Mental Workout today announced a new partnership with Dr. Ann Kearney-Cooke and the upcoming release of Less is More - a revolutionary weight loss program addressing the psychological issues behind healthy weight loss, giving everyone access to techniques and tools via the web and mobile devices.

Water Mill, NY (PRWEB) March 13, 2012

Less than one-third of U.S. adults are at a healthy weight (National Center for Health Statistics). Over two-thirds of U.S. adults are overweight or obese (Journal of the American Medical Association).

Online tools have already been shown effective in helping people losing weight. By making Less is More accessible via mobile devices, the success rate is expected to be even higher. Addressing the many psychological aspects of weight loss and helping people set, achieve, and maintain realistic weight loss goals are the keys to the success of Less is More.

Dr. Ann Kearney-Cooke commented:

"The Less is More program will bring the benefits of my 30-years of experience in the treatment of weight loss to millions of people around the world who are now using mobile technology to lose weight in a healthy and sustainable way. The program will put many struggling with weight loss or self-image issues at ease and enable them to access the critical tools they need to maximize their chances of losing weight in a way that will result in long-term physical and mental health."

The Less is More program will allow the user to choose the approach, speed, and intensity to match their specific needs and personality. The program will include a plan with personalized activities, instant help for use when the user is overwhelmed, and a collection of tools and strategies. Less is More will help people eat mindfully, overcome overeating, set boundaries with food, develop alternative sources of pleasure, and increase their willpower.

Mickey Beyer-Clausen, Founder and CEO of Mental Workout comments:

"With millions of Americans overweight or obese, we wanted to make the best tools available in a way that fits modern life. People need personalized guidance they can trust and easily and anonymously access when and where they want it. This is exactly what Less is More will deliver. Mental Workout's multi-device platform, combined with Dr. Ann Kearney-Cookes state-of-the-art techniques and strategies, will make it possible for people to lose weight in a new way, on their terms, and that's exciting."

Less is More will be accessible via the web and mobile devices, supporting all major mobile platforms such as iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows Phone, and Nokia QT. Program subscriptions as well as personal data will be seamlessly accessible across all devices at no extra cost, giving users unparalleled mobility and flexibility.

Santiago Horgan, M.D., chief of minimally invasive surgery and director of the UC San Diego Bariatric Metabolic Institute, said:

According to Horgan, the 1-hour procedure is comparable to the art of origami. Gastric plication is performed laparoscopically and is potentially reversible. In order to reach the stomach to place the folds, 1 to 5 incisions are made in the abdomen. One or two folds (depending on the size of the patient's stomach) are then created with non-absorbable sutures.

Horgan, explained:

Individuals undergoing the procedure are only hospitalized for 1 or 2 days and can return to normal activities in one week. Candidates must have a body mass index of at least 27.

The procedure not only helps with weight loss, but also has associated benefits according to Horgan. Several patients are able to reduce their diabetes, depression and blood pressure medications. These long-term results are the result of a combination of surgery, exercise and healthy eating.

Premier Surgical Associates is relocating its surgical weight loss program to Turkey Creek Medical Center from Parkwest Medical Center.

The first bariatric procedure at the new Tennova Center for Surgical Weight Loss at Turkey Creek Medical is scheduled for next week. It will represent the first time the surgery has been available to patients at a Tennova facility.

"We're very excited about this move. Patients are going to get the same great care and the same program capabilities," Premier CEO Kevin Burris said.

The surgical weight loss program will be under the direction of Drs. Stephen Boyce and K. Robert Williams of New Life Center for Bariatric Surgery, which is a part of Premier Surgical Associates.

The New Life Center has been affiliated with Parkwest since 2005, but those services will transition over the next couple of months to Turkey Creek Medical Center.

When asked why Premier was relocating the program, Burris deferred comment to Parkwest's parent company, Covenant Health. Premier had initially explored expanding its weight loss services, he added. Premier also operates Foothills Weight Loss Specialists in Maryville.

"Covenant was a great partner, but we're looking forward to working with Tennova," Burris said.

Covenant Health could not be reached for comment.

At Parkwest, the New Life Center saw about 750 bariatric consultations annually, resulting in about 450 bariatric surgery cases.

"The addition of this comprehensive surgical weight loss program is another example of the technology and expertise we are adding to our campus to support the community," Dr. Walt Chiles, III, chair of the medical staff leadership committee at Turkey Creek Medical Center, said in a news release.

Coach Brian Smith will gather his Missouri wrestlers for a team meal tonight in anticipation of the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, Thursday through Saturday at Scottrade Center. The pre-tourney dinner has become a ritual for the Tigers, and the table will be especially full and boisterous this year because Missouri is the only team to qualify wrestlers in all 10 weight classes.

What a change from Smith's competitive days at Michigan State in the late 1980s and early '90s.

"The night before a meet, guys would never eat," Smith said. "We'd be trying to cut 10 pounds or more before the weigh-in. I look back and say 'I'm so glad we don't have that any more.'"

But the sport needed a triple tragedy 15 years ago to see the light.

Three collegiate wrestlers died in a span of 33 days in 1997, each trying to "cut weight." The practice involves drastic methods, such as fasting, vomiting, excessive exercise in saunas or sweat suits and other dehydrating practices, to quickly drop 10 pounds or more.

Cutting weight was viewed as a point of pride, a badge of honor, a part of the culture.

The methods caused pervasive physical side effects, including fatigue and greater risk of injury because of a lack of fluids in the joints. Though considered a sign of mental toughness, cutting weight also could exact a psychological toll.

"The kids would focus on the scale instead of wrestling," Smith said. "They would worry about how much weight they had to lose vs. how to improve technique."

The NCAA Wrestling Committee moved swiftly to enact sweeping changes in the same season, and the new rules spread to the high school level within a few years.

Among the changes:

TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

A much buzzed-about natural ingredient could hold the key to burning fat more easily, and Neutra Corp. (OTCBB:NTRR.OB - News) is investigating the feasibility of adding it to the companys Pure Plus Weight Loss supplement.

Interest exploded in the fat-burning potential of raspberry ketones recently when the aromatic compound found in red raspberries was featured on The Dr. Oz Show. Raspberry ketone is an organic compound that is commonly used to produce the smell of raspberries in beverages, cosmetics and perfumes, but new evidence suggests that it could also have miraculous fat-burning properties.

In past studies involving mice, researchers found that raspberry ketones inhibited weight gain and improved fat burning in the rodents. There have been no clinical trials performed on humans yet involving the ketones, but because they are an all-natural substance with no harmful side-effects, dieters and nutritionists are already experimenting with them.

With Dr. Oz touting the miraculous properties of raspberry ketones on his show, interest has increased exponentially in this hot new fat-burner. Adding raspberry ketones to Pure Plus Weight Loss could help NTRR differentiate its product from the competition when it hits store shelves.

Pure Plus products are formulated using a unique Bio-Energy infusion process that turbocharges select ingredients on the sub-atomic level, increasing the potency of their effects. NTRR is eager to test the potential fat-burning boost delivered by Bio-Energy infusion of raspberry ketones.

Neutra Corp. is developing Pure Plus Weight Loss and other new products to compete in the fast-growing nutraceuticals industry alongside Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE:HLF),Vitamin Shoppe (NYSE:VSI),Nutraceutical International Corp.(NASDAQ:NUTR) andSchiff Nutrition International Inc. (NYSE:WNI).
