HOUSTON, TX(Marketwired March 15, 2017) Finding a reliable and healthy diet is a challenge, even though more than two-thirds of Americans suffer from excess weight gain or obesity. Many individuals battle excessive hunger between meals; insatiable cravings for unhealthy food; inability to control eating behavior or speed; and eating continuously throughout the day without any planned mealtimes. Physical inactivity and stressful lifestyles fueled by emotional eating make matters much worse.

Fad diets like the original hCG diet seem to offer a solution to these issues, making it more difficult than ever to identify an ideal diet plan. The original hCG diet, often referred to as the Simeons Diet, recommends taking low doses of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) and limiting daily consumption to just 500 calories. Unfortunately, this extreme starvation-based weight loss method leads to issues like hair loss and muscle weakness. The original hCG diet was largely unsuccessful because of its primary focus on calorie restriction and uninhibited administration of hCG without adequate understanding of health consequences.

Diet Doc, a nationally recognized weight loss program, has consistently discouraged the original Simeons method of hCG dieting and educated patients about alternatives that involve consuming between 800 to 1250 calories everyday without significantly reducing the rate of weight loss. For patients seriously considering the hCG diet, high-calorie programs that involve safer weight loss are recommended, alongside doctor-supervision and diet customization based on nutritional needs.

Regardless of their weight loss history or individual struggles, Diet Doc helps patients develop an individualized diet based on their nutritional needs or even their genetics. All Diet Doc programs, provide a doctor-supervised, customized diet plan. Instead of encouraging patients to adopt harmful dietary practices with no prior medical knowledge, Diet Doc consults with patients to provide a detailed weight loss plan based on their nutritional needs and medical history.

Losing weight with Diet Doc is safe, simple and affordable. Nutrition plans, exercise guidance, motivational support, and dietary supplements are all part of the package. Over 90% of Diet Doc patients report an average weight loss of 20 or more pounds every month and long-term weight loss maintenance is made possible through continuous counseling.

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.

Your 30th birthday is one of those big milestones everyone celebrates in some big way. Even if you hate birthdays, you probably remember what you did when you turned 30.

For Brendan O'Donnell, now 34, his 30th birthday was also a wake-up call.

The York, England, resident celebrated with his family by planning a long weekend in London, followed by a trip to Spain for a music festival.

"During the festival, I felt uncomfortable all the time," O'Donnell explained. "It was over 100 degrees and I didn't want to go out and do things. I wanted to stay inside, in the shade. I couldn't sleep. I just remember thinking, you shouldn't feel like this. This isn't right."

It was August 2013 when they returned from their trip, and O'Donnell stepped on the scale for the first time in a long time and learned he weighed 359 pounds.

He knew something had to change. O'Donnell discussed his feelings with his wife, and together they decided to join a weight-loss plan called Slimming World.

The couple decided to lose weight together and kept each other motivated!

"I wasn't convinced that a diet would work for me in the long term, but decided to give it a try," O'Donnell remembered. He and his wife tried to eat healthier before, but always wound up falling back into their old ways. Before they started on their journey, "cooking" meant taking food out of the freezer and putting it in the oven.

RELATED: Combined, this couple lost 298 pounds in a year by following these 3 steps

O'Donnell and his wife put together a weekly menu, planning out what they would eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner using new ingredients they hadn't tried before. It worked: In a week, O'Donnell had lost 13 pounds. By week two, he was down another 8 pounds.

Over the course of 10 months, O'Donnell continued to lose an average of 3.5 pounds per week. Overall, he lost 157 pounds, and his wife lost 56 pounds. Here are a few tips that O'Donnell learned along the way:

"I never did any exercise," O'Donnell said, but when he started losing weight, he decided to sign up for a couch to 5K app simply "to prove it can't be done." But after eight weeks, he ran for 30 minutes without stopping. Running has become a new healthy habit for O'Donnell, who ran a marathon last year.

Today, Brendan gives running two thumbs up.

"We made a recipe during our first week on the Slimming World program and I fell in love with it," O'Donnell recounted. "It's barbecue pulled pork, and if I haven't had it in a couple of weeks, I get upset." Other favorites included curries and lean ground-beef burgers.

"Check out stories from people who have done it before," he said. "They inspired me and made me want to give it a go. They made me think that I could succeed, too."

"I never felt deprived when I craved something like chocolate or candy. I knew I could have it because I could make an allowance in my plan," O'Donnell explained. "If I wanted to have that chocolate bar or glass of wine or beer, it wouldn't be a problem. Treats were part of the menu!"

Every time O'Donnell and his wife tried to lose weight, they wound up giving up.

"I needed plan and I needed to address my relationship with food," O'Donnell said. "What was so great about it (the Slimming World plan) was the support and the way the plan was structured to encourage people without making them feel guilty."

5 steps that helped this man lose 157 pounds in a year - Today.com

As clocks go forward this month, the summer countdown begins and we have a plan to get you beach body ready in just 10 weeks.

No fad diet or banning of food groups this is about changing your relationship with food and exercise and is the basis for an all-year guide to help you keep the weight off for good.

Health coach and nutritionist Charlotte Carroll devised her Eat Yourself Thin plan, now in book form, after clients thanked her for helping them slim, be more energetic, have greater concentration and look better than ever with glowing skin.

Charlotte, 29, writes: The important thing is changing your lifestyle and maintaining results by long-term healthy eating and exercise. Consistency is key.

You just have to realize your diet starts long before you put the food in your mouth. You have to work out why you are eating too much and make the changes.

Heres Charlottes plan for YOU...

Charlotte explains: Personality plays a huge role in our attitude to food and there are five types. Can you relate to any of these below?

Write down some of the habits around food that put you in this category. Then write down some things you could do to change them.

Impulsive

Are you unable to control your thoughts and cravings? Do you tend to eat the wrong foods at the wrong time, with no thought or consideration of consequences.

Charlotte says: You need to remove yourself from temptation and avoid excuses. Be organized and honest. Set achievable goals.

Dont plan meals with foods you dislike. Plan 'cheat' meals, social events and meals out in advance.

Put all these on a calendar, notebook or download an app so you can plan your weight-loss meals around them and keep cravings under control. That way you wont feel like you have failed."

Oblivious

Are you unaware of, or do you not pay attention to, what you eat? Do you snack while watching TV?

Charlotte says: Keep food and exercise logs. If you are working out, this needs to be documented.

You might not notice you are eating five biscuits a night in front of the TV but when you record it, you will realize this is not healthy.

Have you heard of the pain/pleasure principle?

Research shows it lies at the core of everything you do. The decisions you make and the actions you take are all based on this principle, whether youre consciously aware of it or not.

Its human nature to gravitate toward pleasure and away from pain. Well, duh.

There are layers of complexity to this, though. Before every decision you unconsciously ask yourself:

n What does this mean?

n Will it lead to pain or pleasure?

n What should I do about it?

Over the years youve had a variety of experiences. Some have been painful and led to the emotions of anger, hurt, stress, anxiety, overwhelm and depression. Other experiences induce pleasurable emotions of joy, enthusiasm, curiosity, excitement and love. These experiences represent your filter.

Researchers at the IQ Matrix organization (www.iqmatrix.com) work with consumers to do mind mapping and provide resources for working through obstacles to achieve goals. According to Adam Sicinski, author of How to Use the Pain and Pleasure Principle to Achieve a Goal, all your decisions lead to one or more of the following:

n short-term pain

n short-term pleasure

n long-term pain

n long-term pleasure.

Lets say you have a weight-loss goal. Reaching this goal will bring you long-term pleasure because you will feel better, look better and have more energy. However, getting to this point wont be easy, and youll need to go through a lot of short-term pain.

So you have the tug of the long-term goal of weight loss versus the temptation of the short-term pull of chocolate and potato chips. While the long-term goal is a pleasurable one, its a painful experience in the short term. Thats why the chips and chocolate often win at least temporarily.

Now hear this. The trick is to associate pain with not doing what you need to do and pleasure with doing what you need to do. So, lifting those weights or walking those miles actually begins to feel pleasurable over time rather than just representing a means to an end.

Procrastination is when you associate pain with doing something. You likely associate more pleasure with watching TV or surfing social media than cleaning out the closet or organizing the garage. The only problem with this is you dont make progress toward your goals, and then you end up with pain.

So you need to begin to associate pain with sitting around watching TV and pleasure with the action steps associated with your goal. While this is easier said than done, it can open a whole new way of looking at your world.

On the flip side, theres a good chance youll fall into the instant gratification trap. This is where short-term pleasure has more influence on your decision-making process than long-term pleasure or short-term pain.

Thats why its so important to keep images of your long-term goals all around you pictures, vision boards, etc. Your brain thinks in pictures.

Set up your support system before you launch headlong into lofty goals:

n Put some short-term pleasure in the mix.

n Give yourself little rewards along the way.

n Plan for setbacks, and then get back on that diving board.

It all comes down to how much pain and pleasure you associate with achieving your goals, and not beating yourself up repeatedly.

Your behaviors didnt fall into place overnight, and they cant be flipped like a light switch. Preparing for change is a critical part of the process, according to Sicinski. Take some time to ask yourself:

n What limiting habits are holding me back?

n What emotions or beliefs are tied to these behaviors?

n What patterns pop up?

n When did this behavior originate in my life?

n Why am I letting it continue?

n What is this costing me physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually or financially?

n What am I missing by continuing this behavior?

n How has this behavior sabotaged me over and over?

n How has this affected my relationships and my state of mind?

n What are five challenges I face with pulling this off?

n What beliefs and habits do I need to let go?

n What resources do I need?

n What and who are my support systems?

n How can I make this a priority?

n What regrets will I have during the next five years if I continue down this path?

After digging deep, try a new thought process:

My new behavior is:

n How do I feel physically, mentally and emotionally?

n How do I think about myself?

n How do I act around others?

n How has this change positively affected other areas of my life?

Over time you can begin to anchor in new approaches to your challenges. These checklists can be used time and time again to set your compass.

It all depends on where you want to go in your life and what youre willing to do to get there.

The pain and pleasure cycles of your life - The Exponent Telegram (press release) (registration)

By Mayo Clinic News Network

Hundreds of fad diets, weight-loss programs and outright scams promise quick and easy weight loss. However, the foundation of every successful weight-loss program remains a healthy, calorie-controlled diet combined with exercise. For successful, long-term weight loss, you must make permanent changes in your lifestyle and health habits.

How do you make those permanent changes? Consider following these six strategies for weight-loss success.

Permanent weight loss takes time and effort -- and a lifelong commitment. Make sure that you're ready to make permanent changes and that you do so for the right reasons.

To stay committed to your weight loss, you need to be focused. It takes a lot of mental and physical energy to change your habits. So as you're planning new weight-loss-related lifestyle changes, make a plan to address other stresses in your life first, such as financial problems or relationship conflicts. While these stresses may never go away completely, managing them better should improve your ability to focus on achieving a healthier lifestyle. Then, once you're ready to launch your weight-loss plan, set a start date and then -- start.

No one else can make you lose weight. You must undertake diet and exercise changes to please yourself. What's going to give you the burning drive to stick to your weight-loss plan? Make a list of what's important to you to help stay motivated and focused, whether it's an upcoming beach vacation or better overall health. Then find a way to make sure that you can call on your motivational factors during moments of temptation. Perhaps you want to post an encouraging note to yourself on the pantry door, for instance.

While you have to take responsibility for your own behavior for successful weight loss, it helps to have support -- of the right kind. Pick people to support you who will encourage you in positive ways, without shame, embarrassment or sabotage. Ideally, find people who will listen to your concerns and feelings, spend time exercising with you or creating healthy menus, and who will share the priority you've placed on developing a healthier lifestyle. Your support group can also offer accountability, which can be a strong motivation to stick to your weight-loss goals. If you prefer to keep your weight-loss plans private, be accountable to yourself by having regular weigh-ins and recording your diet and exercise progress in a journal.

It may seem obvious to set realistic weight-loss goals. But do you really know what's realistic? Over the long term, it's best to aim for losing 1 to 2 pounds (0.5 to 1 kilogram) a week, although initially you might lose weight more quickly than that if you make significant changes -- just be sure the changes are health supporting. To lose 1 to 2 pounds a week, you need to burn 500 to 1,000 calories more than you consume each day, through a lower calorie diet and regular exercise.

When you're setting goals, think about both process and outcome goals. "Exercise regularly" is an example of a process goal, while "Lose 30 pounds" is an example of an outcome goal. It isn't essential that you have an outcome goal, but you should set process goals because changing your processes -- your habits -- is a key to weight loss. Also make sure that your goals are SMART: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-limited. An example of a SMART goal is aiming to walk for 30 minutes a day, five days a week for the next three months, and logging your results.

Adopting a new eating style that promotes weight loss must include lowering your total calorie intake. But decreasing calories need not mean giving up taste, satisfaction or even ease of meal preparation. One way you can lower your calorie intake is by eating more plant-based foods -- fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Strive for variety to help you achieve your goals without giving up taste or nutrition.

In particular, get your weight loss started by eating a healthy breakfast every day; eating at least four servings of vegetables and three servings of fruits daily; and using healthy fats, such as olive oil, vegetable oils and nut butters. In addition, cut back on sugar, choose low-fat dairy products and keep meat consumption to a 3-ounce portion (about the size of a deck of cards).

The key to weight loss is burning more calories than you consume. Because 3,500 calories equals about 1 pound (0.5 kilogram) of fat, you need to burn 3,500 calories more than you take in to lose 1 pound. So if you cut 500 calories from your typical diet each day, you'd lose about 1 pound a week (500 calories x 7 days = 3,500 calories).

While you can lose weight without exercise, exercise plus calorie restriction can help give you the weight-loss edge. Exercise can help burn off the excess calories you can't cut through diet alone. Exercise also offers numerous health benefits, including boosting your mood, strengthening your cardiovascular system and reducing your blood pressure. Exercise can also help in maintaining weight loss. Studies show that people who maintain their weight loss over the long term get regular physical activity.

How many calories you burn depends on the frequency, duration and intensity of your activities. One of the best ways to lose body fat is through steady aerobic exercise -- such as brisk walking -- for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. Any extra movement helps burn calories, though. Lifestyle activities may be easier to fit into your day. Think about ways you can increase your physical activity throughout the day if you can't fit in formal exercise on a given day. For example, make several trips up and down stairs instead of using the elevator, or park at the far end of the lot when shopping.

It's not enough to eat healthy foods and exercise for only a few weeks or even months if you want long-term, successful weight loss. These habits must become a way of life. Lifestyle changes start with taking an honest look at your eating patterns and daily routine. After assessing your personal challenges to weight loss, try working out a strategy to gradually change habits and attitudes that have sabotaged your past efforts. And you have to move beyond simply recognizing your challenges -- you have to plan for how you'll deal with them if you're going to succeed in losing weight once and for all.

You likely will have an occasional setback. But instead of giving up entirely after a setback, simply start fresh the next day. Remember that you're planning to change your life. It won't happen all at once. Stick to your healthy lifestyle and the results will be worth it.

Weight loss: 6 strategies for success - WJXT Jacksonville

HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - March 10, 2017) - As springtime hits, many dieters will once again be chasing the elusive 'summer body' through a combination of exercise programs, supplements and fad dieting. Advertisers in the health and fitness market will be ramping up their product visibility to consumers to accommodate the increased interest. Realistically however, the bikini body can be difficult to achieve within a few short months, as fad dieting and supplementation are usually temporary fixes that result in fast weight loss that eventually plateaus or is reversed within mere weeks.

Getting a beach body within a few short months is difficult when one is adhering to diet programs that aren't body specific. Most diets on the market target everyone, whether a consumer needs to lose just 10 lbs or 200 lbs. The problem with this is that such programs don't take individual body composition into account nor do they focus on long-term nutritional goals. Thus, the results are often underwhelming. For instance, if one wants to tone the body and build muscle mass, this will involve an exercise program along with increases in protein consumption and carbohydrates. If one wants to simply lose fat, a ketogenic diet may work quickly. However, ketogenic diets often cause side effects such as moodiness, low-energy and irritability, which can all affect an individual's ability to exercise. This is also the case with low-calorie dieting, as it often robs dieters of much-needed energy.

So, if someone is looking to obtain that summer body within the next few months, the quickest way to get there is with a comprehensive program that addresses nutrition, increases energy and melts fat rapidly. For these reasons, Diet Doc's Medical Weight Loss team has created its new Jumpstart Diet which tailors to the specific needs of the individual to encourage healthy, long-term weight loss success. Patients on the Jumpstart Diet are losing up to 20 pounds per month without enduring hunger pangs, fatigue and nutritional imbalances. Furthermore, Diet Doc's nutritional coaches and certified doctors offer unlimited support by phone to ensure that your goals are reached in time for the summer season.

New Diet Doc patients can call or easily and effortlessly visit https://www.dietdoc.com to complete an initial comprehensive, yet simple, health questionnaire and schedule an immediate personal, no-cost consultation. Diet Doc Physicians all received specialized training in nutritional science and fast weight loss. Diet Doc reviews each patient's health history to create a personalized diet plan geared for fast weight loss, or that addresses life-long issues causing weight loss to slow down or stop. Nutritionists work personally with each patient and use their own algorithm to craft meal and snack plans that are compatible with each patient's age, gender, activity level, food preferences, nutritional needs and medical conditions. They combine these state of the art diet plans with pure, prescription diet products that enable their patients to resist the temptation to reach for sugary snacks, eliminate fatigue and curb the appetite. Over 97% of Diet Doc patients report incredible weight loss results with the majority losing 20 or more pounds per month.

At Diet Doc, all patients gain unlimited access to the best minds in the business. Their staff of doctors, nurses, nutritionists and coaches are available 6 days per week to answer questions, offer suggestions, address concerns and lend their professional guidance and support. Because of this, more and more people are turning to Diet Doc for their weight management needs. Diet plans are tailored to be specific to the needs of those of any age, gender, shape or size and for those who are struggling to lose that final 10-20 pounds to those who must lose 100 pounds or more. Call today to request a private, confidential, no-cost online consultation.

Diet Doc Helps Patients Achieve the Elusive Summer Body Within the Upcoming Months - Marketwired (press release)

A mere four months after giving birth to Dream Kardashian, Blac Chyna has reached peak snapback.

The mom of two has been flaunting her figure on Instagram since she was just nine days post-partum. And if you thought she looked great then, you need to see the way she's looking now!

Chyna credits her snapback to waist trainers and teas. Naturally, she is a spokesperson for both. But do those things actually work? We have reason to be skeptical.

But wait, there's more. These products that are supposed to help you out actually screw you over in the long run.

From Marie Claire's report on waist trainers:

When you wear this 500-year-old device, you squish your lungs and ribs, which makes it hard to breathe. (Duh.)Some women have actually passed out from wearing one for too long, says Christopher Ochner, Ph.D., weightloss and nutrition expert at Mount Sinai Hospital. And if you keep wearing it for an extended period of time? It ain't pretty: Thinkcrushed organs,compressed lungs, and fractured ribs.

Yikes. There doesn't appear to be any information backing this theorized health aid. Same goes for the teas.

Teen Vogue talked to experts about alleged fitness teas:

While some studies have shown a link between caffeine consumption and weight loss, others have also gone on to find a link between caffeine consumption and weight gain, leaving the evidence for weight loss from caffeine consumption in thedark. But daytime teas dont stop at caffeine: some also contain dandelion root, another known diuretic. The weight loss [from detox teas] is primarily, and probably all, water weight,Dr. Karin Kratina, a nationally recognized nutrition therapist, tellsTeen Vogue. If true weight loss occurs, it is because a caloric deficit also occurred from a change in eating habits.

Basically, ingesting senna is going to make you have go to the bathroom a lot. And afterwards youre going to feel lighter because you have successfully emptied out the entire contents of your intestines. While pooping out a pound or two might seem like an activity thats innocent enough, the laxative process isnt usually quick or painless. As ridiculous as it sounds, trips to the bathroom can take hours to complete after senna use. Its why youllfind warnings likeensure you have ready access to a toilet during the day until you know how your body reacts to the tea" on nighttime detox teas.

The U.S. National Library of Medicine claims these areexpected side effectsof senna, but they also state: Don't use senna for more than two weeks. Longer use can cause the bowels to stop functioning normally and might cause dependence on laxatives. Long-term use can also change the amount or balance of some chemicals in the blood (electrolytes) that can cause heart function disorders, muscle weakness, liver damage, and other harmful effects.

Damn. Unless you're Nicki Minaj, this probably isn't what you're going for. Though we'd all love to believe there are quick ways to lose weight, science tells us that's just not so. Can't blame the celebs for promoting these things and getting their coin. It's up to all of us to conduct research and not just listen to something that's an #ad on Instagram.

In any case, can't deny that BC is looking incredible these days. Talk about revenge body.
