“Brain Controlled Weight Loss” by Rich Bryda and Jennifer Jolan


I often hear about people who complain they cannot lose weight no matter how hard they try. They are constantly on a diet, they exercise every day, they make sure they only eat healthy foods, but, still, they do not see any changes in their weight. I’ve never understood how this could be possible, and I’m sure they never understood either. “Brain Controlled Weight Loss – The Solution to Failed Diets & Exercise Programs” might just have the answers we have always been looking for. So, if you want to know the real reasons behind your weight loss problems, this book is the right place to start.

“Brain Controlled Weight Loss” comes with a completely new approach, being based on new research that has discovered that what really causes the weight problems so many people suffer of nowadays is an imbalance of chemicals in the brain. Using easy to understand language, the authors first explain in great detail why the brain is so important. You will understand why some people crave sugar and caffeine, while others crave greasy high fat foods. Moreover, you’ll find out that because of certain brain imbalances some people actually need to eat more calories in order to lose weight. By reading this book, you might find out that you’ve tried to lose weight the wrong way all along. But the good thing is that you can finally learn how to do it right, because this weight loss guide doesn’t only give you a lot of insightful information, but also offers you solutions to your problem.

The 4 chemicals that cause the imbalance in the brain are discussed in detail in separate chapters. Thus, you will learn everything you need to know about dopamine – the reward chemical, serotonin – the happy chemical, GABA – the excitement chemical, and acetylcholine – the nervy chemical. By having this information, you will be able to understand better how your brain works and how you can control it to send the right messages to your body.

“Brain Controlled Weight Loss” comes with 11 additional free bonus reports that you will find very useful. For example, you will have access to a free bonus book that contains a list of 15 healthy snacks. A truly healthy diet should not make you feel hungry all the time and should not stop you from having snacks between meals. If you use this book to fix the imbalances in your brain, then you will be able to eat anything you want without gaining back weight.

“The Ultimate Guide to Coconut Oil” by Brian Night is Free on Amazon on August 28th

Many people buy and use coconut oil, especially in the kitchen, and most of them know that it is very healthy, but do they really know exactly why? Do they know how it helps the body and how to use it in order to take full advantage of its properties? For instance, did you know that coconut oil can also be used to cure acne and to prevent hair loss? Or, did you know that researches have found that it can even help prevent Alzhiemers? Brian Night’s book – “The Ultimate Guide to Coconut Oil: How to Use Coconut Oil to Lose Weight, Prevent Allergies, and Boost Your Immune System” – will tell you everything you need to know about coconut oil.

Brian Night’s guide is entirely based on studies and researches that have proven that coconut oil can be used in many ways to increase both internal and external health. It’s no wonder it has become so popular in the recent years, since it has been labeled as a super food. Coconut oil is easy to digest, it can be used in many delicious recipes, and it is well-known that it can play an important role in weight loss. But that’s not all. Studies have shown that coconut oil can kill bacteria, lower cholesterol, fight off viruses and infections, and boost the immune system. Introducing it in your diet can be the best way to prevent serious diseases, and we all know it is easier to prevent than cure. So, if you want to have a healthy lifestyle, you might consider introducing some recipes that use coconut oil in your family’s regular diet.

The best thing about this guide is that it is full of information and recipes that anyone can prepare with minimum effort. And when I say recipes, I don’t only refer to delicious meals, but also to skin moisturizing recipes and recipes that will cure and prevent hair loss. Coconut oil contains a large amount of moisture, which means that it can easily cure dry skin and a dry scalp, which is the main cause of dandruff. Those who suffer of acne will find this book very useful, as it explains the causes of acne and how coconut oil can help cure it.

What’s more, “The Ultimate Guide to Coconut Oil” will also teach you how to choose the best type of coconut oil. If you decide to use it, then it is best to be informed and to know exactly what type to buy and what recipes to prepare according to your needs. The book is free on Amazon on August 28th, so this is your chance to download it and find out everything you ever wanted to know about coconut oil.

Sugar The True #1 Cause of Weight Gain


Very few researchers have discovered the true cause of weight loss. Did  you know that every low-calorie diet ever created contains sugar?

Sugar is the true cause of weight gain, not calories. By realizing this you will be able to shed as much as 11-14 pounds in a two week duration.

Eliminating sugar targets the release of belly fat.

What if I told you that almost everything you have been told about weight gain is wrong?

In every grocery store label you will find foods that are packed with sugar.
Belly fat is not lost by controlling calories. It is lost by completely eliminating sugar from your diet.

Insulin is the regulator of blood sugar. This hormone drives cells to burn carbohydrates instead of fat.
When this hormone is imbalanced it stimulates the production of more fat.
Insulin is not someting that only diabetics need to control, it is a hormone in all of us that needs to be
balanced.

Most people that are newly overweight get defensive, " I am not a diabetic!"

If you have belly fat, your insulin hormone is causing you to produce it because of your intake of carbohydrates that produce fat. That is a fact.

The Atkins diet singled out carbohydrates but recommended the intake of fat and various sugars that are alcohol based ( xylitol). The diet only created a process called ketosis where your body was set into motion to drain the water weight. The fat remained. That tough belly fat and arm flab.
Most people that have gone on Atkins went insane for a bagel or a piece of bread, because the diet was not condusive to kicking your addiction to starches which are full of sugar.

Most other diets allow breads and pastas because they tell you to exercise it off. They are doing people a great dis-service. It takes 3 days to burn off one portion of rice, pasta or bread according to most endocrinolgy research ( Dr. Schwarzbein). So you are kept on this perpetual hamster treadmill and you again are losing water weight, not burning fat.

Without lowering your insulin hormone levels, it is impossible to burn fat. In order to see true fat burn you must completely eliminate sugar from your diet. All sugar! No splenda, NutraSweet, Saccharin. Fructose. These are all sugar. Google these. They are described as " low-calorie" sweeteners. Again, as I stated above, the secret to losing weight is not reducing calories, it is eliminating sugar.

In the following days we will be discussing satisfying strategies to feeling full, satisfied, and launching your true fat burn. Stay Tuned.


Detox Weight Loss Lose 5 pounds of Water Weight in 7 Days. Make This Drink At Home



Dandelion Root Tea can be found at Whole Foods, Vitamin Shoppe or Bought very inexpensively online at Amazon.com


Steep the dandelion tea to your taste, some people are bothered by the taste of it, so they substitute For Yogi Detox Tea or Another Safe Brand of Detox Tea


Your lemon juice should ideally be fresh squeezed. You can peel a juicy large lemon, pulverize in a blender and strain for the juice or get Organic Bottled Lemon Juice. Lemon juice alkalizes the blood stream and cleanses the impurities.





The cranberry juice should be unsweetened," Knudsens" and "Whole Foods" are two label brands. 
 Unsweetened Cranberry Juice can be found in the organic aisle of most grocery stores carry an unsweetened juice. If It is hard to Find, you can also buy the organic cranberry juice concentrate and mix the juice separately before putting 2 Tablespoons. The reason why we add cranberry juice is because you will be pulling off a great deal of water by urinating. Cranberry juice provides the necessary enzyme balance to balance the bladder and is a good preventative for urinary tract infections.



Try to drink at least 60- 64 oz. of this mixture every day. If you are very active, or are trying to lose weight, try to drink even more than that amount. If the effects of the detox are too strong for you to handle, dilute your mixture with more water.

If you think the taste is too strong or unpleasant of dandelion tea, you can dilute the mixture to your taste or use a different brand of detox tea. If you are unable to tolerate any of the detox teas then you can use green tea as a final alternative.

This beverage is a diuretic and when you drink this expect for the water pull to dehydrate you so keep up with your normal water intake . You do not have to starve yourself. You can eat when you do this detox.

 Eat as if you are dieting. Eat more vegetables and protein sourced from beans, meat, poultry or seafood. Refrain from or reduce portions of breads and pasta. If you must eat them, then let bread/flour sourced carbs your smallest portion and eat them earlier in the day to allow enough time to burn off.

To figure out how many calories you should eat per day to lose weight.
Multiply your ideal weight X 11.
So if you want to be 130 pounds X 11 =  1430 calories per day
or divided by 3 meals is an average of  477 calories a meal

If you are over 200 pounds you dont want to zero in on your ideal weight because you do not want to yo-yo with a fast weight drop and quickly regain weight back. So calculate your calories based on losing weight in 30 pound increments.
200-30 = 170 pounds
x11
----------------
= 1870 calories
this bulk of calories should be more vegetable based and meat portions should only be the size of the palm of your hand, in order for you to eat well, feel full and still lose weight.

You are drinking 60 ounces per day.
You will need to run to the bathroom due to the pulling off of water weight.

This drink is best used to pull of water weight gain related to before or after your menstrual cycle.
Men have also used this tea with good success for water weight loss.

This is best used only 7 days.
You can make a detox diet routine of pulling off water weight once a month.

Ideally you should lose 5 pounds, however, depending upon how much water weight you are carrying you could pull off more. If you are pulling off too much water and you feel weak or dehydrated, drink Smart Water to replenish your electrolytes. 

Please consult with your doctor for any health related questions. If you have high blood pressure this will pull off sodium and your blood pressure may decrease so take your blood pressure min 2 times per day or if you feel dizzy or weak. Diabetics also check your blood sugar because this will cause a drop in blood sugar. You may want  to dilute the tea for a slower but more stable effect.

If you experience any extreme discomfort with the tea that is unbearable,
 switch detox tea brands or use green tea instead.

If you have never detoxed before, try to schedule this during a week where you will be
closer to home or a restroom.
If you are not sure how you will feel, test the tea over a weekend to see
if you can tolerate doing a detox.
Typically people report the first two days being the hardest and feeling great energy by day 3 or 4.




I'm on a seafood diet. I see food and I eat it.

Ditch the Juice

Have an apple instead. A glass of apple juice has the calories of almost three apples. Studies also show that regular fruit juice intake may increase diabetes risk by 50% due to massive sugar hits. The fiber -- which is what helps you fill up faster -- is left out of the juice. By making this one swap you'll save calories every day."

Eating Parsley

Parsley is said to stimulate the appetite and to be good for rheumatism.
