IAPAM's HCG Training Includes Enhanced Weight Loss Maintenance Strategies The IAPAM's hCG Physician Weight Loss Program offers physicians all the resources and training they need to add hCG for Weight Loss to their practices. Las Vegas, NV, November 19, 2010 The IAPAM's hCG Physician Weight Loss Program offers physicians all the resources and training they need to add hCG for Weight Loss to their practices. Now the IAPAM's program includes enhanced education on long term weight loss maintenance strategies. The IAPAM is committed to educating physicians on the best practices for using hCG as part of a successful Medical Weight Loss Program. Now the exclusive IAPAM hCG Protocol has augmented its program to include proven strategies for the long term maintenance of weight loss after a successful hCG Protocol. "The goal is for patients to do the hCG program to get the weight off and keep it off forever, so these strategies will help physicians educate patients on what really works for long term weight loss," says IAPAM executivedirector, Jeff Russell. A recent study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information examined the "difference in selected weight loss strategies and attitudes among persons who reported successful weight loss attempts vs. persons who were not successful. Behaviors examined included: modification of diet, leisuretime and sports activities, and selfmonitoring." This study found that "selfmonitoring strategies such as weighing oneself, planning meals, tracking fat and calories, exercising 30 or more minutes daily, and/or adding physical activity to daily routine may be important in successful weight loss maintenance. Leisuretime activities such as lifting weights or cooking/baking for fun are common strategies reported by those who were successful weight losers." Today, the IAPAM announced that it has enhanced its discussion of successful hCG Maintenance Phase strategies. As part of its fullday intensive education on hCG for weight loss, lipotropic injections and Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) programs, the IAPAM's hCG Physician Training now showcases 18 proven strategies for patients to maintain their hCG weight loss, from using Internet websites with individualized diet programs to reduce the amount of food prepared away from home. The IAPAM's hCG session also includes an overview of barriers to maintaining weight loss, as well as an analysis of the most common weightcontrol behaviors. The IAPAM hCG Training continues to cover: A detailed overview of the exclusive IAPAM hCG Protocol & best practices; Understanding of VLCD/LCD diet programs; Patient selection criteria; Common medical contraindications; Current FDA status & requirements; Legal/Insurance considerations and special access to hCG Medical Malpractice Insurance Program; and Weight Loss Practice Advertising & Marketing Tips and Strategies.
