What Scientists Know about Low-Calorie Diets, but Your Doctor Never Told You

I have a confession to make - This week I hid my TV in the closet. Why? Because for several years I've been avoiding the TV completely - but at the start of the Iraqi conflict I got hooked on the news. Then I started watching those re-runs that come after the news. Pretty soon I was watching American Idol every night.

So what? Well, I started gaining weight, that's what. So my TV is back in the closet until I get over this need to check in on the daily lives of imaginary people.

Speaking of the connection between gaining weight and watching TV, I just found a very interesting tidbit on the website of the National Institute on Media and the Family: "Television viewing lowers metabolism. The metabolism rate while watching TV is actually lower than a resting metabolism rate."

Their article on the causes of obesity and diabetes in children, and the media connection, is something everyone should read. You can find it at http://www.mediaandthefamily.org/newsletter/v16.shtml
