Food addiction: effective treatment

Obesity can be termed " chronic poisoning with calories ." In this context, hospital treatment means significantly weight loss and maintenance of the results.

Data provided by Prof. Dr. Ricardo Chiosso (MP 13766 ) , Medical Director Diquecito Sanitarium .

 "Obesity is a disease difficult to treat , requiring long-term treatment , the development and maintenance of lifelong healthy habits. "
 " The consumption of foods which are very tasty and enjoyable have an effect similar to the drug abuse. These " food - drug " , a term that gained importance in the medical community over the past 10 years , a key element for consideration in the become elaboration of a treatment for obesity, due to its high impact on the brain " .
" ( Lost to those who control over alcohol and other drugs ) If at specific receptors in the brain of patients addicted to certain substances , the differences are not significant compared to those who suffer from the abuse of food intake ."
" In this regard, obesity is a chronic disease and produced as a result of the addiction, the food , the failure rate is very high. "
" The medical approach to a disease, a food addiction involves and requires a profound change in the habits , six essential elements are needed to get results over time to reach: eating right , physical activity, psychotherapy (individual / group) , drug therapy , surgery and hospital stays, in the time and opportunity that each patient needs in each , and always keeping in mind that the best strategy is the sum of the applied strategies.
" These weight loss strategies should also be a program of low-calorie foods , healthy lifestyle changes , individual service, reduction in calories and fat, regular physical activity , frequent contact with the patient and medications ( in some cases) , if framed in a treatment program at different customs. "
Benefits of internment
Given the complexity of the treatment, the hospital is an option with many advantages in pursuing the best results :

1) Minimize the desertion. The entrance to minimize the loss of weight causes the exit of the treatment , in comparison to the high risk of exit of outpatient treatment . Medical control of both nutritionally and psychologically , returns all the factors that threaten the continuity of the diet and thus the achievement of the objectives .

2 ) Reduces the associated diseases . The hospital is located in a remarkable clinical improvement of the conditions with obesity such as high blood pressure , associated gastrointestinal disorders, metabolic disorders such as hyperglycemia, severe joint pain (hip, knee and lumbar mostly) , sleep apnea and snoring , among others.

3) improve the approach to cases of " intractable obesity. " In these cases , ie patients who need to reduce their body mass and can not do on an outpatient basis , in order to maintain a low-fat diet to recommend physical activity without a stressful life , among other causes .

4) It provides more restraint to the patient. The placement is important as a means of restraint in situations of 'crisis of life. " The loss of loved ones, removal , migration of children and changes in working conditions , including stress situations are usually associated with a sudden increase in weight .

5 ) Improving the pre-and post-operative . The rapid weight loss product a placement in cases of preoperative recommended , for example, in trauma interventions (hip , knee, herniated disc ) , cardiovascular (bypass , angioplasty) , gastric and plastic products ( post- weight loss : repair and model). So there is a reduction of operational risks. It is also the ideal setting to acquire the proper habits after surgery.

6) The preparation for surgery and better post- operative recovery . In the case of preoperative view of the laparoscopic surgery , causing lower weight and an improvement of the clinical conditions. In the case of post-operative , there is a reduction of the noise and the learning of diet therapy techniques apply to future patients .

7) Minimize the " plateau effect " in the context of a long-term outpatient treatment. The hospital promotes what is known as " phased progress" of weight loss. Used to eating behavior and physical activity to reinforce desirable. It takes an education for the prevention of relapses. Also educates patients in the setting of targets in short-term modules that are accessible .

Five Mistakes why diets fail

Text data provided by Dr. Ruben Salcedo (MP : 17 181 ) , Associate Medical Director Diquecito Sanatorium

• The aim instant weight loss and produce with minimal effort " The rapid growth of obesity in our country , have increased in recent years ¸ magic formulas " . This variety of options has implement confusion in many people about healthier nutrition practices to ensure effective results . "

• " This confusion has led thousands of people to homemade diets and how many of them unscientific, which eventually lead to frustration. "

• " It is important for the success of a diet very clear implementation of certain habits and eliminate the bad eating habits for weight loss . In other words, regardless of the name of the diet, there are very specific teachings , what should and should not happen when starting a weight loss process "

Five false paradigms the decrease
• In this context, there are at least five common paradigms , the enemies of the diet , as they lead the person to the frustration , and may fail due to lack of results . These are:

Error 1 : Longer time without food
"One of the most common mistakes of dieting is to try to stay the whole day without food. Thinking it this will not help them lose weight. It is a classic case of short to eat breakfast practically no lunch , afternoon tea and evening something nothing contains , is also kept as a diet. , we need to understand in this context that in the nutritional medicine are two very different sensations. hunger is unstoppable. appetite is clear, however, when a person is discriminated against , what do they eat and what not . , if you spend more than four hours without eating , the body begins to get hungry . 's why you should not spend more than four hours without eating.

Mistake 2: Thinking that physical activity is enough to lose weight
" Another common mistake is to believe that is to be active enough to lose weight. There are people who work out one or two hours a day and end up eating a few fried empanadas. Course, physical activity plays an important role in any process of weight loss , but for this to happen , it must be accompanied with an appropriate meal plan . "

Error 3: misinformation about food and energy intake
" Another common mistake is to assume misinformation or mistaken things , if you think about what to eat and what not . It is very common when starting a diet , for example, not to eat bread, and instead of cookies, where these have a lot more calories . , the truth is that French bread has 270 calories per 100 grams. while the same amount of "diet" cookies has 400 . "

Error 4 : belief that the Light food " inevitably lead to losing weight
" Another common mistake to misuse of dietetic foods and ignore your calorie level. It is common , for example , replace a common yogurt for three low-fat yogurt in the day. The fat is 40 to 50 percent fewer calories than the average but by the abuse , the amount is about adding more calories. If, as a dietary food instead of the usual , I will have produced a saving of calories , but if I increase the share will ultimately eat more . For the mayonnaise Another very typical: 100 g mayonnaise are regularly So if diet or tripled doubled with 730 calories, while the same amount of calorie mayonnaise has between 360 and 400 , the share actually after adding more calories , or minimally no compromise nothing .

Error 5: To lose weight , the quality is important, not the quantity
"It's come and ask for patients in the office : Doctor , give me a diet to lose weight, but one that allows me to eat a lot Unfortunately this is not possible , because with the exception of water , other has everything more . or less calories. order , we can illustrate this in the case of patients who are vegetarians , but can not lose weight. It happens that , while plants have very few calories , you can exaggerated in the crowd. for example, what happens with the cows ( with the exception of your digestive system , which has its differences) , eat vegetables but are thick. It is important that the patient 's eating habits is regulated so that he does not eat much .

The risks of uncontrolled diet
• " The diet without professional supervision can have an extremely negative effect on the body , because , as we have mentioned above, in general, people have the wrong paradigm on healthy eating . For example, it is assumed that the diet of the four P (no bread, no pasta, no dessert and no potatoes ) is effective . However, this diet is totally false because , for example, potatoes are a dietary food if consumed properly. the boiled potatoes have 80 calories per 100 grams, while the same amount beef fillet has up to 120 calories.

• " In addition to the false paradigm , is another danger of dieting without professional supervision that there is an imbalance of nutrients that cause very negative consequences for the organism . A clear example is the famous" dissociated diet. " Also, just to eat vegetables is very dangerous , because there is then a diet low in iron and protein of high biological value . When this happens , the person begins to be malnourished. "

Green smoothies

One day in the 1990s, noted Leonardo Red that it not at all well paced her family : obesity and various chronic diseases accounted Victoria, her husband and their two children hard to create . The conclusion of the Doctors: Medicine can not help it. Leonardo decided that it was time for radical action and put the whole family on a raw food diet ado . The diet helped the health of all improved significantly . Eventually, however, the raw kitchen Leonardo's family was too boring. Then the Green smoothies came into play ...

Green Smoothies - Gone to the monkeys

Leonardo Red is regarded by many as the inventor of the Green Smoothies , but at least it seems quite clear that they made ​​known the green drinks. Inspired to Green Smoothies she was of mountain gorillas : In whose diet green leaves play an important role and they are the people related genetically very close. Also, they are very rarely sick. Leonardo Red: The monkeys are doing something right . And in fact - the gentle giants combine with sweet fruit preference to the more bitter leaves. However , the human stomach hard time trying to digest raw green leafy vegetables in large quantities , because these vegetables have very hard and tough cell walls that can quickly lead to stomach rumbling excessive consumption . Here the blender came into play . The Green smoothies were born.

Green Smoothies - What 's this all about ?

What started as something freakish idea of a Russian immigrant U.S. , has become a real lifestyle - actually speak sworn members of the scene from "Green Smoothie Lifestyle" .

Another pro to the list of Green smoothies are also the vitamins , minerals and fiber , and amino acids that are contained in the vegetable - fruit cocktails : Thanks to a fresh preparation without heat they remain almost fully intact .

Green smoothies make itself

The beauty of this trend : You can view the smoothies easy at home do it yourself - and let even your imagination run free ! For the preparation you need is a standard blender , which , however, should definitely have a 750 watts of power. However sworn Smoothianer swear on professional equipment . It is important to prepare the green smoothies always fresh - they are too long in the refrigerator , they lose their vitamins. 24 hours straight survive the smoothies but quite : you can you so easily the night before a Green Smoothie for the work to prepare . It also makes sense , ingredients from organic farming to use because you unprocessed vegetables and fruits will receive in this case. In the preparation of Green Smoothies you should by the way , like while cooking , take it step by step so your smoothie is not just a green slurry is : First, the green leafy vegetables come in a blender and puree , then crisper fruit , soft fruit you like bananas you add at the end. But what ingredients are actually for green smoothies ?

Vegetables for green smoothies

- Chives , leek , wild garlic and Ackerl also are stronger in taste and are well suited to lukewarm smoothie Soups ( never above 42 ° C!)
- Herbs and wild salads such as basil , parsley , plantain , sorrel, red clover , dandelion , watercress and nettle
- Vegetables such as spinach (you can also use frozen spinach ) , chard , kale , cucumber and avocado

You can combine these vegetables with all kinds of fruit , you come to mind - to get you started initially recommends a mixing ratio of 30 to 70 , ie 30 % green vegetables and 70% fruit . Are beautiful sweet bananas and mangoes, orange juice adds extra freshness. Overall, the 60-40 rule , six portions of fruit applies to four parts of vegetables. Particularly hard-boiled Green Smoothies fans mix but also half and half - as so often is the matter of taste. By the way: If you want to lose weight should not forget that Green smoothies are not intended as a beverage, but as a meal .

Extreme Green Smoothing

For dieters to - furious Green smoothies offer a wide field : You can replace or enjoy Green smoothies every day for example, individual meals with a Green Smoothie . Or, as it might be with a Green Smoothie Challenge ? During a certain period of time ( three to 20 days) you feed you exclusively by Green Smoothies and raw vegetable sticks . This is, however , we admit it , only for true fans of the green drinks ...
