Your Body May Not Let You Lose Weight

It's true! Your body is equipped with mechanisms that will allow it stay in an environment it thinks it needs to be in (homeostasis).

That is why it's no surprise that the scientific study discussed on You Can't Burn Just Fat reports that even when taking a supplement that promises to burn fat, your body will convert stored glucose into fat.

It is precisely this that separates our Whey Protein Blend from the rest. IT IS DIFFERENT from all other whey proteins on the market, and we have the double blind, placebo controlled clinical trials to prove it! Unlike whole whey protein products which are sold for building muscle mass, this exclusive peptide technology only has branches from whey protein (subsets) that have proven to accelerate the breakdown of fat (lipolysis) - the bulk of the whey was discarded. The mix was then enriched with calcium and magnesium (from plan sources, not salts, mined, or chemical).

This exclusive peptide technology has four very healthy mechanisms of action required for optimal fat loss:

1. Protein synthesis - provides three branched amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) essential for your body to make protein
   
2. Inhibition ACE - angiotensin-converting enzyme promotes storage/accumulation of fat. By inhibiting it, it loses it's ability to store fat, thereby preventing the formation of new fat cells.
3. * Promostes production of CCK - cholecystokinin is secreted by gland after you have consumed some food (some fats or proteins) and send signal to the brain telling it that you are satisfied and to stop making you fell hungry
4. Calcitrophic Hormone Regulation - regulates whether you will burn the fat or not.

* If taken 20 minutes before meals, as is recommended. Product can be taken at any time (before, during, after meals) twice a day. But you gain a mechanisms by taking it 20 minutes before a meal.

Studies

Two test groups told to log food intake to see actual caloric intake. Told to reduce by 500 calories. Told to do increase activity. Told to take product (or placebo) twice a day, 20 minutes before meals.

Both groups dropped almost the same amount of weight. But those who took peptide product lose almost twice as much fat per pound lost when compared to control group.

If you struggle with weight loss, even after dieting and doing exercise, you need this product. You will undoubtedly benefit from the four action mechanisms described above. Contact us now and receive a 6 month, full money back guarantee.

Why do you Crave Food?

Have you ever wondered what's behind the crazy cravings that pregnant women go through? Have you ever wondered why you sometimes crave very specific foods to the point where you can hardly think of anything else?

For the past few years I have been explaining these cravings to others as it was told to me by an extremely respected pathologist from the Dallas area, and a very prestigious naturopath:

Food Cravings
Your body learns what nutrients are present in the foods that you have eaten. This information is stored somewhere in the brain. Then, when you are lacking a certain nutrient, it instructs you to eat the foods that it KNOWS contains these needed nutrients.

Addiction
They go a little further and hypothesize that addictive molecules somehow deliver similar physiological responses as do nutrients. This may be an explanation why many people who quit smoking have an increased appetite, or why cravings for addictive substances can many times be minimized by certain foods or supplements.

I hadn't really looked up studies that either confirmed or denied this, mostly for the lack of time, but this morning I read an article that confirms what I heard and have been telling my prospects and associates for the past few years.

Decode your food cravings
The article can be found at Decode your food cravings, is on MSNBC.com and carries the subtitle of "The urge to scarf can be a clue to your body's nutritional needs."

Article Summary
Research included more than 18,000 people and lasted over 25 years. If you crave salty food, you many have a mineral deficiency, as "studies have shown that women who eat low-calcium diets want salty foods more than those who get enough of the bone builder." Chocolate cravings, your body needs "antidepressant in dessert form" because your "happy chemicals are bottoming out and you need a quick lift." Cravings for spicy foods may be an indication that you are too hot and need to cool down. If you crave very sweet, sugary foods, you may be down and need a little pick-up. The next time you crave those tiny chocolate covered salty pretzels, it may be because you may just be looking for a little energy boost.

I suggest that you read the article as it goes into a little bit of detail as to what each of these cravings may say about your personality.

How to Make your Own Vaccine

An interesting set of events evolved today.

First my father showed me this video. Interesting, as it is true that vaccines WILL NOT display ingredients on labels.



Then I thought.. Okay, so a detergent in chemistry isn't used to keep things clean. It's used, rather to separate proteins from membranes, breaking cells apart, etc. Won't get into the details but detergents are WIDELY used in biochemistry. Many naysayers may not believe that the ingredients listed on the video are actually put into vaccines. I've gone ahead and looked up common vaccine ingredients on your behalf.

Then, a little while ago, I saw this on MSNB.com's front page:
"Va. teen suffers rare illness after swine flu shot"
"Boy diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome, but CDC says no clear link"
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33845867/ns/health-cold_and_flu/

No clear link? You should read this previous post of mine:
Is H1N1 (Swine Flu) Vaccine linked to Paralysis? where the CDC states that "On very rare occasions, they may develop GBS in the days or weeks following receiving a vaccination."

4 Glyconutrients Mentioned in Molecular Biology Class

When I describe glyconutrients, I describe them as essential monosaccharides found on cellular surfaces that are used for cellular communication, recognition, and adhesion.

But today in my Molecular Cellular Biology class we talked about the function and importance of 4 of the 8 glyconutrients INSIDE the cell. Yes! Glyconutrients play an extremely important role in the transportation of peptides and proteins from the nucleus to the membrane. The three glyconutrients mentioned in class are:

N-acetyl glucosamine
N-acetyl galatosamine
Mannose

Brief overview of the making of a protein:

Genes transcribe mRNA through a process that I will not explain here (animation)
mRNA exists nucleus through pores
mRNA gets translated into proteins at RER
N-acetyl glucosamiine attached to asparagine amino acid (process called N-glycosylation)
- helps protein fold, activating protein
- If mannose is attached instead, protein was detected as defective and it gets sent to be degraded (broken down) instead of getting sent through to the next step in the 'protein assembly line'
Protein goes from RER to Golgi Apparatus where it gets O-glycosylated with N-acetylgalactosamine attached to a serine. This signals cell to transport glycosylated protein to the membrane (or beyond it).

The fourth glyconutrient that was mentioned was glucose. We were talking about transporters and the professor used glucose transporter for her example.

Getting Comfortable with People who Make you Uncomfortable

I tweeted this article a few months back and thought it would be a great idea to summarize the article in English and translated it into Spanish at http://glicoentrenador.blogspot.com/

Getting Comfortable with People who Make you Uncomfortable

This article gets an A+ from me right off the bat because I strongly identify with its first couple of sentences: "If you’re out to create something truly great, you’ll likely need to challenge some widely held — but incorrect — beliefs. Challenging conventional wisdom is much harder than most people realize, and those that do make us uncomfortable."

The article also says that, "It’s very challenging to make decisions based on your own information and logic when everyone disagrees with your point of view." And this is the basis that the article uses to suggest that you hire people who disagree and make you uncomfortable.

The suggested "Weird Ideas that Work" are:

1. Identify your heroes
   Keep in mind that brilliant minds in the past have made everyone around them uncomfortable because of what they were trying to achieve.
   
2. Adjust your hiring process to focus on what really matters
   "Spend more time thinking about interview-based experiments that you can run on candidates to test what really matters for the role and you might find yourself hiring a different type of person."
3. If you have a negative reaction to an idea, use the 5 Whys
   Method to get at the root cause of a problem. Let's say your computer won't start. Ask yourself why. Battery ran out, ask yourself why. and on. Obviously you want to apply this to deeper problems.
   
4. Consider increasing organizational diversity
   Diversity has greater potential for better results. Here, don't look for diversity in skin color. You want to concentrate on personality, cultural, and educational (among other) diversity.

Five Reasons why no one Likes You on Twitter

Five Reasons why no one Likes You on Twitter

I tweeted this article a few months back and thought it would be a great idea to summarize the article in English and translated it into Spanish at http://glicoentrenador.blogspot.com/

The five reasons (explanations for each reason are my own comments):

1. Everyone can see that you are in it for the numbers, not the people
   If your main goal is to have a high rank and grade on Grader or a similar service, people will see right through you and will most likely decide to not follow. Eventually, you will have no real people following you. Your followers will be bots, spammers, and auto-followers.
   
2. You understand social media, but you don’t understand how to be ’social'
   Twitter is about socializing! Yes. You should read tweets posted by those you are following and reply to tweets, post comments on blogs, and retweet (RT) when you come across something of interest.
   
3. You don’t listen
4. You don’t care about the people you want to be following you
   You must care about others! That's the key! When I get see a congratulatory tweet from someone I am following to someone I am not following and who isn't following me, I will take a look at the unknown profile and see if this person just achieved something that I should congratulate them on. At the very minimum you will have a brief chat with that person. That user has just promoted your username to all of his/her followers.
   
5. You don’t promote others
   I automatically unfollow tweeps who do not give credit via RT's to others. Let's say one sends original and very interesting tweets. Then I see two sending the exact same tweets a few hours later. Once, twice... Conisidence, but I note it. If I see it continuously, I unfollow. I also take a look at the profile of those who follow me. If I don't see them sending public messages to other users or they have there are no RT's visible, I'm not going to follow that tweep back.
   

Essentially, people want to follow those who provide interesting information, those who can contribute positively to conversations, and those who are willing to edify others. Be real, converse with other tweeps.
