San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 16, 2012

hCGTreatments / Diet Doctors have formulated a new line of prescription diet pills that eliminate hunger and increase energy, with patients reporting up to 30 pounds of weight loss per Month, or a pound a day on average, greatly improving their patients health and quality of life.

The Doctors at hCGTreatments / Diet Doc Weight Loss have developed a new line of weight loss prescription diet pills to include a lipotropic (or fat burner), an appetite suppressant, as well as a prescription strength raspberry ketone supplement. The three medications can be used alone, together for an extra dieting edge, or even in conjunction with the hCGTreatments / Diet Doc Weight Loss medically supervised weight loss program for results of up to a pound a day as reported by their clients.

Although the FDA has recently approved the new diet pill Belviq, also known as Lorcaserin, for weight loss, it is no magic bullet. Even when combined with consuming a low calorie diet and exercise the results are shown to be around 12 pounds a year, results that can be easily reproduced without the additional expense of the drug Belvig. For people who are obese (with a body mass index, or BMI, of 30 or higher) or who are overweight (with a BMI of 27 or above) and suffer from a weight-related health condition such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol, its not enough. When their health or even their lives are on the line, they need an aggressive solution. They need help.

Diet Doc Weight Loss president, Julie Wright states, "This is not a true weight loss medication if the end result is losing only a minimal amount of weight after one full year of taking an expensive prescription while enduring side effects . This weight loss drug is not a solution to obesity."

Ultraburn- A lipotropic which literally means to move fat This product is intended to accelerate the rate of weight loss. The lipotropic contains carnitine, 1000 mcg of B12, which will help with energy as well as caffeine and other ingredients. SlimDown- An appetite suppressant, has herbal extracts which block the absorption of sugar and directly suppress appetite. This does not contain stimulants like ephedra or phentramine. Raspberry Ketones Korean researchers reported in 2010 that raspberry ketone increased fat cells' secretion of a hormone called adiponectin that regulates the processing of sugars and fats in the blood. Japanese researchers reported in 2005 that raspberry ketone "prevents and improves obesity and fatty liver," by boosting the breakup of fat cells. Raspberry Keytones sold as a new dietary supplement has become nearly impossible to find in stores since Dr. Mehmet Oz proclaimed it a fat-buster and "The No. 1 Miracle in a Bottle" on his television show. "I never understood how powerful it could be," Dr. Oz told his studio and television audience in February, 2012.

What we learned while developing these prescription grade diet pills is that other diet pill companies are not including enough active ingredients to make their diet pills effective, reports Wright. It's not enough to say that there is green tea extract inside a diet pill, but that diet pill must contain enough of each active ingredient to actually produce results, reports Wright. With that consideration, hCGTreatments / Diet Doc Weight Loss has incorporated enough of these active ingredients to their weight loss pills to require a prescription, thereby creating a line of prescription dietary supplements to their arsenal of weapons in the war against obesity with pretty impressive results. hCGTreatments / Diet Doc Weight Loss Diet Plan is a sophisticated doctor designed and physician managed weight loss diet that customizes a personalized diet for each person based on their health history, age, gender, lifestyle and preferences. Diet Doc Weight Loss Diet Plan Doctors go on to prescribe weight loss medication that has little to no side effects along with weight loss products, weight loss shakes and a weight loss oil that is capable of causing the body to burn fat within 30 minutes according to clinical trials. 97% of patient who participate in the hCGTreatments / Diet Doc Weight Loss Diet Plan experience fast weight loss and keep it off long term, reports Wright. Diet Doc provides weight loss service to people nationwide, regardless of physical location with a unique business model that eliminates borders and provides unlimited (free) clinical care 6 days/week to dieters.

Women Who Lost Weight on Low-Fat Diet Had Fewer or No Hot Flashes, Researchers Find

By Kathleen Doheny WebMD Health News

Reviewed by Laura J. Martin, MD

July 11, 2012 -- Losing excess weight by eating a low-fat diet filled with vegetables, fruits, and whole grains appears to help reduce or eliminate menopausal symptoms, according to new research.

"Women who lost weight on a low-fat diet reduced hot flashes and night sweats," says researcher Bette J. Caan, DrPH, senior research scientist at the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research.

Even some women who followed the diet and didn't lose weight reported fewer menopausal symptoms, Caan tells WebMD, although she says that could be a chance finding.

"The biggest reduction in symptoms was in women who lost weight and were on the diet," she says.

The study is published in the journal Menopause.

About 80% of women report hot flashes and night sweats as they progress through menopause, according to Caan. Up to half of them have moderate or severe symptoms. The others have mild symptoms.

The flashes and sweats are thought to result from dilation of the blood vessels close to the skin.

Can Weight Loss Cool Hot Flashes?

OAKLAND, Calif., July 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Weight loss that occurs in conjunction with a low-fat, high fruit and vegetable diet may help to reduce or eliminate hot flashes and night sweats associated with menopause, according to a Kaiser Permanente Division of Research study that appears in the current issue of Menopause.

This Women's Health Initiative study of 17,473 women found that women on a diet low in fat and high in whole grains, fruit and vegetables, who had menopausal symptoms, who were not taking hormone replacement therapy, and who lost weight (10 or more pounds or 10 or more percent of their baseline body weight), were more likely to reduce or eliminate hot flashes and night sweats after one year, compared to those in a control group who maintained their weight.

Many women experience hot flashes at some point before or after menopause, when their estrogen levels are declining, explain the researchers.

"While the mechanism is not completely understood, hot flashes and night sweats are thought to be caused by a complex interaction that involves fluctuating hormone levels, the hypothalamus region of the brain that regulates body temperature, brain chemicals and receptors, and the body's blood vessels and sweat glands," said Candyce Kroenke, ScD, MPH, a research scientist with the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research and lead author of the study.

Although previous research has shown that high body weight and weight gain are associated with hot flashes and night sweats associated with menopause, this study is the among the first and the largest to date to analyze whether weight loss on a diet designed to reduce fat and increase whole grains, fruit and vegetable intake might ameliorate symptoms. It is also among the first to examine the influence of a dietary change on symptoms that include hot flashes and night sweats, said Kroenke.

"Since most women tend to gain weight with age, weight loss or weight gain prevention may offer a viable strategy to help eliminate hot flashes and night sweats associated with menopause," said Bette Caan, DrPH, a research scientist with the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research and the senior author of the study.

She explained that greater body fat provides insulation that may hinder heat loss, and hot flashes and night sweats provide a way to dissipate that heat.

"Weight loss, especially loss of fat mass but not lean mass, might also help alleviate hot flashes and night sweats," added Kroenke.

The investigators emphasize that further research is needed to better understand the relationship between diet, weight and hot flash/night sweat symptoms. They explain that the beneficial impact of a healthy diet alone (regardless of weight change) may also help ameliorate symptoms.

This study follows a related study published in March in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in which Kaiser Permanente researchers found that preventing weight gain after a breast cancer diagnosis may offer a viable intervention for relief of hot flashes. The researchers noted that intentional weight loss in breast cancer survivors requires further study.

Weight Loss Resulting from a Low-Fat Diet May Help Eliminate Hot Flashes and Night Sweats in Menopausal Women

Weight loss resulting from a low-fat diet may help eliminate menopausal symptoms

Eat less, exercise more. Simple? Yes. Easy? No. If weight loss were easy, obesity rates among adults in the United States probably wouldn't have reached the current 36 percent.

Recently revised guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force acknowledge that fact. They recommend that clinicians screen patients for obesity, which is defined as having a body mass index of 30 or higher. Further, they say patients who meet or exceed that level should be offered or referred to "intensive, multicomponent behavioral interventions" to help them lose weight.

The revised guidelines strengthen the previous recommendations, says David Grossman, a senior investigator at Group Health Research Institute in Seattle and a member of the task force.

For the millions of people who struggle to lose weight, the new guidelines offer much-needed support. It's unclear whether employers and insurers will welcome the change, though.

Under the 2010 health-care law, new health plans and those whose benefits change enough to lose their grandfathered status must provide services recommended by the Preventive Services Task Force at no cost to members. For the 70 percent of employers that already offer weight management programs, that may mean just supplementing what they already offer, says Russell Robbins, a senior clinical consultant at Mercer, a human resources consulting firm.

But some employers are concerned they may be on the hook for ongoing treatment as employees make repeated attempts to lose weight.

"From a financial standpoint, the guidelines are pretty broad and pretty extensive," says Helen Darling, president of the National Business Group on Health, which represents the interests of large firms. "Does this mean that employers and the government will be paying for up to 26 intense visits every year for every obese person for the rest of their lives?"

A Health and Human Services HHS official said the department is evaluating whether to issue additional guidance on the new rules.

Insurers will be working to determine how best to satisfy the recommendations, says Susan Pisano, a spokeswoman for America's Health Insurance Plans, an industry group.

"I think the real question is making sure there are programs that fulfill these requirements," she says.

Non-Sugar Sweeteners May Help Control Weight and Blood Sugar -- if You Don't Compensate

By Kathleen Doheny WebMD Health News

Reviewed by Laura J. Martin, MD

July 9, 2012 -- Substituting other sweeteners for sugars may help people lose weight and help people with diabetes control blood sugar, according to a new joint statement issued by the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association.

"When you use these non-nutritive sweeteners smartly, they will help you cut back on sugar and calories," says Christopher Gardner, PhD, who chaired the writing group for the joint statement.

The key word here is "smartly," says Gardner, associate professor of medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine.

The benefits of the sweeteners only hold if people don't undo them. That happens when they slake their sugar craving with other sugary drinks or foods later in the day -- an all-too-common tendency among people who use artificial sweeteners.

The new scientific statement is published in the journal Circulation.

Americans eat too much sugar, the American Heart Association warned in 2009.
