Is this you?

1. Are you overweight despite the fact that you don’t eat that much?

2. Do you have an inexplicable obsession with food?

3. Do you suffer specific symptoms of ill health that lessen as soon as you eat?  Symptoms such as: irritability, inexplicable drops in strength and stamina, bouts of fatigue, mood swings, difficulty in concentrating, sleep difficulties, anxiety, sadness, depression, dizziness, trembling, palpitations, brain fog and loss of mental sharpness.

4. Do you have a single food or beverage you feel you could not do without?

 These factors indicate a metabolic CARBOHYDRATE disturbance.  This weight-loss plan offers you a metabolic advantage.

90% of overweight people are CARBOHYDRATE sensitive – often they’re true CARBOHYDRATE addicts.  Much of the desire and craving for carbohydrate food is actually metabolic addiction. 

What are carbohydrates?

Food is divided into 3 basic categories – proteins, fats and carbohydrates.  There are 2 types of carbohydrates : complex carbohydrates and simple carbohydrates. 

Complex carbohydrates are the healthy ones.  They include UNrefined, UNimproved and UNmanufactured fresh food like most vegetables, nuts, seeds, pulses, fibre, some grains and starches, and fruits. 

Simple carbohydrates are the sugars found in some fruits, milk and honey as well as refined foods like cane-sugar, white flour and white rice that have NO nutritional value and are directly harmful to health, and folly for the waistline. 

From proteins your body absorbs amino acids – from fats your body absorbs glycerol and fatty acids – from CARBOHYDRATES your body absorbs glucose (sugar).  Your body is an energy machine, never resting, always metabolically active – and it powers its operations mainly (but not only) through glucose in the blood.  Your body obtains its principle supply of fuel, glucose, by eating.  Obviously, if you eat a lot of carbohydrates, you’ll produce a lot of glucose in your blood, which will cause your blood sugar to rise. 

What is WRONG with carbohydrates?

Your body’s capacity to deal with UNREFINED (complex) carbohydrates is quite adequate.  They have a slow digestion rate and when absorbed into the bloodstream, your blood sugar stays between normal levels. 

Your body’s capacity to deal with REFINED (simple) carbohydrates, which produce an excess of quick energy, is poor.  Digestion of refined carbohydrates is too fast and glucose enters your bloodstream too rapidly.  This causes a sharp fast rise in your blood sugar (hyperglycaemia) and plummets to a low point (hypoglycaemia) thereafter. 

Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) promotes: irritability, aggressive outbursts, palpitations, lack of sex drive, crying spells, dizziness, anxiety, confusion, forgetfulness, inability to concentrate, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, nausea, muscle cramps, excess sweating and excessive thirst.

High blood sugar (hyperglycaemia) promotes: obesity, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, cardiovascular conditions, high triglyceride levels, cholesterol, lowered immunity, vision damage, wear and tear on body organs. 

Overweight caused by a disturbed CARBOHYDRATE metabolism involves INSULIN.  The insulin hormone is the single MOST SIGNIFICANT DETERMINANT OF WEIGHT. 

What is insulin?  

It is an essential hormone in your body that controls blood sugar. It controls the use, distribution and storage of glucose.  Insulin governs the basic mechanism by which your body stores fat therefore it is called the “fattening hormone”. 

How does insulin work?  As the glucose level in your blood rises, insulin converts a portion of that glucose into glycogen, which is then stored in your muscles and liver and is readily available for energy use.  If all your glycogen storage areas are filled, and there is more glucose in your blood beyond that which your body needs to function, insulin will convert the EXCESS glucose to fatty tissue. 

Carbohydrates stimulate insulin activity.  Restricting CARBOHYDRATE intake in your diet (especially the refined ones) can circumvent the over-stimulation of insulin which leads to a metabolic defect.  Carbohydrates are the food subdivision that causes you to be FAT.

START the process of losing weight – (burning fat)

The more the carbohydrate intake, the less your body loses fat.  Your body needs fuel for bodily functions, but does NOT need to get it from the diet.  Instead, your body should obtain it from its own fat stores.  That means burning stored fat and using it as the source of body fuel.  Fat burning will start once your carbohydrate intake level is lower than 40g a day. 

Your body has 2 consumption fuel delivery substances:

1. Carbohydrates in the diet produce GLUCOSE.  Your body is in glucose burning mode when it uses carbohydrates in food as the source of fuel.

2. Your body’s stored fat produces FAT BURNERS.  Your body is in fat burning mode when it uses its own body fat as the source of fuel.

If your body is not in fat burning mode, it is in glucose burning mode and CANNOT burn stored FAT. 

BURN stored FAT:

By preventing your body from producing fuel from CARBOHYDRATES in your diet, it is forced to look for fuel elsewhere – in stored fat.  The only way to convince your body to rather use stored fat is to withhold its carbohydrate supply.  In the absence of carbohydrates, your body has no choice but to burn its own fat.  Your body then converts from a carbohydrate-burning engine into a FAT BURNING ENGINE. 

The Diet Plan:

A 4-stage LOW CARBOHYDRATE diet that will help you to overcome your disturbed carbohydrate metabolism and lose weight. Includes the following:-

1. "Eat yourself Slim" booklet:

• 14-day jump-start phase for fast weight loss that starts up fat burning.

• Continue-weight-loss phase – continue weight loss over the long haul.

• Almost-there phase – transition to your lifetime lifestyle.

• Lifetime stay-in-shape diet – keeps you slim and healthy.

Additionally, there is:

• A Pull-out booklet of complete menu's for the 14-day jump-start phase.

• An explanation on which Aloe Ferox product to take, and when.

• Hints for food preparation.

• A selection of recipes.

2. Accompanying Products:

7. absorption of nutrients

2. BodyBasics - a multivitamin and mineral preparation, contains:

• vitamin B6, vitamin B12, zinc, magnesium and folic acid - all vital for lowering homocysteine. Homocysteine is an amino acid found naturally in blood, but of which the concentrations can vary considerably. It becomes harmful when it increases to above the level of 6mmol/litre. 

Normally, the body converts homocysteine into harmless substances, but age, smoking, too much tea or coffee and a diet that lacks B vitamins, may reduce your ability to maintain low homocysteine levels in your blood. High homocysteine levels damage and thicken the walls of arteries, which increases the risk of abnormal blood clotting. This can lead to heart disease and strokes. In addition, homocysteine promotes the oxidation of cholesterol. Studies have shown that cholesterol only becomes dangerous once it has become oxidised.

No drug can lower your homocysteine level. The only way to do that, is to ensure your diet is high in Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, folic acid, magnesium and zinc.
