Oh Happy New Years Resolutions to you…

Woman’s First Magazine touts our ”inch loss program” and it’s secret ingredient Leucine, as the amazing amino acid that speeds the burning of fat!!

UCLA research states 33% of woman are not getting enough protein building blocks in their diets!

In particular Leucine deficiencies are often to blame for the buildup of subcutaneous fat!

(the adipose tissue that adds extra layers to the surface of the body!!)

Increased leucine levels signal the body to shed this stubborn surface fat!!!

Are you deficient of this amino acid??

Leucine deficiencies include: fatigue, muscle weakness, cramps, headaches, dizziness, blue moods, irritability, brain fog, frequent infections, slow wound healing.

Want to learn more about our leucine rich weight loss program?

Have Any Liquid Ooomph Lately?

Our healthy weight loss program has many elements to it. 

A signature component and a product I simply adore is our green, red and white tea also called “liquid ooomph”
The FDA prohibits nutritional companies from making medicinal claims regarding this incredibly valuable product, however if you do your research, you will discover that this is a tea that you will want to drink every single day due to the long list of benefits.
Here is the benefits of one nutrient element of green tea – Taurine:

*provides detoxifying properties

*provides antioxidant properties, and guards cellular tissue against toxic substances

*causes fat solubilization

*increases the production of bile in the liver (helps keep bile in a liquid state, and is less likely to form gallstones)

*critical for brain development – is used to treat anxiety, epilepsy, hyperactivity, poor brain function and seizures.

*critical for eye health … a deficiency causes retinal degeneration … adequate amounts of taurine reduce the risk of macular degeneration

*stabilizes cell membranes in electrically active tissues such as the brain & heart. In the heart it strengthens the heart muscle and helps stabilize arrhythmias by keeping potassium and magnesium inside the cells and keeping excess sodium out.

*helps regulate blood pressure and reduces serum cholesterol levels

*acts like a diuretic, without the side effects of pharmaceutical diuretics

*reduces symptoms of Type 1 or insulin-dependant diabetes by strengthening the beta cells in the pancreas

*helps people with cystic fibrosis to digest fats more successfully

*provides respiratory protection and is useful in the treatment of Asthma

FDA Reviews Three NEW Weight Loss Drugs

I don’ t know if this newspaper article offered lousy reporting or what,  but the topic has been noodling in my mind all day.

This week dieters, doctors, and investors will all get their first extensive look at a trio of new weight loss drugs

The hope is that these new drugs can succeed where others have failed by delivering significant weight loss without side effects.

Hmmm read on folks

Obesity is nearing 35% of the population.

How’s that for a staggering statistic ??

expectations for the drug are high

no new drugs have come out in over a decade

the modestly effective drug has blockbuster potential

hmmm moderately effective, so does that mean the blockbuster potential is for the drug companies ?

Not one of the drugs represent a breakthrough in research

seriously?

drug makers have made little headway in understanding and treating the cause of overeating

oh my gosh don’t get me started

two of these nifty weight loss drugs simply combine an anticonvulsant and an amphetamine and have worrying side effects

did i just read that right? how does an amphetamine and an anticonvulsant stop someone from eating McDonalds?

oh and please give me some of those worrying side effects

the third drug is safer but less effective

what about something totally safe and completely effective ?

Weight Loss drugs over the years have had safety issues for years. These drugs get approved by our governing agency only to have them pulled off the market when gee – they find links to heart valve damage and lung problems

HELLO –  these drugs should not have gone to market in the first place!!!!

So the pending drug  Qnexa…

who picks these names?

Qnexa may have met guidelines for a % of weigh loss while on this drug, but had the highest rate of drop out due to memory and concentration problems

hmm lets lose our mind while getting slightly thinner

another drug Contrave shows minimal weight loss and offers you nausea on the side

Lorcaserin messes around with your serotonin, a brain chemical  so you might “feel” groovy, however the incidence of weigh loss is much much less – the FDA calls this weight loss drug that barely helps you lose weight one that is truly novel

I read this and think to myself — do people really buy into this stuff?????

How about safe healthy weight loss?
