Diet Doc HCG Diet & Weight Loss Introduces Medical HCG Diet to Colorado Residents


Denver, CO (PRWEB) February 04, 2012

Diet Doc HCG Diet and Weight Loss is pleased to announce the opening of Diet Doc HCG Diet & Weight Loss to residents of Colorado

“Diet Doc is now providing the medical version of the HCG diet to those living in Colorado, including those looking for the HCG diet in Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, or the entire state. Diet Doc is the only state-of-the-art weight loss organization providing the only modern-day version of the HCG diet in America,” reports Julie Wright, president of Diet Doc.

“Many doctors started offering the original 1950′s Dr. Simeon’s HCG diet which promises dieters they will lose 1 pound per day if they consume 500 calories per day while taking injections of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), a human hormone made by chorionic cells in the fetal part of the placenta during pregnancy,” reports Julie Wright, president of Diet Doc HCG Diet & Weight Loss.

Diet Doc is the only modern-day version of the original 50 year old Dr. Simeon’s HCG Diet protocol that all other doctors are using. The reason doctors are using a 50 year old HCG diet, verses modernizing as Diet Doc did a few years ago, is true weight loss doctors require additional training in weight loss. The doctor must understand how each person’s medical condition, daily food intake, age, lifestyle, gender and preferences all play into weight loss.

“Many doctors simply do not have time for this additional training, nor do they have time to manage each person’s weight loss the way it needs to be done to get the weight off people, fast and safe. This is where Diet Doc leads the weight loss pack as we train doctors across the USA on our HCG diet as it’s the only HCG diet which is Dr. Oz approved. Diet Doc does not support a 500 calorie per day diet as all other doctors are offering. We have seen people lose hair, muscle (which leads to saggy skin), as well as experience extreme hunger and fatigue,”reports Wright.

Diet Doc offers the modern day version of a 50 year old HCG diet and developed 4 other diet programs rolled into one that then personalizes the diet for every person to achieve an average of 1 pound of weight loss per day. Unsure which diet works best, with various fad diets, such as the NV diet pill, Beyond diet, Beyonce diet, Dotties weight loss, B12 weight loss… the list goes on and on. None of these types of diets are doctor supervised and none listed have medical research to support their weight loss claims.

“Diet Doc HCG Diet and Weight Loss is passionate about helping people reduce their weight to avoid certain diseases and health conditions associated with being overweight. Diet Doc wants to keep their comprehensive, medically, supervised weight loss program affordable to many people, not just a select few. We often hear people comment that our pricing model is half of what other doctors are charging reports Wright. This is because our mission is to help people lose weight, train them on what specific foods will cause a weight loss reaction in their body. This is how they keep the weight off long term,” reports Wright. “If we can do our best with each person, then we have gained the trust of many. This is how we make up for charging much lower than others,” states Wright.

“Diet Doc provides medically, supervised patient care to people across the USA. A collaborative approach to dieting is employed, which is labor intensive, but effective,” reports Wright. “Diet Doc works with physicians across the USA who are passionate about reducing obesity which is often the cause for many diseases and illnesses,” reports Wright.

*These weight reduction treatments include oral hCG or an injection of hCGa drug, which has not been approved by the food and drug administration as safe and effective in the treatment of obesity or weight control. There is no substantial evidence that hCG increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or “normal” distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restrictive diets. Results may vary and cannot be guaranteed. Medical supervision and compliance with our program is required.

Natural Health Company Warns Counterfeit Brazilian Diet Pills Are Dangerous & On The Rise In 2011


(PRWEB) July 20, 2011

Stories have swirled regarding two weight loss supplements, Emagrece Sim and Herbathin - also called Brazilian diet pills, since their use and popularity has skyrocketed in recent years. One manufacturer of the Brazilian diet pills has had to deal with the negative publicity surrounding these pills for years. Brazilian Basics manufacturers Emagrece Sim and while its products have never tested positive for any dangerous or harmful ingredients, it warns customers that counterfeit versions that have tested positive are on the rise in 2011.

One prominent story on The Today Show featured two women from the Miami area who were cloaked in darkness to hide their identities. They described taking Brazilian diet pills which helped them lose weight at a rapid rate. However there was a down side, a substantial downside. Both women tested positive for amphetamines during an employment drug test. Eventually the positive test was traced back to the all-natural Brazilian diet pill.

The story featured on The Today Show isnt the only case of women failing drug tests in connection with using Brazilian diet pills. The Miami Herald has also reported that up to four women failed drug tests while seeking employment at the Baptist Health Hospital in South Florida. Thomas Moore who spoke to the Miami Herald and works in the hospitals employment system recalls, One woman was crying, saying this hospital was what she wanted to spend her life doing. One of the women who tested positive for amphetamines told the Miami Herald, “This is really big. People in medical institutions, police officers everybody is taking these pills and nobody knows what’s in them.”

Reports like these continued to surface. Most originated from the greater Miami and South Florida area where it seems illegal versions of Brazilian diet pills were making their way into the US via the black market. This eventually prompted the FDA to release a warning to consumers about purchasing and consuming the diet pills known as Emagrece Sim and Herbathin. The FDA discovered the products it tested contained fenproporex, a stimulant the body converts into an amphetamine. It is not approved for use in the US, however even with the FDA warning many black market Brazilian diet pills remain popular to this day.

A recent story in Allure Magazine about a hair stylist for to New York models further illustrates this point. The stylist referred to as Thomas to protect his identity began using the Brazilian diet pills even after he was exposed to the wild mood swings of the models for one reason - the models were losing weight. Thomas recalls how after he began taking the pills he lost 25 pounds in only two months, The weight loss was pretty much effortlessI just stopped thinking about food. I felt great as if I had boundless energy.” Similar to the other stories involving Brazilian Diet Pills, Thomas went from feeling great to terrible in a short period of time. Just a few weeks later Thomas recalls having awful mood swings and lying in bed with his heart racing. His mother-in-law, who also had been taking the pills and having nearly identical side effects, took the pills to her physician where they were tested and determined to contain illegal amphetamines. They stopped taking the pills immediately and both Thomas and his mother-in-laws mood swings and racing heart stopped.

There is clear evidence of the dangers associated with counterfeit or black market Brazilian diet pills however even with the numerous horror stories directly tied to these pills they remain as popular as ever. For many, the possibility of a magic pill is just too tempting for many even if it means losing much more than just weight.
