HCG frauds
Not that I agree with the FDA, EVER, but this made me take a 2nd look! If you cut your daily caloric intake down to 500 calories you are going to lose weight, barring medical issues, period! Studies show that caloric restriction promotes longevity but this is a little extreme from a health standpoint!
Retail HCG diet drugs are frauds, FDA warns
Retail HCG diet drugs are frauds, FDA warns, Retail versions of a popular weight-loss aid that contain trace amounts of a pregnancy hormone are a fraud and are being sold illegally, a top Food and Drug Administration official said. {bnl} HCG diet popular in Valley, but could be risky
SOY... again
Yes, I’m going to talk about “soy” again.
For those of you who continue to think it’s a good thing, soy can actually cause deficiencies of calcium and vitamin D. It is genetically modified with high amounts of pesticides, can cause hormone disruption and hypothyroidism - which means weight gain and fatigue! And no, Asians don’t consume large amounts of soy every day, we do! And we don’t have the ability to digest it sufficiently, which leads to an even more toxic estrogenic overload!
Enough said.

Iodine
Iodine: Don’t leave home without it!
Do you know how important iodine is to your health? While it is found in higher levels in the thyroid, but less commonly known is its importance for the reproductive organs. Plus, it is vital for brain development and maintenance. Fluoride, chlorine, along with bromines (found in bread), nitrates (and nitrites found in meats), prevent us from absorbing iodine. And because it supports the thyroid it can gently increase metabolism. Iodine is a natural protector against all of the electromagnetic interference and disruption that’s caused in the body by all the exposure from cell phones, wi-fi, etc. Want to know more? Call me.
Insulin & How It Makes You Fat
Sugar and other forms of sweeteners, white flour, processed foods, sodas, juices, energy drinks, baked goods, pasta, and snack foods (chips, pretzels, etc.) are categorized as high-glycemic carbohydrates. This means they all rapidly convert to sugar when eaten. These foods cause the pancreas to release insulin to try and control blood sugar levels by driving it into the cells as fuel for energy. If this energy is not used by the cell it is then converted to fat and stored for later use. This holds true regardless of caloric intake! In the presence of high levels of insulin, your body will not burn fat it will store fat and it will start to break down muscle and burn that instead.
Because of the sudden drop in blood sugar the body then experiences a cycle of symptoms consisting of food cravings, mood swings, fatigue, weight gain and signs of aging. It will eventually lead to obesity even though caloric intake is not necessarily excessive. It also creates inflammation on a cellular level causing aging and pain.
If the food doesn’t get to the cells we are literally starving at the cellular level. You then do what your body tells you to do, you eat more! You’re not getting fat because you’re eating more; you’re eating more because you’re getting fat. Most weren’t born with greedy fat cells, but we can make them greedy by eating too many carbs. Your body then releases a lot of insulin to bring the blood sugar down and it can only burn a little at a time, therefore leaving excessive amounts of circulating insulin. Our storage sites for carbs are limited but there is unlimited storage for fat so the body converts it to fat.
Insulin tells your body to store fat if you’re not using it.
Cells can become resistant to the effects of insulin therefore the body starts making more insulin and therefore storing more fat and the cycle goes on.
