Although Cancer Awareness Month is drawing to a close, Diet Doc continues to stress the importance of following a healthy diet and maintaining a healthy, manageable weight in order to stay more active, live longer and prevent a host of weight-related diseases and conditions and reduce their breast cancer risk.

People decide for a variety of reasons to lose excess weight. Some simply need to lose a few pounds to fit more comfortably into their wardrobe without disguising belly fat and love handles while others realize that carrying excess weight can be dangerous and want to improve their health. Whatever the reason, losing just a few pounds is beneficial for, not only one's physical health, but emotional health and self-confidence, as well. And, while most people begin their fast-weight-loss journey with the best intentions, they quickly become discouraged because the weight loss almost always tapers. This is because, while almost any low carbohydrate, low calorie diet will generate fast weight loss, the body becomes accustomed to the new eating habits and the metabolism adjusts to the restricted caloric intake and begins burning fat more slowly until finally weight loss comes to an abrupt halt. This is the point where most dieters simply throw in the towel and resign themselves to carrying this extra fat burden forever.

February, Cancer Awareness Month, is a great time to focus on the effects that being overweight carries on the body and how to lose excess fat. It is well known that obesity is associated with an increased risk for heart attack and stroke, but many people do not recognize its risk for certain types of cancer. Esophagus, pancreatic, colon, rectal, breast, kidney and gallbladder cancers are just a few of the organs that excess fat can threaten. And, while there are many factors that can influence cancer's growth that are out of one's control, those who carry excess fat ARE in control and can lose excess fat to reduce their cancer risk.

It is well known that excess belly fat is embarrassing, but many people do not really grasp the unspoken dangers for those who carry excess belly fat. While most people do tend to gain a few pounds over the years, the real danger begins when this excess fat is left unattended. Suddenly people are realizing that the fat has gotten out of control, they feel tired and sluggish and diet after diet fails to melt the dangerous belly fat that has been left to its own means.

Diet Doc has taken medical weight loss a step further by now incorporating a dedicated and caring support team composed of doctors, nurses, nutritionists and coaches, who are available and eager to help their patients through the challenges and hurdles of making their most important lifestyle change and losing unwanted, dangerous and embarrassing excess fat.

More than 55 million Americans suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or IBS, a condition that affects the large intestine. Symptoms usually occur after a meal and can include abdominal pain, bloating and altering constipation and diarrhea. While IBS is a long term, chronic disease, patients can prevent flare-ups by controlling their diet. Because one of the most common causes of an IBS flare-up is thought to be gluten, the protein that is prevalent in almost all processed foods, Diet Doc developed their specialized gluten free diet plans that help their clients control IBS symptoms.

Diet Doc's newly advanced diet plans have been redesigned to specifically target, attack and eliminate excess body fat in the hard to reach areas, such as the belly, hips, thighs, underarms and buttocks. The advanced no carb diet plans are by far the company's most effective to date, offering their patients a safe and natural solution to produce fast weight loss initially, along with guidance and education to ensure long term weight loss.

Some people feel that their final option to rid themselves of dangerous, embarrassing and unwanted excess fat is to resort to weight loss surgery. Many others have turned to Diet Doc and have successfully, safely and rapidly lost stubborn fat without going under the knife.

When Diet Doc developed their weight loss programs, they realized that the key to lasting weight loss included intense and thorough education on the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Especially during Cancer Awareness Month, when people are hearing more and more about various causes of cancer, it is imperative to highlight the link between obesity, weight loss and how to reduce the risk of cancer.
