Lose Weight
It is not unusual for people who are overweight to make the excuse that they can’t lose weight so there is no point trying. Losing weight is not for the feint hearted. It demands life style changes and discipline and can take many months to achieve your goal.
However if you are serious about wanting to lose weight it is worth making sure that you are properly organized before you begin. Being well organized will get you off to a good start as will my list of tips and hints to make your weight loss journey a little less stressful
1. Get rid of any foods that may tempt you to return to your old ways and instead fill your cupboards with healthy foods that will help you to lose weight
2. Buy fresh foods on the day you want to eat them. This will help to ensure that they have the maximum nutritional value.
3. Make sure you have some healthy snacks at hand in the fridge, like carrot sticks and hummus.
4. You will need to have plenty of high quality protein in your weight loss diet. Protein is necessary to convert fat into lean muscle and subsequently to speed up your metabolism.
5. Most of us suffer from a sweet tooth on occasions so it is sensible to keep a store of fruit such as bananas, apples and oranges that will offer a healthier alternative. Pure sugar causes insulin levels to rise too quickly leading to a condition known as hyper-insulinism. Fruit contains fiber which has to be broken down and results in a slower absorption of sugar and a more gradual rise in insulin levels.
6. You should aim to stick to your diet at least for 95% of the time and don’t be too hard on yourself if you have a bad day or feel the need for a treat. It is always better to have a treat and get back to your diet rather than feel deprived and ending up binging
7. Start thinking like a slim person and imagining yourself as slim. If you think like a slim person you will act like a slim person and consequently you will begin to eat like as a slim person. The power of though can help you to lose weight more effectively and maintain that weight loss in the future.
8. Don’t be tempted to give up. There will always be times when sticking to your diet will prove to be more than you can cope with, but the most important thing is to get back on the diet as soon as things get back to normal.
9. Trying to lose weight on your own can be a lonely business. Either join a class or maybe form a weight loss group of your own amongst your friends, colleagues or family members. The benefits of group therapy and a good support system can make all the difference to your ultimate successful weight loss
10. Determination and a resolve to do it to the best of your ability will certainly help you to lose weight. Many people have lost vast amounts of weight and have kept it off successfully it just takes a bit of will power and an understanding that this is an eating plan for life and not just for the duration of your weight loss regime

Weight Loss with Leanology
March 28, 2009 -TriVita
What makes Leanology capsules so great?
Leanology weight loss capsules provide nutrients, instead of stimulants, to assist you in your weight loss goals. Moreover, the effectiveness of our weight loss capsules has been confirmed through a clinical study. During the four months of this study, participants lost weight every week and actually gained lean tissue at the same time.
The formula features a four-stage blend of nutrients that target specific areas of concern that impact weight loss.
Stage 1: Energy & metabolism
Key ingredients: Green Tea, L-Theanine, B Vitamins, Vitamin C,
Manganese
Thermogenic nutrients increase lean body mass in older age groups –
even without exercise. This is a critical component to the formula
because as one ages, lean muscle mass becomes more difficult to attain
– and lean muscle mass is essential for a healthy metabolism.
For example, L-Theanine helps increase our body’s natural
energy-producing capabilities. Mitochondria, sometimes described as
“cellular power plants,” are found within our cells. They help convert
food molecules into energy. L-Theanine is an antioxidant that
specifically recharges the mitochondria to help it reproduce energy.
Stage 2: Cortisol & anti-stress
Key ingredients: GABA, Korean Ginseng, Poria Cocos, Vitamin D,
Dimethylglycine, Copper gluconate
Stress is a problem at any age, though stress-related obesity seems to
be more prevalent after age 40. Many trophic or “muscle-building”
hormones begin to decline as we age. Stress accelerates this process.
Fat-storage hormones are produced in response to stress.
Modern biochemistry has discovered that a protein receptor in your
brain called a “GABA receptor” is responsible for stress sensitivity.
By increasing GABA, a simple amino acid, we reduce the impact of
stress on our nervous system and hormone balance.
Stage 3: Appetite control
Key ingredients: Glucommanan, Biotin, Magnesium, Zingiber rhizome
(Ginger)
Leanology contains specific nutrients that signal your brain to
recognize signs of “fullness” earlier in the meal. It also restores
the balance of signaling chemicals from your stomach to your brain.
These chemicals can be weakened after a long, exhausting, stressful
day. Therefore, Leanology minimizes evening cravings.
Weight gain is a direct response to a calorie surplus. If you do not
burn the calories you consume, they will be left behind as fat –
especially if the calories are from unhealthy sources. Leanology works
to minimize your cravings and therefore assist you in lowering your
total caloric intake.
Stage 4: Blood sugar control
Key ingredients: Garcinia camobogia, Gymnema sylvestre, Bitter melon,
Cinnamon bark, Alpha Lipoic acid, Chromium polynicotinate, Vanadyl
sulphate, Zinc gluconate
Blood sugar control is the most critical component of any weight loss
program. Elevated blood sugar causes the body to store sugar as fat
rather than using it as energy. Leanology contains nutrients that help
to utilize the carbohydrates and sugar we consume as energy – to keep
them from being stored as fat. It also helps reduce the cravings for
sweets and carbohydrates.
We are more likely to develop insulin resistance as we age. The more
processed and refined food we eat, the more insulin we require to
metabolize it. The more insulin in our blood, the less responsive our
cells become. As we age, this continual exposure wears out our
tolerance for refined carbohydrates and sugar, and reduces our
sensitivity to insulin. Therefore we are less likely to convert sugar
and carbohydrates into energy, and more likely to convert them into
fat.
