Diet Doc Explains Why Doctor-Supervised Diet Plans Are More Effective Than Mini-Fast Diet

Wichita, KS, July 11, 2017 -- Weve often heard the saying, Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, the popular Mini-Fast diet replaces that morning meal with exercise as a way to jumpstart the metabolism and burn more calories. The diet is based on the science of intermittent fasting, coupled with early exercise that is intended to burn through remaining glycogen stores and transform the body into a fat burning machine prior to eating. After skipping breakfast, the fasting period is over at noon, and the dieter should choose healthier, low-calorie options throughout the rest of the day.

Skipping breakfast is a hotly debated topic in the diet world. Our metabolism and blood sugar are normally at optimal levels in the morning, so eating earlier in the day tends to make more sense. People who skip breakfast do tend to burn more calories, but some researchers have seen a link between skipping breakfast and elevated levels of inflammation after lunch. Skipping breakfast and replacing it with exercise can also lead to snacking or binge eating later on. Diet Doc medical weight loss, a nationally recognized telemedicine program recommends that any fasting program should take place under the care of a physician. Diet Doc incorporates intermittent fasting for obese and overweight patients as a part of their customized, doctor-supervised diet and medication plans.

Diet Doc Explains Why Doctor-Supervised Diet Plans Are More Effective Than Mini-Fast Diet - EconoTimes

Not everyone goes vegan to lose weight, but it can be hard to find information on how to maintain your weight or gain when you go vegan.Heres how to go vegan without losing weight.

Its definitely possible to maintain or even gain weight on a vegan diet. Just look at football player David Carter, who reached his goal weight of 300 pounds eating only plants. Its all about eating the right food and enough of it.

NFL players arent the only ones looking to maintain or gain on a vegan diet. Below, I share my own story of maintaining weight while going vegan and tips on gaining from a vegan weightlifter.

Fora lot of new vegans,the focus tends to be on cutting foods out, so it makes sense that youd lose weight. If you just stop eating the cheese, butter, meat and eggswithout replacing the fat, protein and calories,youre probably going to lose some weight. But you dont have to.

WhenI went vegan 11 years ago, I was riding my bike 10 miles a day and was already at a healthy weight. I wasnt looking to lose weight when I cut out animal products for good,so when I started dropping pounds, I had to figure out how to maintain my weightwhile eating vegan.

The trick for mewas finding ways to make up those lost calories. These are some of the calorically-dense foodsI add to my meals to helpmake them filling andmaintain my weight:

Basically, the foods above are the ones I use to make sure Im getting enough calories each day, even when Im very busy. They may seem like no-brainers if youve been vegan for a long time, but many new vegans dont yet know how to round out a meal or snack without animal products. Thesefoods are a great starting point.

To get some tips on how to gain weight on a vegan diet, I talked to myfriend,Chris Moultrie, who is an avid weight trainer. He has been vegan fora decade.As his exercise regimen has shifted more and more toward gaining strength and muscle, hes had to also shift his eating patterns to accommodate.

Chris explained that, to build muscle, you need to be in what lifters term a calorie surplus. This means that youre taking in more than youre using, so that your body can efficiently build muscle, your calories arent competing for current/future energy and muscle building, you have enough for all of them.

To build that calorie surplus, Chris had to move away from the idea of simply replacing the meat and dairy he used to eat with enough veggies to feel full.That wasnt providing him with enough calories. To gain on a vegan diet, you have to change how you think about eating. He says there are really two ways to gain on a vegan diet:

A typical meal for Chris looks like this:

He also explains that the order youre eating matters, if you want to have healthy vegan gains. You can eat the protein and carb together, just make sure you eat your fruit and veg first, itll make you feel a bit fuller and ensures you dont fill up on other things and accidentally not eat them.

Whether youre trying to gain or maintain your weight on a vegan diet, its all about getting enough calories each day. As Chris pointed out, No one really mentions that when you switch to a vegan diet, youre now lush with fiber. Fiber makes you feel full, full means youll eat less, now youre losing weight.

If youre losing weight or not gaining as quickly as youd like, he suggests using a calorie-tracking tool to log what youre eating for a few days. Chances are, youll discover that youre not eating as much as you think.This is where those calorie-rich sauces and toppings can help. Bring on the sauces, cashews and avocado!

There are tons of resources out there for losing weight on a vegan diet, and that can make it hard to find good information on gaining or maintaining. Here are some places to start:

Armed with the right foods, its easy togo vegan without losing weight or even gain on a vegan diet. Like any other life change, it just takes some planning and education.

Its a rainy day here on Long Island, and in about an hour, Ill be heading to a wedding with my girlfriend at a church right around the block. Wed discussed simply walking over there, but with the monsoon thats been coming down for the past hour (and with no hope that its going to stop before 3:00 according to the weather report), it looks like well be driving over there, instead;-)

After the wedding itself, well have an hour or two before we have to head out east for the reception. For those of you unfamiliar with Long Island here in New York, places like Montauk, the Hamptons and several wineries can be found further out towards the tip of the island. Since this is technically July 4th weekend and the rains supposed to die down shortly before wed have to head out, were going to give ourselves a 90 minutetwo hour buffer to insure we can get to the reception on time.

Which brings me to the point of todays email: Commitment. When two people get married, theyre not only committing to each other, but to their spouses family, friends, and the life theyd like to build together. Theres a binding legal document that must be signed prior to the nuptials, and it often entails the bride and groom moving in together (if they hadnt done so already). Any kids or pets that came before the marriage come along for the ride, as it is truly a complete immersion of two individuals lives.

This level of commitment is really quite reminiscent of the one you have to make if youre looking to make a permanent change

Lets face itLosing weight isnt a huge accomplishment anymore! With shows like The Biggest Loser on TV, and a bunch of fad diets and fitness programs that offer you insane results in a very short period of time, losing the extra weight isnt the big accomplishment these days. The big accomplishment is, rather, if you can KEEP THE WEIGHT OFF!

Sadly, we live in an instant gratification society. If youre accessing this right now, then, like it or not, you live in a world of abundance much of the global population doesnt have access to. There are countries that are literally 2030 years BEHIND us from a technological perspective, so email or internet to them is an insane luxury. For us, its a common component of our lives, and is a must

If you really wanted to, you could find a job working from home, have all of your groceries and food delivered to your front door with a few taps of your finger, and you can stream just about anything in the world with a relatively inexpensive internet subscription. We could be shut-ins if we really wanted to!

So when the notions of hard work and of truly adopting a healthy lifestyle to assist in achieving Permanent Weight Loss becomes the reality, many of us would rather revert back to gaining weight and being unhealthy, just to yo-yo and undo all the progress weve made not too far into the future. We really dont want this to take any significant amount of work.

And it doesnt have to take up much of your week! My programs help my clients lose weight FOR GOOD by making their health a priority for just four hours per week. Four out of the 168 hours we have each week is just 2.4% of it! This includes prepping healthy meals and snacks, as well as being fit!

The hardest part is the commitment, the determination and the dedication necessary to really see this thing through. Reaching your short-term weight loss goal isnt the hard part, no matter how much weight you have to lose! Its continuing to eat healthily and to exercise regularly for the REST OF YOUR LIFE! This will insure that you continue to thrive long after the weight has been lost:-)

So, whats it going to be? Are you going to keep yo-yoing, or are we going to nip this in the bud, and make a PERMANENT change?

P.S. If youre READY to take that first step on your health and weight loss journey, then youre REALLY going to want to download my FREE report!

With 10 years of experience, SEVEN different fitness and nutrition certifications, and a sustained weight loss of 100 lbs., I think I know a thing or two about this Permanent Weight Loss thing;-)

This report will provide you with the five strategies I personally used to lose 100 lbs., and KEEP THEM OFF! These are the same five strategies I teach my Permanent Weight Loss clients, and are the basis to losing weight and getting healthy once and for all!

What Marriage Has to Do with Permanent Weight Loss... - HuffPost

For many people,losing weightis a constant battle. Some try fad diets to jump-start the weight-loss process and drop pounds quickly. Mayo Clinic experts say fad diets arenot the best way to lose weight.

Raw food, detox, cabbage soup, the three-day flush. The list of fad diets is long. Mayo Clinic family medicine specialistDr. Summer Allensays many fad diets work by drastically slashing calories.

If anybodycalorierestricts themselves to 500 to 600 calories in a day, theyre going to lose weight.

But, she says severe calorie restrictions are not realistic long term.

I think, for a lot of people, restricting themselves from things in the long term, they end up craving it even more.

Dr. Allen says successful, sustainable weight loss is all about lifestyle changes. Fill your plate with fruits and veggies, whole grains and lean meats. And definitely get moving. Be more physically active.

Start small. So start with a day a week, as far as your activity level, and then work toward the five days or six days a week of activity.

Sure, fad diets may help jump-start your weight-loss goals, but, for long-term success, focus on healthy lifestyle changes.

The Problem With Fad Diets (Video) - South Florida Reporter

Obesity is at epidemic proportions in the United States and in other developed and developing countries. The prevalence of obesity is increasing not only in adults, but also in children and adolescents.We all know that obesity is a significant risk factor for various chronic illnesses, most importantly heart disease and diabetes, but also cancer and osteoarthritis, liver and kidney disease, sleep apnea, and depression. Clearly significant benefits could be expected from interventions to prevent or reduce obesity.

Studies have shown that significant improvements in disease risk could be attained with moderate weight loss (5% to 10%). Research has also shown that approximately 20% of overweight individuals are successful at long-term weight loss which is defined as losing at least 10% of initial body weight and maintaining the loss for at least 1 year.

There is no single answer to weight loss. However, reports indicate that meal replacements can offer an effective option for losing weight in patients who are obese or overweight. A traditional lifestyle intervention using meal replacements can be especially effective for weight control and therefore reduction in risk of chronic disease in the physician's office setting.

Sign Up for E-News

The main finding in a study done by Ashley et al, Meal Replacements in Weight Intervention, was that the use of one or two meal replacements daily promoted significantly improved weight loss and maintenance compared with a traditional diet plan. This finding is particularly encouraging because the markers for disease risk were improved in many patients.Therefore the study concluded that incorporating a meal replacement strategy into a traditional weight management program can improve food choice behavior and nutrient adequacy, while following a reduced energy intake.

Meal replacements work on a concept called stimulus narrowing. Clinical studies show that when people are given very few food choices, or even no food choices, it is easier to decrease the amount of calories they consume each day. By taking away the selection and preparation of foods, and reducing the vast array of available foods, people lose weight. The benefits of this type of diet are in the reduced calories, complete nutrition, and perhaps most importantly, in the ability to stick with the diet.

But meal replacements alone may not be sufficient. They have to be combined with behavioral, dietary and exercise counseling. Therefore it is important to join a comprehensive meal replacement program which offers support groups where patients share their concerns and experiences with weight loss efforts. These groups can be very therapeutic for many patients. In addition, giving handouts and exercises for patients to complete at home helps patients learn about their own eating styles and behaviors and therefore helps them not only lose weight in the short term but also keep the weight off in the long term.

At K Primary Care & Medical Nutrition Center, our comprehensive meal replacement program combines meal replacements with group counseling, mindfulness meditation and cooking classes. Please call 908-206-4676 to learn more about our meal replacement weight loss and lifestyle management programs.

Im not a fan of most quickie diet plans if long-term weight loss is what youre hoping to achieve. Following a strict diet is often a direct route to yo-yo dieting. However, there are certain long-term lifestyle changes you can make today that will help you reap weight-loss rewards by the end of the week.

The catechins in green tea have been shown to have a positive effect on both weight loss and weight maintenance. Not only that, but sipping throughout the day will also contribute to being properly hydrated, which is a well known factor to keeping your metabolism running at an optimum level.

As if you needed more reason to brew a cup, adding tea to your day can help contribute to developing a mindful morning routine. Youll be in a better mindset to stay on track towards your weight-loss goal, and take steps towards being your healthiest self. When adding in green tea, dont forget to ditch the soda (diet included).

Have you hit a weight-loss plateau even though you swear your workout routine is on point? To help drop your next couple of pounds, add stretching or foam rolling to your morning routine.

Rolling helps flush out your lymphatic system, congestion, inflammation and stimulate blood circulation. Self myofascial release with a foam roller post exercise has been shown to increase the range of movement in your joints. Most people ignore their lymphatic system, but it needs to function efficiently for the rest of your systems to work well (including your bodies ability to release excess fat stores). Incorporate 10-15 minutes a day to begin.

Current research shows this one to be pretty much a no-brainer when it comes to shedding unwanted weight. Processed sugar is directly linked to inflammation in the body, and inflammation is linked to all kinds of health issues. Any excess sugar consumed will eventually be stored as fat. Not only that, but if youre eating lots of sugar, theres a good chance its in conjunction with unhealthy fats (hello frosted donut).

Do a sugar cleanse. Cut out refined carbohydrates and obvious sugars (bye bye afternoon M&Ms and gummy worms), but also try to cut out any added natural sugars (think coconut sugar, honey and agave).

Studies show that eating protein for breakfast may help increase your satiety (how satisfied you feel) throughout the whole day, and may even prevent you from reaching for those late-night sweet snacks. But, dont stop at breakfast, get protein in at every meal.

Fat also contributes to your satiety, and can even help you burn fat. While I dont recommend going all out (control is key) be sure to get fat in consistently throughout the day (about 30 percent of your calories should come from fat). Eggs are a great way to start your day with a dose of protein and fat.

Or, start meal prepping in the first place! Dedicate an hour or two to prepping lots of roasted veggies on Sunday to eat throughout the week, or create something different than your same spinach salad you normally pack to bring to work every day (that you were already sick of two months ago).

Packed lunches of Greek yogurt marinated chicken over my favorite slim slaw are calling your name. Pack snacks, too. Prepping, chopping and slicing all of your veggies before the work week starts will have you crushing afternoon snack time.

When she was only 14, Mele Osai visited her doctor and received some surprising news she was insulin resistant. While she had been overweight for half of her life, she didn't realize it could impact her health at such a young age.

I didnt fully understand what insulin resistance was but I knew it could lead to diabetes, which made me scared for my future, Osai told TODAY, via email. When someone has insulin resistance, it means their muscles, fat and liver cells do not respond properly to insulin. They can't absorb glucose from the bloodstream and the body needs more insulin to help the glucose enter cells. This eventually can lead to type 2 diabetes and prediabetes.

At her heaviest, Osai weighed 297 pounds at 5 feet 7 inches tall. She loved eating and often grabbed junk food at the store. But her doctors wake-up call prompted a change. She started by cutting out sugary drinks, including flavored milks, milkshakes and the two liters of soda she consumed every day. Instead, she started drinking more water.

While cutting sugary beverages helped her shed pounds, she struggled with portion control. Shed regularly eat two or three sandwiches for a meal. She knew she needed to eat smaller meals to lose weight and she also cut processed foods, such as chips and candy. But she didnt just take away she added nutritious foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein.

I made sure to have balanced meals, she said. I've learned how to nourish my body and take care of it.

When she first started her weight-loss journey, the Sydney, Australia teen was too young to join a gym so she improvised. She lifted with old weights in her backyard and used an exercise bike at home. And, she walked as much as possible, a habit she still maintains. Shes since joined a gym where she is now focused on building muscle.

When Mele Osai was just 14 she learned she was insulin resistant. That inspired her to lose 143 pounds.

I lift weights at a gym and try and walk daily to stay fit, she said.

After committing to her goals, she started to see a change in how she felt.

I felt so much better physically and mentally, she said. My clothes were fitting better, my fitness levels improved and I saw other benefits, such as clearer skin and enhanced energy, which all made me want to keep going.

Making these changes led to huge results. In two years, Osai lost 143 pounds and now weighs 154 pounds and reversed her insulin resistance.

I am the healthiest I have ever been in my life, the now 16-year-old said. I am happy with where I am now.

In two years, Mele Osai lost 143 pounds and is the happiest and healthiest she's ever been.

Here are a few of her tips for those hoping to shed weight.

Hitting a plateau feels awful, but thats when people need to be kind to themselves, Osai said.

My biggest advice is to love yourself and not beat yourself up when things get tough, she said. Those times you feel like giving up, you have to realize how far you've come and the dark periods will pass.

The scale isn't always the best way to gauge progress. It's discouraging when you don't see the numbers on the scale move," she said. "It's good to take note of other changes. Progress photos, body measurements, how your clothes fit and most importantly how you physically feel are all good ways of measuring your progress."

When Osai was focused on losing weight she chose exercise and healthy eating habits that made sense for her. And thats why she believes she succeeded.

You must find a way that is sustainable and that means finding a diet that suits you and your lifestyle, and finding an activity you enjoy, she said.

When Mele Osai started her weight-loss journey she was too young to join a gym. Now, she lifts weights at her local gym to build muscle.

Going to the gym for an hour a day or spending time meal planning can feel selfish. But by caring for your health first, you are better able to do other things.

Transforming your life through weight loss includes many setbacks. Osai said when she thought of weight loss as a change in her overall well being, she could truly commit to it.

There are no quick fixes to weight loss, she said. Your health should be a long-term concern.
