Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 13, 2011

Diet Doc has revolutionized weight loss by combining four of the best diet programs into one program that they then customize and analyze for each person individually. They report that they take into consideration every person?s health condition, risk factors, lifestyle preference, age and gender. Dr. Rao, medical director of Diet Doc hCG Diet and Weight Loss reports everyone does not fit into one template for weight loss, this is how people are able to realize their maximum daily weight loss, which averages one pound per day, states Dr. Rao.

Diet Doc explains that they understand it can be confusing when choosing a diet as many fad diets claim success. The Fat Joe Diet, Jonah Hill Diet, Reboot Diet, Esselstyn Diet, Patti Stanger Diet are the most recent fade diet, the list goes on. Dr. Rao reports that these type of diets are not diet supervised weight loss programs, therefore, why choose a diet program that doesn’t involve a doctor?

Diet Doc is providing dieters with a free bottle of hCG drops when participating in their doctor supervised weight loss plan (minimum of two weeks participation). The hCG drops are good for maintenance, once the weight loss is achieved.

Diet Doc took the original 1950 Dr. Simeons hCG protocol and applied clinical and nutritional standards for the present day (2011). The Diet Doctors found it?s not necessary to consume so few calories down to 500 calories per day as per the Simeons and Kevin Trudeau 1950 hCG diet protocol. This is the protocol where people take injections of human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg), a human hormone made by chorionic cells in the fetal part of the placenta during pregnancy reports Ms. Wright. Diet Doc trains doctors interested in a much safer hCG diet that allows people to consume more calories while losing their maximum amount per day.

Even Dr. Oz states than any doctor offering 500 calories per day is offering a diet that is unsafe. Diet Doc considers this starvation. The other doctors tell people that hCG releases 2,000 to 3,000 calories in people’s system from abnormal fat. Nobody can make this claim without a clinical trial proving otherwise. Diet Doc Doctors report to have made it their sole business to understand weight loss and the complexities involved with why people gain and lose weight. Medical weight loss could be its own specialty in medicine claims Wright.

Diet Doc offers their prescription, doctor supervised weight loss program for $ 240 per month. This includes weight loss shakes formulated by Diet Doc that are a weight loss program alone Wright. Also, an oil that is used to make salad dressing or for cooking that is clinically proven to help people burn fat within 30 minutes of consuming as well as unlimited clinical support 6 days per week. Most insurance companies reimburse for the majority of our Diet Doc program, but each dieter is encouraged to verify with their health insurance company reports Wright

*These weight reduction treatments include oral hCG or an injection of hCG?a drug, which has not been approved by the food and drug administration as safe and effective in the treatment of obesity or weight control. There is no substantial evidence that hCG increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or “normal” distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restrictive diets. Results may vary and cannot be guaranteed. Medical supervision and compliance with our program is required.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 07, 2011

Recently, Diet Doc conducted a survey of the top hCG weight loss programs offering medically, supervised doctor weight loss care. Diet Doc found there pricing structure is lower than any other clinic they surveyed.

Many doctors are getting into the diet business by offering the original 1950′s Dr. Simeons HCG diet which promises dieters they will lose 1 pound per day if they consume 500 calories per day while taking injections of human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg), a human hormone made by chorionic cells in the fetal part of the placenta during pregnancy reports Julie Wright, president of HCG Weight Loss.

The problem with offering 500 calories per day is this is literal starvation. We frequently have people coming to us on the 500 calories with hair loss, extreme fatigue and hunger reports Wright. Diet Doc does not support a 500 calorie per day diet, but modernized a 1950 HCG diet into one that is safe, and that rolls 4 medically, supervised weight loss programs into one overall program that is then further personalized for each person taking into consideration their health history, age, gender, lifestyle and preferences reports Dr. Rao, medical director of Diet Doc.

People are also unsure which diet works best, with various fad diets, such as the Fat Joe Diet, Jonah Hill Diet, Reboot Diet, Esselstyn Diet, JWOWW Weight Loss Diet, Carrie Fisher Diet, the list goes on and on. None of these diets listed are doctor supervised and none listed have medical research reports Wright.

One month of medication, weight loss shakes, cooking/salad dressing oil that is clinically proven to help dieters start burning fat within 30 minutes of consuming, along with the Diet Doc workbook outlining the modern-day version of the Diet Doc HCG diet and a cookbook, plus unlimited nurse, doctor and weight loss consultant support 6 days per week is only $ 240 reports Wright. Most insurance companies reimburse for the majority of our Diet Doc program reports Wright, but each dieter is encouraged to verify with their health insurance company reports Wright.

Doctors have repeatedly tried to offer this 1950 diet protocol within their own practice, but where do these doctors receive training on how to manage the original version of the hcg diet? They don’t reports Ms. Wright. Prospective dieters don’t understand that dieting is a complex medical issue which requires medical supervision from a physician highly trained in the field of diet and nutrition reports Wright. Add to this that doctors are charging an extraordinaire amount for this diet, well into the thousands of dollars reports Wright.

Diet Doc HCG Diet and Weight Loss also wants to make sure their comprehensive program remain affordable to dieters. We often hear people comment that our pricing model is half of what other doctors are charging reports Wright. This is because our mission is to help people lose weight, train them on what specific foods will cause a weight loss reaction in their body. This is how they keep the weight off long term reports Wright. If we can do our best with each person, then we have gained the trust of many. This is how we make up for charging much lower than others states Wright.

Diet Doc provides medically, supervised patient care to people across the USA. Their mission statement is to offer comprehensive, modern-day clinical and nutritionally sound weight loss services, which often uncover core reasons for dieters past failures. We provide a collaborative approach to dieting, which is labor intensive, but effective reports Wright. We work with a team of physicians who are passionate about reducing obesity which is often the cause for many diseases and illnesses reports Dr. Rao. Diet Doc is the only modern-day hCG diet in America today.

*These weight reduction treatments include oral hCG or an injection of hCG?a drug, which has not been approved by the food and drug administration as safe and effective in the treatment of obesity or weight control. There is no substantial evidence that hCG increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or “normal” distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restrictive diets. Results may vary and cannot be guaranteed. Medical supervision and compliance with our program is required.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) September 19, 2011

Diet Doc hCG Diet and Weight Loss announces a new weight maintenance hcg phase 3 diet. Each is as important as the other explains, Julie Wright, president of Diet Doc.

Diet Doc Phase 1: Dieters consume high fat, high calorie food to set their body up for success during the low calorie hcg diet program of phase 2.

Diet Doc Phase 2: Dieters go on a low calorie diet averaging 700 to 1000 calories per day on the hcg diet program. The Diet Doctor personalizes the hCG diet for each person and then rolls 4 diet plans into one master diet specific for each person. Diet Doc dieters report losing an average of 1 pound per day.

Phase 3: Weight maintenance program after the hCG Diet program. Diet Doc hCG Diet announces it’s proprietary Maintenance program that will help keep the weight off long term reports Wright.

Diet Doc Ph 3 Maintenance is when foods are brought back into the diet that were not allowed during the low calorie weight loss phase. Any spike in weight should be a red flag that those foods could result in weight gain. The dieter is then encouraged to reframe or limit these foods reports Wright.

Diet Doc hCG Diet often discovers the reason people failed on past diets. Extreme sensitivity to sugar is the primary cause states Ms. Wright. For those individuals, it’s often a case of their blood sugars being high from a weight loss perspective, reports Dr. Rao, Diet Doc medical director. This is a huge problem for many people. Once we eliminate the sugar, even fruit and tomatoes, the weight comes off at a rapid, safe rate, up to 1 pound per day reports Dr. Rao.

Weight loss is actually a complex medical condition which requires a doctors supervision who understands the mechanisms for weight loss reports Dr. Rao.
