P.O.R.N. Diets

I am coining this term as I feel some of the diets out there are so radical they need to be discussed in one place.

We here from our favorite celebrities daily and some of us live for this. We follow them on Twitter, talk about them on Bebo and MySpace or e mail each other about them especially when a new diet is talked about.

There have been some over the top radical diets in the past like the 'Air diet', not a very popular one for obvious reasons unlike the 'Chocolate' diet. Then there is the more main stream 'Atkins' diet or 'The Dash Diet' or even 'The South Beach Diet'. All have there plus and minus points and their advocates and nay sayers as well.

The trick when it comes to diets if there is a trick in selecting one would be to thoroughly research the topic. The mere fact that there literally are thousands of diets commercially available shown on television, billboards or even your local Chemist shop.

Here will be many, many articles pertaining to the topic of P.O.R.N. Diets circulating our media and your opinion on them is most welcome. Maybe you have been on one and would like to praise it or maybe warn others away from it. Whatever you may like to share, diet related, please do.

Selecting a Gastric Bypass Surgery Center in Mexico

By Sara Guppy

Being overweight has become an epidemic in the U.S., and more so, over half of the Americans are considered having a BMI which is over the ideal average weight. The statistics now show that approximately 23 million are considered morbidly obese. There is an increased risk of medical conditions such as hypertension and diabetes as well as an increased risk for heart disease.

A gastric bypass surgery, offers new hope for obese American individuals that really need the help. This involves shrinking the stomach area which reduces the capacity of the stomach. If this procedure is done at a qualified bariatric center in Mexico, there is a high possibility that it can provide a permanent reversal.

The surgical procedure was first introduced in 1967, since then, gastric bypass surgery has become a lot more mainstream over the last 40 plus years. Over 140,000 American citizens underwent the surgery in 2005. The surgeon creates a small pouch at the top area of the patients stomach, then a bypass is created around the small intestines and stomach region.

The bypass will now redirect the food and causing it to move around the stomach which limits the ability of the patient to absorb calories. Because of health problems associated with obesity, many candidates for bariatric surgery present sharply increased risks in surgery.

Many individuals will require special equipment and resources that will accomodate someone who is above the normal size and weight by at least 100 pounds. The afterecare is also very important as they will need guidance for some time in dealing with the changes.

Not every gastric bypass surgery center offers the same quality of treatment and care. Bariatric surgery is just the first step in a lifelong process to defeat a disease that may have plagued you for decades, so its important for your bariatric surgery center to keep you in the loop, and keep you focused on the life changes youre going to have to make for the surgery to be successful.

When choosing a bariatric gastric bypass surgery center, dont be afraid to ask questions. This is a life-changing experience, and you need to be able to trust the center where the surgery is performed. Ask about the centers track record and how long theyve been doing the surgeries. Also check out the aftercare the center in Mexico offers and find out if they offer support groups too. If you're not comfortable with the center in Mexico, dont use it.

There are many bariatric gastric bypass surgery centers in Mexico to choose from, but locating the one that fits your needs will not be as easy. Carefully research the credentials and track profile of the surgeon.
