Wedding Weight Loss Gone Wrong with 'K-E Diet' Feeding Tube

Extreme Weight Loss Diet to Fit Skinny Jeans

Medicine, ethics, and greed at the cross roads?

A new extreme weight loss diet , The K-E Diet,  featured in a recent New York Times article, involves having a nasogastric tube inserted through the nose and down into the esophagus for up to 10 days. The diet consists of a slow drip of protein and fat mixed with water, totaling 800 calories per day with no carbohydrates. Does it sound similar? It's like the Atkins Diet in a feeding tube.

The 10-day weight loss treatment costs $1500 and can result in the shedding of up to 20 pounds through ketosis, where the body burns fat instead of sugar. In order to fit their fabulous wedding gowns and look their best on wedding days, many brides-to-be go on all kinds of crash diets to lose 10 to 20 pounds quickly without realizing the side effects and the long-term impact on their health.

"For crying out loud, this is a biggest loser's hunger game," says Carey Yang, a certified personal trainer and fitness expert in New Jersey.

Yang is the owner and master personal trainer at Beyond Fitness Solutions, LLC -- a leading in-home personal training and weight-loss management company serving and helping clients in Morris County, Sussex County, Passaic County, Essex County and Somerset County areas in New Jersey.

The K-E Diet involves no hospitalization or doctor supervision - simply a bag filled with the food solution and a tube inserted into the nose. "I smell the conflict of interest in medicine, medical practice, ethics, and greed." Yang says.  "It's a rip-off!"

"You can lose weight on 800-calorie-a-day diet by yourself although it's below the safe daily calorie intake recommended by FDA and dietitians," Yang says. "And you'll be likely to lose muscle and water. When you resume your regular diet and calorie intake, you will gain all the weight back plus some."

Some of known and cited side effects are constipation, bad breath, dizziness, kidney stones, dehydration, and headaches. "It's like the Atkins diet on a feeding tube," Yang says.

"How can a normal, well person allow the doctor to stick a feed tube in their nose?" Yang questions. 

Naso-gastric tubes are only used for patients who are unable to eat enough such as people who are in a coma, have had a stroke, or have a serious illness that keeps them from being able to get enough nutrition by chewing and swallowing their food. There can be issues from tube irritation in the esophagus, and in some cases the tube can be accidentally placed (or accidentally moved after being placed properly) and end up in the lung. When the feeding formula goes into the lung it usually results in pneumonia.

Yang says, "if you can't lose weight by eating right, exercising regularly and taking on a healthy lifestyle, no fad diet can help you in the long term."

"I have trained and coached brides-to-be before. If you want to look your best on your wedding day, start early. Use this opportunity to learn how to eat a healthy diet, learn about your relationship with food, learn how to work out and strengthen your body the right way ." Yang says.

"The choice is yours. All I can say is that K-E Diet is a biggest loser's hunger game," Yang adds.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Morris County NJ In-Home Personal Trainer Carey Yang Helps Brides get into the best shape of their life, look and feel 100% wedding-dress confident using Intensive bridal shape-up fitness bootcamp training style.

Denville, NJ --June 28 , 2011 --For beautiful brides scrambling to get in shape, feel and look their best before wedding day now can experience the intensive bridal shape-up fitness training program exclusively offered by Morris County NJ #1 in-home personal trainer Carey Yang.

Yang is the founder and master trainer at Beyond Fitness Solutions, LLC based in Morris County, NJ also serving adjacent Somerset County, Essex County, Passaic County and Sussex County areas.

"Who doesn't want to look their best in the wedding day?" says Yang. "Brides have been waiting for this big day in their life. They all want to get into the best shape. Just imagine the wedding photos and videos that they will keep and see for a long time."

Yang adds, "over the years, I have trained brides, brides and bridesmaides, brides and grooms in private, semi-private and small-group training formats. They all have fun doing exercises and training together. The time together also helps them bond more intimately, relieve stress from preparing for the wedding, and improve their relationships.

"I feel happy for them and give them the best training I've got to make sure they're on track." Yang says. "The following is a testimonial from one of my recent bride client who is happy with my training services."

"To shape up and look my best for my wedding, I trained with Carey for about 3 months. The results are better than I expected. In addition to the hard-core workout with Carey, I learned valuable nutritional education, diet plan and healthy eating habit. I lost a couple of inches on my thighs, my arms, and around my waist and got rid of some cellulite in my trouble area. I have dropped 6 to 7% body fat just in time to fit my wedding dress perfectly. It’s not always easy as I was so busy with work and wedding planning. I wanted to quit so many times. But Carey is always enthusiastic and energetic. He encourages me and helps me get back on track. His workout routines are always innovative and effective that I feel refreshing and every muscle is working hard all the time. I feel particularly confident and strong from the fusion workout mixed in kickboxing, yoga and Pilates. I highly recommend Carey if you want to see results."

Bridal Workout and Fitness Plan Pays Off

Just like every other bride who wants to look the best on the wedding day, Elizabeth trained with me very intensively over the summer despite of her busy work and wedding planning.

Here is a video taken near end of her tough workout on the bleacher by a park. As you can see, it's getting dark and she's working out hard without losing a beating - putting on her painfully enjoyable smile. I know it's a paradox. How can one be feeling painful and enjoyable at the same time?

Well, you know it when you're at that point. Nothing can stop you. One goal, one mind, one rep at a time.

Now, you know what I means - painfully enjoyable smile!

All the hardwork pays off finally. Elizabeth was 100% wedding-dress confident looking into the mirror.

Elizabeth's smiling happily ever after.

Here is what Elizabeth says,

"To shape up and look my best for my wedding, I trained with Carey for about 3 months. The results are better than I expected. In addition to the hard-core workout with Carey, I learned valuable nutritional education, diet plan and healthy eating habit.
