Is Medical Weight Loss Safe?

7/25/2012

Comments

 
I just discovered some literally horrifying “medical” practices that I need to tell you about. A patient, we’ll call her Sally – struggles with her weight and went to a local Medical Doctor in Novato who specializes in weight loss programs. She had gone through their program years ago and she thought it had worked for her because while she was on the program, she did lose weight.

Sally had a credit at this facility and decided that summer was a good time to get back on the program to get rid of some extra pounds. She used her credit of several hundred dollars to purchase their “medical food” products, which are integrated into the weight loss program they promote. I asked Sally to bring in some of the packaging so I could take a look at the ingredients. I had a feeling I wouldn’t like it, and it ended up way worse that my imagination! Take a look first, to the front of one of the boxes and see for yourself.

What is interesting is not only that its “artificially flavored” but the claim that the food “product” is nutritionally designed. Take a look now at the list of ingredients. Does this look nutritious to you?

Just at a glance I note carcinogens, common allergens, GMO products, as well as ingredients that specifically make it harder for your body to stop craving more food. It’s backwards. This makes me really sad and gives me more motivation to continue working with people on education about food and nutrition.

The best things you can do when you want to lose weight, whether you are morbidly obese, 30 pounds heavy, or just a little chunky – is to ADD IN real live nutrition to your existing diet. Once you begin filling your cells with live nutrition, you will begin to naturally crave more and more healthy things, and it will squeeze out the bad stuff. Hint, juicing is a great start!

If you interested in a real life-transforming, sustainable, enjoyable, magical adventure towards a thriving lifestyle, I am committed to educating everyone in the community through coaching, community classes and events and more. Call me to begin…
