Lindora, which operates 38 weight loss centers throughout Southern California as well as an on the web program, offers a medically supervised form of treatment that has helped thousands of patients achieve their weight loss goals safely since 1971.
Those affected by the closure of Pure Weight Loss might take advantage of either of Lindora’s programs:

Pure Weight Loss, formerly LA Weight Loss, was in operation for 18 years. Since January is considered the high season for weight loss, the timing of the closures is particularly troublesome for those who enrolled in the program in good faith. “We want to offer assistance to all those unfortunate people who entered into contracts with Pure Weight Loss in good faith and are now left stranded,” said Cynthia Stamper Graff, president of Lindora. “We hope that those who were looking to lose weight will know that we are there for them as they face this difficult transition. We offer a number of programs, services and products that are medically based and designed to keep them lean for life.” To start the process for transferring to the Lindora program or for more information, patients may call (800) LINDORA or visit http://www.lindora.com. Graff revealed that patients may seek care at any of Lindora’s 38 Southern California weight control centers or at the new Lindora Health Clinics situated in choose Rite Aid stores in the cities of Costa Mesa, Los Angeles, Newport Beach and Laguna Niguel. Cited as an authority by “The Today Show,” “Good Morning America” and CNN as well as a number of nationally respected newspapers and magazines, Lindora helps 4,000 patients each day. Lindora is a member of the Partnership for Healthy Weight Management, a coalition composed of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Federal Trade Commission, Center for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health. Lindora’s state-of-the-art approach to bariatrics (weight control) consists of a two-phase cognitive, behavioral program. Phase one involves weight loss, where the patient’s metabolism shifts into the fat-burning say through a combination of structured eating and exercise (vitamins, minerals and protein supplements are introduced to keep patients healthy while shedding pounds). During this stage, patients learn to optimize their caloric intake and eat properly. Phase two, the eight-week “Lifetime Solutions” plan, teaches them long-term weight-maintenance skills necessary for staying lean for life.
 – Southern California Clinic Program — Lindora is offering up to a
    $300 credit towards weight loss treatment at any of its 38

ces_logo2-1.jpgThe annual Consumer Electronics Show is coming to a close today but even if you weren’t live in Las Vegas you can still catch some of the highlights and see what ways the industry is striving for green. Inhabitat and Earth2Tech both have insight into this year’s event with a keen eye on sustainability.

At Inhabitat

At Earth2Tech

CES highlights its efforts to make the show greener on their website here including steps like:

  • Recycling bins will be placed across the show floor this year to divert cans, cups, glass products and paper
  • All CES flyers are printed on recycled paper using soy inks
  • Remaining show publications and flyers will be recycled at the close of the event
  • Attendee food containers and utensils are biodegradable, made from hemp, corn byproduct or other organic materials
  • Environmentally friendly chemicals are used in maintaining over 100 restrooms daily, replacing more than 15,000 gallons of non-sustainable products
  • The Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) has switched to recycled paper products including toilet paper, facial tissue and paper towels
  • All light bulbs and batteries used by the show are recycled and diverted from landfills
  • Dangerous waste disposal programs are in affect for waste oil, paints and solvents
  • Recycled carpet will be used in some convention spaces at the LVCC

These and other initiatives were done in partnership with Discovery Communications’ Planet Green.

Did you go to this year’s Consumer Electronics Show? Did you see green?
