Fad dieting has become so entrenched in US culture that it is seen by many as a normal part of daily life. It has become almost chic to be on the latest fad diet. Fad dieting has become so common place that it has actually created its own $61 billion industry. But is Yo-Yo or fad dieting really safe or is it a sign of a more serious issue? When we hear the word eating disorder, we immediately think of anorexia and bulimia. But did you know that perpetual dieting can be considered an eating disorder?</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
According to Psychology Today, people who diet are eight times as likely to develop an eating disorder as people who don't diet. Dieting is like a gateway drug that can trap someone in a vicious cycle of eating disorders which can take years to overcome. In fact, studies show that 35% of "normal dieters" progress to pathological dieting. Of those, 25% progress to partial or full-syndrome eating disorders. This suggests that fad dieting is indeed a type of eating disorder.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
As the research suggests, fad dieting can progress to other types of eating disorders as well. Approximately 10 million women and one million men in the United States struggle with anorexia and bulimia. There are another 25 million who suffer from binge-eating disorder. There is an epidemic of eating disorders in our country that is causing more serious effects than being overweight may cause. According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD), almost 50% of people with eating disorders meet the criteria for depression. Below are more statistics from ANAD related to fad dieting and eating disorders. Unfortunately fad dieting is starting to negatively affect girls at a younger age as the research shows:</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
• 95% of all dieters will regain their lost weight within 5 years.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
• Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
• Over 50% of teenage girls use unhealthy weight control behaviors such as skipping meals, fasting, smoking cigarettes, vomiting, and taking laxatives.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
• 47% of girls in 5th-12th grade want to lose weight because of magazine pictures.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
• 42% of 1st-3rd grade girls want to be thinner.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
• 81% of 10 year olds are afraid of being fat.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
These statistics show that fad dieting is a real problem and only getting worse as girls feel the pressure to be thin at earlier ages. Has our culture digressed so far that nearly half of 1st grade girls worry about being thinner? These statistics show how fad dieting can lead to other eating disorders which may lead to depression and even death. Fad dieting is a serious issue with serious consequences.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
When you are on a diet, are you really focused on optimal health? Or are you only focused on the weight loss? Do you jump from diet to diet? Do you let your dieting and weight control your life? Then it's likely that you are a fad dieter. If you aren't sure whether or not you are engaging in fad (pathological) dieting, here are some elements taken from Scared Skinny No More, which will allow you to see the difference between healthy eating and fad dieting (eating disorders).</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
• A healthy diet is focused on healthy weight loss. An eating disorder (fad diet) is an unhealthy way to lose weight.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
• A healthy diet makes your body stronger. An eating disorder (fad diet) makes the body weaker and can cause numerous health complications.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
• A healthy diet can be enjoyable and still allows one to live life. An eating disorder (fad diet) is not enjoyable and takes over a person's life.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
• A healthy diet is about helping yourself become healthier and stronger. An eating disorder (fad diet) focuses on what others think of you and draws attention for the wrong reasons.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
• A healthy diet affects one's health and choice of foods. An eating disorder (fad diet) affects every aspect of your life.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Fad diets are not a quick fix and will never get you fit. The most effective way to control weight is to eat healthy natural foods. Diet foods and processed foods in general are not healthy choices. In fact before the prevalence of processed foods in the 1980's, the obesity rate was slightly less than 10 percent, yet today the rate is over 30 percent. What was the major difference in eating before 1980's and now? Before the 1980's, people ate natural foods. They rarely ate foods that were processed, mainly because very few existed, yet there were over 20,000 food products, including health and diet food products, introduced to the US market in 2010 alone.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
So, eat healthy natural foods. The answer may sound simple, but in a processed food product culture it is not always so simple. You have to make a conscious effort to change how and what you eat, or you will fall right back into the processed food trap.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Here are a few tips and strategies that I recommend to change your eating habits in six weeks, so that you can be fit regardless of your body shape or your age. Six weeks is the amount of time we have found that is optimal for creating new habits. While a lifestyle change also needs to include regular exercise, a healthy diet is one of the major factors in weight control and overall health. These strategies will help you focus on eating for your health.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
• Start every morning by drinking 8-10 oz of cold water. Not only are you typically dehydrated after sleeping all night, but this will "wake" the body up and get the chemical reactions going.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
• Don't skip breakfast and make sure to eat protein.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
• Include a quality source of protein with every meal and snack.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
• Consume beans, and fibrous carbs, such as broccoli, squash, zucchini, and peppers & limit fruit intake.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
• Make sure to include foods that are good Omega 3 sources (wild salmon, halibut, avocados, nuts, Macadamia oil) as these help burn more of your body fat.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
• Avoid: Processed foods, and refined carbs such as white bread, pasta and rice that are low in fat and spike blood sugar.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
• Plan your menu at the beginning of the week to ensure good food choices. Cut up veggies to store in containers for the week.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Eating healthy is not about cutting out certain nutrients, or following some crazy meal plan. Fad diets create a sense of desperation and despair. With a nearly 100 % failure rate, it's no wonder that fad dieting often progresses to pathological dieting and other eating disorders. It is time to change the fad dieting insanity and reverse the trend that is now affecting even our young children at an alarming rate. Ditch the diets, throw away the processed foods, and begin to eat for your health. Let today be a new beginning for you and your family. Focus on eating real natural foods that will actually help you look and feel fit!</div>

Improving Your Body Image With Post-Bariatric Surgery

Obesity and its challenges affect the lives of Americans daily. The CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) estimates that more than one-third (35.7%) of the U.S. population's adults are obese. Obesity does not only affect an individual's weight but their entire well-being with obesity-related conditions such as heart disease, stroke, type-2 diabetes and certain types of cancer. This epidemic certainly explains the explosion of the different methods of weight loss support; chief among them, the utilization of bariatric surgery. There are around 220,000 bariatric procedures performed annually in the United States alone. This number has been steady for quite some time with a very high likelihood of increasing in upcoming years as obesity increases as well.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The healthcare system has been very successful in implementing psychological support for these patients both pre- and postoperatively. In fact, the success of these programs is not only based on weight loss but also on maintenance of the target weight post-surgery. Maintenance of target weight cannot be achieved without the bariatric team, mainly dietitians, psychologists and supportive paramedical personnel. Unfortunately, little emphasis has been placed on the mental and physical impact of redundant skin due to massive weight loss and bariatric surgery. This fact is not taken into account for the success of any program and, therefore, it is not given its due importance on the follow up of bariatric patients.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Bariatric surgery provides advanced weight-loss for patients, reducing the chance of contracting obesity-related diseases though many patients continue to suffer from a poor body image. The massive weight loss creates unsightly deformities in the form of extra skin that can cause impairment on physical mobilization, sexual health and personal hygiene. This should not be underestimated. Some patients have tried to improve those deformities by "filling up" the redundant skin in the form of weight gain, a conduct that defies the original idea of submitting to bariatric surgery. The patients need to know that there is hope for the situation and that plastic surgery can alleviate or substantially improve the undesirable effects after bariatric surgery. We strongly believe in bariatric surgery on morbidly obese patients and also believe that we as plastic surgeons can deliver an important improvement on an individual's ultimate well-being.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The most common areas subject to plastic surgery procedures are the abdomen, thighs and buttocks. These areas are very susceptible to treatment with a combination of liposuction and body lifting procedures. When the face and the neck are involved, the surgical corrections follow the same principle of lifting/tightening the skin and subdermal tissues. Mastopexy, or breast lift, is also a very common procedure as patients almost universally complain of ptosis and atrophy of the mammary tissue.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
We must remember that plastic surgery is defined by achieving harmony between the physical and mental aspects of the patients. After bariatric procedures, in a way, that harmony is lost. There are two ways to correct this: going back to their old self, or adjusting the skin volume to the new body habitus. Plastic Surgery does just that, reshaping the outside to reflect the new inside, additionally, reaffirming the new body image which is, in fact, the new self of the patient. Like in life, "we must achieve the balance... "</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Of course, expectations need to be defined before embarking on this new journey. At times skin tone is lost and standards change. Both the patient and the surgeon need to believe that a defined procedure will bring the best cosmetic and functional result for the patient. Unrealistic expectations create the perfect recipe for failure but this is not news to the patient. When bariatric surgeons were surveyed about the interaction with patients, 64% declared that patients had many questions about reconstructive procedures even before the actual bariatric surgery. Unfortunately only 7% were referred to a plastic surgeon. This mission has been taken by the bariatric team and we can happily report that they are willing to consider such referral based on the same beliefs that they can improve their patients' lives even further. In the end, most bariatric surgeons also believe that patients submitted to body contouring procedures are more satisfied to have undertaken bariatric surgery in the first place. Some patients blame the lack of interest in plastic surgery due to unawareness of its benefits and how this discipline can improve body deformities.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
We think that both physicians and the nursing team should be open to discuss issues of self-image and expectations. Shyness and/or unawareness are not healthy emotions to experience after massive weight loss and we have a very good opportunity to modify such behavior. Plastic surgery is the last step in the complete recovery for some patients. Every individual involved, from the patient to the physician, nurses to the plastic surgeon, must be engaged from start to finish leading the patient to the ultimate goal; being happy with their new body image.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Each patient is treated on an individualized basis; some require one set of procedures while some require multiple. We can combine liposuction with breast/abdominal procedures and then if the patient desires arms, thigh and face lifts can be discussed for a second stage. The goal of each patient is unique, each has different conditions and they also have their own priorities for their improvement. It is for the plastic surgeon to discover with the patient what those priorities are and to accompany the patient on their journey with the utmost compassion and outstanding medical care.</div>
