Get Off the Starting Block

1. Identify your reasons for losing weight.2. Believe you can do it.3. Focus on your thought patterns and

learn to promote the positive.4. Surround yourself with supportive

people.

5. Write down your 3 main goals. For example: 1) lose 20 lbs. 2) curb sugar cravings 3) lower cholesterol

To function properly, our bodiesneed:

~Macronutrients :proteincarbohydratesfats

~Micronutrients:vitamins (vitamins A, Bs ,C, D, K)

minerals (calcium, iron, zinc, etc.)~Water


6/45

Must drink water to lose weight

The more you drink, themore youll lose.

Monitor your water levelsto make sure you arestaying hydrated.

How much? 8-10 glasses per day (8

ounces each).

American Dietary Changes

From the 70s to the 90s, per capita calorieintake has increased by 200 calories per day.

This adds one extra pound of weight every17 to 18 days.

Americans spend 11% of their disposableincome on food, whereas 50 years ago wespent twice as much.

Why lower carbohydrates?

According to research, a High-Protein,Low-Fat Diet fares better than a High-

Carbohydrate, Low-Fat Diet in healthyyoung women; Journal of the American College of Nutrition , Vol. 21, No. 1, 55-61 (2002)

HighProtein diets also raise metabolismafter eating better than a high carb diet.

Low-Glycemic Dietfor Weight Loss

The Effect of a Low-Glycemic Index or aHigh-Cereal Fiber Diet on Type II Diabetes

JAMA ; Dec 17, 2008- Vol 300, No 23, 2742-2753

Eating the same amount of calories, people who consumed a low-glycemic diet lost more weight than the usual diet.

Furthermore, diabetics have dramatic improvements incholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure.

Conclusion: Consuming a low-glycemic diet speeds weight lossand improves insulin resistance better than any previous dietstudied.


10/45

More Studies support diets high inprotein vs. those high in carbs

Recent clinical investigations support theefficacy of high-protein, reduced fat dietsfor weight loss, as well as for improvedinsulin sensitivity (diabetes) and blood lipidprofiles (cholesterol/triglycerides).

HOWEVER, U.S. Dietary Guidelines stillsupport diets high in complex carbs- 58%of daily energy.


11/45

Food industry replaced fat with sugar

Fat was most often replaced with high fructosecorn syrup

Animal data suggest that simple sugars, inparticular fructose, have adverse effects oninsulin action.

Studies in rats have demonstrated that highintake of sucrose (18-70% of calories) or fructose (15-60% of calories) produce a declinein insulin sensitivity in the liver and later inperipheral tissues.

This leads to insulin resistance (diabetes) andeven metabolic syndrome.

Exercise Dose & Quality of Life

Exercise levels predict improvements in allrespects of quality of life.

Whether losing weight or not, exercise improved

vitality, social functioning, and emotional healthas much as it did physical health.

Each increased level of exercise provided further benefit. Arch Intern Med / Vol 169 (No 3), Feb 9, 2009: 269-278.

Are you getting enough sleep?

If you arent getting 8 or more hours of sleep

Fix this ASAP Adults should get 8-10 hrs of sleep; children require 10 to12 hrs.

One should be asleep within 15 minutes of ones headtouching the pillow.

Over the next 8 hours, cycles should include variousstages including REM sleep.

Try not to get up to urinate. Should wake up without an alarm clock and feel rested. Take our Sleep Quiz and follow our insomnia protocol.


20/45

Look at Your Lifestyle What is cortisol? A hormone the bodyproduces under stress to help us

handle the stress. How does cortisol influence weight

gain?

Cortisol has many actions in the body, and one ultimategoal of cortisol secretion is the provision of energy for thebody under stress.Cortisol stimulates fat and carbohydrate metabolism forfast energy, and stimulates insulin release andmaintenance of blood sugar levels. The end result of these actions is an increase inappetite . Thus chronic stress, or poorly-managed stress, may leadto cortisol levels that stimulate your appetite. end result? weight gain or difficulty losing

unwanted pounds.


21/45

The role of Cortisol Cortisol levels increase during fasting and stress. High cortisol levels are associated with central

obesity . Cortisol deficiency , Addisons Disease, is associated

with weight loss . Research suggests that high cortisol favors fat

deposition and a higher set point for body fat. Also, the increase in plasma leptin levels in response

to glucocorticoids (stress hormones) appears to begreater in obese vs. lean humans.

Higher leptin levels mean greater appetite andgreater weight gain.

Solution? Decrease stress, exercise and takeEndoTrim!!


22/45

Weight Loss Support packet

Contains: Carnitine EndoTrim

Thyroid Synergy Pantethine

Take 1 packet with breakfast and 1 packet withlunch or dinner (may be energizing at night).


23/45

EndoTrim - A multi-facetedWeight Control formula

Designed to help the following if taken daily:

Fat loss Appetite control Blood sugar support Stress control Improving metabolism Improving muscle mass


24/45

How does it work?Many goals: Balance the endocrine system Increase metabolism and fat burning Increase lean body mass (muscle)

Lower high leptin levels so it works better tocontrol appetite Lower insulin levels so the body doesnt store

carbohydrate calories so easily

Control the lipoprotein lipase enzyme so itdoesnt readily store fat Release more fat from fat cells to be BURNED


25/45

It does even more

Controls anxiety, keeps us calm Calms down cortisol production under stress

this hormone likes to store fat on the tummy this puts us at risk for heart attacks and

Syndrome X Helps us make thyroid hormone most

important hormone for metabolism Helps us make dopamine and norepinephrine so

we wont crave chocolate, wont feel depressed.These are called catecholamines.

Controls insulin so we wont crave sweets andcarbs.


26/45

How the ingredients work The compounds in this product are

based on the latest research inovercoming the challenges of losingbody fat while maintaining and even

increasing lean body mass and basalmetabolic rate. Designed to support steady moods,

steady energy, control the stress

response, and control appetite. Contains the non-stimulatingAmerican ginseng for cortisol balance


27/45

Researched ingredient:ForsLean

ForsLean (Coleus forskohli), Garciniacambogia (Hydroxycitric

acid), and the polyphenolEGCg from green teapromote lean body massthrough ergogenic activity . stimulates metabolism and

allows for greater fat burning.


28/45

Forskolin

Forskolin is a known blood pressure loweringagent and is used in the management of hypertension, including ocular hypertension thatleads to glaucoma.

Preliminary studies in humans have shown thatforskolin increases the contractility of the heart

muscle without increasing oxygen consumption and that it is a v asodilator. Forskolin has been shown to inhibit platelet

aggregation further validating its beneficialcardiovascular effects.


29/45


30/45

How do these ingredientswork?

Coleus forskohli stimulates the metabolicmessenger, cyclic AMP.FORSKOLIN is theactive ingredient inColeus. Researchproves it increases leanbody mass whilereducing total bodymass.


31/45

Improve metabolism

Activated B vitamins,magnesium and L-carnitine provide nutrientsfor optimal mitochondrialfunction and metabolism.

N-acetyl-tyrosine supportsthyroid function (needed toproduce thyroxine T4) andproduction of dopaminewhich helps us stay incontrol.


32/45

Control Cravings

The addition of GABA, alongwith magnesium, provides anelement of craving control tothis unique product. These nutrients help keep us

calm when stressed which helpsreduce stress eating.


33/45

Reduce FAT storage

Garcinia cambogia promotes the efficientCONVERSION of glucose to glycogen AND HELPSUTILIZE BODY FAT AS A SOURCE OF ENERGY .

Normalized and efficient glucose metabolism isachieved as Garcinia cambogia reduces theconversion of carbohydrates to fats.

As a result, the synthesis of triglycerides fromcarbohydrates may be reduced as will the likelihood of triglycerides being stored as fat.

Bottom line: less sugar is stored as fat and MOREFAT IS BEING DISPOSED FROM THE BODY.


34/45


35/45

EGCg EGCg from green tea also

favors fat burning over theburning of carbohydrateswhile reducing fat storage.

Again, more fat burnedmeans less fat stored in fatcells.

PLUS, lean body mass isbeing preserved for optimalbody function .

These are the MAIN goals for

healthy weight loss!


36/45

Maintain Blood Glucose Levels

Banaba and green tea along with chelatedchromium , vanadium, magnesium and zinc improve entry and metabolism of glucose in thecells and reduce and/or normalize insulin levels.

One of insulins jobs is to store excess sugar asfat. Keeping insulin levels at bay means better

control of weight gain.

Better control of blood sugar also results inbetter control of appetite and less cravings for sugar and starch.


37/45

Improve your STRESS Response

GABA , (gamma aminobutyric acid)exerts anxiety relieving effects at thecellular level.

Additionally, American ginseng ,which is non-stimulating, N-acetyl- tyrosine, B vitamins , and zinc allsupport sustained energy andnormalization of the stress hormone,cortisol.


38/45

CarnitineWithout Carnitine fat cannot be burned for energy.

Without energy, cells become weak or die.Optimizing Carnitine levels has been found to havedramatic benefits for low energy, obesity, and fatigue.Controlled trials have demonstrated that Carnitineincreases weight loss by promoting optimal fat burning bythe mitochondria (energy production powerhouse insideeach cell) Carnitine capsules are found in the Weight Loss Packets


39/45


40/45

Carnitine Study (continued)

One group was given 2 g. of L-Carnitine per day, the other a placebo.

Results: The L-Carnitine group experienced anaverage weight loss of 11 lbs. while the placebogroup lost an average of only 1 lb.

L-Carnitine group also lost more body fat andgained lean body mass

Zhi-Quian He et. Al. Acta Nutrimenta Sinica 1997 Vol. 19, No.2


41/45

What is Pantethine?

Pantethine is a form of pantothenic acid, a Bvitamin, also known as B5. Pantothenic acid supports the adrenal gland

(stress gland).

Research shows that Pantethine can aid weightloss, lower cholesterol, lower triglycerides andimprove fatty liver.

The liver metabolizes fat, so a health liver isnecessary for weight loss.

If the liver cannot get to it all, it builds up andcauses fatty liver.

Research shows that carnitine and pantethineimprove fatty liver.

Do I need Thyroid Synergy if I donthave a thyroid problem?

YES why? thyroid" is of Greek origin, and means

"shield-shaped". The thyroid glands are a pair of butterfly-

shaped glands at the base of the neck,where the trachea (windpipe) enters the

chest. The thyroid secretes and regulateshormones responsible for metabolism.


44/45

What does Thyroid Synergy do?

The thyroid gland needs certain nutrients to helpit synthesize the hormones that regulatemetabolism such as thyroxine (also known asT4).

Giving these nutrients every day helps ensurethe gland can do its job especially under stressand on days we skip meals and/or do not eatwell.

L-Tyrosine, an amino acid, is a component of thyroxine so it must be around to make thishormone.


45/45

What does Thyroid Synergy do?

N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine is the mostbioavailable form of Tyrosine and is foundin Thyroid Synergy.

Other nutrients needed by the thyroidgland found in Thyroid Synergy include: Selenium Iodine Vitamin A Zinc
