For years, I dieted so hard and consistently that my metabolism nearly shut down. It got so bad that when I tried to diet I could not even lose 10 pounds without a HUGE struggle. It has been absolutely unreal - and ironic - because I have always helped other people lose weight while I was fighting a losing battle myself.

I tried every supplement I could find, things I once used no longer worked, and as I put myself through STRENUOUS diets and workouts that would kill the average person, my basal body temperature stayed chronically low. I experienced coldness, constant fatigue, muscle weakness, and other signs of a slow thyroid along with anemia, because I was working too hard and not feeding my body correctly!!!

ONE week ago, I began taking the above-mentioned supplements along with walking or running 1-4 miles a day, and NOT killing myself as I usually do. It’s hard for me to restrain myself but I decided what I was doing was always a strenuous QUICK Fix I need to do this the slower healthier way …

I have not weighed myself yet and don’t want to become focused on the SCALE!!! I have lost some inches and cut a lot of fat tape measure wise ;o)

I also feel REALY Good!!! So Week One down onto the next … Wanna join me come on along it will not be easy but the end results will be worth it!!! Shoot me an e-mail or give me a call if you need a BOOST or just some help in getting started!

The Best and the Worst .... Losing FAT!!! I PROMISE YOU I KNOW!!!!!

The Worst Way to Get Rid of Fat

The problem is that while dieting may be the fastest way to burn fat, it is the worst way to keep it off.

Dieting without exercise as a route to weight loss is doomed to failure because muscle is always lost along with fat. When weight is regained, most of the poundage returns as fat-not muscle. This means that with continued dieting, your body composition inevitably becomes fattier and less lean. This can permanently slow down your metabolism because muscle burns 20 to 25 times more calories than fat. To maintain a pound of fat, your body burns two calories a day; to maintain a pound of muscle, your body burns 40 to 50 calories a day.

So if you lose 15 pounds on a get-slim-quick diet, and then regain it, you will actually burn 246 less calories than prior to the diet. This is why after an unsuccessful get-slim-quick diet, you not only regain more weight but you also have a harder time keeping it off!!!

After three or four "successful" diets, your body's basal metabolic rate can become significantly lowered-in some cases by up to 40 percent.

The Best Way to Burn Fat Permanently

The best way to permanently shed unwanted flab is through a combination of moderate exercise, weight training, and proper diet.

There are three reasons why exercising and weight training work to slenderize the body:

1. By adding muscle, you permanently raise your metabolic rate, since muscle burns 25 times more calories than fat. Muscle is active tissue that continually consumes energy - even while resting or sleeping. In contrast, fat is inert and requires little energy to maintain.

2. When you convert fat to muscle, you automatically slenderize yourself because muscle takes up less space than the same weight of fat.

3. Studies have shown that people with more muscles are more energetic. This encourages them to be more active and do more exercising. This creates a self-perpetuating cycle of fat-burning Yippeee!!!

Because muscle weighs more than fat, this means that you might not lose weight if you convert fat into muscle. In fact, many people gain weight after starting a weight-loss program even though they look leaner. This can be very disconcerting to people who are conditioned to associating leaner bodies with less weight. If they stick with their weight training, they will begin to lose weight eventually. However, this is not the real goal. A true slenderizing program is designed to make the body leaner, regardless of what you weigh afterwards.

PLEASE HEAR THAT??

A TRUE SLENDERIZING PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO MAKE THE BODY LEANER, REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU WEIGH AFTERWARDS!!!

Three Studies ... Interesting Information!!!

The effects of the inhalation method using essential oils on blood pressure and stress responses of clients with essential hypertension


[Article in Korean] Hwang JH. jhhang@kc.ac.kr

Abstract

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to indentify the effects of aromatherapy on blood pressure and stress responses of clients with essential hypertension.

METHOD: There were fifty-two subjects divided into an essential oil group, placebo group, and control group by random assignment. The application of aromatherapy was the inhalation method if blending oils with lavender, ylang-ylang and bergamot once daily for 4 weeks. To evaluate the effects of aromatherapy, blood pressure and pulse were measured two times a week and serum cortisol levels, catecholamine levels, subjective stress, and state anxiety were measured before and after treatment in the three groups. Data was analyzed by repeated measures of ANOVA, one-way ANOVA, and chi(2)-test using the SPSS 10.0 program.

RESULTS: the blood pressure, pulse, subjective stress, state anxiety, and serum cortisol levels among the three groups were significantly statistically different. The differences of catecholamine among the three groups were not significant statistically.

CONCLUSION: The results suggest that the inhalation method using essential oils can be considered an effective nursing intervention that reduces psychological stress responses and serum cortisol levels, as well as the blood pressure of clients with essential hypertension.

The effects of aromatherapy on stress and stress responses in adolescents

[Article in Korean] Seo JY. marseo@hanmail.net

Abstract

PURPOSE: This study was done to examine the effects of aromatherapy on stress and stress responses in adolescents.

METHODS: A two-group cross-over design was used for this study. The experimental treatment was aroma essential oil inhalation and the placebo treatment was carrier oil inhalation using a necklace. The

sample included 36 female high school students. Fisher’s exact test, t-test, and paired t-test using SPSS/WIN program were used to analyze the data.

RESULTS: Stress levels were significantly lower when the students received the aroma treatment compared to when they received the placebo treatment. The stress responses except salivary IgA levels were significantly lower when the students received the aroma treatment.

CONCLLUSION: Aroma inhalation could be a very effective stress management method for high school students. Therefore, it is recommended that this program be used in clinical practice as an effective nursing intervention for high school students.

Ambient odors of orange and lavender reduce anxiety and improve mood in a dental office.

Lehrner J, Marwinski G, Lehr S, Johren P, Deecke L.

University Clinic of Neurology, Medical University of Vienna, Austria. johann.lehrner@meduniwien.ac.at

Abstract

PURPOSE: The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of the essential oils of orange and lavender on anxiety, mood, alertness and calmness in dental patients.

METHOD: Two hundred patients between the ages of 18 and 77 years (half women, half men) were assigned to one of four independent groups. While waiting for dental procedures patients were either stimulated with ambient odor of orange or ambient odor of lavender. These conditions were compared to a music condition and a control condition (no odor, no music). Anxiety, mood, alertness and calmness were assessed while patients waited for dental treatment.

RESULTS: Statistical analyses revealed that compared to control condition both ambient odors of orange and lavender reduced anxiety and improved mood in patients waiting for dental treatment.

CONCLUSION: These findings support the previous opinion that odors are capable of altering emotional states and may indicate that the use of odors is helpful in reducing anxiety in dental patients

Weight Loss - The Natural, effective and Healthy Way!

Lose weight NOW! Aromatherapy and Scent ...

The sense of smell is the only one of the five senses directly linked to the limbic lobe of the brain, the emotional control center.

Anxiety, depression, fear, anger, and joy all emanate from this region. The limbic lobe (a group of brain structures that includes the hippocampus and amygdala) can directly activate the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is one of the most important parts of the brain, acting as our hormonal control center. It releases chemical messengers that can affect everything from sex drive to energy levels, and yes this includes weight loss. The production of growth hormones, sex hormones, thyroid hormones, and neurotransmitters such as serotonin, are all governed by the hypothalamus. This is why many refer to the hypothalamus as the
‘MASTER GLAND’.




Essential Oils Used to Reduce Appetite

Essential oils may be used to reduce appetite and produce significant reductions in weight because of their ability to stimulate the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus, a section of the brain that governs our feeling of satiety or fullness following meals.

In a large clinical study, Alan R Hirsch, M.D., F.A.C.P., (Journal of Annals of Clinical and Laboratory Science) used fragrances, including peppermint, to trigger significant weight losses in a large group of patients who had previously been unsuccessful in any type of weight-management program. During the course of the six-month study involving over 3,000 people, the average weight loss exceeded 30 pounds. According to Dr. Hirsch, some patients had to be dropped from the study early because no more weight could be lost without becoming underweight.

Dr. Hirsch' book Scentsational Weight Loss shows through years of research, Dr. Alan Hirsch has determined that what we smell can influence what and how much we eat. This revolutionary new book teaches them to literally sniff away excess pounds and break their old patterns of eating, thereby losing the weight they keep fighting against.

Equally as important to the above information is having an understanding of the role a healthy liver plays in metabolizing fat. The body stores environmental toxins in our fat cells to save them from being deposited in our organs and wreaking havoc. Toxins saturate the cells with a filmy layer and prevent them from taking in nutrition. This initiates a cycle where more fat cells are produced to store more toxins and you can see
where this leads.

Healthy Liver

Essential oils digest the filmy layer that saturates the cell wall and the essential oil’s high content of oxygen carries nutrients directly into the cell. Essential oils are also natural expectorants, meaning they are going to push all the toxins out of storage for the body to eliminate. It is vitally important to support healthy liver function with any weight loss program.
Young Living has the world-class selection of products enhanced with therapeutic grade essential oils to assist with healthy digestive, liver and colon function.


SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE
Volumes of research and clinical trials have validated the benefit of using certain scents to lose weight. Unlike many weight loss products on the market, Aromatherapy and the study of Scent is backed by over 25 years of data. Studies have consistently shown that scents alone can curb the appetite and promote weight loss.

In one study, Dr. Alan Hirsch of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation explored whether certain scents might help people lose weight. A leading expert in the science of smell, Dr. Hirsch had noticed that many of his patients who had lost their sense of smell began to gain weight. He hypothesized that smell and hunger must be related. To study his theory, Hirsch gave 3,193 overweight subjects scent inhalers and told them to inhale them throughout the day whenever they had cravings and before each meal. Participants were told not to alter their weight loss routine in any other way. After 6 months, study participants who frequently used the inhalers lost an average of 30 pounds, or about 5 pounds per month! Dr. Hirsch concluded that by simply sniffing certain scents, people could shed pounds, without any conscious change in diet or exercise. “It’s all a matter of fooling the brain”. Satisfaction, he maintains, comes not from a full stomach, but from the brain interpreting the scent as food eaten. The primary factor in determining how much weight the participants lost was the frequency with which they used the scent inhalers. Simply put, the more you use Scent, the better it works!
Similar research done at the Human Neuro-Sensory Laboratory in Washington, D.C. also supports those previous findings. Researchers gave 80 people one of two scent inhalation devices. The first contained a combination of specially selected scents while the other was a placebo. Subjects were asked to inhale the scents three times before and after each meal. At the end of the six-month trial, participants who used the scents lost an average of 19 pounds while the placebo group lost only an average of 4 pounds. This study proves in a randomized, double blind fashion, that the inhalation of specially formulated scents is effective in appetite control, reduction of food cravings, and weight loss.

In yet another study, researchers at Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia studied the effects of scent on research participants’ appetites. Participants who were exposed to the scent used in Aromatherapy consumed nearly 3000 fewer total calories from saturated fat, total fat, and sugar each week. That’s about 23% less calories based on an 1800 calorie/day diet for 7 days. Participants also rated their hunger level significantly lower during the scent inhalation. According to the researchers, “the primary implication of these results is that scent can be used as an effective adjunct to decrease appetite, decrease hunger cravings, and consume fewer calories, which may lead to weight reduction and greater overall heath”.

With a success rate of almost 100%, the use of specific scents to aid in weight loss has been proven in case studies over and over again. Specific Essential Oils simply makes you feel fuller sooner without hunger or deprivation. In fact, many people using Aromatherapy have reported that they didn’t even realize they were consuming so fewer calories until they weighed themselves at the end of the month and discovered how much weight they had lost. Others said they were pleasantly surprised to notice that they began leaving food on their plates because they just couldn’t eat as much. Still others noted that by simply using specific essential oils via a diffuser while at work, they no longer had the urge to visit the snack machine throughout the day. Essential Oils can be used in conjunction with any Personal Diffuser Pendants and Young Living Supplements. A diet and exercise routine to lose even more weight than simply diet alone is also key!
