subject: Explore Weight Loss Options [print this page] Obesity is a medical problem that has become an epidemic in the United States. Approximately 66% of adults in the US are considered overweight, obese, or morbidly obese and these numbers are on the rise. If you look at old black and white group photographs from 80 or 100 years you immediately notice that no one is overweight. So, the question is, what has changed and how do we address the problem? The two main things that have changed is that one, we are more sedentary and two, the type of calories we eat have increased. More importantly, the ratio of calories we take in from sugar, fat, and carbohydrates have drastically changed.
When you review thousands of patients diets, you begin to notice patterns. The most obvious pattern is that most people who are overweight depend too heavily on sugars and simple carbohydrates for energy. This is something that needs to shift if a person wants to lose weight and then maintain a healthy body weight.
Obesity not only affects a person mentally and emotionally, but most obviously, it takes a physical toll on the body. Obesity has been linked to an increased risk in cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, gall bladder disease, osteoarthritis, infertility, type 2 diabetes, elevated cholesterol and triglycerides, and several other avoidable diseases.
Solutions for successful and permanent weight loss are limited. Most of the diets marketed to people are difficult to sustain as long term habits. Infomercials for exercise equipment/regimes make money for the sellers and collect cobwebs for you. Weight loss for women can be especially challenging. As most trends in this country begin, weight loss and diet trends tend to originate in Los Angeles, Hollywood, and New York. Over the past couple of years, hcg weight loss and bariatric surgeries have been rising in popularity.
There are several problems with bariatric surgery (lap band, gastric bypass). The surgery can be dangerous and death may occur, it can lead to life long nutrient and mineral deficiencies, as well as other complications that greatly affect ones quality of life. The surgery is also VERY expensive and insurance companies are becoming more restricted on whom they will cover.
In contrast, the hCG weight loss protocol is a comparatively easy, rapid, and safe approach to weight loss when compared to all other weight loss programs. The hCG protocol, when done correctly under a trained physician helps the patient lose fat weight at a rate of up to 30 lbs per month. When done correctly people feel great, they have energy, and they are NOT hungry. Side effects occur in very few cases (less than 10%) and are minor such as spotting between periods and mild to moderately heavier bleeding during menses. There are a few other minor safety precautions that need to be monitored, but the vast majority of patients tolerate the program very well as they shed the pounds. Some hcg diet programs offered online restrict calorie intake to unsafe levels and offer no supervision or support. Others utilize ineffective hcg drops.
Diet Doc physicians are highly trained experts in this field. They have collectively seen thousands of successful cases, and will give you the proper advice and support as you transition into the slimmer, healthier person you want to be. Their diet is much more expanded in calories than any other program out there. Diet Doc offers its hcg diet and hcg Weight Loss clinics throughout the country with locations in San Diego, LA, Portland, Seattle, Spokane, Dallas, New York, and Miami.
