who commonly believe that by missing a meal they are actually reducing their calorific intake. This is often counterproductive; as you may become so hungry that at your next meal, you overindulge.

Skipping carbohydrates at meal times As you think that bread and potatoes are fattening is a big mistake.Starchy foods such as bread, rice, pasta and potatoes are filling foods and should not be avoided the portion size is what you have to watch.

The belief that you have to eat less when you want to lose weight A full plate is not possible when youre on a diet right? Wrong! Many of us believe that we should be cutting back on food to lose weight whereas we really should be eating more. The most important foods that we should be filling up on are vegetables so fill your plate with them!

Not increasing your exercise levels Upping your exercise levels will maximise your loss of fat and minimise your loss of lean muscle. It will also help you maintain your weight long-term and prevent weight re-gain. Try to do around 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity at least four times a week.

"All or nothing" This approach is the downfall of many dont make the mistake of thinking you should never have a treat. A pizza is okay, there is nothing wrong with having a pizza just make sure that you dont follow it with a large helping of chocolate fudge cake and ice cream!

Make realistic changes to your diet that you can stick to Dieting severely is not advisable in the long term; it may seem boring, but making a few small changes that you can stick to is far more likely to result in a weight loss that can be maintained over the long term.

Buying foods such as chips and chocolate for the kidscould be holding you back. Having these types of foods in the house can be a temptation; you are more likely to reach for the chocolate if it is to hand, whereas if you had to make the effort to go to the shops you probably wouldnt bother!

Being influenced by others: Are there saboteurs in your house?Are you being held back by your friends or family? It may be uncomfortable to address these issues as family members or friends may not want you to change think about talking through your plans with them.

Is your routine holding you back?Do you pass Starbucks every day and cant resist their carrot or chocolate fudge cake? If you were to take another route to work would that help you curb your habit of nipping in to buy something for that mid-morning snack?

Top 10 dieting blunders: Common mistakes of losing weight

Leading nutritionist Dr John Mansfield claims that food sensitivity is the reason many people fail to lose weight. The bodyevolution.com website welcomes the new book but is keeping an open mind.

London, UK (PRWEB) October 13, 2012

One of the most successful weight loss secrets is to find out if you are sensitive to any ordinary, everyday foods, Dr Mansfield said. Surprisingly it is common foods that are eaten everyday such as milk, eggs and corn and wheat based products that cause the most problems. He goes on to say that most people are completely unaware that they may be sensitive to certain foods. As they are eaten every day the symptoms they cause such as headaches and fatigue are accepted as part of life rather than being the result of food sensitivity.

A fairly simple explanation of Mansfields theory is that eating certain foods causes an allergic type reaction and interferes with a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. 'When this mechanism is working well, your body weight remains constant, despite quite widely varying calorie consumption from day to day,' said Dr Mansfield. However constant eating of foods that we may be sensitive to interrupts this process making it hard to lose weight.

So rather than the regularly recommended calorie controlled diet and weight loss program Dr Mansfield instead proposes an elimination diet. He claims that dieters can eat as much as they like of low sensitivity foods such as fish, turkey, lentils and vegetables and still be able to lose weight. Foods that are eliminated can be gradually re-introduced to the diet with the exception of the ones that are identified as causing problems.

The weight loss experts at bodyevolution.com say that while calorie controlled diets are not effective for some people it will be hard to lose weight on any diet where you are encouraged to eat as much as you want. There is a simple relationship between the amount of food consumed each day, level of activity and weight that holds true for the majority of people. Anyone who has tried and had success with Six Secrets of Successful Weight Loss is invited to visit the site and share their story.

Is Food Sensitivity to Blame for Expanding Waistlines in the UK?

NEWBRIDGE, Scotland, Oct. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Nigella Lawson has been showing her Twitter followers that eating smaller portions but still enjoying real food can be a good way for people to lose weight.

The TV chef, who is known for her curvy figure, has recently slimmed down from a size 16 to a size 12 and it seems portion control could be the secret to her success. She regularly tweets pictures of her meals to her 227,041 followers and although she tucks into steak, fried egg sandwiches and pizza, she has small portions to prevent her from gaining weight.

One picture shows a steak with Bearnaise sauce, accompanied by the caption "Grabbing lunch out between interviews. You have no idea how much I need this steak!" However, Nigella exercised portion control by only having four chips with her meat. Another tweet shows a lunch consisting of an avocado drizzled with lemon juice.

Before she started losing weight last year, Nigella stated in an interview: "'I love food and I love cooking so therefore I never deprive myself." Therefore it seems as though portion control is just the way you can have your cake and eat it... just less of it!

Caron Leckie, Nutritionist from Diet Chef said, 'Bigger portion sizes are a major contributor to being overweight or obese and can also be the demise of our efforts to try and lose weight. It's very common for us to know 'what' to eat but putting that into practise and getting the portions right can be the biggest challenge'

Diet Chef is a calorie and portion-controlled meal plan that's delivered direct to your door, making dieting easy. Following the Diet Chef plan, means you can enjoy losing weight, teaching yourself portion control all while still enjoying your favourite foods.

Dieters are not deprived of their favourite foods, they can still tuck into dishes such as lasagne, curries, macaroni cheese, cottage pie and pasta carbonara making it easier and more enjoyable to lose weight.

Clinical studies show people who followed Diet Chef where their meals were portion controlled and they received a diet food delivery to their home were three times more likely to be successful than if they prepared their own meals. Furthermore, over 60 % of those on Diet Chef lost five per cent or more of their body weight compared to only 22% of those who went it alone.

Diet Chef carefully counts the calories of all meals so dieters on the plan will be averaging less than 1,200 calories per day. The daily menu allows you to get delicious home delivered food, as well as offering a tasty and varied, healthy balanced plan encouraging dieters to lose weight at a healthy pace.

Those on the diet looking to check their own progress can do so using the weight loss calculator as well as sharing their weight loss success stories via the website or Diet Chef social media channels.

Nigella Lawson shows how smaller portions can lead to weight loss

Greg Dantzler's first inkling that he needed to improve his physical condition was when he had bedtime prayers with his two children.

"I'd get up off my knees and I felt like I was 60," he said. He's 36. "It would take me a couple of minutes to walk that off."

The next was when his doctor threatened to start him on blood pressure medicine as his pressure spiked at times to nearly 150.

"I knew I had to do something; I wasn't ready to take medicine," he said.

He was 212 pounds and 5 feet 8 inches. His energy and activity levels were low, he said.

Around the first of this year, he looked around for a remedy and found a program called Lose to Win. The program is based on the concept that people can lose weight more efficiently when there's accountability.

"The best way to lose weight is to become part of a formal program in which you schedule regular weigh-ins," wrote Dr. Mario Morales, director of the SSM Weight-Loss Institute, for the program's materials. "Having that support helps you remain focused and committed to the behavioral changes that lead to real weight loss."

"I'm a competitive person and that was attractive," Dantzler said.

He signed up for the online program. He was among 1,200 people competing for prizes to be awarded to those who lost the highest percentage of their body weight.

The program didn't give him any methods to lose weight, although some classes were offered during the 12-week program.

Good news for people who do Weight Watchers: a study pitting the commercial weight-loss program against professionally directed weight loss treatments found that dieters stuck with Weight Watchers longer and were more likely to lose weight.

Researchers led by Angela Marinilli Pinto, an assistant professor of psychology at Baruch College in New York City, randomly assigned 141 overweight or obese men and women to one of three groups: a behavioral weight-loss treatment led by a health professional; Weight Watchers, whose weight-loss groups are led by peer counselors; or a hybrid program that started with 12 weeks of behavioral weight loss treatment, followed by 36 weeks of Weight Watchers. All programs lasted a total of 48 weeks.

People in all three groups experienced significant weight loss: it didnt matter whether a health professional was running the treatment or not. On average, Weight Watchers users lost just over 13 lbs., compared with just under 12 lbs. for those who lasted all 48 weeks in the professionally led group, and nearly 8 lbs. for people in the combination treatment.

But the Weight Watchers group fared best overall. Nearly 37% of those doing Weight Watchers lost at least 10% of their starting weight, compared with 11% of those in the professionally led group and 15% of those in the hybrid group. The researchers said they were surprised, since they assumed the hybrid treatment would lead to the most success.

Further, the authors found, Weight Watchers members attended more meetings and were more likely to stick with the study to the end than people in the other two groups.

The fact that a program like Weight Watchers can deliver clinically effective results is good news for overweight or obese Americans who may not have access to behavioral weight loss programs led by health care professionals, the authors noted. With almost 70% of American adults classified as overweight or obese, there is a need to provide practical treatment solutions that are effective, accessible, and affordable, said Pinto in a statement.

Many behavioral weight loss programs are run in academic medical facilities and can cost as much as $35 a week. Weight Watchers, on the other hand, costs only about $10 a week and the program is ubiquitous. Its the largest commercial weight loss program in the U.S., with approximately 1.3 million members who spend more than $5 billion on Weight Watchers products and services yearly and attend more than 45,000 meetings each week. In other words, its easy for dieters to find.

The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health and published in the journal Obesity.

Study: Weight Watchers Works Better than Clinical Weight Loss Programs

By Kathleen Doheny HealthDay Reporter Latest Diet & Weight Management News

TUESDAY, Oct. 9 (HealthDay News) -- New research suggests that if you want to lose weight, don't try to do it alone.

"Group-based weight-loss treatment produced weight loss, whether delivered by a professional or peer counselor," said study author Angela Marinilli Pinto, assistant professor of psychology at Baruch College of the City University of New York. "When people are in a group with others on the same journey, they feel there is that element of, 'OK, this worked for him or her, perhaps it will work for me. Perhaps I can give it a try.'"

The research was published Oct. 9 in the journal Obesity.

Pinto and her team randomly assigned 141 overweight or obese men and women to one of three groups.

One group got 48 weeks of behavioral weight-loss treatment from a health professional.

A second group participated for 48 weeks in Weight Watchers, where the meetings are led by members who have achieved and maintained a healthy goal weight.

A third group got combined treatment. They first had 12 weeks of behavioral weight-loss treatment from a health professional, and then transitioned to 36 weeks of Weight Watchers participation.

Pinto said she chose Weight Watchers because it is the largest commercial program in the United States. It is also oriented to behavior change and included information on modifying the diet and increasing physical activity to lose weight and maintain the loss.

Pinto's team was testing the hypothesis that the combination approach would produce a bigger weight loss than going to Weight Watchers alone. Starting with the professionally trained leaders, she thought, would be a good jump start to the weight-loss program.
