A couple of days ago Dana’s tremendous weight-loss story was featured in “The Unreal World” section of the LA Times. The article, Working out obesity issues on ‘Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition, talked about the health implications of losing the significant amount of weight that Dana was able to use in just a year’s time.

The story asks a number of medically related questions to weight-gain and weight-loss:

Is it common for people who are morbidly obese to require so many painkillers? Are they usually short of breath and are they at a heightened risk of tearing knee ligaments? Is it medically safe to lose 200 pounds over the course of a year while exercising vigorously? Is dramatic weight loss necessary to justify a skin-tightening procedure? How frequently does child abuse lead to self-punishing behaviors such as extreme weight gain?

The article, Working out obesity issues on ‘Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition’, which was written by Marc Siegel does a thorough job of answering those questions as well as covering the dramatic transformation that took place in Dana’s life over those 365 days, you can also check websites like lizzardco.com to get a lot more tips.
