2011 Obesity in adults and children leads to conditions like heart disease, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes. With current obesity rates reaching what the American Center for Disease Control (CDC) calls a widespread epidemic, people are finding that diet & exercise alone are not always enough.(1888PressRelease) December 21, 2011 - With North American obesity numbers on the rise, the number of people looking to weight loss surgery for relief is also on the rise. In Canada, nearly one in four residents are considered obese. That number increases to one in three for the American public.
For the past two decades, obesity rates have increased significantly in Canada and the United States. The rate of increase for men was 10 per cent in Canada and 12 per cent in the United States. It was slightly less for women.
The trend shows no signs of easing as a recent study of 34 OECD countries put the United States and Canada in the top 3 countries with the highest childhood obesity rates. In Canada that number is one in four, with an even higher rate in the United States.
For adults as well as children, being overweight or obese can have a devastating effect on their health. Diabetes, heart disease, metabolic disorders, high blood pressure, joint problems, sleep apnea, and other chronic health problems are common conditions related to being severely overweight. Not to mention the tremendous negative emotional and psychological impact of simply carrying a few extra pounds.
It is clear that an active lifestyle combined with a healthy diet is the key to maintaining a healthy body weight. What isn't clear is how a severely overweight or obese person gets to a BMI or Body Mass Index that can be maintained with diet and exercise.
Losing a large amount of weight in the form of excess body fat is a daunting task. With a large majority of this group already experiencing health problems, the chances of success without surgical intervention are low.
A number of surgical interventions are available. Of these, gastric banding or laparoscopic banding has proven to be the best choice with high success rates and a much lower risk of complications. Laparoscopic banding is a minimally invasive operation with a lower rate of operative complications than gastric bypass. It has demonstrated its effectiveness and is proven to be the best and safest choice for most weight loss surgery candidates.
While there are plenty of clinics offering gastric banding surgery throughout North America, a potential candidate should choose their provider wisely. The experience of the surgeons, effectiveness of the program, aftercare and support should all play a role when you're deciding who to trust with your health.
Leaders in the field like Slimband have performed thousands of gastric banding surgeries. They have experienced surgeons as well as the dedicated support staff needed to ensure success. The whole process from assessment to surgery to aftercare and support needs to be seamlessly delivered to ensure the best results. Weight loss surgery leaders like Slimband should be your first choice when considering your weight loss surgery options. The Slimband surgical weight loss clinic has one of the most active gastric banding programs in the world with over 6,000 surgeries performed to date.
The surgery itself involves the placement of a gastric lap band around the top of the stomach in order to reduce the volume of food the stomach can hold. This reduces the amount of food that can be ingested, curbs hunger, and leads to significant weight loss.
Many studies have been conducted that review the effectiveness and safety of weight loss via gastric banding. The results are promising:
- The average gastric banding patient loses 1 - 2 pounds per week consistently
- The average band patient loses about 50 per cent of their excess weight within a year of undergoing the operation
-Lower mortality rate versus gastric bypass surgery
-Reversible - the stomach will return to normal size if the band is removed
-No cutting or stapling of the stomach
-Outpatient procedure
-Fast recovery
-The band can be easily adjusted (filled)
-Fewer complications versus gastric bypass surgery
As with any surgery there are potential complications, though considerably lower incidence as compared to gastric bypass.
-Standard risks associated with outpatient surgery
-Productive burping
-Ulceration
-Gastritis
-Nausea and vomiting
-Gastric band slippage
-Stoma obstruction
John C. of Toronto had a gastric band inserted 3 years ago by Slimband because of high blood pressure and concerns over diabetes. He dropped over 150 pounds and now maintains his weight with proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.
"Slimband gave me the tools that allowed me to build a future that looks brighter than I ever thought possible. The combination of the Slimband, as well as the nutritional and lifestyle coaching they provided has helped me go from 408 pounds all the way down to 258 pounds, and I've kept it off for 2 years! I don't have any more back or joint pain, and my edema, as well as risk for type 2 diabetes, are things of the past. More than ever I feel confident knowing that this time my past struggles with weight will actually stay in the past."
If you are a potential candidate for weight loss surgery, consider your options carefully when choosing your gastric banding clinic. Your weight loss success and higher quality of life are in their hands.

Share: Tweet22
Dec
2011The upcoming 8 week your best body challenge is a great way for people to get in shape, learn healthy eating habits, and best of all- raise money for the boys and girls club!
San Jose, CA (1888PressRelease) December 22, 2011 - Audra Baker, the owner of Be Fit Boot Camps and Personal Training is on a mission to change the shape of people everywhere and raise thousands of dollars for the Boys and Girls Club, Silicon Valley. Her "Your Best Body Challenge" could help hundreds of people transform their bodies in 8 weeks, free of charge while gathering donations for this incredible organization.
"The challenge kicks off on Saturday January 7th 2012. There's no cost to participate in the challenge," says Audra "all we ask is that each person make a small, one-time $20 donation to The Boys and Girls Clubs of Silicon Valley. That's it."
Audra's "Your Best Body Challenge" is part of the fitness and weight loss contest phenomenon started by the hit TV show, The Biggest Loser. "That show really focused the nation's attention on the benefits of participating in a contest, guided by professional fitness coaches, in terms of the motivation and accountability necessary for success," explains Audra "It's difficult to lose weight and get in shape on your own. Anyone who's tried and struggled knows that - and unfortunately, that's the majority."
At www.YourBestBodyChallenge2012.com, Audra gives the details of the challenge and provides a complete 8-week Transformation Guide that can be downloaded instantly, containing instructions, questions and answers, rules and regulations, prizes awarded to winners and even a complete 8-week exercise and nutrition program.
"Anyone over the age of 18 is welcome to participate," Audra says. "We want to help as many people as we can, and this is the best way to do that. Last year we had over 300 people participate and raised $6000 for the Boys and Girls Club and this year will be even bigger!"
Many local businesses have agreed to sponsor the challenge by helping spread the word and provide the prizes awarded to the Your Best Body Grand Champion and two runners up. "It's definitely a San Jose city effort," says Audra, "we couldn't do this without a lot of help and are grateful for the generosity of all our sponsors."

Ayla Skye's New Cookbook Shows You How to Slim Your Waistline and Fatten Your Bank Account
Share: Tweet25
Jan
2012 The founder of QuickandFit.com, Ayla Skye, uses the extra cash that she saves each month to travel and learn about healthy eating. This research prompted Skye to write, and publish a book about slimming your waistline while fattening your wallet entitled The Eat From Home Diet: How to Get a Slim Body and Fat Wallet.(1888PressRelease) January 25, 2012 - The founder of QuickandFit.com, Ayla Skye, uses the extra cash that she saves each month to travel and learn about healthy eating. This research prompted Skye to write, and publish a book about slimming your waistline while fattening your wallet.
The Eat From Home Diet: How to Get a Slim Body and Fat Wallet is a wonderful tool for those seeking to tighten their belt, reduce their medical bills, and put a little extra cash in their bank accounts. Skye's book, released this month, is available at major book retailers such as Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
More than two-thirds of Americans are overweight and nearly everyone has felt the financial squeeze of tough economic times. "I am like most Americans; I lost a lot of money in the stock market," Skye remarked. Frequent questions about how to lose weight and eat healthier from bar patrons and unhealthy people caused Skye to create the Quick and Fit Diet.
"I grew up in a household where our meals were healthy and home-cooked nearly every night. Being an athlete, I couldn't perform my best without nutritious meals," says Skye.
Skye trained for the U.S. pentathlon in 2008 until a shoulder injury caused her to change careers. Today she is passionate about helping others find Quick and Fit solutions to slim down and avoid prescription medications. During her shoulder recovery she was constantly teaching people how she maintained her slim figure even though her workouts had been drastically cut.
The answer, she says, is simple-avoid the SAD and cook at home. "The Standard American Diet will make you fat, sick, tired, and broke." Skye says many Americans have cut corners and are trying to save cash by eating at fast food restaurants but it's not cheaper and the ingredients will add multiple pounds each year. Skye says her diet shows how to eat organic, healthy, fresh, and satisfying foods-all while saving readers big bucks each month. Plus, Skye shows readers how to reduce sodium, sugar, and processed carbohydrates-and still make the food mouth-watering.
Skye's mantra is "Eat from home, stay out of the drive-thru, save money." Each recipe takes only minutes to prepare and many come from her childhood. Her own mother made healthy, home-cooked meals most nights. The family dined out only one night a week.
Her book incorporates Quick and Fit tips that help readers easily implement the diet and the lifestyle changes needed to slim down their figure and fatten up their savings.
On Saturday, January 28th, 2012 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at The Kitchery in downtown San Diego, Skye will be giving away recipes, sharing healthy eating tips, explaining money saving strategies and conducting cooking demos from her new book The Eat From Home Diet: How to Get a Slim Body and Fat Wallet. Demonstrations will take place every 30 minutes, and the event is free to attend. Copies of The Eat From Home Diet will be available for purchase, with a portions of the proceeds benefiting the USO.
Skye is also available for interviews and speaking engagements to discuss her new book, The Eat From Home Diet, healthy eating and achieving goals for the new year. For more information or to schedule an interview with Ayla Skye, visit www.QuickandFit.com, call (614) 282-0232 or email Julie (

TheCelebrityCafe.com interviews an internationally renowned nutrition expert JJ Virgin
Share: Tweet12
Feb
2012The longest-running entertainment magazine on the Web interviews one of the nation's foremost fitness and nutrition experts.
(1888PressRelease) February 12, 2012 - OCEANSIDE, NY - TheCelebrityCafe.com interviewed nutritionist JJ Virgin whom explains that people can actually be weight loss resistant and what you really have to do to lose the weight and keep it off.
JJ Virgin is a renowned nutritionist who quit doctoral school but now currently co-hosts in TLC's Freaky Eaters and helps as an expert with another show, Fat Chef. The expert also tells us, genetically modified food (banned in Europe) and "artificial sweeteners are some of the worst foods" and that "snacking is the worst possible thing" to do since we become addicted to the wrong types of foods.
JJ Virgin believes that the reason we have this massive obesity epidemic is due to misinformation and teaching people the wrong things. To combat this, she has made it her mission "to get the right information out".
A rule that JJ Virgin lives by is "moderation is a myth". This means a side of coleslaw does not make up for that double cheeseburger you had with it. Something to look out for is that "a lot of breakfasts are desserts in disguise" so be cautious about what you buy with that morning Espresso.
JJ Virgin tells us that the biggest myth about dieting is "that it's calories in calories out". Her well known slogan, "your body is not a bank account- it's a chemistry lab" teaches us that you can't only eat less and exercise more. When it comes to eating, it is not how much, it is what, when and how fast you eat, among other factors which can be found in the full article.
