Healthy Eating

The Start!

noreply@blogger.com (Cathryn) — Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:10:00 +0000

Healthy eating.... It all started when I did lots of research about keeping my dog and cat healthy and hoping to extend their lives. It occured to me that most of what I read was good for not only cats and dogs but humans too. I would like to share all the infomation about the different foods which I have found that help to keep us healthy and fit.

Coconut Oil Helps Improve Thyroid Function

noreply@blogger.com (Cathryn) — Sat, 24 Aug 2013 21:08:00 +0000

Coconut oil and thyroid function -Does eating coconut oil really help thyroid function?

Many people who are looking into coconut oil may be asking does it really work when it comes to coconut oil and thyroid function but there are studies that show that coconut oil helps thyroid function. If you are unsure based on this, take a look at what coconut oil contains and what effect it has on the body. To do this you need to understand what the thyroid effects and what it does. The thyroid is what controls the metabolism of the body. It is what decides how fast energy and food are processed in the body. Healthy thyroid processes equal a metabolism that promotes body health. Environmental factors also have an effect on thyroid function so you need to take this into account as well.

Coconut oil helps to increase metabolism. This means it helps to increase the processed by which food is processed into energy and those things, which are considered waste products, are removed quickly from the body. This promotes over all health and well being. Many people do not have the energy to cook healthy meals and rely on frozen dinners or fast foods to get by. They do not have the energy even if they can find the time for exercise and as a result the functions of the body slow down including the thyroid. By adding coconut oil to the body you can get the benefits of it when it comes to thyroid function. It is true coconut oil helps thyroid function and there is a direct correlation between coconut oil and thyroid effectiveness.

If you could give your body the energy to exercise even after a long day at work, to cook a good healthy meal instead of having to rely on fast food you would surely see an increase in your health and well being and a decrease in the feeling of tiredness and a decrease in your weight. Maintaining a healthy weight is one of the essential things to having energy, feeling young and being able to do the things that you want to do when you want to do it.

The thyroid is an essential for the body to function correctly and the elements that are found within coconut oil, the MCTs or medium chain triglycerides, the omega-3 fatty acids, the various other nutrients creates the perfect balance needed for the body to reach its maximum potential. There are plenty of research studies and various findings that can tell you the mechanics of how the coconut oil chemically affects the body but the best way to tell if something works for you is to try it and talk to others who have tried it and hear first hand how it has helped them in their lives.

As well as see for yourself how coconut oil can help you in your life. You can cook with it, add it to just about any type of food and you can enjoy all the benefits that coconut oil can bring to your life. Luckily coconut oil has recently become readily available over the internet and you can have it shipped right to your door. It is not difficult to add this to your diet and see the benefits for yourself.

How To Lose Weight With Coconut Oil

noreply@blogger.com (Cathryn) — Fri, 23 Aug 2013 14:02:00 +0000

You can lose weight with coconut oil. It is not hard to do, and it is easy to keep off the weight that you lose.

What if there was a simple change you could make in your diet that would generate sustained weight loss - a change that didn't involve any extra expense, or any extra time, and that had a whole raft of extra health benefits to go with it? Wouldn't that be worth doing?

The fact is, the types of oils and fats we consume can make all the difference to both how we feel, and how fat we become. Different types of oils behave very differently in our bodies, and if we want to look and feel our best, we'd do well to pay attention to the kinds of oils we are consuming.

Just switching from one type of oil to another can be enough for us to enjoy sustained weight loss and better health - and that's how you can lose weight with coconut oil.

When we eat vegetable oils, they are broken down into their component fatty acids and deposited as fat into our tissues. When we need more energy, we burn it for fuel. If we don't need more energy, the fat accumulates in our bodies and we gain weight.

But there are some oils that are not digested like this. Instead, they are routed directly to the liver, where they are converted immediately into energy, in much the same way as carbohydrates are, but without causing a spike in blood sugar.

This difference in how oils are metabolized can open the door to sustained weight loss. Coconut oil is metabolized differently than vegetable oils and that is why it can help you to lose weight easily and for the long-term.

In the past, you may have tried diets to lose weight. They work while you are on them, but mostly, they don't last, and many experts believe that the disruption of our metabolic processes caused by diets can actually result in us gaining weight, instead of losing it. Generally, diets don't work.

But the way our bodies metabolize different types of fat is a constant. It provides an opportunity for us to lose weight, without reducing our calorie consumption.

All we have to do is switch from one type of fat to another. If we keep everything else the same, we will set ourselves on a course to lose weight. Even, if you are currently gaining weight, what this means is that you will gain weight more slowly. Ideally, of course, your weight in now more or less stable, so this change will cause you to lose weight gradually, and over the long haul, without any significant change other than changing the kind of oil that you use.

So what is the change that's needed? It's simple. All you need do is stop cooking with vegetable oils, and start cooking with coconut oil. That's how you lose weight with coconut oil. It's that simple. Here's why...

The chemical structure of coconut oil (it is composed of medium-chain fatty acids) causes it to be metabolized in a completely different way than vegetable oils (they are composed of long-chain fatty acids).

Medium-chain fatty acids promote weight loss because:

* they increase our metabolic rate. Studies have shown that metabolic rate remains elevated even 24 hours after a single meal that contains them. This means that even while we are sleeping, we burn more calories. And that is a truly effective, healthy, and sustainable way to lose weight
* they support sugar metabolism and reduce hypoglycemic symptoms. Many people find they help to control their sugar cravings so they can make other changes they want, without even trying.
* they contain fewer calories per gram than long chain fatty acids
* they support thyroid activity. Long chain fatty acids suppress thyroid activity.

The health benefits of coconut oil extend way beyond weight loss. It is one of the healthiest things you can put into your body. It's the only oil I cook with, and I use it in my skin care products. I recommend to all my clients that they take full advantage of this wonderful beauty food.

Coconut Oil Benefits!

noreply@blogger.com (Cathryn) — Fri, 23 Aug 2013 08:43:00 +0000

Lose Weight by Eating More -- Food that is Virtually Impossible to Store as Body Fat

noreply@blogger.com (Cathryn) — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 06:47:00 +0000

Lose Weight by Eating More -- Food that is Virtually Impossible to Store as Body Fat
By: Marty Gallagher
Certain foods are extremely difficult for the human body to convert into body fat - not impossible but damned near impossible. By consuming calories derived from these foods, the anabolic margin of error is extended dramatically, which means it will be easier to lose fat and gain muscle, if you choose.
Lean protein, protein devoid of saturated fat, has been the staple, the bedrock nutrient of elite athletes for 50 years. Why? You can eat a mountain of lean protein and not get fat - assuming you train with intensity sufficient enough to trigger muscle growth. Lean protein is difficult for the body to break down and digest. As a direct result of this digestive difficulty, the body kicks the metabolic thermostat upward to break protein down into subcomponent amino acids.
The human body wants to preserve stored body fat as a last line of defense against starvation. If overworked and under-fed, the body will preferentially eat muscle tissue to save precious body fat.
Obese people that go on crash diets, precipitously slashing calories, might lose 100-pounds of body weight, yet still appear fat. Despite losing from say 350-pounds to 250-pounds, they still appear fat because they still are fat. The body has cannibalized muscle tissue and saved the fat. Though they might weigh 100-pounds less, they still possess 25-40% body fat percentile.
Lean protein is the bedrock nutrient in the physical renovation process because it supplies muscle tissue battered by a high intensity weight workout with the amino acids needed to heal, recover and construct new muscle tissue. Lean protein is a bedrock nutrient in the physical renovation process because it causes the basal metabolic rate (BMR) to elevate; the metabolic thermostat, the rate at which our body consumes calories, increases when digesting protein. Lean protein is a bedrock nutrient in the physical renovation process because it is damned near impossible for the body to convert it into body fat.
The other bedrock nutrient in the physical transformation process is fibrous carbohydrates: carrots, broccoli, green beans, bell peppers, spinach, cauliflower, onions, asparagus, cabbage, salad greens, Brussels sprouts and the like. Fibrous carbohydrates, like lean protein, are nearly impossible for the body to convert into body fat. Fibrous carbohydrates require almost as many calories to digest as they contain. A green bean or carrot might contain 10-calories yet is so dense and difficult to break down that the body has to expend nearly as many calories to break down that bean or carrot as the vegetable contains.
Fibrous carbohydrates have a wonderful "Roto-Rooter" effect on the internal plumbing: as they work their way though the digestive passageways they scrape mucus and gunk off intestinal walls and help keep sludge buildup to a minimum. For this reason fibrous carbohydrates are the perfect compliment to a lean protein diet. Too much protein can cause bile buildup: fiber is the Yin to protein's Yang. The two nutrients should be eaten together.
Both protein and fiber have a beneficial dampening effect on insulin secretions. It is no accident that professional bodybuilders, the world's best dieters, capable of reducing body fat percentiles to 5% while maintaining incredible muscle mass, construct their eating regimen around protein and fiber.
The best way to eat is to eat often. If you eat 3,000 calories a day the best way is in five 600-calorie feeding or six 500-calorie feedings instead of a breakfast containing 400-calories, a lunch of 1000-calories and a late dinner of 1,600-calories. Avoid calories easily converted into body fat.
Eat multiple small meals in the 400-600 calorie range comprised exclusively of foods near impossible for the body to convert into body fat. Plus, these foods cause the metabolism, the BMR, the body thermostat to elevate in order to digest them. Optimally you should eat every three hours: in about the time the nutrients from the previous meal have dwindled, been expended and exhausted, in about the time the elevated metabolism is 'settling back down to normal,' eat another small protein/fiber meal. This reestablishes anabolism, kicks the metabolism upward once again and gives the body more practice at assimilating and distributing quality nutrients.
They say practice makes perfect and by eating small, power-packed, tough to digest meals every three hours, the metabolism is kept elevated, anabolism is established and maintained and the individual never feels hungry. A person who is not hungry is far less inclined to binge on sweets and treats, junk and trash then the crash diet/calorie cutters who always feel hungry, deprived, listless and lacking energy.
The small meal/protein/fiber approach has been used successfully by elite athletes for decades and is not some untried dietary abstraction - rather it is the proven method of choice, one that has withstood the test of time, one that has been used for decades and been proven effective time after time.
If a person is able to establish a multiple meal schedule comprised primarily of lean protein and fiber eaten every three hours, then adds to this eating schedule some serious weight training and a cardiovascular regimen, physical transformation is a biological certainty.

Not a good week!

noreply@blogger.com (Cathryn) — Sun, 06 May 2012 11:06:00 +0000

Well after a week on the 1200 calorie diet I didn't lose any weight at all. In fact I put a little on, very weird. Really disappointing as I spent a lot of the week feeling hungry. Looks like I shall be spending the rest of the weekend looking for a new diet. Only 11 weeks to go to try and lose at least 21 pounds!

Get Rid of Toxins With Water

noreply@blogger.com (Cathryn) — Wed, 02 May 2012 07:08:00 +0000

Drinking water can help you lose weight. No, this advice is not a tagline from a fancy crash diet or miracle weight loss cure: drinking water will only assist in your weight loss endeavors when combined with proper diet and exercise. However, many people do not realize the importance of water in both their daily lives and their weight loss efforts. Let's talk about why water is so important.

The truth of the matter is that most people simply do not drink enough water. Though the notion that we need at least eight glasses of water every day has been drilled endlessly into our heads (school, advertisements, at the doctor etc.), most people ignore this advice. Have you ever thought about how many glasses of water you drink each day? Probably less than you imagine.

Water is actually considered to be the body's essential nutrient. Our bodies are over 2/3 water, so we need to constantly replenish our body's water supply. Water is also important to our health in the following ways:

Â· Water flushes out toxins

Â· Water regulates the body's temperature (keeps it from getting too warm)

Â· Water protects the bodies joints and organs

Â· Water is the body's natural lubricant

In addition to the abovementioned benefits of water, water helps the body maintain a healthy weight or lose weight. Did you know that often times when you are feeling hungry (particularly between meals) it really means you are thirsty? Drinking a glass of water when you feel hungry can help you assess whether or not your body really needs food or if your body needs water. This can help you balance your eating habits and protect you from overeating and dehydration.

Water helps you reach your weight loss goals in a healthy way. It reduces cholesterol, assists with muscle toning and digestion and promotes healthy liver function. When your body reaches a "water equilibrium" (meaning your body is properly hydrated), your body stops retaining water. This is important because water retention is a major factor in weight gain and the discomfort associated with it.

Need more proof that water helps you lose weight? Just ask researchers. According to a longitudinal study lead by Dr. Brenda Davy of Virginia Tech University in the United States, drinking two eight ounce glasses of water before breakfast, lunch and dinner increases your chances of both losing weight and keeping that weight off in the long-term if you keep up the process. Water acts as a healthy appetite suppressant and proper hydration helps you avoid unwanted water retention. Together, these two features make the rest of your weight loss program (diet and exercise) more efficient.

Drinking water alone will not help you lose weight if you are not willing to eat healthy or exercise. However, you will find that all of your efforts go much more smoothly if you increase your water intake and keep your body hydrated. If you feel as though you are stuck in a weight loss rut, try adding more water into your daily routine-your body probably needs it! www.masteryourlifepower.com

Calories!

noreply@blogger.com (Cathryn) — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 12:05:00 +0000

Well it's Monday and I've decided to start on the 1200 calorie a day diet. I've downloaded (my fitness pal app) to help me with calorie count. Only 12 weeks now until my holiday and hoping to lose at least 1/2 stone. I thought I would see how this goes for a few weeks and take it from there.

Blood Group Diet

noreply@blogger.com (Cathryn) — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 12:28:00 +0000

I've been reading about the blood group diet recently. I'm A Positive and it tells me that a vegetarian diet goes with that. Funnily enough I am a vegetarian. Also it states that the drinks which are good for me are coffee, red wine and green tea, how lucky red wine and coffee are my favourite drinks. Looks like it works automatically, lol. Has anyone tried the diet fully to lose weight, if so how did you get on?

New Diet Needed

noreply@blogger.com (Cathryn) — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 13:14:00 +0000

Just booked my summer holiday and have about 3 months to lose a further 2 stone. Since I started dieting at the end of February 2011 I've lost almost 4 stone. If anyone knows of a way to lose 2 stone in a short space of time and easy to keep to please could you let me know, thank you. I'll keep you informed how I'm getting on.

Back on track!

noreply@blogger.com (Cathryn) — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 07:47:00 +0000

Well back to my diet after 3 days off celebrating 3 years of married life. Surprisingly I didn't actually put any weight back on which was good as I had pizza on Saturday, pasta and cheese rolls Sunday at our alldayer, and a few extra bits on Monday. Hopefully I shall manage to lose the last 21 pounds before the end of the year!

Is Fruit Juice Healthy?

noreply@blogger.com (Cathryn) — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 11:35:00 +0000

All the advertisements on TV rave about how healthy orange juice and other juices are for us. We have been blasted by these commercials for years and most of us strongly believe this to be true.

Fruit juice may have up to 8 teaspoons of natural sugar in an eight ounce glass. This is not added sugar but the natural fructose. What may not be natural is squeezing juices. Fruits are meant to be eating whole in their natural state.

Fruit juices have many healthy nutrients and vitamins that are beneficial. Are these benefits being surpassed by the quantities of sugar in them?

Sweet drinks are linked to preschool obesity whether they are Kool-Aid or natural juices. Preschoolers are better off snacking on whole fruit.

One Head Start program banned juice as an anti-obesity effort after finding one out of five students were obese.

The American Academy of Pediatrics states that toddlers and preschool aged children should be limited to just 4-6 ounces of fruit juice per day. The APP states that fruit juice offers no nutritional benefits over whole fruit.

If you consume fruits whole in their natural state you consume them with the natural fiber and other ingredients that checks sugar absorption.

It is important for you to restrict your intake of fruit juices especially if you have any of the following problems.

• High Blood Pressure
• Overweight
• Diabetes

Whole fruits are healthy but you may still want to eat them in moderation if you have any of the above issues. Whole fruits are more desirable then juices in any case.

Some of the healthiest fruits are berries specifically blueberries as their sugar levels are lower than most fruits and they contain an abundance of antioxidants.

So remember juices are high in calories and low in fiber. This will leave you hungry while rapidly adding excess sugar unnecessary. Sometimes just eliminating sugar water, pop, and juices will bring fantastic results.

If you want to try juicing stick with vegetables as they are lower in sugars than fruits.

Most of us have grown up thinking that fruit juice is one of the healthiest things for us. We may need to reconsider this. And then there are fruit drinks which aren't even 100% fruit juice. Just keep in mind that many commodities being sold are produced to make capital not to enhance your health.

You want to make intelligent informative decisions. Do research whenever you can. You can certainly track down a lot of relevant information on search engines but you will have to decide how correct this advice is.

Instead of grabbing calories in a bottle consider a fresh piece of delicious fruit. Blueberries are one of the top quality fruits containing plenty of antioxidants while maintaining lower sugar content then most other fruits. I find that nature knows best when it comes to nutrition. I still have not found that tree with quarts of OJ hanging from it.

Well now I can't wait to bite into that delicious crunchy apple!

Daily Diet!

noreply@blogger.com (Cathryn) — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 06:49:00 +0000

It's day 6 of the combined weight watchers, dark chocolate and red wine diet. I've been having a maximum of 22 points a day but try and stop at 20. To make it easier for the first week I have more or less had the same for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. For breakfast I have all bran with 2 ounces of strawberries, 2 ounces of blueberries, half a small banana, an ounce of linseed/flaxseed and a little skimmed milk with a coffee. Lunch is usually 2 slices of toast (weight watchers bread) with marmite and a salad. As Tues - Thursday I get up at 5 am I have been having a weight watchers yogurt with a little porridge oats mid afternoon. Dinner is a weight watchers wrap with low fat cottage cheese, lettuce, cucumber and salsa, followed by 5 squares of dark chocolate and a glass red wine. If I have any points left I sometimes have a weight watchers biscuit. I think on the whole it's a good healthy diet. Also I have been using the wii fit plus most days and exercise for at least 30 mins. Hopefully I shall have lost a few pounds when I weigh myself Saturday morning.

Dark chocolate and red wine!

noreply@blogger.com (Cathryn) — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 16:31:00 +0000

Well I thought this diet seemed too good to be true. One or two glasses of red wine every night with dark chocolate but looks like I was wrong. I have been dieting since February and managed to lose 43 pounds for my holiday at the end of July. I started on the slim-fast and lost about 16 pounds then I went on the weight watchers points losing the rest of the 43 pounds in time for my holiday. The weight watchers seemed to almost come to halt after the holiday so I started on the dark chocolate and red wine in hope of losing more weight for the alldayer we are having next Sunday. To my surprise after just 2 nights I had lost 3 pounds, hope it keeps working!

Loads of benefits, not only the weight loss!

Diets That Work For Weight Loss and Diets That Don't Work For Weight Loss

noreply@blogger.com (Cathryn) — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 12:31:00 +0000

1. Principles that work

The first principle is that the diet must be high in protein.

High in carbs and high in fat just aren't healthy options. Protein is powerful simply because it is truly part of who you are. You're body is made up of proteins. Protein in meals supercharges your metabolism. It knocks out hunger by suppressing appetite. It's a must in any weight loss diet.

The second principle is that the diet needs to effectively spread out the calories in smaller meals and if possible, front-load those calories earlier in the day. If you eat 2 or 3 big meals a day, your digestive system won't be efficient. It just won't happen. It get backed up. It's much better to eat the same amount of calories, but in more frequent, smaller meals. The added digestive efficiency will help go a long way towards weight loss. Also, if possible, move more of those meals to earlier in the day so your body doesn't become desperate for cravings in the afternoon and after dinner.

2. Principles that don't work

Starving yourself is the first principle. Starving yourself down-regulates your metabolism. Your body will cling to the foods that you do eat. End result... those foods become bodyfat. It's a bodily survival mechanism that's thousands of years old. Don't fight it. Any weight you lose through starvation will pile back on you within a few weeks or months.

The second principle is to NEVER drink your calories, except for in protein shakes. Most liquid calories are empty sugar calories. They're 100% USELESS to you and your body. If you need that sweet taste, use Stevia packets to sweeten your water. They work great and allowed me to stop drinking sodas in 3 days. I haven't looked back too.

Weight loss really isn't that complicated of a thing. I just gave you 2 principles of diets that work for weight loss and 2 principles of diets that don't work for weight loss... use them because they'll take you pretty far.

Weight Loss Diet An Overview Of Rapid Weight Loss

noreply@blogger.com (Cathryn) — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 09:56:00 +0000

Excess weight can cause a number of health problems, including those of self image and worth. Although the health risks are reduced when somebody starts to lose that excess weight, it is the self-confidence and self-esteem returning that is the most noticeable. It is for this reason that so many people are searching for a rapid weight loss method that will trim down those fats and get a super slim head-turning body. Regular exercise and a healthy nourishing diet are also going to be part of this plan of action. Exercise should be regular and ordered with at least fifteen minutes per day doing anything that is good for cardiovascular health, like swimming, running, brisk walking and even dancing.

It ought be remembered that despite the number of rapid weight loss diet plans around, they won\'t all work with everybody that is on them, there will be different weight loss speeds and levels of success with anyone that uses them. If you discover that your exercise regime and dieting aren\'t supplying the weight loss quickly enough you may need to adjust your regime accordingly. Each person has a unique metabolism and when a particular plan isn\'t proving a success, it does not mean that success cannot be found with another dietary plan.

Exercise plans must be fit each person so if walking is all that can be done, then walk. Although, try to improve the pace you walk at as your diet progresses, not forgetting that you will look better when your fat is changed into muscle. Drinking fluids regularly throughout the day is essential. Drink plenty of water on your rapid weight loss program, at least 8 large glasses daily and remember it also flushes out poisons from the body. Getting rid of fried foods from the dietary plan should almost go without saying as the fat content in these foods is incredibly high and in some cases, this will include certain fish too.
Wherever possible have your food grilled as virtually all of the fat is destroyed, if not all of it so it\'s much healthier. We all want energy to execute daily tasks, and more if we do physical activities, so do not stop eating carbohydrates otherwise you will discover yourself exhausted all the time. Generally speaking a plan like this can enable somebody to lose around a pound each day as it is based on a diet of between one thousand to fifteen hundred calories on a daily basis.

Weight loss testimonial: Hi my name is Edward and I lived a miserable life since I was thirteen years old when our family was torn apart by the divorce of my parents. The fact that I was no longer going to live with my Father again drove me into serious depression; I could no longer concentrate in my studies in school, I cold no longer see the value of live and I even contemplated suicide. My mum was always by my side to encourage me and my seven year old sister but that was not enough, the question I always asked her is why she had to separate with my Dad, the question I slept with and woke up with every single day.

This state of mental stress and depression caused me to gain a lot of weight since I was living in denial and the only way I would feel better was through eating, until I got to a point where all I could think about is food and the more I eat the more I gained weight. The situation was serious because I gained over sixty pounds in five months without me noticing it, my grades in school went from bad to worse to a point where my teachers became concerned and I had to be taken for counseling and physical fitness classes immediately.

Weight loss surgeries vs. diet pills – which are safer?

noreply@blogger.com (Cathryn) — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 13:25:00 +0000

When it comes to successful weight loss you want to follow a route that is stress free and painless, which is why being able to find a weight loss supplement that can offer you long term weight loss results is so important.

Especially when the other common alternative is surgery.

Look on the web and you will commonly find 4 types of weight loss surgery. Each of them risky and painful.

Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG) – here the stomach is stapled into 2 parts, with the upper part being made smaller to reduce space for food.

Once the food arrives it is passed into the lower pouch through a small opening. To prevent the hole from expanding, a band is put in place to stop it stretching.

RISKS: the band is prone to wearing; the staple line can breakdown and in some cases stomach juices have leaked into the abdomen causing infection and even death.

Laparoscopic Gastric Banding (Lap-Band) – intended only for people who are 100lbs overweight, this device works by placing an inflatable band around the upper part of the stomach.

The band itself can be altered in size by changing the amount of salt there is in the saline solution in the band, but overall this band is intended to be permanent.

RISKS: can lead to nausea, vomiting, heartburn, abdominal pain, band slippage and pouch enlargement.

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RGB) – during this surgery, the surgeon makes the stomach smaller by stapling it and creating a smaller pouch. This pouch is then attached to the middle past of the small intestine.

The reason they do this is to one, limit how much you eat and two, to reduce the number of nutrients that are absorbed into the small intestine.

RISKS: offers the risk of ‘dumping syndrome’ where food moves too rapidly through the small intestine. Other side effects include – nausea, weakness, sweating, faintness, diarrhoea, infection, leaking, pulmonary embolism, gall stones and nutritional deficiency.

Biliopancreatic Diversion (BPD) – this is a highly risky surgery that is rarely used. Here surgeons remove a large part of the stomach, limiting food and stomach acid production. This small pouch is then connected to the final segment of the small intestine. A common channel is kept to allow bile and pancreatic digestive juices to mix with the food before it enters the intestine.

RISKS: nutritional deficiencies.

As you can see each of these surgeries comes with risks. Risks that are impossible to ignore when there are other natural alternatives available.

Now as we say this there are of course weight loss supplements on the market which can cause similarly unpleasant side effects to these surgeries. To name just a few: Alli, Reductil and Xenical - each of these can cause unpleasant, negative side effects.

Then there is the fact that they can only be used for a limited amount of time. Varying from 3 months to a year, for those seeking long term weight loss results, such dietary pills as these just cannot help.

Yet there is hope.

Natural fat binders such as Proactol™ can offer you an easier route to weight loss without any of the risks of bogus pills or surgery.

100% organic and side effect, Proactol™ is clinically proven to help consumers reduce their dietary fat intake by 28% whilst also suppressing their appetite. The perfect combination for taking control of your weight loss, without ever having to worry about your body. It is risk free.

And compared to most weight loss pills you’ll find online, Proactol™ comes highly recommended as natural weight loss supplement within the media.

To date it has been featured in the Telegraph, the Daily Mail, the New York Times and most recently in bridal magazine YouAndYourWedding where they teamed up with Proactol™ to offer users a free trip to a Champney spa.

So offer your body a natural solution to weight loss, free from all risks.
