DENVER Kick-start a healthy diet, cleanse your system, and lose weight. Those are the claims that have a lot of people turning to juice fasts.

They involve drinking nothing but vegetable juice for anywhere from three to 90 days.

Youre taking an enormous amount of fruits and vegetables, pounds of them, and taking the fiber out, explains Dr. Connie Sanchez, a naturopath who often recommends juice fasts to her patients. It goes to all the tissues, all the cells, you absorb it very, very quickly and its really about giving nutrition, superior nutrition, to all the cells.

That nutrition boost sounded exactly like what Westminster mom Stacy Golden needed.

I would have this low energy, she said. And I just thought, Im really too young to be having these issues.

So with help from her doctor, Golden embarked on a juice fast. She created her own cocktails, juicing vegetables like chard, spinach, and kale with pineapples and apples. For 21 days she drank nothing but that juice.

The results:

My hair stopped falling out. Ive resolved the digestion issues that Ive had for many, many years, and the energy is justIm up a couple of hours every night after the kids go to bed just doing stuff, Golden told us.

The outcomes are enticing, but Dr. Jeffry Gerber, a family physician who focuses on healthy weight loss, said juicing does have some risks.

It was only a little over a week ago when Jessica Simpson finally gave birth to baby girl Maxwell after being overdue for nearly two weeks. Now that the bun is out of the oven will Jessica be able to shed the pounds and get back into her daisy dukes? The star has reportedly admitted she's a little nervous about losing the weight.

"She is freaking out already about the pressure to lose the weight," a source close to Jess said.

If Jessica is like any of the other celeb super moms she shouldn't have any problems. The blonde bombshell also signed a $3 million deal with Jenny Craig, something that should majorly give her the boost she needs to be back down to her regular size. Maybe some other Hollywood moms could give her some advice.

Mariah Carey gave birth to her gorgeous twins just barely over a year ago and with the help of Jenny Craig Mariah was flaunting her curvy body in a few short months of getting on a diet and exercise plan. Mariah hasn't looked this good since her "Daydream" years and has been so proud of her new body she's been showing it off nonstop. We think Mimi might be just the person for Jessica to get advice from.

Jessica Alba has some of the cutest kids in Hollywood but after giving birth to her second baby the star admits she wasn't a slave to the gym in trying to lose the weight. "I just made healthier choices. I started working out and not going too crazy, but I did what was safe and what the doctor approved," she said. We're totally digging her post baby body. Maybe she can work with Jessica on her new diet plan!

Some celebs, like Miss Alba, take the time to lose their baby weight and she isn't the only celeb. Jennifer Lopez took a full year off before working to take off the weight. When she finally wanted to get in shape the singer started training for a triathlon. Will JLo's post baby body inspire Jessica?

Do you think Hollywood pressures female celebs to drop the baby weight too quickly after giving birth?

HCG has been grabbing the attention of dieters around the world with promises of dropping pounds quickly. But with the promises also come a lot of questions about whether its effective and safe.

HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin and is produced by pregnant women. Its supposed to release fat from your body so you can use it as fuel, meaning you need fewer calories and lose less muscle mass.

Huntsville resident Kylie Smith is a big fan of HCG. She had tried a number of other products, many making her shaky and uncomfortable. She thought shed give HCG a try after her friend had luck on the diet. Kylie got her HCG through a diet practitioner. She took drops three times a day and was only allowed a 500 calorie diet from a very specific menu. But she says she was never hungry. I felt great! I felt it was more like a cleanse. Kylie adds, I woke up in the morning before my alarm; I wasnt tired. Kylie lost 40 pounds in a year.

But not everyone is sold on the benefits of HCG. Todd Foreman is a Bariatric Surgeon in the Huntsville area. He says, As a surgeon who doesnt prescribe it, I dont believe theres any evidence that it works well. Foreman goes on to say, I think that most of the HCG thats on the market is not really the hormone that is known as HCG. Foreman says its a homeopathic mix of herbs and other supplements, which is sold as HCG.

The FDA agrees. HCG is FDA approved to treat infertility, but not as a weight loss supplement. Just last December, the FDA and the Federal Trade Commission issued seven letters to companies marketing over-the-counter HCG products labeled as homeopathic for weight loss. The letters warn the companies theyre violating federal law by selling drugs that have not been approved and are making unsupported claims.

Dr. Zach LaBoube has a franchise that uses HCG to help patients lose weight and says theres a big difference between the prescription and homeopathic HCG.

LaBoube explains, The prescription HCG is compounded at pharmacies across the country. Its a bioidentical hormone which means its an exact replica of the real HCG thats produced by a pregnant woman.

LaBoube says the homeopathic version is much weaker. He says its a combination of small concentrations of the HCG hormone and then, generally, a combination of B vitamins and other things that spark the metabolism a bit.He says, Theyre two completely different products.

You can go to your local Walmart and find homeopathic HCG on the shelves. You can also find it all over the internet, but you dont always know whats in it.

A worker inspects unroasted coffee beans, which may assist with weight loss.

People looking to slim down might find solace in a natural product: Green, unroasted coffee beans.

Scientists announced on Tuesday in San Diego that they have found evidence unroasted coffee beans can produce a substantial decrease in body weight in a relatively short period of time.

Meaning: The green beans could quickly help people lose more weight.

The American Chemical Society performed a study involving 16 overweight or obese people between 22 and 26 years old in a little less than six months. It was a study in which people cycled through the two doses and the placebo, each for six weeks. There was a low-extract bean dose of 700mg and a higher dose of 1,050mg.

Participants were monitored for their overall diet and exercise during the study. Ultimately, they averaged a loss of 17 pounds, including an average of a 16 percent decrease in body fat and 10 percent of their overall body weight.

Based on our results, taking multiple capsules of green coffee extract a day while eating a low-fat, healthful diet and exercising regularly appears to be a safe, effective, inexpensive way to lose weight, Dr. Joe Vinson of ACS said.

He noted that weight loss might have been significantly faster, except that participants received the placebo and the lower dose of green coffee extract for part of the study period.

Vinson believes the chlorogenic acids in the bean are responsible for the weight loss. Its properties exist in the unroasted coffee beans.

Weight-loss surgery may be best cure for diabetes March 26th, 2012, 12:13 pm posted by Courtney Perkes

Two studies published Monday in the New England Journal of Medicine have found that bariatric weight-loss surgery can reverse diabetes in obese patients far more effectively than medication and lifestyle coaching alone.

In summary, the studies showed some dramatic results, including patients who could stop taking insulin only days after surgery, even before losing large amounts of weight.

Dr. Peter LePort, bariatric surgeon at Orange Coast Memorial Medical Center in Fountain Valley, estimated that 25 to 35 percent of his patients have type 2 diabetes.

A significant portion of my patients come in not only because theyre heavy but they say, I have to get rid of my hypertension, my diabetes, my back pain and thats motivating them more than the weight loss, LePort said. The significant thing here is gastric bypass seems to get rid of diabetes very quickly even before they lose all the weight.

LePort said he would like to see research on if gastric surgery can cure diabetes in patients who are not morbidly obese.

In one study, patients at the Cleveland Clinic who underwent stomach-shrinking surgeries were compared with those who took medication and received intensive lifestyle and weight loss coaching. After a year, the surgery patients had lost more weight and many were able to control their blood sugar without medication.

The authors wrote, We conclude that bariatric surgery represents a potentially useful strategy for management of uncontrolled diabetes, since it has been shown to eliminate the need for diabetes medications in some patients and to markedly reduce the need for drug treatment in others.

In the other study at Catholic University in Rome, patients who underwent surgery were also compared to those who didnt. For those who had surgery, the remission rate from diabetes was up to 95 percent. As in the other study, the surgery patients also lost more weight.

Heading to a sauna before a race is a common ritual for many jockeys - not to relax, but to lose those few extra pounds before racing.

Racing legends including Frankie Dettori have spoken in interviews of their battles to stay under their "natural weight".

Tony McCoy, who stands at 5ft 10in tall, has been known in the past to slim down for some rides to 10 stone, a stone-and-a-half below his natural weight, with a punishing diet of saunas and snatched snacks.

A recent academic study found 82% of the 99 jockeys surveyed took "extreme measures" when dieting, ranging from exercising with "sweat suits" to fasting, skipping meals or vomiting before a race.

The Berkshire-based Professional Jockeys Association is now employing three extra members of staff to help stop jockeys using dangerous methods to lose weight.

Anna-Louise MacKinnon, medical advisor at the association, based in Newbury, said they had recruited three new members to their nutrition team to bring new ideas and approaches to diet.

She said there was no "hard evidence" that rapid weight loss methods were dangerous, but said anecdotally she had been told by jockeys that head injuries and concussions were harder to recover from when the rider was dehydrated.

She said there were also concerns about dehydration weight-loss methods leading to a lack of concentration which might lead to more accidents while riding.

Susan Lennie, a lecturer in nutrition at Robert Gordon University, warned that jockeys could damage their health by losing too much too quickly.

TAMPA, Fla., March 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --BalanceDiet Company announces the acquisition of Results Weight Loss, a regional chain of weight-management centers with locations throughout southwest Florida. The acquisition includes the assets and clients of Results Weight Loss as well as the affiliated 1-800-Weight-Loss brand, immediately adding 16 new locations, thousands of customers and exclusive genetic testing to the BalanceDiet portfolio and solidifying the company's dominant presence in the Florida weight-loss marketplace.

The previous owners of Results Weight Loss, facing foreclosure, had handed the business over to creditors in December 2011. Less than a day before the chain of diet centers was scheduled to cease operations, BalanceDiet's Board acted quickly to assume ownership of the company.

"We rescued the company from closure within a 12-hour window, and had only a half-day to make a final decision on the acquisition. However, we determined that this move offered significant advantages for the continuing expansion of our BalanceDiet brand," said Christopher Palumbo, Brand Founder. "We believe in wellness, we believe in the industry, and we believe in the West Florida markets. It was apparent that a fresh approach, new products, and updated services could really take this company and bring much-needed momentum to the business."

BalanceDiet plans to rebrand, expand, and renovate the former Results Weight Loss locations and incorporate additional services, which will be rolled out with the grand reopening of the centers. Through its timely acquisition of Results Weight Loss, BalanceDiet preserved the jobs of 100 employees and is supporting another 300 jobs for vendors and service providers. The acquisition also ensured that the company's several thousand customers would not lose the money they had paid for its services, as BalanceDiet is honoring clients' plans and lowering the prices.

"It is very rewarding and exciting to be involved in a comeback story like this," remarked Palumbo. "When you have a great team backing you, you are more confident in taking risks. Our strategic acquisition has enabled us to add exclusive genetic testing to a variety of new services that complement BalanceDiet's existing product and service offerings, ultimately delivering an enhanced wellness experience to our customers."

BalanceDiet is a premium diet and wellness brand that operates a chain of stylish, upscale weight-loss centers as well as the BalanceDiet At Home service. The company offers custom meal planning, nutrition, and diet coaching; a robust online diet program; expert advice and tips; and related retail products that are offered online, through direct home delivery, and via a wide network of storefront locations. Clients also have access to the e'co by elements line of nutritional and cosmeceutical supplements, including Slimberry plant-based weight-loss blends, BonPULSE complete cardio health, and VitaLIFT anti-aging and antioxidant multivitamins.

BalanceDiet weight-loss centers are also available as a fully turnkey solution for both franchisees and area developers. A Florida-based team handles all aspects of store development, including site selection, advanced lease negotiation, deal structuring, and construction services.

Beyond the Florida expansion associated with the Results Weight Loss acquisition, BalanceDiet is in the process of opening additional signature weight-loss centers throughout the United States and worldwide, with new retail locations scheduled to open in Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, India, and Saudi Arabia. The company is also working on a co-brand with a popular healthy fast-food chain in Tampa Bay.
