Comment on Shoes for Kids in Care by Tammy

I am a foster parent of almost 10 years and I want to commend you on this amazing gift to foster children. My kids are actually some that have more than what they need and we make sure to pack everything up and send it with them when they move on, whether it be back home, to another foster home or to an adoptive home. It saddens me to see some children in care who are still in need so, again, I say thank you!

Hey Jason,

I just came across this blog. Thanks for the mention. You are doing great! Race day is coming soon so I hope you are enjoying your taper. Let me know if you want a swim tune-up before race day.

Best,

I have always read that our feet when used a lot become the best footwear we can wear. I used to have so many foot and toe problems due to my training so I have now gone completely to barefoot running. Now I personally don’t run on trails but I have found that over the past year my feet have become very resilient to anything that may be on the road ahead of me. Get out there and start training and pursuing your fitness goals barefoot!

Comment on The hCG Diet by Cheyn

Thank you for posting about this diet. I am also a dietitian and have tried to find the studies to back up using HCG as an effective weight loss therapy. Of course there are no studies showing any statistical significance showing that HCG works – because it doesn’t. It just kills me that people are willing to drop tons of money on some “gimmick” but are unwilling to spend money or time to do what needs to be done for effective weight loss/maintenance. Thanks again for your investigation on this. I am going to pass this along to my patients/friends/family and whoever else needs to read it.

Thanks!

Hi Adrienne,

Generally we do not recommend taking all three products at the same time, specifically because it can upset your stomach. You should take one supplement for 30 days and then move onto the next. You can call us at 877.436.8348 if you need more info or have questions.

Hi Ryan — Body Media has been looking at trying to incorporate a heart rate monitor and it’s actually a fairly complicated task. They are still pursuing it as far as we know. We have given them feedback from other users regarding the stop watch feature.

Are there plans to add a HR monitor and a stopwatch? I currently have to wear another watch that only functions as a stopwatch. It seems that these two functions would be highly beneficial to the user.

Hi Greg, thanks for your response. I believe we have a difference in opinion, rather than misinformation in my blog. I respectfully disagree for the reasons stated below. I have no financial incentive to provide this information. I’ve outlined my responses in line with your comments.

1. The hCG protocol was taken directly from the creator of this diet, Dr. Simeons, from his manuscript “Pounds and Inches.” The third item under Lunch in his protocol is “One breadstick (grissino) or one Melba toast.”
2. Any food plan that restrict calories is considered a “diet” and this plan definitely does. To your point, it could also be referred to as a medical protocol since physicians and chiropractors are administering it. Could you explain why the rules of calories in vs. calories out do not apply? Please provide scientific references.
3. The meta-analysis I referenced included a review of all studies on hCG – 8 controlled trials and 16 uncontrolled trials. Here is the statement from the research: “We conclude that there is no scientific evidence that HCG is effective in the treatment of obesity; it does not bring about weight-loss OR fat-redistribution, nor does it reduce hunger or induce a feeling of well-being.”
4. Please explain why the body must enter starvation mode in order for hCG to work and provide scientific references. Weight loss will occur during starvation without the presence of hCG. Also, licensed/registered dietitians and/or nutritionists routinely provide 1,200 calorie diets for weight loss. Patient compliance is the main issue for why people don’t maintain results.
5. The side effects are simply those listed by the drug manufacturer.
6. You may be right, a clinical trial on the safety of hCG may not have been performed to date. However, any diet with less than 800 calories per day is considered a very low calorie diet which is unsafe due to lack of energy and vital nutrients.
7. Regardless of the dose of hCG given, it is not an FDA approved drug for weight loss.
