Which route are you going to choose to go down in the New Year?

Make 2012 the year you finally stop your weight problem - permanently

Take the new 30 day detox at Results Weight Loss

We're all guilty of it. Making New Year's resolutions on the 1st January but then using every excuse possible to delay it one more week. Then before you know it, it's December again and you're no closer to your goal. If anything, you're further away from it.

But imagine how you would feel if you did actually make this year different. Imagine buying a smaller clothes size or being on the beach without covering up. Imagine having the confidence - and the energy - to do all of those things that you've always wanted to.

At Results Weight Loss, we've helped hundreds of men and women to achieve their weight loss goals so that they no longer have to just imagine these things. Using a combination of education, support and motivation, our members are able to drop at least one clothes size in just 30 days, and they couldn't be happier.

To help kick start your New Year's resolution in 2012 we are launching a brand new 30 day detox programme.

During the 30 days you will learn:

How to avoid and eliminate stress
How to have the best night's sleep EVER
How to stop worrying about your sleep patterns
Hormone balancing to get rid of stubborn fat - permanently
The best supplements to take and which ones to avoid
Nutritional plans and recipes to aid fat loss
How to cleanse your body to eliminate toxins
How to choose the right foods for your body type
You will also get daily instructions to follow to gain the best possible results and additional help beyond the 30 days.

All this, as well as unlimited access to the Results Weight Loss gym and community, for just £97 (Results Weight Loss members take part in the detox for free).

This is a 21st Century weight loss programme, which means NO treadmills, NO exercise bikes, NO crosstrainers. It involves NO cardio at all!

Now, I do apologise as I am going to have keep you in suspense because I am not going to open this up to the public just yet. Our members are doing this as well and to be honest they get first priority! If we have places left I will open this up to you but you will have to act quickly as this post is going out to 417 followers and at the same time an email will be sent to approx 5000 people on our mailing list.

So keep an eye over the next day or so when we release several more places

In the meantime, have a lovely New Year and I will hopefully catch up with you then.

Kind Regards

Joe Hanney

P.S. Make 2012 the year you finally stop your weight problem - permanently! Stay tuned...

How to enjoy a guilt-free holiday



Summer is upon us once again and it’s likely that many of you will be taking a holiday for a week or two. Whether it’s at home in the UK or overseas, the chances are that you’ll be relaxing and having a good time, which will inevitably mean loosening up on your regular diet and exercise routine. In turn this could lead to you worrying about weight gain.



However, providing you lead a healthy lifestyle throughout the rest of the year, one or two weeks of relaxing won’t hurt you at all. I always say that it’s not what you eat between Christmas and New Year that does the damage, but what you eat between New Year and Christmas. The same thing applies with holidays.

There are a few simple rules to bear in mind while you are on holiday:

1) Always eat breakfast as soon as you get up. Then try to eat every couple of hours to keep your energy up and your blood sugar stable.
2) Incorporate protein into every meal
3) Drink plenty of water – especially if you are somewhere hot.

You may be pleased to know that you might even find it easier to lose weight while you’re away, simply because you’re in a better state of mind. Away from the pressures of everyday life – work, home and your hectic schedule – you are more relaxed. Also, the sun does wonders for your mood which means that you’re less prone to eating out of boredom and because you have to bare all you are generally more conscious about what you’re eating.

When you’re at home in your usual routine you are more stressed which is a huge contributor to weight gain, you work long hours and the weather is normally dull, so it stands to reason that a holiday is good for you.

So eat, drink and have a great time on your holiday without feeling guilty if you over-indulge. You will come back feeling so much better for it and can return to your healthy lifestyle when you get home.

Have a great holiday wherever you choose to go!

Q&A - Sam, answers our members most pressing questions...

One of the most common questions I get asked by clients is why do you we recommend taking Fish oils, Multivitamins and Food Enzyme as their daily essential supplement and why do we recommend Nature's Sunshine products over any other brands?
Answer:

Reason #1: Insufficient nutrients in our food: We can't get all the essential nutrients we need from food alone. Of course, nature intended our food supply to provide us with the nutrients we need - and those nutrients would have been sufficient in our food of 100 years ago. But our food today is highly processed, genetically modified and prepared in a way that often destroys much of the nutritional content. According to Dr. Rakowski, "Our farm industry's fertilizers often contain only nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium which have lead our soils to be 73% less nutritious. So what happens is this malnutrition in the soil becomes malnutrition in the plants, becomes malnutrition in the animals and becomes malnutrition in humans." This then leads us on to our next point 'Processed and Refined Foods'.
Reason #2: Processed And Refined Foods: When you cook food improperly, such as by using a microwave, you risk reducing its nutritional value. Also, many foods that are used in fast-food restaurants are processed. For example, the processing that converts brown rice into white rice reduces the fibre content by about 75 percent and also reduces nutrients such as iron, niacin, thiamin, folacin, potassium and vitamins E and B6.
This is why it is very important to have the finest multivitamin (Super Supplemental Vits and Mins) which is made with nature ingredients and does not contain any artificial colours, sweeteners or additives like your typical high street multivitamin.

Reason #3: Poor digestion. If our digestive systems functioned optimally, we wouldn't need as many high-quality nutrients in supplement form - but that is not the case. It is estimated that one half of the UK population produces insufficient stomach acid, which diminishes the ability to absorb nutrients from food and can increase inflammation, stomach bacteria and numerous other health issues such as bloating, stomach pain and even depression. Incidentally, one of the reasons for low stomach acid is a deficiency in vitamin B. The product that helps with is called 'Food Enzyme'. This supplement helps to improve digestion and you take 3 per day with each meal and each capsule helps you digest a least 30g of protein, 30g carbs and 20g of fat.

Reason #4: We Live In A Polluted World: The US Environmental Protection Agency published a report in 2002 that said more than 7.1 billion pounds of 650 different chemicals had been released into the air or water - and 266 of these chemicals are associated with birth defects. For the past 28 years Dr. Mark Schauss, MBA, DB, has been studying medical research concerning the effects of toxins on our health. Says Schauss, "In a study by an environmental group on people not working in industry, such as teachers and journalists, the researchers found that the blood of the subjects contained nearly 100 chemicals that did not exist 40 years ago."

Many of these pollutants can be detoxified by natural supplements such as glycine, vitamin C, selenium which can be from Nature's Sunshine.

Reason #5: Inadequate Supply Of Good Fats In The Body: Our seas are one of the most polluted places on earth. As a result it is near on impossible to receive the benefits of omega-3's through food alone. Nature's Sunshine supply us with a product called 'Omega 3'. They extract their fish oils from fresh water fish in some of the few areas we still find healthy fish (salmon and mackerel). It is not cod liver oil as cod feed on the surface of our polluted seas and their oil is extracted from the liver, which is the most toxic place of the fish and taken from cod which is one of the most toxic fish in the sea. Cod Liver is a very poor source of fish oil, which is why it is cheap but will do very little for your health.

My opinion is that the initial goals regarding nutrition should be to strive to improve our diets and to use supplements to ensure we are receiving the essential nutrients. After that, then you can start looking at all the other performance and health benefits of targeted supplementation, such as improving workout recovery, countering the effects of environmental toxins, accelerating fat loss.

Now let us move on to the reason why we recommend Nature's Sunshine Products:

Quite simply, we do not recommend other products because Nature's Sunshine supplements are the best we have found on the market, and if we found any better products, we would recommend those to you instead. These are products that we have researched extensively and I have tried and tested supplement protocols for many years -Nature's Sunshine is without a shadow of a doubt the number product for several reasons of which I am going to reveal to you today:

Reason #1: The Largest Company In The Industry: Nature's Sunshine is the largest encapslator of herbs, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients in the world. They distribute to over 70 countries worldwide and have the largest products range of any supplement company.

Reason #2: Manufacturing Excellence: Nature's Sunshine have led the way and pioneered quality control in the supplement industry. With more than 300 different quality control test on each raw ingredient, Nature's Sunshine far surpass the standard adopted by competitors or any official regulatory requirements. All Nature's Sunshine products are manufactured to pharmaceutical standards, good manufacturing practices and good laboratory practices and finally Nature's Sunshine is a Food and Drug Administration approved manufacturer.

Reason #3: Finest Organic Ingredients: Nature's Sunshine use the very best natural organic ingredients from across the world. Every ingredient is tested for the presence of the contaminants, and if are found then the ingredient is rejected and will not be used. The ingredients are manufactured in their own state of the art, award winning manufacturing facility.

Reason #4: Not all Supplements Are Created Equal: In addition to using the finest ingredients, the correct plants and herbs need to be used, the herbs need to be harvested at the right time of the year and each herb contain a specific profile and quantity of active ingredients. These are standards practises adopted with each ingredients used in Nature's Sunshine.

Reason #5: Team Of Experts: The Nature's Sunshine manufacturing plant extend over 263,000 square feet, sitting on 6 acres, housing extensive research teams of dedicated experts including botanists, herbalist, biologist, nutritionists, pharmacist, pharmacologists and pharmacognosists.

I hope this information has given you a clear insight into why we need supplements and the reason behind why we only supply Nature's Sunshine products. Should you have any questions about the above please don't hesitate to email me sam@resultsweightloss.co.uk

‘Why is it harder to lose fat around the stomach area than anywhere else as I seem to lose it everywhere apart from my stomach?’

I got asked a very unique question by a client and that was ‘Why is it harder to lose fat around the stomach area than anywhere else as I seem to lose it everywhere apart from my stomach?’

Answer:
What do we actually mean when we talk about ‘burning’ bodyfat? We mean that the fat stored in the fat cell is removed and ‘burned’ as energy. Most tissue in the body can use fat for the fuel, but the main one for our purpose is muscle tissue.
The 3 major steps of fat metabolism are mobilisation, transport and oxidation? (Burning).

Mobilisation:
Body fat is essentially stored triglyceride with a small amount of water. Mobilising fat requires that we first break down the triglyceride into free fatty acids. The single step that limits how quickly or slowly fat is mobilised is the activity of an enzyme called Hormone Sensitive Lipase or HSL.

The only hormones to effect the HSL activity is Insulin and Catecholamines

Insulin is the main inactivator of HSL and it only takes small amounts to have a detrimental effect.

The main activators of HSL are Catecholamines. They have their own specific receptor called adrenoreceptors. There are two major adrenreceptors beta and alpha, which are found all over the body. The main receptors in the fat cells are alpha 2 receptors and beta 1-2 receptors both of which actively bind to catecholamines.

When catechomlines bind to beta receptors they increase fat break down. However when they bind to alpha receptors fat break down decreases.

It’s important to realise that insulin pretty much wins the battle over fat cell metabolism. Regardless of catecholamine levels if insulin is elevated, fat mobilisation with be impaired.

Transport:
Once we break down the stored body fat into free fatty acids which enter the blood stream. Since the free fatty acids can’t be burned in the blood stream, it has to be transported away from the fat cell; depending on the blood flow from to and from the cell.

Fat deposits also differ in term of blood flow. Visceral fat for example has an extremely high blood flow and is therefore mobilised fairly easily and generally is reduced the fastest (especially with exercise) Abdominal fat has less blood flow and is sensitive to the catecholamines, (not as many beta receptors as other areas of the body) and more sensitive to insulin. This makes it more stubborn than visceral fat.

So poor blood flow, high insulin sensitivity levels, lower beta receptor around stubborn fat is why it is difficult to get lean.

How do we improve this?

The real world message is that we want higher blood flow, low insulin levels and high beta catecholamine levels. These can easily be achieved by altering eating habits (lowering carbohydrates) which decrease insulin levels and exercise (which with the right program increase catecholamines and blood flow)

Oxidation
Eventually the FFA (free fatty acid) will run into a tissue (e.g. muscle) which can use it for fuel. To be used, the FFA has to be transported into the mitochondria by carntine. When glycogen is high, carntine activity is low and fat burning is low, and vice versa. By depleting muscle glycogen, we can increase carntine activity, allowing us to burn of the fat faster rate.

As you can see – we ramp up fat metabolism very effectively with a combination of lowered carbohydrates and intensive exercise.

I hope you found this interesting to read, and I hope that, I have gave you a more understanding of burning fat and a snippet of how we create programs here at Results Weight Loss.

How much water do we need and why do we need it?



Well... here is the answer in our health tip of the week

The body is made up of 60% water in adult males and about 55% in adult females.


Water is an important catalyst for weight loss because proper hydration is essential for fats burning, maintenance of muscle mass, and boosting overall metabolism. If you're dehydrated even to a slight degree, your cortisol levels will rise and your metabolic rate will drop.


Also if you dehydrate a muscle by as little as 3 percent, for example you will lose 10 percent of its strength and 8 percent of its speed. Overall a loss of 1-2 percent of water can decrease whole body entire performance by 10 percent.


Recent research says that you need to drink at least a litre of water per 50lbs of body weight to keep hydrated.


If you are currently not drinking enough, start to create habit so that you will eventually research your optimal levels of water.


I hope this has gave you a little insight to why water drinking water is very important to weight and health.
