I just found a story at People Magazine that Baron Davis, the 6′ 3″ L.A. Clippers guard, is on Jenny Craig.

What a strange story that a weight loss program that is built for normal people, and maybe even some people that get no exercise, is now being use by an NBA player in the off season to get in shape.

Inspired by current spokeswoman Latifah, Davis, 29, started the plan at the beginning of August to get in shape for basketball season.

“I know Queen Latifah, and when I saw her out there using it, I thought maybe I could use it, too, to work on my health and fitness goals and inspire others,” he tells PEOPLE.

During the NBA off-season, Davis let his fitness slide. “In the off-season, it’s kind of hard to maintain day-to-day,” he says. “I don’t want to get up and cook. And when I pig out, I’m the type of person where there’s no limit to what I can do.” Read the rest of this entry »

LA Weight Loss, Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig are all organizations that can help you with your weight loss goals. they are all popular diet programs and for years women have turned to them in order to shed the extra flab. All three of these diet programs have gotten praise from millions of customers, who have successfully lost weight with their help, but as with anything else, the critics were also very forthcoming in criticizing these diet plans for making money off the back of fat people - some even going as far as labeling them scams.

The most important thing to remember is that the LA Weight Loss, Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig weight loss programs are not for everybody. It is important for you to understand what YOU want before you even attempt to join any weight loss organization. This will save you a lot of heartache later.

Why are you so eager to join LA Weight Loss, Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig Weight Loss programs? Is it simply to lose a few pounds?

If you are already aware of this simple rule of weight loss, why is it that you want to join any of the big three? Read the rest of this entry »

Often things take a bit of time to take affect. Sometimes you do all the right things but see no results and change tactics, don’t do that ride it out instead.

When people start a new diet they get excited do all the right things and then in the first week they lose 5 pounds or so and are very excited with the results, then the next week comes and the only lose a pound or nothing at all and discouragement sets in.

You hear a lot about yoyo dieting, gaining and losing weight only to gain it back again and often this will happen because people become discouraged and don’t let the changes that they are making to take affect and change to a different type of diet. Although our bodies are complex and in many ways can change very very quickly, losing weight does not tend to be one of these things

If you eat all of the right foods and get the exercise that you need and then at the end of the week you have not lost any weight is it becasue the diet and exercise are not working? probably not. Often when you make big changes your body will start a bit of a backlash. You will retain water, your metabolism will slow down in fear of starvation or your body will just not have caught up with the changes. Often the diet and exercise changes that you make will not show up for a couple or even three weeks. Many of the bog diet companies know this. Jenny Craig only has you weigh in once a week as does Weight Watchers and Weight Watchers cautions people not to weigh themselves at all during the week. As you have probably noticed beofre your weight will fluctuate all over the place during a single day so any changes that you see are very hard to predict from week to week even.

Stay on a course doing the right things and give yourself at least a few months to see if you are tending in the right direction. Do not just take the scale into account but also look at how you feel, how your health is, how your energy is and how well you are sleeping. What you want out of any diet and exercise program is to improve all areas of your life, not just the bathroom scale
