7th Ward
offers modern diet plan
Seventh Ward General hired a co-
ordinator for the new Optifast weight
loss program after an introductory
meeting January 28 drew 300 people to
the hospital.
Ann McDaniel, registered dietitian
and head of the hospital's Dietary
Department, said she was delighted to
have Beverly Whitehead, R.D., and
past president of the Hammond District
Dietetic Association, overseeing the
new Optifast program.
"Optifast needs its own coordinator
because the program involves
physicians, nurses, social workers, and
a psychologist in addition to the
registered dietitians. The people on this
weight loss program need close
supervision; most have complicating
risk factors such as diabetes, high blood
pressure, or heart and circulatory
problems," Mrs. McDaniel explained.
Mrs. Whitehead, who comes to
Seventh Ward General from the Florida
Parishes Artificial Kidney Center where
she was renal dietitian, is enthusiastic
about the results of the pilot program
which began in December•
"People have been able to
discontinue high blood pressure
medicine; diabetics have been able to
discontinue insulin injections. It's
helping people who thought they'd
never lose weight and it's improving
their quality of life as well," Mrs.
Whitehead said•
Mrs. McDaniei and Dr. John Walker
investigated the Optifast program
developed at the Mr. Sinai Medical
Center in Cleveland, Ohio. They were
looking for acomplete and safe weight
loss program for people who had at
least 50 pounds to lose and whose
problem was complicated by other
health risks.
Two physicians at the Mr. Sinai
Medical Center, a Dr. Vincent Vertes--
an authority on high blood pressure and
kidney disease--and Dr. Saul Genuth. a
diabetes specialist, had developed a
weight loss program with a remarkable
long-term success record•
"Two-year follow-up studies show
that about 80 percent of the Optifast
participants stay within 10 pounds of
their proper weight. Less than 10
percent of the people who lose weight
on conventional diets maintain that
weight loss," Mrs. McDaniel said.
The success of the Optifast program
has been well documented in medical
journals and in practice at major
medical centers throughout the United
States and Canada over the past 12
years. It is only offered through
reputable physicians and medical
centers.
"'One of the most important aspects
of Optifast is its maintenance program.
The people in this program know that
we aren't just concerned with weight
loss; the ultimate goal is keeping it off,"
Mrs. Whitehead explained.
Mrs. Whitehead has received special
training from Sandoz Nutrition, the
formula. She is now busy setting up
new classes and schedules for people
on the Optifast waiting list.
"We're going to accommodate
everyone, but we need to expand
gradually to insure that the quality of the
program is maintained," Mrs.
Whitehead explained.
