. . .
- Gone on a diet?
- Bought exercise equipment?
- Joined a gym?
- Paid to join a dieting club?

There's always someone who is willing to tell you why you're too heavy
. . . isn't there!
Can't you hear 'em right now?
- You eat too much! Just stop eating.
- Start exercising and the pounds will melt away.
- Everyone knows someone who lost weight eating less and exercising more . . . don't they.
What can you do?
Don't start skipping meals or exercising more strenuously!
You may
be making matters worse.
Start Eating and Start Thinking.
There are four reasons why otherwise healthy people are overweight:
- metabolism
- digestion
- prescription drugs
- dietary choices
|

Metabolism
Metabolism is the body's
engine.
During the day,
catabolic metabolism provides the energy for all of the components of alert, waking hours activity. The function, use and overuse of the various components of body during waking hours stresses and damages tissue.
During sleep,
anabolic metabolism provides the energy to replace the 300 billion cells that have worn out as well as any tissue that has been damaged and stressed during the day.
Calories are the measurement of the energy potential of food. Fats and carbohydrates have an energy potential of nine calories per gram; protein has four.
Researchers estimate that 60% to 70% of all calories are used for metabolism.
The body's metabolic furnace has a thermostat that regulates the use of the calories. It moves the "temperature" up and down depending on the need for energy and the availability of calories. Also, it establishes a set point for stored energy (fat) by considering the frequency and quality of the food we eat it controls the storage of fat - putting away energy (calories) in case of famine (periods of low calorie intake).
People with a low metabolic set point, besides being overweight, experience low energy levels and reduced alertness. Often, they are just as tired in the
morning as they were the night before.
Missing meals or eating low quality food triggers two responses: reducing basic metabolism
(both daytime and nighttime) and increasing fat storage.
Trying to lose weight by skipping meals and/or dieting is like creating a
personal famine. It is effective because the calories are taken away faster than the body can reestablish a new set point. However, the body will ultimately establish a new
lower metabolic set
point that matches the lower available calories.
When you stop starving yourself, the body perceives that the "famine" has ended and begins to establish a new set-point. However, because you have started eating again, you are adding calories faster than the thermostat can adjust,
you will gain weight. Worse yet, sometimes the body fails to increase the set point which results in significant fat storage from a modest increase of calories.
Nutraceuticals are helpful to
establish or reestablish a higher day time metabolic set point.
The benefits are controlling appetite, craving, increasing energy, alertness and, because these herbs increase day time metabolism, caloric demand increases and the user experiences weight change.
Night time metabolism is important too! A nighttime Nutraceutical combines amino acids, the building blocks for new tissue, with herbs to establish a higher night time metabolic set point.
Lose Weight While You Sleep
Nighttime nutraceutical supplements address night time metabolismcreating an increase
caloric demand to support the repair and replacement of cells and tissue which leads
to a more toned body,which, in turn, burns more calories and the user experiences weight change.
Plus, there is a sculpting effect" that tones and reshapes the body your cloths will fit
better and as an added benefit is the user will arise refreshed and energized in the
morning Learn more about a Nighttime Weight Management

Digestion
Digestion, often overlooked, may cause people to be overweight. Digestion is not magic - it is a process for turning food into substances that people need to
live - sugars and fats for energy, proteins to sustain the body. The very substances that sustain and benefit the body
that, when poorly
digested, become toxins that can poison your body.
People with inefficient digestion, besides being overweight, describe themselves
as pear shaped, with a distended abdomen.
They experience:
- a bloated feeling after they eat, usually accompanied with gas.
- Poor digestion may contribute to periodic bouts of
constipation and diarrhea.
- Food sensitivity and
heartburn are
other aspects of inefficient digestion.
Digestion is an intricate dance between substances called enzymes, stomach acids and intestinal microbes. One partner preparing food for the next with one
goal ... optimal health. It is an orderly process:
- Digestion begins when you chew the food. Chewing shreds the food in smaller and smaller pieces then mixing it with saliva, which is actually an enzyme called
amylase, begins a process which liquefies the mixture of food.
- After a resting period to allow the food to fully liquify, the liquified
food is treated with stomach acid.
- The prepared liquid is neutralized and delivered to an army of friendly microbes to be converted into nutritional substances which are passed through the intestinal wall to support the body.
- Undigested waste are combined with the the debris of living, recycles then
expelled from the body.
Cooked, preserved and processed food interfere with efficient digestion.
- Essential ingredients for the liquification process are food enzymes which are contained in all of the raw, uncooked food. Processing and cooking neutralizes these essential enzymes which sets off a chain reaction in the digestive system.
- Shredded food is partially liquified, more stomach acid is produced to compensate, the higher than normal acid mixture is partially neutralized.
- Microbial action, that converts the food you eat to the nutrition to support your body and your health, is diminished because the microbes are especially sensitive to acidity (some strains of intestinal microbes may be completely destroyed).
- The mass of undigesting food moves slowly along the intestinal tract and begins to spoil. Sugars and starches ferment, fats become rancid and proteins decay.
- The person puffs up because fermentation fills the body with carbon dioxide. The abdomen distends when important organs swell because they are being bathed in the poisons spilling out of the rotting material in the intestines.
There are three distinct requirements to restore digestion:
- introduce essential enzymes that are lost when food is processed or cooked,
- restore friendly microbial balance,
- restore the timely elimination of wastes.
Supplements play a key role for restoring digestion.
Many people find that addressing both issues
simultaneously, pays dividends when
restoring digestion.
Nutraceutical enzyme supplements, when taken at mealtime, provide the food enzymes essential for the liquification of the food.

enzymes Nutraceutical supplement.
An exciting breakthrough in the industry is the ability grow and prepare friendly intestinal microbes
than can be reintroduced into the body to help restore microbe
populations lost because of agricultural residues, antibiotics and dietary choice.

probiotic Nutraceutical supplement.
If you aren't eliminating wastes, you are storing it.
Regularity, the timely elimination of waste, is often overlooked as a factor for weight gain. Are you 3-6's, 2-9's or 1-18?
The daily elimination of wastes, once, twice or better,
three times each day is a paramount factor for weight
management. Learn more about nutraceutical supplements to
help manage regularity. |

Prescription Drugs
Prescription drugs may cause people to be overweight. Birth control, hormone replacement, blood pressure, heart, diabetes, and anti-depressant medications
often contribute to weight gain. It is important to read all of the materials and follow all of the instructions that accompany the prescription.
The pharmacist provides you with a document that you must read. It describes the drug and the negative side effects that other people have experienced when taking the drug.
The paper instructs you to notify your doctor immediately if you experience one of the side effects. Your doctor has options that may be more appropriate for
your needs.
If you need a prescription drug, take it as instructed by you doctor,
but don't hesitate to ask your doctor if there is a better alternative - many there is.
There are drugs that are elective, notably birth control and hormone replacement therapies.
Do not be surprised if you gain weight. Most of the prescribed drugs in these categories warn users that
other people have experienced weight gain when using the drugs. Because these drugs are elective, you must decide if
you want to be heavy, or not. Investigate other options.
A case in point is hormone replacement therapy. A long term study of a frequently prescribed drug sponsored by the Institute of Health (a part of the Federal
Drug Administration) to verify the effectiveness of this drug was discontinued because of safety concerns in mid 2002. For years, menopausal women have
been taking this pill prescribed by their Gynecologists. The warning about the side effects were there all along, few people paid attention. This impact of this
study has women clamoring for alternatives.
Alternatives for HRT have existed for quite some time. Supplement formulators have developed herbal supplements that smooth normal hormone fluctuations for
women of child bearing years and help ease hormone transition during and after menopause.

for the special needs
of women.

Dietary Choices
Dietary choices are huge factors to consider for controlling weight.
What you eat is as important, if not more important, than how much you eat. For example, researchers devised an experiment that caused laboratory subjects to become overweight eating a calorie-controlled diet. Each group maintained the same exercise level and ate the same number of calories.
One group of subjects was fed a "super market" diet of refined and processed food; the second group received a low fat, high fiber diet. The results of the 60 week study were: 30 % fat for the high fiber, low fat group; 51% fat for the super market group's weight.
Most people have a taste for refined carbohydrates -
table sugar, milk and dairy products, white flour and starches like white rice and potatoes - and, manufacturers know it!
If you cut your portions of these foods by 1/2 you will lose weight - and you
will feel healthier, avoid energy crashes and much more.
Package Products Contain Sugar.
Read the labels of packaged products at the supermarket diet. The first or second ingredient in many of the things we buy is sugar.
White flour is almost as bad. While it may be disguised as enriched or fortified flour, it is a refined carbohydrate just the same.
The trouble is these refined carbohydrates require minimum action by the digestive tract
to be converted into glucose (energy for the body). When these spikes in blood sugar occur
without need for the energy, the body turns much of it into fat. The drop in glucose level
triggers a hunger sensation. This sugar crash is why you eat so often.
Complex
carbohydrates, eaten like they are grown, help keep you less fat.
Natural sugars, such as those in non-tropical fruit, honey, molasses etc. and whole grains require more
digestive action that slows the release of the glucose. The slower, time release aspects of
complex carbohydrates provides a steady, time released source of energy for the body.
There are other issues to consider:
- Water for instance. People need water - period.
Not coffee, not soda, not tea - WATER! At least 8 - 8 ounce glass every day.
People confuse thirsty with hungry all of the time. If people knew the symptoms of dehydration,
one of which being bloating, they could avoid many of the complaints that nag them everyday.
- Fat is another issue. Low fat this and that. What people need to know is
animal fat is the enemy. Oils from vegetables, olive oil for instance, contain essential fatty acids that are just what they say - essential. Nuts oils have similar characteristics.
A common observation is that Americans are obese and, at the same time, they lack the essential nutrients to keep them healthy. More times than not, people mistake obesity with overeating when in fact, they aren't eating enough . . . of the right food.
Harvard University School of Public Health has developed an easy to
understand explanation of what you should be eating to stay fit and health.
Often time providing the nutrition missing from their diet, is the
best weight management program.
Filling the gap between what you are eating and what you should be consuming, with a quality Nutraceutical supplement, helps the body lose weight and gain willpower.
