Diet Doc hCG Diet & Weight Loss Introduces Lowest Priced hCG Diet in USA

Diet Doc hCG Diet & Weight Loss is the only modern-day diet that is less money than most over-the-counter diets and is capable of shaving 25-30 pounds per month!

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 07, 2012

Diet Doc hCG Diet & Weight Loss recently conducted a survey of other leading hCG diet clinics across the USA and found that Diet Doc is the lowest priced (prescription), medical, weight loss program in the USA!
Diet Doc hCG Diet provides medically, supervised weight loss nationwide and is the only modern-day hCG diet in the USA capable of shaving 30 pounds per month reports Julie Wright, president of Diet Doc.
Many doctors only offer the original 1950's Dr. Simeons HCG diet which promises dieters they will lose 1 pound per day if they consume 500 calories per day while taking injections of human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg), a human hormone made by chorionic cells in the fetal part of the placenta during pregnancy reports Wright.
The reason other doctors are offering an extremely outdated version of the hCG diet is because there is no where to obtain this specialized training unless the doctor spends a few years studying the original hCG diet protocol and updating to present day medical knowledge on how hormones interact with weight gain and weight loss.
Diet Doc is an all-inclusive weight loss program which offers a specially formulated weight loss shake that helps burn fat and reduce cravings for carbohydrates. The shake is consumed 4x/day along with eating food purchased from the grocery store (unlimited vegetables, chicken/lean beef or fish and fruit). Diet Doc also formulated a weight loss oil which is flavorless, but used to make salad dressing and for cooking. The oil burns fat within 30 minutes of consuming reports Wright. Dieters receive one month of shake, weight loss oil, unlimited doctor and weight loss nurse consultations/support, and one month of injection or tablet (both are prescription) hCG and are given a large cookbook and doctor written weight loss workbook on the Diet Doc hCG Diet Program.
###
*These weight reduction treatments include oral hCG or an injection of hCG–a drug, which has not been approved by the food and drug administration as safe and effective in the treatment of obesity or weight control. There is no substantial evidence that hCG increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or "normal" distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restrictive diets. Results may vary and cannot be guaranteed. Medical supervision and compliance with our program is required.

Manchester Chiropractor Provides Ideal Protein Weight Loss Program

MANCHESTER, Mo., May 6, 2012 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Manchester chiropractor Dr. Brad Mawer, of Morningstar Spinal Correction Center, now provides the Ideal Protein weight loss program to his patients. According to Dr. Mawer, he decided to start offering the diet and nutrition program because of all the research pointing toward obesity as a major factor in a long list of diseases and painful conditions. Dr. Mawer's center provides nutritional counseling, support and an assortment of the program's gourmet food products. After researching various nutrition programs, he felt this protein program effectively addressed the metabolic processes behind obesity in order to help people lose weight over the long term.

Dr. Mawer says that the Ideal Protein program has helped many of his Manchester weight loss patients reach their goals. "This program is working for my patients because it isn't just another diet; it was medically developed to address metabolic disorders common in the Western Hemisphere from the overabundance of refined carbs in our diets. Dr. Tran Tien Chanh developed this program over 25 years ago and it's still going strong, helping people burn excess fat while maintaining the muscle mass critical to maintaining a healthy body structure." Dr. Mawer says that even patients who had struggled to lose weight for years are finally losing weight and keeping it off on this program.

Dr. Mawer says that helping people lose weight is one of his major goals. He cites a growing library of scientific literature demonstrating how obesity worsens everything from diabetes and heart disease to arthritis and back pain. He explains that he sees obesity's negative effects in patients almost daily. He says that excess weight puts stress on a person's posture, causing the spine to shift out of alignment, which then leads to pinched nerves in the spine. He provides spinal adjustments to correct the misalignment, but until the weight comes off, the extra weight threatens to keep stressing the spine. The key, he says, is to help the patient lose weight.

According to Dr. Mawer, people who want to lose weight are often more successful on a medical program with doctor supervision. He says that because each of his patients undergoes a complete exam and nutritional counseling before beginning the diet, they know what they need to do to succeed. The extra support from the doctor and the gourmet foods also provide the incentive they need to stay focused on their goals.

Dr. Mawer says that helping people feel better about themselves and their health is the biggest benefit of the nutritional counseling program. "True health is a state of body and mind. When people experience how much better they feel physically and mentally after losing weight, they want to stick with it. Their risk factors for disease, their pain levels; all of those things decrease and they feel energized. I love seeing that."

Dr. Mawer has been practicing in Missouri for the past 8 years. His website is located at http://www.morningstarscc.com .

Women Who Lost Over 100 Pounds Reveal Clever Weight-Loss Tricks That Actually Worked

Today show nutrition expert, Joy Bauer, has come out with a new book, The Joy Fit Club: Cookbook, Diet Plan & Inspiration, where she profiles 30 formerly obese people who have each lost over 100 pounds and transformed their lives. In the book, these “biggest losers” share some of their best and most clever tricks that they used to shed so many pounds–and we gotta say, some of them are quite ingenious. Here are a few that may help you, too:
Trick #1: Pull out a bag of tricks (Our favorite)
Kim, who lost 110 pounds, fights off cravings for junk food with a bag that is filled with cards listing fun, motivational activities. This includes everything “read a book” and “treat myself to a manicure” to “call a friend” and “exercise for 10 minutes.” The deal is, when an urge for cookies or candy strikes, Kim has to finish the activity she randomly selected. By the time she’s done, her desire to eat has usually passed.
At first glance, this “bag of tricks” may sound corny, but it’s actually a great idea. Most cravings for junk food are emotional (you’re bored, tired, angry, etc.) and will pass if you divert your attention to something more positive. The key here is to hold yourself accountable for actually doing the activity you select.
Trick #2: Exercise during commercials
Simply getting off the couch during every commercial break helped Sheri drop 141 pounds and become half of her former self. When watching TV, she made a deal with herself to get up during each commercial break and squeeze in some crunches, squats, lunges or even some time just walking in place. This could add up to burning 100 calories during an hour-long program–and if you watch an average of two hours of TV a day, that could mean an extra 1,400 calories a week.
This two-minute break also works well for push-ups and jump roping. Who cares what the neighbors think! Leave your blinds open and maybe you can motivate them too.
Trick #3: Create slim-downed versions of your favorite foods.
Who says that pizza is a no-no when you’re trying to lose weight? One woman who lost a whopping 300 pounds says she created a healthier version simply by using a whole-grain tortilla or flatbread for the base and then topping it with low-fat cheese and tons of fresh veggies.
Another woman who lost 109 pounds jazzed up her salads with a healthy, homemade dressing that was low in fat and calories. She uses flavored vinegar (like raspberry) and goes light on the oil to trim even more calories. She also adds nonfat plain Greek yogurt to the vinaigrette for a creamier version that helps to keep her satisfied longer.
These examples just go to show that weight loss is still all about diet and exercise–and some fun, creative tricks to keep things interesting.

The Key To Permanent Weight Loss Could Be Detox Diets—But Not The Kind You Think

 

What if the secret to weight loss wasn’t really a secret at all? According to Christine Gerbstadt, author of Doctor’s Detox Diet, The Ultimate Weight Loss Prescription, everything we need to slim down is right in front of us–no special fasting diets, lemonade drinks or meal replacement bars. Instead, she says the key is to choose whole foods that work together to support our organs. Specifically our liver, kidneys, skin, intestines and lymphatics. When we optimize these organs through our diet choices, they remove more toxins and waste, fight inflammation, and speed-up metabolism to burn existing fat and keep it off.
To find out more about how to best support permanent weight loss, we talked with Gerbstadt who says that it starts–and continues–with a good detox.
What exactly is detoxing and cleansing? Are they two different things?
The scientific definition of detox is not the way we use it. The technical term really just means to remove drugs or alcohol or other toxic substances from the body. Or it can mean emptying the colon for a procedure like a colonoscopy. But the way we use it now is really just removing the body of impurities. We’re not going to remove things like mercury because that gets into our bones, but we can remove things like cholesterol, fat and refined sugar. It’s basically removing impurities from our diet and from our bodies. Cleansing is the same, but people think about cleaning up their lifestyle a lot more than just what you eat or drink here. Cleansing can include adding exercise, avoiding pollution, avoiding UV rays, etc.
So is a detox diet a short-term diet or a long-term lifestyle?
The detox diets that have become popular with celebrities where you can drop 10 pounds in 10 days are focused on starvation, restriction, fasts and eliminating almost everything from your diet. Those kinds of diets are nothing more than fad diets and definitely only work in the short term. In fact, with those you only lose water weight because it takes three weeks to start losing fat. Eating a detox diet needs to be an on-going long-term, lifestyle commitment. You don’t just do it once a month or once a year and then eat whatever you want the rest of the time, thinking that a few days of fasting is going to clean you out. You’ll still have high cholesterol, diabetes and excess pounds.
So what do you recommend eating during a detox diet?
It’s using mostly whole foods and focusing on foods in their natural states, like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, beans, etc. People can choose to be vegetarian or not, and if they don’t eat meat, that means including more legumes. Basically, eating a detox diet means you’re eating healthy diet most of the time to support your organs, release impurities and keep them out of your body.
How is your detox diet different than other whole foods diets?
The focus of mine is on the five detox organs–your skin, intestines, kidney, liver and lymphatic system. You need to make a meal plan that is going to include foods to support each organ system. For example, I recommend a lot of herbs and spices because they are really potent sources of nutrients that help to support the organs; basil is really good for your kidneys and liver. Once you start eating more whole foods, they become very familiar and you start including this variety into your everyday diet and not wanting the processed foods anymore.
So when you say a detox diet, you basically mean a detox lifestyle, right?
Yes, this is an ongoing way of eating. Not a short-term fix.
How does this detox lifestyle help you lose weight?

When you get all of these organs to work, your metabolism will be at its peak and that’s where the weight loss comes in. You’re not keeping food or fat that your body doesn’t need. I recommend about 1,600 calories a day for a woman to keep your metabolism up, depending on the amount of physical activity each day. Most people should be able to maintain or lose weight based on that.
Weight loss is going to be the result of a calorie deficiency or activity increase. The reason a detox diet is better is because you are eating to support all of your organ systems to maintain your body at its best. Even if you ate these same calories with fast food, you may still lose weight, but you’re not going to be as healthy and your organs are not going to be working as well.
How much weight can people typically lose here?
You can lose 100 pounds, but it might take 18 months. I had one client who lost 37 pounds in 17 weeks, so a little over two pounds a week. She went from eating 2-3 fast food meals and 4-6 sodas a day with no physical activity, to eating like this–more fruits, vegetables, beans, etc. and started walking 5 days a week for 25 minutes. She was very dedicated and the results were very important to her. The type of foods changed, the calories came down a little and she started exercising. In general, if people eat a whole foods diet, they can expect to lose about one pound a week on average.
Is a lot of that just water weight at first?
That’s a great question. The first week can be the biggest weight loss and it can include the extra fluid you’re holding on to. Even if you just start with little changes to your diet like eating “real” foods versus other traditional meal replacement foods, you’re probably going to notice a difference and get mentally prepared for a new lifestyle of eating.
Can this type of diet work for anyone who wants to lose weight?
It really can work for anybody. If you have diabetes or a serious medical condition, you may need to modify and get a registered dietician to help you out. But eating this way can help stabilize your blood sugar and blood pressure. I have had clients go off their diabetic medications after starting to eat like this and maintaining this lifestyle.
What’s your biggest no-no for food?
Salt. When I go into a client’s home, I hide the salt shaker. That whole bloating and puffiness that people feel when they want to loosen their belts after a meal can be alleviated by taking away the salt and using herbs and spices instead. This is one of the best things you can do.
What is your number one go-to food for weight-loss?
That would definitely be raw vegetables, especially dark leafy greens. They have fiber, water, crunch and you can do a lot with them. You can eat them alone or add them into a recipe. So instead of just having a turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread, it’s so much more fun to that turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread with baby spinach, arugula and other vegetables added in. It looks a lot prettier and has a lot more nutrients like vitamin C and A. Most people aren’t getting enough vegetables in their diet each day so adding more raw vegetables this way is an easy way to do it.

Stunning Advancements in Weight Loss Surgery

LOS ANGELES, April 24, 2012 -- /PRNewswire/ -- Bariatric surgery is not just about losing weight. The most advanced procedures available today, from gastric sleeve surgery to gastric bypass and the Lap Band, offer dramatic weight loss results, but another benefit that gets less attention is the potential effect on certain co-morbidities like hypertension and diabetes. Certain procedures have been shown to have a strong impact on these health conditions, in many cases even causing complete remission, and eliminating the need for medication. In other words, bariatric surgery offers more than a marked improvement in your quality of life; it can literally save your life.
At Dr. Feiz & Associates, a leading surgical center for weight loss in Los Angeles, experienced medical practitioners like Dr. Michael Feiz have been observing the effects of bariatric surgery on these co-morbidities for years. Those professional observations have now also been borne out by recent studies. Dr. Feiz has earned a particularly strong and widespread reputation because he is one of a very few surgeons qualified to employ what is called the STARR Treatment. With this specialized technique, he is able to perform procedures like sleeve gastrectomy and the Lap Band in Beverly Hills with ONLY A SINGLE INCISION. Also known as micro sleeve surgery and micro Lap Band surgery, respectively, these state-of-the-art operations offer a faster recovery, less post-operative discomfort, and virtually no scarring (usually patients are left with a scar no larger in diameter than a freckle or a grain of rice).
The implications of the STARR Treatment are staggering. Today, top physicians like Dr. Feiz are making surgical weight loss less invasive and safer than ever before. At the same time, Dr. Feiz is a responsible doctor who cautions prospective patients that these procedures do not represent a silver bullet. Patients must be committed to continued weight loss after the surgery, with healthy diet and exercise. Fortunately, the team at Dr. Feiz & Associates stays involved long after the operation is over, working with patients to shed more weight and keep off those pounds.

The four key words for Permanent Weight Loss

Posted on 24. Apr, 2012 by Libby in Health

Weight loss occurs in the body but weight loss begins in the brains. You will never achieve permanent weight loss if the will is not there. This is the reason that worldwide billions are spent on the physical side to lose weight, but still more and more adults and children suffer from obesity .
Achieving and maintaining your goal weight is also a mental thing. You can spend money on diets and gyms if you want, but you will not have a permanent weight loss achieved if you do not mentally have the right attitude to lose weight and keep weight.
The four key words for Permanent Weight Loss:
Planning
Losing weight is not something that just happens. You must plan in advance every part of your way to lose weight. Find the ways you want to lose weight that best suit you like the choice of healthy food, how you want to move, etc. Make a clear plan of how you spend your goal weight to reach this weight and want to keep. Once you have a clear plan, do your utmost to carry out this planning.
Patience
Remember that it has lasted a long time before you have come to your current weight. Expect certainly not that quickly your goal weight you will also achieve and maintain. By your lifestyle drastically change you lose weight fairly quickly but chances are that you do not keep going for long. To change your lifestyle will take a little longer before you will reach your goal weight but this way is far more likely that you do this target weight remains.
Perseverance
You’re a man and no man is perfect. If you want to lose weight then you will also go through trial and error. Be aware of this and accept this too. This will take you less difficult in the difficult periods. With the right attitude and perseverance, you will lose weight and your weight control.
Positive thinking
If you’re not 100% believe in order to reach your goal weight and maintain, you will never achieve this. Simple as that. You must be optimistic to achieve your goal. If you think positive and believe in yourself you can really achieve and maintain your goal weight.

Website Places Healthy Wager On Weight Loss

If you're planning on losing weight, you can finally put your money where your mouth is. NY1's Kafi Drexel filed the following report.Judging by the footage, it's pretty clear the likes of Mike Sisco, Will "The Champ" Millender, and Joel "The Cannon" Podelsky are forces to be reckoned with in the world of competitive eating.
"I've done 10 latkes in a minute. I've done 10 hard boiled eggs in a minute. I did Jamaican beef patties I've done eight of them in four-and-a-half minutes," says Podelsky.

"Fifty-seven dumplings in two minutes. Fifty-one mac and cheese balls in eight minutes. Sixteen slices of pizza in 12 minutes," says Millender.
But weighing in at more than 250 to to 400 pounds each, the non-stop eating was seeping into their daily lives. So now the main record they are trying to break is who can lose the most weight through the new online site, dietbet.com.
Dietbet.com gives groups the chance to compete to lose weight. Whoever participates can decide how much everyone bets. Whoever loses four percent of their body weight within a month splits the winnings.

"For most people it evens out to about two pounds a week. We think that is a healthy amount of weight to be losing each week. There's no advantage to losing more than that," says Dietbet.com Vice President of Strategic Alliances Tina Basle.
So if you've got money on the line are you more likely to meet your goals? For that, NY1 checked in with registered dietician and new author of "Slim, Calm, Sexy Diet" Kerri Glassman, to see if it is worth the wager.
"This website gives people accountability," Glassman says. "It gives them support and also there's the real hard-core goal of it all, the competition aspect. And the goal is actually pretty reasonable."
Gender may also play a role. Another website, HealthyWage.com, which pays people to lose weight found men are four times more successful than women at weight loss when cash is at stake.
In all, the pro-eaters competing on dietbet.com lost 79 pounds and walked away with about $200 in winnings each. They plan to keep the challenge going by upping the ante instead of their waistlines
