This may not match your weight loss images about surgery. And that is okay. In this case it could even be a good thing.

This is because there is a new, less invasive alternative to traditional weight loss surgeries. It could mean a less pain, no gain, and a significantly shorter down time from surgery.

Patients who need to lose weight are at the heart of the new clinical trial being conducted by researchers at the University of California, San Diego Medical Center. are conducting a new clinical trial for patients who need to lose weight. It’s called the Pose Trial, and it stands for Primary Obesity Surgery Endolumenal.

This particular surgery technique they are performing is like other weight loss surgery methods in that the purpose is to make the stomach smaller. However, with this surgical procedure, doctors do not need to make an incision. The entire procedure is done endoscopically. The surgeon carefully places an endoscope down your throat in order to conduct the complete procedure. Upon entering your stomach, the endoscope then sutures the top part. This works on the section of the stomach that stretches the most and takes away its ability to stretch.

The result is more than a smaller tummy in your weight loss photos. It actually makes your stomach smaller by roughly one-third. Your newly reduced stomach size is designed to help you feel fuller sooner and be less likely to overeat in the future.

You can have this one-hour procedure performed on an outpatient basis. The Pose Clinical Trial  is first being tested on patients who meet certain criteria. They either need to lose between 30 and 50 pounds, have a BMI of 28 to 33, and have a history of being overweight or obese for two or more years.

For 30 years he ripped off people who wanted to shave off pounds. This morning, he’ll wake up eating prison food. Too bad he only got 20 years for it.

Frank Sarcona, 58, of Boca Raton, Florida cheated weight loss hopefuls out of tens of millions by painting amazing weight loss pictures in their minds about the bogus miracle pills he told them would help to lose weight effortlessly.

Judges across the country ordered Sarcona to stop, but he closed down one business and open another using screaming too good to be true ads like you see every day. One of his was, “Amazing Fat-Fighting Super Pill Devours Fat!” Another claimed, “Blast Up To 49 Pounds Off You In Only 29 Days!”

In sentencing Sarcona yesterday, U.S. District Judge Kenneth Marra said, “The number of victims in this case is astronomical. They got a product but they don’t have a product that I think is worth anything.”

A defiant Sarcona wearing his jailhouse blues admitted no wrongdoing to the judge in claiming, “People like me champion dietary supplements. Everything I’ve done, I’ve done with the intent to help, not to defraud. I believe in the products I sell.”

One of the most successful tainted weight loss pictures Sarcona used to cheat people was “Nature’s Fighting Secret.” His ads said this pill, “Stops Hunger, Increases Energy And Prevents Fat Calories From Being Absorbed Into Your Body!” Sarcona created The Lipoban Clinic to dupe people with ads featuring a Mexican doctor who wasn’t even licensed in the United States. He lured people into believing they would be part of a clinical study.

Amazingly, this weight loss scam began while Sarcona acknowledged in court that he defrauded the public with his SlimAmerica scam. This doozy featured ads using a doctor who was in a nursing home suffering from dementia.

This one Cook earns more than most restaurants. And millions of people will notice his weight loss success. You see, this Cook does not work in a hot kitchen. He works on a frying pan called a pitcher’s mound.

Aaron Cook looks healthy as he begins Colorado Rockies Spring Training camp not far from my home in Arizona.  At 31-years old, he is the ace of the pitching staff that hopes to make the playoffs for the third time in four years. This means a heavy duty burden of living up to his fat $9 million salary this season.

So this Cook is leading by example. He has shown up in the best shape of his career. Since the Rockies’ season ended in October, he lost 20 pounds and now weighs 200. For Aaron, he threw three fastballs as strikes to lose weight. He cut down on drinking cans of soda. He cut down on the size of the portions he ate. And he avoided eating late at night.  

In 2008, Cook started the season in good shape and was named an All Star. This year, he hopes his weight loss not only shows a more intimidating physique to batters, but gives him more energy, helps him avoid back pain, and takes weight off his legs preventing more injuries.

For Aaron Cook, losing weight was about gaining an edge over hitters. He and the Colorado Rockies have been close to winning a World Series, but have not done it. He is not taking his chances lightly. Instead of simply relying on his sinkerball pitch that drops over the plate like a rock, Aaron Cook wisely dropped a few pounds in order to feel healthier and stronger both physically and mentally. Now that is one home run weight loss picture.

Be careful. This fast weight loss post could get messy.  : )

Don’t be deceived by the title. We’re not talking about moving a box of chocolates like Tom Hanks did throughout the movie, “Forrest Gump.”

I’m offering a fast weight loss tip on something I’ve been using for a couple of months. And it works for me. Chocolate Smooth Move from Traditional Medicinals is a Caffeine Free Herbal Tea that is an herbal Stimulant Laxative. 

It is made with Organic Senna Leaf which is said to promote bowel movement by direct action on the intestine. All you do is drink one cup of hot tea for an effective dose of sennosides from the senna leaf and it will generally produce bowel movements in 6 to 12 hours.

I’ve noticed it usually produces results in less than 6 hours. So, I don’t suggest drinking Chocolate Smooth Move before heading out to a party or hot date..for obvious reasons. The company advises to drink a cup before bedtime.

A box of 16 Chocolate Smooth Move tea bags costs under $5.00 and is probably available in your favorite supermarket. It tastes okay. My only wish is that it had even more of a chocolate flavor. Oh well. It’s more about moving the chocolate than tasting it.

Gotta run now…if you know what I mean, Now, there’s a weight loss picture for you to imagine.  Best wishes to you in your weight loss.

As a boy, I regularly watched the TV show, “Speed Racer.” What does that have to do with weight loss? Well, unfortunately, I’ve eaten like Speed Racer my entire life. I’m a fast eater. The hungrier I am or the more delicious the food looks, the faster I scarf..the faster I devour. Notice I didn’t mention chewing faster. The fact is I often eat so fast I don’t chew enough and wind up with the hiccups or my body just forces me to slow down. If you do this too, here’s a new incentive to slow down and maybe lose weight by doing it.

A new study from researchers in Greece reveals that if and when you eat slowly, it can boost the healthy levels of a pair of hormones that can make you feel full. The researchers took blood samples from people who took 30 minutes to eat and compared those with people who took 5 minutes to eat the same thing. They concluded that if you take longer to eat, your small intestine may make more of these two hormones for a longer period of time. Thus, you can lose weight by eating slowly because it makes you feel more full.

Now if only we could master that other lesson about eating one thing and then waiting 15 minutes to see if we’re still hungry, right?

Painting the Ultimate Weight Loss Picture

The First Lady wants to lose weight. She wants to lose a lot of weight. We’re not talking 10, 20, or 50 pounds. Michelle Obama has a weight loss goal that’s bigger than you and everyone you know. She wants to lose billions of pounds of  fat.

You’ve seen pictures of Michelle Obama. She’s in great physical shape, perhaps even better than the president himself. So, she’s the last person you’d expect to read about on a website named weight loss pictures.org, right?

Michelle Obama has the body she wants. Her plan and goal is to help children across America to lose weight. There is a real need behind her wanting to launch this widespread weight loss movement. The important health statistics she’s using today are staggering. Fact: 1 in 3 children in the United States are obese. Fact: The country spends $150 billion a year in treating obesity related health problems.

Mrs. Obama’s new nationwide campaign is called, “Let’s Move.” Her weight loss picture shows a plan where kids do not spend every waking hour sitting in front of the TV or texting or playing video games. Her goal is to motivate and inspire kids and the adults in their lives to be active, and to make  many other healthy choices.

She spoke of “food deserts,” not desserts, but deserts. She was referring to the many Americans who live in remote areas that are outside the range of fresh foods. One of her goals is to help these people lose weight by having better and more affordable access to healthy, fresh foods.

Mrs. Obama says understands there are people who say government shouldn’t tell people what to do because everyone has the right to personal choices. She actually says,”I agree with them.” But this isn’t government. This is a First Lady doing what First Ladies have the opportunity and platform to do…make a difference on issues that can help Americans who need it.

Obese kids need help. And it’s a segment of the population that is gaining weight and size every day. Think about all of the kids who wake up every morning feeling trapped in their own body. They don’t like to look in the mirror or be seen by other people. They don’t like to go to school because other kids make fun of them, look at them funny, or don’t want to be friends with them simply because they are obese. Wouldn’t it be great to help these kids become happier and healthier now?

Who cares about Republicans, Democrats, conservatives or liberals? This is about someone painting a weight loss picture for those who can’t see one or who aren’t looking at one. This is about drawing attention to helping kids who can’t or don’t know how to help themselves to lose weight.

There are plenty of “Fat Cats” in Washington, D.C. And then there’s Michelle Obama. With the campaign “Let’s Move,” she admits, “Our goal is ambitious. We want to eliminate this problem in a generation.” Now wouldn’t that be a motivational metamorphosis and weight loss success story for the ages?
