Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 06, 2012
Diet Doc HCG Diet & Weight Loss announces the arrival of their new chef-inspired hCG diet food line. The entrees were created by top chefs with vast knowledge in the diet foods allowed while on the HCG diet.
Diet Doc HCG Diet offers a comprehensive, doctor-supervised, modern-day HCG diet and weight loss program with unlimited clinical support. Diet Doc offers everything needed to help HCG dieters achieve rapid, safe doctor-supervised weight loss with the convenience of hCG diet foods, weight loss shakes and weight loss oil clinically proven to burn fat.
Diet Doc's Weight Loss Program includes unlimited low glycemic vegetables, fruits, and a menu that includes chicken, lean red meat and fish. Diet Doc Dieters typically eat egg white omelets, Thai chicken soup, salad with unlimited vegetables and a unique salad dressing or cooking oil which is flavorless, yet clinically proven to burn fat. HCG dieters can use as much as they like of this weight loss oil to make salad dressing or for cooking. In between meals, Diet Doc provides a unique weight loss shake with essential micro nutrients, carbohydrate blockers and protein to keep Diet Doc Dieters feeling full and energized.
Diet Doc offers the modern day version of a 50 year old HCG diet and developed 4 other diet programs rolled into one that then personalizes the diet for every person to achieve an average of 1 pound of weight loss per day. Unsure which diet works best, with various fad diets, such as the NV diet pill, Snooki, b12 weight loss, the list goes on and on. None of these types of diets are doctor-supervised and none listed are based on medical nutritional weight loss science.
Diet Doc offers one month of prescription medication, one month of weight loss shakes, one month of weight loss cooking/salad dressing oil and hCG diet food that is clinically proven to help dieters start burning fat within 30 minutes of consuming, along with the Diet Doc workbook outlining the modern-day version of the Diet Doc HCG diet and a cookbook, plus unlimited nurse, doctor and weight loss consultant support 6 days per week priced at under $275 (pricing does not reflect the doctor and nurse initial consultation) reports Wright.

Got a success story of your own? Send it to us at success.stories@huffingtonpost.com and you could be featured on the site!
Name: Linda Goff
Age: 44
Height: 5'8"
Before Weight: 303 pounds (possibly more -- I stopped getting on the scale)
How I Gained It: "How in the world did this happen?" I distinctly remember asking myself that question as I sat on the dressing-room floor. I was in one of the few stores in my small town that carried plus-sized jeans. In order to get this pair zipped, I knew that I had to suck in my gut, lay as flat as possible on the floor and tug the zipper with both hands. It was the largest pair of jeans on the shelf. If I couldn't get them to fasten, I was going to be out of luck.
How did this former cheerleader become morbidly obese? To someone who has never been overweight, the idea that 150 extra pounds can "sneak-up" on a person probably seems ridiculous, but that is how it felt to me. I don't ever remember waking up one day and realizing that I was the size of two adult women. It was such a gradual process. If something looked good, I ate it (without a single thought about calories or portion size). My weight problem was the result of tiny, minute-by-minute decisions made over the course of 20 years.
For almost two decades, I tried to buy my way out of obesity, spending thousands of dollars on fad diets, weight-loss shakes and pills. I learned from experience that all those drugs could do was turn a 300-pound woman into a 300-pound woman with the jitters. After my insurance company said no to gastric bypass surgery, I gave up the idea of ever losing weight through "old-fashioned" dieting. I thought it was God's will for me to obese.
Breaking Point: I realized that I couldn't afford to pay for gastric bypass surgery on my own and secretly hoped that if I were heavier, I'd be approved for the surgery by my insurance company -- maybe I would get the green light if I weighed 350 pounds or even 400? My weight-gain plan was nearly flawless: I ignored food labels, avoided exercise and hid from cameras. I even stopped going to the doctor to eliminate that awkward "hop on the scale" moment.
Everything with this scheme fell apart in 2007. It was painful, but I saw how my obesity was damaging my marriage. I was daring my husband to find me attractive at 200 pounds, 250 pounds, okay, how about 300 pounds? He never told me that I was fat, but I was afraid that one day we would simply live together "as friends" because my body seemed so unattractive to me. That thought broke my heart.
I always believed that my body was my problem and my problem alone. I wasn't hurting anyone else, right? One day in March of 2007 I woke up and understood that my unhealthy choices had a lot of victims -- including my husband and my two sons. I prayed for the strength to do the right thing for my family. I had to confess that my eating was out of control and that "paying my way out" wasn't the answer.
How I Lost It: My first step was to realize that I didn't need to spend money on another get-thin-quick scheme. I wanted a plan that allowed me to be a good steward of my money and my body. I created a "Skinny Budget Diet" where I read labels for nutrition and calorie information and made smarter food choices. I started shopping for more items along the outside walls of the grocery store (where the fresh stuff is found), used inexpensive sandwich bags and containers to divide my food into the proper portions (to keep from overeating) and walked my dog for exercise (because she was chubby, too).
I also did research before dining out, because restaurant food was always my weakness. By looking up the nutritional information online, I knew which foods could fit within my daily calorie goals. When a server offered to show me a menu, I could say "No, thanks." I didn't need to see pictures of onion rings and chocolate lava cakes. I had a plan, and 2,000 calories a day became a lot of food when I made smart choices.
My weight loss was slow. On a good week, I would lose two pounds. It was a journey that required patience; sometimes the scale wouldn't move for two or three weeks at a time! Instead of quitting (like I'd done so many times before), I was determined. I refused to go back to my old ways of eating even when my weight loss seemed stuck. I know that the support I received from my husband and my church is what kept me from quitting.
After nearly 18 months on my "skinny budget" plan, I had dropped from a size 26 to a 145-pound size six. I've stayed at this healthy size for more than two years. I believe that my blog is a big reason that the string finally broke on my yo-yo dieting habit. Every week, I gently nag other people to "get stubborn" about fighting obesity at blog.thywillpower.com. It keeps me honest. I can't talk the talk in other people's homes without walking the walk in my own.
After Weight: 145 pounds

Weight Loss Success: Linda Goff Ditched Fad Diets And Lost 150 Pounds
Posted: February 6, 2012 at 1:51 pm
I’m finding it very difficult to maintain my New Years resolution to get into shape. Between frigid weather, a bout of illness, and losing my exercise partner, I had trouble getting the numbers on the scale to budge. As I was about to throw the scale out the window, I lost five pounds all at once.
Maybe that boosted my confidence, or maybe it was the warmer weather this past week. Then again it might be that I was just fitted for a bridesmaid dress, which I convinced the store to order once size smaller. Now I’m truly committed.
Then again, part of the problem with losing weight is that I’m still nursing. Many women lose weight quickly while breastfeeding. I am one of the unfortunate who seem to hold onto every last pound.
Not that this is surprising. Nursing requires an additional 500 calories per day. Depending on your body and your overall lifestyle, that could mean your metabolism either slows down to retain the fat it needs, or in the process of producing milk, it burns off.
This also means that dieting while nursing can be risky. That’s because fat is more than stored energy – fat cells also hold onto toxins in the body. Excessive working out means a rapid release of toxins… which will end up in baby’s breast milk.
Naturopathic doctor Doni Wilson recommends nursing mothers stay away from any type of detoxification or cleansing program for this reason. Quick fix and fad diets are also unhealthy since a sudden drop in weight can do more than release toxins into breast milk – it can also be detrimental to your milk supply.
Luckily regular, moderate exercise is not only safe for mom and baby, but it’s also important for building muscle. Muscle burns calories faster, even while resting. Building muscle also requires cardiovascular strength, so I’ve been walking, taking an exercise class, periodically running, and have recently added yoga to the mix. Hopefully as I build muscle, the weight and inches will begin to melt away.
As far as diet, Wilson also recommends eating smaller servings more frequently. This is nothing new for me, as I’ve always needed to do this to maintain a healthy blood sugar level. It has, however, continued to be a struggle, especially now that I’m running after two kids. Whereas I always make sure my 2-year-old has something to eat at all times, I for some reason skimp on myself and end up overeating later. Wilson said something as small as a half a protein bar can be considered a small meal or snack. Then again maybe I should bring double of my daughter’s snacks whenever we head out. Something else I might try is eating every time I nurse. That way I’m sure the baby and I both get the calories we need.
For nursing moms who want to keep their resolution to lose weight, don’t be discouraged. With careful planning and conscious habits the weight will come off. According to a 2000 article published in the New England Journal of Medicine, nursing mothers who lost one pound per week did not seem to adversely affect their milk supply. The study was conducted during when the babies were 4 to 12 weeks old – a critical time for milk production and infant growth. Any nursing mother, whether or not she’s trying to lose weight, should ensure that they drink plenty of water at all times, as water is essential to milk production.
The study article stated that mothers who are more than three months post partum are more likely to lose fat – so take heart – although it may take time, with planning and patience, it is possible to get healthy while keeping your baby healthy, too.

Achieving weight loss while breastfeeding

SALT LAKE CITY — Sunnyside Avenue is going on a diet, and several neighbors aren't happy about it.
City transportation officials plan to begin testing a "four-lane road diet" along Sunnyside Avenue between Guardsman Way and Foothill Drive later this month or in early March. The "diet" would reduce the number of travel lanes from five — two lanes in each direction and a median/turn lane — to four by converting one westbound lane into a bike lane.
The project is part of Salt Lake City's Complete Streets initiative, a citywide effort to design and operate streets safely for all users — pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities.
The testing phase is expected to run for six weeks and, depending on data collected, could be modified in April to include one eastbound lane being converted into a bike lane.
Several residents who spoke at the Yalecrest Community Council meeting Wednesday night in the Carmen B. Pingree Center said the prospect of a three-lane street — one in each direction, with a median/turn lane — worries them.
"Where are all the cars going to go?" asked resident Rosemary Burbidge, adding that it appears to her the city is catering to bicyclists at the expense of everyone else.
If you put that down to one lane, I'm not going to be able to turn right onto Sunnyside from the neighborhood.
–- Margaret Tennant
Margaret Tennant said traffic already is backed up on Sunnyside Avenue on weekday mornings.
"If you put that down to one lane, I'm not going to be able to turn right onto Sunnyside from the neighborhood," Tennant said.
Robin Hutcheson, Salt Lake City's new transportation director, said the project has been designed to address concerns about the east-west corridor raised by residents during a workshop in March.
Residents at that meeting told city planners that Sunnyside is difficult to cross for several reasons, including a shortage of crosswalks, the width of the street and the speed limit. Other concerns included the safety of cyclists, who said the westbound bike lanes on Sunnyside aren't wide enough.
Hutcheson fielded dozens of questions from the 100-plus residents who attended Wednesday's meeting, the majority of which came from those opposed to the test. That said, a show of hands following Hutcheson's presentation showed a 50-50 split on those who want to stop the test and those who want the city to move forward.
"Feedback has been very mixed from the day we started this project," Hutcheson said.
Transportation consultants Fehr & Peers have recommended that the city use a resurfacing project already scheduled for this summer to determine whether reducing lanes for motorists would work on Sunnyside Avenue.
Hutcheson said information about traffic volume and travel times will be collected throughout the test, and that information will then be shared with the community.
But residents are concerned that changes implemented for testing purposes will remain permanent — no matter what the collected data say.
I am very supportive of a number of the Complete Street concepts that the council prior to me has discussed. But I think we can accomplish a lot of the same things without eliminating lanes.
–- Charlie Luke
A successful test, Hutcheson said, would include the community being supportive of the project.
"The proposal is not to go out and permanently reduce lanes of traffic," she said. "That's not what we're talking about. What we're talking about is taking this study to the next level by testing it."
If the "road diet" doesn't work for Sunnyside Avenue, the consultants recommend the city pursue a "narrow median" concept, which would maintain two travel lanes in each direction but remove the center turn lane in some locations and replace it with a narrow, landscaped median.
That alignment would allow for 4- to 5-foot-wide bike lines in each direction, according to the consultants.
Whatever alignment the city ultimately supports, it would run from 900 East to Foothill Drive, including the section of 800 South between 900 East and 1300 East — before it becomes Sunnyside Avenue.
First-year Salt Lake City Councilman Charlie Luke attended Wednesday's meeting and said the feedback he has received about lane reductions on Sunnyside has been overwhelmingly negative.
"I am very supportive of a number of the Complete Street concepts that the council prior to me has discussed," Luke told Yalecrest residents. "But I think we can accomplish a lot of the same things without eliminating lanes."
A decision on how the street will be restriped is expected in late May.

Diet Coke. David Greene likes it.
I would like to rise up today in defense of Diet Coke. All diet sodas, in fact. But Diet Coke happens to be my favorite.
I like the stuff.
Cracking open a can of it, or pouring some over ice, helps me survive a long work day.
This love of Diet Coke is one reason my re-entry into the United States has been a little rocky. When I moved back recently after a reporting assignment in Russia, nobody warned me that war had been declared on Diet Coke.
The artillery was fired by Men's Health magazine.
I had heard the old argument that Diet Coke doesn't live up to its billing as a diet-helper.
But now, in the magazine, comes the accusation that diet sodas make you eat more?
The magazine cited a study, claiming that if you give up regular soft drinks and start downing diet soda, you end up eating more desserts, more bread and you get fatter.
I'm willing to take serious advice about better eating. Goodness knows, battling obesity is one of the most serious challenges in the U.S. today.
But living abroad helped me to see just how obsessed we are in the U.S. about giving each other tips about what not to put in our mouths.
Just for fun, here are a few other gems from Men's Health.
If you're hung over, choose asparagus.
I'll quote the magazine: "When South Korean researchers exposed a group of human liver cells to asparagus extract, it suppressed free radicals and more than doubled the activity of two enzymes that metabolize alcohol."
Really?

OK, how about this one: Practice total recall. The magazine quotes British scientists who said if you think about your last meal before snacking, you'll remember how satisfying that meal was, and you'll be less in the mood to snack.
I call baloney.
I can't remember the last time thinking back to my ham and cheese sandwich suddenly made me less interested in the pretzels on my desk.
Definitely my favorite: Turn off the TV. The magazine says people who watch TV during a meal chow down almost 300 calories more than a non-TV watcher.
I know I'm no scientist. But I'm sorry. If you're listening to this radio program while eating a fat-free yogurt, can we jump to the conclusion that radio-listening will make you a healthier eater?
Count me as unconvinced.

10-01-2012 11:14 This is weight loss minus the "sales pitch" and "professional expert/sales people" that get ALL of you, looking to lose weight, to buy a Gimic/Product. Weight loss is NOT complex...stop letting companies sell you and tell you "HOW" to lose weight...they'll tell you, you need what they have to offer, because they are a "business", hence why they hired someone you recognize to "sponsor" the product/service plus whatever other (enter diarrhea of the mouth sales pitch and credentials here).
