For example, chronic inflammation can […]
According to a new study published in The Journal of Nutrition percent fat-free mass loss, following diet-induced weight loss, is not a significant predictor of weight regain at 1-year in men and women with obesity.

Eating too much saturated and trans fat can increase your cholesterol and put you at risk for heart disease. The Centers for […]
