VENICE, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- If you've got personality and a desire to make a change in your weight "Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition" might be able to make a star out of you.
The show attracted dozens of reality TV hopefuls at the Boys and Girls Club in Venice on Saturday for the first run of auditions.
Casting directors conducted group interviews across the country to find the next set of individuals needing drastic changes.
"We even had a gentleman today who's almost 700 pounds here today, so unlike any other weight loss show in the reality world, this is definitely in a league of its own," said supervising casting director Brandon Nickens. "So it's an interesting day and people are excited about the opportunity to be on the show and work with Chris and get the weight off them."
It's not too late to audition, you can submit yourself online.

'Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition' holds auditions in Venice

Every day you have to navigate a toxic nutritional landscape. You have to hunt and gather in a food desert. You have to survive the American supermarket and dodge the dangers of industrial food. The good news is that if you follow 10 simple rules you can eat safely for life.
Think of them as shortcuts or tricks to use when shopping or eating. If you just do these things and nothing else, you will automatically be eating real, fresh food that will prevent, treat and even reverse most of the chronic diseases that drain our energy, stress our families and deplete our economy. You don't even have to understand anything about nutrition. Just follow these goof-proof rules for getting healthy, losing weight and feeling great.
Ideally have only food without labels in your kitchen or foods that don't come in a box, a package or a can. There are labeled foods that are great, like sardines, artichoke hearts, or roasted red peppers, but you have to be very smart in reading the labels. There are two things to look for: the ingredient list and the nutrition facts. Check out my special report on "How to Read Labels" for more information.
Where is the primary ingredient on the list? If the real food is at the end of the list and the sugar or salt is at the beginning, beware. The most abundant ingredient is listed first and the others are listed in descending order by weight. Be conscious, too, of ingredients that may not be on the list; some ingredients may be exempt from labels. This is often true if the food is in a very small package, if it has been prepared in the store, or if it has been made by a small manufacturer. Beware of these foods.
If a food has a label it should have fewer than five ingredients. If it has more than five ingredients, throw it out. Also beware of food with health claims on the label. They are usually bad for you -- think "sports beverages." I recently saw a bag of deep-fried potato chips with the health claims "gluten-free, organic, no artificial ingredients, no sugar" and with fewer than five ingredients listed. Sounds great, right? But remember, cola is 100 percent fat-free and that doesn't make it a health food. If sugar (by any name, including organic cane juice, honey, agave, maple syrup, cane syrup, or molasses) is on the label, throw it out. There may be up to 33 teaspoons of sugar in the average bottle of ketchup. Same goes for white rice and white flour, which act just like sugar in the body. If you have diabesity -- the spectrum of metabolic imbalances starting with just a little belly fat, leading all the way to diabetes -- you can't easily handle any flour, even whole-grain. Throw it out. Throw out any food with high-fructose corn syrup on the label. It is a super sweet liquid sugar that takes no energy for the body to process. Some high-fructose corn syrup also contains mercury as a by-product of the manufacturing process. Many liquid calories, such as sodas, juices, and "sports" drinks contain this metabolic poison. It always signals low quality or processed food. Throw out any food with the word hydrogenated on the label. This is an indicator of trans fats, vegetable oils converted through a chemical process into margarine or shortening. They are good for keeping cookies on the shelf for long periods of time without going stale, but these fats have been proven to cause heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. New York City and most European counties have banned trans fats, and you should, too. Throw out any highly-refined cooking oils such as corn, soy, etc. (I explain which oils to buy in Week 1 of the program in my book The Blood Sugar Solution). Also avoid toxic fats and fried foods. Throw out any food with ingredients you can't recognize, pronounce, or that are in Latin. Throw out any foods with preservatives, additives, coloring or dyes, "natural flavorings," or flavor enhancers such as MSG (monosodium glutamate). Throw out food with artificial sweeteners of all kinds (aspartame, Splenda, sucralose, and sugar alcohols -- any word that ends with "ol" like xylitol, sorbitol). They make you hungrier, slow your metabolism, give you bad gas, and make you store belly fat. If it came from the earth or a farmer's field, not a food chemist's lab, it's safe to eat. As Michael Pollan says, if it was grown on a plant, not made in a plant, then you can keep it in your kitchen. If it is something your great grandmother wouldn't recognize as food, throw it out (like a "lunchable" or go-gurt"). Stay away from "food-like substances."
That's it -- just 10 simple goof-proof rules for staying healthy for life. It is a simple recipe for staying out of trouble and automatically leads you to a real whole foods diet. And the side effect will be weight loss, energy, reduction in the need for medication and saving our nation from the tsunami of chronic disease and Pharmageddon!
When you make these simple choices you will not only improve your health, and your family's health, but you will create a "wellness spring" that will shift the demand in the marketplace. You will not only take back your health, but also help America take back its health. You vote three times a day with your fork and it impacts our health, how we grow food, energy consumption, climate change and environmental degradation. You have more power than you think. Use it!
My personal hope is that together we can create a national conversation about a real, practical solution for the prevention, treatment, and reversal of our obesity, diabetes and chronic disease epidemic.
Now I'd like to hear from you:

Mark Hyman, MD: 10 Rules to Eat Safely for Life (and What to Remove From Your Kitchen)
Posted: February 5, 2012 at 5:27 am
The stories are grandiose. They border insanity. They’re unhealthy, and in some cases, so extreme that they’re tragic.
Cutting weight is as much a part of wrestling as shoulder pads are to football, though the practice has been taken to lengths that make football’s Oklahoma drill look like a day catching butterflies.
There are stories of wrestling coaches making their team run and not letting them stop until someone throws up. There are stories of slight wrestlers with weight to gain drinking three cartons of egg nog in a single day.
And there is the story of Billy Saylor, who, as a 19-year-old freshman at Campbell University in 1997, set up a stationary bike in a 92-degree sauna before the night of his first collegiate match in an attempt to qualify for his weight class. (Using any room with a temperature above 79 degrees has since been outlawed by the NCAA.)
Saylor wore a rubber suit and hammered away on the bike for more than two hours, leading to extreme dehydration, and eventually death by rhabdomyolysis – a breakdown of the muscle fibers that can lead to kidney trauma, and in Saylor’s case, kidney failure.
It was reported that his temperature reached 108 degrees.
Saylor was one of three collegiate wrestlers to die that year.
Then there are the much more common tales of wrestlers refusing to eat or wearing multiple layers of clothing during exercise (or both) to make weight.
In wrestling, making weight is of the utmost?importance, and those who don’t make the cut are looked at as ill-prepared.
“I feel like if I come in overweight to a weigh-in, that it makes it look like I didn’t care enough,” Southern Nash wrestler Ozzy Palacios said. “Wrestling is more mindset than anything else. If you’re going to make weight, you can’t have the mindset that you can eat whatever you want and not prepare for a match.”
Palacios said that he has seen other wrestlers starve themselves, force themselves to throw up or wear many heavy layers of clothing to sweat away the excess weight needed to make their wieght class.
“I’ve seen a couple guys do that, but I definitely don’t consider it a good idea,” Palacios said. “But there are guys that try it.”
Understanding the mindset of a wrestler shedding weight requires that one understand the psychology of the sport.
Because of the grueling, one-on-one nature of wrestling, many associated with the sport believe losing is tougher to stomach than in other sports. There’s one person to blame in a loss, and unlike a timed sport such as swimming or track, there is no congratulations for second place.
The most successful wrestlers often are the most dedicated, passionate of the bunch, and passion can sometimes blur the line between tough and crazy.
“Wrestling parents and the kids in general, you have to be passionate if you’re going to be good at it,” 14th-year Southern Nash coach Eddie Coble said. “If the kids have put in the work and the time, and they lose, it’s just devastating to them.”
Of course, such extremism is not encouraged by most coaches, nor is it healthy, especially for adolescent males.
More growth takes place during adolescence than at any point besides the first year of life.
As such, most teenage males need somewhere around 3,000 calories per day – more than any other point during one’s life – to satisfy their bodies’ need to grow.
Guidelines for Adolescent Nutrition Services, a 2005 book published by the University of Minnesota, notes that nutritional needs during the peak of the adolescent growth spurt can be twice as high than the average of the rest of the period.
High school wrestlers who choose to cut weight by not eating are depriving their bodies of energy when they need it the most.
“The adolescent growth spurt is sensitive to energy and nutrient deprivation,” the book notes. “Chronically low energy intakes can lead to delayed puberty or growth retardation.”
The problem, Coble said, is not that coaches preach that their wrestlers should not eat, but rather the kids don’t understand how to prepare for matches.
“Kids think you can eat, eat, eat, then not eat for two or three days and be healthy, but you can’t do that to your body,” said Coble, who is also a health teacher. “You have to eat and keep your metabolism going so you’re still burning calories. If you stop eating, your metabolism slows and you’re not burning calories. It’s hard for them to understand that.”
Losing weight is a simple formula. Consuming fewer calories than you burn will lead to shedding weight.
To many teenagers, the affinity for junk food surpasses the desire to make weight. (Guidelines for Adolescent Nutrition Services found that eight percent of adolescents’ caloric intake was from soft drinks alone.)
Coble even had a few wrestlers eating hot dogs before a match.
“I can’t go home and feed them. They have to eat the proper stuff, and we talk about that all the time,” Coble said. “If the kids would learn how to eat and be nutritious, it really wouldn’t be an issue ever.”
Helping Coble and other coaches is a program through the National Wrestling Coaches’ Association’s website called the Optimal Performance Calculator, a program initiated shortly after the three college wrestlers died in the late 90s.
At the beginning of the season, a hydration test and a skin fold test are administered to each wrestler, and that data, along with his weight, is implemented into the program.
The OPC calculates the lowest weight at which a wrestler can safely, though Coble said it’s difficult for most kids to reach it.
Further, Coble lets the wrestler pick his weight class, with Coble offering advice as to where he thinks the wrestler would be best served.
From that point, Coble won’t let anyone move down a weight class, and a wrestler’s weight is taken daily.
Since the implementation of the OPC, Coble said the problem has been mostly curbed.
“When I first started coaching, there was a lot of not eating,” Coble said. “It only allows kids to lose certain percentage each week, and then I can show them, ‘This is what the computer says you can go to, you can’t go anywhere further.’
“... Since the state implemented OPC, it’s just not hard for kids to make weight.”
Palacios said the weight he picked with the program’s assistance (138) is only three or four pounds lighter than his normal weight.
The problem – if there is any – is the responsibility of the coach, now more than ever.
Coble said he doesn’t think any programs in the Twin Counties have any problems, but that issues arise when a coach forces a wrestler in a weight class he should not be in, or simply doesn’t pay attention.
“I think there’s a few coaches that tell kids, ‘This is your weight class. You have to make weight,’” Coble said. “A lot of times you can look at kids when they come in to the wrestling room, and see if they look healthy or not. You can tell if a kid – the term for wrestling is called “sucking weight” – if you can tell they’re all sucked out, they just don’t look good.”
Though there are healthier ways to cut weight, the problem ultimately stems for the fear of losing.
Coble’s philosophy is to push his wrestlers to think about winning, not about getting pinned or the disappointment that comes with losing.
For the most dedicated, though, there is no greater disappointment than losing.
“Personally, I take (losing) pretty hard,” Palacios said. “I feel like it was only my fault, and I let everybody else down. I train hard so I don’t have to go through that.”

PREPESPECTIVE: Wrestlers balance losing and ways to lose weight
Posted: February 4, 2012 at 10:03 am
Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) February 03, 2012
Phoenix Integrative Medicine, one of the premier weight loss clinics in Phoenix AZ, has been achieving weight loss success long term in 87% of patients.
Dr. Andrea O'Connor is the medical director at Phoenix Integrative Medicine. She has been assisting and monitoring patients at the weight loss Phoenix clinic for over 10 years. The most prevalent weight loss method utilized currently at Phoenix Integrative Medicine is with the HCG Diet.
The method utilized with the HCG Diet is a modified calorie plan. The conventional HCG Diet Phoenix AZ restricted patients to a paltry 500 calories per day diet. Dr. O'Connor has modified the HCG diet plan upwards to incorporate 800 to 1200 calories, allowing patients to exercise more than with the traditional diet and avoid hunger.
The traditional HCG diet prohibits patients from exercising on the diet, but not the modified plan. "We've found the modified HCG program works really well, allowing more exercise, less hunger, and by ratcheting up the dose of HCG the weight loss stays exceptional," said Dr. O'Connor.
A study out of Drexel University in 2008 showed that only 26% of patients maintained their weight loss goal weight after one year. At Phoenix Integrative Medicine, that number has been 87%.
"I've reviewed our patients, and our numbers are well above the national average for long term weight loss. What good is losing considerable weight if it comes right back. If patients stick with the program and all follow up visits, 87% stay at their goal weight," said O'Connor.
The Phoenix weight loss programs at Phoenix Integrative Medicine start at only $75 for an initial visit, and Dr. O'Connor oversees her patients intensively to prevent electrolyte imbalances. The diet can either be administered as HCG injections Phoenix or with sublingual drops.
Patients can make appointments by visiting the website or calling (480) 744-5441.

MICHIGAN -- "This is all about being real and being courageous enough to allow yourself to be vulnerable, open and honest, and really discover yourself," says Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition host and personal trainer, Chris Powell.
ABC's Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition is looking for its next candidates for Season 3. On the show, participants undergo a transformation, not only of their bodies, but of who they are as individuals. Chris Powell guides each of the participants through the weight loss process by moving into their homes. No joke. That is how he ensures proper nutrition, specific workout regimes, and a fresh perspective on weight loss.
"It's important that I'm there with these people 24 hours a day so I can coach them through the different triggers as they encounter them," says Powell. "It's not just about diet and exercise," says Powell as he points to his head, "it's really about understanding up here first."
The show documents the amazing makeover of courageous individuals who set out to lose half of their bodyweight over 365 days. To qualify, you could be classified as "super obese" (approximately 200 lbs. overweight), but that isn't a requirement.
"Most of the people you've seen me work with are approximately 200 lbs overweight," says Powell. "But if you really want to change the quality of your life, you qualify. Anyone who wants a change for the better, qualifies."
If you'd like to audition for Extreme Makeover: Weightloss Edition, there will be two casting calls in February.

Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Michigan Casting Call

Zoe is wasting away according to nutritionist expert.
Actress Zoe Saldana looked healthy earlier last year when she was preparing for her role in ‘Colombiana’ - but now she looks like she has dramatically lost weight that could be affecting her health.
In an interview with nutritionist Majid Ali Radar Online report “she looks thin and weak, and incredibly depleted.”
The weight loss expert - who has never treated the actress - estimates that at 5’7,’ the actress has dropped from a healthy, toned 135 pounds, to a worryingly thin 100 pounds in only a matter of month.
The 'Avatar' star was under a lot of stress last year as she was preparing to marry fiancé Keith Britton - but the couple called off their plans to wed last November after being together for 11 years.
Zoe, 33 is dating ‘Hangover’ star Bradley Cooper, and is starting to resemble his former thin girlfriend Renee Zellweger.
Ali explained that Zoe has been in a long-term relationship and now that she is single and has found a new love so quickly is bound to cause stress, which consequently will change her eating habits andlead to weight loss.
