| The
Federal Trade Commission [FTC) and a
number of states' Attorneys General
have successfully brought cases against
marketers of pills claiming to absorb
or burn fat. The FDA has banned 111
ingredients once found in over-the-counter
diet products. None of these substances;
which include alcohol, caffeine, dextrose,
and guar gum,have proven effective in
weight-loss or appetite suppression. |

BEWARE
OF THE FOLLOWING PRODUCTS THAT ARE
TOUTED AS WEIGHT-LOSS WONDERS:
|
|
|
Diet
patches, which are worn on the
skin, have not been proven to
be safe or effective. The FDA
has seized millions of these products
from manufacturers and promoters.
|
| |
|
|
|
"Fat
blockers" purport to physically
absorb fat and mechanically interfere
with the fat a person eats. |
| |
|
|
|
"Starch
blockers" promise to block
or impede starch digestion. Not
only is the claim unproven, but
users have complained of nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach
pains. |
| |
|
|
|
"Magnet"
diet pills allegedly "flush
fat out of the body." The
FTC has brought legal action against
several marketers of these pills. |
| |
|
|
|
Glucomannan
is advertised as the "Weight
Loss Secret That's Been in the
Orient for Over 500 Years."
There is little evidence supporting
this plant root's effectiveness
as a weight-loss product. |
| |
|
|
|
Some
bulk producers or fillers, such
as fiber-based products, may absorb
liquid and swell in the stomach,
thereby reducing hunger. Some
fillers, such as guar gum, have
even proven harmful, causing obstructions
in the intestines, stomach, or
esophagus. The FDA has taken legal
action against several promoters
containing guar gum. |
| |
|
| There
is NO short-cut to weight loss.
Being overweight is a health problem;
therefore, the only right way
to lose weight is to get to the
root of the problem. |
| |
|
| METABOLISM: |
|
|
Your
thyroid plays an important role
in weight control as it determines
the basal metabolic rate (BMR)
of the body. When the thyroid
malfunctions, it may become
under-active or overactive.
When it is overactive, one tends
to be underweight. When it is
under-active, one tends to be
overweight. Often, it is difficult
to detect when the thyroid malfunctions
until the problem become very
severe. The most important nutrient
for the thyroid is iodine, which
is often depleted due to the
consumption of salt (sodium
chloride), white flour products
(bleached by chlorine dioxide),
and exposure to chlorine and
fluorine by-products in the
water. Nature's Gift Kelp provides
organic iodine that is necessary
for the production of thyroxin,
a thyroid hormone, which promotes
weight balance by balancing
metabolic rate.
Rebound
exercise is one of the best
exercise for increasing the
metabolic rate and burning calories.
To burn off 150 calories, you
can walk for 22 minutes, swim
for 10 minutes, run for 6 minutes,
or REBOUND EXERCISE for ONLY
2 minutes!

|
| SUGAR
CONTROL: |
|
| Nature's
Gift Chromium Picolinate provides
an organic source of GTF (Glucose
Tolerance Factor) chromium that
helps to increase the uptake of
glucose into the cells, resulting
in more energy to build muscles
and burn fats, as well as promoting
weight toss. Besides, Nature's
Gift Chromium Picolinate also
helps naturally to suppress cravings
for sweet things. |
| |
|
| WATER
RETENTION: |
|
| Many
people are overweight due to water
retention, which is caused by
certain drugs or excessive sodium
in the cells of the tissues. The
excessive sodium comes from the
intake of table salt, soya sauce,
and other food seasonings. The
healthiest way of combating water
retention is reducing the intake
of sodium and supplement with
potassium. Nature's Gift K-Salt
(which does not contain potassium
chloride) provides a natural source
of potassium supplementation.
|
| |
|
| DIGESTION
& ASSIMILATION: |
|
|
Cooking
food destroys live enzymes which
are needed for the digestion
of the food. Poor breakdown
of food allows poor cell nutrition,
which may lead to cravings or
overeating, causing obesity.
Research has shown that supplementation
with enzymes like Nature's Gift
n.zimes™ PA Plus helps
in the digestion and thus, is
a great help in weight loss.
A
clean and healthy gastrointestinal
(GI) tract is also important
for digestion and assimilation.
Nature's Gift Herbal Klenz and
ImmuFLora are the GI Guards
essential for keeping the intestinal
tract healthy and have contributed
effectively towards weight balance.
