“They can be dangerous and potentially fatal.”

As you might imagine, over the course of 29 years as a wellness practitioner I have seen many fads come and go, each promising to be even more amazing than the other. My focus today is to speak about the damage that HCG, prescription weight loss drugs and unnecessary medical weight loss procedures have on our Industry.

About a year ago while having a conversation with my sister who is a registered nurse, we got on the subject of weight loss. “You need to look into HCG, perhaps it could help your program” she said. I said “what”? She responded “are you living in a cave? HCG is the biggest rage here in Miami”. People have been losing weight left and right; and before you say anything, I want to let you know that this drug was developed by doctors!” She said. As all our clients know, I hate fads, gimmicks and quick fixes. That is why we named our program Armageddon Weight Loss! Armageddon means the final battle, and this is our final battle against fads, gimmicks and bogus claims. While speaking to my sister, I quickly Googled HCG to see what we were up against. However, unlike most people who look for all the great results that most products claim, I always look for side effects and possible harm that these products may cause. It did not take more than a few seconds to find a litany of evidence to support my basic instincts. First, according to the FDA, HCG is illegal as a weight loss supplement and cannot be sold online or in store! It can be harmful. According to Shirley Blakely, a nutritionist at FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, “They can be dangerous”, she says, “and potentially fatal.” This means it can KILL YOU!

There are so many risks to consider when you embrace fad diets.

When it comes to HCG, if the results seem too good to be true, you are correct! What is even more startling is how many health care providers are falling for these fad “starvation diets”. Many doctors are even offering to provide HCG and prescription drugs as weight loss solutions to their patients even thought the evidence shows that ALL current prescription drugs for weight loss only provide TEMPORARY RESULTS! Based on extensive research, it appears that all current prescription drugs tend to be effective for only up to six months with only a 5% to 10% decrease in body weight. That means if you weighed 200 pounds you would only lose 5 to 10 pounds. What is even crazier, is that in order for you to maintain SOME of that weight loss post 6 months, you would need to keep taking these medication; possibly for rest of your life! As discussed with my local Pharmacist and based current research, all current weight loss Drugs comes with cardiovascular risks, particularly heart valve damage! So here is a question for you to consider, why would you want to risk heart damage just to lose 5 – 20 pounds? Especially when you could avoid these risk factors by learning how to eat and exercise correctly. It appears that the intended goal of all current prescription drugs is to trick the body into thinking it is full while starving you to lose weight. Why not focus more research on helping the body to function more efficiently and then learn how to eat and exercising more efficiently?

Would you consider inserting a tube into your stomach just to lose weight?

Only a few months ago I also read an article about the K-E Diet that cost about $1500. It uses a nasogastric tube (a tube that goes through the nose and down the esophagus into the stomach) for 10 days with a promise to help you lose 10 pound in 10 days. As someone who has worked on the Bone Marrow Transplant, Lung Transplant and Burn and Trauma intensive care unit at Harvard Medical School Teaching Hospital for over 11 years, I can tell you that unless this is medically necessary; and I don’t mean “psychologically necessary” just to fit into a wedding dress, find a safer healthier path to achieve sustainable weight loss result results.

ONLY 7% OF DOCTORS DIAGNOSE OBESITY IN PATIENTS THAT WEIGH LESS THAN THEM!

Perhaps it’s high time that we take a closer at another stat. 53% of doctors are overweight! According to a study conducted by Johns Hopkins; “overweight doctors discuss weight loss with only 18 percent of their patients, and, only seven percent of doctors said they diagnosed obesity in patients they believed to weigh less than them. The researchers suggest that doctors’ weight could be playing an indirect role in the obesity epidemic.” While this is not an indictment against all doctors, what this data shows is that doctors don’t have all the answers. What is required is a cross-section of experts from multiple disciplines in order to have the best winning strategy.
