The link above features the newest diet craze. If you have been reading my blog you know I consistently recommend:
1.there are no quick fixes
2.if you cannot maintain the “diet” then the results will not be maintainable
3.deprivation leads to many emotional eating issues
4.losing weight quickly results in water and muscle weight lost not fat
5.losing weight quickly slows down your metabolism
6.whole foods is always the best
7.trying to live up to the “perfect” or “ideal” body or eating style is not realistic
This diet is not different except more severe and with increased potential for complications.
The tube feeding diet is now being offered to brides but also those wanting a “quick” weight loss. For 10 days, a feeding tube (NG tube) is inserted through the nose into the stomach and liquid tube feeding (protein and fat) is given in the amount of 800 calories. No other food or liquid is consumed. Under doctor’s supervision.
What is not discussed is that tube feedings are given to those patients who are very ill and or suffering from eating disorders. This is not a healthy way to eat. complications can include dehydration, constipation, erosions and kidneys stones. Those on tube feeding should be monitored daily. There is no follow-up program after the tube feeding is removed.
Always remember if it sounds to good to be true then it probably is!

I booked a massage with Alexis, I had been in need of one desperately from working at home in the wrong chair for the past few months. She was so kind and intuitive and really knew the exact areas to address. I feel like a new person now, one of the best massages I have ever had! I didn't know they offer pilates here as well and the studio is gorgeous. The atmosphere was great and very clean. I will definitely be back soon!

She makes me feel comfortable and is mindful of aches and spots on my body that might need more or less attention. I feel so relaxed every time I leave and never want the massages to end. She’s great and I highly recommend her!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The reopening protocols that Nutriformance have implemented are identical to those we are currently using in the professional sports world and my confidence is such that I am completely comfortable bringing my 8- year old son in on a weekly basis to continue his training.  The awareness of the staff and their sensitivity to our current health situation are of the utmost priority, based on my observations over the last couple of weeks.  If you are an athlete looking to gain a competitive edge over your opponents, a young athlete trying to refine your basic athletic qualities or an adult just looking to stay healthy - I would make Nutriformance my first call.
