The most extreme approach to weight loss is the most successfu



Some people are so desperate to lose weight they’ll stop at nothing, even turning to surgery to rid themselves of the misery of being overweight, or even obese.
According to the NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information), bariatric surgery, also known as the gastric band, is the single most successful way to lose weight and keep it off.
The problems with physical surgery however are two-fold
·         Cost – an operation can cost as much as $25,000
·         Risk of death – the NCBI put this at 0.3%
Now, even of you have pockets deep enough to fork out $25,000 for surgery, a 1 in 333 chances of not making it out the other end of the procedure is a serious cause for concern.
Let’s put that number into perspective.
The odds of dying in a plane crash are about 1 in 11,000,000. In other words, you’re 30,000 times more likely to die as the result of bariatric surgery than you are to die in a plane crash.
With odds like that, you might want to stick to flying!

You’re buying into all the over-hyped and under-proven weight loss information out there. And the food companies are making billions and billions of dollars from it. They are feeding off of hard working health conscious consumers just like us, stuffing their pockets with more and more of our money. And the scary thing is that they actually have very little concern for our health. They a

Weight Loss MYTH: Eat Less, Exercise More

‘THE BIGGEST LOSER’  When you get the advice EAT LESS and EXERCISE MORE, then there’s no other group of people who did exactly that than the contestants of the TV program ‘The Biggest Loser’, right? However, according to a study conducted in 2016 on former contestants of the weight loss reality show, not only were their weights back up but their metabolism was “slower than people of comparable age and body composition”. The study, which was published in the scientific journal Obesity, noted that the contestants’ levels of leptin, the ‘satiety’ or ‘ok, I’m full now, stop eating’ hormone have dramatically dropped. It seemed that their leptin levels never fully returned to their pre-TV show appearance levels even after six years! Although it’s true that the “EAT LESS and EXERCISE MORE” motto was obviously at extremely high levels for the show, the effects on the contestants long after the cameras have stopped rolling are still astounding. So what do these research findings m
