Zafgen starts comeback with first data on replacement weight loss drug – FierceBiotech
Posted: May 6, 2017 at 12:41 am
Less than a year ago, Zafgen was poleaxed by the failure of its lead weight loss drug beloranib, shedding staff as its share price tumbled. Now, the Boston biotech is back with the first data on a follow-up it hopes will put it back on track.
Zafgen's phase 1 data is for ZGN-1061, a fumagillin-class MetAP2 inhibitor like the ill-fated beloranib, which was placed under an FDA clinical hold before being shelved by the company last July. Patients receiving the drug in trials showed a greater tendency to develop blood clots and there were two deaths.
ZGN-1061 has been billed as a second-generation MetAP2 inhibitor that avoids the thrombotic side effects of its predecessor, and Zafgen now has the first safety data to back up that claim. The phase 1 trial revealed "no evidence of prothrombotic effects", it says, adding that patients also shed weight at a rate of around one pound per week and seemed to have improved blood sugar control.
There were no cases of blood clots or clinically meaningful increases in coagulation biomarkers over the course of the study, which involved 39 patients who received a single ascending dose of ZGN-1061 and 29 subjects on multiple ascending doses over a four-week period, according to the biotech. The efficacy signals were in line with the early results seen with beloranib.
Armed with the data, Zafgen is planning to start a phase 2 trial of the new drug candidate in around 120 overweight or obese people with type 2 diabetes in Australia and New Zealand later this year, according to CEO Tom Hughes, who said the company ended the first quarter with around $117 million in cash and should end the year with more than $65 million in hand. Those reserves should take it through to the end of 2018, when it should have the phase 2 results in hand.
An SEC filing from Zafgen at the end of last month said that the experience with beloranib had allowed the company to develop a "clear and credible explanation for the differences we see for compounds like beloranib compared with compounds like ZGN-1061."
"These studies, informed by discussions with many of the top experts in the thrombosis field, have increased our confidence in the potential of ourZGN-1061program in specific, and our MetAP2 inhibitor platform in general," it continued.
Specifically, the company has shown that beloranib slowed the proliferation of the endothelial cells lining blood vessels and changes the expression of pro- and anti-clotting factors on their surfaces. ZGN-1061 avoids those effects, in part because it is cleared so rapidly from the blood.
The phase 1 results "mark an important first step in the clinical development of ZGN-1061, which has been optimized to improve glycemic control and body weight, with a favorable safety profile," said Hughes on a conference call.
Before the demise of beloranib, Zafgen was riding high on optimism that MetAP2 inhibitors could unlock the potential in the weight control market, which has been marked by a string of product failures both in development and after commercialisation.
Unlike most weight loss drugs which seek to curb appetite or bind dietary fat and clear it from the body before it is absorbed, MetAP2 inhibitors are thought to dial down the amount of fat produced and stored by the body.

Diet Doc’s New Carb Blocker Prescription Reduces Carb Absorption and Targets Belly Fat – Marketwired (press release)
Posted: May 6, 2017 at 12:40 am
JACKSON, MS--(Marketwired - May 05, 2017) - Low-carb diets have been all the rage for a number of years now as means of losing weight fast, but Diet Doc has developed an exclusive new prescription to combat the hazards of carbohydrate overload. Diet Doc Carb Blocker is designed to reduce body fat and prevent excess weight gain by blocking the absorption of carbohydrates and increasing starch excretion. The Diet Doc Carb Blocker has helped our patients reduce body weight and get rid of stubborn abdominal fat once and for all.
Diet Doc Carb Blocker also offers benefits outside of mere weight loss. It helps to regulate blood sugar and improve diabetic or prediabetic conditions stemming from insulin resistance. For individuals with Type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, or other forms of metabolic syndrome, this powerful carb blocker reduces insulin secretion from the pancreas following meals that are high in carbs or starches. In addition, Diet Doc Carb Blocker's ingredients work similarity to soluble fiber, which can provide protection against colon cancer and alleviate symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, chronic constipation, and other digestive ailments.
How does it work?
Diet Doc Carb Blocker's innovative new formula fights the effects of an enzyme called alpha amylase. This enzyme is what breaks carbohydrates down into fat or sugar within the body. Ingestion of white bean extract on a regular basis fights this alpha-amylase activity to prevent the body from turning excess glucose into body fat. Due to its carbohydrate-blocking benefits, caloric restriction is not required while using Diet Doc Carb Blocker. Diet Doc is a nationally operated medical weight loss center whose decades of research has helped countless patients lose weight safely and quickly. Their team of certified doctors and nutritionists have developed customized meal plans and medication regimens for patients across the U.S.
Patients can get started immediately, with materials shipped directly to their home or office. They can also maintain weight loss in the long-term through weekly consultations, customized diet plans, motivational coaches and a powerful prescription program. With Diet Doc, the doctor is only a short phone call away and a fully dedicated team of qualified professionals is available 6 days per week to answer questions, address concerns and support patients.
Getting started with Diet Doc is very simple and affordable. New patients can easily visit https://www.dietdoc.com to quickly complete a health questionnaire and schedule an immediate, free online consultation.
About the Company:
Diet Doc Weight Loss is the nation's leader in medical weight loss, offering a full line of prescription medication, doctor, nurse and nutritional coaching support. For over a decade, Diet Doc has produced a sophisticated, doctor designed weight loss program that addresses each individual specific health need to promote fast, safe and long term weight loss.

World’s fattest woman must move countries on specially adapted plane in perilous journey to get treatment – Mirror.co.uk
Posted: May 6, 2017 at 12:40 am
The world's fattest woman is moving countries after falling out with her doctors in India over her treatment.
Eman Ahmed Abdulati, who weighs 79 stone, is making the perilous journey in a specially adapted plane and is heading for Abu Dhabi in the Middle East.
Doctors in India are refusing to continue treating the half-tonne woman, saying they have fitted a gastric band and now she needs to continue the work on her own at home.
An army of medical experts from Burjeel are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the half-tonne woman who took off late last night.
Eman was discharged from hospital with medics refusing to carry out any further treatment on her following a falling out between Eman's sister Shaimaa Selim and her treating surgeon Dr Muffazal Lakdawala.
Shaimaa Selim said her sister had deteriorated since the operation at the Saifee Hospital in the city of Mumbai in western India's Maharashtra state after the pair flew from their home in the Egyptian city of Alexandria to India after surgeon Dr Muffazal Lakdawala offered to help Ms Abdulati lose weight.
He performed bariatric surgery, which involves fitting a gastric band to reduce the size of her stomach and claimed the operation had helped her lose about 39 stone 7 pounds.
But Ms Selim says the hospital does not even have equipment capable of weighing her and she estimates that her sister has lost no more than 9 stone 6 pounds.
The row rumbled on and caused Ms Selim to seek outside help, with medics form Abu Dhabi stepping forward.
Dr Shajir Gaffar, CEO of VPS Healthcare, Dubai and Northern Emirates and Burjeel Hospital for Advanced Surgery where she is due to be treated, made the trip to India himself to accompany the woman on the flight so he could keep an eye on her heart, due to her weight.
Dr Gaffar said: "At present, we have a team of 15 members of multi-disciplinary approach we are providing for the patient.
"We have aviation doctors, paramedics, logistics support, nurses, they are all on ground here, for her safe medical transportation to the airport from Saifee Hospital.
"Inside the flight there will be five experts accompanying her, including doctors, aviation medicine doctor, senior flight paramedic inside the aircraft."
Eman had previously not left her home in Alexandria, Egypt for 25 years prior to the weight loss trip to India.
Dr Gaffar continued: "Some miscommunication happened between the hospital and patient, and that's when the patient's family contacted us."
Eman is currently being fed a special liquid diet via a feeding tube and cannot speak very well.
This happened when she suffered a stroke in Egypt prior to the surgery.
Sanet said: "She can understand some commands, but she is unable to complete sentences. She's not able to speak words that people can understand, but she can obey commands.
"We have taken into consideration all the risk factors, during flight, that are going hand in hand with medical evacuation of a patient with altitude pressures, which we have taken into consideration."
"Regarding her oxygen levels, we will take care of it. We are well equipped to manage any situations that may arise.
"(Our job is to) insure her health status is improved before we discharge her to her home country, and the support for her family as well.
But getting Eman to the hospital safely is the gravest concern for now, say medics.
Dr Gaffar continued: "As of now I would say health and safety is our priority. We are looking at the safe transportation of the patient, to Abu Dhabi, from here."

Verify: Is tequila good for you? – W*USA 9

Verify: Is tequila good for you?
Dana Thiede, KARE 9:44 PM. EDT May 05, 2017
Stock Image (Photo: KARE)
GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. - Friday marks Cinco de Mayo, a day set aside to commemorate the Mexican Army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza.
Ok, let's be honest...for many it's more about firing up the blenderand making a fabulous tequila cocktail.
In recent days, we've noticed posts and videos popping up on social media touting the medicinal benefits of the clear liquor, saying it helps you sleep, lose weight, and can even cure a common cold. Question is, are those claims true, or a hearty shot of hyperbole?
We decided to find out as part of a new initiative KARE11 is launching called Verify. We will examine stories or claims that are buzzing on social or the mainstream media, and try to verify whether that story is true, false, or perhaps a little bit of both.
To answer the question "Is tequila good for you?" KARE11's Cory Hepola talked to two expert sources: Simeon Phelps, Beverage Director for the popular Nico's Taco and Tequila Bar in Minneapolis as well asAllina Health Dietician Elizabeth Vander Laan.
Phelps brought up agave, a cactus varietal that is the main ingredient in tequila. Some experts tout its ability to replace sugars, aiding in weight loss. Agave's anti-inflammatoryand immune-boosting properties have also been cited, and the website sheknows.com claims the Aztecs used agave syrup to treat wounds because of its antibacterial properties. Three years ago, the American Chemical Society did report that a sweetener created from the agave plant could help certain people with diabetes lose weight.
So if tequila is made of agave it has to be good for you, right? Not so much, said Vander Laan.
"There's not even that type of sugar left in it because it's fermented out," Vander Laan said, talking about the process of distilling agave into tequila.
Does it really help you sleep?
"It's a depressant, so it might help you actually get to sleep, but I'm not sure it's that restful sleep," asserted Vander Haan. The National Sleep Foundation agrees, saying alcohol interrupts your circadian rhythm, blocks REM sleep and can aggravate breathing problems.
How about weight loss? "An ounce and a half of hard alcohol is about 80 calories," says Vander Haan, not even mentioning the sweet, caloric stuff tequila is frequently mixed with.
And that whole dead about curing colds? "They used to use it back in the 30's, back when you could order all sorts of crazy things for the Sears catalog, right? No, there's no evidence to support that," Vander Haan insisted.
At this point, we can safely say KARE 11 has verified that tequila is NOT good for you, despite some of the claims you may have seen on social media. Vander Laandoes say that moderate alcohol use of any variety may have some positive heart benefits for some, but alcohol is also hard on your liver, increases the risk of certain cancers, and can be addictive.
If you're going to drink tequila this Cinco de Mayo, Vander Haan says to do it in moderation, and if you're not a tequila drinker.... don't start swilling it for your health.

Mama June Slips Back Into Swimsuit After Her Massive Weight Loss (Photos) – TooFab
Posted: May 4, 2017 at 11:44 pm
Remember when Mama June Shannon did a "Baywatch"-themed photoshoot back in 2015? Well, she looks nothing like that anymore.
In celebration of her new 135-pound body, Shannon recreated the photo shoot by slipping back into a red swimsuit to show off her drastic transformation.
View the gallery above to see her now.
The reality TV star first revealed her Size 4 transformation on the March 31 episode of "Mama June: From Not to Hot," after having the skin removed from her neck, stomach, back and arms and getting breast augmentation surgery following gastric sleeve surgery.
"I just decided it was time for a change, to be more healthy and to do something for myself because I do so much for everybody else," she previously told TooFab about her weight loss crusade. "At first, people were saying, 'You're losing weight, you look great' and I just ran with it."
"I hope one person gets something out of it, that they realize the struggles are really real. I'd tell people who are struggling with weight, just take it one day at a time. You can't just give up because it seems like the easy way to go. Trust me, I wanted to give up several times through this journey."

The Habits Jessica Formed to Lose 75 Pounds Also Changed Her Life – POPSUGAR

The Habits Jessica Formed to Lose 75 Pounds Also Changed Her Life
I first saw Jess at Barry's Bootcamp she was taking class, but she may as well have been leading it. She was front and center on the floor, serving as our instructor's example of how to do all the moves properly. She was kicking some serious ass . . . and it was her third class of the day. After telling her "What I would give for your stamina," she was quick to tell me, "I used to be 245 pounds."
I didn't believe her until she pulled out her laptop and started showing me photos from her life in Wisconsin. The San Francisco-based lead instructor for Flywheel indoor cycling talks more about her next cardio class or which race she's training for than she does about her transformation. She set out with a goal that wasn't attached to numbers or a scale she just wanted to feel better. One thing lead to the next, and she's now a fitness powerhouse, all-star trainer, and major inspiration in the Bay Area. Oh, and she lost 75 pounds in the process. Check it out.
POPSUGAR: What made you decide to start your weight-loss journey?
Jessica Forseth: I was living in Minneapolis and hit a point where I realized I just didn't feel good. I had a somewhat regular workout routine but was always intimidated to try anything new or take other classes. Around that time I was hospitalized with two blood clots in my lungs. They weren't related to weight or even diet, but it was a bit of a wake-up call that I needed to create healthier habits, focusing on what I could control versus genetic disorders.
PS: What do you think contributed to your weight gain?
JF: Throughout college and even shortly after while still living in Minneapolis, I found myself going out three to five nights a week; whether it was just a happy hour or an all-nighter, the alcohol and appetizers or midnight meals all offset any healthy choices I had made during the day. Even as I became more active, it was never enough to offset the late-night mac and cheese, pizza, or the beer (hello, Wisconsin!).
PS: What approaches had you tried to lose weight?
JF: One day I just decided I needed to force myself to get in shape and stick to a plan my job title was even a planner, I thrive with a plan! and I signed up for a half marathon on a whim. Creating the training plan and just learning the best ways to fuel your body helped so much! When I moved to San Francisco, I got even more dedicated: I signed up for more races, added in cross-training, and was always reading up on nutrition, fitness, and recovery. I was tracking everything I ate and very, very, very disciplined. While this worked initially, it really wasn't sustainable; dwelling on every single calorie was an even bigger mental roadblock! My love for fitness and staying active was the key. I learned what foods fueled my body best. It's a positive cycle: the better you feel, the better you perform, which makes you want to keep it up!
PS: What's your favorite way to work out?
JF: I am a sucker for high intensity! I love loud music, high-energy atmospheres where I can just get lost in the moment and variety. I'm always mixing up cardio and strength training at Flywheel and Barry's Bootcamp or running around San Francisco sightseeing.
PS: What made you decide to become a Flywheel instructor?
JF: It's a funny story, actually. I used to be very anti-Spin class. I would take cycling classes at my gym as a way to force myself to cross-train and was always so bored and didn't feel like I got a great workout. I tried my first Flywheel class in Sunnyvale and not only did I get my butt kicked, I had a blast! I knew right then and there that I wanted to be that person helping everyone else find the fun in fitness and push themselves to places they didn't know they were capable of. Being able to turn a passion into a career has been so rewarding, especially since I can relate to everyone in that room, from beginner to advanced.
PS: What do you love most about Flywheel?
JF: I love the intensity and the community. There's something so empowering about a room full of people all working their asses off, no matter what their goal is. The torqboard and power scores keep me accountable, too! I like that I can just zone out and get lost in music for 45 minutes and come out feeling both refreshed and exhausted at the same time!
PS: What's your weekly exercise schedule?
JF: I try to focus my own workouts on strength training. I teach 10 to 12 Flywheel classes a week and am always committed to riding hard with my class, so strength training is so essential to help me prevent injuries! On top of teaching, I will usually take three to four Flywheel classes, go to Barry's Bootcamp five days a week, and yoga one day. When I can, I sneak in a jog outside!
PS: How do you keep workouts exciting?
JF: The best thing for me has been finding group fitness and this community! I still love a good solo run or weightlifting session, but finding workout buddies helps make it social as well! Planks are a little less torturous when you can laugh about it with a friend next to you. Taking advantage of the Bay Area is also great just a stroll through the city hills with coffee and a buddy is a great booty workout!
PS: How much weight have you lost?
JF: In total I've lost around 75 pounds.
PS: What was the first big difference, other than the number on the scale, that really made you feel proud and excited?
JF: The biggest thing for me has been the mental change. That's what I am most proud of. I was always intimidated to try anything new or even ashamed and had the mentality that I could never do something or wasn't strong enough to even try. I've proven myself wrong so many times now that my mindset has completely shifted to "why not?" and now I LOVE pushing my limits and finding new ways to challenge myself. I was holding myself back and didn't even realize it!
PS: How do you track your weight loss?
JF: I've stopped weighing myself regularly so don't track it like I used to because I can always tell when I just don't feel as great as I know I should. That usually tells me more than the scale!
PS: What's a typical day of meals and snacks?
JF: I am always on the go running between classes, our three Bay Area studios, or my own workouts and meetings so I am adamant about starting my day with a good breakfast and carrying tons of healthy snack options. My go-to breakfast is an egg with avocado, berries, and coffee. All the coffee. I eat a lot of small meals or snacks throughout the day to keep me fueled: oatmeal with almond butter, RXbars, fruit, or nuts. I try to have a really big salad for lunch or some sort of protein and veggie combo to keep me going.
PS: Do you count calories? What's the range of calories you eat per day?
JF: I use MyFitnessPal to track; I find it keeps me accountable. Having spent years trying to lose weight, I am still very calorie-conscious, but now I try not to focus as much on calories as I do on eating clean, whole foods when I'm truly hungry. I'm so active I need the fuel, but tracking helps me choose better fuel sources. On average I range between 1,700 and 2,000 calories a day depending on my schedule and how many hours I will be sweating that day!
PS: What are the healthy staples that are always in your fridge?
JF: Eggs, avocados, berries, and veggies to roast. I've been on a big brussels sprouts and asparagus kick lately! I also always have easy to grab snacks like RXbars and Justin's Almond Butter packets to throw in my purse.
PS: How do you strategize for meals out?
JF: I try to look ahead at the menu and check out what the healthier options are. But let's be real, if I'm going out to eat, it's probably for a special occasion and I am going to enjoy the chips and guacamole because what is life without chips and guacamole? Or ice cream and cookies, but that's another story.
PS: Do you use a fitness tracker? Which one, and how do you think it helped you?
JF: I used to use a FitBit regularly. I loved being able to track sleep, workouts, and steps, but I don't think it was prepared for the amount of hours I sweat each day as I've broken three of them.
PS: What role did Flywheel play in your journey?
JF: Being able to turn my passion into a career and take all of my own experiences the ups, downs, good, bad, all of the lessons into the stadium and share with this community has been so rewarding. Everyone I get to interact with every day, from the riders to instructors to our leaders, inspires me and keep me motivated to keep pushing myself outside of my comfort zone and never settling. They make me want to be better and stronger and never look back. I just hope that every time I get on that podium I can inspire someone in that room to do something they didn't think they could do because I was once that person who could barely run a block and was too afraid to even try a cycling class.
PS: What advice do you have for anyone starting out on a weight-loss journey?
JF: Know that it's a long journey and it's never ending it's not about setting one goal and then being done. It's a forever goal. It's a lifestyle. Not every day will be the healthiest or best day, but know that's not the end. And find the fun factor in your fitness routine! Whatever it is friends, a class, your playlists that makes you look forward to your sweat sesh.
