Do You Think High-Fiber Foods Slow Your Metabolism?

Want your fat-burning metabolism to be fast and effective? After all, a fast metabolism working for you 24/7 is automatically burning calories day and night…

That means achieving and maintaining your ideal body becomes almost effortless.

Unfortunately, your metabolism is more likely slow and sluggish causing your belly to expand, while making it almost impossible for you to lose weight…yet alone keep it off.

The good news:

In just a moment I’m going to show you exactly how you can overcome your sluggish metabolism with real science.

Including our #1 research-backed metabolism-boosting trick for a flat belly…

Now before I reveal the secret, you need to understand 3 pitfalls directly responsible for the painfully slow speed of your run-down metabolism.

#1: It’s got to do with something you may have done a lot of…

And if this sounds familiar it is because of “crash diets” where calories are severely restricted in a futile attempt to lose weight quickly.

And “chronic dieting” where calories are restricted for extended periods of time.

Yes, crash dieting and chronic dieting can and does wreak havoc on your metabolic rate.

Demonstrated in numerous studies published by prestigious research journal Metabolism

For example:

In a study conducted at Rockefeller University by world-renowned obesity researcher Dr. Rudolph Leibel…

The metabolisms of individuals who had lost weight via long-term chronic dieting and/or various “crash dieting” techniques were compared to individuals who typically maintained a normal weight.

As expected, the metabolisms of those in the “dieter” group were 25% lower than those who had not gained or lost significant weight in the past.

The dieter group had accrued so much damage to their metabolisms over the years their now battered metabolic rates were slower than those of normal-weight individuals two-thirds their size.

Other studies show significantly decreased levels of important metabolic, fat-burning hormones with crash dieting, such as the Metabolism study performed by Dr. Campbell at the University of Vienna.

Study showed thyroid levels dropped by a massive 38% after just 2 weeks of consuming a very low calorie diet.

And yet another Metabolism study conducted by Dr. Gloria Dubuc and the nutrition research team at the University of California – Davis…

Showed a 50% reduction in body’s #1 fat-burning hormone just seven short days of following a severely reduced calorie diet.

The second major cause of dramatically slowed metabolic rates is the relatively inactive lifestyle that most of us live today.

Unlike our hunter and gatherer ancestors, we spend majority of day sitting or lying down.

Sitting on the way to work, while at work, drive home, at dinner table, on couch relaxing, and then laying down to sleep at night.

Of course, drastically reduced levels of activity comes significantly slower metabolisms.

The third major pitfall of declining metabolic rates is the overconsumption of whole grains, even foods praised as being high in fiber such as:

• 100% Whole Wheat Bread
• Whole Grain Pasta
• Bran flakes
• Wheat-based “Fiber” Cereals
• Whole Wheat Tortillas
• Wraps

Despite having more fiber than their “white” counterparts, these 4 high-fiber foods destroy your blood sugar and give rapid rise to fat-storing hormone insulin.

In fact, just 2 slices of whole wheat bread raise blood sugar far higher than a can of sugar-sweetened soda or even a sugary candy bar. Why?

Simply because today’s wheat is genetically modified by the food industry, mutated, and exposed to industrial toxins and radiation to force unnatural higher yields.

And at the expense of your health…

These harmful wheat products, although praised by food manufacturers as healthy for their fiber and “whole grain” content, are a major cause of the raging obesity epidemic.

This is seen across the board in western society today…

And because these foods are so rapidly digested, you get virtually no metabolic benefit during digestion, resulting in less than optimal metabolic rates.

And you’re already seeing ever expanding bellies worldwide…

What if there is a simple, practical and fast solution to boost your fat-burning metabolism, both during day and even while you sleep?

One solution which has shown in peer-reviewed research to result in nearly 4 times faster women’s weight loss?

What if you could take advantage of this scientifically-backed, simple solution in less time than it takes for you to brush your teeth each day?

Would you be interested?

You see, this simple “solution” involves a synergistic combination of several brand new fat-fighting, metabolism-igniting, natural ingredients researchers have discovered.

This is able to directly target fat cells and dramatically boost body fat metabolism, producing significant, measurable fat-burning results in as little as 2 weeks.

Let me quickly tell you about each.

The ingredient is a patent-pending combination of two exotic plant extracts; Sphaeranthus Indicus and Garcina Mangostana

This is supported by undeniable fat-burning research, incredibly unique and potent blend based on human trials.

Each study conducted via highly metabolic complex was set up based on gold standard of research (randomized, double-blind, and placebo controlled)

This means neither researchers or study participants knew which subjects received actual ingredients or the placebo (a simple sugar pill), so there could be no bias.

Let’s take a look at what happened:

In the first peer-reviewed clinical trial, conducted by Dr. Judith Stern and the nutrition research team at the University of California Davis…

Published in highly respected peer-reviewed journal Obesity, 60 subjects were randomly assigned to consume either 400mg twice daily or a placebo for a period of 8 weeks.6

All participants consumed a rather standard 2,000 calorie diet, and were instructed to walk a moderate 30 minutes per day.

Within the first 2 weeks, group a had experienced 3.3 times greater weight loss compared to placebo group, while shedding nearly 2 inches off their waist…all within 2 weeks.

By the end of the 8 week trial, group a had 3.79 times greater weight loss over placebo group, and an unprecedented 4.66 inches lost around waistline.

Group a shed weight around belly and hips (where it matters most) as demonstrated by a 2.2 times greater reduction in waist and hip size over placebo group.

Would you say that is extraordinary effective?

Dr. Stern and team at UC Davis performed another identical study with 40 additional participants to further validate incredible results seen in first clinical trial.

The outcome?

Nearly identical results to first study with even slightly greater weight loss seen at the end of the 2nd 8-week trial.7

The results of this study solidified the prestigious Platinum Standard of research, when two or more “gold standard” studies are successfully executed with same study protocol.

Both delivering statistically significant and similar findings.

To see such profound results in not one, but two peer-reviewed published studies of identical design spanning a total of 100 participants is exceptionally rare.

Does this substantiate the unparalleled effectiveness and potency of metabolism boosting foods:

• Blueberries
• Almonds
• Whey Protein
• Salmon
• Psyllium Husk
• Spinach
• Turkey

Antioxidant seems to be the new buzzword, but what about nature’s miracle foods and metabolism boosting foods?

Want to lose belly fat or get rid belly fat?

So what is this miracle spice that can rid belly fat or banish ugly abdominal fat?

Well, how to lose belly fat… some call it a miracle belly-fat spice for fat burning!

Obviously cinnamon does not directly increase fat burning (i,e. increase metabolic rate), it can essentially help you to burn abdominal fat.

You simply get healthier lifestyle and leaner in an indirect way.

Why?

Because cinnamon is one of the most overlooked, yet healthiest spices in the world. Yes, it can help you win the battle against the bulge by using it daily.

Allow me to explain…

Firstly, here are five benefits of eating cinnamon:

* Controls blood sugar levels
* Maintain insulin sensitivity
* Very powerful antioxidant
* Antibacterial properties
* Anti-fungal properties
* Dozens of other benefits…

Here’s how Cinnamon works…

Although cinnamon has many health benefits, you get leaner through it’s strong effect on controlling blood sugar levels in your body.

In a study published in 2003 from the medical journal Diabetes Care, one group was split in two, first group ate 1 – 6 grams of cinnamon per day in capsule form (approx 1/4th to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon).

The results of the study showed that cinnamon reduced fasting blood glucose levels by 18-29% after 40 days.

Cinnamon also increases insulin sensitivity, which means your body control blood sugar while simultaneously producing less insulin.

Chronically high insulin levels can make your body pack on the fat.

How to harness cinnamon and lose stubborn belly fat… add cinnamon daily for breakfast or meals, sprinkle in yogurt or cottage cheese, in smoothies, oatmeal, etc…

Also, you could take a daily dose (cinnamon capsule) before each of your meals.

This helps control blood sugar and insulin response from eating foods and thereby controlling your appetite and cravings throughout the day…

In other words you’re helping to lose body fat more effectively over time.

Now you can see why cinnamon is a powerful antioxidant that helps you stay youthful longer, this spice of life helps you to control blood sugar and get a leaner sexier body too!

Women are so busy these days and for reasons of time, cost and scheduling many find it very difficult to break free from the horrific dieting roller coaster…

1. Set a goal.

Identify your ideal weight and set up a plan to start reaching your goal.

2. Don’t be afraid to ask for and get help.

You’re not going to lose weight alone so tell you family.

Get support…

3. Vitamins can be good for you.

The American diet lacks essential vitamins and minerals. Balance your health with the best supplements.

4. Walk the Walk.

You burn calories when you walk, did you know that? Keep happily fit and active by balancing nutrition, health food and diet with regular exercise.

5. Sleep it off.

To be efficient at fat-burning, your body needs at least eight hours of sleep.

If you think you‘re doing yourself a favor by sleeping less, you‘re very much mistaken…

Before and After…Loss Weight Fast and Easy!

Watch this video below and see with your own eyes how fast and easy it is for some women to lose weight…without exercise or regardless of what they eat.

Is Weight Loss A Simple Phone Call Away?

Many women wanting to improve their weight loss results and eating habits may not be able to go see a dietitian or nutritionist for individual counseling.

Well, what about telephone counseling?

For women’s health, it’s becoming increasingly popular…these days!

Latest studies have reported it’s an effective strategy for behavior change.

A research study in the August 2008 issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association indicates counseling over the phone does indeed work.

Although uncontrolled, this telephone-counseling intervention over 3 months with a total of 8 phone calls to each participant…

This revealed even short periods of counseling can produce healthy weight loss with dietary changes.

Specifically, adults (97 people, mostly women) who were eating fewer than 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily…

Women were encouraged to increase their intake of fresh:

• Fruits
• Vegetables
• Whole grains
• Beans, legumes
• Fiber

Plasma carotenoids (antioxidants) were measured in 41 randomly selected people as a way of assessing their actual intake of vegetables and fruits.

Results of this study revealed those receiving the telephone intervention consumed significantly more vegetables (67 percent), fruits (71 percent increase)…

Whole grains and beans (40 percent) as indicated by significant increases in their total plasma carotenoids…than did those not receiving the telephone counseling.

Why does telephone weight loss counseling work?

In my opinion, the telephone allowed the coach to give expert advice consistently.

And it created a sense of accountability on the part of the participants, both of which paid off in more healthy eating choices.

Also, the subjects’ intake of fat significantly decreased as more fruits and vegetables were consumed.

Since fat contains more than twice the calories of carbohydrates or protein, the caloric intake of their meals naturally decreased.

This means not only did it increase their chances for weight loss, but also decreased their risk for heart disease.

While the ideal will always be to see a dietitian or health care provider face-to-face…

This research suggests other options are out there that might result in significant dietary changes.

The American Dietetic Association (ADA) has a directory of dietitians in all 50 states.

You can find one within a short distance of your home or office.

You can even specify the particular area of nutrition counseling you’d like to receive, including weight management.

Just go to the ADA Web site, click on “Find a Nutrition Professional Near You,” and enter your zip code.

Some of the dietitians may do phone consultations or even make house calls!
