Hi! I'm 16, 5 foot 3 and about 110 pounds but I feel like my weight may be slowly going up. I lost about 20 pounds last year due to celiac disease and had to gain back 10. While gaining i ate about 2,300 calories a day with little exercise. Now I'm trying to maintain around 110 by eating 2,000-2,100 calories a day. I was really busy a few days ago and only managed 1,600 could this be why the scale went up? Should I continue to eat the same amount or wait more to see if I gain more?!

Annual Dental Cleaning May Be Enough for Some: Study
But people at risk of gum disease need more frequent appointments, researcher says
By Robert Preidt
HealthDay ReporterMONDAY, June 10 (HealthDay News) -- For many people, once-a-year dental cleaning may be enough to prevent gum disease that leads to tooth loss, according to a new study.
"Twice-yearly cleanings have been recommended for over 50 years without supporting evidence," study author William Giannobile, a professor of dentistry and biomedical engineering at the University of Michigan, said in a university news release.
But the results of this study "showed that one yearly cleaning is likely to be enough for patients with no risk factors," he said. "Patients with one or more risk factors, which represent over half of the population, should visit at least twice a year and likely more in some cases."
For the study, which was published online June 10 in the Journal of Dental Research, Giannobile and colleagues looked at data from more than 5,100 adults who visited the dentist regularly for 16 straight years, had no history of gum disease and received one or two cleanings each year.
The researchers examined the link between the frequency of teeth cleanings and long-term tooth loss in the participants, as well as three key gum disease risk factors: smoking, diabetes and genetics.
Two dental cleanings a year provided significant benefits to people with one or more of the three risk factors, while people with two or three of the risk factors may require more than two cleanings a year. But one cleaning per year appears sufficient for people with none of the risk factors, according to the study.
"The future of health care is personalized medicine," Giannobile said. "This study represents an important step toward making it a reality, and in a disease that is widespread, costly and preventable."
"We have long known that some individuals are at greater risk of [gum] disease, but tools haven't been available to adequately identify those at increased risk and prevent disease progression," he said.

Drug Company Reps Don't Tell Docs Enough About Side Effects: Survey
Many U.S., Canadian and French physicians prescribed the promoted meds anyway
By Robert Preidt
HealthDay ReporterWEDNESDAY, April 10 (HealthDay News) -- Drug company salespeople provide family doctors with little or no information about the harmful effects of medicines they are promoting, a new study says.
Despite this lack of knowledge, doctors are likely to start prescribing these drugs after visits from company representatives, according to the findings from questionnaires completed by American, Canadian and French doctors.
The study revealed that salespeople failed to provide any information about common or serious side effects or warn doctors about types of patients who should not use the medicine in 59 percent of the promotions.
"Laws in all three countries require sales representatives to provide information on harm as well as benefits," lead author Barbara Mintzes, of the University of British Columbia, said in a university news release. "But no one is monitoring these visits and there are next to no sanctions for misleading or inaccurate promotion."
Serious risks were mentioned in only 6 percent of the promotions, even though 57 percent of the medicines involved in these visits came with U.S. Food and Drug Administration "black box" or Health Canada boxed warnings, which are the strongest types of drug warnings in the two countries.
"We are very concerned that doctors and patients are left in the dark and patient safety may be compromised," Mintzes said.
Doctors in France were more likely to be told about the potential harmful effects of drugs during promotional visits than their counterparts in Canada and the United States. This may be due to tighter regulations for promotion of medicines in France, the researchers said.
The study was published online April 10 in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.

getting enough calories to preserve muscle?!
I've been eating 1500-1600 calories for a few weeks now, have lost weight but I don't want to lose any muscle I've gained from training. I'm on a low carb diet most days (no more than 50g) from mostly vegetables, protein is high and fats are about 49g. I'm wondering if this Is a sufficient enough eating plan to lose fat, not muscle?

Modest Cardiac Benefit From Chelation Therapy Not Enough to OK Use: Experts
New study shows slight effect, but arduous 'leaching' treatment has side effects, doctors say
By E.J. Mundell
HealthDay ReporterTUESDAY, March 26 (HealthDay News) -- Results from a major trial on controversial chelation therapy for patients with a history of heart attack find a modest benefit from the expensive treatment, but experts conclude there's no clear evidence supporting its use.
Still, "groups that advocate for chelation and groups that oppose chelation will both find comfort in the results," said one expert not connected to the study, Dr. Stephen Green, associate chairman in the department of cardiology at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, N.Y.
Chelation therapy involves dozens of arduous infusions conducted over a period of years, aimed at leaching excess metals from the body. Patients typically also receive high doses of vitamins and minerals. The therapy has been offered to heart patients by some clinics across the United States for decades, although its use for this purpose has been considered controversial and it has never received approval as a heart disease treatment from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The results of this latest study are published in the March 27 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. Findings from the same study were also presented earlier this month at the annual meeting of the American College of Cardiology (ACC) in San Francisco, and at last fall's annual meeting of the American Heart Association.
Speaking at the ACC meeting on March 10, the study's lead researcher said that the modest benefit noted in the study had not made him any more ready to recommend chelation therapy.
"These findings should stimulate further research, but are not by themselves sufficient to recommend the routine use of chelation therapy and high-dose vitamins in most patients," said Dr. Gervasio Lamas, chief of the Columbia University division of cardiology at Mount Sinai Medical Center, in Miami Beach, Fla.
The trial, which was funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, involved more than 1,700 patients from the United States and Canada who had suffered a previous heart attack. Most were already taking standard therapies such as daily aspirin, cholesterol-lowering statins or blood pressure medications.
In the new analysis of the data, the patients were divided into two groups: high-dose vitamin/mineral supplements plus chelation or "dummy" placebo infusions/supplements. Chelation therapy consisted of 40 three-hour sessions with the IV infusions spread over anywhere between 50 and 110 weeks. Doses of vitamins and minerals given were much higher than recommended daily intakes.
After an average follow-up of more than four and a half years, the team did see a slight benefit among the group who took the vitamins/minerals in combination with chelation therapy. Twenty-six percent of people in this group experienced some kind of cardiovascular event such as heart attack, stroke or hospitalization for angina (chest pain) -- less than the 30 percent seen among those who got placebo/placebo therapy only.

Enough with the Tights -- Bring on the Self-Tanner!
Oh my god you guys. Is it really spring today? Even though it SURE doesn't feel like it here in New York, I'm already dreaming of flirty little dresses that the warmer weather (and duh, the season) brings. But considering I also may have just booked a mystery vacay for my boyfriend and I, the idea of my pasty white legs seeing the light of day gives me nightmares. And even though I can't see all of y'alls sculpted gams, I'm pretty sure you guys could probably use these pale skin quick-fixes, too.
The Gradual Glow: I am a gigantic fan of all things St. Tropez and their Gradual Tan Plus Firming 4-in-1 is no exception. The stuff is majorly moisturizing, adds just a touch of gradual glow and firms up saggy spots. I use this stuff as lotion all or summer -- especially when I'm trying to stretch a spray. Need to amp up your facial glow? I've always adored the drugstore deal from Jergens. The label's Natural Glow Daily Facial Moisturizer packs in bennies with SPF 20 and is non-comedogenic, meaning you won't break out from the stuff either. Score.
The Spray Tan: There's this awesome, new spray tan from Spray di Sole that's super-natural looking and organic, too. My editor, Rachel, swears it was the best tan of her life -- and overheard some of Equinox Spa's staffers (where the treatment is available, at select locations) call it "liquid prozac" because it'll make you feel pretty freaking good. Plus, it's non-transferable, meaning it won't rub off on your glothes, and it's good for face and body. Needless to say, I've already booked my appointment.
The Essential Tool: Just add a few drops of water, and The Bronze Buffer will erase any weird streaks or spots that inevitably pop up. It's like an eraser for streaks. Best find of the year. Done.
The Last-Minute Fix: When I am running out the door and am feeling pastier than white glue, I love using Spray di Sole's Liquid Bronzer (I swear I'm not a Spray di Sole employee in disguise) -- a current on-set favorite from the makeup artists on Dancing With The Stars. Even though I'll inevitably use a ton less than, let's say, Brooke Burke-Charvet will, but I love the idea I've brushing on a liquid bronzer with an included kabuki brush, since powder bronzers makes me look like Tan Mom.
