Debunking The Notion That Diets Don't Work

noreply@blogger.com (healthrevolution) — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 14:19:00 +0000

It is extremely important to dispell the notions that diets don't work. Sure, if you only use one approach to dieting your odds of failure are high. Just like if you try to build a house with only a hammer- the house is not going to get built.

It is important to view dieting as a progression and process that leads to results over time. If you approach dieting from this perspective you cannot fail. You begin with the "end in mind" with a solid long term goal, and you just keep taking steps towards that goal.

It is sort of like building muscle- you want to work the muscles from as many angles as you can. Maybe you are 100 pounds overweight, you have a strong sense of personal failure, and you are getting more and more discouraged.

The first thing to do is simply stop whatever you are doing. You need to try different things. Think differently. Maybe you need as much hand holding as you can. Maybe NutriSystem will work for you to help you get started on the weight loss process. They will help you get your portion sizes under control and they have new options that help to improve the flexibility of their program as well as improve the taste and the choices you get.

The next step thing you need to do is understand that in order to diet successfully you don't just need to eat less. You need to eat differently. There are foods that you can eat that will help you feel full, and help the weight come off with very little effort.

Get in the habit of eating of eating avocado whenever you can. Don't worry too much about the calories in avocado. There are a whole host of important nutrients that will feed your body and start to fight panic hunger.

Find a flavor of hummus that you like. There are all sorts of things they mix with hummus and there are a manageable amount of calories in hummus. It is one of those foods that just help you feel full.

Working Out At Home

noreply@blogger.com (healthrevolution) — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 12:17:00 +0000

One thing we have noticed is that many people do not like going to the gym for a variety of reasons. Having equipment at home, preferably in the bedroom boosts the odds of working out. More specifically having equipment that you can put under your bed is ideal. Check out this Total Gym review for some ideas on specific products both men and women can use to workout.

One of the models, the Total Gym XLS also includes a pilates kit, which is great because men often like to do strength exercises, while women often prefer toning exercises. Including a set of dumbells and a jump rope, you will have a pretty nice setup.

Staying motivated is the next step and this article on eHow has some practical tips on staying motivated. You also need to know what your goals are. Total Gym is great for strength training, but something like Bowflex is better for people who want to build muscle. You might want to read a Bowflex review to learn more about their well known product line.

When It Comes To Weight Loss, Are Men Different?

noreply@blogger.com (healthrevolution) — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 13:37:00 +0000

I was reading an article criticizing how men are marketed to by the diet industry. My first though upon reading that was "I disagree." Men respond to different things than women, that is just reality. I was watching an ad the other day for NutriSystem For Men, and they were saying on the plan men could eat "Man Food."

That makes sense! Men don't want to eat tofu. And fewer still want to sit in a meeting each week with a bunch of overweight women. Weight Watchers has ads featuring men barbequing. Is that objectionable. Or do men tend to bbq. Might it make sense to develop a diet that catered to that?

The Trend Of Medical Tourism

noreply@blogger.com (healthrevolution) — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 13:25:00 +0000

This is a fascinating article on the rise of medical tourism. Basically the large insurers and employers in the US have decided that having expensive procedures done overseas can be an extremely cost saving measure. This is a complex and controversial subject, but it does create a global marketplace for medical services. Specialists in the US might feel threatened, and care might be compromised. But the reality is that outcome rates in the US are so low anyway, that argument often rings hollow. Competition is always a good thing in the long run. It can be a messy process but in the end customers are better served. Prices go down and quality goes up.

The Changing Diet Landscape

noreply@blogger.com (healthrevolution) — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 16:53:00 +0000

In the last post we introduced the idea of Weight Watchers as a health care company. The introduction of their new Momentum Program brings with it a focus on both fiber and water content of food. Which means more plants in the diet.

This particular focus of increasing higher levels of plant based foods in the diet has been at the core of the work that people like T. Colin Campbell and Joel Fuhrman have been doing for years. In fact, there is a lot more these guys are saying about both animal protein and dairy that is still out of the mainstream and roundly attacked.

But the landscape appears to be changing, and now you have Weight Watchers moving towards the recommendations put forth by Campbell and Fuhrman. What is interesting about their work is that they assert that high levels of animal protein are highly correlated with all sorts of disease, not just weight loss.

Their basic thesis is that when you increase plants in the diets, you decrease your health risk. The fact that Weight Watchers is embracing elements of this thesis bolsters my assertion that they are now a health care company.

Is Weight Watchers A Health Care Company?

noreply@blogger.com (healthrevolution) — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 09:05:00 +0000

In this blog we view things from a health care standpoint, and an interesting issue has come up. Is Weight Watchers now a health care company? They seem to have changed their point system, refocused on healthier foods. The health implications of successful long term weight loss are wide ranging. It will be interesting to follow how people do on the new version of the plan. People for years have said that WW was the only thing that worked for them, and any increase in their overall success rate could have an impact on the overall health profile of the US. Especially with their new focus on plant based foods.

How Long Does It Take To Lose Weight- Is this the right question to be asking?

noreply@blogger.com (healthrevolution) — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 14:21:00 +0000

Many of us want to know how long it takes to lose weight. But is this the right question to be asking?

Differential Diagnosis- Powered By A Network Effect Of Doctors

noreply@blogger.com (healthrevolution) — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 14:40:00 +0000

Differential Diagnosis has become popular as a term and methodology in recent years. It simply refers to systematic method of medical diagnosis, often aided by specially organized medical information. It is very important however, because the rates of misdiagnosis or over-diagnosis run are very high- roughly 25% according to several estimates. The correct diagnosis is the absolute essential first step to get successfully healed, treated or cured. The best doctors or medical processes simply get things right out of the gate.

Given the importance of diagnosis, it is so important to get this step right. The question is, how do you best to this? Some doctors use tools to aid them, and many work alone. One would think that the best approaches would be a team approach, consisting of the best doctors or specialists in a particular area. This is exactly how Flagship Global Health works. They provide guidance, routing and access to the world's leading specialists. But that is the second step of their process. The first step is when you call with a serious medical situation- they begin the process that leads to 99% patient satisfaction. They assess your situation, and consult internally on each case. After internal consultation, they then begin reaching out to their specialist network. A team of doctors work together on your case and figure out what direction to point you in. In most cases they get it right, in a medical system that often gets it wrong. It is a highly effective method of differential diagnosis, and is really the ideal model for medical care.

The end result of Flagship's process is that the patient gets a very high probability of correct diagnosis. Instead of 25% chance of error, there is a 99% success rate. The patient also gets access to the best medical care, which also comes with high rates of success. The net result is a highly effective health care system and product.

Priority Access To Leading Doctors

noreply@blogger.com (healthrevolution) — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 15:23:00 +0000

If you know much about the current state of medical care in the US, you know you can get better care here than anywhere else in the world. You just need to know how to find it. Avoiding bad doctors or the wrong doctors is critical. You also need to be able to find the very best doctors you can, especially when it is crunch time. Hospitals and health insurance companies market to you every day in the hopes of convincing you that a particular institution is going to be the answer to your particular problem. That may be the case, but the reality is that an individual doctor is going to be the person who can make or break your case.

Finding the best doctors and getting access to them becomes critical. The problem is that the best doctors have the most demand for their services. Makes sense right? Additionally, the best doctors and leading specialists often make (much) more money than other doctors. So they don't need to be in health insurance networks. In fact, if you are a leading doctor in a well populated area, it would be illogical to be part of a health insurance network. You be paid much less.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy

noreply@blogger.com (healthrevolution) — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 21:45:00 +0000

This is the latest buzzword in the world of weight loss, and builds upon existing therapeutic techniques that are helping people lose weight. Traditional therapy approaches that have worked well are generally group and peer-based, like Weight Watchers for example.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy exists in contrast to traditional psychoanalyis is considered among the most rapid in terms of results obtained. The average number of sessions clients receive (across all
types of problems and approaches to CBT) is only 16.

Beck Diet Solution is an example of the approach where the focus is more on the thoughts underlying behavior.

How To Lose Weight

noreply@blogger.com (healthrevolution) — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 21:09:00 +0000

This is a helpful new guide to weight loss that focuses on both the nutritional and mental aspects of weight loss. The idea that portion control is the wrong thing for people to be focusing on is starting to take hold. A person will get much more return for expending effort on eating better and learning how to eat will than they will from eating smaller portions of junk!

Another great tool for weight loss is counting calories. Get in the habit of looking up calories in different foods and find foods high in fiber and low in saturated fat. It also never hurts to join a format diet and support program and the new Weight Watchers Momentum Program is a great place to start.

Weight Watchers has updated their program to adopt more of a nutrient density approach advocated by people like Joel Fuhrman and McDougall.

The Weight Watchers "POINTS" System

noreply@blogger.com (healthrevolution) — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 14:43:00 +0000

Despite needing a major overhaul to reflect the latest scientific research, Weight Watchers remains the most popular and most effective diet. This is a link to a summary on how the program works. The bottom line on Weight Watchers is that it is a great starting point for anyone who needs to lose weight. They will teach you portion control, and demonstrate the power of group support as well as peer pressure.

The glaring weakness of their approach is that they sell foods that are very poor in nutrients. They focus on food restriction, and simple fat reduction. A food can be low in fat but still contain little to no nutritional value. Which is why Weight Watchers is a lifetime kind of thing. You can only restrict your food for so long. It is only through a diet high in nutrients that you can achieve a healthy weight without dieting. We will be blogging about that more in the future!

Using Hypnosis To Lose Weight

noreply@blogger.com (healthrevolution) — Sat, 03 Feb 2007 16:33:00 +0000

If you are at all interested in how hypnosis can help you lose weight, you should read this series of articles written by Roberta Temes. She happens to be the author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Hypnosis and is also the author of the foremost medical school textbook on hypnosis. The bottom line is that learning hypnosis techniques can be a very valuable tool aide weight loss. The key point here is that Roberta's approach deals with the mental aspect of eating, and essentially helps to reprogram the mind to make better decisions.

Using a Food Log and Group Support to Fight Stress Eating and Emotional Eating

noreply@blogger.com (healthrevolution) — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 13:36:00 +0000

"When I joined PEERtrainer in early June, I was intrigued by the concept, as I’d never heard of anything like it before. I liked the idea of logging in my food and my workouts as it made me accountable not only to myself, but also to my group because I knew everyone in my groups would see what I ate. While I know the saying “garbage in – garbage out” I didn’t want everyone to actually SEE all the garbage that I’d been eating – never mind that people could see it in my weight. I’ve never participated in programs such as Weight Watchers because I didn’t have the time for weekly meetings and weigh-ins. I like the fact that I can log into PEERtrainer at my convenience and find my community there for me no matter when I log in.

My goal is to lose 50 pounds and in two months with PEERtrainer I’ve lost 30 pounds!! I’m amazed at how quickly I lost the weight. I must admit that I’ve had some stress that has negatively impacted my appetite, but I tend to deal with stress in two ways – eating too much comfort food and not eating enough healthy food. This time, because I was on PEERtrainer and I knew my group mates would be monitoring my food intake – I was motivated to watch what I was eating and I tried to make a conscientious effort to have the majority of the food I eat be good fuel food for my body – rather than just junk food. When I first joined the site there was a time a friend and I went to the store to get some treats and I had the tasty treat in my hand and was walking toward the cashier to pay for it and then I realized that I’d have to admit to this indiscretion in my food log and I so didn’t want to do that – so I PUT IT BACK!!! Still hard to believe to this day. I view my daily log as striving to get a good grade – there are days when I may get an A because of a great workout and eating wisely, but there are days when I may only get a B because I just wasn’t as strong, but that’s OK. I still strive to get that A and on the days when I may only get a B – my group members are still very supportive of me.

I’ve joined several different groups and I love being involved in so many. I’ve received wonderful support and encouragement from my group members – about my personal stress issues and my battles with emotional eating and weight loss. I’ve received excellent information and tips that I can use in my daily life. I’ve also received kudos when I was able to fit into my “skinny jeans.” (WHOO-HOO!!!!) The support I’ve received from my group members has been instrumental to my weight loss. I feel as if I not only don’t want to let myself down, but I don’t want to let them down either. I like the fact that I can obtain motivation from some members while I can be inspirational to others – it’s a great mutually beneficial give and take process for everyone. Several of my groups have implemented various challenges – such as eating smarter challenges and workout challenges to modify or increase our workouts. When I started with PEERtrainer I was struggling to maintain my goal of four workouts per week. Because of two group challenges I’ve now been working out five days per week since the beginning of July and for the last several weeks as a personal challenge I’ve even been working out six days per week! This would have been unheard of for me before!"

I find myself eager to post on the site and read the comments and join my PEERtrainer friends. Thank you PEERtrainer and thanks to all of you wonderful members!!!

Weight Loss Success Story From a 23 year Old Guy

noreply@blogger.com (healthrevolution) — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 13:24:00 +0000

"I made the decision to finally lose weight about 1 year ago after I was worried about all the health issues related to being overweight and I wanted to be more physically active. I had tried a variety of different diets before which failed because I would revert back to my old habits. I knew I had to take control of my life.

I started out slowly, trying to eliminate fast food and soda and exercising more. It was tough the first few months with all the stress and work from school, but I made progress. During the summer, I had a lot more time and I was able to devote myself more to my weight loss. In July, I heard about PEERtrainer while watching TV, and I thought I would give it a try because it seemed like a good site.

I've lost 85 lbs total with 51 of those lbs through the help of PEERtrainer. I am only a couple lbs away from my goal weight and I know I will get there soon. I would never have thought I would have made this much progress in a year. I feel 10 times better then I did a year ago.

Using PEERtrainer has really helped because of the added accountability and support I received from other members. I finally realized that I needed to make more lifestyle changes to be more successful at managing my weight. Daily logging really helped me see what/when I was eating and it helped focus on healthier eating choices.

Thank you PEERtrainer and all of its members for helping in my weight loss journey.

For anyone thinking about joining, I would strongly suggest you do. Start right away and be active in your groups, we are all here for the same reason, to lose weight."
