Weight Management

Weight management is probably one of the top two most complex medical conditions to deal with. Despite all the hype about "calories in, calories out" being the key to losing weight, it is all too apparent that it is so much more complex than that.

NOT ALL FATS, CARBS AND PROTEINS THE SAME

While caloric intake is very important; even more important is WHAT you take in. Not all fats are bad. Some can actual protect against obesity, heart diseases, certain cancers and diabetes. Not all carbohydrates are equal. Some contribute to almost every ailment known to man, including increased risks of cancer of the alimentary tract (mouth to colon and everything in between). On the other hand, "good" carbohydrates protect against almost all the ailments the "bad" carbohydrates contribute to. The same goes for proteins.

THE HIDDEN FACTOR BEHIND weight management

Probably the most important factor in weight management is the role that hormones play. Leptin, insulin, cortisol, glucagon, estrogen... They all are major players in losing, gaining and maintaining weight. Any weight management program HAS to address the hormonal factors involved. Almost none do. Another rarity is a dietician or "weight management coach" who fully understand how the body works. Unfortunately, many physicians do not fully grasp the complexity of weight management and hormonal regulation.

MANY DIETS CAN BE DANGEROUS

There are literally thousands of books, videos and programs designed for weight loss. Some of them can be dangerous--even the most popular ones. High protein diets, over the counter diet pills and prescription diet pills all have aspects of harm to them. And very few have shown to be effective at KEEPING the weight off. They are DIETS, and diets are inherently set to fail.
