Stop the "Yo-yo" Dieting Syndrome

© 1999 Richard N. Ash, M.D.

   Most people on a diet experience weight cycling (the repeated loss and regain of body weight). This kind of "yo-yo" dieting may be harmful to your health. Obesity, which is defined as weighing twenty percent or more than your ideal weight has been linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, gout, gallbladder disease, cancer, and a shortened life expectancy. No one would argue that weight loss is not an appropriate goal for someone who is overweight. If you are ready to lose weight, its important that your dieting efforts speed up your metabolic rate. Metabolic rate is the rate at which food is burned for energy. A slowing of metabolism as you age is common and considered normal by most dieticians and physicians. A faster metabolic rate translates into leaner bodies.

    Pure EssentialsÒ Cell Nutrition has been designed to assist you to lose fat and create lean body mass—all without drugs, deprivation, or denial. Most weight-loss systems on the market are good, but they often fail because they do not compensate for pH or the body becoming too acid. Too much cellular acidity block the body’s hormonal pathways and decreases metabolism. When you take Pure EssentialsÒ Cell Nutrition, your body will naturally become more alkaline and this is where you can function in optimal metabolism. This complex of cellular nutrients helps to jump-start your metabolism and satisfy your hunger. This means it will actually be easier to lose weight while eating more food.

    The principal goal of a diet should be to enhance hormone metabolism. Enhancing hormone activity and reception will make your diet more effective and lasting. Hormone-enhancing nutrients and foods can help you reduce cravings, increase your energy levels, suppress your appetite, and stimulate the release of fat-burning hormones.

    Most people overeat because of poor nutrition and hormone imbalances.  And, they react by eating excessive amounts of refined carbohydrates and simple sugars that stimulate the release of the sugar-regulating hormone, insulin. When insulin is overstimulated, they crave more refined carbohydrates, and these starches and simple sugars are stored as fat. For example, cravings for chocolate or sweets are quite common. Since craving sweets is caused by low blood sugar (excessive insulin) and other hormonal imbalances, supplementing with nutrients that regulate blood sugar is an important dietary goal. The good news is, you can control cravings by maintaining balance between your hormones or maintaining your blood sugar at an even level, preventing blood sugar highs and lows and food cravings.

    Rather than focusing on caloric intake, Pure EssentialsÒ Cell Nutrition products helps you concentrate on foods that enhance hormone production while helping your body eliminate toxins. Most importantly, this unique program helps synchronize your mind with your body to eliminate mood swings and emotional eating.

   When you find yourself rummaging through the refrigerator for something to relieve stress, anxiety, anger, frustration, boredom, loneliness, and depression, you sabatoge your best efforts to maintain a healthy diet. Eating pepperoni and cheese may quell your emotions temporarily, but 20 minutes later the same emotion can reemerge causing you to also feel guilty and a failure. After decades of research, Pure EssentialsÒ Cell Nutrition has been developed to break the food-mood chain. What’s the secret? First, the nutrients are designed to balance hormones and brain neurotransmitters that control emotions. Secondly, by eliminating pollutants hormones work better so it becomes easier to differentiate between your physical body’s physical hunger and its emotional ones.

    Think about it.The body needs fuel to function optimally and lose weight. When the body runs out of slow-burning fuel, we gain weight. The rate of this energy depletion is dependent upon our diet. The more acidic our cells and tissues become, the faster we gain weight and the less hormones we produce. When we’re too acidic, we can’t digest fats efficiently. A lack of essential fatty acids creates deficiencies of hormones and ecosanoids. Diminished hormone levels result in a decrease in the body’s ability to convert and store energy, the primary cause of weight-related problems. That is why the use of Pure EssentialsÒ Cell Nutrition makes so much sense.

"Taking these supplements in between meals helps keep the metabolic fires stoked and encourages your body to burn calories rather than to store them."

   Imagine no false promises, restrictive diets, or ridiculous exercise routines. Instead, a healthy diet that works in harmony with your body, your emotions, and your environment. Unfortunately, many of us have lost touch with our bodies after too much dieting. As we become more acidic, the body’s natural signals of hunger and satiety get distorted so that we no longer understand them—we gain weight.

   We live in a stress filled world, pressures build, anxieties mount, depression can be overwhelming. At times like these, your body signals you to search for nourishment. By avoiding addictive sugars, refined carbohydrates, and caffeine, you can satisfy these signals or make them get more intense. When the signals get too intense you eat more and the body’s metabolism slows down. And the body stores fat.

    Fine tuning your body-mind with the Pure EssentialsÒ Cell Nutrition will help you concentrate on honing your ability to hear your body's signals and respond to them appropriately with the right foods. Taking these supplements in between meals helps keep the metabolic fires stoked and encourages your body to burn calories rather than to store them. This unique approach allows you to boost your metabolic rate, a key factor in losing weight. In addition this program allows your body and mind to be the ultimate experts in your quest for better fitness. To really make this program work, you’ll have to listen to your inner signals. Here are a few guidelines that will help you work in harmony with your body’s signals:

  • Don’t continue to eat even after you have become full.

  • Never eat when you’re not physically hungry.

  • Don’t count calories or attempt to control the amount of food you eat if it leaves you hungry.

  • Avoid addictive foods (juices, sodas, caffeine and sugar-containing beverages and foods, refined carbohydrates).

  • Exercise daily. Search for activities that you enjoy. Hiking, dancing, brisk walking, cross- country skiing can provide a terrific workout and are a lot more fun than riding a stationary bike or toiling at a treadmill.

  • Take the Pure Essential Cell Nutrition powder and capsules to help you burn fat and reduce inches safely and effectively—without causing malnourishment.
