Weight Loss Boot Camp

• An extract of white kidney beans. A protein compound that blocks an enzyme in the intestine (alpha amylase) keeping it from breaking down starch, as it normally would do. As a result, starch passes into your large intestine rather than converting to sugar, and consequently fat.

Working in conjunction with each other these ingredients help to block the enzymes responsible for converting carbohydrates to sugar and thus fat while balancing out hunger hormones. There is only one product that combines these two ingredients, giving you positive results: Healthy Curb®®! Healthy Curb®® uses only food and food extracts. There are no stimulants and herbs, which can be unhealthy when taken over time. The type of prospecting for safe obesity treatments led researchers to evaluate the ingredients in Healthy Curb®® and have yielded the best natural compound to both influence appetite and augment a calorie-reduction plan.

Better Understanding your Problem
In a world full of shortcuts and magic bullets, it’s refreshing to discover that some basic staples of nutrition can make weight loss easier than you think. This issue of Natural Health Breakthroughs will help you jump start your weight loss program and improve your overall health by better understanding:

• The common relations of epidemic diseases resulting from obesity
• How healthy digestion promotes healthy body weight
• How to use natural slimming methods and supplements to address
your specific health concerns.

Metabolic Syndrome
In a time where food is readily available to everyone in seemingly unlimited quantities it is not surprising that weight has become a serious health risk. In times past, food was a scarcity, thus weight was regulated by nature. However, in most developed countries that’s no longer the case. The result is an epidemic of weight problems and related illnesses. For instance, obesity is a known risk factor for diabetes, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke and hypertension, to name but a few. All of these are indicative of a much greater problem known as Metabolic Syndrome (MS). MS is defined as a lifestyle condition, marked by abdominal obesity, elevated blood fats (cholesterol and triglycerides), chronic inflammation, and high blood pressure.

Feeling Stuffed?
A person’s sense of being ‘stuffed’ or ‘bloated’ is generally experienced during or immediately following a meal when food from the meal is still in the stomach, which is the upper part of the digestive tract. Carbohydrates are broken apart in the upper part of the digestive tract from the mouth thru the stomach. This process begins the breakdown of carbohydrates. By breaking down the carbohydrates surfaces change. If you think of a carbohydrate as a piece of paper, it only has four edges by which it can be absorbed or broken down further by the body’s enzymes. Now, squish the paper into a ball and you increase the number of points to which the enzymes can enter.

Because of this, carbohydrates, particularly complex carbs and starches, now act as a sponge absorbing more and more enzymes at a time. This sponge then resides in your stomach, which is located approximately at the lower center of your rib cage. That is why immediately after eating, especially carbohydrates, a person feels that pushed out feeling that is so uncomfortable.

Energy Drain
Equally often people complain that after eating, especially lunch, they experience a period of uncontrollable tiredness. It is most often a fact that lunch is the most carbohydrate filled meal of the day. Due to the work habits of the U. S. population, it tends to sway more towards fast foods and take-outs. This tired experience is also related to the early digestion of carbohydrates. It causes an almost immediate sugar spike and then insulin rises and falls; all of which creates a strong sense of tiredness.

Keep Carbs at Bay!
Because Healthy Curb®® prevents the starches from being broken down in the upper part of the digestive tract, consumers don’t get that ‘stuffed’ or ‘bloated’ sensation. Instead the carbohydrates pass into the large and small intestines reasonably intact. Thus, the sponge effect is avoided to a great extent. This process also prevents the ‘insulin surges’ many people experience after eating which is the rapid diffusion of sugar into the blood stream via the small intestine. When this happens many people complain of going thru a period of tiredness after eating and this is most noticed after lunch when people return to work. Consumers using Healthy Curb®® report that this phenomenon stops. The loss of tiredness can also be attributed to the anti-fatigue relief already provided by the NT Factor®.

Healthy Digestion
The digestive benefits of Healthy Curb®® are not limited to merely avoiding discomfort. As the undigested carbohydrates pass into the large intestine they serve as fiber thereby providing well-documented health benefits including better elimination and anti-colon cancer attributes. The fiber is then acted upon by the probiotic features of NT Factor® causing an additional strengthening of the immune systems, as well as many metabolites used for energy and detoxification. The synergy of these benefits assures comfortable and reliable elimination. Many other weight management products cause a disruption in the bodies normal elimination.

Get Recharged Naturally
If you feel your energy is fading, sleep alone may not be enough to keep you sharp. Many of us rely on caffeinated beverages to get a quick burst of energy. Caffeine jolts from coffee or soda are not only fleeting, but also, because they are initiated by artificial substances, can actually do more harm than good. Reliance on caffeine or sugar can lead to dependency and perpetuate a cycle of tiredness, making you feel even more fatigued. NT Factor® contained in Healthy Curb®® is a sound nutritional option for increasing energy. NT Factor® is a nutrient complex rich in phosphoglycolipids, which are essential for the structure, function and regeneration or all biological membranes. Two recent clinical studies concluded that NT Factor® significantly reduces fatigue among patients. Consider your energy crisis solved!

Fighting Obesity One Meal at a Time
The biggest problem to overcome is the fact that eating causes the pleasure center of our brains to become stimulated, telling us that eating is a very good thing – especially when it comes to carbohydrates. Because carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for the body it is the one the brain craves the most.

The second problem we face is the release of certain hormones known as hunger hormones. Released in the gastro-intestinal tract these hormones tell us when to eat and when to stop. The most important of these is ghrelin. It is this hormone that tells our bodies when we are hungry. When this hormone is out of balance our bodies feel hungry more often and in greater quantity. Other hormones regulate when we feel full and the conversion of food into sugar. These challenges combined need to be overcome in order to lose excess pounds and stay at a healthy weight level.
