Understand: surgery is surgery.  The death rate from weight loss surgeries is higher than reported as this large study shows.  Another thought: what are the long-term health implications.  I can tell you from the clients that I see, it is not good

Age has direct impact on postoperative complication rate in weight loss surgeries

complication rates for weight loss surgery start at 20% and go up from there.

Green tea extract results in weight loss, both short-term and long-term

Green tea extract and weight loss in obesity

CLA not shown to be beneficial in short-term weight loss

Alpha Lipoic Acid improves weight loss

chronic dieting will result in low T4 to T3 production; hindering weight loss

review of all studies on HCG and weight loss by Germany, leads to conclusion that "HCG is ineffective in dieting and should not be used"

early letter casting doubt on HCG for weight loss

fructose (HCFS) leads to increase in blood pressure.  Similar problem is also seen in post-gastric surgery for weight loss.

The ignorance of this authors statements is unmeasurable.  Numerous other studies have shown weight loss in men with obesity is associated with increased Testosterone production.  My book highlights the mechanism by which adipose tissue decreased Testosterone production.  The author was quoted as pointed to no Testosterone replacement (even if levels are low????) despite the evidence that Testosterone will improve glucose metabolism, build muscle (reverse sarcopenia obesity), improve cholesterol metabolism,  and significantly aid Diabetes control just to name a few; yet the author says, give surgery instead.  I am sure the author is a surgeon and thus bias might, just might, be present.

At Helensvale Chiropractor we not only look after chiropractic but we are also a complete integrated wellness centre for weight loss, detox, VLA etc.

low carb diet found to benefit atherosclerosis and lipid abnormalities (Triglycerides, HDL, and LDL particle size).  Interesting enough, no significant weight loss was seen.

Lifestyle interventions significantly reduced weight and incidence of type II Diabetes compared to metformin.  Both significantly reduced the incidence, but lifestyle interventions were more beneficial than metformin.

rebound weight gain has hormone component

I like this study.  So many men, and women for that matter, focus on cardio for health and weight loss.  In men, low Testosterone is associated with aging as is weight.  This inverse relationship leads to the sarcopenic (belly, manboobs, and thin arms/legs) obesity so prevalent in older men today.  This study found that older men do have lower levels of enzymes and androgens from muscle biopsies as compared to younger men.  A 12 week resistance training regimen of only knee flexion and extension (simple) resulted in increased 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase.
