MyNetDiary Releases Powerful, Easy and Elegant Diet App for iPad

The latest offering by MyNetDiary in weight loss software and services hit the iPad App Store’s “cyber shelves” and is proving a powerful tool for diet planning, management, and food and exercise tracking.

“The MyNetDiary app for iPad fully leverages the iPad’s unique capabilities,” says Sergey Oreshko, CEO of 4Technologies Corporation. “It is at once a simple, elegant and incredibly easy solution for keeping a food diary while helping people lose weight in the most natural way – by making better food choices and eating better.”

Featured on NPR’s Morning Edition and the USA TODAY Weight-Loss Challenge, MyNetDiary gives users an edge in their weight loss battles because, according to a study in The American Journal of Preventative Medicine, people who keep a daily food diary lose more than twice as much weight as those who do not record their food intake.

“The MyNetDiary iPad app is a one-stop diet solution,” adds Oreshko. “You don’t need diet pills, silly fads and dust-laden libraries of diet books to lose weight – you simply eat better. And our iPad app makes eating better much, much easier.”

The iPad’s large touchscreen coupled with MyNetDiary's unique search-as-you-type data entry is perfect for quick entry of foods and exercise - taking only a few taps. The iPad app automatically syncs to a member’s online account and those who also use MyNetDiary’s website, or existing iPhone or BlackBerry apps don’t have to worry about entering foods multiple times. Enter once and it is done.

Tens of thousands of people have already reached their diet goals naturally by using MyNetDiary and making better daily food choices.

One Doctor’s Cure for Childhood Obesity, Bringing About a Revolution in the Way Families Eat

Dr. Marta Katalenas, a renowned Round Rock, Texas, pediatrician, has launched a local crusade called “The Prescription for Healthy, Happy

Children–From Scratch,” to help families solve childhood obesity, weight and health issues at home. Her effort dovetails with that of the Let’s Move! campaign started by the First Lady Michelle Obama to resolve a U.S. health crisis affecting children nationwide.

According to First Lady Michelle Obama, childhood obesity rates in the U.S. have tripled over the past three decades. For the first time in history, American children may face a shorter lifespan than their parents because obesity can lead to many preventable diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer and asthma. Dr. Katalenas, founder of the Pediatric Center of Round Rock (http://www.pediatriccenterofroundrock.com), has seen an increase in these medical problems for her young patients and has answered the call of the First Lady to help in her campaign. She is taking her own crusade of educating parents out of her practice--right into the community of Round Rock, Austin and surrounding metropolitan areas.

Childhood overweight issues and obesity are serious health problems facing families today and many parents feel overwhelmed. They share with Dr. Katalenas their frustration about conflicting or partial information and the fact that they don’t know how to prepare healthy food. “For as long as we have been aware of the obesity epidemic in our country, we have been told what not to eat,” said Dr. Katalenas. “Different experts throughout the years have given advice about calorie counting, about reducing the fat content of the diet and about what we should avoid,” says Dr. Katalenas.

She feels that our fast-paced society created quick meals and snacking on-the-go of high calorie, low nutrient foods which leads her to a solution present in what we already know. Having grown up in Spain, the doctor has incorporated what has been shown to be successful from her European culture in her “prescription” solution for a cure of the epidemic. A recent study of over 20,000 people of Mediterranean origin concluded a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease and obesity, and increased longevity. The study could not pinpoint a single ingredient in the diet as responsible for the beneficial effects of the diet. “It is because there is no single ingredient, but a life-style and eating habits combination that is possible to learn and reproduce in our society,” said the doctor. “They don’t do it because they know better; it is their culture to enjoy home-cooked meals with their family.”

Major Medical Study Shows Plant-Based Protein the Key to Weight Loss

Every year it seems a new diet fad makes headlines – Scarsdale, Atkins, South Beach and Zone diets to

name a few. While they may work for some people, it can be hard to keep the weight off. One thing experts know for sure is that protein (http://www.LivingFuel.com) plays an important role in both healthy eating and weight loss . Research shared in The New England Journal of Medicine shows that people who fill up specifically on plant protein versus animal protein can lose substantially more weight than those who do not.

In addition, researchers with the journal Nutritional Reviews found that the average body weight for both male and female vegetarians is three to 20 percent lower than that of meat eaters.

First for Women magazine recently examined firsthand the powerful role complete plant protein from brown rice and yellow pea plays in detoxification (http://www.LivingFuel.com), weight loss and weight management. Magazine editors interviewed several women with weight struggles who were ready to do an “ultra fat flush” involving this type of protein. For two weeks, women drank a plant-protein smoothie for breakfast and lunch. They followed that with lean protein and unlimited steamed green veggies and salad for dinner. As reported, women successfully lost belly fat, shed baby weight and overcame certain metabolic issues.

Protein is vital to good health, but not all protein is created equally. While protein from brown rice and yellow pea has a higher pH and is thought to be easier to digest than protein from animal sources, simply mixing two or more plant sources does not yield an ideal amino acids profile. LivingFuel LivingProtein (http://www.livingfuel.com) is the only plant protein that takes the next step of optimizing the blend with specific vegetarian amino acids.

Magazine staff also taste tested several of these popular plant protein powders. They narrowed down the field to three and selected LivingProtein as a top protein source, writing that “Tasters loved the smooth, earthy powder. And it has probiotics for gut health and immunity.”

LivingProtein (http://www.livingfuel.com/Living-Protein.aspx) is the only protein tested that is rich in antioxidants with a Total ORACfn value of 18,900 per serving, providing broad-spectrum protection against free radicals and reactive oxygen species that attack the human body. Each serving of LivingProtein contains 21 grams of Organic Brown Rice Protein and Non-GMO Yellow Pea Protein combined with specific vegetarian amino acids to give it an amino acids profile similar to egg but from plant sources. LivingProtein is rich in protein, fiber (six grams of soluble fiber per serving), prebiotics and microencapsulated probiotics. It is the most complete and unrivaled product in its category.
