weight gain
A new scientific study has found that drinking a glass of red wine could actually reduce your chance of piling on the pounds.
The research shows enjoying the odd glass of Merlot may be less of a guilty pleasure and have an additional benefit.
Scientists have revealed a compound found in red wine can help control body fat.
The substance, called piceatannol, delays the generation of young fat cells and prevents them from growing into mature fat cells.
The compound blocks insulin’s ability to activate genes that carry out further stages of fat cell formation.

The agent found in wine is also thought to protect the body from heart and neurodegenerative diseases and cancer.
The groundbreaking research was carried out at Purdue University, Indiana, USA.
Lead researcher Dr. Kee-Hong Kim said: “In the presence of piceatannol you can see delay or complete inhibition of young fat cells.
“Piceatannol alters the timing of gene expressions, gene functions and insulin action during adipogenesis – the process in which young fat cells become mature fat cells.”
Dr. Kee-Hong Kim, assistant professor of food science at the university, added: “We are now testing our idea using animal model obesity to see if it has the same beneficial functions.
“We need to work on improving the stability and solubility of piceatannol to create a biological effect.”
The compound is similar in structure to resveratrol and is also found in grapes, blueberries and passion fruit.
The research was published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
In the latest issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, Khloe Kardashian confided that her mom-ager Kris Jenner sometimes calls her “fat”.
Khloe Kardashian, 27, admits that she was angry, but she dealt with the hurtful words because she had to.
The reality star rationalized to the glossy woman’s magazine: “Listen, my mom believes in us more than we believe in ourselves. But she is also our manager and trying to protect our brand.
“She’ll say, <<Oh, you’re a little too fat right now>>. If she were just my manager, I’d have fired her right then.
“You can’t talk to me like that.”
Khloe Kardashian confided that her mom-ager Kris Jenner sometimes calls her “fat”
During a 2011 episode of her E! reality show, Khloe and Lamar, Khloe Kardashian was on the receiving end of some harsh words from the family’s matriarch.
Kris Jenner, 56, accused her child: “You don’t care and it’s very, very upsetting to me because I’ve worked so hard at creating what I think is a great deal for you girls and you’re not pulling your end of the weight.”
Though she’s singing a different tune now, Khloe Kardashian snapped on the show.
“To tell me I’m ruining a whole brand because of my weight gain makes me feel like s–t. Get over yourself. You’re such a f–king raging lunatic and you’re so evil.
“I’m too f–king fat, too f–king fat. Do you want me to get pregnant? Do you want me to lose weight?
“You tell me you want me to have a baby every second, but I can’t be on some crazy diet. I just don’t get what you want out of me!”
Khloe Kardashian just as frankly talks about her sexual relationship with NBA star husband Lamar Odom.
The reality star shows off an ample cleavage in the top despite not appearing to wearing a bra underneath the top which boasts sheer paneling.
Khloe Kardashian told the magazine how she spices up her relationship with her husband Lamar Odom.
She was asked if she would cook or do a striptease to do something nice for the basketball player.
Khloe Kardashian said: “Both- together! I cook for him naked.”
She also spoke out about the scrutiny and gossip about her and her husband having children.
Khloe Kardashian explained: “People make me feel like I have a problem because I haven’t had a kid yet.”
“We were thinking we had to know when I was ovulating. But seriously? That took the fun out of everything.”
But while she hasn’t fallen pregnant yet Khloe Kardashian is confident it will happen and added: “Lamar and I definitely want kids, and when it happens for us, it will happen.”
Last week Khloe Kardashian also shared snaps of herself and her husband to her Celebuzz page.
She posted: “Hi my loves! Just wanted to post a few pics that I’ve tweeted of me and my hubby recently. It’s been over two years and I still feel like the luckiest girl in the world every single day! There’s no greater feeling than being in love :)”
On Wednesday Khloe Kardashian took Twitter to slam reports that she and Lamar Odom were breaking up after a magazine reported their marriage was over.
The celebrity chef Jamie Oliver was not so happy when he was questioned about his own diet in Australia this week.
Jamie Oliver, 36, bristled when asked by a female reporter if he had gained a few pounds recently and called her a “b****”.
When he was questioned on whether he had filled out a bit, Jamie Oliver replied: “I don’t know. I am very healthy.
“Are you from a tabloid? Thank you for noticing, you b****.”
It wasn’t clear whether or not the father-of-four was joking during the outburst.
However, Jamie Oliver admitted he tried to watch his weight and worked out twice a week, but said there was room for improvement.
Jamie Oliver explained: “I do my best. Working in the food business is quite hard when someone is constantly asking you to try things.
“I eat fresh. I train twice a week. I could definitely do better, but I am trying to do my best like most people when they hit 30.”

Jamie Oliver’ spokeswoman Kimberly Yorio insisted her client’s weight remained the same.
Kimberly Yorio told Australia’s ABC News: “I can say for a fact he hasn’t gained any weight. They were bad pictures.”
At the Q&A session on responsible eating on Tuesday, Jamie Oliver admitted he was not thinking straight after “a few drinks” the night before.
The celebrity chef said: “I went out last night and had a few drinks after a very long day, (and) my brain did not quite understand that question.”
So they may go some way to explain his unguarded and candid response.
Jamie Oliver is in Australia to launch his second Ministry of Food, in partnership with The Victorian Government and the Good Foundation, to attack state-wide obesity.
The new scheme will see AU$5 million put towards helping teach cooking techniques and nutrition to participants in a larger attempt to attack obesity as a whole in the country.
Scientists from Finland have located a certain area of the brain that could be responsible for weight gain and obesity.
The central nervous system helps to control food intake and it has long been known that the brain influences how and what we eat.
However, the latest finding suggest overweight individuals’ brains could be wired in such a way that they “constantly generate signals that promote eating” even when they don’t require food.
Participants to the study were exposed to images of food while their brain activity was monitored using functional MRI scans.
The results showed that morbidly obese subjects had a significantly higher glucose metabolism in the striatal region of the brain than lean participants.
This region is responsible for rewarding emotions and desires.

These findings are yet another step towards understanding how brain responses vary in people with weight problems.
Lead researcher Professor Lauri Nummenmaa from the University of Turku said: “The results suggest that obese individuals’ brains might constantly generate signals that promote eating even when the body would not require additional energy uptake.”
It is now hoped that the discovery will help develop more effective obesity intervention strategies.
Prof. Lauri Nummenmaa, who worked with a team from Aalto University, added: “The results have major implications on the current models of obesity, but also on development of pharmacological and psychological treatments of obesity.”
A previous study from Cambridge University found leptin, one of the key hormones responsible for reducing hunger and increasing the feeling of fullness, also controls fondness for food.
Patients with a rare genetic disorder resulting in a complete lack of leptin receptors in the brain were found to eat excessively and develop severe obesity.
When they were treated with the hormone, scientists found their hunger was reduced, and they gradually lost weight.
Although obesity typically results simply from excessive calorie intake, it is still unclear why some people are prone to overeating and gaining weight.
The results of the recent study appeared in the journal PLoS ONE.
Obesity is when a person is carrying too much body fat for their height and gender and a person is considered obese if they have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more.
Countless overweight men and women have starved themselves for a short period until they quickly lost the fight for weight loss.
The truth is that you can shed some weight simply as a result of eating less calories. However, very many people will explain to you that is a challenge to do as well as maintain. There will most certainly be too many difficult behavior changes regarding eating considerably less, or even half-starving your self. Positive along with healthy lifestyle and eating improvements will be much simpler to accomplish with a different approach. The basic policy is to do a reduced amount over time and little by little make the desired shift.
Weight Loss Target
Excessive caloric intake causes weight gain in nearly everyone. A small minority cannot put on pounds irrespective of how much they eat. Nevertheless you have to be aware that your body needs calories to work at a good level. You can get by with a bare minumum daily caloric intake, but the likelihood is very good that you would feel exhausted, sluggish, hungry and miserable. Consequently the initial step would be to begin decreasing foods that are not helping your weight difficulty. You’ll find it much easier to lessen, initially, than attempt to completely eliminate them.
Naturally you should make a parallel effort to begin with eating healthier foods on a daily basis to achieve and maintain weight loss.
Yet again, you do not need to make a significant change here, or even a total lifestyle makeover. For people who have tried implementing total change and were unsuccessful, then this may be an agreeable strategy for you. Effortlessly begin by making modest changes, and then keeping them on a daily basis for a period of time. As soon as you feel comfortable with that magnitude of change, then you can make another modification in your daily diet. On top of that, you may consider introducing some kind of physical exercise to your weekly routine.
It becomes very beneficial if you take a look at the quality of calories and fats you take in each day. Empty calories are most likely the worst, and a good illustration of that are all kinds of sugar. Then, one needs fat in your diet, but it is the sort of fat that makes a significant difference. Ready-made foods and fast foods are great examples of the incorrect kinds of fats for you. When you notice that you are eating these fattening foods far too much, then slowly begin reducing them. The key point here is to make some form of positive change that will assist you.
Weight Loss - Eat Healthy Vegetables
It’s essential to make these small changes an integral part of your new behaviors and routines. This is going to of course take time, but that is the trade-off any time you make smaller modifications. On the other hand, this method will certainly work for some people who cannot make drastic changes. Just don’t forget that you need to keep striving forward and cutting out increasingly more fattening foods. You certainly will, at some point, make a reasonable change so you begin to see greater success. There isn’t anything more inspiring than results in any endeavor. This works for weight loss too.
