Type of diet doesn’t matter when it comes to weight loss

Media Outlet: 

Philadelphia Inquirer

Experts say the kind of weight loss diet you choose doesn’t matter. Pick a diet you can stick to, including liquid diets or prepared meals. If you follow the rules, the results are all about the same. Gary Foster, director of Temple's Center for Obesity Research and Education, agrees. He thinks diet gurus have scared people off with too much information. "We tell people so much stuff, it's paralyzing. Calories drive weight loss," he said.

KYW News Radio

Temple’s Fox School of Business students have an assignment - creating an e-portfolio - in one of their core courses that could have a big impact on their job prospects. An e-portfolio is designed to be more dynamic and open than a LinkedIn profile. “What we want our students to do is take control of their online identity since they are going to be evaluated by potential employers,” said Munir Mandviwalla, chair of the management information systems.

Weighing the benefits and risks of new obesity drug

Media Outlet: 

Philadelphia Inquirer, NBC 10

If approved, Qnexa would be the first new diet drug in 13 years. In trials, it helped patients lose about 10 percent of their body weight. The FDA has had concerns about potential side effects of the drug. Others cite the significant health risks of obesity and health benefits of losing weight. "Obviously, no drug is without side effects or risks. . . . Sometimes the consequences of obesity aren't taken seriously enough," said Gary Foster, director of Temple's Center for Obesity Research and Education.
