5:30 am

(PRWEB) May 18, 2005

If you have diabetes symptoms and have been diagnosed with diabetes, your physician has probably mentioned that you should pay careful attention to your diabetes diet as part of your diabetes treatment program.

Nutrition experts say that there is no one diet for diabetes, but diabetics should follow the nutrition guidelines in the food pyramid, while paying special attention to carbohydrate intake, as a bad diabetes diet does equal diabetes symptoms.

If you have never attempted to eat a healthy, well-balanced diabetic diet before your diabetes diagnosis, it can be difficult to know where to get started. you can get much more information on diabetes diet at:http://www.diabeticsbooks.com

After a diabetes diagnosis, consider seeing a dietitian and developing a diabetes diet plan to get started. Taking into account your medication, your physical activity, your weight and any other conditions you have in addition to diabetes.

The dietitian will help you create a diabetic diet that will prevent complications of diabetes and still give you the pleasure you’ve always had in eating.

People with diabetes should also eat about the same amount of food at the same time each day to keep blood sugar levels stable.

Keeping your eating and exercise habits on a similar schedule day to day will help keep your blood glucose at healthy levels.

Experts suggest these tips:

Eat your meals and snacks at about the same times each day.

Eat about the same amounts of food each day – donÂt have a large lunch one day and a small one the next.

Do not skip meals or snacks.

FDA rejects Vivus’ fat pill

FDA rejects Vivus’ fat pill

The first new prescription weight-loss pill in more than a decade failed to win backing from U.S. health advisers, who said safety concerns about the drug outweighed its ability to help obese patients shed pounds.
Shares of Vivus Inc’s sank 62 percent on Thursday after U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisers expressed concern the once-a-day pill could cause depression, memory-loss and potential birth defects if used among millions of overweight or obese Americans.
Their decision stunned investors, who had more than doubled the share price of the California biotech in the last year on hopes that safety woes would not keep the drug from market.
An FDA official was also surprised.
“When you listen to even the no votes, you got the sense that a lot of people, they weren’t strongly against the drug,” said Eric Colman, deputy director of FDA’s division that oversees such drugs.
Shares of rival fat-pill hopefuls, Arena Pharmaceuticals Inc and Orexigen Therapeutics Inc, also sank after the vote.
Approving the drug would be “a huge public health experiment,” said panelist Elaine Morrato of the University of Colorado, one of the 10 panelists who urged against FDA approval. Six others supported the drug, called Qnexa.
The FDA will weigh the vote before making its final decision and usually follows its panelists’ advice.
The panel’s rejection is a blow to Vivus, which has not had a U.S. product approved since 1996.
Cowen and Co analyst Ian Sanderson said it was possible for Vivus to eventually win U.S. approval, but it would first have to test it in as many as 10,000 patients, at a potential cost of 0 million.
“They’d need a partner,” Sanderson said.
The California biotechnology company is seeking the FDA’s green light with the hope of beating Arena and Orexigen’s rival diet drugs to market.
It told FDA’s outside experts that Qnexa helped many patients shed 35 to 40 pounds and that its risks were not major.
There is little doubt the drug works, panelists said, but potential side effects such as depression, memory loss, increased heart rate and birth defects were a top worry.
“This medication, in term of efficacy, is far superior than anything that’s on the market. The concerns we have are with safety,” said Dr. Abraham Thomas of Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.
Panelists were also concerned since patients may take Qnexa for years, but Vivus’ data only covered about 12 months.
Nearly 70 percent of people in the United States are overweight, and more than a third of them are obese, government statistics show.
“It’s like instant willpower,” said Erin Aycock, a clinical trial patient who lost 50 pounds on the drug but later regained most of it. “I would do anything to be back on this drug.”
In a statement after the meeting, Vivus said the panel’s vote was disappointing. The company had been expecting FDA’s approval decision by October 28.
Vivus has said it expects data from a longer, 2-year study by the end of this quarter.
Shares of Arena closed down 8.4 percent after the vote, reversing earlier gains. Orexigen closed 10 percent lower. Vivus shares were halted during regular trading on Thursday but fell heavily as they reopened in after-hours trade.
Some analysts saw hope for Arena’s candidate, lorcaserin, which tentatively faces FDA’s advisers September 16 and has 2-year data. Orexigen’s FDA panel is expected December 7.(Visit my site and see the latest and most popular Wholesale Handbags designs.)

High Protein Diet for Weight Loss

High Protein Diet for Weight Loss

There are several weight loss diet plans that are designed to assist an individual in the up hill battle of losing weight. Losing weight is often a very frustrating task but a task that allows an individual to achieve stunning end results. Weight loss is a challenging task that has many great rewards. A popular weight loss diet is a high protein meal plan.

With a high protein diet plan an individual is encouraged to stay away from carbohydrates and to eat foods that are very high in protein. For example on a high protein diet plan an individual will be encouraged to eat foods rich in protein, such as a hamburger without the bread. The hamburger bun is a carbohydrate that is known for putting extra weight on an individual.

Many men and women have had success with a high protein diet weight loss plan. A study that was recently conducted proved that men and women who were on a high protein weight loss plan experienced less hunger, greater weight loss and increased satisfaction when twenty percent of fat was cut out of their diet. The individuals in the study increased their protein intake by thirty percent.

Several individuals have experienced obesity control with protein diet plan. Obesity is now considered one of the top silent killers that affect both men and women. An individual who is obese is usually plagued with other health problems such as diabetes and heart disease. Obesity control with protein diet can be achieved because the amount of fat and carbohydrates an individual is consuming is reduced. This means that the individual is eating a healthier diet.

A protein diet for weight loss can be set-up in many different ways. A protein shake diet is recommended for individuals who want to cut back on the amount of food that is consumed on a daily basis. With a protein shake diet an individual drinks a protein shake, replacing two meals a day, this is an easy way in which to loss weight. Another type of protein diet for weight loss is to consume foods that are high in protein. It is important to read food labels in order to know how much protein is in a snack or main dish.

Anyone who is starting a protein diet should discuss their diet plans with their doctor. It is important to tell your doctor the type of diet you are choosing and your diet goals. Your doctor may have some healthy recommendations to help you along the way. A protein diet has helped thousands of individuals. Soon when you look in the mirror you will see the body you have always desired.
