So we all know who J-Woww’s doctor is- she has never been quiet about coming to Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery for her breast augmentation. Now Snooki is quoted saying that she too wants to get work done by J-Woww’s doctor! Even though we will never violate a patients privacy, we must admit it is exciting to note that Snooki is considering coming to us. Read a portion of the article below…
Yes it’s true: newly-svelte Snooki is getting a boob job and her bestie JWOWW is helping her through the process. (Luckily for Snooks, this isn’t JWOWW’s first boob-enhancing rodeo.)
“I’m definitely taking her to my doctor,” Jenni told E! Online. “I’ll go in and get mine redone to make her feel better.”
How sweet. Snooks dished that she was hoping to get a boob job “in the next couple of months.”

1,000 South Americans to sue over French implants: lawyer

Home / World
Paris. About 1,000 South American women plan to sue French firm PIP over the potentially faulty breast implants the company supplied to about 300,000 women across the world, their lawyer said Tuesday, cited by AFP.
Lawyer Arie Alimi said about 500 Argentinian women and an equal number from Venezuela were planning to be civil plainitffs in the probe by French police into PIP and its founder Jean-Claude Mas.
The probe is expected to lead to a court case to be held in the southern French city of Marseille later this year.
PIP allegedly used an illegal industrial-grade gel that investigators say has led to abnormally high rates of ruptured implants.
France, Germany and the Czech Republic have recommended that the devices be removed as a precaution but Britain has said it will not follow suit.
Thirteen countries in Europe and Latin America have urged women to have a checkup. In two of them — Bolivia and Venezuela — the state is offering operations to have the implants removed, but has not made this a recommendation.
In contrast, Australia says it found no evidence that the implants posed a risk.
More than 450 lawsuits have been filed in three countries, and French police have placed PIP and its 72-year-old founder under investigation.
Recently I posted tips and advice for losing weight this year. It is not only important to focus on exercising regularly and eating right, but it is also important to avoid the foods that will set you back in your weight loss plan. Here are recommended foods to avoid while you work on shedding those pounds?
- Sugary Drinks: One of the biggest culprits in the weight gain department are sugary drinks like regular soda and fruit punch. Either go for the diet soda or avoid soda altogether and drink water.
- Potato Chips: A favorite amongst snack foods, potato chips are filled with fat and cholesterol and can quickly pack on the pounds. Snacking in general tends to be dangerous since people don’t view it the same (in terms of their daily food intake) as their regular meals, but can be the main culprit in weight gain.
- Regular Beer: While beer in general (including light beer) should be avoid while dieting, if you want to have a beer go for the light beer instead of regular.
- Unprocessed Red Meats: A study conducted by Harvard showed that unprocessed red meats were one of the top culprits when it comes to weight gain. Red meat is okay in moderation, but try to get your protein from beans / lentils or elsewhere.
- Any of these foods: We all know fast food is bad for you, but certain fast food items (in moderation) can be okay. However, Men’s Health posted an interesting article that shows the 20 worst foods in America. Avoid these at all costs!
One of the more popular New Year’s Resolutions is shedding those extra pounds you might have added on during the holiday season. This is why regular gym-goers always have a packed gym in January and, since these resolutions tend to only last for a short period of time, have an empty gym to go to come February. It’s difficult to get back into the exercise routine especially when you haven’t done it for a long period of time. In order to help keep your New Year’s weight loss resolution, I’ve listed some tips to help get you back into shape.
- Substitute “Regular” Food Items with Low Fat: A simple way to shed some pounds is by substituting your favorite fatty foods with low fat or non-fat items. The same goes with drinks. If you drink Coke regularly, have Diet Coke (or water) instead. Read reviews online for brands that make a sufficient healthy alternative to your favorite fatty foods.
- Don’t Stray From Your Gym Schedule: Emergencies happen, but if you can help it avoid missing a day at the gym. This is how most people stop going altogether. One day turns into two, which turns into a week and before you know it you’re not going at all. Even if you’re feeling tired from the work week, find the motivation to get you there.
- Purchase an Exercise Video Game: For those of you who do not want to go a public gym, get a video game that encourages exercising. Games like Wii Fit and Dance Dance Revolution are great for weight loss and also a lot of fun. Those of you who do not enjoy exercising might find this a sufficient alternative solution.
- Ween Yourself Off of Snacks: A big contributor to weight gain is afternoon and nighttime snacking. Those extra bag of chips and cookies add up big time especially if you’re a regular snacker. If you’re used to snacking on a regular basis, it might be difficult to stop altogether so consider substituting those fatty foods with fruits and/or vegetables.
- No Milk & Sugar in Your Coffee: Another simple way to cut down on calories and carbs is by substituting your milk / cream & sugar combination you get in your coffee with skim and sweetener.

Of course the Holidays can bring us some great gifts but they also can bring on extra added pounds we don’t want.
As discussed on Dr. Greenberg’s radio show there are some things you can do to help fight the fat if you went a little overboard on the Holiday Hoopla. Eatingwell.com came out with a great quick list:
Drink Orange Juice- studies suggest that the antioxidant-like compounds in OJ, may offset the heart-damaging effects of a calorie- and fat-laden meal.
Eat Fruit- Eating antioxidant-rich fruits—including berries, grapes, kiwi and cherries—helps minimize the harmful free-radical damage that occurs after a meal.
Drizzle Vinegar- Having a tablespoon of vinegar with your meal, perhaps drizzled on your salad, may temper the spike in blood sugar that occurs after eating a big, carbohydrate-rich meal.
Drink wine- The antioxidants in red wine may reduce the negative impact of high-fat foods by lowering levels of a compound — produced in the body after eating fat — that’s linked with heart disease. Just remember to drink in moderation and do not drink if you are driving.
Add Spices to Your Meals- Researchers think the spice blend may help slow fat absorption-and the antioxidants help mop up harmful free radicals produced when you overeat.

I recently wrote a blog post that discussed so-called “healthy holiday foods” that were anything but. People tend to pack on the pounds during the month of December more than any other month with Thanksgiving just passing (and all those leftovers) as well as Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Years Eve. For those of you looking for healthy options this New Years Eve, I posted a few healthy (and delicious) New Years Eve appetizer recommendations.
- Potato Skins – Potato Skins are delicious, but most people add things like sour cream, bacon, and cheese that tend to make the appetizer very fattening. Try using low fat cheese and sour cream with your potato skin for a delicious and healthy appetizer
- Fresh Fruit – Fruit platters are a simple way and delicious way to satisfy guests on New Years Eve. Get one with a lot of variety and be a hit at any New Years Eve party while still keeping it healthy.
- Eggplant Dip – Eggplant Dip (also known as Baba Ghanoush) is another delicious and very healthy appetizer option containing no cholesterol and being very low in saturated fat.
- Replace the Crackers with Veggies – If you must have an unhealthy dip at your New Years Eve celebration, consider replacing crackers with veggies. You’ll still get to enjoy the deliciousness of the dip, but at a much healthier level.
- Fresh Salsa – Avoid that processed stuff and instead go with the fresh salsa which is packed with veggies.
