Celebrity Figures Helping Promote Health

There are many female pop stars that get a lot of media attention for exhibiting their fabulous bikini bods – two  of our favorites are Katy Perry and Beyoncé. 

Katy Perry may not have needed a weight loss surgery in Los Angeles to get her body into super thin shape, but she does follow the advice of them-and that’s by eating the healthiest foods possible. We think it’s great that she actively promotes eating fresh fruits and vegetables at all times. We heard that her favorites are spinach, broccoli, celery beets and carrots.
  
Beyoncé also makes it well known that she eats healthily. Recently she posted a photo on her Tumbler site of her dinner which consisted of a Nicoise salad, sweet potato, chili and coconut soup and pan-seared beef. It looked delicious! 

We think it’s important that celebrities and people in the media promote a healthy living. It’s much better than promoting a diet of cigarettes and diet coke. It also helps inspire the fans when they can have the mindset of, “If Katy Perry can do it, so can I.” 

If you would like to get the figure of Katy Perry or Beyoncé, Dr. Feiz & Associates are here to help!

The Daddy of All Weight Loss Techniques.

Father's Day is this Sunday, and it's prompting us to think a little bit about men and weight issues.Whether you're a bariatric surgeon, a person dealing with obesity, or a noncombatant in the long war against the growing human gut, you have had to notice a change in attitudes regarding men and obesity issues.

If you were to walk into a Weight Watchers or Overeater's Anonymous meeting in, say, 1979, you would very likely be startled at how very few men you'd see -- perhaps only one or two in a room full of fifty people. Of course, men had weight issues then, just like today, but they were far less likely to see it as a problem. (The reasons why that was so could probably fill several books.) While weight loss remains a somewhat disproportionately female endeavor today, that's been changing to the point where it won't be long before an equal number of women and men will be doing whatever they can to achieve a healthy weight.

Here at Dr. Feiz and Associates, we're definitely seeing a growing number of males coming in. As men realize that they're health is at least as endangered by obesity as the women in their lives, and they continue to want to be healthy enough to enjoy their children and grandchildren, we expect to shortly be helping just as many daddies as mommies to acheive the happier, healthier life we all deserve.

If you're ready to get on the track to a life free of severe obesity, it might be time to give the offices of Dr. Michael Feiz a call at (800) 868-5946 today to inquire about attending a free seminar.

Living in the Present

There's no doubt that weight loss surgery has made great strides in effectively combating the obesity epidemic since the 1990s. Procedures such as the gastric sleeve and the lap band have presented people with options that are less invasive and extremely effective. Still, that doesn't mean the people who received the earlier procedures made a mistake by not waiting. They received the available treatment for their illness when they needed it and countless people are now living vastly happier and healthier lives as a result.

We say this because some of the new experimental procedures that are getting some press attention at the moment might tempt some folks to hold off in hopes of receiving what they imagine might be a more ideal surgery. This would be a mistake for a number of reasons, starting with the fact that the newer procedures are aimed primarily at the less severely obese who might not even be candidates for currently available bariatric procedures. Secondly, such dangerous illnesses as type 2 diabetes don't wait around for medical science to advance. You have to obtain the surgeries that are available now because you're life is now, not at some undefined point in the future.

If your health and happiness is in danger because of severe obesity, now may be the time to get started. For more information on obtaining the very best in weight loss surgery in California, please contact us at 310-855-8058.
