Proven measures to lose weight fast and safe in New York City

While the nation fights the epidemic of obesity, there is so much misinformation, half truths, fad diets, and miracle weight loss products with tall and unrealistic weight loss claims! As a physician trained in the new field of obesity medicine, let me show you what works and what does not for weight loss!

Understand the cause of your weight gain in New York! While most people would think it is their overeating or lack of exercises for weight loss in New York(or combination of these), the real causes can be elsewhere such as the often ignored metabolic causes of weight gain such as insulin resistance.

Focus not just on the body mass index, but also the distribution of the weight as certain distributions of the weight pose higher risk than others. For example, if you have weight mostly in the central or upper part of the body, the risks associated with obesity are much higher than otherwise!

Do not blame the victim or yourself for the weight gain as this only makes things worse, and in most situations, underlying causes of weight gain might be causing the eating patterns and not otherwise. This is because, if your body is insulin resistant, as up to 71 percent of the population are, then you go in to metabolic starvation despite having the excess body weight.

The old traditional thinking on weight loss as spread by the failed food pyramid may not be true as some of the things advocated by the food pyramid in fact contributed to the obesity epidemic in the name of helping! Specifically, the food pyramid put excess stress on carbohydrates in an effort to reduce fat. This lead to a new problem called insulin resistance which leads to weight gain as insulin is a body building hormone.

Are sleep problems causing your weight gain?

Can’t Lose Weight? Sleep Problems May The Cause! 

During the past 20 years, there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States and rates remain high. More than one-third of U.S. adults (35.7%) and approximately 17% (or 12.5 million) of children and adolescents aged 2—19 years are obese. Also, another 33% of all adults are in the overweight category.

While there are many factors that contribute to weight, the following 4 factors play a crucial role in the expansion of our waist lines.

Hippocrates, father of medicine said "Let Food Be Your Medicine, Medicine Be Your Food" 

 As we moved away from this concept, and see food merely as "calories in, calories out", we run in to issues such as obesity. 

 Here are three things that happened to the modern diet that contribute to the high levels of inflammation that we currently see in the population at large leading to increased disease burden. Understanding these three fundamental principles forms the foundation for a healthy and long life with reduced inflammation level in the body.

First, insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome, that affects one in three Americans and leads to belly fat accumulation. Unlike the subcutaneous fat which is protective, studies have shown that belly fat produces cytokines and other inflammation causing chemicals leading to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other conditions. In fact, waist circumference of over 40 inches in men and 36 inches in women(lower in Asian Populations), is one of the five criteria for metabolic syndrome.

Second, lack of polyphenols and other antioxidants in the diet. Before the modern food processing era, our diet used to have more than 50 percent unprocessed and uncooked food items such as colored fruits, vegetables, and other natural ingredients that are high in antioxidants such as polyphenols. Studies have shown that lack of polyphenols leads to increased inflammation in the body.

Third, the ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 fatty acids used to be 1:1 but is now at 1:16 which also increases inflammation.Fourth, lack of proper duration and quality of sleep that contributes to insulin resistance which in turn leads to weight gain. And, unfortunately, this can set in a vicious cycle where sleep problems lead to weight gain and weight gain in turn makes sleep problems worse! If you snore or feel tired or sleepy during the day, you might suffer from sleep apnea.

Reversing the many factors leading to weight gain such as insulin resistance, sleep apnea, lack of proper sleep, stress, nutritional deficiencies, food sensitivities, eating disorders, hormonal imbalances etc. under the supervision of a physician familiar with weight loss, sleep disorders and wellness forms the basis for health, prevention and well being.
