John Goodman talks about weight-loss - Monsters and Critics
John Goodman has opened up about his amazing weight-loss, revealing that at his heaviest, he was “pushing 400 [181.4kg]... Somewhere up around there.'
The actor teased that his weight-loss was “kind of like letting the gas out of the balloons up on 77th Street every Thanksgiving”.
He went on to explain how he had gained and then shed weight repeatedly during the time he was filming the hit TV show Roseanne.
“Every spring, I’d lose 60 pounds... and then I’d gain it all back and [then] some every year,” the 56-year-old explained on The Late Show.
Goodman told talkshow host David Letterman that he hopes to slim down even more.
“[I'm] getting a lot of exercise, I feel great... It's going to be an ongoing process for the rest of my life,' he said.

Weight Loss
Lose the Weight, Lower Your Health Risks
By Susan Brady
Exhaustion, high blood pressure, heart disease, high cholesterol and diabetes. These are the common problems we associate with excess weight and obesity. But did you know that the danger stretches far beyond these “usual suspects?” Many obese people also suffer from liver and gallbladder disease, sleep apnea, breathing problems, some types of cancer—and many women even experience infertility.
These are just the physical dangers. People who are overweight tend to suffer from significant and prolonged emotional distress, as well. Unfortunately, dieting is difficult, and entire industries have sprung up, promising easy shortcuts to help people lose the pounds from a pill. Such “shortcuts” have a fretful and fatal history, proving that the quick-fix diet pill is both a proven waste of money and a deadly deceit, pulled on innocent people who are desperately trying to make important life changes.
New Hope for Downtrodden Dieters
In order to lose weight, we must eat less. That’s really all there is to it. According to Dr. Alan Hirsch, (MD, FACP) a noted neurologist and psychiatrist, and developer of the Sensa Weight-Loss System, “What you eat is important, to be sure, but even more important is how much you eat. The problem is portion control. When you take in more calories than your body can use up, it turns to fat and excess weight.”
The deadly diet industry promotes “lose weight quick” pills that contain everything from stimulants to fat blockers to laxatives. They offer no help to make healthy lifestyle changes, and all too often, when dieters do lose weight with these products, they gain it back quickly because they slip into old, harmful habits.
A New, Safe Way to Lose Weight
Recognizing that for most people losing weight is a battle against their very nature, the Sensa Weight-Loss System is based on over 25 years of research, as a natural way to gradually, healthfully lose weight and stop over-eating. The program addresses the desire to overeat head on — literally — by using the sense of smell to activate an equally primal process in the brain that tells your body it’s time to stop eating.
Sensa is an all-natural, food-based product – not a pill - which is sprinkled on food. The Tastants, as Dr. Hirsch calls them, are undetectable by us, but are picked up by the brain. Without any harmful side-effects, the brain simply communicates to the body that the stomach is full.
No Drugs, No Dieting, No Problem!
Over time, Sensa users become accustom to feeling full faster, so they eat smaller portions. By the time they have met their weight-loss goals, they have already trained their body to stop overeating - all the while eating the foods they love. “Sensa works with your body’s natural urges, not against them,” Hirsch says, “so you can eat less without even thinking about it.”
Sensa is not intended to be a life-long program and in a clinical study, 1,436 participants lost an average of 30.5 pounds in six months! Most users find that they have also tamed their cravings and overeating in that time. But weight loss is personal and individual, so results will vary. That’s why the makers of the Sensa Weight-Loss System are offering a free trial of this amazing program, so users can get started right away and make a personal decision about how long they need the program.
Losing weight is difficult, but making the effort will be one of the healthiest decisions – emotionally and physically – that anyone will make in their lifetime.

'Biggest Loser': Quick-fix diet is no fix
Terry Foster / The Detroit News
Helen Phillips tried every quick-fix diet known to mankind.
She ate cabbage soup for a week. She went on the vanilla ice cream and hot dog diet, and she popped diet pills like candy, hoping for that miracle body. The results? She'd lose weight, then gain it back.
"I was a yo-yo dieter for 13 years," said Phillips of Sterling Heights.
Eventually Phillips swelled up to 257 pounds and ended up on the national television show "The Biggest Loser." Now she does things the right way. The days of the quick fix are over. She is now a motivational speaker for Henry Ford Hospital and is working on changing the nutritional menu for Warren Consolidated Schools.
We met this weekend during the Curtis Granderson celebrity basketball game. Phillips is 140 pounds lighter, lost 54.47 percent of her body weight -- and making it up and down the court was not the hardest thing she's done. Phillips has run a marathon, won "The Biggest Loser" and has agreed to join our cause in promoting 40 days and 40 nights.
We are entering the final third of 40 days and 40 nights. Phillips recognizes the importance of our program and others that encourage good, healthy living. Phillips is intrigued by the concept and has agreed to share some of her experiences during our next phase of good living. (Next month we will begin 40 days and 40 nights of exercise.)
"Quick fixes do not work," she said. "It makes things worse. It is quick fixes that really messes you up and creates havoc with your metabolism."
The message is we must do things the right way. Phillips' stint on "The Biggest Loser" was excessive. She worked on her body for six to eight hours a day.
But when she came home, reality hit. The same lifestyle that caused her to gain weight was still there. She needed to work and take care of her family, and did not have endless hours to work on losing weight. "Nothing else changed. I changed," she said. "And I needed to introduce it to my friends. I wanted to come in and be accessible to everybody. You can do this at home. You won't lose like you did on "Biggest Loser."
"When you gain weight your self esteem gets lower," Phillips said. "You get tired and exhausted and you are always looking for a quick fix. It is not a diet. It is a lifestyle change. You can lose 50 pounds with a quick fix. Then what? What happens after that?"
What happens? You normally gain the weight right back.

Fruit and Weight Loss
By Erez Angel
Did you know that grapefruits, melons, berries papayas and peach can actually help you lose weight? Fruit has zero cholesterol, serves as a good source of fiber and reduces blood pressure and the risk of cancer and type 2 diabetes.
Everybody wants a diet plan that lets them eat as much as they want without feeling hunger and reducing weight. The trick is to choose foods with fewer calories per gram weight of the food. The more water and fiber in food, the lower its energy density, and the more it helps you stay full while you reduce your weight.
So eating fruit is good for us and it helps us to loose weight and not feel hungry while dieting. But will any fruit do the job? What about canned fruit or dried fruit? Actually the best choice is fresh fruit, canned and dried fruit contain a much higher amount of calories.
The top fruits for weight loss include grapefruit, melons, berries, papayas and peach. Fruit serves as a great snack substitute instead of cakes, fries and doughnuts. Try berries grapes and apple slices include red and green grapes, pineapple chunks, strawberries, sliced bananas and pears in your daily diet and you will definitely loose your weight while improving your health. And do not forget fruit canned also serve as part of your breakfast lunch or dinner not only as snack substitute, try making a fruity dessert, eat it with yogurt and low-fat granola add fruit to your cereal or oatmeal and you will have a great low calorie meal.
Fruit can be a dieters best choice to reduce weight use it as a meal or a snack and enjoy natures gift for dieters fresh fruit...
