When it comes to diets that might help you lose potentially unhealthy pounds, there are certainly quite a few options. However, when it comes to the one that can result in significant and lasting weight loss, the keto diet may be your best bet, according to a new study.

In the study that was presented at the 8th International Scientific Symposium New Frontiers in Scientific Research from the PronoKal, via Medscape, patients were put on a keto diet that saw them consuming a mere 600 to 800 calories per day, which resulted in those involved both losing weight and maintaining that weight loss.

When it comes to why this low-calorie keto diet was effective, Ana Beln Crujeiras, principal investigator of the Health Research Institute of Santiago de Compostela-Galician Health Service Group of Epigenomics in Endocrinology and Nutrition and the Biomedical Research Networking Center for Obesity and Nutrition Physiopathology, explained that in order "to achieve this metabolic state (ketosis), routes that require the combustion of fats are activated, and this induces body weight loss."6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e

Crujeiras added, "Our work has shown that the very-low-calorie ketogenic diet is effective for rapid weight loss and maintenance of lost weight, as well as reducing fat mass, primarily visceral fat mass."

Granted, "anyone who is put on a 600 to 800 calorie diet will lose weight regardless of if you are following a keto diet or a high-carb, low-fat diet," Kimberly Duffy, RDN, LD, CPT, tells Eat This, Not That!.

Duffy adds that 'the problem comes in maintaining the weight loss long term," saying that "the keto diet is one which cannot be sustained and when a person goes off the diet, weight regain can be quite rapid."

Beyond that, Duffy notes that "extreme restriction and guilt around food choices leads to binge eating and a dysfunctional relationship with food."

"As a dietitian, I don't recommend a low-calorie diet to anyone," Duffy adds, noting that she prefers to teach her clients to make "small changes which can become lifelong habits."

The #1 Diet to Lose Weight and Keep It Off, Says New Study Eat This Not That - Eat This, Not That

Known for her iconic role in the tear-jerking NBC show "This Is Us," Chrissy Metz has been fully open about her weight loss journey in real life, just like her character in the drama, Kate Pearson. All while being a successful actress, Metz would constantly think about her struggle on and off the screen with her weight, eventually leading to a 100-pound loss.

Although Metz no longer continues to let her weight interfere with her success, it was a long journey for her to be comfortable in her skin. During her weight loss efforts, she made some lifestyle changes to help shed the pounds. According to People, Metz lost 100 pounds by eating in a calorie deficit.

"All I did was eat a 2,000-calorie diet and walk 20 minutes a day," she told People.

Calorie imbalance is the number one cause of weight gain. Essentially, if you eat more calories than you are burning off, then you will end up gaining weight. Especially nowadays, we tend to eat more calorie-dense processed foods and fewer whole foods. We also sit down a lot, which doesn't help the weight gain. That's why eating fewer calories and moving (even for a short period) throughout the day can be beneficial for weight loss.

It's important to focus on the quality of the food and the quantity. It's essential to calculate your calories based on your basal metabolic rate. You can do this by finding your specific caloric needs before setting any kind of calorie deficit for weight loss. Overall, you know what and how much your body needs.

However, Metz's weight loss happened rapidly, within 5 months, because she became consumed with losing weight to make it in the acting world. Since then, she has thankfully become more comfortable in her skin, focusing on being healthy for herself instead of for the media.

Metz goes on to tell People that she is taking steps to lose weight. However, she clarifies that the stops along her weight loss journey are not for anybody but herself.

"I want to have a fit, healthy body and not have to be put in a box. I don't want to be limited by anything," Metz says in the interview.

As Metz continues to thrive in the acting industry (and soon to be singing industry), she has also shifted her mentality to more body positivity, not specifically focusing on numbers on the scale and not having a numbered weight loss goal on her mind.6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e

According to Women's Health, she spoke at the WrapWomen's Power Women Summit about dealing with pressure to lose weight.

"Whether I lose weight or I don't, I don't really hold onto like a number," Metz said at the summit. "I don't think that's important because who's to say what."

Metz then explains the importance of every individual determining what makes them happy and how to achieve that.

"It's going to take some time. There are some days where I'm like, 'I'm definitely eating my feelings.' Other days when my heart is full, I'm not hungry. Do I want to take care of my body and live a healthy life? Absolutely. That doesn't mean you can't do it at an unconventional size."

The #1 Eating Habit Chrissy Metz Had to Lose 100 Pounds Eat This Not That - Eat This, Not That

Losing weight can be a tough journey at any age, but it's important to note that it may become more difficult as you get older. For example, your metabolism begins to shift as you age, which plays a large role in how you lose and manage your weight loss goals.

If you're in your 50s and looking to lose weight, one of the first things you can make sure you're doing is eating a healthy breakfast! This truly is the most important meal of the day, and it will set you up for success throughout the rest of the day. Getting enough protein, fiber, and healthy fats in your first meal of the day can help you meet your weight loss goals in your 50s.

Continue reading to learn about some of the best breakfast foods for weight loss as you age, and for more healthy weight loss tips, check out 19 Weight Loss Foods That Really Work.

One of the most common breakfast staples, eggs are great for starting your morning off in a healthy way!

"Eggs contain protein and fat, both helping you curb your appetite throughout the morning and likely the day. Research suggests that those that eat 25 to 30 grams of protein in the morning are often satisfied with less later in the day. Pair eggs with a fiber carbohydrate like whole-grain toast or oats for a well-rounded breakfast," says Amy Goodson, MS, RD, CSSD, LD author of The Sports Nutrition Playbook and member of our expert medical board.

Greek yogurt is one of the healthier yogurt options on grocery store shelves because it usually comes with more protein and less added sugar.

"High in protein, Greek yogurt provides around 14 to 18 grams of protein for 6-ounces, depending on the brand. It also contains calcium and probiotics, which are essential for optimal health. Have a yogurt parfait, add it to whole-grain waffles or blend it into a smoothie for a protein-packed breakfast," says Goodson.

Oatmeal is a win in every way. It provides fiber that can keep you full, help with your digestion, and even help you manage your heart health. Not only that, but it can help with your weight loss goals as well.6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e

"I'm a firm believer in hitting your daily protein goals. If you're looking to get rid of belly fat, then eating enough protein is very critical to your success," says Courtney D'Angelo, MS, RD,author at Go Wellness. "You should aim to consume the same grams of protein in relation to your weight goal (if you want to be 140 pounds, you should aim to eat 140 grams of protein every day). Protein has many health benefits, and one of them is that it helps get rid of fat and build lean muscle. Oats are high in fiber, which will slow down digestion and keep you feeling full for longer, which in turn will prevent overeating throughout the day."

Nut butter on its own wouldn't be enough for breakfast, but it can be a great addition to many types of meals.

"Adding natural nut butter to your toast, oatmeal, or parfait can add some healthy fats and plant-based proteins that can help support satiety, which could possibly help you combat hunger pangs and take in fewer calories in the long run," says medical board expert Lauren Manaker, MS, RDN, author of The First Time Mom's Pregnancy Cookbook and Fueling Male Fertility.

And lastly, while not technically a food, green tea is packed full of health benefitsincluding helping to manage weight.

"Sipping on green tea can be a nice addition to your breakfast. As long as caloric sweeteners aren't added, green tea can support weight management thanks to the natural compounds it contains," says Manaker.

5 Best Breakfast Foods for Belly Fat Loss Over 50, Say Dietitians Eat This Not That - Eat This, Not That

Pesky belly fat can seem tough to get rid of. The unwanted excess weight you carry, although completely common, may seem like a burden at times. That's why you try to find ways to rid of belly fat, ranging in everything from how you workout to what you eat. Consuming certain food groups more than others may also seem like a vital option to help shrink the waistline.

Protein, for example, is an essential part of the diet. Getting your protein's correct daily intake can be great for the body, including leading to potential weight loss. Some proteins are more beneficial for this effect than others. According to Julie Upton, M.S., R.D., and member of our medical expert board, the best protein you can eat to help shrink belly fat are eggs.

"While no protein can shrink belly fat, high-quality protein can help increase satiety and reduce cravings to help you lose weight and belly fat," says Upton. "One of the best proteins to do that would be eggs."

According to Upton, eggs are the "gold standard" for high-quality protein, as they contain all 9 essential amino acids. Consuming all nine essential amino acids is important for your body because they help build muscles, cause chemical reactions in the body, transport nutrients and prevent illness, as well as carry out other functions.

A lack of amino acids in your body can result in decreased immunity and digestive problems. It can also lead to depression, fertility issues, lower mental alertness, and more. Therefore, eating eggs is your best option to ensure you're getting the proper nutrients.

"Eating an egg-based breakfast has also been shown to help keep people satisfied longer so they can more easily reduce how many calories they eat, to help them lose weight and belly fat," says Upton.

Specifically, egg yolks contain a nutrient called choline that is essential to calorie-burning metabolism. The yolk also consists of Vitamin D, which a 2018 study found that Vitamin D in your diet could potentially reduce belly fat.

Overall, getting your protein intake can come with many benefits. Along with building lean muscle, this includes helping to repair tissue, digest food, and regulate hormones.6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e

When it comes to losing belly fat, eating your protein in moderation can help maintain a healthy weight and curb hunger. According to research published in the Nutrition & Metabolism journal, eating protein will help keep the metabolism moving quickly, keep energy levels high, and keep you fuller for longer.

To get the best results, Upton suggests striving to get about 20 to 25 grams of protein at each of your main meals.

"There's no need to go overboard, as more is not going to necessarily be better, so keep your protein intake to three times a day at the recommended amounts," says Upton.

The #1 Best Protein to Eat to Shrink Belly Fat, Says Dietitian Eat This Not That - Eat This, Not That

Whether eaten as an entre or a side dish, rice is an incredibly versatile grain that serves as a staple food for more than half of the world's population.

Unfortunately, when thinking about weight loss-friendly meals, carbs, including rice, have taken on a bad rap. However, depending on the type and how it's prepared, rice can still be part of your weight loss plan and help you achieve your belly fat loss goals.

To get some recipe inspiration, we asked our medical expert board members Tammy Lakatos Shames, RDN, CDN, CFT, and Lyssie Lakatos, RDN, CDN, CFT, also known as The Nutrition Twins, to pick out some of the best rice dishes that can help shrink belly fat. Read on to see what these registered dietitians had to say. Then, for more recipes, check out the 8 Best Protein Smoothie Recipes to Help Lose Abdominal Fat.

Made with cooled or chilled brown rice, this recipe can help promote belly fat loss, as the resistant starch that forms during the rice's cooling process has been found to increase fat burning and reduce fat storage in the body, The Nutrition Twins explain.Additionally, the dish is teeming with anti-inflammatory ingredients like olive oil, ginger, kale, asparagus, and broccoli.

"This is a big deal because chronic inflammation is linked to weight gain, as well as more difficulty in losing weight," The Nutrition Twins say.

One of the best parts about making your own sushi at home is that you have complete control over what goes in it. Like the faux fried rice recipe, these easy-to-make rolls call for cold brown rice. The Nutrition Twins note that this type of rice "contains more fiber than traditional [white] rice, which means it slows down digestion and keeps you feeling full longer." Plus, the resistant starch found in cold rice has been found to support a healthy gut microbiome, which has been linked to lower levels of body fat.6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e

In addition to offering a good source of fiber, these rolls are loaded with protein17 grams to be exact.

"Salmon, like allprotein-rich foods, helps to regulate hormones that control appetite and helps you to feel satisfied," The Nutrition Twins say.

As a bonus, the salmon offers plenty of omega-3 fatty acids, which are celebrated for their ability to reduce inflammation, boost cognitive function, and promote heart health.

Get the recipe from The Nutrition Twins.

With protein and fiber being two essential components of a weight loss-supporting meal, this nutrient-dense recipe covers all of your bases.

"The carrots, mushrooms, kimchi, and scallions bring the fiber, while the eggs provide protein," The Nutrition Twins say. "Kimchi shines when it comes to weight loss and may be especially beneficial for helping obese people to decrease body weight, body mass index, body fat percent, and waist-hip ratio."

Get the recipe from The Healthy Maven.

Who says you can't eat dessert when you're trying to lose weight? This simple, sweet, and creamy brown rice pudding is a healthier take on the classic dessert, thanks to the unprocessed whole grain rice.

"Plus, it contains cinnamon, which helps to stabilize blood sugar, preventing energy highs and lows that typically result in overdoing it on sugar, as the body craves the quickest energy source it can findsugar," The Nutrition Twins say.

Beyond blood sugar management, cinnamon has also been found to help lower inflammation, reduce the risk of disease, and aid in weight loss.

Get the recipe from The Nutrition Twins.

Cauliflower has been having a moment over the past few years. And one of its most popular iterations is the star of this low-carb dish: cauliflower rice.

"Cauliflower rice is a no-brainer for weight loss hopefuls with its sweet, delicious flavor, a texture similar to rice, but only 25 calories per cup, compared to 200 calories in a cup of rice," The Nutrition Twins say. "And the waistline savings really add up given that most people have more than a cup."

Aside from being low-calorie, cauliflower is chock-full of weight loss-promoting fiber, which is also found in the carrots, onions, and bell peppers. Meanwhile, the eggs and edamame provide protein to increase satiety.

Get the recipe from Well Plated by Erin.

Whether you're pressed for time or simply don't feel like whipping up an elaborate meal, this dish will do just the trick, only requiring 30 minutes. Warm and comforting, this vegetable rice soup is packed with fibrous vegetables like carrots, onions, and celery.

"One of the real beauties of this rice recipe is that research shows that when you eat a low-calorie soup before a meal, it can help you reduce your total calorie intake at that meal by 20% compared to not eating the soup at all," The Nutrition Twins say.

We ranked the fat-burning meal replacement shakes on our list and used different criteria to identify a good meal replacement shake.

You should be able to lose fat while still getting enough essential vitamins and minerals.

We made sure that every meal-replacing shake we have listed uses only natural ingredients. We did not include any meal replacements that used artificial ingredients or flavors to make the product tasty.

Those meal replacement powders that used natural ingredients to provide you with plenty of vitamins and minerals ranked higher on our list.

These meal-replacing shake options contained unique healthy ingredients like monk fruit extract and green coffee bean extract.

Quality is everything that we look for. We are very particular about the weight loss shake being from a company that has maintained high-quality standards. There is no scope for lack of quality, and when we reviewed many meal replacement shakes, we ensured that they had maintained excellent quality.

Meal replacements are long-term commitments. When selecting the best meal replacement powders, it is essential to maintain high-quality standards, so there is no worry about missing out on the benefits of being exposed to poor-quality ingredients.

Our team preferred meal replacement shakes produced by companies who were entirely transparent about everything- right from the ingredients used to the customer feedback.

When you use meal replacement supplements, you are making a significant change to your diet. Transparency by meal-replacing shake companies is crucial because you need to know what you are ingesting.

As is evident, we altogether avoided those meal replacement shakes that used artificial ingredients. Every vegan meal replacement shake we have listed uses only natural plant products.

Anyone can make claims, but the advertised health benefits living up to expectations make many meal replacement shakes good. While one weight-loss shake might promise substantial growth of your muscle mass, yet another is rich in digestive enzymes.

We have ensured that our listed products live up to their claimed benefits. We did not encourage any fake or unwanted products- not on our watch!

The source of protein is an essential factor when judging and listing preferred meal replacement shakes. We liked those that comprised plant protein powder because it is more suitable for everyone.

The best meal replacement shakes to help you lose weight should ideally be plant-based protein powder because several studies indicate that plant protein sources are healthier than animal proteins.

Hemp protein is a common protein typically found in any good plant-based protein powder. Edestin and 2S albumin are the two proteins that make hemp protein derived from the cannabis plant and are rich in essential amino acids.

It is a common source of protein in most plant-based protein powders, and everyone might not prefer plant-based meal replacement shake powders containing hemp.

Protein derived from organic brown rice is a vegan protein. Brown rice protein is a plant-based source of protein. This is a typical ingredient included in plant-based protein powders that are vegetarian or vegan-friendly.

A plant-based protein powder rich in this type of protein can help you effectively reduce your body weight while improving your immunity and natural defenses against diseases.

Pea protein is a plant-based protein powder obtained from the pea plant, and organic pea protein is considered healthy. Other than pea protein, plenty of nutrients like vitamins and minerals can be derived from pea plants.

Pea protein is a vegan protein. Organic pea protein is an excellent source of proteins for vegetarians, vegans, and everyone else who prefers plant-based foods to others. This protein helps effectively improve muscle content in the body and is an excellent source of nutrients that help promote immunity.

Whey Protein might not be an excellent option for you if you are looking for an entirely plant-based protein shake. Therefore, whey is derived from milk and is not a perfect option for those who want purely vegan protein.

However, it is an excellent source of protein, and a whey protein shake is a perfect addition to meal replacement shakes. If you are open to consuming dairy products and plant-based protein, you can check out shakes with this type of protein.

Best Meal Replacement Shakes for Losing Weight on the Market - Islands' Sounder

Heart patients who are overweight or obese can be at risk of suffering another attack or heart problem. As per a new study, switching to THIS diet could help manage the outcome.

Written by Arushi Bidhuri | Updated : May 26, 2022 11:45 AM IST

Weight loss is strongly advised in overweight and obese individuals with coronary heart disease to improve blood pressure and lipid levels, as well as to reduce the chance of type 2 diabetes and hence the risk of another heart attack. A study published in the journal of the European Society of Cardiology found that over 10,000 individuals indicated that only about 20 per cent had a healthy BMI when they were admitted to the hospital for a heart attack.

86 per cent of patients who were obese during hospitalization remained obese 16 months afterwards, and 14 per cent of overweight patients had become obese. Obesity was particularly prevalent among young women, with over half of those under 55 years old being fat.

Diet plays an important role for a patient with heart problems. And it is even more crucial for heart patients who are overweight or obese. Another study by the European Society of Cardiology found that eating low glycemic index foods promotes a healthy body in patients with coronary heart disease. But how does it help?

The glycemic index (GI) assigns a score to carbohydrate-rich foods based on how quickly they raise blood sugar levels. Foods with a high GI produce a quick rise in blood sugar. Whereas low GI foods, such as apples, oranges, broccoli, and leafy greens, pulses like chickpeas, lentils, and kidney beans, and whole grains like brown rice and oats, digest slowly and increase your blood sugar levels as per the study. Also, several other studies have shown that high Gi diets can raise the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and more.

For the study, researchers randomly allocated 160 patients between the ages of 38-76 to either eat a low GI diet or a routine diet for three months. Both groups continued to receive normal coronary artery disease treatments. Patients in the low GI group were told to eat low GI foods and avoid high GI items while maintaining their protein and fat intake. The routine diet group was told to follow the coronary artery disease diet, which restricts fat and certain proteins such as whole milk, cheese, meat, egg yolks, and fried meals.

The researchers found that all body measurements in both groups had decreased by three months compared to baseline, however, the effects were only significant in the low GI group. The low GI diet resulted in significant decreases in BMI and waist circumference when the researchers evaluated changes between groups from baseline to study conclusion. The low GI group's BMI dropped by 4.2 kg/m2 compared to 1.4 kg/m2 in the regular diet group. In the low GI group, waist circumference was reduced by 9 cm compared to 3.3 cm in the regular diet group. Hip circumference and waist-to-hip ratio did not differ significantly across groups.

It's been known forever that when you're trying to lose weight, aerobic exercise is an essential part of your journey. Well, a new study from Edith Cowan University, performed at the Exercise Medicine Research Institute, reveals a total game-changer when it comes to shedding extra pounds. This recent research shows that resistance trainingaka weight trainingis just as effective when combined with a calorie deficit plan if you have weight you're trying to drop.

For adults who are trying to lose weight, getting in a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of intense aerobic exercise each week is recommended by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Mayo Clinic explains that this exercise, paired with cutting down on calories, is an ideal way to drop some pounds. In addition, the new research expands on the importance of resistance training when it comes to weight loss, fat mass, and muscle mass.

Pedro Lopez, lead researcher and PhD student explains, "Usually when we talk about obesity, body composition or weight loss, we only hear about aerobic exercise. This paper shows we can use resistance training and achieve meaningful effects with a diet based on caloric reduction. We can reduce body fat percentage, whole-body fat mass, body weight and BMI."

The effects of weight training, compared to aerobic exercise, are very similar when coupled with a calorie deficit in obese or overweight adults. Lopez goes on to stress there are other choices to lose weight in addition to aerobic exercise.6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e

It can be distressing or overwhelming for some individuals to consider hitting a bike or treadmill for a half-hour or more. Bearing one's entire body weight to perform aerobic workouts can potentially cause injury to the joints, ligaments, knees, and more. If that's a concern, it's exciting to know that weight lifting can help achieve successful weight loss goals, too.

Lopez also points out the extra benefit of implementing a weight workout regimen in your journey to a new size. He says, "The study also showed resistance training was effective in avoiding losing muscle mass when lowering the number of calories being consumed."

If you didn't already know, once you hit 30, you can lose anywhere from 3% to 5% of muscle mass every 10 years. Progressive resistance training can help form muscle mass, no matter how old you are, according to Dr. Thomas W. Storer (via Harvard Health).

5 best fitness apps to help you lose weight and keep fit - India TV News

The first option in getting into and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is incorporating a good diet and exercise routine into your daily living.

In some cases, weight loss surgery becomes an option or necessity for those who need to turn that healthy corner to not just stay healthy but alive.

There is a roadmap of sorts to follow to try and exhaust all options before surgery is an option in trying to turn the corner and thrive in healthy living.

"The problem with having the extra weight or being in the overweight/obese category is that it comes along with having a higher likelihood of developing medical conditions -- like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heartdisease, arthritis, lung problems -- so the goal with healthy eating and exercise and weight loss surgery is to help people lose the weight, get down to a healthier weight category and therefore reduce the chances of developing some of those medical conditions,"Dr. Dena G Arumugam, M.D., Bariatric Surgeon, General Surgeon at Jersey Shore University Medical Center with Hackensack Meridian Health, tells Townsquare Media News.

On the dietary front, Dr. Arumugam encourages you to incorporate less processed foods into your day and week, meaning foods that have less sugar or any kind of added or processed sugars, and then cutting out things like soda and sugary juices.

Food-wise, high-lien proteins are your best bet so that means including some fish, eggs, chicken, turkey, and low-fat beef, and also, Dr. Arumugam recommends cutting out a lot of the carbs and starches as well.

"Those are good places to start for healthy eating," Dr. Arumugam said. "Increase the amount of vegetables you eat, fruits are good too but they have sugars in them but natural sugars are obviously better than processed sugars."

Much like lifting weights or other fitness goals, you're not going to lose excess weight or see dramatic results overnight -- unless you're Tim Allen's character in Santa Claus 2.

Be patient and trust the process.

"I would say, start out small, make small changes that are easy for you to achieve. If you drink a lot of soda, cut out the soda or if you drink a lot of juice, cut out the juice, if you don't exercise at all, then start with small amounts of exercise -- that means 10-minutes a day. I tell all my patients, that everyone has 10-minutes a day, an hour a day going to the gym is hard, but if you can put in 10-minutes a day -- some fast walking or some weight lifting or something like that -- in your house, then do it, because you're going to find that the 10-minutes, after a few weeks, is too easy for you and you want to do more, it's the same with dieting, make the small changes with the ultimate goal that there are just big lifestyle changes," Dr. Arumugam said. "Healthy weight loss happens over time, those are not things that are going to happen overnight, those are not healthy weight loss plans."

Whether your goal is to lose a few pounds, many pounds, or are trying to turn the corner into a healthier lifestyle overall, know that it takes time and is possible.

If or when surgery does become an option for you, there are a few things to consider before making that decision.

"As far as surgery goes, we encourage our patients to try to lose weight prior to surgery, they don't necessarily have to, that's why they're there, that's why they're trying to get surgery because it's hard for them to lose weight," Dr. Arumugam said.

Once you commit to this option of having weight loss surgery, it's important to note, that there is a process involved here as well.

"The process takes anywhere from 2-6 months or so, depending on insurance, and during that process -- we talk to the patients about the potential for changing some of those lifestyle habits to lose some weight prior to surgery, we have them get evaluated with a nutritionist as well which helps with that process, and then we put them through a thorough medical workup," Dr. Arumugam said. "We want to make sure that their heart is healthy enough, their lungs are healthy enough and any other pertinent medical conditions will not interfere with the safety of the surgery."

That's the pre-operation process, then comes the operation itself.

"As far as the different types of surgery go, all surgeries are done laparoscopically now, so we do them with little tiny incisions which makes the recovery a lot faster, easier, there's less pain, less chance of infections, and usually just a one night stay at the hospital," Dr. Arumugam said. "There are three main types of surgery we do for weight loss: the gastric banding, the sleeve gastrectomy, and the gastric bypass."

The sleeve gastrectomy involves, "cutting and stapling about 70-percent of the stomach, removing it from the body -- and by doing that, we're decreasing the amount of food that someone is able to eat in a given time because the stomach volume is smaller, you feel full very quickly, and it also decreases the hormone that tells your brain you're hungry, so you actually feel less hungry after surgery."

The gastric bypass involves, "changing the anatomy of the intestines, we actually re-route the intestines so that the way that your body digests and absorbs nutrients changes and that's where the weight loss comes into play."

While it has a track record of working well, the gastric bypass is not as popular now as the sleeve gastrectomy, and there's also a risk it could lead to other health problems down the line, as it has there is a risk, "for more potential complications for the rest of your life after the anatomy has changed on the inside."

There's also more to the risk vs. reward in getting any type of weight loss surgery as well.

"The main thing is that we look at whether the operations can improve your medical conditions and how well the weight loss is going to be and for those two operations that we're still doing today, the bypass and the sleeve, the weight loss results are very similar. We expect people to lose about 65-percent of their excess weight -- that means if they're 100-pounds overweight, about 65-percent of that/about 65-pounds, and the two operations are fairly similar there and with that reduction, we see a lot of improvements in diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, sleep apnea, things like that," Dr. Arumugam said. "As far as the risks go with the surgery -- the main risks are things like poor healing on the inside where you could get serious infections inside the abdomen, intestinal blockages, scar tissue, blood clots -- things like that that we worry about. Generally speaking, weight loss surgery is very safe actually, serious complications happen 1-2 percent of the time, so pretty infrequently."
