The superfood that reduces fat absorption by 75%

The weight loss supplement industry is always looking for that magic pill that’ll do it all.  And truth be told, the lure of easy weight loss is often times too attractive…even for the well informed.  Which explains why the weight loss supplement business is a multi billion dollar industry. 

We live in a culture of instant gratification, where going under the knife for a little nip and tuck have become as common as visiting your family doctor and taking an OTC diet pill is as normal as taking a multi-vitamin

Even though majority of the products out in the market today are just as effective as taking a sugar pill…these companies are smart, savvy and know exactly how to take advantage of people’s weaknesses and desires. 

The weight loss supplement companies are used to taking the benefits of one or two active ingredient(s) from naturally occurring plants and vegetation and packaging it into pills and powders. 

The problem is there is no standard level of quality when it comes to supplements in the US.  There is no third party quality control agencies that exists to make sure that you’re getting what’s stated in the label.  So you never really know what you’re consuming and more often than not the pill being marketed is probably 99% filler. 

This is why the recently published study from Newcastle University, is quite significant.

How Lack of Oxygen Stops You From Burning Fat

Oxygen is something we all take for granted since we really don’t ever think about it.  But it’s the most important element that’s responsible for the existence of life.  Without oxygen there wouldn’t be any living thing on this earth! 

It’s amazing how the most important element in our life is taken for granted.  It’s estimated that in the last 10,000 years the level of oxygen in the atmosphere has dropped by 50 %!  Now 10,000 years may seem a long time, but in earth time, it’s just a blink of an eye. 

Scary thought considering the explosion of global population and industrialization is crippling our oxygen producing environment faster than ever before.
And in addition to less available oxygen, we’ve also become less efficient at consuming oxygen.  This means that you’re functioning with lower levels of oxygen in your body.  Since oxygen is needed in essentially all of your metabolic processes including burning fat - without proper levels of oxygen, these metabolic processes slow down or get halted altogether, seriously compromising your health and stopping your weight loss and fitness progress dead in it’s tracks.

Needless to say having enough oxygen in your body is critical for a healthy body.

I’ll show you how to effectively increase oxygen levels in your body, so it can function at an optimal level, ensuring that your fat burning and weight loss efforts are realized to it’s maximum potential and protect you from any serious health problems.

Sunshine Can Help You Burn Fat

Remember when tanning was in.  I’m probably aging myself here, but I remember back when I was a kid growing up in NYC and swimming at the local outdoor swimming pool.  While all the kids were busy playing Marco Polo in the pool, the adults were busy trying to find just the right position to place their recliners to get maximum sun exposure and literally bake themselves in the sun…extra crispy!  Colonel Sanders would have been proud! 

But then came the realization that looking golden bronze may not be so good for your skin or health!  Smart thing, since skin cancer is one of the most aggressive forms of cancer around.  And all of a sudden sun tanning lotion was replaced with sunscreens and baking in the sun became a thing of the past. 

However, it seems that we may have gone a little overboard about avoiding the sun. 

A recent study found that vitamin D deficiency is not only prevalent, but it’s present in epidemic proportions in North America!  Vitamin D deficiency causes serious diseases like cancer, rickets, osteoporosis and diabetes, and most recently linked to weight gain from increased fat storage.

I’ll show you some surprisingly alarming facts about vitamin D deficiency.  You’ll learn why your dermatologist may be causing you to become vitamin D deficient and find out how much vitamin D you really need and the simplest way to get it.  I’ll also show you the best vitamin D supplementation, as well as which foods to eat, so you can get sufficient vitamin D to optimize your health and help maximize your weight loss efforts.

How To Prevent Your Beer Belly

The thing I love about spring is the energy in the air.  It’s almost palpable!  People come out of hibernation and get outside for some much needed sun and fresh air. 

And as we come out from hiding, the other thing that almost inevitably seems to happen as the climate gets warmer, is our increased thirst for cold alcohol beverages.  It’s as if we’ve been deprived of drinking all winter!  Maybe it’s the heat, maybe it’s the patio or maybe it’s just part of spring fever.  Whatever the reason…there always seems to be an occasion where drinking a cold alcoholic beverage is appropriate.  A beer after a nice day out in the sun, a cosmopolitan for those swanky nights out or a fresh mimosa at your Sunday brunch with your family and friends.  Whatever the occasion, there’s always an alcoholic beverage that perfectly fits that event.

Now, my motto for almost everything, including alcohol, is moderation.  But let’s be honest, when it comes to alcohol, the word “moderation” gets used quite liberally.  Now I’m not suggesting that you stop drinking, but if you’re worried about your waistline and appearance as the warmer weather approaches and the amount of clothing covering your body starts to lessen, than you’d better reconsider how much you drink. 

But, if drinking is going to be a significant part of your summer plans, I’ll give you some effective tips to help negate some of the unwanted effects of alcohol consumption including weight gain.
