Why Virtual Gastric Band Hypnotherapy Makes Slimming So Easy

noreply@blogger.com (Diet Expert) — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 14:33:00 +0000

Recently the BBC led with the headline, "Ten-fold rise in gastric bands". The unprecedented rise in people seeking weight loss surgery took place between 2000 and 2007. And the number of people choosing gastric banding is still rising quickly in 2010. Many top celebrities, such as Fern Britton, have raised the profile of this approach by having the treatment. Hypnosis offers many advantages compared to gastric band surgery: one of the cutting-edge approaches I pioneered in my clinical practice is Virtual Gastric Band Hypnotherapy.

Before we look at the benefits of having an imaginary "virtual" hypno band fitted, it is important to look at the dangers of having gastric band surgery.

"Gastric banding" is designed to reduce the size of the stomach. A silicone band is tied around the top part of it, in order to "shrink" the belly. As a result, the stomach is divided into two parts. The smaller part at the top forms a separate "sac". When food is eaten, it gathers in this upper chamber. Because it is around a quarter of the size the stomach used to be, a person feels full much faster.

There is a small gap so the food can slowly "drop through" to the main part of the stomach to the lower "sac" or chamber.

Having a gastric band fitted might sound like a good idea, and can be effective in reducing appetite. However this surgery has well-documented side-effects:

Vomiting and nausea are common for most patients who undergo surgeryPatients can't eat a large meal anymore, and some people have become depressed or felt more isolated socially as a resultInfections are a risk of any surgeryDiarrhoea is commonFainting from not getting enough nutrition is common because patients struggle to eat as much as beforeConstipation

One study on post-operative gastric band patients saw an increase in suicides. The author, Samantha Scholtz, says that patients need the right post-operative care. Many patients were disappointed that they did not feel better or have a better "body image" after surgery.

Another challenge with Gastric Band surgery revolves around the reasons why a person is over-eating. Often it is not because they are excessively hungry, but because they are desperately unhappy. Going through the mechanical motions of having a gastric band fitted simply does not address deeper psychological or emotional issues. It will not necessarily change habits or ways of thinking.

So how does having Virtual Gastric Band Hypnotherapy compare?

One of the real benefits of hypnosis is it allows clients to get negative emotions handled. In my clinical hypnotherapy practice in Cardiff, I have worked with hundreds of clients to lose weight. The main challenge almost all of them face is some form of "comfort eating".

The other problem is that in comforting themselves with food, they have been over-riding the signals that tell them when they are full. Hypnotherapy is a powerful way to help a person comfort themselves without the need for food.

Hypnosis is the fixation of attention. Anytime you have been absorbed in something like watching a favourite TV show, you have been in trance. You know what it is like when you are in a "TV Trance" and no one can disturb you. Or perhaps you remember driving from one place to the next and can't even remember the journey: you were experiencing "Highway Hypnosis".

All of us go into trance-like states all day long. Anytime we are trance-fixed on one thing to the exclusion of all else: you're in a trance. Hypnosis is a natural and very powerful way to relax a person. In a trance state, it is possible to simulate the sensations of having a stomach tightened, as if having surgery.

As a result, you start to feel fuller and more satisfied. Another benefit of the Hypno Gastric Band is that you start to slow down the rate you eat. That means you have more chance to stop when you feel full.

Trance is a perfect way to help a person start to feel better about themselves. One of the greatest setbacks to a person getting slimmer is believing, "I will feel happy and good about myself when I lose 5 stone and I am at my ideal weight." The problem with this is it means they get to be miserable every step of the journey there. And an unhappy person is very unlikely to stick with a regimen long enough to see results.

So using Hypno Band Hypnotherapy to fit an imaginary gastric band means your body will start to re-set its "satiety signals" back to normal. This is a proven and safe way to lose weight. As long as you are motivated to stick with your sessions, slow down your rate of eating, and listen to an Advanced Hypnotic Weight Loss recording, then you will notice benefits very quickly.

There is also the huge benefit of not requiring anaesthesia or an actual operation. You don't have invasive surgery to recover from. Hypnosis is natural, and there is no danger of infection or dizziness.

For a person who has not addressed the emotional side of their eating, having a physical Gastric Band fitted can be stressful. By contrast, hypnosis specifically deals with emotions as part of installing a Virtual Gastric Band. There is plenty of opportunity to give lots of positive suggestions of self-worth, self-acceptance and to leave behind that feeling that drives so many people to over-eat: boredom.

Gastric Band Surgery currently costs around ?7,000 (over $11,000) to have. It also carries the risk of it not working or a host of physical side effects and possible infections. Worse, the psychological root of over-eating is not addressed.

Many folk who have gastric bands end up despondent and disappointed by the result. There is also about a chance of death in worst cases. The UK-based newspaper 'The Daily Mail' carried a warning in its headline in August 2009, "Gastric band killed 18st mother desperate to be thinner for her daughter".

Virtual Gastric Band hypnotherapy is safe, proven and has no side effects. It works and can be a great alternative for someone who wants to change and feels ready to try therapy. It means a person can get to the core of what is really keeping the weight on. As long as the client feels ready to let go of what is holding them back and is motivated to have different results, then hypnosis can speed up this process.

Weight Loss Surgery - Weighing the Surgical Options for Obesity

noreply@blogger.com (Diet Expert) — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 11:28:00 +0000

The number of patients undergoing weight loss surgery has risen sharply. Over the last ten years, the amount of bariatric surgeries performed each year in the United States has gone from less than 30,000 in 1999 to more than 200,000 in 2008. Yet this represents only a small percentage of the Americans who medically qualify for bariatric surgery and who can benefit from surgical intervention for extreme obesity.

Extreme obesity, which is generally 80 to 100 pounds or more overweight, is a chronic health condition that is very difficult to treat. According to the National Institutes of Health, bariatric surgery is considered the only permanent treatment for individuals who are morbidly obese.

With obesity reaching epidemic levels, the rising popularity of bariatric surgery is not expected to slow any time soon. However, the widespread obesity levels are not the only factor behind the increase in surgical weight loss treatment. A significant portion of the growth can be attributed to the development of safer surgical techniques and the availability of less-invasive bariatric options.

Surgeons first began to experiment with various intestinal and gastric bypass procedures for weight loss back in the 1950's. Some of the earliest bariatric procedures were successful in terms of weight loss results, but they also led to serious health problems, including protein-calorie malnutrition, diarrhea, kidney stones, severe arthritis, and liver failure.

Through their attempts, surgeons learned more about the effects of altering various parts of the digestive system and made improvements to their methods. Although it took many years of trial and error, it was in the early 1990's that bariatric surgery finally began to benefit patients more than it hurt them.

The most successful bariatric procedure over time has been the Roux-en-Y (RNY) gastric bypass surgery. The RNY gastric bypass was first performed in 1967 using open surgery methods, and laparoscopically in 1993. This procedure reduces the functional volume of the stomach and alters the body's response to food through rerouting of the small intestine.

Almost four decades later, the RNY gastric bypass is still the most common type of weight loss surgery performed in the United States. It results in rapid weight loss and improves or resolves many obesity related health conditions. Gastric bypass patients are required to make lifelong changes in their eating habits and take nutritional supplements to minimize the risk of vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

It wasn't until 2001, with the FDA approval of the LAP-BAND System, that there was a significant bariatric option other than gastric bypass surgery. More recently, the Swedish Adjustable Gastric Band, which is marketed in the United States as the REALIZE Band, was approved by the FDA in 2007. Both gastric band systems have been available worldwide since the mid 1990's.

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a less invasive option to gastric bypass surgery with similar long-term weight loss results. This method does not require surgical alteration of either the stomach or intestines. Instead, a medical implant is placed into the body to restrict eating and control hunger. Gastric banding does not cause nutritional deficiencies as gastric bypass, and can be adjusted or reversed if medically necessary.

While gastric bypass surgery and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding are the two most popular bariatric options, two other lesser known bariatric options, the gastric sleeve and duodenal switch, may be the preferred treatment option in certain situations.

Choosing to undergo a weight loss procedure is not the easy way to weight loss, but for some individuals it may literally be a life-saving step.

Will Insurance Cover Bariatric Lap-Band Surgery?

noreply@blogger.com (Diet Expert) — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 07:03:00 +0000

Bariatric Lap-Band surgery is one of the safest surgeries to help with weight loss, but it can also be expensive too (as with most any type of surgery). For this reason, many insurances (such as Blue Cross (in some states), Humana, One Health, Medicaid, First Health, Tufts Health Plan, United Healthcare, Oxford Health Plan, and American Family Insurance) have been known to cover for bariatric care. If covered, insurances will either cover for complete care or partial care.

If you are not covered by your insurance company, it may not hurt to talk to your employer. Lots of times it is the employer that decides what will or will not be covered for their employees. It is usually not difficult for an employer to make a change in an employee's insurance package. It is, however, very difficult for an employee to make a change since it is the employer that purchases the insurance packages in bulk and therefore, already has a deal set up with the insurance company.

Not even bariatric centers can get insurance companies to change a policy that is already written, no matter how qualified the person is for getting a bariatric procedure done. However, it will be much easier for your employer to change your insurance policy if you do qualify for bariatric procedures because of medical reasons.

Even if your insurance won't cover for bariatric care, there are other options that are usually available. Many centers have "out-of-network" benefits you can take advantage of, and financial plans through third parties that will help allow you to pay. Bariatric centers will generally try to work with you and your financial needs.

Weight Loss Surgery: Bad Diets and Diabetes Connection

noreply@blogger.com (Diet Expert) — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 02:25:00 +0000

Numerous studies demonstrate that in the scenario that your (BMI) is over 35, weight loss diet is inefficient. A person's weight issues have become chronic and the possibilities of lasting weight reduction are very lackluster indeed.

In the situation where your BMI is above 35, you have been evaluated to have diabetes, and you are in fact greater than forty years of age, you may qualify for an obesity surgical treatment. This surgical treatment targets to bypass a majority of the abdomen and small intestine, distributing meals immediately down the colon. The consequences are beneficial as people lose around sixty-to-seventy percent of their surplus weight.

An accidental side-effect is that sufferers also receive are being cured of type 2 diabetes in only 24 hours. The majority of type-2 diabetics are obese. The insulin has to guide the blood sugar into the muscles starts to function badly when you're immensely overweight. So long as there is an excessive amount of sugar in the blood following a meal, which is in fact how we contract diabetes, the pancreas will have to work hard in a valiant effort to lead the sugar into the muscle groups, tissue and organs. If this situation is not controlled properly, the pancreas in the end gives up and is unable to develop insulin any longer. As soon as that happens, it becomes less likely that weight loss surgical treatment will be a successful treatment the patient's elevated sugar levels. But when the surgical procedure is performed earlier than that situation coming into play, in no time at all the patient is nearly always cured of diabetes.

Gastric Banding Helps Cure Diabetes When Obese
A gastric band is a silicon ring that is inflatable and can be positioned across the upper a part of the tummy, making a small commencing to the rest of the stomach After in your frame, the gastric band controls the amount of meals required to fill you up and the velocity at which food passes from the pouch for your stomach.

A gastric band is valuable at generating weight reduction as it enables you to feel more glad on smaller portions of meals, so you'll be able to feel complete for longer on a smaller amount calories - stimulating your frame to drop some weight. A gastric band procedure must be a direct and simple surgical procedure with out the desire for a health center stay, which we bear in mind can make sufferers feel fearful and from time to time forestall them from taking that each one vital move to a new, lighter and extra enjoyable life.

Weight Loss Is Not Just About Shedding Pounds

noreply@blogger.com (Diet Expert) — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 21:53:00 +0000

Most individuals that are overweight have one goal in mind and that is to shed those excess pounds. Of course whenever there is a weight issue this is the priority.

Often though after one has reached their goal, and lost the weight they hoped to, they are still not pleased with their overall appearance. This is often due to the aftermath of having been overweight, and it is magnified according to the length of time that the person has been dealing with their weight issues.

The biggest problem is sloppy muscle control and sagging skin. This is understandable when the muscles and skin have been stretched beyond the norm with having to deal with the excess fat that they were subjected to. So really losing weight is not just about watching the pounds disappear, it is about taking positive action to put that once gorgeous body of yours back in shape.

Hopefully you utilized some type of exercise regime to help you lose the weight and this will have assisted you in some of the toning up of your body. It has to go beyond this though, and often many weight losers will stop at this point. They believe they have reached their goal, and what they have is about as good as what they are going to get. This is not true however. Now it is time to continue the damage control. This means continuing not only with the proper diet but the proper training to strengthen those weakened muscles and tone up the skin. It must be approached by utilizing methods that are going to work from the inside out and the outside in.

This requires a proper diet not only to maintain the proper weight but to enhance the firming and toning process. In addition to this it requires some extra tender loving care for the skin to rejuvenate it.

So basically a true weight loss program has to treat the body as a whole. By looking after all the physical requirements it does wonder for the psychological outlook as well.

Weight Loss Is Dangerous, Slimming Down Is Not

noreply@blogger.com (Diet Expert) — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 18:52:00 +0000

Weight loss-look closely at those words. Is there an image in your head now? Go back to your own body. You likely know that most diets do not work, or perhaps you have discovered diets DO work, but they work in reverse. A well known doctor had a problem-he had patients coming to him to get help gaining weight. Yup, they were not only too skinny; they could NOT put on pounds.

For years he had seen patients ride the roller coaster of loss and gain-it suddenly occurred to him. He put ALL his patients who could not gain weight on a diet-when they lost 3-4 pounds and started to eat normal again, they gained 5-7 pounds back. They went on a diet again and lost 4-5 pounds, only to eat normal again and gain 7-9 pounds back. Diets do work, they work in reverse!

The general term "lose" is the challenge to attack. Do you all want smaller muscles? That could be part of the "loss" if you are not careful. We want to burn FAT, and GAIN muscle for sure. All of us have different bodies too. Trying to look like someone on a magazine cover may simply not be possible-AND it may be unhealthy. Hopefully you all know skinny is not an equivalent to health. Just because someone is "rich", or has stuff, they are not happy either! It is our goal to help you melt some fat and build some muscle. To do this you need blood flow. Exercise and movement are important. All movement is not created equal. What I mean is, will exercise unclog your arteries if they have plaque build up? In most cases, NOT. We all likely know some thin person who jogs all the time who died of a stroke or heart-attack. My uncle did at 52 while physically fit, running to the store for ice cream.

Hydrogenated oils are artificially processed oils that never appear in nature. They are created by food producers for the convenience of food producers - primarily to add shelf life and consistency to foods so that those foods not only taste great, but can sit on the shelf for months at a time without going bad.

The growing body of literature suggesting that HFCS (high Fructose Corn-Syrup) affects body weight and some obesogenic parameters.

Meanwhile, despite two decades of public health initiatives, stricter government dietary guidelines, record growth of farmers' markets and the ease of products like salad in a bag, The New York Times is now telling us something that, in truth, we already know: Americans still aren't eating enough vegetables.

Today, the Times said, only 23 percent of American meals include a vegetable (note: French fries don't count). And in restaurants, a mere 5 percent of patrons order salads as a main course. In an effort to make vegetables more attractive, growers are trying all kinds of tricks to get us to eat them, including the baby carrot industry trying to position the product as a junk food.

It is my intention is to help you THINK, not just react to life. You have been lied to many times by "experts". Doctors are misinforming you. THINK, a doctor gets ZERO education on nutrition in 8 years of school. The doctors license ONLY allows them to give you prescriptions-they "treat" your SYMPTOMS, not heal your problems. They are not allowed nor do they know how. Period. The AMA, (American Medical Association) reports doctors are responsible for almost 2 million deaths a year for either misdiagnosis, or conflict medications. That is when your prescriptions you take may have an adverse reaction if combined with herbal tea-like death.

You have been lied to thinking your weight is "hereditary". It is "habitary". Genetics and DNA do NOT work that way. Listen, I KNOW, our whole lives we have heard this garbage-centuries ago everyone was told if you sailed too far, you would fall off too. All your weight issues are likely environmental-if the parents are big; the kids are eating at the same dinner table or fast food restaurant. I Googled a load of different web sites on reducing plaque in the arteries-they all say the same basic thing-you can help yourself through NUTRITION. Nitric Oxide will do this for you immediately as soon as you take the formula developed by part of the 1998 research team that won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1998-the doctor was named "Father of the Year" by the 2008 Diabetes Association and determined he has saved more lives than any living physician.

If you have been looking to lose weight then you have most likely try various supplements, pills, cleanses as well as the usual diet and exercise. You may have even gone all out and gotten a gym membership or sign up with a personal trainer. However, depending on your body's may not be enough.

This can be one of the hardest decisions to make as there are several different options out there all with varying degrees of costs associated with them. One option of course is lap band surgery and you may be wondering whether or not you should try to get this option affordably.

Something to consider is that everyone has a particular price in mind when they go to buy something and this includes surgical procedures as well. If you have specific budget in mind what you end up getting may either be really good or may require you to reassess budget you have in mind. This of course, means that affordable lap band surgery is different for many people. On the one hand, you may have one person that wants the absolute best in the world with regard to this particular procedure is willing to pay any cost.

You need to be realistic in both your budget and what you may find. You can even go to different countries to get the surgery done just be aware that just because it is cheap does not necessarily make it the best choice for you. Remember no matter how good the prices, if you are uncomfortable with your surroundings then you need to reassess exactly how much you are willing to pay.

Weight Loss Procedures With Zero Incisions

noreply@blogger.com (Diet Expert) — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 02:58:00 +0000

First ask yourself if it is correct to call it surgery! If a doctor modifies your internal body without making any incision, how do we call it? It seems to be a dream or just a funny joke but it is not so. Surgeons use natural orifices of the body like throat or vagina to do some procedures that otherwise would need at least laparoscopic surgery.

Most of the free-incision procedures are in experimental stage. When they will be approved, most things that we now know about bariatric surgery will change. Surgeons will have to consider other levels of risk, availability, benefits and cost for their patients. Let's see few examples:

Gastric Balloon is an easy to made incision-free procedure. A deflated gastric balloon passes through your mouth and throat and goes into your stomach where it is filled with liquid or with air. It can stay there no more than six months and will reduce the amount of food a person can eat. This procedure is not approved in U.S. but is available in other countries from Europe, South America, in Canada, Australia or Mexico.

Toga Surgery or Transoral Gastroplasty is a new type of incision-free weight loss surgery. Down through your throat, continuing into the stomach, the surgeon will introduce a tool akin to a stapler. At the moment the tool reaches to the right place, the doctor staples a part of the stomach whose function will remain to be accomplished by a small remaining portion, having the size of a thumb. After that, the stapler tool will be removed from your body. This procedure is in an experimental state yet.

StomaphyX is a revision procedure, following the original gastric bypass, that is needed for those persons who, from different reasons, have an enlarged stomach again and its small dimension must be recreated. Statistics say that 15-20 percents of patients who have had gastric bypass will need StomaphyX because they started regaining weight again, due their enlarged stomach.

Transoral Rose is very much similar with StomaphyX. Surgeon will create multiple folds around the stomach to make it smaller. He will use sutures with tissue anchors, placed in the stomach pouch. This way, the amount of food that can be eaten is getting smaller; stomach is slowly emptied, creating the sensation of been full.

Endoluminal Sleeve or EndoBarrier is a sleeve that has the role to line the upper part of the small bowel. The duodenum and the first part of jejunum will be mechanically bypassed. This procedure is made via mouth and throat. The first statistics about it say that it might help reverse diabetes.

Who Do You Blame for the Obesity Epidemic?

noreply@blogger.com (Diet Expert) — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 22:54:00 +0000

Who do you think is at fault for the obesity epidemic? Is it the individual, the family, the fast food industry or society? Actually, a little of everyone involved and a lot of genetics. Yes genetics, as certain people have a makeup for becoming obese. Today most people point the finger at the individual without understanding the complexities of the problem.

There are a multitude of reasons for obesity from families and their eating habits to society and companies that have food in vending machines that are not healthy. These include snacks that are full of sugar and empty calories.

People need to understand that an obese person has many factors that they have no control over. If this person has parents that are overweight the food choices most likely have not been chosen for their nutritional value. It is more expensive to eat healthy. Poor eating habits when they are young will stay with these people until they learn how to change these habits.

When an obese person tries to go on a diet a couple of things are going against them. The first is that there is food at almost every corner. Gas stations and convenient stores have the least nutritious foods available. Go to a gas station or most convenient stores and try to buy fruit or vegetables. Just recently vending machines at work have started to put healthier food but they usually have soda and snack foods.

The body is not innocent in this either. With the extra fat on the body putting toxins in the blood and extra sugar from the poor eating habits and the fat insulin is produced in large amounts. This insulin is critical in converting sugar to energy but it also converts sugar to stored fat and increase your appetite. All of these factors plus inactivity and a sedate lifestyle make it very hard to lose weight.

The real problem is not blaming someone but to rectify the situation. As obesity becomes more common we learn how deadly this disease is. Most obese people have a variety of structural problems with their joints and cartilage. They also have problems with their kidneys, nervous system and heart. They have a harder time recovering from illness as their body cannot fight diseases as efficiently as most people.

The other problem is the expense of the disease as people who are obese are almost guaranteed to cost more for their illness and are at higher risks for cancer, heart disease and kidney disease. Insurance companies are looking at increasing premiums to obese people to help cover the added expenses incurred with people who are overweight. This is a disease that affects everyone as we all will pay for it and the overweight individual will pay the ultimate price.

The different thoughts on how to cure this disease all need to start from the teaching and educating both parents and children. Good eating habits need to be taught and reinforced all through the informative years at school and this is starting to happen. Most schools are replacing snacks with fruits and nutritious foods. Companies are starting to have wellness nurses counsel obese people and have various programs to help these people lose weight and keep it off. It benefits the company in lower premiums and less missed time from employees. We need to really emphasize education and good eating habits along with exercise. Until this is done we will have this problem that can be cured.

Surgery Aftercare for Gastric Banding

noreply@blogger.com (Diet Expert) — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 18:29:00 +0000

The gastric banding surgery after care starts the very moment you are taken out from the operating room. You will be led in the recovery room where you will be assisted by medical staff. After which the doctor will visit you so you are free to ask him about what ever concerns you. From the recovery room, you will be taken in your hospital bedroom and at this time, the doctor will assess if you are in good condition for the operation. After the operation your every step of your progress recovery will be monitor by the medical staff of the clinic. From time to time, your blood pressure will be taken while you will be connected to a fluids drip. They will also take you some blood samples and administrate you pain reduction drugs.

Most of the medical subjects of this surgery will be able to walk after the medical intervention is ended, so you will be able go to the bathroom by yourself, during the night while you will be sleeping in the clinics bedroom. In the next morning, the medical staff will take more tests to appreciate the success of the lap banding operation. After taking your new blood samples and giving you drugs to reduce the pain, your heart and lungs will be verified. The specialist you will visit after this procedure will ask you to drink a fluid and will examine you, by the help of x-rays, to observe if the liquid is passing in a right condition from the upper small part of the stomach towards the lower stomach.

Back in your bedroom, after other tests, you will take a light meal. After examining all the results of all your tests, the doctor will visit you, once more, to remind you everything you will have to do in the next period. He will also indicate you how many pain drugs to take and when to do it. The doctor is still at your disposition in case you have any questions. Before leaving the clinic, you will receive a pack containing information concerning the post-surgery after care. This is the moment you will be discharged from the hospital but you will have to sleep, for one more night, in the same locality where the clinic is situated. In the next evening you will be again visited by a medical assistant in your hotel room.

The necessary time for recovery is variable from a few days to two weeks. In some cases if you need to adjust your gastric band, you will visit the hospital again. Periodically, you will visit the surgeon that monitors your progress. You will also have to fill your gastric band again from time to time.

Talking To Your Teen About Obesity

noreply@blogger.com (Diet Expert) — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 14:18:00 +0000

A huge percentage of people with obesity is made up of teenagers which is quite alarming since this are the years which people are considered to be physically active. For parents who have teenagers, it is important to help them prevent obesity. Teach and encourage them to live a healthy lifestyle and practice healthy eating habits. Talk to them so they will understand why it is important to be healthy and advise them the proper ways to achieve it.

Allot time to sit down and talk with your teenagers. If your family has history of diabetes, heart disease and stroke, maintaining an ideal weight and healthy body is an essential way of prevention. Talk to them about the benefits of having a healthy lifestyle. For teenagers who are already overweight or obese, they may have worries and concerns too. Take time to address to each of their concerns and be honest in answering their questions. Do not tell your teenager hat he or she is not fat just to save her self-esteem. Give honest answers; avoid false hopes, but offer support instead.

The power and influence of media over teenagers can really be frustrating at times, especially when it sends a negative message. People seen on television and magazines can sometimes send out the wrong message especially on how teenagers should be physically attractive and how they should look at themselves. The tendency of teenagers, especially females, is to compare themselves with the celebrities that they find attractive. Sometimes, when they cannot get the body figure that they want to have, they become depressed and disappointed at themselves. Inform them that the ideal body weight and body figure varies from person to person. Being healthy does not mean being skinny. Instead of focusing on how skinny models and celebrities are, divert their attention to activities which promote healthy eating habits.

Encourage them to have as much physical activity as they can. Joining extracurricular activities and sports in school can be very beneficial. Not only do they have the chance of losing extra weight, they also develop a sense of discipline and have an improved sense of self. If they do not have interest in sports activities, persuade them to have regular exercise instead. Jogging, running or swimming for an hour can give favorable results. Physical activities need to be done constantly and not sporadically since teenagers have the tendency to be lazy sometimes or busy with school work. Help them create a schedule which will enable them to balance everything.

Steer your teens away from diet pills, fad diets and slimming teas. The best way to lose weight is by doing it the right way. Inform them of the dangers they can face upon using instant ways of losing weight. Some die pills are not regulated by drug authorities and can have adverse reactions which are life-threatening. Some popular fad diets cut down on some food groups which are needed by the body in order to have the nourishment it requires. Slimming teas can have serious effects such as dehydration. There is no overnight solution for being healthy.

Pack their meals with fruits, vegetables, dietary fiber and always remind them to drink as much water as they can. This will help them cut down on weight but not on the nutrients that their body will need to keep going.

Talking to Your Doctor About Weight Loss

noreply@blogger.com (Diet Expert) — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 11:12:00 +0000

Is going to the doctor a good notion to lose weight?

Doctors will not thank me for recommending everyone who wants to remove weight to go to the surgery for advice - It would scare people, as the majority of us are higher than average weight. I think you require to use common sense to decide if a visit to the general practitioner is reasonable The following are some openings when it might be so:

If you've been putting on fat and sense that you have not transformed your eating or exercise patterns. If you've other symptoms (e.g. exhaustion, sluggishness, coldness), you most likely should definitely go. Unexplained fat gain may possibly be a warning of an underlying wellbeing difficulty.If you're extremely higher than average weight - with a body weight index over 30ish - you should get a thorough check-up and the GP will most likely wish for to offer you advice on lifestyle changes you could make - diet, exercise etc. He/she might make reference you to a dietitian and even give you a prescription for visits to your local sports centre - in the UK, a standard prescription charge lets you a monitored program of exercise at the leisure centre, gymnasium or swimming pool in taking part regions.Fat individuals are at bigger hazard of all kinds of health faults, which is why it is important to involve your general practitioner. Loads of greatly overweight individuals have attempted to lose fat themselves and find it in addition difficult, so seeing the general practitioner may assist you to remove the fat this time.If you think you may possibly have an consuming disorder, it is a good idea to see your physician, who may refer you to a specialist for assist.If you're gestating or thinking of becoming pregnant and are overweight, you most likely should see your doctor.If you have time and again tried to get rid of fat and failed. Your physician may possibly be able to provide you advice - or may well even suggest a thinning pill.

A number of GPs aren't as compassionate as they should almost certainly be with over normal weight people - such heartless} doctors should get that some minutes' informative consultation with an over normal weight person now may set aside much NHS dollars (half a billion fat a year of it) and much of their instant in future years. Also, in my experience, a amount of doctors don't know a great deal on the subject of level-headed slimming or nutrition, although some, obviously, do. Which side yours falls into is a bit of a gamble. If you sense you aren't getting great recommendation, ask to be referred to the community nutritionist.

Accordingly when is it not necessary to visit your physician regarding a excess weight crisis? I'd declare if you are in great wellbeing otherwise and have decided that you need to shed a stone or so, then you possibly will follow a good healthy thinning plan, or you might like to join a thinning club for underpinning and guidance.

The Reasons for the Obesity Epidemic

noreply@blogger.com (Diet Expert) — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 06:40:00 +0000

The general thought is that an increase in calories is the culprit for the obesity epidemic. It is true people are eating much more than they used to. You would think the increase is in dietary fat which is incorrect. It has been well documented that the major increase of calories is from carbohydrates. Fast foods, convenience foods and sweetened drinks and sodas have shown a marked increase in people's diet. The average intake of calories for women in 1975 was a bit more than 1500 but by 2000 that increased to over 1800. In men the increase was from 2500 to over 2650 calories. The consumption of fast foods has tripled in this time period.

A variety of reason also added to the problem. People started to drive everywhere especially in the USA. Now most people would never think of walking to the store even if it is down the street. With remote controllers for TV's, computers and game systems we have become more sedate in our rest hours. At work with the addition to many labor-saving devices and machines we do not get the exercise our bodies sorely need.

Without exercise we bring more problems to add to obesity. Not only does exercise burn calories which also helps regulate certain hormones such as insulin which in excess will increase the intensity of your hunger pangs as your body tries to combat the extra blood sugar in your system but other hormones that also regulate hunger. Insulin also in large quantities will turn the excess sugar into stored body fat which secretes toxins in your body that you cannot clear out as your system is overloaded.

Not sleeping enough also will cause problems and promote obesity. Two hormones which help regulate hunger are disrupted when you do not sleep enough. One of the hormones that are produced in excess is Ghrelin which stimulates your appetite. The hormone that suppresses appetite is now produced in smaller amounts as your sleep decreases.

Having a large intake of carbohydrates especially with the sweetened drinks this go directly into your bloodstream and sets off a chain reaction of which everything that happens is bad. The sugar stimulates the production of insulin and brings such effects as an increase in insulin sensitivity so your body produces more insulin to try to regulate the sugar.

The high concentrations of sugar in the blood also attack your organs and bring on diabetes which is a blanket term for a variety of disease that are made worse by a high concentration of sugar from too many carbohydrates.

When people look at someone who is overweight they do not realize that the condition is a disease and it is a dangerous cycle to be caught in. People who are obese and overweight have a tendency like the rest of us to look for a short cut or a magic pill to lose weight and solve the problem. Unfortunately the best way to combat these different diseases that will eventually kill you is a well balanced diet with small amounts of carbohydrates. Include exercise in small amounts at first and you have a combination of healthy eating and exercise that will improve how you feel and look along with improving your quality of life.

The Missing Ingredient

noreply@blogger.com (Diet Expert) — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 22:53:00 +0000

One more meeting about childhood obesity. We all get together and discuss once again: the causes, the challenges, the implications of childhood obesity... Today we talk about obesity and its comorbidities (diseases). Pretty scary talk for all the providers involved.

We see it day in and day out. We fear it day in and day out, but the worst part is that we can't figure out an efficacious way to convince parents. Some providers say it's all about portions, others say it's all about the processed foods we are eating, others say it's the school lunch..... What we all agree upon is that if we cooked from scratch and controlled portions, it would be the key to the epidemic.

We all get stuck with the same obstacle; it doesn't matter which approach is used to counsel families. How do we motivate parents to make changes? It's not a disease that will show itself right now. Like one of my colleagues said, parents have other immediate problems to attend to so they can't see such a distant future. Telling them that 10 years from now something bad is going to happen is not convincing enough. So we, the doctors, attend one more workshop for motivational interview and we try some more of the same things.

But it is only too little that can be changed. How can you be creative if the formula is so simple: what you eat minus how much you move = you. If you eat more and move less = you obese. So we are stuck, unless you as a parent want to change and help your family.

For lack of a better solution, we providers do the same thing, over and over again in the hope that one day, parents will come to this visit motivated to change. Then we can partner with them in their journey for a healthier life.

Should You Get Liposuction If You Are Slim?

noreply@blogger.com (Diet Expert) — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 17:59:00 +0000

As you know, the weight loss and body image industry advance at a very rapid rate both in terms of technology and the options available to the person that wants to tone, reshape, and generally rework their body. This industry is worth billions if not trillions of dollars and as such, it can be a little bit overwhelming when you first decide that you want to lose weight. One option of course is liposuction.

However, if you slim, is liposuction be something you should consider? Some people will think that liposuction is just for those that are overweight and want a quick solution followed by a longer-term plan for a healthier lifestyle. However, one thing to consider of course is that no matter how much you work out and eat right there will always be areas of your body that seem to defy your efforts or that you just do not like. In this case, just like this makes sense.

Something to consider of course is that liposuction on its own will not be your total weight loss cure. While it does reshape and re-sculpt your body, to see the best long-term benefits you will have to most likely make lifestyle changes and changes in not only your overall diet but also your eating schedule. So while this choice can make you look good in the short term, it will be up to you to keep that look your, and your health long-term.

Even if you are slim and do work out, liposuction can be a choice that you make to get rid of unwanted flab and cellulite off of areas that are hard to target when it comes to your exercises. Of course, it is possible to do too much in your quest for that perfect body. Ultimately, you will have to make the choice as to how far you are willing to go to attain your vision of perfection.

Some Thoughts on the Lapband Procedure

noreply@blogger.com (Diet Expert) — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 14:53:00 +0000

If you have been attempting to lose weight for any length of time then you know that it can be certainly something that is a very long-term goal. Although there are many different options that offer you quick weight loss for minimal effort, ultimately you may end up seeing little to no results or even gaining the weight back. What you are looking for is a long-term solution that is not only good for one time weight loss will actually help you maintain your ideal weight and allow you to live the life you want to live.

Something to consider here is that the lap band procedure will help you do this. The thing to understand however is that need to realize that unlike other options you may have looked at, it is not something that you can just go out and apply for and instantly get the next day. You need to ensure that you are first a good candidate. As such, there are several tests needed to go through before you can take the next step. Something else to consider is that if you are looking to lose 30 pounds about a month then lap band itself may not be for you. The idea that you can lose that much weight in such a short time is not only wrong, it is dangerous. Lap band allows you to gradually lose the weight while still eating things that you like to keep.

True, for any weight loss to take place you will have to make lifestyle changes such as changes in your diet as well as exercise, however, ultimately you are looking for a long-term solution that will help you lose the weight you want now and keep it off you would do well to consider this option.

One of the things to consider when you are thinking of lap band is that it will, in fact, train your body to help you make proper and healthy choices with regard to nutrition and exercise. So in a sense, lap band itself is much more than surgical procedure.

Stomach Fat Burning

noreply@blogger.com (Diet Expert) — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 10:08:00 +0000

Who wants to know the hype from the truth about what is the best stomach fat burner? All the guru's have the only answer. Their advice is full of do this, not that. That's the hype. Lots of people, maybe most of us that want to lose fat, are totally confused by all the different and conflicting information. Most of us just want to lose the belly fat and uncover the abs we have. Do we have abs? Absolutely! We just want help in getting the torso slimmed down so we can see them and, yes, others can see them too. The problem lies in the diet and all the physical fitness business is not giving us clear answers.

I think the reason for this failure to have clearness is not dishonesty, at least not in most cases. The fact is there is no magic food you can eat, no magic pills you can take and no one magical exercise you can do that will, without question or doubt, cause loss of fat in the belly. There is only one approach to stomach fat burning and reaching the desired flatness and that is to consume the correct foods in the right amount and proportions and combine that with the right exercises.

Modern research has shown that doing repetitive workouts, sit-ups, and crunches do very little by themselves in reducing stomach fat. It was found that the result for many people was their stomachs actually got larger while doing targeted abdominal exercises. What was happening is the exercises were building muscle but the muscle was underneath the fat!

You need to speed up your metabolism in order to burn fat, and, believe me this is true, that can be done with the right foods and exercise. Put those two together and in the correct combination and you will have a formula for zeroing in on the ugly belly fat you want to get rid of.

Here's the surprise. Some of the foods that are best for you to eat to work on that tough stomach fat are actually very high in fat. As an example, avocados, olives, and, yes, peanut butter are good stomach fat burners since they are full of the right kind of fat; fat that will get your metabolism in high gear so that it burns extra calories.

Another really good food to include in your stomach fat burner is dairy products such as low fat milk. It has been proven that calcium acts as a metabolic trigger that sets off your metabolism into the high gear you want. Recently in a University of Tennessee study, the participants who each consumed from 1200 to 1300 mg. of calcium each day successfully lost nearly double the amount of weight that those in the group that did not take that much calcium.

With regard to exercise, most of the experts I've heard from agree that it isn't necessary to waste money on the latest 'bell and whistle' abs building machine. In an attempt to have the greatest abs possible, you don't need to spend your weight in dollars. What is needed is free and easily accessible and does not require you to join an expensive gym. The only gear you need is a good pair of shoes to wear because the best, the number one stomach fat burner is walking. Tighten your stomach muscles as you walk. This is not only a good exercise, it will give you better balance. Walking speeds up the metabolism, burns away fat, gives your muscles tone and is a great cardio exercise.

In conclusion, the only secret is no secret at all. The best all around method to lose weight in your belly, and to keep it off, lies in the right combination of exercise and eating. Let your lifestyle and your daily schedule be your guides to finding the right diet. Otherwise, you will almost inevitably not keep the diet and exercise going and any fat you have lost will come back.

The Single Most Disastrous Cause of Being Overweight

noreply@blogger.com (Diet Expert) — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 05:12:00 +0000

Obesity is the disease of this age and can predispose you to many dreadful diseases. Aside from losing good body shape, being overweight makes you vulnerable to heart diseases, kidney diseases, diabetes, lethargy, etc. Unfortunately, the major cause of overweight is due to the lifestyle of a typical busy person today. Many people starve through a busy day and compensate for the hunger strike by taking heavy dinners.

Thus, the greatest cause of overweight today is actually 'eating heavily at irregular intervals'. This is inevitable if you do not eat well during the earlier periods of the day.

Culprits of the Single Most Disastrous Cause of Obesity

Culprits of this sin often include both men and women who have busy schedules. Unfortunately, stay-at-home mothers also suffer from this condition when they get hooked in their routine duties and neglect food.

In addition, you may hold the erroneous idea that eating three times daily (at about 6 hour-intervals) is the ideal; this will make you eat heavily these three times and injure your body system.

What to Do About This Cause of Obesity

On the contrary, healthy eating habit involves eating at shorter intervals to compensate for the decrease in glucose level in your blood that occurs every 3 hours. However, you must consistently eat healthy food to achieve this result.

Blood sugar rises every time you eat and gradually declines after about three hours. Similarly, most food items digest in an average of four hours. Therefore, the key to stay slim and fit is to eat smaller foods at regular intervals. Try to grab healthy snacks every 3 to 5 hours to replace lost energy instead of eating heavy meals at inconsistent periods of the day.

A lot of people eat less to get slim but gain weight instead. Unless you understand how your body system handles the food you eat, you may just be suffering yourself. Learn to study your body and its reactions to the food you eat; that is the only way you can effectively slim down (or retain a good size) without hurting yourself.

Above all, listen to the still small voice inside of you. Remember, eating right will positively influence your physical and mental fitness and will make you more alert and sharp.

The Risks of Being Obese and Not Dieting

noreply@blogger.com (Diet Expert) — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 01:27:00 +0000

Obesity is going to epidemic proportions. This does not include the people who are termed overweight. Obesity and overweight reaching epidemic proportions insurance companies are looking away at ways to cut costs and make people more responsible for their health. People who are overweight or obese have many problems to face and now another one.

List of problems that obesity causes is long and day of deadly. Baylor College of medicine recently did a study of people who are obese and surgery. They found that people who went to surgery and are obese were three times more likely to have complications. They also discovered that people are obese and overweight have a larger tendency to have rectal cancer. This number almost doubles if the person has been obese since childhood.

The study showed that people with larger waists 45 inches or more were three times more likely to experience surgical site infections and twice as likely to require re-operation after the initial surgery. With bariatric surgery becoming more and more common the risk for infection and complications and obese people is growing. Bariatric surgery at best is part of a whole weight loss program. Even with bariatric surgery, you will still need to eat a well-balanced diet and continue to monitor your weight.

People who are obese and are looking for an easy out by going to bariatric surgery are in for a surprise. The risk for these people of obstructions, infections, and other complications are greater. The complications and risk that being obese have on the body are many times greater than the overweight person. Bariatric surgery is now reserved for the extreme we obese people.

Most experts agree that people are overweight and obese should start losing weight as quickly as possible. This means that losing one to 2 pounds a week and starting now rather than later is imperative. The longer you wait the harder it becomes and the more dangerous it becomes for you. Losing weight is not easy, but they are deadly, if you do not lose weight and keep it off.

What can be done? The consequences of doing nothing are deadly. Today's society is starting to make people who are overweight to an obese responsible for themselves. Some airlines are talking about charging people extra if they are overweight or obese, insurance companies raise your premiums when you are obese or overweight, and society in general has a negative look on overweight or obese person. The simplest but not necessarily the easiest way is to go on a complete diet and weight loss program. This includes education of how your body reacts to food, learning behavioral modification, setting realistic goals, and an exercise program that is tailored for your specific needs. If you are overweight or obese you need to take control of your life and take steps to lose weight and eventually it off. Benefits of a implementing a complete weight loss program will result in you feeling better, having more energy, and generally being healthier.

The New Food Network

noreply@blogger.com (Diet Expert) — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 20:52:00 +0000

This refers to the poison Food Network, the network indirectly responsible for almost all that ails us. If you acquiesced a few weeks ago, believing you're going to gain weight this holiday season - regardless - you're probably right. Man, they've got it wired.

If you are not eating organic, as much as possible, you're in trouble. In the early eighties, the buzz was just starting regarding genetically modified foods, (the new Food Network), and whether we would know the difference. Fast forward to today: almost every product in every store has some sort of "modification", as though nature needed an improvement. Aren't bananas just the perfect fruit, complete with their own carrying cases? Did it need "adjusting"? All for profit.

Problem is, no one knows the effect of all of this tampering. I can see one clearly; everyone seems to be getting fat. It's so easy. Corn, which has become a primary ingredient in darn near everything, has been modified to contain so much sugar and starch, you can hardly eat it. Corn on the cob tastes like powder. The poison Food Network produces isles and isles of empty calories at your local market.

It also produces high fructose corn syrup, which has been identified as the main culprit in the "bottomless pit" syndrome (your stomach). Your brain never gets the message "we're full - stop eating". Your body is still waiting on something, anything it can use for energy. If it doesn't get it, the message continues, "keep eating until you give me what I want!!!"

You'd be amazed at the difference when you consume a completely organic meal. No acid reflux; you are satisfied and eat normal portions, and your body goes to work, so thrilled you finally gave it something useful. And guess what? You automatically start losing weight. The old Food Network, organic food, is still giving you an option.

Uses of Slimming Pill Other Than Weight Loss

noreply@blogger.com (Diet Expert) — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 16:08:00 +0000

One of the most popular slimming pills available today is Xenical orlistat. It was approved by the FDA in 1999 and since then thousands of people have used it to see great results in their body weight. This pill is clinically tested and proven to be effective and safe. It helps you lose up to 10% of body weight in around 6 months.

Experts in this field believe that even a 5% weight loss in overweight or obese people is significant and noteworthy resulting in improved health and protection from various health conditions. This unique drug, however, is not a miracle cure for obesity. It shows great results only when used in conjunction with a low calorie diet and regular physical exercise.

Clinical studies have shown that this drug helps you lose more weight if used with a proper diet and exercise than if used alone. You should take this pill as per your doctor's prescription. These capsules should be taken three times a day with every meal. Ensure that you do not eat a high fat meal when you are supposed to take Xenical. If you do so, skip the dose.

Xenical works by blocking the absorption of fat from your diet. Around one-third of the dietary fat is not absorbed when you take this pill. The fat that is not absorbed is flushed out of the body. You lose weight faster as your fat intake it reduced. Apart from losing weight, use of Xenical has certain other benefits.
Your eating habits improve: To minimize the side effects of Xenical, you have no choice but to take it along with a low calorie diet, which not only brings down your fat intake but promotes an overall sense of well being. You can also achieve your goals faster.Lessens the risk of diabetes: Taking Xenical cuts down your risk of developing diabetes. It also helps in delaying progression of type 2 diabetes.Your insulin levels will be reduced: The level of insulin in your body is reduced when you take Xenical. This hormone, insulin, is responsible for allowing glucose and sugar to enter your body. High levels of insulin increase the risk of developing coronary heart disease.Blood pressure levels reduce: Use of Xenical helps you reduce blood pressure.

Apart from the above advantages, Xenical is considered safer than other slimming pills as it does not interfere with the functioning of the brain. Other weight loss products suppress your appetite, which is risky.

Slimming pills

The market today is flooded with slimming and it is important that you know the risks associated with the use of such pills to be on a safer side. Most pills on the market today work by suppressing your appetite and interfering with the brain. These inexpensive and harmful pills should not be used under any circumstances. Always consult a doctor before you use any pill. Tell your doctor if you are using any other medication for treatment of other health conditions. Make informed choices for better health.

The Miracles of Not Losing Fat by Taking Weight Loss Pills

noreply@blogger.com (Diet Expert) — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 12:18:00 +0000

I went to this healthy restaurant the other day. They claim to serve food that burn a lot of fat and calories. I asked them how long does it take to have an effect and they said within days of eating their food. So I sat down to the table and ordered six capsules of green tea herbal pills for the appetizer, 15 capsules of acai berry extract, goji berry extract and some ginger pills for the mains, and for desert I ordered a vanilla extract six pack pill with coconut on the side.

I got home hungry and ordered McDonald to satisfy my hunger. I did not lose half a kilo.

Of course I am telling you fibs here but someone may as well start a restaurant that serves that kind of nonsense to people because the weight loss pill industry seems to turn over billions every year as it is. People think they will lose weight fast just from swallowing some tablets that suppose to be natural. I do not believe this is nature, a processed little capsule that maybe will be absorbed inside the body and go into the blood system and do this and that for you. I believe in eating real food that will do all that for you. And we have seen again and again people who eat junk and look like junk and people who eat well and look well because you are what you eat.

I carry with me a one and a half litter water bottle which I fill every day with fresh drinking water and I make sure to finish it plus another half a litter every day. The first 700-800 ml of it I drink first thing in the morning before breakfast and wait until I have to empty myself. I then have breakfast which contain of some organic eggs, one sausage, plenty of vegetables, and some cheese. Two or three hours later I may have a fruit salad with some raw nuts and organic yogurt, and I keep going until bed time on the same fashion.

I also make sure that at least 51% of my daily food intake is raw, and when I say raw I mean un-cooked. This means a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, raw nuts, un-cooked fish salad, and so on. It sounds complicated but once you get in the routine of doing it this way and you enjoy the health benefits of this life style you never go back and it stops to be so difficult.
