Summer Vacations and HCG Diet

2011-06-11T20:49:00.000-07:00

So many are enjoying the beautiful Spring Weather and are planning out their Summer Vacations.

This is a time when so many are thinking how their diets are going to go straight out the window and it will be a summer full of gains and some fun.

Let me remind each of you! Summer Vacations are meant to be just that, FUN! Don't stress about eating too much of something or not enough of something else! By having fun you'll actually eat pretty well and get in some pretty good amounts of exercise! Not to mention, having a somewhat stress free summer is so much healthier for you than loads of stress.

However, for those needing a few extra tips for added support here are a couple of the main ones:

1. It's always best to error on the side of too many veggies! If you are enjoying summer bbq's really go to town on the veggie platters! :) One can never really get too enough live foods like fresh veggies provide.

2. If you are eating out - split an entrée with your spouse or friend. If their taste buds are too different, try ordering off the lunch menu or only eating 1/2 your entrée and saving the rest for tomorrows lunch.

3. Enjoy the great outdoors. Walking and getting your heart rate up are great especially in the warmer weather! Walking will only help you get more oxygen through your system which in turn your body will naturally be able to fix any known issues. Plus, by adding plenty of water to your diet this summer, your body will be much more able to remove toxins and others harmful things from your system.

4. Laughter and relaxation - definitely do a body good! Spending time with family and friends in a positive atmosphere will help you recoup after dieting (as many toxins and past emotions were released during your previous dieting experiences) A lot of people regress back to their pre dieting weight only because they couldn't laugh and get past all those past emotions and feelings that had been trapped in their excess fat.

**These are suggestions which have helped quite a few clients be able to enjoy their summers and not kill their dieting too bad.

Over all - HAVE FUN!

Buying the combination will save you an additional $10. That's basically another 10% off!

Obesity Research in Italy became world changing with Dr. Simeon's paper named "Pounds and Inches" others will know it better as "The HCG Diet".

2011-04-05T10:27:00.000-07:00

Obesity is a disorder that effects not only older but young people as well and in ever increasing numbers.

Americans are working to figure out why their kids are becoming so obese? Lifestyle? I would say 100% yes. Most people are looking for a way to blame someone else for their circumstances, when they actually just need to look in the mirror and say, "yes, it's time I take control of my life and make the changes that are necessary to live a healthy and long life".

I had to take this same test and stood in front of the mirror and asked by my life was the way it was and the mirror spoke back, "because you have made it exactly as it appears!"

It's true what they say, "what you focus on grows". Most our clients have for the past many years only focused on their weight and needing to lose weight. This is their downfall. Stop focusing on losing weight and start focusing on living healthy!

The HCG Diet is designed with that in mind. Dr. Simeon's is a genius when it comes simple fact. Help clients drop weight super fast in order for them to refocus on the important "healthy lifestyle".

With The HCG Diet you can lose 20-40 lbs in weeks! It's the fastest way to lose weight! This gives you the ability to stop focusing on your obesity and start focusing on results that will work forever!

http://www.pounds-and-inches.com

The HCG Diet is made up of 4 essential weight loss parts!

#1 - Gorging - you must gorge correctly so your body will release the fat reserves you have! You'll gorge 2-3 days with the high fat and high oil content foods. This way your body will know you have so much fat and oils coming into your body that it doesn't need to store them any longer.

**If done correctly you shouldn't experience any hunger during the HCG phase of the diet.

#2 - 23 days or 43 days of actual HCG Dieting. This is when you'll drop to a 500 calorie diet and eat much healthier foods while taking HCG via HCG Drops or HCG Injections.

There is a specific list of approved HCG diet foods you'll need to eat from. If you eat something not on the list you can jeopardize your weight loss success. You're probably asking, "Why would something healthy that's not on the approved foods list effect my weight loss?" Just understand, Dr. Simeon's has approved this list and we have only added a couple items from over 6 years experience and results.

#3 - 3 weeks of maintenance!  This starts immediately following the HCG phase. The safest way to increase your calorie intake is to increase the amount of foods from the approved list. You should be right about 800-1200 calories each day but choosing healthy foods. NO STARCH NO SUGARS.

This is necessary to help balance out your body's weight Once balanced and healthy you can continue to add items to your diet that will maintain a healthy weight for you.

#4 - The rest of your life!

With any dieting, if you don't change your lifestyle you'll revert right back to where you were if not worse. And yes, this happens to HCG dieters as well. Why? Because nothing beats a healthy diet.

The HCG Diet is just the fastest way to drop that excess weight so you can start to focus on eating the right things. This diet will train you want you should and shouldn't eat on a daily basis.

Some have asked, "Can I ever eat sweets again?" Yes, why not? But choose not to eat them everyday for breakfast lunch and dinner.

After you've lost the weight, take a moment to look at yourself in the mirror and change that internal image you have of yourself. Believe it or not you'll actually see yourself with your weight still on. This is going to be one of the hardest parts of this diet. Changing your internal image of who you are now. Once that image is changed you can now stop focusing on having to lose weight and instead focus on living healthy!!

Springtime weight loss tips my fifty cents

2011-03-24T10:24:00.000-07:00

Spring Fever and Spring Dieting go hand in hand. But why do so many start dieting yet never achieve their goals.

I believe it has to do with the speed of achieving that goal. Most diets take months and years to lose weight. This just won't work when you're trying to get into your swim suit now.

Springtime weight loss tip #1

Find an effective diet that works! http://www.pounds-and-inches.com - Completely FREE Info Packet sent directly to your email.

Springtime weight loss tip #2

Drink 1 full glass of water before each meal. Not only will this help fill you up a little faster but it will help keep you well hydrated. A dehydrated body cannot filter toxins as well. Which means the body will take those toxins and store them away in fat cells. Thus, creating more weight gain.

Carry a good water bottle with you at all times!

Springtime weight loss tip #3

BBQ - Summer Parties - Family Reunions: all are great places to find amazing FOOD! The secret isn't to avoid eating. Again its not about avoiding foods its about choosing the most healthy foods available.

Another great secret is: when filling up your plate, only eat 1/2 what you dish up. This not only will allow you to feel good about how many calories you're eating, but it will also be effective when used with Springtime weight loss tip #2.

Springtime weight loss tip #4

Enjoy the great outdoors! Get out and stay out for at least 2 hours each day. Not only will being outdoors create a need to exercise but its also a great way to get all natural Vitamin D which your body creates via sunlight.

Fresh oxygen, mixed with natural Vitamin D and a little exercise will do wonders to getting you back to your best looking body possible.

Enjoy Spring and Summer! Don't stress about your need to weight loss. Follow these 4 easy steps and you'll enjoy the best feeling Spring Summer of your life!

What is HCG Diet? Liquid Diet or 500 calorie diet?

2010-12-22T13:56:00.000-08:00

What is HCG Diet? What is HCG Drops? What is HCG Shots? Is 500 calorie diet safe? Is HCG Diet legal?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) – Dec 22, 2010 –

What is hCG?

hCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, a hormone naturally produced by the placenta in pregnant women and almost completely controls the metabolic function through the hypothalamus throughout the pregnancy.

Contrary to popular belief however, the hCG used in the Hcg diet protocols is a variation of the hCG form used for fertility treatments, and in a much smaller dose. All hCG used for medical purposes is natural, but created in laboratories from sterile cells.

It is NOT extracted from women or animal urine- a common misconception.

How much weight will I lose with the hCG diet?

Most hCG dieters report a loss of 1 to 2 lbs a day. At the very least, .5 pound a day, and at the most, 3 + lbs a day. 1 lb is generally lost in the first day.

Factors that guarantee faster weight loss include increasing vegetable intake and mixing salad with each meal. Fiber intake is extremely important, as is water intake.

Getting Started - download the FREE Pounds & Inches eBook which includes HCG Recipes and secrets to the diet.

http://www.pounds-and-inches.com

Is it healthy to lose 1 to 2 pounds a day with hCG shots?

hCG weight loss studies have shown that weight lost following the Simeons protocol comes directly from adipose fat tissue rather than lean muscle. In doing so, the weight lost comes directly from unhealthy fat and does not strip the body of much needed muscle, vitamins or minerals essential to maintain good health, while at the same time, releasing excessive amounts of fat-stored nutrients into the blood stream to be absorbed by the body.

For this reason, hCG dieters report a feeling and appearance of great health and marvel at the loss of negative health risks they had as an overweight individual.

Why the 500 calorie diet - VLCD (very low calorie diet )?

hCG causes your hypothalamus to mobilize the fat out of the fat storage locations so that it’s available for use. While you are only consuming 500 calories, your hypothalamus is continually releasing the fat stored in your body.

Because of this, your body is actually operating on thousands of calories a day. The result is your body using thousands of calories of fat from your body each day, the reason hCG dieters lose 1 to 2 lbs of fat or more, per day.

Is the use of hCG injections for weight loss legal?

A medical doctor may prefer not to use hCG for weight loss due to the FDA's lack of recommendation for weight loss, however he is legally able to do so in the US.

It is advised that you check your country's laws to be certain, however, for most countries, importing hCG diet shots or having pre-filled hCG syringes shipped via mail are considered safe and perfectly legal. If importing hCG from abroad, be sure to check your local laws and follow whatever restrictions are called for.

Is it legal to order hCG from overseas pharmacies?

While it is recommended to check for amendments to the importation guidelines, as of January 2007, it is still legal to import hCG for personal use.

An individual supply of no more than 3 months is generally acceptable for meeting the "personal use" standard. Resale of imported pharmaceuticals is a federal offense.

Where to buy HCG, HCG Injections, HCG Shots

http://www.pounds-and-inches.com

Will I be hungry on 500 calories a day?

It is common for mild hunger during the first few days, however this will pass and by the 2nd week, you will find even very tiny servings, to be completely satisfying. This is partly due to your hypothalamus adjusting your metabolic rate, but largely due to the amount of calories circulating in your system from the fat being released.

It is common that hCG dieters feel as though they are stuffing themselves in order to reach that 500 calorie limit!

For the complete HCG Diet including HCG Recipes download our FREE Pounds & Inches eBook to help melt off those inches and pounds.

HCG Drops vs HCG Injections - 2011 Weight loss New Year's Resolution

2010-12-02T17:14:00.000-08:00

So which is better HCG Drops or HCG Injections? Is one more effective than the other? Which is the cheapest HCG to buy and which is the fastest HCG to ship?

PRLog (Press Release) Dec 02, 2010 – The HCG Diet is proving to be one of the fastest ways to lose excess weight. The results are speaking for themselves. With average weight loss of 1 lb per day, most are achieving their weight loss goals within a few short months.

So figure up your weight loss goals. Let's say you need to lose 40 lbs. If you can imagine for a minute you can be at your goal weight within 40 short days, that's just over a month away!

When choosing to do the HCG Diet there is 2 basic choices you can choose from. HCG Drops or HCG Injections. Plus, you can choose between 2 length of times 23 days or 43 days.

HCG Injections - daily injections of HCG

HCG Injections are purchased from a clinic (usually $400-$1200 per 43 days) with a Dr. prescription or you can purchase HCG directly through a canadian pharmacy which usually takes 2-4 weeks to arrive. HCG comes in powder form and you'll need to mix with Bacteriostatic Water for injection.

Most pharmacy's sell HCG Diet Mixing Kits as well. Purchase according to the length of time you'll be on the diet. (Each mixing kit does come with video assistance to mix your HCG)

The most reliable and safest of the International Pharmacies is:
http://www.pharmacyescrow.com/s33559-s-HCG-PREGNYL-10012 ...

**Purchase HCG Pregnyl 5000 IU (Hucog High Purity)

Pros:

- You only have to administer HCG once per day.
- The fastest and most effective way to get HCG into the system
- Some say this is the most effective way to do the HCG Diet.

Cons:

- HCG is a controlled drug, which means it requires a prescription (only available through a pharmacy)
- 2-4 weeks arrival from the time its ordered.
- You have to inject daily. (only bad if you fear needles)

HCG Drops

Homeopathic HCG Drops are a sublingual form of HCG. Most companies online charge $40/ounce which is slightly cheaper than purchasing HCG Injections. Think HCG Drops is the cheapest yet most effective company we've found at $20/ounce.

http://www.thinkhcgdrops.com - use promo code "promo10" to save 10%

Plus, their drops don't have fillers like most which carry 16% alcohol. Think HCG Drops.com are more potent and more effective than alcohol Drops. These drops contain NO ALCOHOL.

Pros:
- HCG Drops come pre-mixed.
- NO Injections
- NO Prescription Needed
- Made in the USA
- usually arrives within 2-4 business days.

Cons:
- Some say HCG Drops aren't as effective as injections.
- Multiple doses necessary each day (15 drops 2 times per day)
- Slower, less effective way to get HCG into the system

The Choice is yours

Both options are available and both options are highly effective to assist you in losing weight. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!

We offer FREE HCG Consultations to help you make the right decision for YOU. And we will be there Before / During / After your diet to make sure its a success!

Holiday Season - The HCG Diet

2010-11-29T18:38:00.000-08:00

The Holidays are upon us. For most, its the best time for great food and good friends.

For HCG Dieters it could be considered one of the hardest times of years! But it doesn't have to be.

Being on a Very Low Calorie Diet VLCD of 500 calories is a little hard when you have a 11 course Thanksgiving Meal in front of you included with all your favorites. :)

The easiest way to make the Holidays a Success (if you're currently on the HCG Diet) is to think before eating. Should you add butter to that, or can you get away with just putting a little jam instead? Error on the side of healthy.

Also, if you overeat it would be best to overeat on proteins instead of starches or sugars. Over eat that Thanksgiving Turkey instead of the homemade rolls or even salad.

Remember, if you do cheat it will only effect you for 3 days of dieting. But isn't that Holiday Meal so worth it? :)

With the Holidays just around the corner many are getting anxiety just thinking about all the weight they'll gain from those wonderful Holiday meals. Don't stress Think HCG Drops.com is here to help you lose 20-40 lbs just in time for the Holidays

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) – Oct 09, 2010 – The Holiday Season is hard for the majority of individuals.

In America, we kick off the Holiday Season with Halloween. Halloween includes bags and bags of candy. Anything from Snickers, Butterfingers, Crunch Bars and so many more are just a few of my favorites.

Plus, if you have kids like myself you can't honestly let them eat all their candy it would make them sick. So being a good mother you assist them in eating their candy.

Next we get together to give Thanks for the opportunity we have to live in the USA. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite Holidays as its a chance to get all the family together and EAT. I'm sure Dining Tables are never filled with food, any other time of the year, like they are on Thanksgiving! We eat loads of breads, meats, stuffing, gravy, jams, ice cream, pies, and so many more items.

Within weeks we are celebrating Christmas. Again, the amount of food we eat just blows me away. Left overs for weeks on end.

So, within just 2 months time we have 3 major holidays where we are stuffing our faces with terrible amounts of excellent food.

The point isn't to stop eating and enjoying these holidays with family. And no I don't feel we should change our planned meals so we are eating spinach salad and turkey burgers with low fat ice cream for dessert.

The Holidays are to be enjoyed. We should enjoy spending time with family.

We should look good while enjoying this time!

So if you start a 23 or a 43 day round of the HCG Diet within the next couple weeks you'll be able to quickly lose 20-40 lbs just in time for Thanksgiving. Blowing your family away at how much weight you've lost and how good you look!

FOREWORD - introduction by Dr. Simeons

This book discusses a new interpretation of the nature of obesity, and while it does
not advocate yet another fancy slimming diet it does describe a method of
treatment which has grown out of theoretical considerations based on clinical
observation.

What I have to say is, in essence, the views distilled out of forty years of grappling
with the fundamental problems of obesity, its causes, its symptoms, and its very
nature. In these many years of specialized work, thousands of cases have passed
through my hands and were carefully studied. Every new theory, every new
method, every promising lead was considered, experimentally screened and
critically evaluated as soon as it became known. But invariably the results were
disappointing and lacking in uniformity.

I felt that we were merely nibbling at the fringe of a great problem, as, indeed, do
most serious students of overweight. We have grown pretty sure that the tendency
to accumulate abnormal fat is a very definite metabolic disorder, much as is, for
instance, diabetes. Yet the localization and the nature of this disorder remained a
mystery. Every new approach seemed to lead into a blind alley, and though
patients were told that they are fat because they eat too much, we believed that
this is neither the whole truth nor the last word in the matter.

Refusing to be side-tracked by an all too facile interpretation of obesity, I have
always held that overeating is the result of the disorder, not its cause, and that we
can make little headway until we can build for ourselves some sort of theoretical
structure with which to explain the condition. Whether such a structure represents
the truth is not important at this moment. What it must do is to give us an
intellectually satisfying interpretation of what is happening in the obese body. It
must also be able to withstand the onslaught of all hitherto known clinical facts and
furnish a hard background against which the results of treatment can be accurately
assessed.

To me this requirement seems basic, and it has always been the center of my
interest. In dealing with obese patients it became a habit to register and order
every clinical experience as if it were an odd looking piece of a jig-saw puzzle. And
then, as in a jig saw puzzle, little clusters of fragments began to form, though they
seemed to fit in nowhere. As the years passed these clusters grew bigger and
started to amalgamate until, about sixteen years ago, a complete picture became
dimly discernible. This picture was, and still is, dotted with gaps for which I cannot
find the pieces, but I do now feel that a theoretical structure is visible as a whole.
With mounting experience, more and more facts seemed to fit snugly into the new
framework, and then, when a treatment based on such speculations showed
consistently satisfactory results, I was sure that some practical advance had been
made, regardless of whether the theoretical interpretation of these results is correct
or not.

The clinical results of the new treatment have been published in scientific journal
and these reports have been generally well received by the profession, but the very
nature of a scientific article does not permit the full presentation of new theoretical
concepts nor is there room to discuss the finer points of technique and the reasons
for observing them. During the 16 years that have elapsed since I first published
my findings, I have had many hundreds of inquiries from research institutes,
doctors and patients. Hitherto I could only refer those interested to my scientific
papers, though I realized that these did not contain sufficient information to enable
doctors to conduct the new treatment satisfactorily. Those who tried were obliged
to gain their own experience through the many trials and errors which I have long
since overcome.

Doctors from all over the world have come to Italy to study the method, first hand
in my clinic in the Salvator Mutidi International Hospital in Rome. For some of them
the time they could spare has been too short to get a full grasp of the technique,
and in any case the number of those whom I have been able to meet personally is
small compared with the many requests for further detailed information which keep
coming in. I have tried to keep up with these demands by correspondence, but the
volume of this work has become unmanageable and that is one excuse for writing
this book.

In dealing with a disorder in which the patient must take an active part in the
treatment, it is, I believe, essential that he or she have an understanding of what is
being done and why. Only then can there be intelligent cooperation between
physician and patient. In order to avoid writing two books, one for the physician
and another for the patient – a prospect which would probably have resulted in no
book at all - I have tried to meet the requirements of both in a single book. This is
a rather difficult enterprise in which I may not have succeeded. The expert will
grumble about long-windedness while the layreader may occasionally have to look
up an unfamiliar word in the glossary provided for him.

To make the text more readable I shall be unashamedly authoritative and avoid all
the hedging and tentativeness with which it is customarily to express new scientific
concepts grown out of clinical experience and not as yet confirmed by clear-cut
laboratory experiments. Thus, when I make what reads like a factual statement,
the professional reader may have to translate into: clinical experience seems to
suggest that such and such an observation might be tentatively explained by such
and such a working hypothesis, requiring a vast amount of further research before
the hypothesis can be considered a valid theory. If we can from the outset establish
this as a mutually accepted convention, I hope to avoid being accused of
speculative exuberance.

The HCG Diet - Our original story and direction!

2010-08-11T10:31:00.000-07:00

We've done similar posts in the explaining the difference between doing The HCG Diet via Injections or Sublingual Drops.

This blog isn't going to explain how or what to do on each diet, but we'll explain from a customer service point of view some of the pros and cons to each.

Either way you do the HCG Diet you're getting HCG into the system. One way is faster at doing that than another.

First we all started off with HCG Injections to lose weight almost 8 years ago. Quite a few people actually did HCG back in 1980's but with the lack of information it was hard to get all the info you needed to make the diet a success.

We personally started the HCG Diet Consultation business almost 6 years ago when we went to a local weight loss clinic where they charged us $1200 for a 43 day phase of the diet. We thought it was completely worth it because we were able to lose over 45 lbs.

However, we asked what type of discounts we would be given if we needed to come back over and over. They mentioned there was no volume discounts and that we would have to pay $1200 each time we wanted to lose weight.

Well, we could barely afford the $1200 initially so of course we didn't have another $1200 for another round.

Which made us think of how we could provide The HCG Diet Info FREE and direct people to valid sources where they could purchase their HCG and their Injections. So we went to work researching and looking for pharmacies where they would be open to sell HCG to individuals who were looking to lose excess weight.

We found a great online pharmacy who have an exceptional customer service department and have taken great care of our customers when ordering their HCG and their HCG mixing kits.

http://www.pharmacyescrow.com/s33559-s-HCG-PREGNYL-100129-s.aspx

We also started receiving a lot of emails from customers who had quite a few questions and were confused about how to do the diet, mixing instructions, hcg diet recipes and so many more questions. So we opened our customer service department and have offered FREE HCG Diet Consultations for over 5 years now. We've answered well over 100,000 emails.

We also found quite a few people were not interested in giving themselves injections. Trust me injections are not for me either. So we found a company who market and sell HCG Drops without alcohol. 95% of all the other companies sell alcohol based HCG Drops which we've found to be less effective.

http://www.thinkhcgdrops.com

It's amazing how many HCG companies have popped up in just the last 3 years. So many are trying to take advantage of an effective diet and are giving it such a bad name by providing such terrible less effective products.

We've been around for over 6 years and are the original FREE HCG Diet Info provider we are out to assist individuals do the HCG Diet for as cheap as possible from the most trusted sources online.

Using our FREE HCG Diet Info you can save $100-$1200 on each of your rounds of HCG.

Do the HCG Diet from Home and watch the weight just melt away. Plus, if you find you have questions before the HCG Diet, during the HCG Diet or after the HCG Diet please don't hesitate to ask! (Once you've downloaded our FREE HCG eBook - you'll be given our email address)

Back to School - the HCG Diet using HCG Drops or Injections

2010-07-23T08:56:00.000-07:00

You've taken all summer off and now are looking for a quick way to drop that excess weight before school starts? Look great moms for your childs first day back.

Dr. Simeon's research produced the fastest way to lose weight, naturally and safely. Imagine being able to lose 1-2 lbs per day. Sounds crazy, but definitely possible. On average, one is able to lose 20-40 lbs in weeks.

THE HCG DIET has been around since the 1950's when Dr. Simeon's first published his finding. And since then millions have experienced the fastest diet available.

The HCG Diet is as simple as 1 - 2 - 3.

Phase 1 - involves a cleanse of your choice. Usually a Candida cleanse will assist in removing toxins and candida overgrowth in the system.

Phase 2 - involves HCG and a VLCD (Very Low Calorie Diet) - a very specific list of foods are allowed which will give your body the necessary nutrients while the HCG targets your fat reserves and starts to melt them away.

Phase 3 - is the maintenance phase. Once off HCG your body will start to balance itself out. This will be the phase where proper diet will give you the lasting effects desired. (or you have the choice of starting another 1 - 2- 3 process and losing even more weight)

Please visit us for your FREE HCG Diet Info After you've downloaded the complete HCG Diet eBook - free. Any questions you have before/during/after the diet can be answered through our unlimited email consultation services - as free.

Our goal is to provide you all the information you need to make a wise decision on whether this diet is for you or not. Why go anywhere else and pay $100-$400 for the same information?

Essential Oils for Weight Loss Maintenance

2010-07-06T18:07:00.000-07:00

Quite a few clients have had issues with maintaining their weight after The HCG Diet. This is usually due to the fact that we are presented with extremely large portion sizes. We were taught when young to clean our plate (but that didn't mean the entire plate from Olive Garden or something) Those plates are almost 2 times the size of our normal house plates and even those are much larger than when we were all kids.

After quite a few clients were willing to test DoTerra's new Slim and Sassy Essential Oil Blend to help promote weight loss, we found it was a great way to take a daily solution which helped curb appetite which helped us all not consume as much after the HCG Diet.

http://www.mydoterra.com/weightloss

Let us know how you enjoy it during the maintenance phase of the diet.

*Not to be used during The HCG Diet as your body will absorb these oils and burn them off first before it goes after your fat reserves. These high quality oils can be used after the diet safely without causing weight gain as they are in their pure form and will help promote healthy system function.

Slim & Sassy Metabolic Blend dōTERRA®'s Slim & Sassy Metabolic Blend is a proprietary formula of 100% pure CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils designed to help manage appetite between meals. Slim & Sassy includes a blend of grapefruit, lemon, peppermint, ginger, and cinnamon essential oils. Just add 8 drops to 16 oz. of water (regular size bottle of water) and drink between your healthy meals throughout the day to help manage hunger, calm your stomach, and lift your mood.

HCG Drops or HCG Injections

2010-05-24T13:33:00.000-07:00

Everyone who has seen someone lose weight using The HCG Diet can't believe their eyes. But its true, results speak for themselves.

The HCG Diet is known to help you lose on average 1 lb per day. So if you needed to lose 40 lbs, imagine your goal weight is only 40 days away!

When choosing to do the HCG Diet there is 2 basic choices one can choose from.

HCG Injections

This is HCG purchased from a clinic (usually $400-$1200 per 43 days) or you can purchase HCG directly through a canadian pharmacy which usually takes 2-4 weeks to arrive. HCG comes in powder form which you'll need to mix for injection.

Most pharmacy's sell HCG Diet Mixing Kits as well.

The most reliable and safest of the International Pharmacies is:
http://www.pharmacyescrow.com/s33559-s-HCG-PREGNYL-10012 ...

Pros:

- You only have to administer HCG once per day.
- The fastest way to get HCG into the system
- Some say this is the most effective way to do the HCG Diet.

Cons:

- HCG is a controlled drug, which means it requires a prescription.
- 2-4 weeks arrival from the time its ordered.
- You have to injection daily.

HCG Drops

Homeopathic HCG Drops are a sublingual form of HCG. Most companies online charge $40/ounce which is slightly cheaper than purchasing HCG Injections.

http://www.thinkhcgdrops.com

Think HCG Drops.com has their drops at $20/ounce the cheapest available. Plus, their drops don't have fillers like most which carry 16% alcohol. Think HCG Drops.com are more potent and more effective than alcohol Drops. These drops contain NO ALCOHOL.

Pros:

FAQ's for The HCG Diet!!

2010-02-27T07:19:00.000-08:00

As many of you know we offer FREE Consultations w/ the download of our eBoook from http://www.pounds-and-inches.com

Some of the most frequently asked questions (FAQ's) are these:

Why am I so hungry?

Injection: being hungry w/ injections hardly ever happens but when it does it's usually due to not drinking enough water throughout the day or try eating every other hour starting at 12 noon.

Drops: check your drops. If they contain alcohol its a pretty good chance its b/c once alcohol hits your system it turns into sugar which burns through real fast and doesn't give you the benefits of drops.

Plus, with drops most people are only holding them under their tongue for 15-30 seconds. You'll actually need to hold the drops under your tongue for up to 15 mins. 5 mins being great if you're use to 30 seconds. This will allow the HCG to actually absorb into your system and actually do something to curb your hunger.

What can I actually eat while on this diet?

When you download our eBook you'll find on page 9 all the details of Phase 2 foods that are allowed. http://www.pounds-and-inches.com

Where can I order HCG w/out a prescription:

Injection: In our eBook on page 3 it will show you which pharmacy we've been working w/ for over 4 years and they continue to be the most reliable pharmacy out there.

Drops: http://www.thinkhcgdrops.com - Already mixed, No alcohol, highly effective HCG Drops.

I have plateaued and am not losing weight any more, what can I do?

On page 14 of our eBook you'll find a list of Plateau Breakers! This is important to check and do if you aren't losing as fast as you thought you would or you haven't lost weight in a couple days.

The Apple Day is highly effective and usually jump starts weight loss the very next day.

Don't let plateau's drag out. It's really important you are losing most everyday of this diet.

When should I stop taking HCG?

There are a couple times when you should stop taking HCG while dieting.

- During a 43 Day phase of the diet you should be skipping HCG every 7th day. This will help prevent immunity. (yes, we recommend skipping for both injections and drops)

- When your period starts: stop the HCG but continue the 500 calorie diet.

Is there any recipes we can use to mix things up a little?

We highly recommend "100 Recipes to keep you on Phase II of HCG"

https://www.createspace.com/3409507 - Coupon Code "PV5VCKB9" for 14% OFF

What are the differences between Injection and HCG Drops (sublingual)?

Injection: Is the most effective way to get HCG into the system. It's one injection daily w/ a small insulin needle. (We have found the insulin needles are safer and just as effective as the intramuscular ones.)

HCG Drops: Sublingual form of HCG which you drop under your tongue. Not as effective but if you can't stand the shots/injections than this will be an easy choice for you. To be as effective as Injections you'll need to hold the drops under your tongue for up to 30 mins. However, that's unrealistic for most. We recommend 15mins but even 5 mins is better than nothing to allow the HCG to absorb into your system.

Can I buy a hard copy of your eBook?

Yes, we sell it on Amazon.com: http://astore.amazon.com/4seaboo-20 - It's the exact same book just in printed form.

My skin is so super dry, what type of lotion or creams can I use?

We recommend you stay clear of lotions and creams. These will absorb into your skin and your body will burn those oils off first before it goes after your fat reserves. Dry skin is a major issue for dieters of all ages. We highly recommend SilverSoft Skin Care. http://www.silversoftforskin.com - no harmful oils and perfect at ridding you of your dry skin.

I am a diabetic can I do this diet?

You know your body better than anyone. There are plenty of Diabetics who are on this diet, however, b/c of such a low calorie diet it is very necessary you listen to your body and eat when you need to. Most of our Diabetic clients eat an item of protein in the mornings to help w/ blood sugars. If you need to eat something please do so from the list of available food items. If you need to increase to eating a little more than the normal dieter don't feel bad you'll still lose weight.

We've had some tremendous experiences of some diabetics being able to come off their medications, after their doctor told them they can, because they were able to lose enough weight where diabetes wasn't an issue any more.

How old can you be to diet?

This is another "listen to your body" questions. We don't recommend any one under 18 doing this diet, just b/c your body is still growing and developing we wouldn't want to interfere w/ anything that goes on there.

55+ am I too old to diet? Actually quite a few dieters are over 55 and are experiencing excellent results.

*****

These are just a few of the questions we get everyday from dieters. This post isn't to discourage questions but to get the information out there to help even more people. I understand there are a lot of people who won't or don't ask, so this post is for you!

Remember, download our eBook http://www.pounds-and-inches.com and you'll be able to ask us any questions you have before/during/after The HCG Diet.

Plus, when you download our eBook your name/email will be entered into our Monthly $100 Visa Gift Card Drawing.

HCG Drops

2010-02-18T10:21:00.000-08:00

The most reliable HCG company

has just released their own version of HCG Drops.

http://www.thinkhcgdrops.com

Why HCG? Does it really work?

The human body is made up of a few types of different fat. The first fat is called, structural fat, which cushions and protects

the organs in the body. The body also has a fat called, normal fat, which is the padding on our body such as the padding

on the feet and hands. Then the body has a fat called, abnormal fat, which is the excess fat on our bodies such as our love

handles, spare tires, bellies, backs, and saddlebags.

When the hypothalamus is stimulated the body is able to release abnormal fat, which allows the body to rid itself of massive

amounts of this type of fat very quickly. Dr. Simeons HCG diet protocol outlines a very low calorie diet (VLCD), in

combination with HCG, which helps to stimulate the hypothalamus. When a person successfully completes the HCG

protocol diet plan the hypothalamus is able to reset and function properly.

Dr. Simeons through his research concluded that an abnormal operating hypothalamus is a leading cause of obesity. When

the hypothalamus is not operating correctly, it causes the body to have intense food cravings, constant hunger, low

metabolism, and a surplus storage of abnormal fat.

New Year's Resolution

2009-12-31T09:00:00.000-08:00

New Year's Resolutions have been around for decades! I'm sure you've already talked with your friends and family about some of the New Year's Resolutions you've all made.

Some basics that have been included for years:

- Make more money

- Lose weight

- Get Healthy

- Get a new job

- Find romance

- Love to read more

- and many others.

But have you ever made these lofty goals only to disappoint yourself by not achieving them?

One of the surest ways to reach a set goal is to do so quickly.

Set smaller simpler goals you can achieve 1 month at a time.

Weight Loss

Example: If your goal was to lose 150 lbs in 2010. Don't set that goal its too big.

However, if you set a goal to lose 12.5 lbs in January, now that's a little more feasible.

Try joining a gym - but instead of going every single day like most try only going 1 time per week. And then increasing the number of visits each month, until its working in your schedule to go 5 times per week. Too many people join a gym in January and try to bit off too much at once and wake up super early and go 5 times per week sometime 7 times. But honestly, how long can they keep that up. Hence, this is why gym are super packed in January and slowly taper off until March there is hardly anyone in the gym working out.

These are resolutions for the New Year but should be considered New Year's Monthly Resolutions!

The HCG Diet is your perfect solution for weight loss! Lose 20-40 lbs in weeks! Just get that excess weight off once and for all! You can do HCG Injections or HCG Sublingual Drops (under your tongue drops)

http://www.pounds-and-inches.com

Make More Money

Another great and highly popular resolution is "make more money" but what amount of money are you looking for? $10 or $10,000? Break up the Resolution into months! Ten dollars would be too easy to achieve!

However, the $10,000 added to your bank account by the end of the year is possible if broken down! Try adding an extra $833 to your bank account each month! That's a good part time job!

Or start a small business (photography, consulting, instructor, author, mlm, etc) to make the extra $833. I'm hoping you see the point!

The smaller monthly goals can break your large goal down to bit size amounts where you can easily digest it. If you were to eat the whole elephant it could be possible, but you'll have better success and no heart burn if you take smaller bits!

One of the fastest ways to start your own business is to jump into an already proven system

http://fastmoney.mandurarep.com

Find Romance

Find romance is kind of a tough goal because you are involving another human being who also have their own goals and life direction. It can still be achieved monthly.

For example, what are you doing to make yourself more available to be seen? For some they say, "I want to meet someone who will care for me and treat me like a princess!" However, they work 70 hours each week and eat, sleep and work. Nothing in that schedule has allowed for romance. Open your schedule a little. If you are sleeping on a twin mattress where is your significant other going to sleep? Time to upgrade to a Full, Queen or King mattress. Do you have your clothes spread out through the whole closet? Make room for romance and watch how dating will find you!

As you set these smaller monthly goals you'll notice alot more excitement in achieving the larger goals because you are actually taking steps to get there. It's a simple concept of the Turtle and the Hare. The person who is Steady and Consistent will win the race!

The Secret is a great video to teach you exactly how to attract love into your life! Quickly and usually in a matter of 1 months time!

Holidays 2010

One of my personal favorites has been buying for Christmas throughout the whole year! What we do as a family is set aside $100 each month for Christmas. If you're like me I'll send it if I see it. So we buy an Amazon.com $100 Gift Card each month. It saves till Dec 1st when we start shopping online for Christmas Presents.

By Dec 1st, we'll have saved $1100 which is great! If we didn't do that how many can come up with $1100 straight out of their pocket and not miss it. But spending $100 monthly or more/less each month really isn't that big of a deal. You can do the same with Birthday's, Anniversary's and any other celebration.

Higher Education

This can be a tricky one especially if you are working a full-time job and have a family. Going back to school could really be stressful. So maybe your goal is to go back and get your Master's Degree? Or Doctorate? Most Colleges and Universities allow for online courses. If you could do 1 online course per semester or per month you are on your way to a higher education. Check with your employer because most can and will reimburse for continuing education.

If you are self employed in a trade or specialized business. You may need to continue your education as well. If you are looking to double the size of your business but continue to do the same things, isn't that the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results? Try taking a couple trade classes or going to specific seminars of new and upcoming subjects that could impact your business.

Personal Developement

Read a book! EVERYONE should be reading one book per month. Whatever it is you should read.

What's the difference between someone who can't read and someone who won't read, NOTHING! Reading will unlock an exciting future. Whether its fictional or whether its educational reading is one of the most important parts of who you should be.

A great blog to follow for book reviews is:

http://bookishnookish.blogspot.com/

Your own self worth is the most important factor to you. And the whole reason why we set New Year Resolutions is so that we can become better. It's in our nature to grow and progress and be all that we can be. However, there is an outside force that drives us all back into our holes so progress can't be achieved!

Your goals are important! It's exciting to see individuals, families and other groups achieve goals.

The fastest way to achieve your New Year goals is to set and achieve smaller monthly goals! Baby steps will win the race!

I hope everyone enjoys 2010! Much Success to you and your future!

Happy New Year!!

I wasn't sure at first if this was going to work for me because, it was to good to be TRUE!.
The first week I dropped 11 lbs. I do have to say the after the first two days it was sort of rough getting use to eating 500 calories. But at the end it was all worth it. I have referred several friends to use HCG diet.

The Holiday Season and The HCG Diet

2009-11-02T15:50:00.001-08:00

Well the Holidays are upon us!

It's a Wonderful Time of Year!

HCG Diet Tips

If you are on The HCG Diet make sure you finish before Thanksgiving! There's nothing worse than dieting while the family prepares one of the best meals of the year!

If you haven't started and you have your HCG supplies ready to go. Only do a 23 Day Phase of the diet. This will allow you to be finished w/ Phase 2 before Thanksgiving comes. Yes, you'll still be on your Phase 3 maintenance program - no starches no sugars...but at least its not 500 calories.

If you haven't purchased your supplies or HCG then go ahead and get everything ordered and ready to go. You'll want to start your Diet on Jan 2, 2010 :) This gives everyone time to recover from New Year's.

www.pharmacyescrow.com/s33559-s-HCG-PREGNYL-100129-s.aspx

I would highly recommend NOT going on the HCG Diet over the holidays. It's a miserable time to be dieting. It's so much more fun to spend time with family and friends without having to worry about what you can and can't eat.

Just enjoy yourselves this Holiday Season!

I'm so excited for the amount of weight that was lost this year 2009.

Its the fastest way to drop weight and the easiest way to correct many health issues.

**Remember - The HCG Diet is the only FREE HCG Diet Program on the internet that offers all their information FREE.

HCG Clincs around the country!

2009-10-12T08:41:00.000-07:00

Over the years The HCG Diet has grown to become more popular throughout the state of Utah. It's been extremely interesting to watch.

3 1/2 years ago when we learned about The HCG Diet we were like any other family in the US looking for ways to overcome excessive weight gain. We found a clinic in Spanish Fork through a branch they had in Salt Lake City. My wife was charged $1200 for a 43 Day Phase of the diet using Injections. It was exactly what she needed. She lost 46 lbs in 4 1/2 weeks. It had been quite sometime since she had been that light.

We had so many friends and family question what she had done to lose so much weight. Well, we told them and alot of them didn't want to pay such a high price. So, we got an idea to put everything we learned down on paper and start giving away the information FREE.

Our business neighbors thought this was ridiculous. They told us we should be charging $100's for this information and we could become rich off it. We let them know that wasn't our intention. It was to help everyone we possibly could get this information and change their life at the cheapest cost available. FREE happens to be the cheapest!

http://www.thinkhcgdiet.com

So far to date we've been able to help over 250,000 people lose weight using The HCG Diet FREE Info packet. It's been exciting to see the number of people we've been able to help change their own life using HCG.

Linda has lost over 150 lbs in 1 1/2 years.
Lisa lost over 2 inches all around in 2 1/2 weeks.
Stephanie lost 46 lbs in 4 1/2 weeks.
Sandy has lost over 60 lbs in 7 weeks.
Paul has lost over 220 lbs in 1 1/2 years.

Our goal is to help 1,000,000 people lose weight using The HCG Diet. We are asking your help to pass this link around to as many people as possible.

http://www.thinkhcgdiet.com

Its the fastest, cheapest weightloss available online!

Now, the crazy thing is in Utah there are still so many clinics charging $400 or more for the same HCG injections or HCG sublingual drops that you can buy yourself for less than $100.

Lose 20-40 lbs in weeks not years! Pay less than $100 instead of $400 or more!

Flu Season and The HCG Diet

2009-10-02T16:14:00.000-07:00

This is going to be a quick post on the importance of protecting your health while on The HCG Diet.

While on The HCG Diet your body is working to rid itself of excess fat cells & toxins by burning that fat as energy along with the 500 calories you're alloted of fruits and vegetables.

These 23 or 43 days while you're on HCG is a critical time to protect yourself from outside viruses and such. This way your immune system can focus itself on riding your body of those terrible toxins that live and thrive in your fat cells.

Flu vaccines are definitely personal choice and may help in the prevention of certain viruses and illnesses.

Also, keeping your home clean of mold, dust and other allergens can help your body perform much better while dieting.

Keeping your Hygiene up during the diet is essential not only so others can stand to be around you but a clean body doesn't allow bacteria or parasites to grow and add toxins back into the body via the skin.

We recently found a New HCG Diet Hygiene Kit on Amazon.com

http://astore.amazon.com/4seaboo-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=2

Another product we've come to love and highly support is

SilverSoft.

SilverSoft® is the world's first and only CHELATED SILVER™ MICROBICIDAL FORMULA. This patented medical breakthrough will change the way you approach skin care and sanitizing protection. SilverSoft® is naturally based and completely safe for small children to adults.

http://www.silversoftforskin.com

I highly recommend you check out their website before the main Flu season is upon us or just for the fact that it can help you during your HCG Diet.

Have a great week! And remember our next drawing will be Oct 15th!

We will be giving away $100 Visa Gift Card & Specialized Body Wraps - more info to come!

*Remember we are not healthcare professionals and we highly recommend you talk w/ your healthcare professional before starting any type of diet or change in eating habits.

KSL.com talks about The HCG Diet

2009-09-21T22:59:00.000-07:00

If you are a Utah local you'll notice the story going around KSL.com about HCG Dieters.

http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=148&sid=8000430

The basic part of the story is true. We don't want people buying HCG from people off the street. This is dangerous! Why would you do this? Not sure. Why would you sell/buy a FDA regulated drug from someone off the street? By definition = drug dealer

What I don't agree with is the fact that they mention the HCG Diet doesn't work. However, if you read through the comments you'll notice how many people's testimonials are listed there as FACT that the HCG Diet works and has helped so many people change their life! And those with negative opinions have never done the diet.

If you are looking for a secure place to find all the HCG Diet information you need for FREE please visit us at: http://www.pounds-and-inches.com

Buy your HCG from a recommended pharmacy! And please consult your physican before starting any diet program. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!

Much Success!

Interesting Trend of HCG Dieters!

2009-08-07T13:35:00.000-07:00

Over the years we've noticed a gradual trend in HCG Dieters and where they've gone for HCG assistance in losing weight.

2.5 years ago we offered the same poll we did recently.

We asked, "I am doing the HCG Diet through:" and the results were -

- Dr.'s Office - 45 %
- HCG Clinic - 15%
- Personal Coach - 1%
- At Home - 29%
- Not Dieting - 8%

Now in 2009 when we asked the same exact question we found:

- Dr.'s Office - 16%
- HCG Clinic - 10%
- Personal Coach - 2%
- At Home - 64%
- Not Dieting - 6%

It's very interesting to notice that those going to a Dr.'s Office to get access to The HCG Diet has dramatically decreased over the years. While, those administering The HCG Diet at Home has increased to 64%.

The HCG Diet is a very simple process where you can lose 1-2 lbs per day. You don't need a doctor to tell you how to do this. Kevin Trudeau introduced us to the concept of doing this from home 2.5 yrs ago and since that date the world has listened and followed suit.

If you are thinking about losing weight; or the Doctor has told you to lose weight for Health Reasons; consider The HCG Diet as an option to lose weight quickly.

HCG Drops - Fact or Fiction?

2009-07-10T07:16:00.000-07:00

Do HCG Drops or Homeopathic HCG Drops actually work? Or is this just some big hoax to try and get more money out of people really trying to lose weight?

Millions of Americans are losing weight using The HCG Diet. And now many are trying the new HCG Drops or Homeopathic HCG.

Let's run through the Facts:

Homeopathic HCG has no HCG in it, but practitioners of homeopathy say the ‘energetic imprint’ of the HCG is in the solution, even though a 6X dilution is the equivalent of one dose of HCG in a bathtub of water. (24X would be like 1 dose of HCG in the Atlantic Ocean).

So why do people say Homeopathic HCG works ‘as well as real HCG’?

First off, it doesn’t. The results are inconsistent (but with real HCG they are consistent- virtually EVERYONE loses about 1 pound per day of body fat on real HCG).

Secondly, the claims that it works ‘as well as real HCG’ are made by people selling Homeopathic HCG. This isn’t what I’d call an independent, 3rd party testimonial.

But none of this matters - you can prove it to yourself (don’t expect the people selling the Homeopathic HCG to do this - it would make them look like quacks):

Purchase a pack of Ketostrips at your local drug store - they’re not expensive.

Each day you’re on the ‘Homeopathic HCG’ diet, test your urine with a Ketostrip. The darker the color, the more fat you are burning as your primary source of fuel.

When on REAL HCG, the Ketostrips will be very dark, which PROVES the weight being lost is from fat being burned.

If muscle is being burned, like what normally happens on a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) WITHOUT hCG, then the Ketostrip will show a lighter color.

LOOK: If Homeopathic remedies worked for hormones like HCG, wouldn’t there be an effective Homeopathic Anabolic Steroid that worked? You would have bodybuilders all over the place gobbling it down like Tic-Tacs!

From Consumer Reports:

The most comprehensive analysis of homeopathy we know of - a 2005 review published in The Lancet of 110 placebo-controlled homeopathy trials matched with 110 conventional-medicine trials—found that any benefit from homeopathic remedies was “compatible with” the placebo effect. An accompanying editorial, “The End of Homeopathy,” said that the findings were less surprising than the fact that debate over homeopathy continues “despite 150 years of unfavorable findings.”

If one goes on a Very Low Calorie Diet and takes Homeopathic HCG or a placebo, the result would be the same - one would lose weight!

But the promise of REAL HCG is it is Muscle Preserving, which means the weight you lose on real hCG is FAT. You can prove this by testing your urine daily with Keto Strips.

And if you take Homeopathic HCG, you can test your urine with Keto Strips and see for yourself the weight you are losing is a great deal of muscle, which puts you on a yo-yo dieting rollercoaster, and probably messes up your metabolism even worse than before your started.

Another test! You need a prescription to purchase HCG. The FDA requres a prescription. What about HCG Drops? If they contained HCG they would require a prescription to buy. I would also add if they were getting a prescription and adding real hcg into these HCG Drops this would be a federal offense to resale a controlled item w/out a prescription.

**Judge for yourself! Make a wise decision! Get all the facts before you choose between HCG Drops and the real HCG Injections.

The HCG Diet -

Approved Breakfast Items

The HCG Diet or better known as the 500 Calorie Diet is very strict as to what can and can't be consumed while on the diet.

Many people step back when they hear "The HCG Diet" is limited to 500 Calories daily. That's hardly anything. No wonder you lose weight you are starving yourself.

However, the truth is the HCG injected into your body allows your body to naturally release your fat reserves and burn that as energy. So by limiting your diet to 500 Calories your body is better able to burn off its fat reserves faster and more efficiently.

Breakfast is usually the time when you are suppose to eat a good amount of food to last throughout the day. On The HCG Diet, Breakfast is used as a cleansing time.

The approved items that one can consume during Breakfast are Water and Tea! That's it!

Each day when you wake up you'll head into the bathroom and weight yourself. Take care of business and head out to the Kitchen to give yourself an HCG injection.

This is where you should have a large glass of water or Tea. The HCG Diet after much experience has noticed the majority of clients have hunger pains from just drinking water in the morning. So we've introduced Green Tea "Pink" for women and Green Tea "Muscle Pump" for men.

To Order "Pink" please visit us at:
http://mygrenx.com/ProductPage.aspx?ItemID=151&ID=amg

To Order "Muscle Pump" please visit us at:
http://mygrenx.com/ProductPage.aspx?ItemID=111&ID=amg

This specialized Green Tea allows your body to reap the benefits of Green Tea in the morning giving you more energy throughout the day. Glutamine and L-Carnitine are also used to improve metabolism and enhances the natural ability of the body to burn fat.

What we've also noticed is Green Tea is a great help when it comes to maintaining your weight once you've come off the HCG.

The HCG Diet is no a cure for obesity. Its a quick way to lose 20-40 lbs without much effort using your body's natural ability to heal itself.

LE Magazine April 2008

New Research on the Health Benefits of Green Tea
By Julius Goepp, MD
In laboratories around the globe, green tea is sparking tremendous excitement as new health applications keep being discovered.

The most active green tea constituent is called epigallocatechin gallate. This unique flavonoid favorably alters pathways underlying pathological processes such as cancer,1-4 cardiovascular disease,5,6 diabetes,7 obesity,8 and Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.9-11 All of this points to green tea as a broad-spectrum nutrient that may promote long life.4,12

Green tea is consumed routinely in Asian populations, who have greater longevity and lower mortality rates for diseases that are prevalent in Western society.

Given the huge scientific literature supporting the positive role of green tea in preventing neurodegenerative diseases, not to mention its benefits in helping to prevent cancer and other diseases, as well as its lack of toxicity, there isample reason for consuming green tea poly-phenols on a regular basis.

In this article, we have interviewed international scientists on their current research into the myriad life-extending and life-enhancing benefits of green tea.

ABUNDANT RESEARCH CONFIRMS GREEN TEA’S VAST BENEFITS

Population-based studies13-15 and clinical trials4,16-20 have shown that green tea consumption is beneficial to human health, particularly in individuals who drink five or more cups of this beverage a day.6 Two Japanese studies suggest that those who drink several cups of green tea daily avoid premature cardiovascular death, which may help them live longer than subjects who consume less green tea.14,21

Green tea’s benefits for cancer protection and heart health have been confirmed by extensive research in cell culture22 and in animal experiments.23,24 Laboratory studies have also shown that green tea may help protect against loss of brain cells,9,25 bacterial and viral infections,18,26 allergies,27 arthritis,28 and decreased bone mineral density,29 among other health concerns.30,31 A clinical trial in human volunteers has also revealed that a green tea preparation helps improve immunity and prevents cold and flu symptoms.18

Swen Wolfram, PhD, from Basel, Switzerland, tells Life Extension, “Due to the tremendous interest of the public and the scientific community, the health benefits of green tea were extensively investigated during the past few years. No other traditional beverage has received such widespread scientific attention, and knowledge about its positive effects is exceptional. The various health benefits of regular green tea consumption may finally result in a prolonged life span.”

Pon Velayutham Anandh Babu, PhD, a postdoctoral research associate in Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, tells Life Extension. “Recent studies suggest that green tea possesses various health benefits on cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and diabetic complications, and oral health. The antihypertensive effect, antibacterial effect, antiviral effect and neuroprotective effect of green tea [are] also reported.”

The diverse benefits of green tea may arise from its unique constituents, which confer powerful antioxidant capacity. Green tea is particularly rich in healthful polyphenols known as catechins, the most abundant of which is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).5 This potent antioxidant effectively traps reactive oxygen species, or free radicals,1,4 which are common culprits in aging and chronic degenerative diseases. A Japanese study recently reported that taking a single dose of green tea catechin extract equivalent to drinking five cups of green tea a day improved the plasma antioxidant capacity of healthy adults.32

EGCG PROTECTS AGAINST CANCER

Laboratory studies suggest that EGCG works at the cellular level to intervene against various cancers, including cancer of the breast,33,34 pancreas,35 mouth,36 colon,37 and prostate.38,39

According to results from several epidemiological studies, individuals who drink green tea regularly may have less frequent or less severe cancer in various areas of the body, including the ovary,40 prostate,13,41 and head and neck.42 There is some evidence suggesting that regular intake of green tea at a level of more than three cups daily may reduce the risk of lung cancer in smokers.43 Even more encouraging is a recent intervention study confirming the preventive effects of green tea catechins in prostate cancer.44 Clinical trials in other types of cancer are ongoing.1

“The main evidence suggesting that green tea (and tea in general) is beneficial to human health has generally been studies relating to the ‘Asian paradox’—specifically that Asians exhibit behavior (e.g., smoking) that has been associated with heart disease and cancer for a long time in North America, yet their rates of these diseases are much lower,” Sean Eddy, PhD, a research associate in biochemistry at Boston University School of Medicine, tells Life Extension. “Green tea consumption, with its high levels of antioxidant flavonoids such as EGCG, has been noted as one of the potential reasons for this. Green tea works on multiple levels from protection and prevention to treatment, blocking inflammation and cancer.”

Epidemiological and population-based studies have also shown that young Asian women migrating to the US dramatically increase their lifetime risk of developing breast cancer and of dying from breast cancer, which suggests that environmental rather than genetic factors explain the “Asian paradox.”45-47

“Studies in Japan show that drinking three to six cups of green tea a day can have a protective effect against patients in remission treated for early-stage breast cancer,” Dr. Eddy says. “Green tea and/or EGCG has been shown to inhibit every type of cancer cell, at least in [a laboratory] setting. It’s also been shown to act as an anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, cholesterol-lowering, and potentially antiviral and antibacterial agent, which would explain green tea’s protective effect in heart disease.”

At the molecular level, EGCG directs cell signals that block harmful or dangerous activity that could lead to the uncontrolled growth characteristic of cancer cells.48

The cancer-preventive effects of green tea may be at least partly explained by the interaction of EGCG with a recently identified cellular-control mechanism (known as the 67-kDa laminin receptor), according to Dr. Wolfram.49 Green tea has been shown to suppress tumor growth by blocking angiogenesis, or formation of new blood vessels supplying the tumor.35,50

Studies by Dr. Eddy’s group have shown that green tea also inhibits a growth factor receptor called HER2, which is present in excess in about 30% of breast cancers and is associated with poor outcomes. Not only does EGCG inhibit growth of breast cancer cells in mice, but in one study it blocked the growth of breast cancer cells taken from a patient who did not respond to treatment with an antibody against HER2. Known as trastuzumab, this antibody is often used for immunotherapy in patients with HER2-positive tumors. Unlike trastuzumab, EGCG can enter into the brain, making it potentially useful in patients with breast tumors that have spread to the brain.51

Through a cascade of intermediate signals, HER2 inhibition ultimately induces a protein that dramatically suppresses tumor growth. Other studies have shown that EGCG and green tea block other signaling cascades involved in the proliferation and spread of cancer.52

“All of these cascades are important in cancer, heart disease, diabetes and/or inflammation,” Dr. Eddy says. “If you block their activation, you significantly block disease progression. While drug companies attempt to target one specific cellular target, green tea polyphenols affect a plethora of pathways, which makes it potentially better as a real therapy.”

EGCG PROTECTS CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH Green tea acts in many other ways to promote cardiovascular health. Thanks to potent antioxidant activity, green tea and EGCG scavenge damaging free radicals, or reactive oxygen species that cause cellular injury leading to heart disease.24,53,54

Heart disease can develop in many ways, such as:
¦ Inflammation of blood vessel walls and proliferation of the muscle cells within blood vessel walls, which contribute to atherosclerosis.
¦ Endothelial dysfunction and constriction of blood vessels, which reduce blood flow to the heart muscle and increase blood pressure.
¦ Abnormal platelet aggregation within blood vessels, which can lead to a deadly heart attack or stroke.

High levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), particularly when oxidized, which further aggravate all of these problems.

Amazingly, green tea can help protect against all of these culprits leading to heart disease and stroke.55-60 In a well-controlled study, human volunteers showed short-term improvements in blood flow with EGCG compared with placebo.20

“Green tea has been reported to beneficially impact parameters associated with cardiovascular dysfunction including lipoprotein oxidation, vascular inflammation, proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells, platelet aggregation, and vascular reactivity,” Dr. Babu says, referring to his own laboratory studies.61-63 “Catechins, the major polyphenolic compounds in green tea, exert vascular-protective effects through multiple mechanisms including antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, antithrombogenic, antiproliferative and lipid-lowering effects. Green tea catechins were also reported to regulate vascular tone.”

Epigallocatechin gallate also activates endothelial nitric oxide synthase in cells lining blood vessels, or endothelial cells,58,64,65 which Dr. Wolfram says may partially explain the cardiovascular benefits of green tea consumption. Increased release of nitric oxide causes smooth muscle within the blood vessel wall to relax, thereby increasing the diameter of the blood vessel and improving blood flow.

Another important mechanism may be that EGCG reduces the expression of cellular chemicals known as cytokines, which promote inflammation underlying atherosclerosis and heart disease. Epigallocatechin gallate may therefore inhibit inflammation and proliferation of smooth muscle cells within the blood vessel wall, thereby preventing vascular blockage.59

“Green tea and EGCG were shown to reduce atherosclerosis and improve arterial compliance and endothelial function,” Dr. Wolfram says. “Regular green tea consumption is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease such as stroke and myo-cardial infarction [heart attack].”

In further research, a clinical trial led by Japanese researcher, Nagao Tomonori, evaluated the effect of a green tea extract rich in catechins on risk factors for cardiovascular disease.17

“The continuous ingestion of [green tea extract] reduces body fat, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure in females and males without changing their lifestyles,” Dr. Tomonori tells Life Extension. “We found that increased beta-oxidation (fat burning) in the liver by catechins was associated with the reduction of intra-abdominal body fat, [which] is known to secrete factors causing various chronic diseases. Therefore, its reduction will reduce the risk of lifestyle-related chronic diseases.”

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: GREEN TEA
¦ Population studies in humans, laboratory studies in animals and in cell culture, and clinical studies in human subjects suggest a wealth of health benefits associated with green tea.
¦ Green tea is rich in healthful polyphenols, particularly a catechin known as EGCG, which is a potent antioxidant.
¦ Green tea may help prevent or manage cancer, heart and vascular disease, diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer ’ s disease and other neurological degenerative diseases, bacterial and viral infections, and other conditions.
¦ In Japanese populations, green tea consumption has been linked to longer life, especially in subjects drinking five cups or more daily. Western populations consume relatively little green tea.
¦ Green tea extract supplements may facilitate adequate consumption for maximal health benefits — without requiring lifestyle changes.
¦ Green tea supplements also avoid potential risks of esophageal cancer associated with drinking hot tea. This risk is thought to be related to the high temperature of traditionally prepared tea, because green tea itself has no known toxicity.

In addition to the mechanisms described above, Dr. Tomonori notes that EGCG also inhibits an enzyme that controls the rate of cholesterol production. He recommends additional research to determine how EGCG ameliorates cardiovascular risk factors and to study the effects of green tea in non-Japanese nationalities.

“The most important treatments for obesity and cardiovascular diseases should be obtained by an appropriate lifestyle such as balanced diet and exercise habits,” Dr. Tomonori says. “Continuous ingestion of a [green tea extract] high in catechins might assist this.”

The largest population-based study to date of the effects of green tea on life span is the Ohsaki study of more than 40,000 Japanese adults followed for up to 11 years.14 When enrolled in 1994, participants were 40 to 79 years old and had no history of stroke, coronary heart disease, or cancer. The study found that drinking more green tea protected against death from all causes and against death from cardiovascular disease, particularly from stroke, but not against death from cancer.

During follow-up, there were 12% fewer deaths from all causes in men and 23% fewer deaths in women who drank five or more cups of green tea per day, compared with those who drank less than one cup. Even more strikingly, there were 31% fewer cardiovascular deaths in women who drank five or more cups per day, compared with those who drank less than one cup.

Lead investigator of this study, Shinichi Kuriyama, MD, PhD, tells Life Extension, “We have confirmed that green tea consumption is associated with reduced mortality due to all causes, cardiovascular disease, but not cancer. Our study provides strong evidence regarding benefits of drinking green tea in humans on cardiovascular disease, but not cancer.”

Dr. Kuriyama, an associate professor of Epidemiology, Public Health, and Forensic Medicine at Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine in Sendai, Japan, points out that previous studies have suggested green tea may reduce cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension and obesity, which may partly explain improved survival linked to green tea consumption. Surprisingly, however, his study showed a protective effect of green tea drinking even in lean subjects and in those with normal blood pressure.

“Therefore, mechanisms other than the effects on traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors might play a role,” Dr. Kuriyama says. “A number of biological mechanisms including radical scavenging and antioxidant properties have been proposed for the beneficial effects of green tea in different models of chronic disease. Green tea polyphenols might directly affect atherosclerosis itself, irrespective of traditional cardiovascular disease risk profiles.”

GREEN TEA AND EGCG MAY HELP PREVENT OBESITY, DIABETES

Because diabetes and cardiovascular disease share some of the same risk factors, particularly obesity, it is not surprising that green tea, by ameliorating these risk factors,17 can help protect against diabetes as well as against heart disease.6-8

“Subjects with long-term consumption of green tea are characterized by a lower percentage of total body fat, smaller waist circumference, and decreased waist-to-hip ratio,” Dr. Wolfram says. “In intervention studies, it was shown that consumption of green tea can reduce body weight and abdominal fat as well as increase fat oxidation and energy expenditure. Furthermore, green tea consumption may reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes and improve glucose control and insulin sensitivity.”

The exact mechanism of how green tea helps control overweight and high blood sugar is not completely understood, and probably involves several different hormonal and metabolic mechanisms.8 However, Dr. Wolfram notes that EGCG regulates genes involved in fat oxidation and storage, as well as genes involved in insulin signaling and glucose metabolism.66-68

Amazingly, EGCG can even improve survival and function of insulin-secreting pancreatic islet cells grown in the laboratory, and could have future applications in enhancing the success of pancreatic islet cell transplantation.69 Furthermore, EGCG suppresses glucose production by liver cells.70 Drinking green tea was shown to improve glucose metabolism in healthy human volunteers,71 and in a population study, women who drank four or more cups of tea per day had a tendency toward lower diabetes risk, compared with women who drank no tea.72

Extensive studies by Dr. Babu’s group of the effects of green tea and its catechins in animal models of type 1 and type 2 diabetes.53,61,62,73 have shown that green tea helps optimize glucose utilization, thereby reducing blood glucose levels.

“Green tea administration significantly reduced elevated serum glucose level in [drug]-induced diabetic rats and increased glucose tolerance in normal rats,” Dr. Babu says. “Green tea also has been shown to lower blood glucose level both in [chemically induced] diabetic mice and a genetic model of type 2 diabetes.”

By lowering glucose production in liver cells and decreasing the activity of genes that enhance glucose production, “EGCG was reported to mimic insulin,” Dr. Babu explains. “Green tea also reduced accumulation of cholesterol, free fatty acids, and triglycerides in the heart of diabetic rats.”

The chronic, disabling complications of diabetes result from changes to the blood vessels in the limbs, eyes, kidneys, heart, and other organs. In the presence of high blood sugar levels, these complications arise when damaging byproducts of sugar metabolism, called advanced glycation end products (AGEs), interfere with cross-linking of collagen in connective tissue. Abnormal collagen fiber cross-linking contributes to fibrosis, in which the heart muscle and other tissues become increasingly dysfunctional as they stiffen and become rigid, much as pliable metal wires linked together can form an impenetrable coat of armor. Once again, green tea may intervene in this disease process.53,74

“Green tea extract administration reduced the accumulation of collagen, extent of glycation, formation of advanced glycation end products and cross-linking of collagen in [chemically induced] diabetic rats,”

Dr Babu says. “In our study, we proposed that green tea may have a therapeutic effect in the treatment of glycation-induced complications of diabetes.”

GREEN TEA CATECHINS PROTECT BRAIN CELLS

As with heart disease and other chronic diseases, oxidative damage and inflammation also underlie the ravages of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases associated with aging. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of green tea catechins may once again come to the rescue.10,11,75

“Recently, it has been hypothesized that green tea consumption may reduce the risk of degenerative brain diseases,” Bradford L. Frank, MD, MPH, MBA, assistant clinical professor at the University of Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences says. “There is now a large body of scientific evidence, experimental and epidemiological, demonstrating that certain natural compounds, such as catechins from green tea, improve age-related cognitive decline, and are neuroprotective in animal models of Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, Huntington’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and other brain diseases.”

One such animal model of Alzheimer’s disease is a mouse strain that shows accelerated loss of brain cells (atrophy) and memory impairment with aging. The effects of green tea in this model have been studied extensively by Keiko Unno, PhD, an associate professor of Bioorganic Chemistry at the University of Shizuoka in Japan.76

“We found that the learning and memory abilities were higher in aged mice that had drunk water containing green tea catechins than those in same-aged mice that had drunk water (control),” Dr. Unno tells Life Extension.“Moreover, brain atrophy was suppressed in aged mice drinking green tea catechins. These results suggest that consumption of green tea is beneficial to prevent cognitive dysfunction.”

Similar benefits of green tea polyphenols on behavior, learning, and changes in the brain have been seen in other mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease.77,78 Even young, healthy rats given long-term supplementation with green tea catechins in their drinking water show improved memory and learning compared with control rats, and these psychological benefits have been linked to lower reactive oxygen species in the hippocampus, a brain region involved in memory.79

Even more exciting, a population study by Dr. Kuriyama’s group15 showed that in more than 1,000 Japanese adults 70 years of age or older, regularly drinking more green tea is associated with a lower prevalence of cognitive impairment measured on the Mini-Mental Status Examination, a standardized test of memory and cognitive function. Compared with subjects who drank three or fewer cups per week, those who drank one cup per day had a 38% decrease in cognitive impairment. This significant protective effect was not observed with black tea or coffee.

Dr. Unno notes that the concentration of green tea catechins used in his animal experiments was only 0.02%, which is lower than the concentration of 0.05-0.06% found in green tea consumed by humans. He therefore suggests that daily consumption of several cups of green tea or the equivalent may be protective in humans (which would be borne out by Dr. Kuriyama’s study). Although the mechanisms by which green tea could benefit cognitive function and neuroprotection are still unclear, Dr. Unno suggests that the very high antioxidant activity of green tea catechins is important.

“Oxidative damage in proteins and DNA was lower in brain and other organs of aged mice that had drunk water containing green tea catechins than [in] control mice,” he says. Dr. Frank concurs that oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species plays a pivotal role in the age-associated cognitive decline and neuronal loss seen in neurodegenerative diseases, and that green tea has powerful antioxidant effects.

“However, recent studies indicate that the antioxidant property of green tea polyphenols is unlikely to be the sole explanation for their neuroprotective capacity,” Dr. Frank says. “In fact, a wide spectrum of cellular-signaling events may well account for their biological actions. There is substantial scientific evidence supporting the beneficial effects of green tea on cognitive function and its use as a natural neuro-protective substance.”

Death of nerve cells in Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, or other degenerative brain diseases may result not only from oxidative damage, but from a complex series of toxic reactions also involving inflammation, decline in protective neurochemicals, excess iron, and accumulation of harmful proteins such as amyloid-beta, the biochemical hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. Because EGCG may help interrupt this chain reaction, it may potentially have preventive or therapeutic value in Alzheimer’s disease9 and in Parkinson’s disease.25

“Green tea flavonoids (catechins) have been reported to possess metal chelating (binding and removing excess iron, for example), antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities, to penetrate the brain barrier, and to protect [against] neuronal death in a wide array of cellular and animal models of neurological diseases,” Dr. Frank says. “Evidence is increasing that green tea flavonoids can protect cells from [amyloid-beta]-mediated neurotoxicity. The main polyphenol in green tea, EGCG, exerts a beneficial role in reducing [amyloid-beta] levels by a variety of cellular mechanisms.”

In Alzheimer’s disease and in other forms of memory impairment, brain levels of acetylcholine, a chemical used by certain nerve cells to communicate with each other, decrease. In an animal model of Alzheimer’s disease,80 mice that regularly consumed tea polyphenols had higher brain levels of acetyl-choline and significant reversals of memory and learning deficits. “This finding suggests that tea polyphenol might be useful in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease,” the researchers write.80

In Parkinson’s disease, oxidative stress is thought to play an important role in nerve cell death. Green tea polyphenols may protect dopaminergic nerve cells against such oxidative stress, offering important neuroprotective effects against Parkinson’s disease.25

“It would be interesting to substantiate the neuroprotective effects identified in cell culture and in [live animal] studies in well-designed intervention studies in human subjects,” Dr. Wolfram says. “This could potentially have implications for the age-related decline in memory and alertness and be beneficial for subjects with Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s diseases.”

PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS FOR GOOD HEALTH WITH GREEN TEA

The experts interviewed by Life Extension agreed that research to date strongly supports the health benefits of green tea.

Dr. Wolfram believes that, “The most prominent health benefits are observed in subjects consuming five or more cups of green tea per day. Therefore, it is advisable that the general population increases green tea consumption to approximately this level.” Indeed, many of the human clinical trials highlighted in this report have used EGCG doses of up to 500 mg/day (equivalent to drinking up to five or six cups of green tea a day), in yielding optimum benefits for cardiovascular health and for protecting against cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases.13,15,16,17,20,43,72,81

However, Dr. Wolfram continues, “Unlike Asians, Europeans and Americans do not consume green tea several times per day throughout the whole year.” Use of purified green tea extracts may therefore be a viable alternative that does not involve lifestyle changes, especially because some Western consumers find the characteristic taste of traditional green tea unpalatable. Dr. Wolfram also advises the consumer to buy only green tea or extracts from well-controlled plantations.

“The food industry has recognized the health benefits of green tea catechins and is actively doing research to be able to offer standardized products which can help to support well-being and health of the consumer,”

Dr. Wolfram adds. “More results from well-designed, long-term, multicenter studies with standardized green tea products could potentially transform a beverage traditionally associated with a number of health benefits into an evidence-based functional food.”

“Every little bit helps, but more [green tea] is probably better,” Dr. Eddy recommends. “This is also the case with fruits/vegetables and other non-processed foods with high antioxidant qualities, like blueberries and pomegranates.”

Another reason that green tea supplements may be better than drinking green tea is that the consumption of this traditionally prepared hot beverage has been linked with an increased risk of esophageal cancer. 82,83 Scientists believe that large quantities of hot green tea may inflict local damage that makes the esophageal tissues more susceptible to cancer. Although total cancer mortality is not significantly different in Japan than in the US, the Japanese age-adjusted rate of death from cardiovascular disease is about 30% lower.

“Through a relatively low rate of cardiovascular disease mortality, the Japanese now have the longest life expectancy in the world,” Dr. Kuriyama concludes. “Although factors other than diet may also be contributory, green tea, a harmless drink with no caloric value, might provide a clue to clarifying the reason for Japanese longevity among dietary factors. In contrast, drinking green tea at high temperature may be associated with increased risk of esophageal cancer incidence and mortality; therefore, we recommend that green tea should be consumed at moderate or low temperature.”

GREEN TEA a LifeSaver?

2009-06-22T21:25:00.000-07:00

What does Green Tea have to do with "The HCG Diet"?

What is GreenTeaHP? Why would anyone want to Drink Green Tea? Are there really any health benefits to Drink Green Tea everyday?

What is GreenTeaHP?
GreenTeaHP is a proprietary blend of highly concentrated green tea antioxidants that are specific to green tea. It
also contains extracts and other ingredients such as açaí, noni juice, pomegranate extract, l-theanine, resveratrol,
and bioperine.

Don't forget your FREE Sample of "Pink" http://www.pounds-and-inches.com/greenteahp

Why and when do we take GreenTeaHP?
GreenTeaHP contains what the Company considers to be the “right amount” of antioxidants to combat the
environmental stresses we confront on a daily basis. We recommend that the beverage be consumed twice a day
with breakfast and with lunch. However, it can be consumed more often for your own personal enjoyment and
health.

Who makes GreenTeaHP?
GreenTeaHP is manufactured by grënx. It is formulated by world leading grënx beverage and nutraceutical
biochemists, and produced in grënx’ GMP certified facilities.

Where can I buy GreenTeaHP?
http://mygrenx.com/RetailProductList.aspx?ID=amg

Is it flavored?
grënx Research and Development has worked for the past eight years to perfect seven delicious natural flavors
that are found in each variety box. The flavors are original, peach, lemon, orange, cherry mango, pineapple
strawberry, coffee less mocha, fruit punch and fruit punch caffeine free – with more flavors coming soon.
GreenTeaHP is enhanced with natural fructose and FDA approved sweeteners. It is diabetic friendly.

Does it taste good?
Over the past three years, in retail locations around the world, GreenTeaHP flavors have been market tested and
modified to meet the needs of your palate. When re-ordering, simply select a full box of 60 pixies of the flavors
you like best. Remember, you may also want a variety box, sitting on the counter in your home, to meet the varied
tastes of other family members and guests.

What is a pixie?
Each serving of the GreenTeaHP extract is packaged in what we term a “single serve pixie”. It can be mixed with
12 – 16 ounces of cold water. Sixty single serve pixies are packaged in each variety box. All 60 pixies are easy to
carry, easy to drink and easy to share.

How do GreenTeaHP ingredients help me become healthier?
* Green tea: Thought to be responsible for the long-life health of Asian cultures, green tea is filled with powerful
antioxidants which have been linked with many health benefits including weight loss. The powerful antioxidant that
is specific to green tea is called EGCG.
* Açaí: Rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, açaí has been prized for centuries for its healthful properties.
* Noni Juice: Polynesian cultures have used noni for ages for vitality, strength and general health.
* Pomegranate Juice: Contains potent antioxidants linked to cardiovascular health and mental clarity.
* Resveratrol: One of the most promising anti-aging ingredients, resveratrol is the antioxidant found in red wine.
* Trace Minerals: Derived from sea water, trace minerals provide key nutrition to facilitate proper cellular function.

Have studies been performed on the health benefits of green tea and, if so, what are those benefits?
During the past 40 years thousands of studies on green tea have been conducted around the world. This
research has demonstrated that the "wonder substance, EGCG, the antioxidant only found in green tea" could:

* Enhance the immune system’s function(s) by guarding against oxidants and free radicals that weaken the body's
natural defense system.
* Prevent normal cells from turning cancerous.
* Suppress the formation and growth of tumors.
* Help regulate cholesterol levels.
* Lower the risk of stroke by making blood platelets less "sticky".
* Help control blood pressure.
* Help control blood sugar levels.
* Assist in weight loss.
* Ward off viruses, fungi, and food-borne bacteria.
* Fight bacteria in the mouth that cause cavities and bad breath.
* Slow the aging process.
* And more….

What is the difference between GreenTeaHP and regular green tea?
The advantages of GreenTeaHP are:
# GreenTeaHP is the only green tea made from fresh, not dried, green tea leaves. It uses a patented water
extraction process, which provides all the health benefits of green tea. These benefits include polyphenols
(flavonoids), vitamins, amino acids, minerals, fibers, and more.
# The proprietary extraction process—no chemicals, alcohol or organic solvents used. Each pixie serving
provides 1000 mg of green tea extract.
# Great natural fresh taste and color—no artificial colors or preservatives.
# Sugar-free and low calorie.
# 100% of the daily value of Vitamin C in each serving.
# Instant green tea powder tastes great, cold or hot, —just add water. We prefer cold.
# Most importantly, GreenTeaHP tastes great!

Are there any other ingredients in GreenTeaHP?
Instant Beverage: Green Tea Extract (Camellia Sinensis), Noni Juice, Açaí, Resveratrol, Pomegranate Extract, L-
Theanine, Bioperine, Orange Fruit Powder, Cherry Powder, Mango Powder, Lemon Powder, Peach Powder,
Pineapple Powder, Strawberry Powder, Fructose, Citric Acid, Beet Root Powder, Matcha, Natural and Artificial
Fruit Flavors, Xylitol, Malic Acid, Lecithin, Ascorbic Acid, Tartaric Acid, Beta Carotene, Tumeric Powder,
Roboflavin-5-Phosphate, Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin, Ace K, Silicon Dioxide, & Sucralose.

How do I use the instant GreenTeaHP pixie?
Open an individually sealed instant pixie and mix it with hot or cold water, – we prefer cold! Some customers like to
mix it with 12 ounces of water, and some with 16 ounces. Drink one with breakfast and one with lunch. Yes, you
can drink more servings throughout the day. Feel free to mix flavors!

A Great Article about Green Tea...

Perhaps you think of tea as a hot beverage sipped politely from delicate china cups, pinky finger extended. After all, the British tradition of "tea mania" has often included an accompaniment of crustless sandwiches, crumpets or other sweet treats.

Of course, the British weren't the first to jump on board with this beverage. In Asian cultures, the history of tea dates back 5,000 years.

Used in Zen Buddhist rituals, folk healing, and even elevated to an art form (the tea ceremony), tea was felt to be so important, it was often reserved for wealthy nobles.

But what about iced tea? As the story goes, a tea plantation owner exhibiting his wares at the first U.S. World's Fair in 1904 came up with the idea out of practicality — there was a heat wave and nobody was interested in drinking a hot beverage. To save his investment, he loaded ice into the brewed tea and offered fair-goers the first "iced tea".

The truth is, drinking tea is about as red, white and blue as the American flag. Surely you remember reading about the Boston Tea Party . . . Men of Boston threw hundreds of pounds of tea into the harbor to protest English taxation. This event helped spark the American Revolution.

So yes, real men (and real women) do drink tea — all over the world.

And not only because of the taste or the tradition. There's a much smarter reason to indulge in a little tea party of your own.

Tea — Not Just A Drink Anymore . . .

Dr. Russell Blaylock
Newsmax Medical Editor

According to our Newsmax medical editor Dr. Russell Blaylock, tea deserves a prominent place in your kitchen, and on your table.

In his recent issue of The Blaylock Wellness Report, he goes so far as to call tea a miracle beverage. And he's not given to hyperbole, either.

http://w3.newsmax.com/blaylock/38a.cfm?s=al&promo_code=81DD-1

Scientific studies have demonstrated that various compounds in this simple beverage help combat a variety of health ailments:

Stroke
Heart disease
Cancer (at least 10 different kinds!)
Diabetes
Weight issues
Digestive disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease
Macular degeneration, glaucoma, even cataracts
Autoimmune hepatitis
Rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases
Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases
And many, many more . . .

I think you can see by now that tea is not just a drink. Not anymore . . . However, there's more you need to know.

"I've had a great experience on the HCG diet. After a painful divorce, I quickly packed on the pounds (almost 40 to be exact). On the HCG diet I was able to lose 10 pounds in the first week and it's continued on from there. I feel incredible and am so glad I found the HCG diet!"

The HCG Diet Menus?

2009-06-10T07:48:00.000-07:00

The category of questions I get mostly have to do with HCG Diet Menus? What can and can't we eat.

It is a very specific 500 calorie diet and if you side step from that you could throw off your weight loss by days.

In "The HCG Diet" you'll find the complete breakdown of what can and can't be eaten. The best part of the whole diet is your success is directly linked to how well you follow the 500 calorie diet. If you stray from the diet and eat something that isn't allowed, then your diet will stray and you won't lose 1-2 lbs per day.

Through years of experience we've also noticed that its hard to eat the samething over and over again. Especially is you are doing the 43 Day Protocol. So in "The HCG Diet" we've provided you with pages of recipes where you can use the different ingredients and make really good HCG Meals that will still allow you to lose weight each day.

FREE Details on The HCG Diet

2009-06-08T16:45:00.000-07:00

The HCG Diet is one of controversy;

however, after much research you'll find that those who have completed the hCG Diet are those who are cheering others on. While those who have never tried the diet are completely against it.

With HCG being a controlled substance in the US many dieters are looking for HCG out of the country. This is probably your cheapest option since most doctors in the US will require a doctor's visit before they subscribe HCG for you.

After your HCG was ordered it was all about where to find HCG Supplies so you can actually do the diet from home.

Now you can buy or purchase your HCG and HCG Supplies in one location which is reliable and a verifiability safe location to purchase your HCG Diet essentials.

http://www.drugdelivery.ca/s33559-s-HCG-PREGNYL-100129-s ...

If you are looking to lose 20-30 lbs you'll want to start with the 23 Day Protocol. Which you'll need to purchase a 23 Day HCG KIt and 1 Ampule of HCG (Hucog) 5000 IU's. This will enable you to complete a 23 Day HCG Diet Protocol.

If you are looking to lose 30+ lbs you'll want to start with the 43 Day Protocol. You'll need to purchase a 43 Day HCG Kit and 3 Ampules of HCG (Hucog) 5000 IU's. This will allow you to complete a 43 Day HCG Diet Protocol.

Dr. Simeon's did plenty of research to see what worked and what didn't during the Diet. Experience has taught us that Dr. Simeon's was completely right in his philosophy. One of the main points he clarifies many times over was the need to rid Oils from your diet. This includes all unhealthy oils from your daily diet. The most overlooked part of the "No OILS" rule is what you apply to your skin. Your body's largest organ.

The skin will absorb anything you place on it with oils, especially while you are on the HCG Diet. If you apply lotion, deodorant, makeup, etc that contains oils your skin will suck that up and burn off that oil first, before it burns the fats and oils in your fat reserves.

So you'll also need to go through your Bathroom Items and remove anything that will cause this diet to not work in your favor.

Here is a link I found that helps you arrive at some choices where you can replace your current lotions and makeup with all natural HCG Diet approved items.

http://astore.amazon.com/4seaboo-20

The HCG Diet is one of the fastest growing diets in the world. Millions are losing their excess weight and feeling much better about getting out and around. Especially during these beautiful Spring/Summer months.

The HCG Diet changed my life in ways I'll never be able to explain. The emotions that were stored in my fat reserves was unreal. Once I got rid of the excess weight my life started changing in ways I could imagine. New business opportunities arose. I got pay raises. I actually got more friends.

There is something magical about losing weight and getting rid of the fat. You do change and its for the better.

Valerie Quintailla - TX

I began Easter weekend this 2009 on the loading phase. I have NEVER lost weight with such ease and felt this good.

My beginning weight was 199.3 and I am down to 172 with 4 days to go.

I can't begin to express the excitement of watching the weight "melt" way. I have struggled with my weight most of my adult life. I have tried diet pills, Atkins, Bariatrics, low calorie, weight watchers etc... Before you listen to ANY negative talk from anyone, do the research.

You can't "wing" this. All the information is available if you want it bad enough. That's it. It's simple. Do the research, get your products, start down the road to success.

www.pounds-and-inches.com

Follow the course and have success! I am living proof! I will hit my goal in phase 2 and will gladly update you. I will be happy to answer any questions on how you feel etc...but you definitely need to invest the time to read "Pounds and Inches" my email is backtoq@yahoo.com

Tiffanie Feher - UT

I am so excited I won! I had a baby last year and since I stayed home all I would do is eat and not exercise. Doing the HCG diet has helped me lose the baby weight and the extra weight I gained after delivery. It has also helped me learn to control what I eat and it helped me realize that I don't need to be eating as much as I was. Your eBook has been very helpful!

Thanks so much!
