HCG diet’s effectiveness debated in obesity battle

Katie Wilkinson, who started the diet after seeing a friend’s success, now tastes her cooking and spits it out.

Week after week, body-conscious Middle Tennesseans pack weight-loss clinic waiting rooms, listening for their names to be called.

They step on a scale, learn their weight and body mass index, and then collect a supply of pregnancy hormone that they’ll inject into their own fat deposits for the next month or so.

Word-of-mouth has been the HCG diet’s biggest advertising tool, with men and women booking appointments at a half-dozen clinics in Franklin, Nashville, Murfreesboro and Clarksville offering the hormone — and the 500-calorie-a-day food plan that goes with it. Read more

               

Are Socioeconomics Behind Racial Disparities in Weight?

The rate of obesity and chronic diseases varies substantially across different racial and ethnic groups, but the underlying causes of those disparities remain obscure. In a new study, low socioeconomic status (SES) appears to account for more of that disparity than does lack of knowledge of healthy eating habits and diet-related health risks.The study appears in the December issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association.

Does The hCG Diet Work?

The controversial new diet using human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in combination with a highly caloric restrictive diet may help patients lose a large amount of weight in a short period of time.
 
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 33.8% of Americans are obese. In the past 2 decades, the dramatic increase in obesity has led to not one state in America having less than a 20% prevalence for obesity in 2010. Along with skyrocketing rates of obesity are the increase of weight-related diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and strokes. In fact, according to WebMD.com, obese individuals are 40% more likely to succumb to premature death than a person of normal weight. With such startling numbers, it’s no surprise that many people are searching for diets that are quick and effective - one of which is the new controversial hCG Diet.

Recently discussed on The Dr. Oz Show, the hCG Diet has been termed the Weight Loss Miracle by many, with promises of weight loss of 40 pounds in 40 days. FDA approved for fertility, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone naturally secreted in pregnant women. While not approved for weight loss, many physicians across the nation have prescribed the hCG diet for patients seeking to lose a large amount of weight. Physicians and patients alike are divided on the efficacy and safety of the diet, thus causing the controversy surrounding the hCG Diet. Read more

               

More chewing, fewer calories

Study notes differences between obese, normal people at breakfast.

People who chew their food more take in fewer calories, mainly because more chewing is related to the levels of hormones that regulate appetite, according to a Chinese study.

Chewing food 40 times instead of a typical 15 times caused the study participants to eat nearly 12 percent fewer calories, the study — published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition — said.

“Compared with lean participants, obese participants had a higher ingestion rate and a lower number of chews per one gram of food,” wrote lead researcher Jie Li and colleagues from Harbin Medical University in China. Read more

               

Artificial Sweeteners, Diet and Weight Loss

by Dr. James Long

Aspartame – (NutraSweet, Equal, AminoSweet) – It is a Non-saccharide (non-sugar), dipeptide (linkage of two amino acids, aspartic acid and phenylalanine).  It has intense sweetness and provides calories similar to a protein, but with the amounts used to sweeten foods, the caloric value is negligible.

Limits of use:  at high temperatures or high pH, aspartame breaks down.  It is therefore better in more acidic foods and not good for baking.  The half-life of aspartame (amount of time for ½ of the product to breakdown) is 300 days at an acid pH, but only a few days at a neutral pH.  This is why it has been used successfully in the acid environment of sodas.

Bariatrics Decline as hCG for Weight Loss Explodes

The IAPAM predicts strong growth in hCG for weight loss, supported by recent 1Q results published by Allergan, the makers of Botox.  Physicians who incorporate hCG and other medically supervised weight management programs into their practices, will reap significant fiscal reward in 2011.  The IAPAM’s goal is to provide industry-leading education for physicians by offering the field’s most comprehensive Physician hCG Training.
 
“Adult obesity is continuing its relentless rise, according to a new analysis of government statistics….with two thirds of Americans are now either overweight (defined as a body-mass index (BMI) of 25 or higher) or obese (A 30-plus BMI),” reports Maia Szalavitz for MSN Health & Fitness.  To address this “growing” market, more and more physicians are adding medical weight management services to their practices, and by far, the most popular option among consumers (since being showcased on the Dr. Oz Show in February 2011) is medically supervised diet programs, specifically hCG for weight loss.
 
Allergan’s Chairman and CEO David Pyott noted that, “Regarding the obesity intervention line, Q1 sales decreased 14.9% in dollars and 16.0% in local currencies. Overall, bariatric procedures in the U.S. market per our market research declined 12% in the first quarter year-over-year.  In the U.S., we continue to suffer from lack of access for patients to LAP-BAND even if coverage in principle is available to members of commercial insurance plans. High co-pays and necessity to demonstrate failure and medically supervised diet and exercise programs are real barriers,” laments Pyott.
