Weight Loss Patch Company Gets Nailed by the FTC

Filed Under Weight Loss Scams | Leave a Comment

In yet another telemarketing scam the makers if the Pounds Off Patch and Carbs Off Patch were not only busted for calling numbers on the “National Do Not Call Registry” (I signed up twice and still get calls every day), but they also made false claims about their weight loss patch, and in their advertising they said they were giving away free samples but they ended up charging people for them.

I don’t like it when people get ripped off but seriously who in their right mind would even entertain the idea of a product that claims cause substantial weight loss: in all users; when applied to skin; and by blocking the absorption of carbohydrates. Come on! Substantial weight loss In all users, this has scam written all over it.

The defendants Conversion Marketing, Inc. and Adam Tyler MacDonald ended up paying $463,000 in consumer redress and $11,000 in civil penalties

Raw Explosive Power! That’s what you’ll get from working out with kettlebells. These devices appear to be nothing more that a lead ball with a handle, but once you start to use them you’ll see that kettlebells are one the most devastating weight training devices around.

Kettlebells were introduced into the main stream by a guy named Pavel Tsatsouline who holds the title “Master of Sports” back in the Soviet Union.

Diet Plan Increases Activity of Leptin, the Hormone Responsible for Weight Loss

Filed Under Advanced Diet Advice | Leave a Comment

Dr. Leo Galland announces The Fat Resistance Diet™, a brand new diet book from Broadway Books. This simple, successful weight loss program uses readily available foods to reprogram the body toward thinness.

Dr. Leo Galland has created a diet plan bringing together the latest university research into how leptin can help change bodies with a bountiful menu that changes lives. “The Fat Resistance Diet™: Unlock the Secret of the Hormone Leptin to Eliminate Cravings, Supercharge Your Metabolism, Fight Inflammation; Lose Weight & Reprogram Your Body to Stay Thin” is a weight loss program combining tasty food with the cutting-edge science of leptin, a naturally-occurring hormone.

Dr. Leo Galland, a New York City internist internationally known for his work in nutritional medicine, has designed a diet plan to combat leptin resistance. The Fat Resistance Diet™ is the first diet plan that uses inflammation-fighting superfoods to reverse leptin resistance, allowing rapid and permanent weight loss without drugs, calorie counting or extreme dietary restrictions.

Leptin, a hormone produced by fat cells themselves, is essential for a successful weight loss program. Recent highly publicized research at Columbia University and the University of Texas demonstrates the importance of leptin to a weight loss program. Leptin suppresses appetites and speeds up metabolism. Overweight people suffer from leptin resistance, a condition in which the leptin produced by their fat cells does not work properly. Without the full benefit of leptin, they cannot achieve or maintain a lean body weight.

Dr. Galland emphasizes that chronic inflammation is a common cause of leptin resistance. His theory derives from research at Harvard University indicating that chronic inflammation and leptin resistance go hand in hand.

Columbia University researchers found that leptin prevents the rebound weight gain most people experience after think they’re finished with their diet plan. Texas experiments showed that overfed animals could only become obese if their fat cells became resistant to the effects of leptin. If leptin resistance could be prevented, no amount of overfeeding would make the animals fat.

By reversing the nutritional causes of chronic inflammation and supplying nutrients that enhance the effectiveness of leptin, The Fat Resistance Diet™ is the first diet plan to utilize this cutting edge research on the hormonal basis of a weight loss program. This plan helps people lose weight and stay thin without counting calories. Sample recipes and scientific references may be found at www.fatresistancediet.com.

The Fat Resistance Diet™ speeds up the metabolism and suppresses the appetite of overweight people by enhancing the effectiveness of leptin produced by fat cells. The diet plan is rich in omega-3 fats, fiber and phytonutrients derived from colorful and sweet fruits, crunchy nuts and seeds, piquant spices and tasty seafood.. The Fat Resistance Diet™ is a unique weight loss program in that its recipes and menus are designed for the express purpose of maximizing the effect of leptin. Because foods with the greatest ability to enhance leptin are also foods with great flavors, The Fat Resistance Diet™ comes with 100 recipes for delicious meals that are easy to prepare and six weeks of meal plans.

How To Fight Cravings and Achieve Your Diet and Weight Loss Goals.

How To Fight Cravings and Achieve Your Diet and Weight Loss Goals.

Consume less calories and you’ll lose weight sounds easy right? The urge to eat is strong for most overweight people, in fact it’s not unlike the desire to drink for an alcoholic or the need to smoke for smokers. It can be maddening, and most of time depriving yourself of food only leads to binge eating which can shatter any dieters confidence.

Suppressing your appetite can be done relatively easy if you follow certain guide lines. First you should never allow yourself to get so hungry that you lose control and devour all food in sight, this will throw your diet completely off track. Instead you should try to eat many small meals throughout the day, and drink a large glass of water before and after every meal this is important because it will trick your body into thinking it’s full.

Another tip for stopping cravings in their tracks is to eat what I call filler foods. These are foods that you can eat large amounts of, but they contain only a small amount calories. You can eat as much of these foods as you like and still lose weight. A few filler foods that I enjoy are cucumbers, plain oatmeal, wild rice, lettuce, and cold cereal with skim milk. Most fruits and vegetables fall into this category, and most people find that these foods are very satisfying and do a good job of filling you up.
