<p>Obesity is a multi-factorial disease and its treatment requires more than just advice to diet and exercise. The purpose of this study was to determine the success rate of a comprehensive, evidence-based 6-step program for weight management when applied to an obese sample population. This retrospective, observational study takes place in an outpatient private clinic. The participants include 16 obese patients chosen based on prior enrollment in the 6-step program and having a BMI of 30 or greater. The 6 steps include: medical screening, patient education, diet selection/exercise, cognitive restructuring, behavioral therapy, and a plan for weight maintenance. Patient visits occurred about every three weeks and lasted about 30 minutes. The major outcome measured was weight lost over a minimum 3-month period. Patients initially underwent a medical screening to ensure no medical or psychological barriers for weight loss were present. Patients were educated about basic elements on the physiology of weight loss and weight maintenance. A structured diet was individualized for each patient based on prior success/failure with a particular diet and also patient preference of qualitative vs quantitative diet. Most chose a diet based on low glycemic index foods. Cognitive and behavioral therapy were given during patient sessions focusing on goal setting, understanding obesity as a disease with medical consequences, activity modification, and identifying environmental eating cues. A plan for weight maintenance was employed based on a 5-10% weight loss over 3 months followed by a 3-month weight maintenance cycle. All enrolled patients lost weight. Weight loss ranged from 6 to 42 lbs with an average loss of 16.4 lbs (p</p>

HOLLYWOOD HUSSEIN: HOW THE U.S. >REALLY< CAPTURED SADDAM George W. Bush has been keeping a real big secret from America. Texas big! And we're not talking about his secret crush on Paris Hilton. No, what Bush really doesn't want you to know is how Hollywood helped him capture Saddam Hussein. Shhh. Bush doesn't want you to know he recruited tabloid journalist Tom Peppers and a rag-tag team of paparazzi to do the job the CIA could not. He doesn't want you to know he hired sexy celubutante London Marriott to distract America. Bush especially doesn't want the public to know he turned to Arnold Schwarzenegger and a reality-TV guru to create the first presidentially produced reality show, Who Wants To Be An American Hero. Well, too bad, W! Hollywood Hussein uncovers it all. In Hollywood Hussein, author Ken Baker presents phone transcripts, classified documents and his very own interiews with the key players in Bush's top-secret "Operation Hollywood." Indeed, Hollywood Hussein reveals the previously untold story behind Saddam's curiously Hollywood-like capture in December 2003 from a spider hole in Iraq. The White House in Hollywood Hussein is one where the president uses weekly magazine sales figures - rather than scientific polls - to guage popular opinion, where the president spends more time plotting propaganda with Karl Rove than planning policy with Colin Powell, and where unlikely heroes emerge to save America from itself. Hollywood Hussein's hilariously scathing depiction of the events surrounding Saddam's capture not only will have you laughing, but the book's shocking final twist will also make you question everything you see on the news, not to mention the next thing you hear out of a politician's mouth.
