Billion Dollar Diet Industry

The diet industry rakes in more than 35 billion dollars a year and Dr. Travis thinks that many of them are bogus. The Doctors agree that there is no quick fix for battling the bulge. Dr. Jim shares his personal story of losing 50 pounds on a low-carb diet.

Three friends who are yo-yo dieters ask the physicians which weight loss plan can help shed pounds the fastest. Jaydee, who weighs 163 pounds, decides to do The Cleanse diet. Renee, 161 pounds, chooses the lifestyle plan, and Alisha, 257, goes with the low-carb diet. After a week, the ladies join Dr. Stork onstage for their weigh-in.

Jaydee lost four pounds, Alisha is down seven pounds and Renee lost six pounds.  Dr. Travis says that a low-carb diet is a good way to kick-start one’s weight loss, but in the long run, it can’t take the place of healthy, balanced meals and exercise.

I am trying to lose weight on my lower belly and my thigh area.  I work out 5 days a week for 2hrs a day. I do cardio and weights alternating  between upper and lower body area but nothing seems to make a difference on those 2 areas.  I know there are no magic pills and not interested in serious surgery procedures. Does anyone have any suggestions.
