Diet Doc’s Dr. Nishant Rao Challenges the Health Assumptions of Plant-Based Diets – GlobeNewswire (press release)

Posted: September 6, 2017 at 8:44 am

Baltimore, MD, Sept. 06, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plant based diets are commonly used to promote weight loss as well as a healthier lifestyle and as a result, people are flocking to this style of dieting without seeking medical guidance. Dr. Nishant Rao, medical director of Diet Doc medical weight loss warns that these assumptions arent based on the facts and can lead to some serious health consequences. Dr. Rao says that, Plant based dieting is based in large part on The China Study. The China Study is a pro-vegan book written by Colin T Campbell which observes the connection between animal products and common illnesses. While the book presents a compelling link between protein and such illnesses, Dr. Rao states that The China Study is, severely flawed using rat models with no following through on long term outcomes, since the study omitted the data that the rats fed higher protein actually lived longer than the ones on the lower protein plant based diet.

Nevertheless, adding more plants to the diet is always a good decision. However, Dr. Rao says that, Omitting various types of protein with the sole intent of reducing fat to help with coronary artery disease was the initial purpose. Since then, weve come to understand that dietary fat is not a large contributor to CAD and that inflammation and other factors play a larger role. Essentially, adherence to a plant based diet tends to have more philosophical reasons than health based reasons (which are often cherry picked and lacking the bigger picture). Dr. Rao reiterates the importance that protein has within the human diet. Humans are generally best served by following an omnivorous diet to which we are biologically suited for with macronutrient guidelines based on body metrics and activity level. Plant based diets offer no metabolic advantage and in fact, over an omnivorous, medically-supervised eating program tailored to suit each individuals metabolic requirements like Diet Docs is the surest bet for rapid and healthy weight loss.

New therapy could protect diabetic bones – Science Magazine

Posted: September 6, 2017 at 8:44 am

A new therapy changes the balance of osteoblasts (pictured here) and fat cells in the bone marrow, leading to stronger bones.

Science Picture Co/Science Source

By Emma YasinskiSep. 5, 2017 , 2:59 PM

A drug that can reverse diabetes and obesity in mice may have an unexpected benefit: strengthening bones. Experiments with a compound called TNP (2,4,6-trinitrophenol, which is also known as picric acid), which researchers often use to study obesity and diabetes, show that in mice the therapy can promote the formation of new bone. Thats in contrast to many diabetes drugs currently in wide use that leave patients bones weaker. If TNP has similar effects in humans, it may even be able to stimulate bone growth after fractures or prevent bone loss due to aging or disuse.

As more and more patients successfully manage diabetes with drugs that increase their insulin sensitivity, doctors and researchers have observed a serious problem: Thedrugs seem to decrease the activity of cells that produce bone, leaving patients prone to fractures and osteoporosis.

There are millions and millions of people that have osteoporosis [with or without diabetes], and it's not something we can cure, says Sean Morrison, a stem cell researcher at University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas. We need new agents that promote bone formation.

Morrison and his colleagues have shown that a high-fat diet causes mice to develop bones that contain more fat and less bone. The diet increased the levels of leptina hormone produced by fat cells that usually signals satiety in the brainin the bone marrow, which promoted the development of fat cells instead of bone cells. That suggests that nutrition has a direct effect on the balance of bone and fat in the bone marrow.

After reading Morrisons work, Siddaraju Boregowda, a stem cell researcher at the Scripps Research Institute in Jupiter, Florida, was reminded of genetically altered mice that dont gain body fat or develop diabetes, even when fed high-fat diets. He and his boss, stem cell researcher Donald Phinney, wondered whetherthose mice were also protected from the fattening of the bone marrow that accompanies a high-fat diet.

They contacted Anutosh Chakraborty, a molecular biologist who was studying such mice down the hall at Scripps at the time. The animals lack the gene for an enzyme called inositol hexakisphosphate kinase 1 (IP6K1), which is known to play a role in fat accumulation and insulin sensitivity. The scientists suspected that the lost enzyme might affect the animals' mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)stem cells found in the bone marrow that are capable of developing into both thebone cells and fat cells that make up our skeletons. If too many fat cells develop, they take the place of bone cells, weakening the bone.

The researchers fed genetically altered and normal mice a high-fat diet for 8weeks. Not only did the genetically altered mice develop fewer fat cells than their normal counterparts, but their production of bone cells was higher than that of the normal mice, the team reported last month in Stem Cells.

The scientists then set out to see whetherthey could use a drug to achieve the same effect in normal mice. For 8weeks, they fed normal mice a high-fat diet and gave them daily injections of either TNP, a well-known IP6K1 inhibitor, or a placebo. When they analyzed the animals bones and marrow, they found that mice that had received TNP had significantly more bone cells, fewer fat cells, and greater overall bone area. The IP6K1 inhibitor apparently protected the mice from the detrimental effects of the high-fat diet.

The study provided thesurprising result that one new therapy currently being explored to lower insulin resistance promotes, rather than decreases, the formation of bone in mice, says DarwinProckop,a stem cell researcher at Texas A&M College of Medicine in Temple, who was not involved in the work.

The researchers still need to figure out how to deliver TNPs effects only to MSCs, instead of the entire body, given that it sometimes blocks other enzymes along with IP6K1. Inhibition of IP6K1 is a promising target for patients with both diabetes and obesity, Boregowda says. He says he and his colleagues are now enthusiastic about testing their findings in a wide range of bone-related diseases and disorders. It might even help heal broken bones, he speculates.

Phinney, on the other hand, is aiming even higher. He wonders whetherthe therapy could also be useful for space travel, because bones are especially vulnerable to deterioration in zero gravity. Its a whole new field of science and drug discovery.

Lower your cholesterol with this diet – Bel Marra Health

Home Heart Health Cholesterol Lower your cholesterol with this diet

Your doctor told you that you have high cholesterol, so now what? Well, you know that diet and exercise can go a long way in reducing cholesterol, but it can be difficult to navigate the world of healthy eating.

However, there is good news. Lately, more and more research suggests that a vegetarian diet is a good choice for those who want to lower their cholesterol.

The latest findings come from a review of nearly 50 studiesall confirming that the vegetarian diet reigns supreme when it comes to lowering cholesterol. The researchers defined vegetarian as consuming meat less than once a month.

The researchers found that vegetarians had 29.2 mg less cholesterol per deciliter compared to meat eaters. Furthermore, following a plant-based diet could lower cholesterol by 12.5 mg per deciliter among those who consume meat.

How exactly does a vegetarian diet promote healthy cholesterol? Well, vegetarian diets are low in saturated fat and high in soluble fiber, soy protein, and plant sterols, which all work to reduce cholesterol.

The researchers explained, Those [individuals] who have followed vegetarian dietary patterns for longer periods may have healthier body compositions as well as better adherence to a vegetarian diet, both of which may have an effect on blood lipids.

Co-author of the study, Susan Levin, added, The first place to start is by building meals around nutrient-packed, plant-based foods, which fit into nearly every cultural template, taste preference, and budget.

Even if you eat meat now, you dont have to give it up completely to achieve healthy cholesterol. Simply look at how much meat you are eating in a day, week, and month, and even what kind of meat you are eating. By evaluating your consumption of meat, you can begin to take necessary steps in the right direction.

For example, you can start swapping out meat meals with other sources of protein a few times a week. You can also substitute meat that is high in saturated fat, like beef, with healthier and leaner meat options like chicken or even fish like salmon. Starting off with small changes will make it easier to transition to a more plant-based diet.

And, dont forget to reduce those cholesterol numbers. It is also a good idea to pair your healthy diet with a regular workout routine. Similar to changing your diet, integrate a workout program slowly into your daily routine to help you stick with it better.

Obese mum loses 7st using THIS one simple technique take a look at her now – Daily Star

Posted: September 6, 2017 at 8:43 am

FORTITUDE PRESS

At her heaviest Victoria Saldana weighed 28 stone and wore a 32 dress size.

The 31-year-old had been unhappy with her weight for years, but it wasnt until she nearly died from a brain haemorrhage, that she decided to turn her life around.

After her health scare, Victoria said she was "so depressed" she knew she had to change her ways.

FORTITUDE PRESS

The mum, from North Carolina, said "I looked at myself in the mirror one day and said I cant do this anymore.

"I had just suffered a cerebral haemorrhage and almost died and knew I had to make a change."

In her quest to shed the pounds Victoria, who has three daughters, came across a hypnosis weight loss App 12 weeks to Wow - Virtual Gastric Band- Lose Weight Fast.

Amazingly, these reality TV stars have lost more than 40st between them... all thanks to healthy eating and exercise

Jennifer Ellison from Brookside loses three stone in weight

The mum, from North Carolina, said "I looked at myself in the mirror one day and said I cant do this anymore.

"I had just suffered a cerebral haemorrhage and almost died and knew I had to make a change."

In her quest to shed the pounds Victoria, who has three daughters, came across a hypnosis weight loss App 12 weeks to Wow - Virtual Gastric Band- Lose Weight Fast.

She said: "I started out using the first app created by Sue and James called the Virtual Gastric Band- Lose Weight Fast.

"I would only listen at night but the pounds started to drop off.

"I also started to attend nutritional classes and learned about proteins and carbs."

Victoria said at one point she had considered weight loss surgery, but didn't go through with it.

FORTITUDE PRESS

Instead, the inspirational mum managed to drop an incredible 7st using hypnosis.

There were also some bad food habits she struggled to shake, but in the end she got there through sheer determination.

She said: "I really struggled to give up chocolate I loved it so much.

"But my weight was beginning to effect my life badly. I would struggle to even tie my shoe and would sweat just putting on my clothes.

"I couldn't walk up the stairs without taking a break."

High-protein, low-carbohydrate diets are all the rage right now and for good reason. Protein is an important component of every cell in the body. Hair and nails are mostly made of protein and your body uses protein to build and repair tissues.

She said: "More men notice me since my weight loss and my self esteem is back up.

"My children love it and I am happier now that I have accomplished this much. But I am ready to lose some more weight.

"My journey has been long but its not over yet."

Losing weight can seem like a neverending battle, and sometimes it seems as if the hard work just doesnt pay off. Weight loss supplements can help you see results faster, help boost your metabolism, maximize your workouts, and burn fat faster so your hard work pays off faster. Weight loss supplements and remedies typically come in the form of pills you take along with a healthy diet and exercise program to combat fat and reduce inches. Always talk to a doctor before you start supplements to ensure youre taking the right thing for your specific needs.Burn, Baby, BurnOne of the most common ways to use diet pills to lose weight is to take fat burner supplements. These pills work to increase the amount of fat your body burns while you exercise or youre at rest. A combination of hormones, proteins, and stimulants put your metabolism into overdrive and jump start weight loss by melting fat away. Pills arent the only solution when it comes to burning fat; you can also choose creams, patches, or body wraps that tighten your body and reduce inches. Appetite suppressants create a full feeling so you dont eat as much, which makes it easy to lose weight safely and quickly. Dont Wait to Lose WeightIn a hurry to drop a dress size? Weight loss remedies come in many forms, and if youre not hip on fat burners or diet pills, try something different, such as meal replacement drinks, which replace one or two meals a day with a healthy shake or smoothie that includes your essential vitamins and minerals without the added calories. Taking green tea supplements can also help you lose weight and have the added benefit of boosting your immune system and slowing down the aging process. Other ideas for weight loss include trying bars and foods that promote weight loss, such as Nutrisystem. Clean and CleanseMany movie stars swear by cleanses, and they do have their benefits. There are multiple types of cleanses, including juice, tea, and even tablet cleanses that generally remove toxins from your body and provide you with immediate weight loss. Flush your system with a body cleanse that keeps your colon healthy and your system happy. Doing a cleanse now and then is like a reset button for your system, and there is a cleanse thats right for everyone.

Losing weight gets personal: Combining diet and behavioral changes may help – Chicago Tribune

Posted: September 6, 2017 at 8:43 am

Over the years, Robert Kushner has seen many obese patients get "tripped up" trying to keep pounds off because they rely on fast food, juggle too many tasks and dislike exercise.

So Kushner, an obesity expert, began helping patients plan diet and physical activity around their lifestyles and habits.

"We don't necessarily put people on any specific diet; it really gets to what is their life, what are their struggles," he said. "We believe obesity care can't be inconsistent with culture, family or how you lead your life."

He recently suggested that a patient split meals with his wife when they dined out, rather than each having large portions or avoiding restaurants entirely. When the man said he was uncomfortable sharing a meal with his wife when the couple was out with friends, Kushner said to do it anyway.

"I said, 'It's a strategy that works whether you're with other people or not. . . . Be assertive,' " said Kushner. "I think people don't think about it because they just aren't raised to share."

The patient kept track of the foods he was eating, learning to avoid larger portions and fattening dishes. He has lost 15 pounds in six months, cutting about 500 to 700 calories per day.

More than a third of U.S. adults are obese, according to a 2015 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Kushner, who directs the Center for Lifestyle Medicine at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago, said he realized in the 1980s that obesity was a looming problem. He started combining diet, nutrition, exercise and behavioral changes into a plan for patients.

Since then, "what's changed is the maturity of the area, understanding more about the effects of stress and sleep on body weight, and some of the behavioral-change techniques have expanded," he said.

In addition to promoting good sleep habits and stress management techniques such as meditation, Kushner and his colleagues suggest bariatric surgery for patients with a body mass index of 40 or more and for some who are less obese but who have medical problems such as Type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea and heart disease. They also recommend medication for patients with BMIs as low as 30 who have additional medical problems or have failed to lose weight despite lifestyle changes.

While studies haven't generally proved that lifestyle changes are effective for weight loss, Kushner said patients often have trouble shedding pounds unless problems like stress are managed.

Kushner's approach proposes gentler, moderate changes. Rather than tell patients to cut out every unhealthy food they love, Kushner suggests focusing on alternatives with higher fiber and water content but fewer calories. (Think beans, vegetables, salads, fruits, broth-based soups and whole grains such as oatmeal.)

For the couch potato who finds exercise overwhelming, Kushner advises walking for short periods, building up to three 10-minute brisk walks daily to "boost your energy level and mood while you also burn calories."

He also suggests that dog owners walk their pet for 30 minutes daily rather than leave Fido in the back yard. Kushner found that dog-walking helped overweight and obese people lose weight in a study, and he wrote a book about it - "Fitness Unleashed!: A Dog and Owner's Guide to Losing Weight and Gaining Health Together" - with veterinarian Marty Becker.

"I call it an exercise machine on a leash," Kushner said. "It is a way for people to think about moving their body around in a fun way."

Most of his patients lose about 10 percent of their body weight (some more than 20 percent) after six months and keep it off during the program, Kushner said.

"Patients say they feel understood and more motivated as they are given personalized direction to make positive changes in their lifestyle," he said.

Kushner created a questionnaire to screen patients for traits that prevent weight loss - such as eating what's convenient rather than planning healthy meals or having an all-or-nothing mentality - traits that Kushner and colleagues found in a study to be strongly linked with obesity.

"Once you take the quiz and know your factor type, I can personalize a plan to help you lose weight and keep it off," Kushner said.

Another way Kushner hopes to help patients tackle obesity is by teaching medical students about treating and preventing it. He found in a recent study that the U.S. Medical Licensing Examination was focusing much more on diagnosing and treating obesity-related illnesses, such as Type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea, than on how to counsel patients on diet, physical activity, behavior changes, the use of medications and bariatric surgery.

But Kushner said his approach isn't only about weight loss.

"We know that as little as 5 to 10 percent weight loss will improve the health and well-being of individuals and can also improve blood sugar, blood pressure, the fats in your blood, arthritis or reflux symptoms, as well as your mood and energy level."

This Is the Real Key to Weight Loss, According to Science – Reader’s Digest

Posted: September 6, 2017 at 8:43 am

When it comes to weight loss, there are plenty of different unconventional avenues to achieve your goal. For example, you can take any of these fun gym classes.Or maybe you can just dedicate yourself to catching up on sleepthis method actually works! Or, next time you have a craving for that bag of pork rinds, maybe just pick up this nutits proven to suppress snack cravings.

As great as the legitimate methods listed above are at helping you reach your goal, its really the larger-scale lifestyle decisions that will guarantee a big change. According to a recent study published in Obesity, consistency is key.

The study included 183 overweight or obese adults and their efforts to live a healthier lifestyle and drop some pounds. The participants were entered into a weight-loss program and had their weight measured and studied each week. The study also included an assessment meeting at the six-month mark, the 12-month mark, and the 24-month mark.

The study found that participants who had higher weight variability early on in the study were far less likely to sustain weight loss by the time they hit the 12-month and 24-month marks. Reduced to a takeaway: The more consistent someoneis with their weight-loss routine, the more likely they are to make a habit out of it, and in turn sustain the losses that coincide with regular exercise/diet.

It is worth noting that the study was composed of mostly women (81%) who were mostly caucasian and from the greater Philadelphia area, so environmental conditions couldve played a role as well.

So if youre hoping to see a big change in your weight, keep up with your health goals for the best results. So drink that kale smoothie every morning on the commute to work, go for a walk every day at noon, eat a hot pepper and burn a bunch of calories at 2 p.m., and hit the gym every night right after work. (We wont hold it against you if you ditch the pepper.)

Lisa Riley weight loss: Emmerdale star, 41, reveals the TRUE extent of her ‘baggy body’ – Express.co.uk

Posted: September 6, 2017 at 8:43 am

Lisa, 41, revealed she was left with a stone of loose skin that made going to the bathroom a challenge.

Speaking in her documentary, Lisas Baggy Body club, the TV star detailed the negative side of losing weight before she underwent surgery to remove the excess skin.

She said she felt like a balloon thats had all its helium taken out.

She continued: Everything's closer. Just been able to go to the toilet, to wipe my ****y. Well my ***y is here now.

I had to really reach round all the fat and reach down under, but it's there.

Lisa had said she felt repulsed by her reflection, so decided to have four surgeries to remove the skin.

Discussing how unhappy she was with her body after weight loss, Lisa told The Mirror: When I made the decision to lose weight, I never for one second imagined that I would end up looking like that. It never occurred to me that the loose skin would be so bad.

She continued: I was revolted by my own image, it was rancid. I was used to seeing the obese Lisa reflection, but this saggy mess was new, it was painful and it was quashing the brilliance of what I had done.

Lisa went on to start a community for people experiencing the same thing as her, and also decided to document her battle on Lisa Riley's Baggy Body Club.

The actress underwent a tummy tuck, surgery to remove the loose skin for her thighs, a boob lift and the removal of her bingo wings.

She has been left with scaring, but said it was worth it to remove the excess skin.

She explained: I had more than 60 stretch marks, so what are a few scars? I do not care about my scars at all. I am proud of them. I am happy to show them. I couldn't be happier about my body now if I tried.

Lisa regularly updates fans with her weight loss on Instagram.

She even shares before and after pictures to make a comparison, posting one in June.

She captioned the image: Some days it REALLY dawns on me how TRULY far I have come...and every day now...training hard....eating correctly....loving my life....head and heart in sync.....enjoying the person I was ALLOWED to become #smallerme #gettingsmaller #gymgirl @andrewmayers_pt [sic]

The post received thousand of likes and positive comments congratulating the star.
