A growing trend among people wanting to lose weight is to log on and use the online programmes now available. The fastest growing site on the internet also happens to be a Kent based company, Hypnosolution, which has introduced a method called the 8 Steps to Permanent Weight Loss. No more waiting to be weighed each week in cold town halls, no more having to pay 3 figure sums for sachets of diet foods, and no more having to keep count of all the calories you are scoffing each day.

The 8 Steps went live online a month ago and its Facebook page already has 1856 members, and growing each day. Members come from the UK, USA, Australia and Newzealand. In fact, from virtally every country where english is widely spoken.

The main reason for this surge is that people don't have the time to attend weekly meetings, waiting in queues to be seen. Many also want to address their weight issues in privacy, and only want to go public when their weight targets are met. Also, people are more educated now and realise that diets are temporary and don't provide a permanent solution. The 8 Steps addresses all these issues and more. It helps to eliminate addictions, remove emotional eating, teach you self-hypnosis and encourages you to adopt a lifestyle which ensures that you don't put the weight back on again.

The Facebook page also provides free weight loss tips each day and clients can also give each other support, when needed.

Interested in finding out a little more, without any commitment. You can now try it out for free for 7 days to see if it really is as good as all the reviews suggest, at http://www.8steps.co.uk

NEWNAN, Ga. -

A Newnan chiropractor is working to get his patients to lose weight and live healthy lives. Dr. Jason Bailey is putting his money where his mouth is by challenging his staff, patients and the surrounding community with a "prehistoric" diet.

Bailey says he sees how a little extra weight can affect his patients.

"Our body can only handle so much stress. And as that stress increases, the body will wear out much faster. That explains more joint pain, more back pain, more knee pain, pain in osteo-arthritis of the hips. These weight bearing joints are under tremendous amounts of load," said Dr. Bailey.

He knows from personal experience what that extra weight can do.

"I finally looked in the mirror and was sick of what I saw. And I was like, I'm going to make a change," said Bailey.

He says that change came in the form of a unique diet called the Paleo Diet. It's also called the Caveman Diet. It's a nutritional plan that centers around the idea that we should eat what cavemen ate -- more fresh foods and less processed foods.

"We're simplifying our dietary choices. We're eliminating certain things. The big ones are sugar, gluten from the grains, dairy. I know a lot of people have a hard time giving up milk and cheese. But we're going to substitute for healthier things," explained Bailey.

He's lost 25 pounds, but that wasn't enough for him. Dr. Bailey wanted his staff and patients to make the same lifestyle choice, so he issued a 30-day Paleo Diet challenge.

"I've done cleanses, Atkins Diet, you know, low fat," said staff member Lauren Bennett.

Anchorage, AL (PRWEB) August 21, 2012

hCGTreatments / Diet Doc Weight Loss announces better and healthier weight loss using the prescription, doctor-supervised, hCG diet than with safflower products.

Montel Williams recently appeared on the Dr. Oz television show claiming that safflower supplements enabled him to lose 2 inches around his waist that he was unable to remove with exercise and diet alone. Yet, in the same episode he later revealed that when he discontinued use of safflower supplements, those inches returned quickly.

hCGTreatments / Diet Doc Weight Loss, CEO Julie Wright cautions those looking to lose weight need to be careful not to get caught up in fad diets. When youre looking to lose a lot of weight and keep it off, it is important to choose a product that will not place you into the common yo-yo cycle of temporary weight loss and eventual weight gain. Most often, weight regained is in larger amounts with fad diets. With the hCG diet, weight is lost and does not return. The hCG diet and Diet Docs custom diet plan is a healthy and permanent weight loss solution that offers more effective weight loss and a relief from yo-yo type fad diets with clever celebrity endorsements.

Safflower is a thistle-like flower that is cultivated for use in cooking oil and food flavoring, often used as a cheaper replacement for saffron. The beneficial substance found in safflower products is called linoleic acid, which in essence tricks the body into releasing some of its fat stores, particularly around the midsection. The Ohio State University published a report on the use of safflower oil to treat obesity in women, finding that it did decrease overall body fat in 16 week trials. Researchers at Ohio State noted however that safflower oil supplementation showed no effect on total body fat readings, but reduced the weight of trunk fat tissue by between 2.6 pounds and 4.2 pounds in 16 weeks, which seems like an insignificant loss of weight.

hCGTreatments / Diet Doc offers prescription hCG in three easy to use forms: injections, sublingual drops, and tablets, all of which routinely produce weight loss results that are a staggering 33 times greater than safflower supplements. A combination of hCG and a Diet Doc-tailored low-calorie diet for a short period of time (at least three to six weeks) has been proven to be the most effective weight loss process. It is not uncommon for patients to lose 1 pound or more per day on the hCG diet. The hCG diet and Diet Doc designed a physician managed weight loss plan which utilizes the best kept secret in weight loss, hCG. Pharmaceutical grade hCG has little to no side effects and is easily administered.

hCG acts on the hypothalamus gland which in turn signals the body to release stored fat into the bloodstream where it is burned by the bodys cells. When coupled with a 700-900 calorie diet, specifically designed with the patients health factors in mind, hCG will help patients shed over a pound per day of the most stubborn body fat. hCG triggers the release of abnormal fat without affecting structural fat and muscle tissue, so patients dont lose much needed muscle mass. What patients do lose is fat in those trouble areas--hips, thighs, buttocks and upper arms.

SEATTLE, Aug. 19 (UPI) -- A history of yo-yo dieting does not negatively affect metabolism or the ability to lose weight in the long term, U.S. researchers say.

Senior author Dr. Anne McTiernan of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, said the affect of yo-yo dieting -- the repetitive loss and regain of body weight, also called weight cycling -- on the metabolism or a person's ability to lose weight in the long run has been unclear.

The researchers analyzed data from 439 overweight-to-obese, sedentary Seattle-area women, ages 50-75, who were randomly assigned to one of four groups: reduced-calorie diet only, exercise only, reduced-calorie diet plus exercise and a control group that received no intervention.

At the end of the yearlong study, those on the diet-only and diet-plus-exercise arms lost an average of 10 percent of their starting weight -- the goal of the intervention.

The study, published in the journal Metabolism, found although severe weight cyclers were, on average, nearly 20 pounds heavier than non-cyclers at the start of the study, at the end the researchers found no significant differences between those who yo-yo dieted and those who didn't with regard to the ability to successfully participate in diet and/or exercise programs.

Yo-yo dieting doesn't hurt metabolism

Andrea Janus, CTVNews.ca Published Sunday, Aug. 19, 2012 7:30AM EDT

Dieters who have trouble sticking with a weight-loss plan take heart: a new study suggests that so-called yo-yo dieting appears to have little effect on the ability to lose weight over the long term.

Experts believe that repeated cycles of weight loss and gain, which is also known as weight cycling, affects anywhere between 10 and 40 per cent of the population in Western countries.

But it has long been up for debate whether that pattern has a negative impact on metabolism and the long-term ability to shed pounds.

The new study was conducted by researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. They culled data from 439 women who were classified as overweight or obese, sedentary, and between the ages of 50 and 75.

Of the participants, 18 per cent met the criteria for severe weight cycling (they reported losing 20 or more pounds on three or more occasions) while 24 per cent met the criteria for moderate weight cycling (losing 10 or more pounds on three or more occasions).

All participants had been randomly assigned to one of four groups for a year-long weight-loss program designed to help them shed 10 per cent of their starting weight: reduced-calorie diet only, exercise only, reduced-calorie diet plus exercise, and a control group that included neither diet nor exercise.

After the year, the subjects in the diet-only and diet and exercise groups met the weight-loss goal. And when the researchers compared the weight cyclers to the non-cyclers, they found no difference between the two groups in terms of weight loss, body-fat percentage and lean muscle mass gained or lost.

They also found that the cyclers and non-cyclers were equally successful at sticking with the year-long program. And health markers such as blood pressure and insulin sensitivity were not significantly different between the two groups.

The study is published in the journal Metabolism.

Diet news is never just plain good. Good would be something like "Eating chocolate causes you to lose weight and gain lean muscle mass, study finds."

The latest, out of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, is not like that.

Yo-yo dieting, researchers have found, actually doesn't change your metabolism and make it harder to lose weight in future efforts, as widely believed. So just because you've lost and gained, lost and gained, lost and gained, you now have no excuses. Do it again. And likely, again.

Dr. Anne McTiernan, of The Hutch's public health-sciences division, the senior author of the study published online by the journal Metabolism, sees the results as a half-full kind of thing.

"A history of unsuccessful weight loss should not dissuade an individual from future attempts to shed pounds or diminish the role of a healthy diet and regular physical activity in successful weight management," McTiernan said.

The study was designed for a slow, steady and reasonable amount of weight loss -- 10 percent of body weight within six months and maintenance for the next six -- with daily calories of 1,200 to 2,000, calculated by each woman's beginning body weight.

Earlier studies have suggested that repetitive weight loss-regain cycles may increase a dieter's preference for dietary fat, perhaps because of changes in metabolic rate, immune function and body composition, the authors noted. But few studies have actually examined this notion, which suggests that somehow dieting causes a person's body to become more efficient at holding onto fat, they said.

For the study, McTiernan and her colleagues enrolled 439 overweight to obese, sedentary Seattle-area postmenopausal women, ages 50 to 75.

Obesity, the researchers said, is a known risk factor for many cancers, as well as for heart disease and diabetes, and with two-thirds of the U.S. population overweight or obese, it's a worry for those in public health.

And for the nearly half of American women estimated to be currently dieting, any help understanding what's going on with their recalcitrant fat may be very welcome.

The study, conducted by researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, is published online in the journal Metabolism.

Anne McTiernan, M.D., Ph.D., a member of the Hutchinson Center's Public Health Sciences Division, explained: "A history of unsuccessful weight loss should not dissuade an individual from future attempts to shed pounds or diminish the role of a healthy diet and regular physical activity in successful weight management."

At present, around two-thirds of people in the United States are overweight or obese, and around 50% of women in the country are currently trying to lose weight. Obesity is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease and diabetes and also for many types of cancer. It is believed that the association between body fat and the production of certain hormones and inflammatory markers contribute to the increase risk of developing cancer.

McTiernan said:

For the study the team examined data from 439 women in the Seattle area, who were either overweight or obese and led sedentary lifestyles. The participants, aged 50-75, were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 groups:

The researchers set out to determine if women with a moderate or severe weight cycling found it hard to lose weight than women who had never yo-yo dieted.

According to the researchers:

At the end of the study, the team found no significant differences between severe weight cyclers and those who didn't with regard to the ability to successfully take part in diet and/or exercise programs.

OK, so you cant lose weight just by sleeping if you eat doughnuts five times a day and never leave your couch. But, it turns out, there may be a correlation between your appetite and how much and how well you sleep.

Its a captivating idea, and it could have repercussions for increasingly sedentary, stress-filled lifestyles. People who sleep less may tend to eat more.

A recent study funded by the National Institutes of Health, Minnesota Obesity Center and the Mayo Clinic found that people who were sleep deprived ate more than 500 additional calories per day.

Previous studies have also found that a lack of sleep is linked with weight gain and obesity, but more are needed to confirm the results. The idea is that less sleep and sleep disruption can affect peoples hormones specifically their leptin and ghrelin levels both stimulating their appetite and making them not as satisfied after they eat.

Dr. Michael Breus, a nationally recognized sleep expert, traveled around Maine early this summer and talked about the difference more sleep can have on a successful versus a failed diet.

Sleep experts suggest turning cellphones and computers off an hour before going to bed, keeping naps short during the day, maintaining a comfortable temperature in the bedroom, sticking to a similar routine during the week and on weekends and exercising regularly (but not right before bed) as ways to improve your sleep.

Whether it helps you lose weight or not, its good to aim for a restful sleep. Just do your best to not dream about cake.
