The S.E.R. Institute, a holistic wellness center, is now offering the DNA Weight Loss Solution to their menu of health services with health coaching by Certified Holistic Health and Nutrition Coach, Jessica Hernandez.

Miami, Florida (PRWEB) October 17, 2012

A Stanford University study researched the long-term effects of weight loss using randomly different assigned diets. The results showed that some participants lost weight on one type of diet, such as low-fat, while others did not. The study then tested participants' DNA for 3 specific gene variations and found that those using the best diet for their DNA lost as much as 2.5 times more weight than those not using their best DNA diet.

The good news is that knowledge is power! Once we test your DNA, we can tell you what foods your body will burn faster, and which foods you should stay away from. comments Jessica Hernandez, Certified Holistic Health & Nutrition Coach at The S.E.R. Institute.

DNA weight loss testing reveals the best diet for each individual. Results will show whether a low-fat, low-carb or balanced diet can best help the person lose weight. Studies have shown that genetics have a large part in determining how our bodies react to food. A persons genes predetermine how their metabolism works and how their body will burn calories.

This weight-loss program compliments our holistic approach to health-care says Dr. Daniel Bravo, Director at The S.E.R. Institute. Using the latest genetic research, we can now provide a customized program based on your own genes he adds.

Jessica Hernandez received her training as a Health Coach from the Institute for integrative Nutritions cutting edge Health Coach Training Program. She is knowledgeable in holistic nutrition, health coaching, and preventive health.

New DNA Weight Loss Program is Now being Offered at The S.E.R. Institute!

By Alan Mozes HealthDay Reporter Latest Diet & Weight Management News

MONDAY, Oct. 15 (HealthDay News) -- A prescription medication originally developed to treat epilepsy may help obese adults shed weight when combined with routine nutritional counseling, researchers say.

Patients who took 400 milligrams of the anti-seizure drug zonisamide daily for a year lost nearly 7.5 pounds more on average than those assigned to dietaryand lifestyle changes alone, the new study found. But they also suffered more side effects than patients not taking the medication.

"The question was to see if more weight loss could be achieved if we provided decent quality lifestyle intervention, mostly dietary counseling, along with this medication," said study lead author Dr. Kishore Gadde, director of the Obesity Clinical Trials Program at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C.

"And the answer was yes," Gadde said.

The research, funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, appears online Oct. 15 in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine.

For obese men and women who can't control their weight through diet and lifestyle changes, nonsurgical options are limited, the study authors noted. Just a few prescription medications are approved in the United States for long-term treatment of obesity, including orlistat (brand name Xenical) and lorcaserin hydrochloride (Belviq).

Gadde and colleagues set out to follow up on a 16-week investigation they conducted in 2003 that had indicated that zonisamide (Zonegran) at a dosage of 400 milligrams a day might offer an alternative.

Between 2006 and 2011 the study team randomly assigned more than 200 obese men and women to one of three groups. One group took 200 milligrams of zonisamide daily, another got 400 mg of zonisamide daily and one received a dummy pill. The participants' average age was 43, and their average body-mass index (BMI) was nearly 38. BMI is a calculation of body fat based on height and weight, and a BMI of more than 30 is considered obese. None had diabetes.

All study participants followed their treatment plan for one year. During this time, they all also received monthly individualized nutritional counseling, which Gadde described as "not intensive," to help them reduce their overall caloric intake.

Epilepsy Drug Shows Promise as Weight-Loss Aid, Study Says

Obese patients are often stuck in a cycle of painful joints and limited mobility. Although many go through joint replacement surgery to get back on their feet, many patients are unsuccessful in losing weight and keeping it off. Dr. Hooman Shabatian of LAP-BAND VIP said weight loss surgery is a viable option for obese patients who have failed to lose weight through traditional methods.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 16, 2012

Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial to keeping the joints in good condition, and being overweight puts an extra burden on weight-bearing joints, said Dr. Shabatian, adding that many of his patients explain they cannot lose weight because of painful joints limiting their ability to exercise. Weight loss, even a small amount, is beneficial in helping obese, arthritic patients get as close to pain-free as possible.

Weight loss eases the pressure on lower-body joints, allowing patients to be more mobile and experience less pain. Of the 700,000 knee- and hip-replacement surgeries performed every year in the U.S., many of the patients are obese. Joint replacement surgery, also called total joint arthroplasty (TJA), is a common procedure for obese patients whose lower-body joints face wear and tear due to excess weight. Joint replacement candidates are often told to lose weight to prevent osteoarthritis, a painful condition where the cartilage in joints is worn away from the stress of carrying too much weight. However, the majority of patients do not lose weight after TJA surgery, as determined in a study published in the September issue of Clinical Orthopedics and Related Research.

In their research, the San Diego State and UC San Diego team assumed weight loss would occur following TJA surgery because mobility and activity could increase with pressure relieved on weight-bearing joints. However, the researchers revealed: "We found no conclusive evidence that weight or body composition increases, decreases or remains the same after total joint replacement."

Although the study is inconclusive because of the small number of participants, Dr. Shabatian said the probable reason TJA patients cannot lose weight is because they do not successfully change their lifestyle after surgery by eating and exercising properly.

No surgery can guarantee long-term weight loss without 100 percent participation of the patient, and at LAP-BAND VIP we thoroughly educate our patients about the lifestyle changes they will have to make to be successful at losing weight, said Dr. Shabatian. The good news is they dont have to go through the weight loss journey alone, and a caring team of professionals, such as a bariatric surgeon and nutritionist , will help them through the process.

###

Dr. Hooman Shabatian obtained his medical degree from Chicago Medical School and started his surgical career with an internship at Cornell University associated with Lincoln Medical Center in New York. Dr. Shabatian performed his first LAP-BAND procedure in 2002 under the supervision of LAP-BAND pioneer Dr. Shayani at the Loyola University Medical School. Dr. Shabatian is a Board-Certified Surgeon and a member of the American College of Surgeons.

The holidays are coming up, and it can be a dangerous trap for those trying to lose weight. However, researchers have found that while diet is an important factor, exercise plays an important role as well. A new study by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive Kidney Disease (NIDDK) recently revealed that modest diet and exercise could help decrease body fat and sustain muscle in adults.

The study, conducted under the National Institutes of Health, was recently featured in the online edition of Obesity. The findings showcased that both diet and exercise play a role in weight loss, as opposed to only diet alone. Researchers looked at data from 11 participants of The Biggest Loser, a reality television show on the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) that showcases obese adults who lose weight over a number of months. The scientists specifically studied the impact of a restricted diet and strenuous exercise regime.

By including the shows contestants as voluntary study participants, this research took advantage of a cost-efficient opportunity to study a small group of obese individuals already engaged in an intensive lifestyle intervention, remarked NIDDK senior investigator Kevin Hall, who is unaffiliated with the television program, in a prepared statement.

In the project, the researchers found the body fat, resting metabolic rate (amount of energy that was used during periods of inactivity), and total energy expenditure of participants at the start of the program, during the third week, and at week 30. Week 30 was also the week in which participants returned home after training at an isolated ranch for 17 weeks. The average weight loss in the program was 128 pounds, with approximately 82 percent pounds lost due to reduction of body fat and the other 98 percent based off the preservation of lean tissue. The researchers believe that the preservation of lean tissue brought a number of benefits to the individuals, including maintaining strength and mobility while also lowering the risk of injury.

To calculate the changes in diet and exercise along with the weight loss, the scientists utilized a mathematical computer model that focused on the differences in human metabolism. The computer model looked at the results due to specifically diet and exercise as opposed to other factors that may have been involved. Through an exercise simulation, they determined that participants who adapted moderate lifestyle changes could keep their weight loss and prevent weight gain; these small changes included activities like participating in 20 minutes of daily intense exercise or decreasing calories by 20 percent .

This study reinforces the need for a healthy diet and exercise in our daily lives, remarked Dr. Griffin P. Rodgers, NIDDK Director, in the statement. It also illustrates how the science of metabolism and mathematical modeling can be used to develop sound recommendations for sustainable weight loss an important tool in the treatment of obesity based on an individuals unique circumstances.

The research comes at the right time. According to the NIH, over two-thirds of U.S. adults who are 20 years and older are overweight or obese. As well, over one-third of adults are considered obese. Individuals who are considered obese have a greater risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain forms of cancer.

Of course every surgical procedure comes with the degree of risk and patients considering bariatric surgery should attend a free weight-loss seminar held monthly at the Stanly Surgical Weight Loss Center office to learn more about the procedures available to them and what life after surgery entails.

Stanly Surgical Weight Loss Center Receives 5 Star Patient Care Recognition

LA Weight Loss launches its Slim Sipping Cookbook with something for everyone in the family.

Greensboro, North Carolina (PRWEB) October 15, 2012

While drinking water frequently is important for weight loss and general good health, its nice to have a drink with some flavor and pizzazz every once in a while. Unfortunately, many alternatives to plain H2O like sugary sodas or rich, creamy lattes are easy ways to guzzle unnecessary calories. In fact, the average American consumes an extra 245 calories a day from soft drinks. Thats nearly 90,000 calories a year! Divide that by the 3,500 calories it takes to gain or lose a pound of fat and that translates into 25 pounds a year that could be lost by replacing soda with healthier beverages. With LAs Slim Sipping cookbook, LA Weight Loss nutritionists have developed over 20 program-approved recipes that the whole family will enjoy. Heres just a sampling of recipes sure to meet the approval of any breakfast skipper, sweet tooth or coffee fiend in the family.

The Breakfast Skipper: Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but old habits die hard with the breakfast skipper. If oatmeal or egg-white omelets seem like too much of a change to stomach, start forming good lifelong habits with a smoothie as part of a healthy breakfast instead. Try a delicious good morning Jump-Start Energy Drink made by blending fibre cereal, strawberries, milk and yogurt. Or make a Frozen Fruit Smoothie by placing raspberries, a banana, orange juice, yogurt and vanilla extract in a blender and blend until smooth. Best of all, both are on-program and good for the whole family!

The Sweet Tooth: Out of sight doesnt always equal out of mind. While unhealthy sweets and snacks may have been banished from the cupboards, sometimes they still sneak back into the house via ice-cream shop stops, Halloween treats or holiday baking. If willpower isnt enough, try bringing leftover treats into work to share with the office. Next, get to the root of the sweet tooth: address a sugar fix with some sweet alternatives. Set a good example by curbing that sweet tooth with a Banana Split Shake, Lemon Meringue Shake or Creamsicle Shake. For a recipe the kids can enjoy, substitute SlimDown powder with Greek yogurt or frozen yogurt before blending the remainder of the ingredients.

The Coffee Fiend: Is someone in the family craving creamy coffee-based concoctions? With a chill in the air, it becomes tempting to warm up with seasonally inspired menu additions. But spiced syrups can be loaded with calories. Save bucks by making healthier versions of favorite fall drinks at home instead. Invest in a thermos and brew Hot Chai Tea or Spiced Coffee. Or for a refreshing treat, try an icy Coffee Granita.

Dieters often have difficulty integrating their family into their new, healthier lifestyle, said Caroline Kolompar, Chief Marketing Officer of LA Weight Loss Centers. LA Weight Loss focuses on real foods available anytime, anywhere so the whole family can enjoy the same meals together. The online introduction of LAs SIim Sipping Cookbook offers new, creative ways to enjoy some of your favorite beverages and discover new ones. Not only do these recipes taste great, but theyll leave you feeling satisfied helping you lose weight and reach your weight-loss goals faster.

A study done earlier this year at the Boston Children's hospital showed evidence that a diet that is low in carbohydrates may contribute to sustained weight loss. The Atkins Carb Counter can help dieters to reach this goal of long term weight loss.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) October 15, 2012

This is because those put on a low carbohydrate diet have higher metabolic rates even while resting. In effect, those on this type of diet burn more calories, even when they are not exercising heavily or actively trying to lose weight. Total energy expenditure was higher for those patients on a very low carb diet overall, which means that they were burning more calories, as opposed to most low-fat, low-calorie diets which eventually lead the body to burn fewer calories. The Atkins Carb Counter helps those wishing to obtain these benefits by allowing them to judge how many net carbs they are consuming on a daily basis.

The Atkins Carb Counter includes the nutritional information on thousands of different food products, including drinks, baked goods and even fast foods. By looking up the foods that they are eating, individuals can keep track of their Net Carb consumption, which is the amount of carbohydrates in a food item, minus the fiber.

The Atkins Diet, named after its creator, Robert Atkins, has been a popular diet since Dr. Atkins first published his books on the Atkins Nutritional Approach starting in 1972. At the height of its popularity in 2003-2004 it was estimated that one in every eleven American adults was on the diet. While these numbers have decreased since then, the diet has continued to remain a popular way for dieters to lose and maintain weight.

While there are numerous principles to the nutritional approach, eating a diet that is low in carbohydrates is a defining characteristic. The study by Dr. Atkins concluded that once the body has received enough carbohydrates to remain functional, any additional carbohydrates will raise blood glucose levels and result in weight gain. However, if fewer calories than the body needed were provided, the body would have to burn fat in order to make up for the low blood sugar levels.

The Atkins Carb Counter allows individuals on the diet to stay within their target carbohydrate deficit level so that they can lose weight. Eventually, dieters will be able to increase their carbohydrate intake until they find their unique tipping point where they can consume just enough carbohydrates to maintain their ideal weight and not gain weight. A full Atkins Carb Counter review provides more information.
