Disabled Children’s Weight Problems And Their Care:

Not many people know that Katie Price and Peter Andre, the attention loving couple have a 6 year-old son suffering from a disability. It’s understandable though as these two manage to grab any publicity opportunity by the scruff of its neck.

Little Harvey is autistic and also suffers from a rare disorder called septo-optic dysplasia which is known to cause partial or complete blindness, low muscle tone and hormonal problems. Children suffering from this condition are known to have learning difficulties and display mental retardation as well.

One of the characteristics observed in children suffering from septo-optic dysplasia is a poorly functioning pituitary gland. This can cause an obstruction in the production of the thyroid hormone which results in weight gain. Take a look at Katie-Price’s child and you can see that little Harvey faces this problem.

Body Makeovers thinks that the best way to deal with weight loss issues of such children is to consult a proper neurologist first instead of rushing in blindly for a diet and exercise plan.

Not everybody needs a weight loss personal training plan. Children facing septo-optic dysplasia problems need to be nurtured with care and understanding and have to be provided with special treatment. Which is why we laud Katie’s plans of moving to LA so that Harvey can get better treatment.

Got a weight loss problem you don’t know what to do about? Let Body Makeovers know so we can help you solve it.

Size-less And Skinny:

Victoria Beckham is both, no doubt about it. Look at her- she doesn’t have a spare ounce of fat on her. When Daily Mail columnist Claire Coleman tried to don her threads and walk her walk, this was confirmed.

But Victoria Beckham is actually a size four according to UK standards, which in the American way of speaking is, no surprises here, size zero! According to medical and fitness experts, a size zero body measurement is equivalent to an average eight-year-old’s body which is basically without any curves and all straight lines and angles.

The best way to get such a body is indulging in some heavy duty starvation, but then you really wouldn’t enjoy the results of such a routine, mainly because you might not be around to enjoy it.

Studies have found that at least one in five people who suffer from anorexia nervosa die from the illness. The sad part about it is that they don’t realize they are gripped by this particular disorder.

Looking good is important, more so than looking starved, and ironically, Victoria herself insists that the models that showcase her clothing line are more ‘natural looking’. She may be thin herself, but she sure knows where to draw the line for her audience.

If you have a thin frame but are not satisfied with it, get in touch with Body Makeover Systems. We have customized healthy weight loss diets that work wonders for your frame without demanding a starvation plan. Look slim and fit rather than thin and starved.

Overcoming Body Dysphoria At Body Makeovers:

Medical experts describe individuals suffering from body dysphoria as viewing themselves with a ‘distorted perception of reality’ and term it as an ‘attitude disorder’. Fitness experts view it as a red alert for eating disorders.

Plainly speaking, when a person suffering from body dysphoria views himself/herself in a mirror, what they’ll see looking back at them is a thinner or fatter version of themselves. While women and especially young teenage girls are known to exhibit signs of body dysphoria, men too have fallen victim to this physical and mental delusion.

At Body Makeover Systems, we believe that accepting the person you are is the first step to recovery from such a condition. We have applied a lot of thought into the healthy weight loss personal training programs and Body Makeover regimes.
