hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diet and Weight Loss Plans Announces Long-term, Healthy Weight Loss Unlike Fad Diets Like …

Posted: October 4, 2012 at 6:14 am

New weight loss diets pop up all the time. One such fad diet is called the Military diet or 3 -day diet, but hCGTreatments / Diet Doc Weight Loss Plans reminds that healthy, long term weight loss cannot be achieved in 3 days.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) October 03, 2012

New weight loss diets pop up all the time. One such fad diet is called the Military diet or 3 -day diet, but hCGTreatments / Diet Doc Weight Loss Plans reminds that healthy, long term weight loss cannot be achieved in 3 days.

With the power of the internet, fads can grow extremely rapidly. This phenomenon coupled with obesity in America has everyone looking for the next big silver bullet of weight loss. One such fad diet claiming to have the answer is called the military diet, or 3-day diet. Supporters of the 3-day diet claim that as much as 10 pounds can be lost in 3 days with only proper diet and exercise. Dieters on the Military or 3-day diet must follow a strict eating regimen, common among any other diet. This seems effective, as many nutritionists will agree that eating many small meals throughout the day is effective for weight loss. But how will small meals and daily exercise enable someone to lose 10 pounds in only 3 days? The answer is that it doesn't. According to Livestrong, "Although people may lose weight on the three-day diet, most of this weight loss is due to fluid loss associated with very low-calorie diets, as noted by Diet Fads. This means that although you may lose weight, you're not losing fat. Additionally, the weight typically comes back on after the dieter returns to regular eating."

This [3-day diet certainly seems too good to be true and hCGTreatments / Diet Doc Weight Loss Plans warns consumers that if something has no clinical studies to support its claims, and sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The hCG diet from Diet Doc however has [ clinical studies that have gone so far as to tout the hCG diet as "the most productive and safe approach to the best weight loss."

hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diets & Weight Loss Plans reminds consumers that the hCG diet has over 50 years of clinical, and experiential evidence to prove that it works for fast weight loss. Dr. A. Simeons initially discovered the benefits of the hCG diet in 1954. Since then, the hCG diet has been proven safe and effective for nearly everyone and has a longstanding track record of positive fast weight loss results. hCG is an acronym for a hormone that is produced naturally in the placenta during pregnancy called human chorionic gonadotropin. hCG enables a woman to access fat stores in times of extreme hunger during pregnancy to ensue embryonic health. It is this ability of hCG to support weight loss without losing muscle mass and structural fat that has made the hCG diet so effective and fast weight loss available. hCGTreatments / Diet Doc Weight Loss Plans has vastly improved on the original hCG diet by offering more nutritional products, better nutrition science, and an increased daily caloric allowance.

The Diet Doc hCG diet has been clinically proven to provide fast weight loss on average of a pound-per-day. This weight lost is not water weight like the 3-day diet, it is stubborn body fat in trouble areas like underarms, midsection, hips, and thighs. Dr. Rao, Medical Director for Diet Doc adds, We use a ketogenic diet that is considered to be a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet, similar to what athletes use. We found this to be the healthiest and most effective diet to use for fast weight loss results."

Even military personal turn the hCG diet when they need to lose weight fast and safely. Diet Doc helped a military lieutenant lose 20 pounds and avoid an honorable discourage due to weight related health issues. The hCG diet utilized an aggressive, physician supervised and monitored diet plan to save the lieutenants military career. Fad diets are named such for good reason; the most popular method is often fleeting, while proven methods like Dr. Simeon's hCG discovery and then Diet Doc Weight Loss Plans' modernization and improvement of the hCG diet stand the test of time. The Cleveland Clinic perhaps says it best; "We all wish that weight loss and other health benefits could occur with simply making three days worth of dietary change. But severely restricting your calories, and including/excluding specific foods from the diet is not the way to long-term, sustained weight loss and health benefits." The reality is that true healthy and fast weight loss cannot be achieved in just 3 days, it takes a physician designed weight loss diet and dedication to achieve long term weight loss goals.

Diet and disease: what's the link? Save

Posted: October 3, 2012 at 5:23 am

Oct. 3, 2012, 9:20 a.m.

Carole Hungerford might be a GP, but she is not a fan of the way the business of medicine works. Not even close. ''Mainstream medicine is run by the drug companies. Doctors are driven by the pharmaceutical industry,'' she says. ''There's a renegade group of us where we try to understand that good health isn't about how many clever pills the drug manufacturers can make for us.''

Hungerford acknowledges the importance of medicine, but her focus is on putting things right before people need it, and that starts with the soil in which we grow food. She is keynote speaker at a seminar for GPs, Are You What You Eat? being held at the Mulloon Creek Natural Farm near Bungendore on October 6, a setting chosen to match the theme of the event - the link between soil, food and health. The public is invited to the dinner that night prepared by Janet Jeffs, when the speakers will hold a question and answer session.

Hungerford believes mineral and vitamin deficiencies play a key role in many health problems. She points to pre-eclampsia in pregnancy, a dangerous spike in blood pressure, which she suggests is linked to magnesium deficiency. Australian soils are low in magnesium and Hungerford recommends magnesium to pregnant women, and to patients with high blood pressure, preeclampsia, anxiety disorders, and chronic fatigue syndrome. ''A healthy woman on a good diet shouldn't be getting eclampsia.''

Selenium is also missing from Australian soils, and Hungerford refers to a study by Professor of oncology at Flinders University Graeme Young suggesting selenium supplementation could dramatically cut the risk of bowel cancer. Hungerford says such findings never get the funding necessary for large randomised controlled trials, because ''no drug company is going to fund a study on something so cheap and that they can't make money out of''.

''Mainstream medicine is run by the drug companies and it's only the drug companies that seem to be able to find the money to get the mega trials,'' she says.

Hungerford, who has GP practices in Sydney and Bathurst, where her husband runs an organic farm, and is author of Good Health in the 21st Century: A family doctor's unconventional guide, is vocal on the need to improve the health of soils. In the meantime, she takes supplements - selenium, zinc, fish oil, magnesium, vitamin D (she believes more people die of vitamin D deficiency by a factor of 10 than of melanoma), and a multi vitamin. ''If we don't clean up our act, clean up our environment and start eating clean foods, we're stuffed,'' she says. ''If you need any evidence at all that we've got something badly wrong in our paradigm, the sperm count of men is falling at a geometrical rate; it is scary.''

The conference is organised by the Mulloon Institute, whose general manager, Elisabetta Faenza, says GPs fall into two camps - those who think diet has a minimal impact and those who are convinced of its importance. She too, stresses that ''you can't fix a car accident with diet'' and medical intervention is one of the hallmarks of increased longevity, but she says many chronic conditions are less successfully treated with medicine. Diet and lifestyle more generally have an important role, she says, in arthritis, type 2 diabetes, autism, asthma, heart disease and cancer.

Many of the speakers agree that health people start with healthy soil. But while Hungerford turns to supplements where soil is deficient, Faenza says unless the body recognises a supplement as food, it is little use. ''If our food was better we wouldn't need to supplement, we are designed to get nutrients from food and sunshine and water,'' she says.

You could do a lot worse than look at what your ancestors ate. Not your grandparents. Much further back. Professor Neil Mann, head of food science at RMIT, studies the hunter-gatherer diet before agriculture about 10,000 years ago, which began the switch from wild, foraged plants and meat, to grains.

Doctor suspended for misconduct over weight loss claims

Posted: October 3, 2012 at 5:22 am

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2 Weight loss formula producer Datuk Dr Che Rozmey Che Din has been suspended for two years by the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) for allegedly contravening the Code of Professional Conduct under the Medical Act 1971.

MMC president Datuk Seri Dr Hasan Abdul Rahman said the council in its inquiry on January 16 found Dr Rozmey guilty of allegedly selling, packing and storing substances claimed to be weight loss products, and thereby contravening Section 3.4 of the Code of Professional Conduct.

Dr Rozmey was also found guilty for allegedly advertising and canvassing whether directly or indirectly to promote his professional advantage and associating himself with a commercial enterprise contrary to Parts 4.1 and 3.4 of the Code of Professional Conducts.

Dr Hasan, who is also Health Ministry director-general said, in a statement, that Dr Rozmey did not exercise his right to appeal to the High Court as stipulated under the Medical Act 1971 and the suspension was effective from March 14.

He said the MMC also took action again other medical practitioners for allegedly neglecting and disregarding their professional responsibilities, namely Dr Balayegaran M.S (one-year suspension), Dr Chow Chong Chek (reprimanded), Dr Ng Ah See (reprimanded), Dr Roland Masing (six-month suspension), Dr N.M. Ananda Murthy (reprimanded), Dr Chew Yoong Fong (reprimanded), and Dr Rajendra a/l Nadason (two-year suspension). Bernama

Fast Food Diet Participants Paid to Gain Weight

Posted: October 3, 2012 at 5:22 am

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis are making an unusual offer: They are paying people to add fat to their own bodies by eating an extra 1,000-calorie fast food meal each day for three months.

Dr. Samuel Klein, the lead researcher in the study, wanted to do some basic research on why only some people who gain weight develop diabetes and hypertension, while others do not. It's something he said he couldn't research by feeding food pellets to lab animals.

"What you learn in rodents does not always translate to people," Klein said. "What you learn on flies and worms won't translate to people."

Watch the full story on "Nightline" tonight at 11:35 p.m. ET

Fast food turns out to be a perfect food pellet replacement because it is good for measuring exactly what people are eating. The five restaurants chosen for the study were McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and KFC.

"[Fast food restaurants] have very regulated food content," said Klein, the lead researcher of the study. "We know exactly the calories and macro-nutrient composition within fast food restaurants, so it's a very inexpensive, easy and tasteful way to give people extra calories."

There was also a cash incentive. Participants could earn up to $3,500, depending on how long it took them to reach the weight goal. They had to gain 5 percent to 6 percent of their body weight during the three-month span and then they could work to shed the pounds again. Researchers monitored their weight from week to week.

When the hospital put out an ad seeking participants, several people came forward.

Dawn Freeman, a 50-year-old nurse who has now finished the program, started out weighing 170 pounds. She said she gained 16 pounds over the course of eight weeks.

She was compensated a total of $2,650 for her effort, including $50 to lose all the weight again, which she did with diet and walking exercise to help her get down to 162.8 pounds. The hospital guides participants through the weight loss.

Weight control–it’s not just exercise and diet

Posted: October 2, 2012 at 2:15 pm

Exercising and dieting can create an energy deficit that can help us lose weight. But if the focus will always be on calories, then most people might just be preoccupied with burning more and eating less, without knowing the negative effects this may have.

What happens if we focus only on diet and exercise and disregard other aspects of effective weight control such as proper rest, positive attitude, supportive relationships and good self-management skills? Weight loss might not last for long; it may not happen at all.

Based on my personal experience, readings, research and daily dealings with clients, Ive realized that changing ones eating and exercise habits is just one part of the whole picture. An effective weight control strategy involves other major ingredients.

It has a game plan

The game plan includes your level of motivation, readiness, eating and exercise program, created especially so you can realistically follow everything until you achieve your weight goal. Copying someones weight loss plan might not work for you because the amount and type of exercise and food might be too little or too much for you.

You need to consult medical and/or weight loss professionals to get your best game plan. These are experts who can also teach you how to deal with challenges such as cravings, lapses, medical conditions, injuries and mood disturbances. Your stress and time management skills are also part of the plan.

Your exercise game plan: If you are just starting to make lifestyle changes to lose weight, you cant just enroll in a fitness center or run outdoors every morning and burn 500 to 1,000 calories because youve read that to lose one pound of fat per week from exercise, you need to burn at least 500 calories per day.

You need a comprehensive lifestyle assessment and plan. Your physical activity plan would depend on how much time you devote to burning calories per day or per week. Remember that activities like moving around the house, performing household chores and climbing up and down the stairs have equivalent calorie burn as well.

The exercise intensity will be based on your fitness level, exercise history and nutrition. If youve been sedentary for the longest time, then a light to moderate physical activity like brisk walking and light weights might best suit your first weekly program. Your exercise program should progress gradually, depending on your fitness gains, to avoid injuries, health problems, overeating and early exercise termination.

Your eating game plan: Your eating plan to control weight will depend on your current physical activity game plan. Most people will just go on low-calorie diets without considering their daily energy expenditure, so they get weak and sick and are eventually unable to pursue their weight loss efforts.

Diet Doc Announces Women’s Weight Loss Diet Plan in Recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Posted: October 2, 2012 at 2:14 pm

Diet Doc offers an hCG weight loss diet plan that targets a number of womens health related issues, including breast cancer

Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) October 02, 2012

Diet Doc offers an hCG weight loss diet plan that targets a number of womens health related issues, including breast cancer.

October is breast cancer awareness month and Diet Doc is taking a part in recognizing the month-long event by offering a weight loss diet plan that addresses womens weight related issues that are found to lead to degenerative diseases. According to the National Cancer Institute, weight gain and obesity is associated with increased risks of cancer types including: thyroid, pancreas, colon, breast, kidney and gallbladder. The report also states that fat tissue produces excess amount of estrogen, high levels of which have been associated with the risk of breast, endometrial and other cancers. And, with over 200,000 women in U.S. diagnosed with breast cancer as reported by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, women, especially those who are considered overweight or obese, are urged to take preventative measures to avoid the risk of joining the thousands who are already diagnosed with this life-threatening disease. Founder and CEO of Diet Doc Julie Wright says, most of our dieters are female and we are working to help shed light on this disease that threatens the life of every woman. Our new diet plan includes nutritious foods that are most beneficial for a womens health and works to help prevent a number of weight-related diseases.

Diet Docs womens weight loss diet plan combines a personalized diet plan with daily treatments of the hormone hCG, known for its fat-burning, muscle-preserving and appetite suppressing abilities. Although hCG is considered the center of the diet plan, it it also found that the personalized diet plan created by a nutritionist is what really puts the weight loss and good health in motion.

A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that a high glycemic load diet and carbohydrate intake were positively associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer. Diet Docs diet plan for womens health is low-glycemic and low carbohydrate with a strong emphasis on antioxidant-rich foods and essential vitamins and minerals. Pharmaceutical-strength vitamins, like vitamin D, that are known to prevent breast cancer are also prescribed by an in-house doctor along with hCG treatments after a thorough health evaluation is given.

Diet Doc has been creating medical weight loss solutions for almost a decade and are always working to prevent a number of weight related diseases. Now offered online, the hCG weight loss diet plan can be accessed by anyone from the comfort of their homes. Dieters are no longer required to go into a clinic for weekly evaluations and weight-ins and are given the tools necessary to achieve any weight loss goals. All of Diet Docs weight loss programs come with an essential weight loss package that vary depending on the type of program and can include: a diet journal, food scale, medical supplies, flaxseed fiber, protein shakes, ketone test strips and other necessary tools to get started on a new diet. Each dieter is ensured success and is managed by a weight loss coach with weekly follow-up calls who also has unlimited access to the whole medical staff at Diet Doc.

"By the year 2030, at least 44 percent of adults in every state of the country could be obese," said Jeffrey Levi, the executive director of Trust for America's Health. "The potential rise in health-related problems associated with obesity and the rise in health care costs could be staggering."
