Whether you are struggling to lose some baby weight, have a few unwanted pounds, or are among the one in five Americans effected by obesity, you know that long term weight loss is not easily achieved. There are many treatments and methods available on the market today that make weight loss in and of itself very easy, but can you sustain the weight loss over a period of time? Research shows that most weight lost in traditional diet and over the counter methods only leads to loss of water weight, and this means your waist line will not decrease for the long term. If this sounds like you, and you are tired of yo-yo dieting and trying every new diet fad, maybe it’s time to step up your game a little bit. Here you will find a host of weight loss treatments that are safe, effective, and WILL mean long term weight loss!

Fighting excess weight with the use of vitamins is a long standing tradition that goes back to the days of Hippocrates. With advances in science and technology, using vitamins at an intensive level is now being used for successful long term weight loss. Vitamins such as B12 are currently being used in oral formulations or pill forms that help you to lose weight effectively. In many cases, shots of vitamins like B12 are offered through advanced weight loss clinics that will monitor your intake and progress for you. B12 shots are now being proven to not only help you achieve your weight loss goals, but also are very beneficial to improving overall health in other areas as well.

Vitamin shots or vitamins by oral form are known to be effective in achieving long term weight loss due to their effect on your metabolism. You will love the calming effects on your nervous system, and will not only find yourself losing weight, but also feel better during the entire process! Specifically vitamin shots will be used to give you more energy, and to help you with your cravings. Some shots are also known to target fat areas directly, and can even burn your fat for you while you sleep.

Injections of amino acids are now being used as well in many weight loss clinics around the world. These are often found in a cocktail known as MIC, for Methione, Inositol, and Choline, and this cocktail has been known to target fat directly. The amino acid MIC shot targets your liver where your fat is metabolised, and will actually remove your fat from your body for you. Read the rest of this entry »

Employer insistence on weight loss

Posted on August 24th, 2010 in Health, fitness | Comments Off

One of the big questions of the day is how you would react if your boss told you to lose weight. Why might this happen? There are two obvious reasons. The first is performance. The bigger you are, the more physically difficult it is to do some work. There may also be issues over appearance. Not everyone fits into a uniform and looks good. Since many customers tend to judge the employer by the way the staff are presented, there’s pressure on employers to police the way you look. The second reason is pressure coming from the health insurance industry. It’s a statistical fact that the overweight are more likely to claim on health plans for longer term illnesses. This is forcing up premiums to employers but, to “help” those in financial difficulty, insurers are offering discounts if employers run wellness programs to incentivize their employees to lose weight. Allowing for many states allowing termination at-will, there are no real laws at a federal or state level to prevent discrimination on body weight. Unlike an injury leaving you partly paralyzed, the lawmakers say how much you weigh is a lifestyle decision and not a disability.

This is not a problem restricted to the US. In England, they are fanatical about soccer. Benni McCarthy who should play for West Ham is overweight and has been told to lose about 12 pounds. The club will fine him about $60,000 out of his pay for every week he fails to lose 2 pounds. The club sees him through training, controls what he eats while at “work”, and then waves goodbye to him in the evening. If he’s not losing weight, it’s because of what he does out of sight. If we go over to Turkey, the state-run Turkish Airlines has suspended 28 flight attendants for being overweight. If these attendants, 15 of whom are men, do not get down to their target weights, they will be given work in the back office. In the meantime, they have no pay which will restrict the amount they can afford to eat and speed their weight loss. Read the rest of this entry »
