Natural and Healthy Weight Management Solution -
The Holistic Way Part
1 of 2 -- Part 2 You may have been on many diets and you may have even spent hundreds
of dollars trying to lose weight with pills, powders, herbs, high protein
diets, low-fat and no-fat diets, packaged foods, weight loss clinics, and
the list goes on and on. Chemicals, such as pesticides, dyes, pigments,
perfumes and flavorings--to which humans are exposed on a daily basis--may
alter
metabolic functions and promote weight gain, according to Dr. Paula
Baillie-Hamilton, M.D., Ph.D. Toxins that affect hormones, neurotransmitters
and other control mechanisms may upset the balance that helps maintain
healthy body weight. more...
Dr. Baillie-Hamilton MD - "Once organophosphates get into your
body, chances are they will proceed to damage your weight control systems,
making it just that little bit harder to lose weight in the future."
Synthetic chemicals, which have been used to fatten up animals for meat
production by reducing their ability to use their own existing fat stores,
also contribute to weight gain in humans. Animals fed low doses
of organophosphates gain weight on less food. While their use as growth
promoters in meat production has been banned after research found them
highly toxic, organophosphates remain a common pesticide and are used in
the manufacture of gasoline additives, lubricating oil, and rubber.
Most people who struggle with an overweight condition blame themselves
for lack of discipline or willpower but environmental health specialist
Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton, M.D., Ph.D. explains how chemicals in pesticides,
plastics, cosmetics, cleaning solvents, and many other common products
build up to toxic levels in our bodies and break down our natural defenses
against disease. There is scientific evidence that links chemicals to a
host of chronic illnesses including obesity and or sudden weight
gain.
An environmental health specialist at Stirling University in Scotland,
Baillie-Hamilton
M.D., explains how toxins may be
linked to dozens of serious health problems, including immune system diseases,
neurological disorders, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, cardio-vascular
diseases, cancer, hyper-sensitivity, obesity, musculoskeletal disorders
and childhood health problems. "These chemicals are simply not going
to go away," Institute reports "pesticides are a likely cause of
immune suppression for millions of people throughout the world" and that
25% of the chemicals in the environment are neurotoxins linked to increased
incidence of brain disease. Without a nutritionally rich diet that nourishes
and assists the body in cleansing these substances from the body, the body
will lose its strength and vitality. Dr.

Dr.
Mark A. Hyman, M.D - "For decades, people were warned to avoid fats
at all costs. But we now know that the type of fat you eat is more important
than the amount of fat you eat. The new science
of nutrigenomics traces the biological impact of good fats, like the
omega-3
fatty acids (contained primarily in fish, fish oils, walnuts, flax
and hemp seeds, and a limited number of other foods) - and bad fats, like
processed vegetable oils and the trans-fats in many processed foods. The
recommendation to eat foods high in omega-3 fatty acids is old news. What's
new is the discovery of the weight-loss secret behind that recommendation.
We now know that good fats turn on your body's fat-burning genes and bad
fats turn them off. When you consume EPA or DHA, both omega-3 fatty acids,
they access a metabolic gateway (the PPAR receptor) to activate genes that
increase your metabolism, help you burn fat, and assist you in processing
sugar more effectively so food won't get stored as fat. At the same time,
unhealthy
trans-fats act as a metabolic roadblock to weight loss. Controlling
your brain chemistry by eating good fats and avoiding bad fats can help
you curb your appetite and boost your health. But it's just one of the
seven metabolic keys to weight loss. The
Right Fats Can Make You Thin for Life
The
thyroid hormone plays an integral role in regulating your body's metabolism.
Hypothyroidism,
a condition in which not enough thyroid hormone is produced, is one of
the most under- diagnosed conditions that I've seen. It affects over 10,000,000
Americans, and is a leading cause of weight gain. One of the more common
causes of hypothyroidism is an allergy to gluten (a protein found in wheat,
barley, rye, oats, spelt, and kamut). People who are allergic to gluten
react in different ways, including suppressing the body's production of
the thyroid hormone. This leads to a dramatic slowdown in metabolism. Thyroid
Health: A Key to Weight Loss
Stress Makes You Gain Weight, Relaxing Makes
You Thin. Under any physical or psychological stress, the body is designed
to protect itself. It stores calories and conserves weight. It pumps hormones
into the system that increase blood fats, sugar and insulin to prepare
the body for 'fight or flight.' Without eating more or exercising less,
stress alone will cause weight gain and lead to diabetes.
Active relaxation turns on nerves that reduce inflammation, increase fat
burning and give the body the ability to control blood sugar. Healing
Depression and Overcoming Stress, The Natural Way
Without
detoxification and a nutritionally
rich diet that nourishes and assists the body in cleansing these
substances from the body, the body will lose its strength and vitality.
The immune system will become suppressed, contributing to an increase in
illness, disease and excess body fat - a major killer in America today.
These chemicals and toxins accumulate over time, and cause the liver and
kidneys to become overworked and weak. Research has shown that stress
causes the adrenals to release excess cortisol, a stress hormone that triggers
over-indulgence in simple carbohydrates: chocolate, candy, sodas, and ice
cream, even when you are not hungry. Excess cortisol contributes to hormone
imbalances. Most people who struggle with an overweight condition blame
themselves for lack of discipline or willpower. While good eating habits
are important, the real problem has to do with a much larger issue, our
food supply.
Detoxify the liver so it will properly
metabolize sugars and fats. Toxins from within our bodies and toxins from
our environment both contribute to obesity. Getting rid of these toxins
and boosting the natural detoxification system is an essential component
of long-term weight loss and a healthy metabolism." The

Douglas Lisle, Ph.D. - "Once in awhile, a person may actually
become aware of important dietary knowledge. Despite the tremendous commercially-motivated
misinformation campaigns waged by the dairy, cattle, and processed food
industries, sometimes a person actually comes to understand the truth about
diet. At such times, determined individuals might attempt to change their
diet toward whole natural foods—in spite of dire and unfounded warnings
from their families, friends, and doctors. But along the way, they are
likely to be met with a formidable obstacle—their own taste neuro-adaptation

polished rice, and synthetic fats. He also carefully laid out the guidelines
for a natural unrefined diet that would be suitable for modern Americans.

elements, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, enzymes and cellular
materials, marine phytoplankton promotes and maintains optimum health by
boosting and supporting all systems within the body. Its antioxidants and
unique polysaccharides can halt the genetic mutations that can lead to
cancer. Both high levels of saccharides and adaptogens increase energy

Dr.
Miller's Iaso Detox Weight Loss Tea is much more effective than Chinese
Green Tea. Just drinking the Iaso Tea regularly often results in
a reduction in the amount of stored fat in the body, and a significant
reduction in the size of the abdomen or belly. For some people, the weight
loss has been achieved quickly and rather dramatically, but individual
results will vary. When the excess weight is actually from impacted fecal
matter stuck to the inside wall of the colon and small intestine, no amount
of dieting or fat loss or exercise can reduce the size of the belly.
But Holy Tea can! If you have bloat, midriff bulge, or a "beer belly" then
Holy Tea can help you shed pounds and lose inches around your waist.
Dr. Miller's Iaso Detox Tea ingredients include persimmon
leaves which can inhibits weight gain and lowers lipid levels.

While visiting my family after Christmas of 2006 my wife and I had been
telling my brother about how much weight we had slowly but surely managed
to put on since we turned 50. He mentioned he was having trouble
staying below 200 lbs. My family is not large in stature. In
fact, the men are a bit below average in the 5' 8" to 5' 10'' range so
our ideal weight as a young adult should be between 140 and 150 lbs.
I am now 56 and most health sites show my ideal weight at my age
to be 161 lbs (weight/height/age
example website). When I was in my twenties I weighed between
141 and 145 lbs so I think 161lbs is realistic. My wife is only an
inch shorter at 5'7" and the same site shows her ideal weight to be 136
lbs. At the time we started our research to plan our diet I weighed
187 lbs and my wife weighed 150 lbs. I need to lose 25 lbs and she
needed to lose 14 lbs to reach our ideal weight.
Living on the Gulf Coast gave us a low cal resource in seafood, but
we both love to eat and try out new recipes! We were shooting for
a balanced diet concentrating on portion control. Reducing portions
seemed the simplest way to reduce weight. The same weight and health
sites showed if I kept my calorie count under 1552 calories a day and my
wife kept hers under 1275 calories a day we would steadily lose weight.
We also became religious in reading calories/serving on everything
before purchasing or eating it. We chose fruit to supplement between
meals and for breakfast, and low cal snack foods like rice cakes and pork
chicharrones after work, but before dinner. We knew we were not going
to see results quickly but steadily. This was, in fact, the case.
After a month on our portion control diets I had lost 10 lbs, and my wife
had lost 5 lbs with slight variation day to day depending on our meal plan
which was to be expected. We had figured from the start that it would
take us about three months to reach our goal of ideal body weight.
The biggest problem we had during the first month was feeling really
hungry prior to mealtime. Researching the web I ran across a site
that talked about bee pollen as a whole food source so we tried it and
found it seemed to help a bit with feeling so hungry before meals.
It was during this research on bee pollen that I ran across Shirley's Wellness
Cafe site, and watched a video
on a new whole food product called Frequensea. The product contained
phytoplankton which contains all the nutrients required ( the list is huge)
to sustain a healthy body. We had been going to our local health
food store for many years purchasing organically plant derived liquid minerals
and vitamins to supplement our diet. We rarely catch the colds or
flu's that come around every year. However, we were so intrigued by the
video, we decided to try the product since we figured if it contained
all these nutrients we could just take it daily instead. We would
try it for a month and see what happened.
We
received our Marine Phytoplankton Frequensea
order which instructed that you should take between 1/2 - 1 ounce
daily. We decided to go for the lower dosage of 1/2 ounce daily.
The next day I heard my wife say from the bathroom in a very excited voice
that she lost 5 lbs. Shocked and skeptical I told her she had to
be wrong! I checked the scales which also measure body fat and water
to ensure she was not mistaken and got her to step on the scales again.
Well, there it was! She had dropped from 145 lbs to 140 lbs in one
day! I congratulated her and didn't really think about it again until
I stepped on the scale later on that morning. I had lost 6.5 lbs
dropping from 177 lbs to 171.5 lbs! I was so excited I called her
at work to tell her! I had her check her weight on the scales in
the nurse's office at the school in which she is the Media Specialist,
and it was the same. Hallelujah!
Prior to taking the marine phytoplankton, we had seemed to hit
a period where we were not making as much progress, but we felt that was
to be expected. The variance was always a pound to a pound and a half for
me and one to two pounds for my wife. I think this is normal as women
have more water weight issues than men do. The real test was the
next few days to see if the weight remained steady. Over the next
few days our weight varied only slightly depending on what we ate
such as seafood vs beef. As far as the rather dramatic
weight loss after the first dose the only thing we can figure is that something
in the Frequensea helped our bodies reach a state of metabolism we had
never reached before.
In addition, we discovered over the next few days that we weren't
nearly as hungry between meals. We could go much longer and not even
think about food. By the time we felt hungry it was already noon!
Not only did we get this added benefit, but we felt better overall, and
our energy level increased significantly. As of February 15th I had
lost 17 lbs at 169.5 lbs. I can't imagine not taking Marine Phytoplankton
as a whole food supplement to ensure good health as my mind is sharper
and I feel energized. It is the first thing I think about each morning.
I don't know if it will help everyone lose some extra unwanted weight,
but I know it has helped us achieve a sense of completeness and well
being that we have never experienced before." John

How stress affects your digestion and weight - Perhaps
the most important cause of obesity is something that we all face – the
everyday stress of modern life. When under chronic
stress, your adrenal glands overproduce the hormone cortisol. Although
cortisol is necessary in normal amounts, an excess of this stress hormone
can create a cascade of harmful side effects, many of which can cause weight
gain – no matter how vigilantly you diet or exercise! Cortisol causes:
Activation of fat-storage hormones and enzymes.
Conversion of protein in the body into unwanted sugar and fat.
Halt in secretion of fat-burning human growth hormone (hGH).
Accumulation of dangerous 'apple-type' abdominal fat.
Increase in appetite and cravings for sweet and fatty foods.
Progressive insulin resistance, which leads to type II diabetes, hypertension,
cardiovascular disease, and the other health risks associated with obesity
Dr Barry Durrant-Peatfield - "It has been known since the
latter part of the 19th century that certain communities, notably in Argentina,
India and Turkey were chronically ill, with premature ageing, arthritis,
mental retardation, and infertility; and high levels of natural fluorides
in the water were responsible. Not only was it clear that the fluoride
was having a general effect on the health of the community, but in the
early 1920s Goldemberg, working in Argentina showed that fluoride was displacing
iodine; thus compounding the damage and rendering the community also hypothyroid
from iodine deficiency." The
Effects Of Fluoride On The Thyroid Gland
Many
dietary
oils can negatively affect thyroid health. We cook with them almost
every day and they are plentiful in commercially prepared foods. Expeller-pressed
or solvent-extracted oils only became a major part of the American diet
in the last century. It is possible they are among the worst offenders
when it comes to the thyroid. They are known as vegetable oils or polyunsaturated
oils. The most common source of these oils used in commercially prepared
foods is the soybean.
Large-scale cultivation of soybeans in the United States began after
World War II and quickly increased to 140 billion pounds per year. Most
of the crops are produced for animal feed and soy oil for hydrogenated
fats such as margarine and shortening. Today, it is nearly impossible to
eat at restaurants or buy packaged foods that don’t have soy oil in the
ingredients. Often labels simply state “vegetable oil.”
Ray Peat Ph.D -
"Their
[polyunsaturated oils] best understood effect is their interference with
the function of the thyroid gland. Unsaturated oils block thyroid hormone
secretion, its movement in the circulatory system, and the response of
tissues to the hormone. When the thyroid hormone is deficient, the body
is generally exposed to increased levels of estrogen. The thyroid hormone
is essential for making the ‘protective hormones’ progesterone and pregnenolone,
so these hormones are lowered when anything interferes with the function
of the thyroid. The thyroid hormone is required for using and eliminating
cholesterol, so cholesterol is likely to be raised by anything that blocks
the thyroid function. There is a growing body of research concerning soy’s
detrimental affect on the thyroid gland. Much of this research centers
on the phytoestrogens ("phyto" means plant) that are found in soy. In the
1960s when soy was introduced into infant formulas, it was shown that soy
was goitrogenic and caused goiters in babies. When iodine was supplemented,
the incidence of goiter reduced dramatically. However, a retrospective
epidemiological study by Fort, et al. showed that teenaged children with
a diagnosis of autoimmune thyroid disease were significantly more likely
to have received soy formula as infants (18 out of 59 children; 31 percent)
when compared to healthy siblings (nine out of 76, 12 percent) or control
group children (seven out of 54; 13 percent). When healthy individuals
without any previous thyroid disease were fed 30 grams of pickled soybeans
per day for one month, Ishizuki, et al. reported goiter and elevated individual
thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels (although still within the normal
range) in thirty-seven healthy, iodine-sufficient adults. One month after
stopping soybean consumption, individual TSH values decreased to the original
levels and goiters were reduced in size. (3) Ray
Peat Ph.D., is a physiologist who has worked with progesterone and related
hormones since 1968, says that the sudden surge of polyunsaturated oils
into the food chain post World War II has caused many changes in hormones.
Insulin
Resistance Syndrome and Low Carb Diet More and more people in the U.S. are becoming obese, physically inactive,
or both. Obesity and physical inactivity aggravate insulin resistance.
Also, people who are insulin resistant typically have an imbalance in their
blood lipids (blood fat). In the 1890s, an American doctor, Helen Densmore,
modeled diets on Banting. She tells how she and her patients lost an average
10-15 lbs (4.5-6.8 kg) in the first month on the diet and then 6-8 lbs
(2.7-3.6 kg) in subsequent months 'by a diet from which bread, cereals
and starchy food were excluded. Syndrome
X: The Complete Nutritional Program to Prevent and Reverse Insulin Resistance.
The
No-Grain Diet brings a realistic viewpoint to the problems of weight loss
in a genuine effort to improve the health of an ever-growing number of
obese Americans. Offering a variety of "food plans," along with a set of
techniques aimed at controlling emotional eating and cravings for "bad"
foods, Dr. Joseph Mercola clearly understands how to motivate us--in one
section, he suggests that rather than "living by the scale," we measure
our success in relation to the fit of our favorite pair of slightly-too-snug
jeans. Many recipes are included, most of which are free of the boring
flavor substitutes so common in diet books.
The diet itself combines several familiar concepts. The "no grain" model
emphasizes organic vegetables and quality protein, with limited fruits
and absolutely no simple carbs. Mercola's idea of "quality protein" is
somewhat startling--he is deeply concerned about toxins, and urges grass-fed
beef over potentially mercury-filled fish. His main point is frequently
reinforced: refined grains of any type are basically deadly and eating
them should be viewed as an unhealthy addiction.
"I travelled 3,000 miles to be treated in Dr. Mercola's clinic - he
is a pioneer. There are many of us with gluten allergies and sugars are
surely poisoning all of our bodies. This diet used together with the Metabolic
Typing Diet has me on the road to healing from Fibromyalgia.
An added benefit has been that my Allergies have disappeared and I'm losing
extra pounds." amazon reader

Fat
Land : How Americans Became the Fattest People in the World Childhood
obesity, diabetes, and related illnesses are becoming major health problems
in America. Nutrition journalist Critser presents a critical analysis of
the many social and economic factors that make Americans, contrary to the
book's subtitle, the second-fattest people in the world (the South Sea
Islanders are fatter). He blames parents' reluctance to monitor their children's
eating habits; the marketing tactics of fast-food companies, which influence
us to overeat; the preponderance of fad diets; the phasing out of physical
education programs in schools; and the sale of fast foods at schools to
save money on dining facilities. Lower-income families have higher rates
of obesity regardless of race, ethnicity, and gender, which the author
attributes to lack of information about diet and exercise and the wide
diversity of cultural beliefs about weight, body size, and self-esteem.
Critser urges Americans to tackle obesity head on, concluding with descriptions
of initiatives that worked when communities launched a cooperative effort
to change their eating habits and avoid the path to lifelong obesity. An
important work that belongs in all nutrition and public health collections.

Fats
That Make You Thin (flaxseed
oil and other healthy oils)
It may go against all you've
been taught, but the right kind of fats are your friends when it
comes to weight loss. Good fats provide satiety and stabilize blood sugar
levels, helping you feel full and satisfied for hours instead of minutes.
These healthy fats can even boost the body's metabolic rate and, since
fat is metabolized slowly, decrease the rate at which carbohydrates are
released into your system. It's just a matter of knowing which fats are
good for you and how to get them into your diet.
Flaxoil to help lose weight
"Adding flaxseed oil to
your foods, or taken with a meal, creates a feeling of satiation (feeling
of fullness and satisfaction following a meal). The essential fats in flaxseed
oil cause the stomach to retain food for a longer period of time as compared
to no-fat or low-fat foods. The addition of Flax Oil to food results in
a gradual release of nutritients into the small intestine. The physiological
effect is a slow, sustained rise in blood sugar, then a prolonged plateau
of blood sugar. Ultimately, the blood sugar undergoes a slow and gradual
drop. You will experience a corresponding feeling of prolonged energy,
stamina and satisfaction with no immediate hunger pangs following the meal.
The net result is that you feel fuller, longer and, actually eat fewer
calories in the long run than if you would have chosen a no-fat or low-fat
diet."
Eat
Fat, Lose Weight : The Right Fats Can Make You Thin for Life It may go against all you've

It is my belief that most weight gain is more related to this nation's
over-consumption of fat-free carbohydrates than a result of too much fat.
And while we're over-consuming carbs, we're suffering from a nutritional
deficiency. Yes, believe it. We're not getting enough good fat. Good fats

a corresponding feeling of prolonged energy, stamina and satisfaction with
no immediate hunger pangs following the meal. The net result is that you
feel fuller, longer and, actually eat fewer calories in the long run than
if you would have chosen a no-fat or low-fat diet."

What's
Wrong with Partially Hydrogenated Oils? Unlike butter or virgin
coconut oil, hydrogenated oils contain high levels of trans fats. A trans
fat is an otherwise normal fatty acid that has been "transmogrified", by
high-heat processing of a free oil. The fatty acids can be double-linked,
cross-linked, bond-shifted, twisted, or messed up in a variety of other
ways. Trans fats are poisons, just like arsenic or cyanide. They interfere
with the metabolic processes of life by taking the place of a natural substance
that performs a critical function. And that is the definition of a poison.
Your body has no defense against them, because they never even existed
in our two billion years of evolution -- so we've never had the need or
the opportunity to evolve a defense against them. Partially hydrogenated
oils will not only kill you in the long term by producing diseases like
multiple sclerosis and allergies that lead to arthritis, but in the meantime
they will make you fat! more
Coconut
and Pine Nut Oils: Healthy Choices For Weight Reduction One
of the remarkable things about coconut oil is that it can help you lose
weight. Yes, there is a dietary fat that can actually help you take off
unwanted pounds. Coconut oil can quite literally be called a low-fat fat.
Raymond Peat, Ph.D. -
"The
anti-obesity effect of coconut oil is clear in all of the animal studies,
and in my friends who eat it regularly."
Mary G. Enig, Ph.D - "Coconut
oil has a unique role in the diet as an important physiologically functional
food. The health and nutritional benefits that can be derived from consuming
coconut oil have been recognized in many parts of the world for centuries.
A review of the diet/heart disease literature relevant to coconut oil clearly
indicates that coconut oil is at worst neutral with respect to atherogenicity
of fats and oils and, in fact, is likely to be a beneficial oil for prevention
and treatment of some heart disease. Additionally, coconut oil provides
a source of antimicrobial lipid for individuals with compromised immune
systems and is a nonpromoting fat with respect to chemical carcinogenesis."
Traditionally, polyunsaturated
oils such as soybean oil have been used for livestock
feed because they cause the animals to gain weight. These oils are made
up of what is known as long chain fatty acids--the kind of fatty acids
that promote weight gain. (4)
Coconut
oil, on the other hand, is a saturated fat made up primarily of medium
chain fatty acids. Also known as medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), medium
chain fatty acids are known to increase metabolism and promote weight loss.
Coconut oil can also raise basal body temperatures while increasing metabolism.
This is good news for people who suffer with low thyroid function. There
have been scores of testimonies to this effect.
One happy individual writes:
"I am just now jumping on the coconut oil bandwagon (about three weeks
now) and I’m really starting to feel GREAT! I have suffered from severe
migraines for the past 25 years, the last 15 becoming increasingly severe,
coinciding with the addition of soy and the” low-fat mentality” to my diet.
Nothing helped! I should be experiencing my pre-menstrual migraine by now
and instead I feel like I could climb Mt. Everest! Also I wondered if it
decreased the waist to hip ratio because mine has gone from 7.2 all my
life to 7 (or something like that). I think I had the sluggish thyroid
too, with a low body temperature of between 96 and 96.8. Now it’s starting
to climb for the first time in years. " V. Potter
Miracle
of Coconut oil: Hypothyroidism and slow metabolism A gain in weight
could be the result of hypothyroidism and slow metabolism. t is a known
fact that the fatty acid chains in coconut oil, known as medium chain fatty
acids (MCFAs) or medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), offer wonderful health
benefits and are no where found more abundantly in nature outside coconut
oil. Coconut oil offers much promise today to sufferers of hypothyroidism
and slow metabolism. For the hypothyroid sufferer the MCTs rev up the body's
sluggish metabolism and promote weight loss as well. There are many side
effects of a sluggish thyroid gland and the resulting slower metabolism.
First of all, it effects your energy level greatly, and with a slower metabolism
and subsequent reduction in activity (and energy) there is often unwanted
weight gain.

Many people struggle with
weight gain and a sluggish metabolism most of their lives, and go through
lots of yo-yo dieting unsuccessfully. “So why doesn’t anything really work?”
we may ask. We have been tackling the symptom when we should be addressing
the cause - weight gain is often due to poor liver function. Congestion
throughout the body and a sluggish liver can contribute not only to fatigue
and malaise, but also to weight gain, especially around the abdomen, cellulite,
and water retention.
When we cleanse the liver
and then eat the right foods, liver metabolism will improve and we start
burning fat. As liver function improves, so does energy. With more energy,
fitness improves, because we have the ability to excercise more and improve
our muscle tone. As we cleanse the body, not only will we shed excess pounds,
we’ll also lose some of that lumpy, bumpy cellulite.
Two French physicians, Meus-Blatter
and Laroche, discovered that cellulite is cause by inefficient removal
of wastes from the body. As toxic materials collect between the cells,
they are held by hardened connective tissue where they build up to create
pockets of water, toxins, and fat that give the skin that unsightly peau
d’orange (orange peel skin) appearance. Cleansing the body with high amounts
of raw food, and especially vegetable juices, not only helps flush away
the lumps and bumps, it also raises cell vitality.

Bee pollen works wonders
in a weight-control or weight-stabilization regimen by correcting a possible
chemical imbalance in body metabolism that may be involved in either abnormal
weight gain or loss. The normalizing and stabilizing effects of this perfect
food from the bees are phenomenal.
In weight-loss programs,
bee pollen stimulates the metabolic processes. It speeds caloric burn by
lighting and stoking the metabolic fires. Honeybee pollen is coming to
be recognized as Nature's true weight-loss food. Bee pollen is a low-calorie
food. It contains only ninety calories per ounce. (An ounce is about two
heaping tablespoons.) It offers 15 percent lecithin by volume. Lecithin
is a substance that helps dissolve and flush fat from the body. This is
one reason why bee pollen lowers low-density lipoproteins (LDL) surer and
faster than any other food while helping increase the helpful high-density
lipoproteins (HDL), which science says protect against cholesterol and
heart disease.
By boosting the value of
each nutrient present in the food you eat, bee pollen also eliminates cravings.
Its natural phenylalanine content acts as an appetite suppressant. Phenylalanine
is a natural amino acid that the body requires. It acts on your appestat,
the control center that signals fullness and hunger. Mother Nature knows
what she's about. You just plain won't want to eat as much when you take
bee pollen regularly. When you are overweight, phenylalanine exerts a natural
appetite suppressant effect. When you need to gain weight, the phenylalanine
in bee pollen works in reverse.
The chemical drug in over-the-counter
weight-loss products is a manmade cousin of phenylalanine called phenylpropanolamine,
which chemically depresses the appetite whether you are fat, thin, or just
right. It can also give you the jitters and leave you with a drug-induced
"hangover" and can be addictive. Phenylpropanolamine is a common ingredient
in many decongestants, explaining why one of the side effects of these
products is loss of appetite. Products that include phenylpropanolamine
as an ingredient must by law carry a warning that they should not be taken
by persons with certain conditions, including
thyroid
problems and high blood pressure.

Trying to lose weight is always a challenge, but water can be a valuable
and easily adaptable component of a diet plan. Water acts as an appetite
suppressant and is instrumental in breaking down and reducing fat deposits.
The rate at which we burn calories (our metabolism) is a chemical process
requiring water. We need adequate water to ensure the smooth functioning
of this process. Water helps to flush toxins out our system. The more toxins
in our body the less capable it is of losing weight. If you are dieting,
keep your system functioning properly and maximize weight loss by drinking
plenty of water.
No matter what the specific health or fitness goal, one cannot achieve
the
maximum benefit from any health program without drinking
the right kind of water in the proper amount. All experts agree, that next
to the air we breathe, water is the most important thing we will ever put
in our bodies. It is surprising that so much time and money is being spent
on supplements, organic foods and natural remedies but little attention
is given to the quality and effect of the water with which those items
are taken. Learn

Water is a God-given crucial nutrient for the body. But we have been
hoodwinked into accepting a product that is of progressively more inferior
composition. It is well known that the average city water today contains
over 500 chemicals that do not belong in it. Part of this is due to the
fact that most delivery systems in the U.S. include cement, asbestos pipes,
cast iron, PVC (porous to certain solvents, herbicides and pesticides)
and that lead, cadmium and other toxic metals leach out of valves and couplings
of pipes between a water treatment plant and a faucet in the home.

Water helps to naturally flush toxins and acidic waste from your
body and is a powerful antioxidant. Water is one of the best sources
for detoxification.
Ionized Alkaline Water makes more oxygen available

tap water. Cancer doesn't thrive in an oxygenated body.
Alkaline Ionized Water will help to optimize your
body's pH. You could try to achieve an alkaline state with foods
but alkaline water will turbo charge your efforts. As a result, it
enables your body to better absorb and utilize nutrients, minerals and

to extreme shortness of breath. After just three days of drinking glyconutrients,
she reported that all of her symptoms improved dramatically and that she
was able to leave her house without oxygen and work in her garden, which

The
"Low-Fat" Myth Healthy fats are not the enemy. Fat soluble
vitamins such as A, D, E, & K are worthless without fat. Whole foods
like nuts and seeds contain the essential fatty acids that your body needs
to be healthy. Nutritional fiber is only found in fruits, vegetables,
nuts, seeds, grains, and berries. The acid in your stomach will not completely
dissolve these natural fibers, so eating them fills you up faster and keeps
you full longer. Processed foods contain large amounts of Omega-6
oils which interfere with the body's use of the healthy Omega-3
oils.
The
Excercise Myth To create energy your body burns fat or it burns
blood sugar (glucose), but it can’t burn them both at the same time. When
you’re not doing anything strenuous your body burns fat. When you exercise
into the aerobic zone (70% or more of your max. heart rate) your body will
stop burning fat and instantly begin to burn blood sugar – because blood
sugar can be converted to energy much faster than fat. Aerobic exercise
will burn fat – but only after you’ve depleted your available blood sugar
– which, for most people takes at least 20 to 30 minutes of being in the
aerobic zone. Countless overweight individuals are on the exercise bikes
and tread mills, pedaling and running, until their heart almost pounds
out of their chest but they are not burning fat. The first 30 minutes only
burns off blood sugar – after that you’d need another 30 minutes to burn
any fat. Walking is the best type of exercise for healthy weight loss.
Walking burns fat. Walking also builds lean muscle which “feeds” on the
body’s excess fat. Walk daily, eat whole foods, drink plenty of water,
and turn your body into a healthy, energetic, fat burning machine that
incinerates fat 24 hours a day! more
The monosodium glutamate (MSG) obese rat as a model for the study of
exercise in obesity. Gobatto CA, Mello MA, Souza CT, Ribeiro IA. Res Commun
Mol Pathol Pharmacol. 2002 . I wondered if there could be an actual
chemical causing the massive obesity epidemic, so did a friend of mine,
John Erb. He was a research assistant at the University of Waterloo, and
spent years working for the government.
He made an amazing discovery while going through scientific journals
for a book he was writing called The Slow Poisoning of America. In hundreds
of studies around the world, scientists were creating obese mice and rats
to use in diet or diabetes test studies. No strain of rat or mice is naturally
obese, so the scientists have to create them. They make these morbidly
obese creatures by injecting them with a chemical when they are first born.
The MSG triples the amount of insulin the pancreas creates, causing rats
(and humans?) to become obese They even have a title for the race of fat
rodents they create: "MSG-Treated Rats" .
MSG was in everything! The Campbell's soups, the Hostess Doritos, the
Lays flavored potato chips, Top Ramen, Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper,
Heinz canned gravy, Swanson frozen prepared meals, Kraft salad dressings,
especially the 'healthy low fat' ones. The items that didn't have MSG had
something called Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, which is just another name
for Monosodium Glutamate. It was shocking to see just how many of the foods
we feed our children everyday are filled with this stuff. They hide MSG
under many different names in order to fool those who catch on.
Dr. Russell Blaylock, MD - "What if someone were to tell you
that a chemical (MSG) added to food could cause brain damage in your children,
and that this chemical could effect how your children's nervous systems
formed during development so that in later years they may have learning
or emotional difficulties?"
