“So what is the current state of snacking in America? A recent study released by The Hartman Group, a market research company, sought to find out. As described in an article on the study at DrugStoreNews.com,Americans eat an average of 2.3 snacks per day. Most snacking takes place at home; only 12% of people eat snacks at work, and 7% consume them while traveling from one place to another. The at-home nature of snacking may be explained by another result from the study: Most snacking takes place in the afternoon and evening hours.”

How’s Charlie Martin Doing on Week 10 of His Low-Carb Diet?
Great! Read the details at PJ Media or his FB page. In addition to being low-carb, he also characterized the diet as paleo. He has an ambitious exercise program that may not be necessary at this point. Exercise is more helpful for maintenance of weight loss. I’m sure that doing this in the public’s eye is helping him stick with it.

A Response to “Low-Carb Eating and Cardiovascular Risk Factors” in Obesity Reviews
Here’s a response to the article in my last post. W.S. Yancy, a well-known low-carb advocate, is one of the authors. So maybe the original article is critical of low-carb eating.

The current issue of Obesity Reviews has an article entitled “Low-carbohydrate diets and cardiovascular risk factors.” I haven’t read it but predict that the authors found lowered triglycerides, higher HDL cholesterol, unchanged or slightly higher LDL cholesterols, and lower blood pressures in those eating sufficiently low-carb. All these changes would tend to reduce risk of heart attack and cardiac death. The article’s not free but you can probably pick it up for $20-40 (USD).
