Dr. Yoho has been an observer of the weight loss/large volume liposuction scene for many years, and he’s also an aggressive amateur athlete who is well past his days where he was very accomplished in anything. In any case, he has some observations regarding diet and exercise that he’d like to share.
The biggest misconception about diet and exercise is that the exercise is the critical component. Diet is much more important, and especially with women, any attempt to lose weight with just exercise without regarding the diet carefully is doomed to failure. There are some men that can tolerate heavy exercise and be successful at weight loss and ignore their diet; however, these individuals often get injured at “boot camps” and other excessively aggressive exercise regimens. One of the fittest and best muscled individuals known to Dr. Yoho, a semi-professional body-builder, exercises at his body-building only about four days a week for a half an hour. That said, his diet is what Dr. Yoho calls the “Nazi Diet.” He never has a cupcake to save his life, never eats any chocolate, and never eats any refined sugar of any kind. He restricts himself to what would be regarded as very strict health food.
The other misconception is that diet pills and injections are a smart idea. While these can help in the short term, the long-term issue with them is well known, that is, recurrence of the weight problem.
Of course, the long-term results of gastric bypass surgery of any kind are unknown and probably much worse than the proponents (who have an enormous financial conflict of interest) would tell you.
What Dr. Yoho does recommend heavily is “programmed diets” such as Jenny Craig and others, which give you the food and portion-control your consumption by showing you exactly what it is to eat just the right amount and the right composition of different foods. These, while not easy, do have the potential for long-term success and long-term training of the individual. Dr. Yoho himself uses a form of a programmed diet and buys his meals that he eats during the week from SterlingCuisine.com, a local food service that gives him excellent nutrition at a reasonable price.
