Want To Lose Weight?

Whether you need to lose a few kilograms or need to stabilize blood sugars and cholesterol, you should have someone on your side to help and support you.

More often than not, it is because people do not know how to eat properly. Much like a “get-rich-quick” scheme they embark on what they think is a suitable diet plan and when it does not fit in with their lifestyles or personalities, they ditch it and try another. Read the rest of this post

Weight Loss Surgery Restores Sexual Function in Women

0 Comments

Sex and obesity. The two words together conjure up visions of impossibilities, like mom and dad or worse, grandma and grandpa doing the “deed”. Well guess what? Mom and dad do have sex. So do grandma and grandpa, so it should come as no surprise that physical intimacy is just as important for morbidly obese men and women.

Unfortunately being obese creates incredible obstacles that prevent people from enjoying a normal level of sexual function. Physical limitations, medical co-diseases with obesity and self image challenges all limit both the physical and mental sexual desire for people suffering with obesity.

The good news is that a recent study has shown sexual dysfunction in morbidly obese women was almost completely resolved through weight loss surgery. Read the rest of this post

Roux-en-Y Surgery Boosts Insulin Sensitivity for Type 2 Diabetes more than Traditional Diet Treatments

0 Comments

Finally the facts speak for themselves. A recent research study has proven that gastric bypass surgery (Roux-en-Y) significantly increases insulin sensitivity for obese adult Type 2 diabetics over traditional diet options. In fact – 100% of the study population who received gastric bypass surgery, completely eliminated their Type 2 diabetic medications. This means that their insulin sensitivity challenges were entirely resolved through their gastric bypass surgery procedure.

This is compared to the control group who were put on traditional 800 calorie diets AND took at least twice as long to reach the surgery group’s weight loss. Only 55% of the diet group was able to completely eliminate their diabetic medications. Read the rest of this post

Artificial Sweetener vs. Sugar – The Choice is Yours

0 Comments

The WHO (World Health Organization) recommends no more than 10% of your total daily energy should come from added sugar. Based on a 2,000 calorie daily diet, you should not exceed 12 teaspoons of sugar daily. To gauge how much sugar is in a serving, divide the grams by 4. I.E. – 4 grams of sugar per serving translates into 1 teaspoon of sugar.

Many people wonder whether they should be eating sugar (natural or refined) or should they use artificial sweeteners as a replacement, in order to reduce calories and blood sugar levels while at the same time retaining the sweetness in their favourite foods. Knowing what you are consuming and their side effects may help in the decision making process?

Do sugars or sweeteners cause people to eat more food? Read the rest of this post
