What is the CAUSE of obesity? The malfunctioning of the Hypothalamus.
There are bacteria in the body and chemicals in our food that act as signaling mechanisms. These mechanisms cause our body to crave sugar which is why it is so difficult for people to stay on a diet! It is very well known that when we consume excessive amounts of sugar (about 150 POUNDS per year per person; more than double from 10 years ago!) we gain body fat. Sugar shuts down fat burning and causes our body to store fat.
Diets do not work because it is too difficult to stay on them for the long term
Exercise is great but when you consider that you burn about 250 calories for 30 minutes on a bike, and a pound of fat is 3500 calories, it is very difficult to lose weight with exercise alone.
Various stimulants on the market such as products that contain caffeine will increase your metabolism HOWEVER excessive amounts of caffeine causes adrenal exhaustion and heart disease so these are not long term solutions either.
The Hypothalamus is the “master regulator” in the body. The Hypothalamus controls our appetite, thirst and production of hormones. It is then not surprising to learn that when people are obese or overweight, researchers have found that the Hypothalamus gland is out of balance and not functioning normally. Some would describe this even as a diseased state.
What is exciting about this new patch product is that it is designed to stimulate specific points that bring the activity of the Hypothalamus back to normal! No other product on the market does this! And because it goes to work right away we have a product that is very easy to demonstrate (people just use it for 1 to 3 days and will experience the benefits).

This is my personal experience. This may help you a lot.I have struggled to lose weight for years, I guess I am what's known as a yo yo dieter. With so many different diet available, I didn't know where to turn until I visited www.losingweighteasily.com they have downloadable products to help you decide. I went with Weight Watchers in the end, the recipes of which there were over 100 made me decide, to me it was normal eating. I have now lost over 30 pounds, I am thrilled.you can try this its may be possible.

I spoke to my mother in law who is vegan and into natural healing and all this natural stuff. She ead my eyes (irodology). I learned lots from her. She told me the only way to natural weight loss and good health was to detox because my body had so many toxins. (mind you I cracked up) I thought she was a bit wee wacko. Still do sometimes. ha ha
Anyhow she sent me this box of natural cleansing herbs called Tiao He Cleanse. Its a 15 day cleanse and a book called "the Master Cleanse" I think it was..not too sure. Well I thought the lemon juice was nasty so I decided to pick my own juice and I picked that 2 day fast "Hollywood Diet" I felt like a retard buying it, I had tried everything.
So I decided to detox my body and fast for 14 days. It then turned into 18 days. At 18 days I was down to 170. I would take my little herb packesta do my juice everywhere with me. It was so easy because i dodnt have to count or keep track of anything and my skin started glowing. It worked instantly. Alot of it is water weight but it does clean out well and does help shrink the stomach. I started doing it off and on since Nov of last year. I would Juice only for 5 days, and eat light on the weekends but I also did cut out meat for a few months and took vitamins and i would eat raw veggies and fruits on weekends. Now I am down to 135 lbs. I never thought I could be a size 7 again. I still want to lose 15 more, but Im happy where I am. I slowly added food back in. The first few weeks I only did raw veggies. I carry 2 bottles of water with me everywhere I go. I work out but not always. I now can eat normal again but its so much asier to watch what i eat and not over eat. I do try and keep red meat out. I rarely eat chicken. I usually eat fish and egg whites. I eat nuts and fruits and veggies most of the time. Low on dairy. No sodas. I never imagined life without sweets and sodas and fast foods. I dont even crave them, at all.
Lately Ive been down so I have been a bit depressed due to marriage issues and I made some bad choices in my life. Anti-depres meds and bad stuff. But I plan to bounce right back on Monday and get back on track and work on those 16 lbs.
Its only hard the first 3 days. After that its cake because you lose like 10 years on your face. Your skin flows. The fat melts off.
Ive been yelled at by my family then they turn around and try it and love it. Many have told me Im crazy and that Its an eating disorder. But I love food. I will never give up food or meat, or chocolate. I just needed to clean up and shrink my stomach. It was kinda a jump start for me to a healthy new life.
Some can do it, a lot can't. It's in the mind. A lot of people have been negative to me about it yet after all my test results. Im healty. Im not anerexic, and I dont have an eating disorder. I guess everyones body is different. Just thought I'd share.
Good Luck
2 tablespoons genuine organic maple syrup, Grade B
1/10 teaspoon (a small pinch!) cayenne pepper
(10-14 oz) pure water
I only did the lemon juice diet a few times. I actually like the hollywood juice better because I didnt have to make it. I just bought the boughttle 2 for $30.00 at Wal-Greens and Id mix 4oz with 4oz of water 4 times a day and sip t all day and also lots nd lots of water all day. Plus I feltthe juice had a bit more carbs and calories my body needed to make it longer on the fast.
The Lemon juice made me weak but did work good as well.
The first few days are the hardest. The first day is bad, but trust me..if you can make it pastthe first day, you will be ok. Buy a scale. You see weight loss eveyday and it motivates you to keep going.
Best thing to do on first few days is take a few days off work or start on a weekend. Rent movies and just bum it in bed alot and sleep alot.
Also, dont try working out while you are fasting. It's way too draining and will make you hungry.
Every now and then Id have cravings but after seing all I lost I was excited to keep going. Its good to have an even in mind. Like Thanksgiving. You know you want to lose so much by then so you know to fast for so long but give your self a week or more before thanksgiving to start eating again and add raw veggies and broths first. You cant just quit and have a big feast because it will make you sick. I actually did that and almost had to go to a hospital I was in so much pain.
Feel free to ask anyother questions or I can give you my mother in laws email. She loves helping people. :) She's such a healer.
