The Slim On Fat Loss
Today we are bombarded with faddish diets to help us lose our unwanted bulges or that last ten pounds. Low calorie, then low fat, then high protein, and now low carb. They all claim to help you lose weight quickly, easily and efficiently. They boast “Never Diet Again!” and “Blast Up to 49 Pounds Off in Only 29 Days!” The claims are indeed tempting. Unfortunately, most people who need to lose weight are not succeeding and there is not much scientific evidence to indicate that any of these strategies is consistently effective for most people.
The reality is that it takes a deficit of 3,500 kcal to lose one pound of fat and only a mere 580 kcal to lose one pound of muscle, which is mostly water. So if you have ever lost weight rapidly on a low calorie diet, what you have actually lost is muscle and water - not fat.
So how do we go about losing fat without damaging our body systems or losing muscle in the process? Let me introduce you to four progressive techniques that will help eliminate fat in a safe and effective way.
The first is the revolutionary Zerona LipoLaser ™ that targets fat cells to emulsify them and allows you to detoxify the fat out of your body naturally. The second is food sensitivities and their role in making and keeping you fat. Third is Bioidentical Hormone Therapy used to help balance the endocrine system, allowing the body to mobilize and metabolize fat. Lastly, hCG therapy resets your metabolism and forces your body to remove stored unessential fat.
Some who have struggled with weight may be tempted to try liposuction or a surgical route. But for those who do not wish to have surgery due to risks involved or medical issues that preclude them from surgery…there is a plan B, a new and revolutionary laser therapy that actually emulsifies the fat. It is called the Zerona Lipolaser ™. Zerona Lipolaser™ is painless and requires no incisions, needles, or down time. This procedure is FDA approved for fat loss, body contouring and firming of the skin. In fact, a study done for the FDA proved that patients could lose 4-6 inches of fat after a six visit series. This doctor guided therapy does not damage cells and is very safe and effective at targeting fat. It also works well with areas that are harder to treat with other therapies, such as under the arms, neck and bra-line fat pockets. The results are amazing!
Food sensitivities create inflammation throughout the body as well as disrupt the body’s immune system, brain chemistry, hormone balance, and digestive system causing the body to hold on to unwanted fat. The greatest body of new research on obesity and weight is linked to inflammation processes in the body. In the next few years weight loss strategies will include how to control inflammation.
The best determination of food sensitivity is through the ALCAT Test. A study done at Baylor Medical College determined a 98 percent success rate with weight loss and improvement in body composition when the ALCAT testing and a food elimination diet were implemented.
Endocrine balance is another consideration when dealing with weight loss and metabolism. The use of bio-identical hormones and the hCG therapy are on the rise, and have proven to be very successful in helping to promote weight loss. With certain individuals this may be a missing link that is holding them back from losing those unwanted pounds. By balancing the hormones you can typically see a great reduction in how the body stores fat and an increase in burning fats as fuel.
You can easily see that weight loss is not as simple as reducing calories and increasing exercise. Many misconceptions about weight loss perpetuate the very problem they are trying to solve. Failure to take into consideration the interrelationship of fat loss pathways, food intolerance, and hormone levels leads to many confusing and unsuccessful weight loss plans. With proper detection and uncovering of the complex mechanism for weight loss it is possible to return to a healthy new you and gain control of your weight throughout your life.
