What Dr. Oz and PEERtrainer Know About Losing Weight That You Don’t

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 25, 2012 -- Palm Beach Gardens, FL , January 25, 2012 In the January issue of Oprah Magazine, Dr. Oz wrote an article where he outlined a 28 day plan to help people do a mind, body and soul makeover. Dr. Oz touched upon one of the most effective things for anyone looking to do a "makeover." He observed that "people who track what they eat can lose twice as much weight as those who don't." Dr. Oz specifically mentioned PEERtrainer.com, a free online weight loss, nutrition, and diet community, and how it can help "… find support when you need it."

According to Jackie Wicks, one of the founders of PEERtrainer.com, “We [PEERtrainer] are big fans of Dr. Oz because he takes a very broad view of health, and explores issues and ideas that most mainstream health figures will not touch. At times, he provides sorely needed leadership, and effectively goes head to head with views he wants to challenge.”

Wicks adds, “Dr. Oz has also been a long time friend and advocate of the work of Dr. Joel Fuhrman, who has had a strong influence on content and guidance we have developed. As a result of all this, we like to pay very close attention to what he is saying.”

Dr. Oz touched upon one of the most effective things for anyone looking to do a "makeover." He observed that "it's so easy to mindlessly munch" but that "people who track what they eat can lose twice as much weight as those who don't."

According to Wicks, “This observation is what PEERtrainer was based upon when the company was founded in 2005 -- that people generally know what to do, but needed help following through. This was also confirmed when we observed the actions of our weight loss community members … people who log their food on the website and are active in groups and teams overcome the very common habit of mindless eating and overwhelmingly lose weight”

Wicks adds, “We are thrilled that Dr. Oz specifically mentioned PEERtrainer in his article, and how the community can help "boost your drive and find support when you need it."

Wicks concludes, “Of course there are many additional features to the site over the years aside from the motivation, support and inspiration members get to help them with the very broad battle of getting into shape. One recent example has been the development of the ‘Cheat System’, which is a free weight loss program that helps people make healthy eating choices in an easy and forgivable manner. If you are one of those people who finds that your mind wanders and you need some focus, please join the PEERtrainer team and see if you find it easier to lose weight.”
