hCG Diets / Diet Doc Weight Loss Plans Announces Benefits of an Individualized hCG Diet Plan for Men Over 50.

Posted: August 23, 2012 at 11:12 pm

New York, NY (PRWEB) August 23, 2012

hCG Diets / Diet Doc Weight Loss Plans Announces Benefits of an Individualized hCG Diet Plan for Men Over 50.

As males age, they will experience an inevitable drop in testosterone production in the body which results in lower energy, bone and muscle mass, and libido. Diet Doc Weight Loss Plans offers a customized hCG diet plan for men over 50 who need to drop unwanted or unhealthy weight, and increase natural testosterone levels in their bodies.

As men grow older, testosterone levels decrease incrementally, beginning at the age of 30. hCG Diets / Diet Doc Weight Loss Plans recognizes this shift in the male physiology and recommends an individualized hCG diet plan for those males seeking to shed unwanted weight and regain much-needed, naturally produced testosterone. Responsible for maintaining bone mass, muscle mass, energy levels, and sexual functioning, testosterone is also a welcomed byproduct of hCG treatments.

Testosterone has also been found to aid in weight loss, making the hCG weight loss diet the fastest way to lose weight. hCG or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, is a hormone discovered by an Endocrinologist named A.T.W.Simeons in the 1950s, and when paired with a regulated, low-calorie diet, the hCG diet plan delivers fast weight loss and beneficial side effects. Men over 50 who are obese or trying to lose stubborn weight will also benefit from hCG's ability to help lower cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar, on top of the naturally increased testosterone levels that an aging male may need.

A National Institute of Health (NIH) study conducted by Stephen E Borst and Thomas Mulligan indicated that "In older men, low circulating testosterone is correlated with low muscle strength, with high adiposity, with insulin resistance and with poor cognitive performance." Diet Doc Weight Loss Plans and hCG diets have found that an effective way to naturally manage this drop in testosterone, and lose unwanted extra weight fast can be with prescription hCG treatments. Many men over 50 have sought out testosterone therapy from synthetic sources or over-the-counter supplements with mixed reviews. This is disheartening for many older males, but Diet Doc Weight Loss Plans offers a solution to a rigorous regimen of testosterone treatments. For men looking to shed unwanted weight, a clinically supervised hCG diet offers the necessary weight loss benefits, but with the added positive, naturally-occurring effect of raising the perpetually lowering testosterone levels in older males, safely and without the side effects of traditional high level testosterone replacement therapy. The patient's own body produces more testosterone in response to the hCG treatments. According to Borst and Mulligan, "[traditional] testosterone therapy produces a number of adverse effects, including worsening of sleep apnea, gynecomastia, polycythemia and elevation of PSA." With clinically monitored hCG treatments and Diet Doc Weight Loss Plans' individualized diet plan, males over the age of 50 can lose weight safely and effectively, meanwhile boosting their testosterone without any of the side effects of traditional, and much stronger testosterone treatments.

Roughly 10% to 25% of males age 50 and older have low testosterone. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism and referenced by The Endocrine Society states that "men over 50 may not live as long if they have low testosterone." Male patients who are overweight, and over 50 will benefit from the hCG diet plan the most as they gain two-fold: these patients lose weight fast, increasing their overall health, and simultaneously experience an increase in testosterone in the bloodstream which further increases overall health, and according to the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolisim, increases their lifespan. According to the National Institute of Health, the range for normal testosterone in a healthy male is 300 to 1,200 nanograms per deciliter. Traditional testosterone replacement therapy treatments are 300-600mg per week, which can lead to a multitude of adverse side effects. The natural testosterone produced when on the hCG diet is much more subtle, and naturally occurs inside the patient's body in response to presence of hCG. This slight increase is because hCG mimics luteinizing hormone (LH) which stimulates the testicles to produce testosterone. It is common for energy to go up once in ketosis when combined with the potential for some testosterone stimulation. Diet Doc Weight Loss vigorously monitors patients to ensure a safe, medically supervised weight loss experience that produces fast weight loss and natural incremental increase in needed testosterone.

Weight loss surgery helps prevent diabetes

Posted: August 23, 2012 at 4:12 am

NEW YORK Treating obese people with weight loss surgery dramatically delays or prevents the onset of type 2 diabetes, according to a new study.

Don't miss these Health stories

It's a sweltering summer day, so you take a big sip of a refreshing, frozen coffee--and you're immediately doubled over with throbbing head pain. Why do frosty foods give us headaches?

"We saw a marked delay (in the development of diabetes) over 15 years," said coauthor Dr. Lars Sjostrom of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. "Some of those surgical patients will probably develop diabetes later. But over a lifetime, there will be a large difference."

Among the 1,658 volunteers who received surgery, mostly stomach stapling, the risk of developing diabetes was about one in 150 per year. The 1,771 people in the control group who received standard care had a risk four times higher: one in 35 per year.

"Most of the previous studies on bariatric surgery have focused on the remission of diabetes. This study is more about preventing diabetes," Ted Adams of the University of Utah, who was not connected with the research, told Reuters Health.

The improvement was seen even though the people who underwent surgery initially had a higher risk of developing diabetes than those in the control group.

"If anything, the surgery group was a bit heavier and had more risk factors than the control group at the start of the study, and still the outcome at 10 years and 15 years was much more favorable in the surgery group," Sjostrom told Reuters Health. "It's favorable in spite of these differences."

The team, which reported its results in the New England Journal of Medicine, also found that a person's starting body mass index - a measure of weight versus height - did not predict whether patients would develop type 2 diabetes. Blood sugar levels at the beginning of the study, before surgery, were better indicators.

Sjostrom said a similar effect has been seen in earlier studies looking at the impact of the surgery on rates of heart attack, stroke, cancer prevention and overall mortality.

Study: 80% Lower Diabetes Risk 10 Years After Bariatric Surgery

Aug. 22, 2012 -- Weight loss surgery reduced obese patients' 10-year risk of getting type 2 diabetes by 80%, Swedish researchers report.

The study, begun in 1987, already has shown that weight loss surgery, also called bariatric surgery, can improve blood sugar levels in obese patients. The study has also shown that the surgery works much better than diet and exercise in lowering obese patients' risk of heart disease and death.

But now Lars Sjostrom, MD, PhD, of the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and colleagues show even greater reductions in obese patients' risk of a first-time diabetes diagnosis.

"Here the risk reduction is much stronger," Sjostrom says. "In the control group, which obtained usual care, 28% of patients developed diabetes over 10 years vs. 7% of the patients in the surgery group. If you look at it 15 years later, it is 38% vs. 13% in the surgery group. These figures correspond to risk reduction of about 80% with bariatric surgery."

In people who already had rising blood-sugar levels, those who underwent weight loss surgery lowered their diabetes risk by 87%. For every 13 such people who underwent surgery, 10 would be free of diabetes after 10 years.

The findings are "provocative and exciting," writes Duke University bariatric surgery expert Danny O. Jacobs, MD, MPH, in an editorial accompanying the report in the New England Journal of Medicine.

However, Sjostrom notes that the study is not a clinical trial. For ethical reasons, patients were not randomly given standard treatment or bariatric surgery -- which carried a 5% risk of death at the time. (Today's techniques are much safer but far from risk free.) Instead, they compared 1,658 obese people without diabetes who chose to undergo bariatric surgery to 1,771 matched obese people who did not want the surgery.

Sjostrom and Jacobs agree that further studies are needed before anyone can recommend weight loss surgery to prevent diabetes.

"There is a wealth of evidence that the operation can certainly lower the insulin requirement for patients with diabetes," Jacobs says. "But it would be a leap of faith to take it to the next level and say that a patient who is obese but not morbidly obese should undergo a surgical procedure to prevent diabetes."

New 'FODMAP' diet finds relief for those with sensitive stomachs

Posted: August 22, 2012 at 11:20 am

You may have heard of a low FODMAP diet, and wondered, not just whether it might be right for you, but also wondered what in the world it is.

FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols.

Well, perhaps that definition doesn't clarify things much.

That name contains a list of indigestible sugars that are found in many foods. Some people will experience IBS symptoms from these foods because their guts are sensitive to them.

Many foods that should be avoided or reduced in a low FODMAP diet are certain fruits, sweeteners, grains, vegetables and milk products.

According to Emedicine.net, a diet low in FODMAPs can bring some relief to many people who have irritable bowel syndrome reducing symptoms.

The diet is not considered a cure but it can ease the pain, gas, bloating and other IBS symptoms.

If you've been seen by a doctor and have been found not to have other conditions such as celiac disease, ovarian cancer and inflammatory bowel disease, you might want to consider a low FODMAP diet. ___________________________________________________ More From EmpowHER: Detoxing Diet?

Diet soda and weight gain

Posted: August 22, 2012 at 12:20 am

DARRON CUMMINGS - ASSOCIATED PRESS

Two studies presented in June 2011 at the American Diabetes Association's Scientific Sessions suggest diet soda may not help battle pounds or diabetes.

Can diet sodas really make you gain weight?

Recent headlines reporting that diet sodas can lead to weight gain have stirred up debate among health experts. While zero-calorie diet sodas have been a dieters best friend for decades, recent research brings up the question: Do they really work?

Two studies presented in June 2011 at the American Diabetes Associations Scientific Sessions suggest diet soda may not help battle pounds or diabetes. Researchers from the University of Texas showed data that diet soft drink consumption is associated with a 70 percent greater waist circumference a risk factor for type 2 diabetes compared with non-users.

In the second study, researchers found that the artificial sweetener aspartame raised blood sugar in diabetes-prone mice. These findings coincide with other recent studies that have found negative health results associated with drinking diet soda. In a January 2012 study, daily diet soda intake (at least one per day) was linked with an increased risk for vascular events, such as stroke.

The research on diet soda and weight is far from conclusive. A March 2012 study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition linked switching high-calorie drinks, such as regular soda, for calorie-free drinks like water or diet soda, to weight loss. The switch from high-calorie to low-calorie drinks caused a sufficient reduction in calories to provide a 2 percent body weight loss over six months.

Why are the findings so confusing? You would expect the consumption of zero-calorie beverages to be uniformly linked with weight loss. The answer may be simply that obese people drink a lot of diet soda, which would explain the association between diet soda intake and higher weight in obese populations. And diet soda may encourage higher calorie intake of other food groups the old diet soda and a brownie habit. If people think theyve been good by drinking a diet soda, they may indulge in high-calorie treats to reward themselves.

For now, your best bet to keep your diet soda habit under control may be to drink more of the best zero-calorie beverages you can find plain water, coffee or tea.

Diet guru claims obese are 'mentally ill'

Posted: August 21, 2012 at 2:15 pm

Would you take dieting advice from a man who has branded the obese as "mentally ill"?

If you have tried the smash-hit Dukan diet, you already have.

Dr Pierre Dukan, the millionaire author behind the best-selling nutrition books has said that the heavily overweight have "a mental problem".

He told the Mail on Sunday's You magazine: "I've never seen an obese person who has said, 'I am well in the mind.'"

The infamous doctor admits that he feels for the audience to which his books are targeted. "I suffer for them ... I like them because they are not really ill, like with the cancer, but feel they are outside of society.... I want to help."

He suggested that love may be the best dieting mechanism around (besides his plan, we presume): "Happiness stops food being a compensation. If you love a man, immediately you will reduce your intake of food - it's automatic."

The Duchess of Cambridge's Berkshire-based mother, Carole Middleton, reportedly lost 34lbs using the controversial Dukan method, which sees a high-protein intake based around 100 permitted foods, with dieters instructed to phase the programme around four 'pillars'.

Launched in France in 2000, The Dukan Diet hit Australian bookshops in 2010 and has gone on to sell over 100,000 copies.

Similar to the equally contentious Atkins diet, as well as ketogenic and Weight Watchers diets, the programme has drawn wide-spread criticism, not least from French, British and American health bodies.

The diet was ranked 24th out of 25 in a best diets of 2012 list drawn up by US News and Health Report. Blasted for being too restrictive and rule-driven as well as bereft of medical evidence, one expert went as far as labelling the plan "idiotic".
