Slim Down with Soup

Fiber it up

A diet high in fiber is satisfying and curbs your hunger. One easy and effective way to include it in your diet is to dine on something that may already be in your cupboard – and that’s none other than soup.

Often containing about 100 calories per serving, soup is healthy and usually packed with plenty of vegetables and fiber. This helps you fill more satisfied than less healthy foods, and keeps you from consuming too many calories overall.

Here’s the skinny on how you can slim down with soup:

  • Go for the low-fat and low-sodium version to make it extra healthy.
  • Add beans, lentils, additional veggies or tofu to create a more fulfilling meal.
  • Steer away from creamy soups and head straight to the broth-based ones.
  • Try a fiber-packed bowl of soup before a meal to prevent overeating.
  • Can’t find the right soup to satisfy your hunger and taste buds? Make your own healthy homemade version.

Fewer Carbs Lower Blood Pressure

Author: Oksana Aron, MD Source: Weight Loss NYC Feb 15, 2010

Kick it to the Carb

A low-carb diet can fight fat. Eating fewer carbohydrates can also lower your blood pressure — and it can be even more effective than weight loss drugs.

This research from Veterans Affairs Medical Center and Duke University Medical Center demonstrated that it’s very possible to get the same results without weight loss drugs, and without risk of potential side effects or extra cost.

The news also comes as a major benefit to those with hypertension that are trying to shed pounds. 146 overweight individuals involved in the study were broken into two groups: one that followed a low-carb diet and another that took orlistat while on a low-fat diet. 47% in the low-carb group had their blood pressure medication decreased or discontinued, while 21% of the low-fat, orlistat group had to reduce their medication.

New Obesity Health Risk

Author: Oksana Aron, MD Source: Weight Loss NYC Jan 10, 2010

No Secret

Researchers uncovered a reason why obese people have a higher risk for health complications — a protein called pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) that is secreted by fat cells.

Research on mice shows that if some of PEDF’s action are blocked, it may reverse some complications for obese individuals and also opens up new drug opportunities.

PEDF is produced by fat cells in overweight people with higher levels of protein in the bloodstream. The protein can trigger insulin resistance, which can lead to type 2 diabetes in the bloodstream and liver and also increases risk for heart disease.

However, tests on the obese lab mice found that treatments that blocked PEDF’s action resulted in lowering blood fat level and reversed some of their insulin resistance. As the mice lost weight, their PEDF levels fell.

New Over-the-Counter Fastin is not what you think it is

Author: Oksana Aron, MD Source: Weight Loss NYC Jan 8, 2010
weight loss medication

Health Care Alert

We would like to bring your attention to a potentially deceptive product called Fastin that many of our patients were asking about.

Non-Prescription Form Not the Same Product

In the past, there was a prescription medication version of phentermine called "Fastin." This brand name drug was manufactured by King Pharmaceuticals. That specific prescription medicine was removed from the market by King in 1998 and is no longer available in the US.

Name Reused by Another Company

An over-the-counter supplement maker (Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals) has acquired the rights to the name only and is marketing its own version of Fastin in ways similar enough to confuse patients. It is important to know that this is not the same medication!

For more information, please discuss with the doctor on your next visit.

What's in Sugar?

Author: Oksana Aron, MD Source: Weight Loss NYC Dec 5, 2009

Shake it, Sugary

When you read food labels, a few grams don’t sound like much. But did you know that 4.2 grams of sugar equal 1 teaspoon? And one teaspoon of sugar contains 16.3 calories, which can add up.

White, refined sugar is high in calories and has no real nutritional value, yet it’s a main ingredient in a lot of the foods we love and crave. It can make your energy spike and drop throughout the day, but you can take charge of sugar ruling your diet.

Reduce Sugar in your diet

  • Eat fresh fruits for a snack or dessert instead of treats made with processed sugar.
  • Add fruit to your meals instead of processed sugar.
  • Choose drinks and snacks wisely that have low or no sugar — and stick with small portions.
  • Watch out for sugar-free labels on foods with ingredients ending in -ose (which can be hidden sugar) or sugar alcohols like sorbitol, mannitol and xylitol that can be just as fattening as the sugared version.
