The contest is being run to celebrate the new partnership between Trimcare and the growing new Las Vegas weight loss and spa services company Safe Laser Centers.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) October 04, 2012

The "WinShare" contest is called that way because it is based upon an innovative system that rewards social sharing in a way that allows participants to continuously increase their odds of winning during the course of the contest. What happens is that after entering the contest, a very simple one click process, participants are taken to special sharing page form which they can easily share the contest on social media and via email. At this point, for every person who enters the contest through this shared link, the sharer will automatically be awarded 10 additional entries that will be added to their total. Since there are no limits on extra entries or on the sharing timeframe (as long as the contest hasn't finished), prolific sharers can easily amass hundreds of entries to tilt the odds in their favor by having more tickets in the virtual raffle box.

Trimcare has been a pioneer in medically supervised weight loss treatment programs in Las Vegas for over 20 years. Founded by Dr. Ivan L. Goldsmith (triple board certified in the areas of Internal Medicine, Obesity, and Anti-aging),Trimcare is a leader in providing medically supervised weight loss programs. Trimcare has successfully treated over 20,000 patients in the past dozen years with novel obesity regimens designed to curb hunger, promote food avoidance, and extinguish binge or nighttime eating. Its program has successfully incorporated a proprietary brand of supplements, skin care products, food, weight loss programs, and hormone replacement therapies. As a leader in the integrated disciplines of weight loss and anti-aging therapies, Trimcare has been at the forefront of expanding awareness of the nation's Obesity Epidemic.

Safe Laser Centers sees the association with Dr. Goldsmith as a great opportunity to bring new weight programs to the people of Las Vegas. Spearheaded by Kristine Castro, a newcomer to the area who brings to the table expertise with the i-Lipo system and her extensive experience as a massage therapist. "I-Lipo works by delivering low level laser therapy to induce a chemical signal in fat cells that causes them to break down stored triglycerides or fats into free fatty acids and glycerol, which are released through the cell membranes," explains Castro. "Fat content is then released into the blood and transported around the body to tissues where it will be burned off during a period of post-treatment."

By targeting different areas in the body, patients can decide their own priorities such as choosing, for example, to focus on treating their love handles and/or saddle-bag regions. The low level lasers used in the i-Lipo treatment induce the target area to release fat even before exercise is begun. Designed to be used in tandem, the novel medical regimens used at Trimcare, consisting of Phentermine and Topamax, enable patients to make the lifestyle modifications needed to not only promote weight loss, but aid in the difficulties associated with weight maintenance. According to Dr. Goldsmith, Our patients notice the effects almost immediately. The combined therapies successfully cause a decreasing waist circumference, declines in % body fat, and lost pounds. When thus combined, it is not unusual for Trimcare patients to achieve a greater-than-10% weight loss in 90 days which far exceeds what is seen with diet and exercise alone.

Goldsmith and Castro envision expanding the association into other medical facilities and also stand alone clinics both within and outside Las Vegas and hope that this "WinShare" contest will help them show off the amazing non-invasive weight loss and body makeover capabilities of the partnership. The two businesses are passionate about their philosophy of promoting lifestyle style changes, including diet and exercise, as the cornerstone of any successful weight-loss attempt along with the notion of truly minimally invasive therapies or treatment; avoiding procedures like bariatric and plastic surgeries where the attendant risks are much greater for post-op complications and problems. The two companies also seek to facilitate access, offering financing though CareCredit.com

Both companies stress that weight loss needs to be tailored to individual patient needs. According to Kristine Castro, "i-Lipo combined with the Trimcare weight loss regimen allows most patients to take advantage of this treatment with minimum difficulties and provides safe, long term reproducible results as well as immediate effects that achieve a dramatic reshaping of body and reduction of cellulite." Significant results from Trimcare combined with i-Lipo commonly become apparent in as little as 30 days and the system is far less costly than liposuction while involving no pain, needles or downtime. "This is truly remarkable in its simplicity and we can't wait for more people to experience it for themselves," adds Castro. The "WinShare" contest runs from October 1st through October 31st .

(Reuters) - An experimental treatment for type 2 diabetes developed by Johnson & Johnson proved effective at reducing blood sugar in patients on long-term insulin therapy and at high risk for heart problems, according to a study presented on Tuesday.

The drug, canagliflozin, also led to clinically meaningful drops in blood pressure and weight loss, both of which should be beneficial for diabetics at an elevated risk of heart problems, researchers said.

"It's always a challenge to try and reduce weight, reduce blood glucose, reduce blood pressure and here you've got an agent which will help you to reduce weight, blood sugar and blood pressure all in one go," David Matthews, one of the study's lead researchers, said in a telephone interview.

The data, from an 18-week sub-study of more than 1,700 patients, was culled from a much larger Phase III trial called Canvas that was part of J&J's application package submitted earlier this year seeking U.S. and European approval for canagliflozin. If approved, it would be the diversified healthcare conglomerate's first diabetes medicine.

Patients in the sub-study, which compared the drug at doses of 100 milligrams or 300 mg to placebo, suffered from type 2 diabetes on average for 16 years and were on insulin therapy for an average of seven years, having progressed from other medicines. More than half had a history of prior heart attacks, strokes or vascular problems.

After 18 weeks of daily treatment, A1C - a common measure of blood sugar - was reduced by 0.65 percent in patients taking 100 mg of canagliflozin and by 0.73 percent at 300 mg versus virtually no change on placebo.

"These are clinically significant drops, no doubt about it," said Matthews, a professor of diabetes at the Oxford Centre for Diabetes, Endocrinology & Metabolism in Oxford, England.

The results were presented at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) meeting in Berlin.

Patients on canagliflozin experienced modest increases in both bad LDL cholesterol and good HDL cholesterol. The increase in LDL could be a cause of concern for heart patients, but might be balanced somewhat by the HDL increase, Matthews said.

The J&J drug also led to statistically significant reductions in systolic blood pressure at both doses (-2.6 mmHg and -4.4 mmHg), as well as reductions in diastolic blood pressure, or both ends of the blood pressure reading.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Medical Daily reports that the right mindset is a crucial part of achieving weight loss success. According to the article, stress management, a clear understanding of why weight loss is important, and long-term goals are all integral to achieving weight-loss objectives. Hydroxycut, the number one best-selling weight-loss supplement brand in America, agrees that mental preparation is imperative to achieving fitness goals.

The article asserts: "We focus a lot on what we should eat, what we should not eat, what type of exercise we should do; of course, these are all vital parts of the equation, but if we fail to work on our inner worldour mindsuccess will elude us. True weight loss and changes to your lifestyle depend on making the right choices and you need to prime your mind to make them rather than the ones that lead to failure."

To do this, the article encourages individuals to manage their stress, understand why they are making certain decisions, forgive themselves, and maintain a long-term perspective. Reduced stress, the article asserts, can allow individuals to maintain an interest in a healthy lifestyle. Additionally, stress management techniques can help individuals feel more empowered and make choices that are less destructive to their bodies.

Likewise, understanding why individuals want certain things can help them change their behavior. The article states: "The more you examine why you want something, the more you will be motivated to get it. You will realize how important it is to you and you will make a commitment to getting it."

Of course, the path to weight loss is filled with obstacles, and mistakes are often made. Forgiving oneself and remaining focused on long-term goals can assist in avoiding these mistakes in the future. By learning from them, rather than punishing oneself for them, individuals can create a more successful weight-loss strategy.

Hydroxycut asserts that, by eliminating any obstacles that stand between an individual and their weight-loss goals, they will have a better chance of losing weight. Mental preparation allows them to overcome many of the challenges that weight loss will present.

Minnesota’s 50,000 Pound Weight Loss Challenge

There is no shortage of fad workout diets on the market, but hCG Diets / Diet Doc Weight Loss Plans is proven to deliver better, long-term results, without all of the time consuming and often strenuous and joint damaging exercise.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 01, 2012

There is no shortage of fad workout diets on the market, but hCG Diets / Diet Doc Weight Loss Plans is proven to deliver better, long-term results, without all of the time consuming and often strenuous and joint damaging exercise.

An unfortunate occurrence for dieters is the recurring trend of fad exercise diets that promise dramatic body transformations yet rarely deliver. hCGTreatments / Diet Doc Weight Loss Plans offers a prescription strength hCG diet that is doctor monitored and proven to provide fast weight loss without complicated dance moves, extreme workouts, or physically demanding and exceedingly laborious fad workout plans. What the hCG diet offers that these fad workout diets do not is safe and effective weight loss without time consuming, and for many, physically risky weight loss routines.

With the hCG diet, there are no tricky dance moves to learn and no videos or propaganda to buy. Columbian dancer and choreographer, Alberto Perez created one of these fad exercise diets in the early '90s called Zumba. Celebrities often come out of the woodwork to be the next to endorse fad diets. Zumba has the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Kirstie Alley touting its effectiveness. Some people like to spend a lot of time and money being pushed to exhaustion with dance and aerobics.

Unfortunately, in order to receive the benefits of these fad exercises, one must be in relatively good physical shape already, with good internal and external health as well as good mobility. For many obese Americans, high impact or high intensity exercise is not an option due to mobility constraints. Julie Wright, CEO of Diet Doc explains that "Diet Doc manages people who are athletes, moderate exercisers or even just sedentary." A key to the hCG diets longstanding popularity and effectiveness is that it works just as well, providing fast weight loss without strenuous exercise. This enables those with health or mobility constraints to participate in improving their health. hCGTreatments.com offers a customized hCG diet, including prescription hCG that produces weight loss averaging a pound-per-day, even when exercise is not an option. Due to the low calorie hCG diet, extreme exercise is not recommended. But light exercise will only accelerate fast weight loss.

Diet Doc utilizes an individualized hCG diet designed to push the body into ketosis, a state at which the body is burning fat stores at optimal levels. The high protein diet prescribed by Diet Doc is similar to that of athletes. Advancements in nutrition and hCG diets however now allow dieters to consume 700-1250 high-protein calories per day. This amount of caloric intake is over twice the amount allowed by the hCG diets discovers, Dr. Simeons. This increase in calories quells the hCG diets number one criticism, that 500 daily calories is not enough to sustain health. Diet Doc has utilized advancements in nutritional science to increase caloric intake while maintaining the fast weight loss that is characteristic of the hCG diet. Patients do not feel hungry or tired while on the updated hCG diet from Diet Doc.

According to allpointsmedicine.com, "A typical Zumba workout burns between 500 and 1,000 calories but [it] doesnt feel like it because Zumba is so much fun!" Having fun during the weight loss process is indeed important. What is more fun than losing weight fast though? The hCG is fun because when clients step on the scale, they see that their weight is falling so fast they cannot help but get excited. For Dieters who want to get serious about weight loss -weight that leaves and doesn't return- the hCG diet is proven to provide much more dramatic results than Zumba or any other fad or fleeting exercise trend of the moment. A major drawback of fad diets, the reason that they are often considered ineffective is because once the client stops having fun, stops seeing fast weight loss, or the workout becomes too physically demanding or time consuming, the client quits. With a customized diet from hCGTreatments, there is no hard work to grow weary of, no classes to plan life around, and exciting weight loss to keep clients interested. Diet Doc conducted a survey revealing that clients routinely lose an average of 1 pound of unsightly fat per day without any tricky dancing or karate moves.

Some new research tried to figure out what might help post-menopausal women achieve long-term weight loss. And it turns out that adding produce to their diet didnt show up as especially helpful in the short term, but in the long term it mattered.

The researchers didnt find that eating fried chicken was just fine as long as it came with a side of broccoli. What they found was that some behaviors are hard to maintain forever, and adding produce might be easier than avoiding all fried foods for the long haul.

People are so motivated when they start a weight-loss program. You can say, Im never going to eat another piece of pie, and you see the pounds coming off, Bethany Barone Gibbs, the lead investigator, said in a statement. Eating fruits and vegetables may not make as big a difference in your caloric intake. But that small change can build up and give you a better long-term result, be-cause its not as hard to do as giving up French fries forever.

The study, published last week in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, looked at overweight post-menopausal women.

Barone Gibbs, an assistant professor at the University of Pittsburgh department of health and physical activity, said several fac-tors work against long-term weight loss.

Not only does motivation decrease after you start losing weight, there are physiological changes, including a decreased resting metabolic rate. Appetite-related hormones increase. Researchers studying the brain are now finding that you have enhanced re-wards and increased motivation to eat when youve lost weight, she says.

For older women, the additional decline in energy expenditure makes maintaining weight loss even tougher. Traditional behavioral treatments for obesity, focused on calories, have had poor long-term results.

A group of 508 women from the Pittsburgh area were divided into two, one group of which met regularly with nutritionists, exer-cise physiologists and psychologists to reduce fat and caloric intake, eat more produce and grains and exercise regularly. The second group was offered some general health seminars.

The researchers looked at what happened after six months and after four years. At four years, most of the intervention group had lost some weight, compared with about a third of the other group. Barone Gibbs noted that the women all had wanted to lose weight and sought help.

For the six-month mark, the researchers found that weight loss was associated with eating fewer desserts and fried foods, drink-ing fewer sugar-sweetened beverages, eating more fish and eating out less.

WASHINGTON The Food and Drug Administration has approved Arena Pharmaceutical's anti-obesity pill Belviq, the first new prescription drug for long-term weight loss to enter the U.S. market in over a decade.

Despite only achieving modest weight loss in clinical studies, the drug appeared safe enough to win the FDA's endorsement, amid calls from doctors for new weight-loss treatments.

The agency cleared the pill Wednesday for adults who are obese or are overweight with at least one medical complication, such as diabetes or high cholesterol.

The FDA denied approval for Arena's drug in 2010 after scientists raised concerns about tumors that developed in animals studied with the drug. The company resubmitted the drug with additional data earlier this year, and the FDA said there was little risk of tumors in humans.

With U.S. obesity rates nearing 35 percent of the adult population, many doctors have called on the FDA to approve new weight loss treatments.

But a long line of prescription weight loss offerings have been associated with safety problems, most notably the fen-phen combination, which was linked to heart valve damage in 1997. The cocktail of phentermine and fenfluramine was a popular weight loss combination prescribed by doctors, though it was never approved by FDA.

In a rare move, the FDA explicitly stated in a press release that Belviq "does not appear to activate" a chemical pathway that was linked to the heart problems seen with

The FDA says the drug acts on a different chemical pathway in the brain, which is believed to reduce appetite by boosting feelings of satiety and fullness.

Belviq is one of three experimental weight-loss drugs whose developers have been trying for a second time to win approval, after the FDA shot them all down in 2010 or early 2011 because of serious potential side effects.

Vivus Inc.'s Qnexa is thought to be the most promising of the drugs, achieving the most weight loss. But the FDA has delayed a decision on that pill until July.
