a survey of obese individuals indicating their weight loss preferences. Survey findings of a group of Australian researchers were published in the journal BMC Public Health July 14, 2010. Researchers conducted a telephone survey including 142 obese individuals.
According to survey response:
1. Obese individuals prefer dieting programs that do not “shame” them into losing weight or “judge” them for their obesity.
2. Dieting programs that employed “scare tactics” to inspire weight loss were seen as “scams.”
3. Many survey participants said that they would turn to commercial dieting techniques and programs in order to lose weight, but many also said they prefer public health interventions because they seemed particularly non-judgmental and non-stigmatizing.
4. Obese individuals indicated that they preferred methods that focused on a lifestyle change for increased health rather than programs based solely on pounds lost.
Dr. J. Ronald Willis of HCG Diet Direct responds, “While obesity and being overweight are considered health risks in almost all cases it is still a subject that should be approached carefully. Many see nothing wrong with any “weight” aesthetically, but the problem comes when an individual experiences increased health risks for many common illnesses and diseases; that’s when a fast weight loss diet should be suggested.”
HCG Diet Direct offers homeopathic HCG weight loss formula in combination with a very strict diet; it’s a fast weight loss diet. This program is based on a major lifestyle change as the body relearns how to treat fat in a healthy manner and the individual learns how to choose healthy foods, prepare foods using healthy cooking methods and limit themselves to healthy portion sizes.
