Latest News in Weight Loss

Nov. 2, 2010 - PRLog -- Ever wonder why fasting was so popular with mystics in ancient times?  It probably began with simply wanting to attain a higher level of thinking.  Meditation during a fast was believed to heighten awareness and focus thoughts. Many people have experienced increased energy levels and better mental focus through fasting.  Now there is new research indicating fasting may even help decrease body fat.

Researchers for Harvard at Massachusetts General Hospital are focusing on an enzyme that is involved with fat synthesis and storage.  It appears fasting causes this enzyme to stop production of fats and cholesterol.  What are the implications for the millions world-wide who are overweight?  This new information may lend credibility to the idea of including a fasting regimen into the conventional reduced-calorie low-fat diet that is recommended by healthcare professionals.  The reduced-fat low-calorie diet has been the standard of care and has stood the test of time to be the most reliable, safe, and effective way to achieve a healthy weight.

Healthy fasting does not imply going without food for prolonged periods, nor does it mean very-low calorie diets on a regular basis.  Starvation diets, such as the popular Hcg diet, have some serious potential side effects that are unhealthy, and starvation diets do not promote healthy weight loss.  Rather, healthy fasting will most likely occur with one to two days of cleansing, where calorie intake is low but nutrient quality is high.  Enter the Isagenix Cleansing and Fat Burning System.

The Isagenix Cleansing and Fat Burning System is a nutrient-dense weight loss system that includes a cleansing regimen.  The calorie structure is well balanced and infused with many essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.  The formulations don’t leave you hungry or lacking in energy.  In fact you may even have increased energy levels.  The cleansing aspect promotes building of lean muscle and releasing of fat and impurities.  Isagenix products have proven to be ingeniously engineered to optimize health and wellness by capitalizing on this enzyme pathway.  For more information visit www.newimageclinic.net
