If you do a quick Internet search for HCG diet plans, you’ll find that there are thousands of options out there. The proliferation of diet plans seems to indicate that you can and should eat whatever you want whenever you want as long as it’s on the list. This can be misleading.
The importance and usefulness of a nutritional counselor when using the HCG diet cannot be understated. It is important to make sure that your diet plan has been thoughtfully considered by a knowledgeable professional who will work to ensure that you are getting the best foods for you and your diet.
A nutritional counselor can take the time to ensure that what your eating is healthy and provides the best caloric options during this time of decreased calorie intake. They can also take the time to walk with you emotionally during this time and make sure that you are handling this life change and finally, they can walk you through handling cravings and suggest changes as necessary.
The relationship that you enjoy with a nutritional counselor during your time using the HCG diet can really aid in your success and help you reach your weight loss goals. The availability of nutritional counselor or counseling team is a valuable commodity and one that many patients have appreciated during their time on the diet.
According to a recent study, those who are severely obese and undergo weight loss surgery increase their risk of bone fracture. Those who are able to lose weight with non-surgical medical weight loss diets compared favorably regarding risk of fracture. The researchers that led the large study, which was was recently published by The BMJ, indicated that obesity may not be as protective for fracture as once believed and that fracture risk assessment ought to be a part of weight loss care in the future.
Benefits and risks of surgery should be considered on an individual basis to propose the type of surgical procedure best suited to the patient as the efficacy of weight loss surgeries differs in terms of resolution of chronic conditions.
The study was performed by researchers in Canada. These researchers observed the incidence and sites of fracture in several patients who were determined to be severely overweight before undergoing weight loss surgery. The team then compared their results against obese and non-obese controls to analyze the association between weight loss surgery and fracture risk.
KERA NEWS - An article that was recently published on the KERA News website discusses the legitimacy of weight loss medications and medical weight loss programs, though the experts say that users of the medications need to be clear about what they are taking.
To reach their conclusions, the research team lead by non-surgical weight loss experts from UT Southwestern Medical Center, analyzed data from several, randomized control trials which had been performed over the last decade. They found that several medications were effective in suppressing appetite and helping patients feel fuller when they eat. The most effective medical weight loss medication appeared to be phentermine.
"These medications independently help people to lose weight by suppressing appetite or helping them feel fuller when they eat, but when they’re used in combination, they can be used in lower doses, usually with fewer side effects. And that helps people to suppress their appetite and feel fuller sooner, eat less and that kind of helps with that part of the energy balance equation.”

A new article published at Science Daily discusses the far reaching benefits of physician-supervised medical weight loss programs. The article follows the story of Valerie Prim, a North Carolina woman who had suffered with overeating and obesity. Because she grew up in a large Italian family, Prim says that large meals were a major part of her life. Life events, including becoming an empty-nester, further encouraged her eating habits and led to significant weight gain going from 150 lbs to over 220 lbs. As a result of her weight gain she developed high blood pressure and was close to being pre-diabetic.
It wasn't until Prim entered into a physician-supervised, medical weight loss program that she received the support she needed to lose weight. Under the care and guidance of a weight loss doctor, Prim was able to lose over 70 lbs and restored her body to health..
"Historically, providers have been taught directly or implicitly that obesity is more of a character flaw, that it's related to being lazy and inactive. Now, we have the AMA designation of obesity as a disease, which has been influenced by progress in the science of obesity. As a result, we're changing people's attitudes, and the next step is to improve access to more medical treatment for obesity."
