Suspecting tampering, the company responsibly pulled Alli for weight loss from store shelves.

In recognition of February's heart health campaigns, Diet Doc is proud to help Americans reduce their risk of heart attack by teaching them how to eat healthy and live longer by losing dangerous excess fat. Their doctor-designed and medically supervised weight loss programs help patients reduce visceral fat, leading to a reversal of many of the metabolic risk factors, including high blood pressure, glucose intolerance and elevated cholesterol, associated with heart disease. Visceral fat, the most dangerous form of fat, accumulates around the internal organs, ultimately rearing its ugly face in the form of spare tires or love handles in the abdomen. Because of the impact that visceral fat has on the heart, if left unattended, many more people will expose themselves to a higher risk of heart disease and heart attack.

Because Diet Doc is committed to helping those of all shapes, sizes and geographic locations improve their health through safe and fast weight loss, they continue to strive to offer weight loss programs that are motivational and easy to follow. They understand that planning meals that are low in carbohydrates and calories, while still supplying the body with sufficient fuel to keep it operating at maximal capacity, can be challenging and time consuming for some patients. For this reason, they have now incorporated their healthy, nutritious and delicious, 100% organic, gluten free, home delivery diet foods to their already successful weight loss programs. Now, patients can easily and effortlessly order their home delivery diet foods via the phone or internet for direct delivery to their home. And, because the gluten free home delivery diet foods are packaged safely and securely in refrigerated coolers, there is no need to worry or wait for the delivery truck. Featuring a wide selection of tempting gluten free meal choices and priced to fit comfortably into almost any budget, Diet Doc clients can stick to their weight loss goals without confusion and enjoy their new gluten free home delivery diet foods for a mere $8.50 per meal.

According to the FDA, a drug typically used to treat ADHD, can now be used for those who suffer from food addictions and, specifically, binge eating. Vyvanse, a Schedule II controlled substance, is now thought to be effective in helping binge eaters overcome their eating disorder. Although Vyvanse is not approved for weight loss, doctors may prescribe this drug as they see fit for patients who are characterized by their binge eating habit. Because Vyvanse reportedly has a high potential for abuse and dependence, NBC's diet and nutrition editor, Madelyn Fernstrom, says, "the concern is that those desperate to lose weight will use the binge eating excuse for their weight gain simply to obtain a prescription for, yet another, controlled substance that can lead to more drug abuse in the country".

Many people who feel that they have explored every avenue for losing dangerous and embarrassing excess fat, simply resign themselves to living a life of obesity, while many others turn to weight loss gimmicks and promises of overnight weight loss miracles. This is the market that dishonest and deceptive weight loss companies target via the internet.

Thousands of people across the country are searching for the best diet plan – the method of weight loss that will safely and quickly rid them of unhealthy, unwanted and embarrassing excess fat. After numerous failed weight loss attempts, many desperate dieters will simply give up. In their effort to continue to help everyone enjoy their life free of the burden of excess fat, Diet Doc has compiled a list of reasons why most diets do not work.

Figuring out how to lose 20 pounds seems like a simple task. However, dieting and successful weight loss are extremely challenging for most people. This is because there is such a huge gap between WANTING to lose 20 pounds and understanding HOW to lose 20 pounds. Losing the first 5 pounds is usually easy and happens fast for most people. Tackling the next 15 pounds is the tricky part. It requires crucial changes in the body's metabolism and physiology. From neurotransmitters in the brain that control appetite to hormones released in the gut to fat cells which alter physiologic processes, the mechanisms required to lose significant amounts of excess fat can be challenging.

Many times, men and women who diet together results in one partner becoming frustrated and discouraged because their counterpart is celebrating faster weight loss success. Understanding the differences in physiology between the two sexes can go a long way in resolving potential conflict between couples who diet together.

Many people believe that exposure to cold temperatures during the winter months leads to weight loss by increasing heat production, or thermogenesis, in the body. Others believe that the accumulation of extra fat during the winter is the body's way of protecting it by developing an "extra layer" for warmth. Neither of these myths are entirely true.

According to the recent Gallup-Healthways Wellbeing Index, Americans are getting fatter. The percentage of obese adults is up by more than 2 percent with trends rising in 2014 to 27.7%. Gallup-Healthways reports that this is the highest obesity rate measured in America during the past 7 years. Trends show that Americans who were previously ranked as being overweight have now moved into the obesity category. Surprisingly, Americans aged 65 and older have seen the sharpest incline, rising 4%, followed by the 45 to 64 age group, Midwestern Americans and, finally, women in general. The report states that, while it is well-known that obesity is associated with physical health problems, it is also linked to other elements of well-being and is linked closely to those who earn lower incomes.
