Light Weight Wellness brings A Weight Loss Revolution
by Rose Schoenenberger
Why are Americans getting fatter?
The CDC currently reports that 2 out of 3 American adults and 1 out of 3 children are overweight or obese. America has the highest percent of overweight and obese people in the world. Why? Americans are eating more processed foods than ever before, causing a sluggish metabolism and resulting weight gain. All foods that have a long shelf life are processed foods. This means that they lack digestive enzymes (that would have caused them to spoil). Today, 50% of the food produced in our grocery stores is processed, heavily sprayed with insecticides or gassed, genetically modified, or filled with hormones and antibiotics. All of this can lead to abnormal fat gain and chronic illnesses.
There are several obvious examples of harmful additives in our food.
Ingredients present in fast foods and processed foods today --- including food additives to enhance flavor, polyunsaturated oils, MSG, high fructose corn syrup, bromide in our bakery goods, and refined salt --- can cause problems to our health and well being. All of this slows down metabolism and increases our fat build up. The lack of trace minerals in our refined table salt has also been shown to slow metabolism. (Unrefined salt has over 80 trace minerals that are removed from our refined table salt. The lack of trace minerals inhibits our metabolism from functioning optimally and again, can cause weight gain. In the 1980's iodine was removed as the anti caking agent in white flour and bromide was added in its place. According to David Brownstein MD, reports that when there is a lack of iodine in the body, bromide binds to the thyroid gland and we will tend to feel dull, apathetic and depressed. These are all symptoms of a sluggish metabolism that causes weight gain.
Until today’s generation, nutrition was obtained from the food that we ate.
In former generations, Americans didn’t need to take handfuls of supplements. They ate whole, natural and seasonal foods grown by local farmers --- organic foods.
There is a New Weight Loss Revolution called “Light Weight Wellness”
One of the key factors in a good weight loss program is the use of enzymes. According to enzyme specialist, DicQui Fuller, enzymes are defined as "proteins taken from food and made by the body." Enzymes must be present before any chemical reaction can take place in the body. What does this mean? Well, basically, it means that every action our body performs requires enzymes to perform it. Even minerals, herbs, vitamins and hormones cannot do their jobs without enzymes. In short, our body cannot exist without enzymes. If you consider that our body operates from energy derived by foods we take in, then the importance of enzymes to fully digest those foods and make the nutrients available can be seen as vital to our health.
Enzymes are essential for supporting healthy weight loss. Certain enzymes are abundant in foods that are raw and since very few of us have a diet rich in raw foods we lack sufficient amounts to burn normal amounts of fat in our diets. When we eat diets rich in fat, we may suffer as our body may not be able to utilize this extra fat for energy. When you have enough of these essential enzymes, your body is able to break down and dissolve the fat stored throughout the body. Without these vital enzymes, fat accumulates and is stored in your arteries, and organs. You will see it accumulate on hips, the rear, stomach, and thighs.
Other enzymes are vital for breaking down proteins and the elimination of toxins. If your body is storing toxins it is very difficult to burn fat, and fat is where your body stores excess toxins. When fat toxins are metabolized, they are first released back into your system, which can cause water retention and also bloating. So a diet using the proper enzyme supplementation will help to eliminate toxins. Think of your body as a processing unit. If you cannot retrieve enough nutrients from the food you take in, your body receives a signal that it needs to store more fat against the threat of starvation and will hold on to even more fat in reaction. It will also send a signal that you need to take in more food. This can result in a vicious cycle of eating more and more, and still always feeling hungry. The right digestive enzyme formula can stop this kind of triggered response and help improve your health.
Light Weight Wellness is an organic food based wellness program that combines specific foods and enzyme therapy to produce a dramatic weight loss. The fat comes off the troubled areas and the client loses inches. Unlike other diets, this program helps burn abnormal stored fat deposits, or fat pads. During the program, clients report losing 1/2 to 1 pound per day, while feeling energized and clear headed. They report a natural change in their eating, cooking, and lifestyle habits. The long -term advantage of this program is that eighty–five percent of all clients keep this weight off for life
Phase 2 of the program resets the metabolism and set point. Clients are given organic food choices to help them feel satisfied, stay motivated, and prevent future weight gain. By continuing to eat organic, fresh, whole foods following weight loss, the client will remain free of food addiction, and feel more energized and healthy. People who have gone through the program report that food tastes better, and in many cases, family's eating habits transform, resulting in better health for all ages.
