Your Weight-Loss Solution: Eat Less Sodium

Cardiologists are constantly asking their patients to consume less sodium. We know that taking in more sodium is associated with higher blood pressure. Eating less sodium will not only bring down blood pressure, but will also reduce symptoms of heart disease, like congestive heart failure. This is because sodium attracts water and carries it wherever it goes. If you consume lots of sodium, the volume of water in your bloodstream and tissues goes up, and this can put stress on your heart and blood vessels.

Following a lower-sodium diet therefore results in less fluid retention, which does impact your water weight. But the reason for having less sodium in your diet isn't to reduce your water weight. Obviously, water isn't fat – and sodium has no calories. So where's the benefit in the long term?

Let's think about where you get your sodium. Only about 11% of the sodium in a typical American diet comes from salt added to food during cooking, salt added at the table, or condiments like soy sauce or ketchup. But 77% comes from eating prepared or processed foods like canned vegetables, luncheon meats, frozen foods, and prepared soups. Even if a food doesn't taste terribly salty (bagels can have more than 400 milligrams of sodium), ingredients like monosodium glutamate (MSG), baking soda and baking powder, and nitrites should tip you off. You'll be surprised at the sodium content of many foods if you read the nutrition labels.

And it turns out that most processed foods tend to be lower in fiber and higher in calories than foods with naturally lower amounts of sodium – which also happen to be better foods for weight loss. Lowering your sodium intake to recommended limits will change how you shop for food. You'll move away from less healthy foods and toward fresh vegetables, frozen items with no added sugar and higher-quality prepared foods. It's not a coincidence that many of my patients who adopt a lower-sodium diet lose weight without that purpose in mind.
Take Action:
  • Update: DADT has been repealed. President Obama has kept his promise!
  • Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida! In conclusion, O'Reilly expressed out-right Hatrad of the LGBT Community.
  • Boycott Arizona the home of "hater" - U.S. Senator John McCain. Arizona's Hateful anti-Immigration Law - encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform (The Dream Act). Further, Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and Blocked Immigration reform!
  • Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost it's case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customers. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard? Perhaps TARGET would better understand the issue if they cared about David Kato - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay! That is because Uganda wants to kill gay people. Again, TARGET invested in a political candidate that would Kill the Gays!
  • End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
  • Pass ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
  • Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
  • BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating to anti-gay marriage groups.
  • BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
  • Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
  • NEW: "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC renew the clown's show after he pulled all such low-class shenanigans? Boycott NBC! Boycott advertisers of The Apprentice and Trump's other business's. Don't shop at any bullding with Donald Trump's name to include Trump Hotels, Casinos, Condo's, Offices, Shops! The Donald has expressed extreme Hatred towards gays and blacks with his birther remarks and anti-gay rhetoric. Remember how poorly Trump treated Rosie O'Donnel? Now we know why he did that! It was hate against a lesbian as we now know he is biget. Unforgiveable! Dump NBC because they re-newed Donald Trump's "The Apprentice"! NBC, Really? Update June 1, 2011: Trump now claims that Obama's long form, original birth certificate is fake. And NBC keeps this hater? NBC, You Kidding Us?

Obama Argues DOMA Is Unconstitutional In Karen Golinski Challenge
By On Top Magazine Staff - July 04, 2011
 
The Obama administration on Friday filed a brief in federal court that said the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is unconstitutional. The 1996 law bars federal agencies from recognizing the legal marriages of gay and lesbian couples.

Karen Golinski, a 9th U.S. Circuit of Appeals lawyer, sued the government after her employer denied health insurance coverage to her wife, Amy Cunninghis. The U.S. Office of Personnel (OPM) argues that DOMA blocks such benefits.
 
In its brief, however, the Justice Department, which announced earlier it would no longer defend the law in court, sided with Golinski.

"The official legislative record makes plain that DOMA Section 3 was motivated in large part by animus toward gay and lesbian individuals and their intimate relationships, and Congress identified no other interest that is materially advanced by Section 3," the DOJ wrote.

Speaking to the Associated Press, Tobias Barrington Wolff, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania, called the brief a "complete paradigm shift."

"This brief represents the concrete manifestation of a complete paradigm shift in the federal government's position on anti-gay discrimination and the constitutional rights of married same-sex couples," Wolff said.
 
Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay rights advocate, cheered the government's filing.

"The Administration's decision to call DOMA what it is - a law that serves no purpose but to single out a group of people for second-class status - was a watershed moment in the fight for LGBT equality. Now the federal government has taken that historic stand a step further and put real meat on the bones of why there is no basis for DOMA to stand. This step represents real leadership from the Obama administration and further hastens the day in which we will leave this odious law in the dustbin of history."
 
In its 31-page filing, the agency argued that sexual orientation is an "immutable characteristic" and that DOMA serves no legitimate policy interest.

"It's quite powerful to have the administration saying in a court filing that this kind of discrimination should be viewed suspiciously," Golinski's attorney Tara Borelli said.

Attorneys hired by the U.S. House of Representatives had asked the court to dismiss the case.
Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
