New Cultural Diet Website and Podcast Shows for African Americans

Greenville, NC (PRWEB) September 12, 2006

Recognizing the void in the diet, food and health fitness industries for African Americans, the New Black Cultural Diet website (http://www.newblackculturaldiet) featuring special Podcast Shows has been officially launched to help African Americans learn, share stories, and develop new cultural strategies related to losing weight, maintaining weight loss, exercise, body image, food selections, food preparation and general good health practices. Based upon the overwhelming interest in his new book, "Food Choice and Obesity in Black America: Creating a New Cultural Diet," Medical Anthropologist Eric J. Bailey created this new forum so that African Americans and all who share similar issues can have a place on the internet committed to creating a new healthier lifestyle.

This New Black Cultural Diet website featuring special Podcast Shows is designed around the basic concept of "culture" and its impact on those who are trying to maintain a healthy regimen or trying to lose weight. We realize that the New Black Cultural Diet website and Podcast Shows touches on a number of sensitive issues within the African American community. Indeed, we do understand the breadth of this sensitive cultural topic and that is why we have designed this website and Podcast Shows in a respectful and professional manner. Come and visit the New Black Cultural Diet website (http://www.newblackculturaldiet.com) and join in the Podcast Shows, video clips, web polls, surveys, cooking and physical fitness tips so that all of us can be participants in changing how we view health, dieting, exercise, overweight, and most importantly creating a new healthier lifestyle.

Study Shows People Lose Twice the Weight on New Lifestyle Diet Compared to Other Diet Programs

Concord, CA (PRWEB) July 5, 2010

After conducting a 7 year study with over 1,853 adults, it was determined that New Lifestyle Diet clients achieved twice the weight loss compared to other diet programs – the average weight loss was 22.3 pounds compared to 9 pounds on traditional diet and behavior modification programs.

"When you combine behavior modification with the use of high quality diet shakes and meal replacements, the results far exceed what most people accomplish with traditional diet and behavior programs," said Matthew Johnson, PhDc, of the Exercise and Physiology and Metabolism Laboratory of California Berkeley.

The average age of the participants in the study was 40 years and was made up of 92% females and 8% males.

According to Johnson, "The weight loss results were twice the amount achieved on traditional diet and behavioral programs. Additionally, the study showed the level of success that people can achieve when they go on a diet program that not only focuses on weight loss, but also the reasons behind their eating."

Matthew Johnson, PhDc is a graduate from the University of California Berkeley with a degree in Nutrition Sciences and Biochemistry and is currently pursuing his Doctorate in the Exercise Physiology and Metabolism Laboratory at the University of California Berkeley.
