Hypnosis: Changing Your Mind About Weight Loss

Monday, October 5th, 2009

Pain and HypnosisWe usually find a way to accomplish what we really want to do. Many of us tell ourselves losing weight is one of those things we really want to do… but it’s not.

That’s because our minds don’t think “losing weight” then naturally project a self image of ourselves as slim and trim. Instead, it takes “losing weight” and immediately equates it with hard work, boring exercises, and a starvation diet. No fun at all.

The root cause of most diet and exercise failures is just that we don’t want to do it. Instead we get urges to eat because it brings us temporary relaxation and pleasure. Our behavior patterns lead to food cravings deeply associated with certain activities or environments. Being overweight itself can be an emotional protective response.

In short, the mind has a tremendous amount of influence on our appetite and attitudes towards exercise. If we can change our internal attitudes towards eating a healthy diet and exercise we have already won half the battle against the bulge. That’s where a weight loss hypnotherapy program may help.

Approved by the American Medical Association since 1958, hypnosis has become a powerful tool in the treatment of both disease and undesirable behaviors including overeating. Clinical results have proven hypnosis can nearly double the effectiveness of weight loss programs. It also appears to lead to continued improvement.

One impressive study followed two groups participating in a weight management program. One group used hypnosis while the other did not. The hypnosis group continued to get results after two years while the non-hypnosis group showed no further results.

If you’ve struggled to lose weight – and keep it off – hypnosis may just give you the edge you’ve been looking for.


3 Vegetables that Fight Abdominal Fat

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

I bet you didn’t know that there is a specific class of vegetables that contain very specific phytonutrients that actually help to fight against abdominal fat.

Let me explain what they are and why…

First of all, if you’ve already grabbed a copy of my new Fat Burning Kitchen Program

then you may already know about how certain chemicals in our food supply and our environment, such as pesticides, herbicides, and certain petrochemicals from household cleaners, cosmetics, etc can act as xenoestrogens.

Xenoestrogens are chemicals that you are exposed to that have an estrogenic effect and excess exposure can cause hormone balance disruptions for both men and women. So these can wreak havoc in the body for both guys and gals.

These estrogenic chemicals that we are exposed to on a daily basis can stimulate your body to store belly fat, along with many other problems.

So here’s where this specific class of vegetables comes in handy…

One of those cool tricks that I teach in my Fat Burning Kitchen program is that cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, etc. contain specific and uniquephytonutrients such as indole-3-carbinol (I3C) that help to fight against these estrogenic compounds…

And by fighting against these belly fat stimulating estrogenic chemicals, this can help you fight against abdominal fat!

So there you go… just another excuse to do what mom always told you and eat more broccoli!

I’ve really learned to like brussells sprouts in the last year too… Melt a little grass-fed cheese on them and some garlic and they’re great!

In case you haven’t picked up your copy yet, I give away at least 12 other specific foods, teas, spices, etc that help to combat the xenoestrogens and can help you to burn abdominal fat faster in my new program… make sure to grab your copy before the price doubles tomorrow

Pass this onto your friends… I bet you’ll shock them with this article about xenoestrogens and how broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts can help to fight the battle against abdominal fat.

Enjoy!

Most Health Foods Are… a Complete Waste of Money!

Monday, January 26th, 2009

You can eat all these pure, organic foods and you still won’t get a vital nutrient – enzymes.

The problem is that most people including doctors don’t know that enzymes are just as important as vitamins. As a result, there’s a nationwide epidemic of diseases that could be prevented by enzyme supplements.

Proteolytic (protein-eating) enzymes are the number two pain reliever in Germany after aspirin. But unlike pain drugs, they’re completely safe. You’ll see proof in a new Special Report called The Missing Ingredient for Good Health. The report introduces you to a mother whose lifelong migraine headaches disappeared thanks to enzyme supplements.

No wonder German athletes take them by the millions! Placebo-controlled studies show that athletes recover from injuries in half the time when they take enzymes. But there’s more. .

Enzymes can help save you from heart and artery disease

In published medical studies, they outperformed prescription blood clot drugs and – this is really amazing – nine out of ten children with autism experienced “very great or impressive” improvement after they started enzyme supplements.

Does it sound incredible that one supplement can do all this? Then ask yourself this: What if you had NO vitamins in your diet — none at all? You’d be very sick. Enzymes are just as important.

In The Missing Ingredient, you’ll discover how proteolytic enzymes DOUBLED the five-year survival rates for women with breast cancer. A man with kidney cancer was given 50 days to live — but he was alive and well 15 years later thanks to enzymes. A woman with metastatic breast cancer – a “death sentence” – was alive and well 16 years later.

A New Look at FAT – Because it Doesn’t “Just Sit There”

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

by James B. LaValle,
Pharmacist, Nutritionist, Naturopath

The discovery of “leptin” in 1994 created an explosion of interest in the “biology of white adipose tissue” – otherwise known as FAT. You probably remember those photos of seriously obese mice sitting next to their slender littermates – and the only difference between them was that the thin ones had been given this magic substance called leptin?

Major pharmaceutical companies embarked on a flurry of research, trying to discover the next “Blockbuster Drug for Weight Control,” and hoped to make a killing selling expensive drugs to desperate people.

But the results of what scientists, clinicians, and consumers have discovered since then, may turn out to be more useful to you and me than to the drug companies.

I’ve been talking about FAT as something that promotes inflammation for a very long time. I’ve also been warning my patients about dangers of the downward spiral from FAT and inflammation into serious and life-threatening illnesses.

“Managing” your FAT is a very complex process and there probably isn’t any one single pill that will ever be able to act as a “magic bullet,” and do the whole job for you. But the good news is that there are some practical strategies that may also have emerged from all the research that’s been done. And the LaValle Metabolic Institute (LMI) has more than a decade of clinical experience treating FAT and inflammation – and preventing the illnesses they can cause.
