Introducing Dr Lipman’s HCG Diet Plan

Introducing Dr Lipman’s HCG Diet Plan

I would like to introduce you to a new weight loss program that involves no surgery or starving, no outrageous exercise programs, no dangerous pills or expensive packaged meals. You won’t feel tired, hungry or grumpy as with most diets.  It’s Dr Lipman’s HCG Diet. Plan. Although the HCG diet has been receiving a great deal of attention lately, it actually is not a new concept.  In fact, using HCG for weight loss was first reported by British physician, Dr. A.T.W. Simeons in 1954. Dr Simeons working in Rome discovered that small doses of HCG given to overweight individuals (men and women) decreased their appetite, and made them lose inches specifically around their hips, thighs, buttocks and stomachs. He published a booklet, Pounds and Inches. You can download the full Simeons report: Dr. Simeons was impressed by HCG because it could be paired with a low calorie diet without causing the same side effects commonly associated with low calorie diets.  For example, Dr. Simeons noticed that his patients could drastically reduce their caloric intake without experiencing irritability, hunger pains, headaches, or weakness while also taking HCG.  The HCG Diet has been used since then for weight loss in very obese persons as well as those wanting to shed a few unhealthy or unwanted pounds. As Dr. Simeons continued his research, he found that an HCG injection did more than just help his patients lose weight.  In fact, he found that the injections also helped to naturally reshape his patient’s bodies even if they did not engage in exercise while on the diet.  Dr. Simeons concluded that this was because the patients lost their fat tissue from fat stores around the waist, hip and buttocks which made changes in the body shape more visible. Dr. Simeons noticed several important factors including the lack of symptoms one would expect from a patient on a very low calorie diet. For example, his patients had no headaches, hunger pains, weakness, or  irritability as long as the low calorie diet was combined with HCG. Tens of thousands of people used this simple, inexpensive, safe HCG diet treatment and  achieved miraculous, fast, and permanent  weight loss. My program is based on Dr. Simeons’ research and, when accompanied by a low-calorie  diet, can  result in an average weight loss of about  1 pound or more a day! When you join my program, we provide you with valuable information and a system when followed, can help you look better, feel better and contribute to an overall  healthier lifestyle. More About HCG Weight Loss Plan : HCG is a natural water-based hormone present in great amounts in pregnant females. HCG products can safely be used by both males and females who need to lose weight. The HCG hormone speeds up your metabolism, by signaling your body to burn more fat. Following the HCG diet protocol your metabolism will operate over 30%–a much more efficient level to burn, rather than store fat. HCG opens only the excess fat cells allowing excess fat to be burned. No other time in the human body does this happen, and so other diets often remove fat cells the body needs, causing us to lose in places we don’t want to first, and finally where you need it last. HCG forces you to burn the excess fat cells taking the needed fat, and literally sculpting the body, losing inches as well as pounds. We generally think of fat as just “fat,” but in fact there are three distinct kinds of fat, two of which we need, and one we don’t. If you’ve tried dieting, and found that the weight comes back, it’s because diets can’t rid us of the one kind of fat that most needs to be eliminated.  Here are the different types of fat in the human body: 1) Structural Fat* is the first type of fat. It fills the gaps between various organs, and acts as a protective barrier. Dr Simeons describes this fat: “Structural fat also performs such important functions as bedding the kidneys in soft elastic tissue, protecting the coronary arteries and keeping the skin smooth and taut. It also provides the springy cushion of hard fat under the bones of the feet, without which we would be unable to walk.” 2) Reserve Fat* is the second type of fat which fuels the body when the nutritional intake is insufficient to meet the body’s needs. Normal reserves are localized all over the body. *Both these types of fat, structural and reserve, are normal, and even if the body stocks them to capacity this can never be called obesity. 3) Abnormal Fat is the third type of fat which has the potential of providing fuel for the body, but rather than being available for nutritional emergencies, it is locked away in fixed deposits. It is this visible fat that people want to eliminate. In studying various weight loss programs, Dr. Simeons found that when patients starved themselves, they first lost their Reserve Fat and after that the Structural Fat was lost. In the HCG plan the “abnormal fat” is mobilized first. That’s the fat that most people want to eliminate. Dr Simeons explains these fats and weight loss: “When an obese patient tries to reduce by starving himself, he will first lose his normal fat reserves. When these are exhausted he begins to burn up structural fat, and only as a last resort will the body yield its abnormal reserves, though by that time the patient usually feels so weak and hungry that the diet is abandoned. It is just for this reason that obese patients complain that when they diet they lose the wrong fat. They feel famished “

Child and Teen Weight Loss Plans Differ From Their Parents

The epidemic of childhood obesity continues and more children gain more weight. Not only is the percent of children and teens overweight but the degree of weight gain continues to rise. Young teens are developing high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol just like their overweight parents. With 74% of men, and 64% of women overweight, that leaves about 25 million households with an overweight parent and one or more overweight children or teens. The eating in this group may be the easiest and most productive to reverse. Trying to isolate and treat an overweight child with normal weight parents and sibs is difficult and more often than not fails. Singling out a child for special food and exercise never works in the long run. Asking normal weight siblings or parents to “diet” does not work either. Why should the normal weight brother or sister also have to restrict his or her food?

Confusing the Goals of Overeating Children and Teens with Overweight Adults:

The answer is they don’t have to restrict their food, neither does the overweight sibling because the goals for overeating and overweight children are totally different than for overweight adults. The typical adult diet is designed for overweight individuals to lose weight by a combination of reducing food intake and increasing energy output with exercise. The rate of weight loss depends upon how the program is conceived and carried out. No one would be satisfied losing two lbs. a month, yet at the end of the year that is 25 lbs. Whether its special foods, counting one thing or another, restricting one food group for another, at the end of a year everyone trying with just a little effort can lose 10% of their body weight. The goal in adults is weight loss, the difference between diets is simply how it is done.

Monthly Weight Gain is Normal for Kids and Teens:

The goal in children and teens may not be weight loss. It is normal for children to gain 6 to 10 lbs. per year as they mature. If the parents simply stop the weight gain, most children in a year or two will grow into their normal weight. It’s much easier to stop weight gain, than to actually lose it, especially when the weight gain is part of the “normal” maturation process.

All that is needed is to make 1 or 2 changes in the whole family’s eating. This will let the overweight child stop the accelerated weight gain and become normal weight in a year or two. No one will miss a juice box a day or two cookies, yet each one of these unnecessary foods or drinks adds 10 lbs. a year to a child’s weight gain.

Every long term study of children and teens who successfully lose weight and keep it off are based on plans that involve the whole family, especially one or more overweight parents.

Cheat on Weekends & Diet During Week? Difficult to Lose Weight

A few years ago the belief was that it was possible to watch your food and drinks from Monday to Friday, and eat what you wanted on the weekends, or at least one or two weekend dinners and still lose weight. That was then, when restaurant meals were not 2500 calories or more. Now it’s not possible for most typical dieters. Even working out 3 or 4 days a week is not enough to make up for some of the very bad “cheat meals.” “Cheat meals” were the the meals we could all look forward to let our hair down and give in to urges. We used to think having a “cheat meal” would satisfy cravings and lower the pressure to be careful every day. The problems are due to the really high calorie, large portion meals some of us eat. Here are more details:

How many calories to maintain our body weight: just multiply weight in lbs. x following factor:

Gender……………………..inactive………..active

women………………………10 x weight…….12 x weight

men………………………….13 x weight……..15 x weight

Example, a women who weighs 160 lb. and is inactive needs to eat 10 x 160 or 1600 calories a day. It would rise to 1820 if she was active.

Effect of one “cheat meal” a week without exercise: A typical inactive women dieter weighing 160 lbs. needs to reduce her calories from 1600 to a little over 1100 a day to lose 1 lbs. per week: (1600-1100 = 500 calories less a day, 500 x 7 days =3500 calorie savings a week), this works out to a little more than 1 lbs. a week weight loss.

A man who weighs 200 lb. needs to cut calories down from 2600 to 1500, which then would save 1100 calories a day. Over a week that represents about 2 lb. weight loss Many meals eaten in Italian, Mexican and other restaurants can easily top 2500 calories or even more. Using 2500 calories as an example, subtract 800 calories for a meal that could have been eaten instead of the “cheat” and you get an extra 1700 calories for the one “cheat meal.” Take the extra 1700 calories and think in terms of how many calories does the one cheat meal add to the daily intake over the week: 1700 cal/7 days or 240 calories a day.

For women the one cheat meal a week reduces their 500 calories to only 260 calories and cuts their weekly weight loss down. Add two cheat meals a week, say Saturday and Sunday, and the total calorie savings per day is reduced to almost 0– thus no weight loss.

Effect of one “cheat meal” a week with exercise: As one would expect, adding exercise provides a little more room for the “cheat” but not as much as one might think. If the dieter were to burn 400 calories three times a week( 40-50 minutes on a treadmill), the daily average calories would be 1200 divided by 7 days, or 175 calories a day. Not enough to make up for the single “cheat” meal.

Here are some of the factors making cheating so difficult:

* Our metabolism slows down as we age, lowering our daily calorie requirements. Yet 1 lb. remains 3500 calories and walking one mile consumes the same 100 calories.

* Restaurants are serving larger and larger amounts, and people are eating these huge portions

* Compensation by exercise is usually exaggerated, and the calories are almost always less than what one might think.

*Exercise often increases hunger and sets up a “reward” system where the dieter exercises all week, and thinks that gives him license to pig out on the weekends.

Think “Cheat Meals’ are not so bad?

Here are the entrees without the salads, bread and deserts:

Chili’s Big Mouth Bites with French fries – 2,350 calories

Olive Garden Tour of Italy, with lasagna, chicken parmigiana, and fettuccine alfredo- 1,450 calories

The Cheesecake Factory Fried Macaroni and Cheese- 1,570 calories

Uno Chicago Grill’s Mega-Sized Deep Dish Sundae-2,800 calorie

The Cheesecake Factory’s Chicken and Biscuits- 2,500 calories.

Applebee’s Quesadilla Burgerwith fries-1,820 calories

The Cheesecake Factory Philly Style Flat Iron Steak with fries- 2,320

Applebee’s Quesadilla Burger -1,820 calories

T.G.I. Friday’s BBQ Chicken Wrap -1,720 calories

Cheesecake Factory Kids’ Pasta with Alfredo Sauce-1,803

IHOP Colorado Omelet -1,890 calories

Breakfast Beats Exercise for Weight Loss

“Going to the gym or breakfast” may be the choice facing some well intentioned dieters every morning. If you had only time for one of these, which would be more important?
The answer is on a cartoon video, or read below:

The answer is clear, breakfast trumps exercise every day. How can that be? Why is breakfast so important? It can add calories. The answer is simple, if you look at all of the overweight people that lost and kept their weight off, the one thing in common that stick out is the fact that they have breakfast. 90% of weight loss maintainers do not skip breakfast. Almost 100% of successful dieters have breakfast 6 out of 7 mornings a week. In terms of exercise: 50 to 60% exercise 4-5 days a week.

Here are the reasons breakfast is more important than exercise: It’s about eating, not metabolism.

1. It’s easy for something in everyone’s life to come in the way of exercise-exercise for most busy people is low down on priorities.

2. Breakfast, especially when eaten in the car, at school or at work takes no time.

3. Breakfast prevents most people from crazing during the morning, and making poor selections at lunch. It helps us slow down how fast we eat lunch. Fast foods and big restaurant type of lunches are easy to consume, especially if co-workers are eating them, breakfast helps protect us from this kind of eating.

4. Eating breakfast does not speed up your metabolism, just like eating small meals all day does not. How can one possibly speed metabolism up by eating! The confusion may be the normal increase in metabolism needed to digest food, but this number is a few calories at best. It’s never enough to have any effect on energy i.e. fat that is stored.

If you are struggling to lose weight, think “breakfast.” At home, in the car, at work, at school anywhere as long as you don’t skip it.

What’s to Eat for Breakfast:

For most people breakfast is about convenience. We will eat what is easy to get, cravings at this hour of the day play a little role. The obvious choices are the bagels, pastries, sugary cereals for adults and Pop tarts for kids.

That is exactly what we do NOT want for breakfast. Protein is the key to a good breakfast, we have learned that from the Atkins and South Beach diets. Protein prevents hunger and helps maintain blood sugar stability through out the morning. It prevents picking up the first snack we see around the office and then overeating at lunch.

Proteins like eggs, ham, cheese, high protein cereals, high protein bars or shakes make the perfect breakfast.

A good guide is to have at least 15 grams of protein for breakfast.

Is Your Child or Teen Overeating? “The Waist + 17 Rule”

Recognizing overeating and overweight in children and teens is very difficult for most

Waist Line for Overeating in Child and Adult

parents.  In adults, almost every one knows what they should weigh. If they don’t they can get on a scale, go to an “ideal weight table.” or better yet enter their height and weight in an on-line BMI calculator and in 3 seconds see if they are normal, overweight or obese. In general for adults, an BMI greater than 25 indicates overeating or overweight and an BMI of 30 or > indicates obese.

This is far more difficult in children and teens. Their weight changes normally almost every month as they mature. There is a great variability in height as well.  BMI for-age percentile has been used by professionals to find out if a child is indeed overweight. These table are cumbersome and something not only doctors but parents are not comfortable with. There can be no help for an overeating child or teen until the problem is recognized.

This article proposes the easiest of solutions:  The “Waist Line + 17 Rule”

It is very normal for parents to erect barriers to prevent them from enforcing eating rules in their children. Parents are used to feeding and nourishing their young and have great difficulties recognizing that their child is overeating. Doing something about it is even more difficult.

The latest US government statistics show that among the 335 million Americans 64% of the women and 74% of the adult men are either overweight or obese. About 34% of children and teens fall into these groups. That would mean that among the 115 million American households,about 3/4 of them would have one or more adults overweight and perhaps there are about 25-30 million American households with overweight children or teens and one or more overweight parents. This is the group of overeating Americans that are so hard to reach.

Body weight is second after height as one of the more important heritable factors. With one parent overweight the odds a child being overweight is 50%, and with two parents overweight it rises to 90% or more.

All of this data provides evidence that the children will follow the same path as their parents. The parental eating patterns are reproduced in the child. Starting to change this means that the parents have to recognize, that they need to lose weight and that their children or teens need to at least slow down their weight gain. Since the average child or teen gains between 6-10 lbs. a year normally, often it’s simply a matter of slowing down the weight gain so that in a year or two they will arrive at a normal or close to normal weight.

Here is how parents, especially if they are overweight, can start to help their overeating child:

1. For the parent, find any on-line adult BMI calculator, put in your weight and height, if you BMI is 26 or greater you are overeating. A simpler way is to measure your waist circumference, in a women a waist greater than 33 inches = overeating, in a man the number is 37 inches or more.

2. Measure each of your children’s waist circumference. Add 17 to their current age. If the resulting number is greater than the waist circumference then he is overeating. Example, if his waist was greater than 25 inches he is overeating (17 + 8 ys = 25, a normal 8 yr old should have a waist less than 25 inches. )

If you child exceeds this simple number he is not eating normal for his age. Although he may not be overweight yet, you can simply change the situation my making a few simple changes: stop the fruit juices or sodas, cut down on whole milk, eliminate visits to fast food restaurants, or prepare better school lunches. Get an exergame(video game and exercise, like Nintendo II or Dance Dance Revolution and play it together.

That’s all it takes. So simple, so easy to do.

Exergaming is the Answer to Childhood and Teen Exercise

The average US child and teen spends 5 hours per day in front of a screen. -Whether it’s

Exergames Burn Calories

TV, video games, smart phones or computer they have become transfixed by the
excitement and challenge of clicking, texting, messaging and exploring the Internet
just like their parents. The third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
reported that children aged 6 to 17 years increased their weight by 2% for each hour
of television viewed. Asking them to put down the remote and go play out side as we
all did 20 or 30 years ago, often in the cold or heat, and sometimes in dangerous communities is totally unrealistic today. Let’s wake up what child or teen wants to go
and kick a ball outside or ride his bike around the neighborhood when he can sit in air conditioned family room and role play as a Dragon slayer or fly a Star Ship and shoot down alien invaders with other on-line kids around the world! The pull of the screen is just too overwhelming. After all, if adults need the stimulation of smart phones, computers        and TVs almost 24 hours a day, what can we expect of our kids? Go to any gym and you will see TV screens all over the place, people working out with ear buds or transfixed on Internet screens built into the center console of exercise machines.

What these adults are doing, without even recognizing it is combining the excitement of the screen with the motion of the elliptical or treadmill and getting fit at the same time as having fun. They have a name for this type of exercise: Exergames, which are America’s answer to child and teen inactivity.

Exergaming are the new video games that may give our children a chance to be active without putting down the gadgets or turning off the Sarene, have fun, learn something and get fit all at the same time. Watch a You Tube Video

Dance Dance Revolution Exergames

92% of children have one or more video games in their homes. While video games may have contributed to the sedentary activity of our children, some new games may actually enhance physical activity. Games that encourage movement such as baseball bats, golf swings, dance and even martial arts are becoming more and more popular and may make a serious assault on the inactivity problems. Watch video of Dance revolution.

This genre of games has been called, “exergaming”-a combination of “exercise” and “gaming.” They use exertion-based interfaces to promote physical activity, fitness, and gross motor skill development.

The genre’s roots can be found in games released in the late eighties, including Power Pad (or Family Trainer) for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and Foot Craz for the Atari 2600. Konami’s Dance Dance Revolution was one of the first major exergaming successes. This was followed by the Eye Toy camera from PlayStation and eventually the Nintendo Wii Board.. The term exergaming entered the Collins English Dictionary in 2007.

All of the games are based on using an electronic sensor pad that is laid down in front of a TV screen. Some games require a console while others are stand alone. The video controller is thrown aside and all activity in the game is controlled by the child’s feet and arms. In 2006, Gamercise was released that incorporated traditional fitness equipment like treadmills, bikes and elliptical trainers with game controls. It was the release of Nintendo Wii balance board that brought the whole genre of exergaming home.

Several clinical trials, one sponsored by the American College of Sports Medicine, showed that Dance Dance Revolution(DDR) met the minimum guidelines for increasing heart rate. A Pennsylvania study showed DDR users doubled the heart rate during a 45 minute game period.

Calories Burned Doing Exergames

Investigators from the Research Institute for Sport and Exercise sciences measured the calories burned by 11 boys and girls between 13-15 years of age playing Nintendo Wii balance board. Calories in 15 minutes ranged from 202 calories for tennis, to 198 calories for boxing and 190 calories for Wii sports bowling. Walking in 15 minutes in comparison would burn about 60 calories WII sports produced higher calorie expenditures than Wii fit.

More recently the Mayo Clinic released data from both normal and obese 10-12 year old children comparing each of the different exergames currently popular. Walking while playing a video game added 330 calories as compared to playing the same game seated. Eye-toy, PlayStation’s II answer to Nintendo Wii increased calories by 273 above resting. By far the greatest change was Dance Dance Revolution where calorie increase was 382 above resting.

Activity -promoting video games are associated with substantial increases in energy expenditure, compared with seat-based screen activities. There were no significant differences in energy expenditure based on sex or age.

Burning Calories and Having Fun on Nintendo

More interesting was the collateral effects in young children. A study of 7-12 year olds playing DDR at least five times a week led to the children feeling more coordinated, less self conscious and less short of breath. They developed stronger self esteem and self confidence. Based on this study the State of West Virgina uses DDR in 756 public schools.

A study published in the British Medical Journal found that while playing the Wii uses significantly more energy than playing sedentary computer games, the energy is not nearly as great as playing the actual game. That’s a reasonable criticism; and is correct. However, it fails to realize the issue, is that for most children and teens the choice is sitting and watching a mindless TV program or playing a sedentary video game vs. an exercise game. Other exergames include such equipment PCGamerBike, and Gamercize, which combine traditional cardiovascular fitness machines with gaming, have not been questioned. The big issue is whether children and teens will use the equipment. The effectiveness of maintaining interest in exercise using traditional fitness machines has been examined with Gamercize and found to be six times more sustainable than exercise alone. A study of 7th-8th graders reported that the average spent 5 hours per week playing Dance Dance Revolution.

Whether it’s dancing, playing virtual golf, tennis, baseball, skate board or racing cars, the gamer is on his feet moving around, raising his heart rate and burning calories and at the same time having fun.

Some schools in the United States have even adapted this form of exercise as a substitute for activities such as baseball. Students often choose to use the equipment at lunch time and after school – typically times of relaxation when students are sedentary. Exergaming can provide excellent health, its an excellent way for getting kids hooked on physical activity, producing good exercise habits that can last their lifetime.
