New Study Says, "Don't Focus on Weight Loss"!

Researchers concluded that "Dieting and other weight-loss efforts may unintentionally lead to weight gain and diminished health status" in a recent literary review.

Our Suggestion/Strategy Remains the Same
For years we have done our best to steer people away from the "quick, short-term diet" mentality and towards a "learn about healthy habits and how to incorporate them into your life" way of thinking.

There are many well-known reasons why this is a much better strategy. In essence, ANYTHING that sets a time limit should be cautiously considered. Instead of buying a 5-day, two-week, or two-month diet or workout plan, look into a long-term commitment.

We understand nutritionists and other professionals from the wellness industry have good intentions when they tell their clients exactly what to eat. We feel it is better to TEACH these clients HOW to eat. Take the time to teach them how to manage quantities and how to rotate foods so that a wider variety of nutrients are ingested.

We challenge all health & wellness professionals to have your clients/patients depend on you ONLY for information and not for meal and exercise plans. Instead of handing them a list of foods to eat at specific times during the next few weeks, sit down and explain how THEY should construct a meal plan. Teach them about the glycemic index, proper exercise, and how to calculate the amount of water each needs to drink.

We challenge clients/patients who go to weight-loss professionals to not take these prepared diet regimens. Instead, ask HOW YOU can construct a meal plan on your own. If you only learn that "you need to eat this at this time and come back for a new plan in three weeks" you will never be in control of your health. And, as suggested in this study, you may struggle with weighloss and possibly do more harm than good. Bottom line, your health and wellbeing is no one else's responsibility but your own. Go on GlycoTrainer.com and spend 30 to 60 minutes a day reading and learning about your body, nutrition, and physical activity.

If you have already changed your eating habits and have started to exercise but are disappointed about your results, contact us. Our fitness and weight management products are fantastic. Our whey protein blend is backed by numerous clinical studies where it has proven to aid in fat burn (50% more than with diet and exercise alone).

Stop Drinking your Protein Supplement Until you Read This

In it's July 2010 issue, Consumer Reports has issue a statement of concern against 15 very popular protein drinks.

The report indicates that the protein may be unnecessary and that there are heavy metal contaminants in these popular protein drinks.

It is very important that you not purchase ANY supplement based on price. If you are looking to save money, don't buy anything. As mentioned in the "Homeopathic and Allopathic Approaches" page on our site, "In May of 2009, Sports Illustrated published an article that mentioned that there are more than 5,000 companies that sell supplements 'but only a dozen companies have volunteered their products for certification.' Without this certification, you are playing a form of Russian roulette."

Unnecessary protein
What do they mean? Aren't soy and whey protein good for everyone? The protein is good, however the American diet already offers more than the recommended .8grams of protein for every kg in weight (1kg = 2.2lb). The body does not store excess protein. When you drink this (especially close a meal) the body will use as much as it can for muscle. If there is an excess, it will convert as much as it can (and as much as it needs to) into glucose, the rest is immediately removed from the body via urine. So most of the protein simply passes through your body without doing anything. You are literally peeing your money away (as with most supplements that are not absorbed by the body).

Contaminants
This is very bad. Inexpensive supplements are very likely to not follow Good Manufacturing Process (GMP) protocols. This allows for a variation in nutritional content from dose to dose but even worse... It allows for contaminant, in this case heavy (lethal) metals, because there is no process set into place that removes these and later checks before packaging. There have been several reports of people overdosing on vitamins and minerals because a pill had 200 times the amount that the label said. The product is not standardized... Some pills could have a lot more than supposed to and some pills could have none. But heavy metals should never be present. Do not purchase products based on price because one supplement is almost never the same as the next.

Heavy metals can kill you.

Our recommendation
That you try this whey protein blend. The manufacturer follows the strictest GMPs for all of their products. It has since the beginning. It is one of those 12 companies that Sports Illustrated says have voluntarily asked for NSF International certification. While not all of the products have been evaluated by NSF International those that have, passed with flying colors. All products are manufactured by the same quality assurance guidelines (it just takes time and a lot of money to get all products certified). This will eliminate the heavy metal scare...

But what about the fact that we are already getting enough protein? These scientists thought of that. They found active peptides in whey protein and removed them using natural enzymes. A peptides is a shorter chain of amino acids than a protein. Most of the whey protein is discarded in the process. Instead, you get a serving of the specific amino acids that have been scientifically proven to help eliminate fat and reduce muscle loss during diet and exercise.

This advanced peptide technology has four mechanism by which it aids in fat loss.
