From Lactose Intolerance to Weight Loss, New Dairy Free Guide Covers All

Posted on by
Reply

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 27, 2006

A new informational website, http://www.GoDairyFree.org, has emerged to address the growing demands of special diet consumers. Comprehensive guides, news, health information, recipes, resources, and product lists have packed this website full of usable content. ?Our goal is to create a complete, one-stop resource for consumers interested in any aspect of dairy free cooking, shopping, dining, or dieting?, stated Alisa Fleming, founder of Go Dairy Free.

Fleming is a self-proclaimed user and creator of http://www.GoDairyFree.org. She transitioned to a dairy free diet several years ago for medical reasons, and found resources on the topic to be quite scattered, lacking in nutritional merit, and at times, expensive. Fleming professes, ?I began researching and organizing the information for my own use, and then realized how many people could be helped if I published it for free access?.

How many people indeed. In 2003 Harris Interactive, a worldwide market research and consulting firm, conducted a national poll on vegetarianism. According to their survey, 6% of Americans never consume dairy products. This equates to well over 17 million dairy free consumers. Some may consider this number high, but many food manufacturers would agree that this estimate is right on the mark. Supply must keep up with demand, and the number of dairy free products on grocery shelves has skyrocketed into the new millennium. In fact, Go Dairy Free has uncovered over 2500 manufactured foods that are not only made without milk ingredients, they are also free from hydrogenated oils and other processed ingredients such as high fructose corn syrup.

So who are all of these dairy free people? Millions of lactose intolerant and milk allergic consumers have made the choice out of necessity. Many more select a vegan lifestyle for personal and social implications. Manufacturers have long recognized a consistent demand for Kosher Parve (dairy free) foods from the Jewish community. However, above and beyond these expansive groups, the fastest growing collection of dairy free dieters seems to be emerging from individuals seeking to prevent or treat chronic disease. A gluten free / casein free (milk protein) diet is a well-known option for those suffering with autism, chronic fatigue syndrome, or fibromyalgia. In addition, the infamous obesity epidemic is leading towards a massive experimentation with diets free from dairy or dairy fats in the pursuit of weight loss and overall health. http://www.GoDairyFree.org makes sure to address these crowds as well, with their 10-day challenge and a free printable diet journal.

Wary of too many advertisements and costly subscriptions, consumers like Fleming are returning to the Internet to create their own informational websites. Food manufacturers and consumers alike are quickly discovering the benefits of Go Dairy Free?s open meeting grounds. With unpaid product reviews, a newsletter, menu suggestions, and new product announcements onstage for the coming months, it seems the content supply of http://www.GoDairyFree.org will continue to follow the rapidly expanding demand.

Alisa Fleming is available for public appearances and media interviews. For further information or to schedule an interview with Alisa Fleming, call 702-505-4426.

Diet Doc HCG Diet & Weight Loss Announces Lowest Priced Doctor-Supervised Diet in USA

Posted on by
Reply


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 16, 2012

Diet Doc HCG Diet & Weight Loss recently conducted a nationwide survey of other doctor-support HCG diets and found that no other doctor offered a modern-day HCG diet with as low of cost as Diet Doc HCG Diet.

Diet Doc HCG Diet and Weight Loss conducted a survey of the larger HCG doctor clinics across the USA and found that the Diet Doc HCG Diet & Weight Loss is lower in price, yet offers more services and products in an all-inclusive program that is capable of shaving off 25-30 pounds per month.

Other HCG diet doctors are only using the 1950 Dr. Simeons HCG diet protocol, asking dieters to eat as little as 500 calories per day. The original HCG diet also requires dieters to inject with human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg), a human hormone made by chorionic cells in the fetal part of the placenta during pregnancy reports Ms. Wright. HCG Diet Doctors have nowhere to go to obtain doctor training on a modern day protocol explains Wright.

Diet Doc is the only modern-day version of the original 50 year old Dr. Simeons HCG Diet protocol that all other doctors are using. The reason doctors are using a 50 year old HCG diet, verses modernizing as Diet Doc did a few years ago, is true weight loss doctors require additional training in weight loss. The doctor must understand how each person’s medical condition, daily food intake, age, lifestyle, gender and preferences all play into weight loss. Many doctors simply do not have time for this additional training, nor do they have time to manage each person’s weight loss the way it needs to be done to get the weight off people, fast and safe. This is where Diet Doc leads the weight loss pack as we train doctors across the USA on the Diet Doc HCG diet as it’s the only HCG diet which is Dr. Oz approved.

Diet Doc offers the modern day version of a 50 year old HCG diet and developed 4 other diet programs rolled into one that then personalizes the diet for every person to achieve an average of 1 pound of weight loss per day. Unsure which diet works best, with various fad diets, such as the pink diet, pink method, pink weight loss, dash diet, snooki weight loss, nv weight loss. The list goes on and on. None of these types of diets are doctor supervised and none listed have medical research to support their weight loss claims.

The problem with offering 500 calories per day is this is literal starvation. We frequently have people coming to us on the 500 calories with hair loss, extreme fatigue and hunger, reports Wright. Diet Doc does not support a 500 calorie per day diet, but modernized a 1950 HCG diet into one that is safe, and that rolls 4 medically, supervised weight loss programs into one overall program that is then further personalized for each person taking into consideration their health history, age, gender, lifestyle and preferences reports Dr. Rao, medical director of Diet Doc.

Diet Doc offers one month of prescription medication, one month of weight loss shakes, one month of weight loss cooking/salad dressing oil that is clinically proven to help dieters start burning fat within 30 minutes of consuming, along with the Diet Doc workbook outlining the modern-day version of the Diet Doc HCG diet and a cookbook, plus unlimited nurse, doctor and weight loss consultant support 6 days per week priced low so they can help many, verses a small select few reports Wright.

Diet Doc provides medically, supervised patient care to people across the USA.We provide a collaborative approach to dieting, which is labor intensive, but effective reports Wright. We work with a team of physicians who are passionate about reducing obesity which is often the cause for many diseases and illnesses reports Wright.

*These weight reduction treatments include oral hCG or an injection of hCG?a drug, which has not been approved by the food and drug administration as safe and effective in the treatment of obesity or weight control. There is no substantial evidence that hCG increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or “normal” distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restrictive diets. Results may vary and cannot be guaranteed. Medical supervision and compliance with our program is required.

Eating, Gaining Weight, How to Control the Urge to Splurge

Posted on by

Lawrenceville, GA (PRWEB) July 31, 2005

I confess: I’m completely addicted to Pringles. My determinationweakens every time I think about munching into one, hearing thecrunch, and getting that first taste of its yummy flavor. Pure heaven. Although you don’t flip over chips, probably there’s another food that lures you into the refrigerator or the pantry cabinet. According to one study, 97% of women (compared to 68%

of men) experience cravings on food.

How do you control these urges that drag you in an intoxicated shape away from your diet plan and down into the swirling vortex of pleasure? I researched on the topic to give you expert advice on how to enjoy that art called eating without turning in into a feeding frenzy. Read on – and never again feel guilty about eating a chocolate chip cookie.

Take Charge of Your Eating Habits.

Try to control the number of food cravings you experience. It appears to be impossible for humans like us, but if you psyche yourself and develop fewer cravings, then slowly you’ll submit to fewer cravings.

According to one study of nearly 500 women, researchers found that women who received a daily 1, 200 milligram calcium supplement reduced their number of premenstrual food cravings by 54%. To reach the same result by getting the needed calcium intake from food, rely on skim milk and yogurt. Sounds a bit difficult for all lactose intolerant? Try some calcium-fortified foods or juices like cheese and calcium-filled orange juices. If you don’t feel you can get sufficient calcium from food, make up the difference using a supplement of calcium carbonate or calcium citrate.

How about something relaxing? When you’re anxious, the body produces more of the hormone cortisol, which may increase the amount of carbohydrates you want to eat. Sweets or carbohydrates temporarily increase our levels of serotonin, making us feel calm and relaxed.

Thus, one way of helping curb your sweet tooth, rent some videos, text your funniest friends, or schedule a spa weekend. Why not have a bit of chocolate once in a while? When you begin including small amounts of these forbidden foods into your diet, a funny thing happens: You don’t crave them anymore.

Distinguish specific cravings from hunger. Suppose you drive by a fast food outlet and all of a sudden, you develop a deep craving for French fries. Rather than rushing down the drive thru section, reassess your urge. Turn on your favorite music and switch your attention away from the fries idea. Suppose, on the other hand, you feel the need to satisfy not the urge but your hunger, select an apple pie or salad as a substitute.

Cut Hundreds of Calories.

Sure you can cut on hundreds of calories on what you eat every day! How? By making the appropriate choices on replacing high-calorie to low-calorie foods, such as cheese, creams, whole milk, butter, etc. Here are easy tricks to keep you cooking and eating minus the calories.


When cooking, use nonstick pan to eliminate the use of butter
and/or oil.

Remove the fat from the meat.
Remove the skin of chicken before serving.
Use butter-flavored seasoning on vegetables instead of
sprinkling butter.

For casseroles, desserts and sauces, use evaporated skim milk
(12 cal./tbsp.) instead of heavy cream (51 cal./tbsp.)

Cook stews and other casseroles ahead of time. Refrigerate.
Remove congealed fat before serving.

Choose real orange (71 cal.) over an orange juice (90 cal./6 oz).
For snacks, low-calorie fruits (cucumbers, asparagus, carrots,
apples, pickles) are good replacements for crackers and breads.

Use bottled chocolate extract for milk shakes instead of
sweetened cocoa.

Use two egg whites (34 cal.) for cakes instead of one egg
(82 cal.).

Choose diet margarine (50 cal.) instead of the regular
margarine (100 cal.).

Choose cereals with the least calories then add fresh fruits
to be more nutritious.

In parties, good substitutes for snacks are carrot strips,
pickle slices, and raw mushroom caps.

Drip away fats by cooking hamburgers on the rack.
Avoid chips with dips.

Staying in healthy shape depends on the right attitude. So how strong is your will power to control the urge?

Posted on by

Lenox, MA (PRWEB) July 11, 2007

The UltraSimple Diet is not actually a diet, it?s a trick. The trick, says Dr. Hyman, a three-time New York Times best-selling author and practicing physician, ?is that it?s actually a powerful health program disguised as a weight loss diet. If I can get someone to take these simple steps in only seven days, they?ll be shocked by just how good they can feel and will never want to return to their old way of life.?

Dr. Hyman explains further: ?I wanted to help people experience, often for the first time, what it?s like to achieve a state of UltraWellness ? lifelong health and vitality and get to the roots of illness and weight problems. The automatic result is weight loss, without cravings or calorie, carb, or fat restriction. In just seven days they experience a dramatic transformation in health.?

His prescription is simple: get rid of bad foods and bad habits, add good foods and good habits and the body automatically takes care of the rest from there. In one week, you may experience up to ten pounds weight loss, improved digestion, relief from chronic health problems, better energy and mood. There may be less congestion, allergies, joint pain, and fluid retention. And you may sleep better and see your skin clear up.

The health conditions improved by the diet may be arthritis, diabetes, food allergies, headaches, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, menstrual problems and menopause, and even more.

The basics of the program include getting rid of bad foods and toxins – sugar, refined carbohydrates, trans fat, processed foods, alcohol, and caffeine. Add in good foods – vegetables, fruit, beans, brown rice, fish, and chicken. Avoid potential food allergens – dairy, gluten, yeast, eggs, peanuts, corn, nightshades, and citrus.

So what does an average day look like on The UltraSimple Diet?


Breakfast ? lemon juice and hot water, green tea, and UltraShake (a low-allergy protein shake full of nutrients)

Weight Loss Essentials

(PRWEB) October 16, 2005

Your weight increased a little during winter or at the time of a change of life or a difficult period…

Result : you don’t feel comfortable with your body, and the loss of a few pounds would make you feel better. Here are some tips to lose weight without false notes.

Your weight loss success depends from two conditions : you must change your food habits and increase your physical activity. If you do not have any physical exercise today, there is no need starting

to workout like crazy, but a daily walk or a little swimming each week can already make a big difference.

Caution. If you need to loose 10 pounds or more, consult a doctor or a dietician because a regular follow-up is indicated.

Some weight loss principles

Losing weight is based on a few solid principles:


Give yourself at least a month to lose 4 to 6 pounds

Always prevent hunger and tiredness

Stick to your plan and rules fixed at the beginning

Avoid deficiencies in vitamins and minerals

Don’t use diet drugs or weight loss foods

Eating must stay a pleasure

Set your rules and stick to them

To change your food habits, it is necessary to moderately reduce your caloric intakes, i.e. initially the fat content and fast sugars. It is absolutely necessary to respect good food practices by adding some simple rules to it.

Don’t skip meals, especially breakfast which must remain copious. Have a light evening meal;

Don’t eat apart from your meals. If you feel hungry between meals, drink a large glass of water, a coffee or a tea without sugar. Also drink before your meal and in the middle of your meal;

Use starchy foods with each meal: pasta, rice, potatoes or bread. You will get a feeling of satiety and procure the energy you need, with fibres as well. On the other hand you should avoid all that accompanies them like fatty sauces, butter, cheese, etc. Just consume these starchy foods alone or with a sugar or fat free seasoning;

Don’t consume sugared beverages

Don’t drink alcohol or beer although one glass of red wine a day is ok.

Avoid eating outdoor because it is more difficult to control your food. In some restaurants it is possible, but being invited by friends makes it a lot harder. If you share a good meal with other people, decrease your quantity of food and never have a second serve.

Choose lean meats and privilege poultries without skin, fish and shellfish;

Attention with hidden fats: avoid meat prepared with sauces, fat pork deli’s, cheese toppings, butter or cream, gruyere and eggs, fried foods, Viennese buns and pastry, sweets and chocolate, ice-cream, and aperitif snacks;

Eat vegetables at will and alternate the preparation: raw, cooked and as soup;

Have two fruits a day, but not more

Choose the right cooking mode for your food

Meat: roasted or grilled

Fish: roasted, tinfoil cooked in the oven or microwave

Make your seasonings and sauces as light as possible: use a little oil, butter or cream, then use lemon, yoghourt, a stock cube and soya sauce, finally season at taste with aromatic herbs and spices.

Determination above all.

While complying with these nutritional rules, to lose weight it is wise choosing the right energy foods. It is thus useful to be informed about the nutritional value of food. It’s up to you to stay motivated and not to yield to temptations. The first week will be the most difficult one, but when you notice that you lost 2 pounds already, you will keep going. Small variations during your weight loss period are allowed as long as they are exceptional. You will need to find the right balance without falling into food obsession

or frustration. If you don’t find this balance you will probably start to nibble impulsively after which you will feel guilty and deprive you from any food and fall into a totally unproductive cycle compared to your weight loss objective.

Fasting For Weight Loss – Why Is It So Effective?

Posted on by

Fasting for weight loss is most definitely a hot topic. With everybody getting fed up with FAD diets something new and more effective is desperately needed. Diets almost never work for many reasons. One of the main reasons is simply because no one can stock with it for long enough to actually make it work. Diets also deprive your body of essential nutrients in a hope of enforcing weight loss.

This is why fasting for weight loss is so effective. Firstly, there’s no dieting involved. You get to eat whatever you want and there are no restrictions like with ordinary diet plans. For most of us the mere thought of not being able to eat certain foods can instill a sense of depression at the mere thought of going on yet another diet.

The problem of willpower and stocking to a rigorous eating plan has many pitfalls – pitfalls that I’m sure you are well aware of. Sticking to any eating plan for a day or two is easy. Anyone can do it. The problem is with sticking to it over a longer period of time and this is exactly why fasting for weight loss is so effective. You only need to be able to stick to it for a day or two at a time.

Whilst dieting is designed to deprive your body, fasting is designed to cleanse your body. One of the reasons why so many people can’t lose weight is because their systems are so clogged up that the natural process of eliminating fat is no longer possible. With poor digestion losing weight becomes an uphill battle.

When you are fasting for weight loss you do more than just lose weight. You cleanse your body and give your digestive system a well deserved break. If you look at the rate and quantity that most people eat, its no wonder we are an obese nation. Its estimated that the average person has 10 pounds of pure fat because of toxins. These toxins can be anything from preservatives and colorants to nicotine and alcohol that the body neutralizes by enveloping it in fat. This is the worse kind of fat and can be every difficult to lose.

Fasting for weight loss is not some miracle new diet or instant weight loss fix. It can be tough when you are first starting out, but as you get used to it you will soon see just how easy it really is to lose weight with this healthy and proven method.
