Columbia, SC (PRWEB) September 14, 2012
Diet Doc announces medical weight management program inspired by Dr. Oz Diet that gives healthy and fast weight loss results, naturally. Diet Doc creates a new doctor designed diet program that helps people lose weight fast. Diet Doc Dieters report an average of 30 pounds of weight loss per month.
Dr. Oz is known as Americas doctor because he covers a wide-range of health topics that anyone can relate to. He recently did an interview with People magazine to share his eating habits that helps him stay healthy. He understands the mentality behind the millions of people who enjoy the SAD (standard American diet) because he was once a meat and potatoes kind of guy. Dr. Ozs awakening came during his teenage years stating by sixth grade, I was so slow I wasnt even picked for kickball anymore. Even intellectually I wasnt feeling quick. He has since reformed his diet to a more simple one that helps him function at the top of his game. Now, with over 1.2 million viewers of his nationally syndicated talk show, he is working to encourage Americans to follow his lead. He says most of America is living at 20 percent of who they could be. I want to get everyone to appreciate what living at 90 percent could be like. Oz advises people to always have healthy options like fresh fruit and vegetables on hand to avoid turning to junk foods for snacks. He also doesnt eat much meat saying I'm 90 percent vegetarian.
Diet Doc created a new a diet plan that is similar to the Dr. Oz diet that is prescribed by a doctor and created by a nutritionist. The diet consists of the same foods that is found in Ozs own pantry such as lean proteins, green leafy vegetables and fibrous fruits. The diet allows a healthy and manageable amount of calories and is proven to be easy to follow. Most will find that transitioning into a healthy diet is difficult but Diet Doc provides the essential support system that makes and easy fool-proof way to ensure weight loss success. Each of their patients are assigned a weight loss counselor who follows up with a weekly progress call. They also provide a number of tools that will help create an awareness of eating habits.
The hCG diet, which was also reviewed and approved by Dr. Oz, has been around for over 50 years. Oz released a report on the diet which stated that subjects in the hCG group lost more weight that the placebo group and preserved more muscle, that is essential to metabolism and overall weight loss, proving that hCG helps someone lose weight differently and better than diet alone because it spares muscle.
Diet Doc offers their hCG by prescription only, making them one of the only legit providers in the U.S. he only company that uses a specially formulated hCG that is enhanced with vitamin B-12. They also only offer diet plans, weight loss supplements and vitamins that have been scientifically proven to be safe and effective. This weight loss program is known to help dieters lose weight fast, some claiming to lose up to one pound a day. Inspired by the Dr. Oz diet, Diet Docs hCG diet is proven to be a natural, safe and effective way to lose weight.

Eating a high fat diet can 'prevent obesity and improve your metabolism'
Diet Comments Off on Eating a high fat diet can 'prevent obesity and improve your metabolism'
Timing of food consumption takes precedence over the amount of fat contained in the food This, scientists claim, leads to improved metabolism and helping to prevent obesity

It's welcome news for anyone who has ever tried to shift a few pounds.
Eating a high fat diet can actually prevent obesity and improve your metabolism, according to a study.
After tests on mice, researchers found eating a high fat diet on a fixed schedule - eating at the same time for the same length of time each day - leads to a reduction in body weight and a unique metabolism.
Down to timing: Eating a high fat diet can actually prevent obesity and improve your metabolism, according to a study
Previous research has revealed disrupting mammals daily rhythms, or feeding them a high fat diet, disrupts metabolism and leads to obesity.
However, scientists say eating on a schedule leads to a metabolism where ingested fats are not stored, but used for energy at times when food is not available.
And improving metabolism through careful scheduling of meals, without limiting the amount of food, could be used to prevent obesity in people.

Fitness center to open Nov. 1.
Fitness Comments Off on Fitness center to open Nov. 1.
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal The community will be able to use the Lockport High School fitness center starting Nov. 1.
District officials decided Wednesday to open the fitness center to locals, as a result of the success Lockport had with the program last year. Athletic Director Patrick Burke said 353 signed up and were issued identification cards, which are needed to enter the fitness center and use the equipment.
Board of Education members decided to open the center to the public last January. Residents used the facility from Feb. 1 until May 24, typically three hours a night Mondays through Thursdays, for a total of 54 days. The fitness center was closed on Fridays, weekends and holidays.
The days wont change this time around, meaning the center will be open for 87 days. That will feature an increase in cost, Burke reported to board members Wednesday.
Last year, the fitness center cost about $2,700 total to operate, roughly $180 a week. With 87 days, the increase would be roughly $1,200 more, an estimated $3,900.
Still, trustees were clearly in favor of opening the fitness center early. Board Secretary Jon Williams said he used the fitness center a number of times, as did other adults and students.
It is a nice facility, he said.
There was a life, an energy there, Trustee Edward Sandell said.
Burke did share a concern. Some of the equipment is in need of updating, the athletic director said. Board members asked Burke to put together options for replacing the equipment, including a possible leasing of machines.
While setting up the fitness center program last year, Assistant Superintendent for Finance Deborah Coder said the district met with its insurance provider about possible liability. That led to each participant signing a waiver, a risk assessment form, signifying the persons doctor had OKd it. The waiver is turned in to the high school or district office and an ID card is given to the participant. All participants must fill out a new waiver, even if they are a returning member.

Study: Losing weight is harder for kids
Lose Weight Comments Off on Study: Losing weight is harder for kids
If youve ever tried to lose weight, you know how much effort it takes to shed even a few pounds.
But for kids, losing weight is harder than most people realize.
A new study published in the Pediatrics medical journal says overweight teenagers are eating less than their healthy peers, but still weigh more.
Its kind of a backwards realization towards childhood obesity.
Overweight teenagers are already consuming fewer calories than their peers, but according to doctors and dietitians, once kids are overweight, shedding those unwanted pounds takes more than cutting back on calories.
And while its not a surprise to find out a childs weight is caused by what they eat and how much they eat.
But when it comes to losing those pounds, thats not as simple.
"It takes a lot of calories to get there, but it doesn't take a lot of calories to maintain and that even extends into adulthood, said Pediatrician Dr. Kaye Sykes.
After analyzing more than 19,000 children from toddlers to teens, researchers found out obese girls ages 12 to 14 eat 110 fewer calories while obese boys ages 15 to 17 consume 375 fewer calories than their heavy weight peers.
While it sounds surprising, doctors say theres more to losing weight than just cutting calories.

A carefully scheduled high-fat diet resets metabolism and prevents obesity, researchers find
Diet Comments Off on A carefully scheduled high-fat diet resets metabolism and prevents obesity, researchers find
ScienceDaily (Sep. 12, 2012) New research from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem shows that a carefully scheduled high-fat diet can lead to a reduction in body weight and a unique metabolism in which ingested fats are not stored, but rather used for energy at times when no food is available.
The research was conducted by Prof. Oren Froy along with Prof. Zecharia Madar, research student Yoni Genzer and research fellow Dr. Hadas Sherman at the Institute of Biochemistry, Food Science and Nutrition, at the Hebrew University's Robert H. Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environment. The results were published in The FASEB Journal under the title "Timed high-fat diet resets circadian metabolism and prevents obesity".
Previous research has established that disrupting mammals' daily rhythms, or feeding them a high-fat diet, disrupts metabolism and leads to obesity. The researchers wanted to determine the effect of combining a high-fat diet with long-term feeding on a fixed schedule. They hypothesized that careful scheduling of meals would regulate the biological clock and reduce the effects of a high-fat diet that, under normal circumstances, would lead to obesity.
For 18 weeks they fed a group of mice a high-fat diet on a fixed schedule (eating at the same time and for the same length of time every day). They compared these mice to three control groups: one that ate a low-fat diet on a fixed schedule, one that ate an unscheduled low-fat diet (in the quantity and frequency of its choosing), and one that ate an unscheduled high-fat diet.
All four groups of mice gained weight throughout the experiment, with a nal body weight greater in the group that ate an unscheduled high-fat diet.
The mice on the scheduled high-fat diet had a lower final body weight than the mice eating an unscheduled high-fat diet. But surprisingly, the mice on the scheduled high-fat diet also had a lower final body weight than the mice that ate an unscheduled low-fat diet, even though both groups consumed the same amount of calories.
In addition, the mice on the scheduled high-fat diet exhibited a unique metabolic state in which the fats they ingested were not stored, but rather utilized for energy at times when no food was available, such as between meals.
According to Prof. Froy, "Our research shows that the timing of food consumption takes precedence over the amount of fat in the diet, leading to improved metabolism and helping to prevent obesity. Improving metabolism through the careful scheduling of meals, without limiting the content of the daily menu, could be used as a therapeutic tool to prevent obesity in humans."

Fitness author brings multiple disciplines to his craft
Fitness Comments Off on Fitness author brings multiple disciplines to his craft
Dr. D. Levi Harrison, an orthopedic surgeon and UC Davis Medical School graduate, visited his alma mater in August to talk to students about the role that fitness plays in medical education.
Harrison, who recently published a book titled "The Art of Fitness: A Journey to Self Enhancement" (Brio Press, $39.95, 232 pages) holds undergraduate degrees in electrical engineering and romance languages, and graduate degrees in physics and French in addition to his medical degree. He has a private practice as a hand specialist in Glendale.
Why did you decide to write a fitness book?
It's about letting people know that fitness and exercise are lifestyle choices that we have to make to not only have the aesthetic of looking healthy on the outside, which is the superficial part of fitness. I wrote the book so people can understand that fitness is from the inside out.
What makes your book different from other fitness books?
It's geared toward anyone of any fitness level. The book is about helping people to not only get healthy, but make lifestyle changes. The goals of the book aren't about achieving an aesthetic. The goals are to decrease the rates of diabetes, hyper-tension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, cholesterolemia and obesity.
The book is really there to let people know that they shouldn't compare themselves to anybody. The goal is to remind people that your body is yours and that where you are today is a good place.
So if you're overweight, you're underweight, you're not very fit, that's OK. Every day you get to start the journey again.
Where do you think fitness education fits into today's medical school?
I definitely think fitness, health and nutrition should be a greater part of all medical school education.

Presidential fitness program switches focus to personal health
Fitness Comments Off on Presidential fitness program switches focus to personal health
CHAMPAIGN, ILL. A national program that promotes youth fitness is changing to emphasize health over performance and materials published by Champaign-based Human Kinetics will be part of the new program.
The President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition announced Monday it is replacing the President's Council Youth Fitness Test with the Presidential Youth Fitness Program.
The new program will use Fitnessgram, an assessment that reports on a student's individual health and fitness.
"It tells you how healthy you are, based on what you should be able to do for someone in your age group," Human Kinetics President Brian Holding said.
That's a change from the old youth fitness test, which compared a student's performance with those of his or her peers.
Fitnessgram software published by Human Kinetics for the Cooper Institute measures health-related fitness by evaluating cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and body composition.
Fitnessgram has been adopted by many metropolitan school districts, including those in New York City, Indianapolis and Miami, Holding said.
The software also has been adopted statewide by Texas, Georgia and Delaware and is used in much of North Carolina, he added.
Holding said it's estimated that two-thirds of the schools that do physical fitness testing have been using Fitnessgram, and the other one-third have been using the President's Council Youth Fitness Test.
But with the President's Council switching gears, all those schools stand to be using Fitnessgram, he said.

Diet Doc hCG Diet & Weight Loss Launches Their Prescription Strength hCG Drops
Diet Comments Off on Diet Doc hCG Diet & Weight Loss Launches Their Prescription Strength hCG Drops
(PRWEB) September 12, 2012
Diet Doc hCG Diet & Weight Loss launched their prescription strength hCG drops that are proven to be extremely effective in helping dieters lose weight quickly and safely without any adverse health effects. As the provider of the only medically supervised modern-day hCG diet in the USA, Diet Doc hCG Diet & Weight Loss has combined the effectiveness of their diet plan with the incredible weight loss potential of these prescription strength hCG drops. Patients neither experience any hunger nor complain of fatigue while they are on this low calorie diet.
The customized 700-1200 calorie diet menu is renowned for its safe and rapid weight loss effects. Dr. A.T.W. Simeons who discovered the hormone hCG (Human chorionic gonadotropin) in the 1950s observed that it not only helped regulate the development of the embryo but also helped a womans body access her fat stores instead of her muscles to feed her baby. Produced in the placenta during pregnancy, hCGs ability to help the human body access fat stores instead of muscle tissue in times of low calories made it an ideal weight loss aid for those who were looking for quick and healthy weight loss. The hormone is also used in boys who have delayed puberty and also to treat infertility in women.
Diet Doc hCG Diet & Weight Loss has completely revamped and updated the original hCG diet and the modern version now includes novel and innovative ways of delivery hCG to the body for maximum effect. Their prescription strength hCG drops have been formulated after through research and analysis along with extensive clinical studies to understand the effects of the drops and transform it into a powerful force that can help people combat their problem of obesity and prevent the health problems and other complications associated with it. Available only as painful injections per the old diet, the modernized hCG diet enables the painless and hassle free administration of hCG in the form of these sublingual drops that are known to outperform any non-prescription or homeopathic hCG drops that some retailers offer. The recommended dosage for patients is around 5 drops that need to be under the tongue and this is used in conjunction with the 700 to 1200 calories per day diet that enables dieters to lose weight quickly and easily.
In a recent announcement, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revealed that many of the homeopathic hCG formulations available in the market are not truly representative of pure hCG and are in fact ineffectual. They clearly defined what constitutes homeopathic remedies and stated that hCG drop s that have less than 0.01% hCG are not true homeopathic remedies. Most of these hCG products though marketed as homeopathic products are not even recognized in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia, thereby making them unapproved drugs per the FDA. At Diet Doc hCG Diet & Weight Loss, patients consume 5 drops under in conjunction with a restricted caloric intake of. hCG diet drops offer the same fast weight loss as the standard hCG plan (injections) but without the discomfort of daily shots. Along with Diet Doc's individually tailored diet plan, patients experience weight loss at an average rate of one pound-per-day. Studies reveal the newer hCG diet drops to be very successful in weight loss, making them very safe and extremely effective. This less invasive method of hCG delivery that always requires a prescription contains the required amount of hCG to trigger weight loss and the diet plan that is custom tailored to the patient's age, health level, and many other health factors further enhances the overall effect of hCG.

Mom's diet may up daughter's cancer risk
Diet Comments Off on Mom's diet may up daughter's cancer risk
Published: Sept. 12, 2012 at 1:06 AM
ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 12 (UPI) -- A diet that raises estrogen levels during pregnancy may raise breast cancer risk in daughters, granddaughters and great-granddaughters, U.S. researchers say.
Yue "Joseph" Wang of the Virginia Tech Research Center in Arlington and colleagues at Georgetown University said pregnant rats on a diet supplemented with synthetic estrogen or with fat -- which increases estrogen levels -- produce ensuing generations of daughters that appear to be healthy but harbor a greater risk for mammary cancer.
The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, said although the findings have not yet been validated in humans, the study shows that environmental damage may be passed from one generation to the next not via genetic mutations, but through "epigenetic" alterations that influence how genomic information is decoded.
"We have shown for the first time that altered DNA methylations modulated by specific diet in normal development are heritable and transgenerational," Wang said in a statement.
Virginia Tech researchers developed mathematical models and machine-learning techniques to analyze the changes in DNA methylation -- allowing cells with the same genome to perform different functions by adding chemical groups to DNA to turn some genes on and some genes off -- status in the descending daughters to understand how increased cancer risk is transmitted without genetic mutation.
"Ultimately, it might be possible to undo or prevent this harmful methylation and decrease the risk of breast cancer," Wang said.
