Your D-N-A holds the answers for Y-O-U!

Talk about predictability … perhaps THE biggest and most important advancement in SCIENCE when it comes to understanding weight loss for a given individual is this one!

A well-known clinical study was done by one of America’s top universities, Stanford University. The purpose of the study was to determine if DNA testing may be effective in assisting people to lose weight.

When compared to other well-established weight loss programs (maybe some of those out there you’ve tried in the past), those people that were on a meal plan designed specific to THEIR genetic profile lost 2.5 times more weight AND they were much more successful in keeping the weight off compared to those not on an individualized plan. The science speaks for itself!

“Intermittent Fasting” Pushes Your Body to Burn Fat

The word “FASTING” is definitely one that is misunderstood. Once again, it’s something many folks are ignorant to. Many hear the word and think only of a spiritual practice. Most think you would be miserable and starving from any form of a fast … and that it would create the effect that we wrote about recently regarding “starvation diets”. But NO that’s not what we’re implementing with intermittent fasting!

What is Intermittent Fasting??

Put simply, it’s a pattern of eating. Intermittent fasting is not a “diet”.

There’s more to it than just “eating less”

Starvation diets do not work. Period. SCIENCE has shown again and again that merely cutting the amount of food is not necessarily the answer.

Throwing the body into a “starvation mode” actually results in the body holding fat. In essence the body senses a problem or a threat and prepares for survival over the long haul. When this happens you actually HOLD fat – not burn fat. SCIENCE demonstrates this!

There are natural ways to help jump start metabolism!

The science based secret we covered in our last blog is that many prescription drugs CAUSE weight gain. At the same time, weight loss does not require strong, potent or expensive prescription drugs. Why would a person risk some serious complication (side note: ALL drugs have potential side effects!) when you may be able to accomplish the same thing safely and sensibly?

Some Prescription Medications Actually Cause & Contribute To Weight Gain!

Did you happen to read the blog a couple of weeks ago entitled “Word of the Week” in which we addressed the word Ignorance? It’s a misunderstood word that does not mean “dumb”. Rather, it is defined this way: A lack of knowledge, understanding or education. Synonyms for this word are: incomprehension of, unawareness of, unconsciousness of, unfamiliarity with, inexperience with, lack of knowledge about, lack of information about
