China crazy about losing weight fast

In modern society Obesity is a curse but one of China's most popular specialised hospitals is looking very eager to help weight loss hope with great techniques and long experience.

Aimin Fat Reduction Hospital situated in the coastal city of Tianjin claims to do just what its name suggests with traditional herbal remedies and treatments such as acupuncture, cupping and massage.

Chief doctor and hospital director Shi Lidong told Reuters that "The best thing about the Chinese way of losing weight is that it's safe and natural. While the weight falls away fast, we can also guarantee that all the life indicators are normal."

Hundreds of overweight and obese chinese are attracted towards the hospital , and also foreign patients are making their way there. American Alonzo Bland, who weighs 290 kgs (640 lb), checked into Aimin in May after winning a contest for one year's worth of free treatment held by a company that organizes trips to China for medical treatment.

Bland, a former social worker from Green Bay, Wisconsin, suffers from numerous health problems and has not worked in a decade because of his size. He can hardly walk and has a tube to help him breathe and offset the effect of the fat on his chest and neck which presses on his windpipe. He added "I think that fast food has played a big role, just the choices of being unable to go in the kitchen and fix something healthy, get in a car and go around the corner to get something that is fast.”

After failing to lose weight at home, Bland said he hoped China will help. "My ultimate goal is to lose weight and be healthier. It is up to me, but Chinese traditional medicine will help that along, and make the transition a lot more smooth for me," he said.

Mainly Chinese food consisting of green vegetables, tofu and rice, is the diet Bland should be on, Shi said. Bland is also being treated with acupuncture, cupping and massage. A Chinese patient who gave his name as Shen said he had come to the hospital after his weight became "inconvenient".

"You affect other people while sleeping and it is just inconvenient in life. I have to lose weight," he said while receiving acupuncture and massage treatments from doctors.

Thousands of plants, fungi and animals -- some endangered and controversial -- are used to make traditional Chinese remedies that are increasingly seen as an alternative to, or a complement for, pharmaceuticals. It is believed to have less side effects than Western medicine.

Hospital director Shi said he was confident Bland and his other patients would lose weight, but warned Aimin's traditional therapies were no replacement for another, age-old way to keep the weight off: exercise.

People smoking cigarettes to lose weight

It’s hard to hear and face the reality which says you are fat and need some precautions, cures to lose weight but who am I to teach these lessons? So, being your well wisher and true friend I can’t tolerate my country going towards the hell which is created by us only. As per our grandfathers and their elders too human beings are categorized in three levels according to their commonsense, presence of mind and honesty.

Our today’s discussion is on smoking. Why some peoples think smoking could treat overweight well? If we watch some thin guy smoking a cigarette quickly we make our mind that if we also start smoking fat can never be in excess but it’s not a evidence or any specialists advice. Unfortunately, smoking is one of those means that some of those women use to lose weight. Why smoking? It is because smoking is one of the fastest ways out there to lose weight. Smoking accelerates weight loss because it kills the appetite and quickly burns the extra weight off the body’s system.

Did you know that smoking is currently the leading cause of death in the United States? According to the United States’ National Institutes for Diabetes & Digestive & Kidney Diseases, diseases directly resulting from smoking kill more than 400,000 people in the United States. Smoking also increases the risk of a person getting cancer. And not just cancer of the lungs; smoking is linked to cancer of the cervix, the larynx, the esophagus, the kidneys, the pancreas, even breast cancer. Smoking also robs the body of calcium, so women who smoke are more prone to developing osteoporosis than women who do not smoke. In addition, women who smoke are also more likely to give birth to premature babies and babies with congenital defects.

Final conclusion after going through all the effects of smoking is that if you want to lose weight, smoking is not the ticket for you. I have mentioned earlier also try some simple exercises not necessary to go gym. Just plan a diet chart, know more how yoga treats overweight well and also some incredible benefits of dieting. Make use of your legs more of driving luxurious car and control your mouth going for fast foods. In this way, you will not feel hungry at all, and yet your body will remain nourished and actually increase its metabolism.

Quit smoking. Smoking is not good for you.

Weight loss hard to cure with snack diet

According to dieticians research theory splitting daily food intake into four or five snack-type meals speeds up fat-burning.

As per study 200 obese Australians, they found no weight-loss advantage from such kind of a diet.

Michelle Palmer, a dietician at the University of Newcastle told "There seems to be little benefit to changing how often or how regularly you eat if you're trying to lose weight."

"We found it's not when you eat that matters, but what and how much you eat."

Mainly the study involved 200 obese men and women who were all going with the same healthy, weight-loss diet and with the similar kilojoules intake, but with differing eating patterns.

One group ate three times a day, while the other added in three extra snacks to try to keep metabolism boosted throughout the day and speed up fat-burning.
But results showed no difference in changes in weight, waist measurement, body fatness or blood sugar levels between the groups.

Ms Palmer has told the national dieticians conference on the Gold Coast this week that the findings should end debate on the advantages of snacking and focus Australians back on keeping dieting simple.

She also said that "Many people find it hard enough to stick to a healthy eating plan to lose weight, let alone worrying about any suggested benefits of snacking or not snacking."

Dr Tim Crowe, a nutrition specialist at Deakin University in Melbourne, said the research dispelled a "faddish dieting trend".

Dr Crowe added "It's popular advice yet there's been very little research to show it actually helps with weight loss."

"It's rubbish. In fact, there's some research to suggest playing around with when you eat may actually cause you to put weight on."

He said dieters should be discouraged from making drastic changes to their eating patterns, but do what works for them.

Normally pregnancy gains some pounds

A very typical stage for women when they couldn’t have control over weight is pregnancy. I remember those days very well when my wife Rosy who was quite conscious about her weight and fitness of body. She use to spend 2-3 hours on exercises and yoga to maintain the body tune which is essential after marriage.

After 9 months the stage came when she gained 30 pounds because of pregnancy and it was petty surprising that person who is so conscious about fitness gains weight instantly. I took her to family doctor for checkup then she told “Weight gain does things for you and your baby. First of all remember you are growing a new human being. We know that women who deprive themselves of good nutrition during pregnancy tend to have smaller, sickly babies who require more hospital time and have a higher incidence of problems including neonatal death.” Finally I came to know the real cause behind the weight gain.

Where the Weight Goes

7.5 - 8.5 lbs Baby
2 lbs Amniotic Fluid
1.5 - 2 lbs Placenta
1.5 - 2 lbs Breast Tissue
3 lbs Blood Volume
2 - 2.5 lbs Uterine Muscle
4 lbs Water
8 lbs Maternal Stores

So I at last was happy because after 30-40 days some one will took birth who will call me the four magical alphabets “DADY”. Doctor also told me that after 2-3 month she would be again fit ‘n fine and may control her weight.

Swimming beneficial for losing 40 pounds

I was also surprised when my grandfather Mr. David john suggested me to swim for half an hour daily. He has vast experience as a swimming coach and gym trainer. I was gaining weight very quickly and then finally my weight became 190 pounds which was quit more as compared to height.

I was having a very busy schedule those days because the client reports were to be sent but then also I managed to take out 30 minutes for swimming. I joined a health club where swimming pool was available and purchased a suit.

I shocked after a week when I measured my weight which came down from 190 pounds to 180 pounds. When my grand father heard about it he became happy because he was the one to advise me for swimming.

Finally after one month’s hard work I brought my weight to 150 pounds. So that’s nice because I have only spent 500 USD for loosing weight.

Sizzling weight loss challenge for kids

According to a research News 19 found three kids between the ages of 12 and 14 that want to lose weight fast. They're working with a trainer and nutritionist and we'll be tracking their progress.

News 19 has partnered with the Charles Drew Wellness Center to start a Weight Loss Program for kids. The kids will work with a personal trainer and nutritionist so they can gain the skills they need to shed pounds and become healthier.

Our first participant is 14-year old Aries Jordan. Aries loves spending quality time with his younger brother Austin.

He says his self-esteem is high and he has lots of friends.

Still, Aries is sometimes singled out. He said, "I get picked on a little bit but it doesn’t matter to me."

Aries is teased because of his weight. In the last two years, his mother, Tracy says he's gained 70 pounds. Right now, he's 5'8 and weighs 243 pounds.

Aries said, "He's bigger than the average 14-year old."

Aries is on the football team at Hand Middle and he plays basketball recreationally, but when the seasons are over, the weight he loses piles back on.

Tracy said, "He has diabetes on both sides of his family so the possibility of him getting diabetes is great because of his weight."

When it comes to eating, sometimes, Tracy does cook, but she says healthy eating comes at a cost.

Tracy said, "It costs more to eat nutritiously for me. I'm on a budget and to eat better, it just costs more."

They eat fast food two to three times a week.

Tracy added, "It's quick and it's cheap."

Aries is ready to make a change. He wants to eat better and work out more.

He told News 19 the reason why. Aries said, "So I can look slimmer and be more comfortable with my body more."

While he's the focus, Tracy's hoping the entire family will benefit from his lifestyle change.

Tracy said, "I think its best that we all work together as a family for all of us to lose weight and learn how to cook and find more affordable ways to buy nutritious food."

We have two other participants in the program. 12-year olds, Perla Reyes and Jade Cain. Their stories will air on News 19 over the next couple of days. You can also see all of the participants’ first assessments with personal trainer, Bertram Bailey and nutritionist, Teri Marriott Wednesday night at 11PM.

Late night sleeps may cause overweight

Dancing in disco for late nights, chatting with your friends etc. is responsible for waking up late in the morning which slowly increases your body weight. Recently a research was done in America according to which 60-65% of citizens are gaining weight only because of improper schedule of getting up and going for sleep. Mr. adwords an experienced American scientist has proved that normally a human being has to sleep for atleast 7-8 hours but if he breaks the schedule in that case also it comes under improper timings.

I remember my college life very well when I use to sleep at 12 pm and waking up at 10 am which affected on the body weight. During one month I gained around 40 pounds only because of bad habits which became a critical problem for me but I never get upset. I started striving hard and searching for all resources which could be helpful in reducing my weight. I have gone through around 40 weight loss programs but all were based on the same criteria and functionality.

As per my experience you should avoid late night plays because these are short term fun and could vanish away your whole life. For more information you can discuss with your family doctors and take their advices, if at any point you need my help contact freely through mails.
