Case study: No weight loss on a low fat diet
Elizabeth was a lovely 53 year old lady who came to see me for help with weight loss. She needed to lose approximately 35 pounds and she’d been trying to lose it for the past 8 years. She did manage to lose some weight on her own, but it was the same four pounds that she kept losing and regaining again and again. Elizabeth’s health was fairly good although she did complain of a few things: Her muscles and joints were achy, particularly her knees first thing in the morning. Elizabeth’s hair was very dry and brittle and her nails were weak. She often experienced a bloated abdomen and felt so uncomfortable after eating lunch at work each day that she desperately wanted to undo the buttons of her trousers, but of course she couldn’t. I was confident Elizabeth would be able to lose weight and improve her health with a few simple diet changes. As with all my patients, I asked Elizabeth to tell me the types of foods she eats each day for meals and snacks. The first thing that struck me was all the low fat items that appeared in the list.

Case Study: Tired and Overweight
Recently I had the pleasure to meet an interesting 63 year old lady who came to see me complaining of extreme fatigue and increasing weight gain.

She was 5 foot 3 inches tall and weighed 290 pounds and her blood pressure was 170/100. When I reviewed her long list of prescribed medications I was shocked. Her poor liver had a great deal of work to do in breaking down these drugs.

What is cellulite and can anything be done about it?
Cellulite is the word used to describe the lumpy uneven type of fat that accumulates on the buttocks and limbs of many women. It is rather unsightly because it gives the tissues underlying the skin (subcutaneous tissues) an ‘orange peel’ or ‘cottage cheese’ look. If we compare cellulite fat to normal fat, we find that in cellulite, there are abnormal, physical and chemical changes. In women with cellulite, pinching of the skin produces a ‘mattress appearance’ with bulging and pitting of the fatty layer. On deep palpation of this layer, one may be able to feel tender nodules of fat trapped inside hardened connective tissue.

Natural ways to boost the effectiveness of your workout
Did you know there are natural supplements that can help you achieve better results from exercise? Just about everyone would like to look slim and toned, but not everyone is willing or able to put in the effort to achieve this outcome. A common line I hear from my patients is “I would exercise if it wasn’t so hard”. Or “I’m so exhausted, I barely have the energy to get through the day. I have nothing left to spare on exercise”.
