Commentary by Peggy Wheeler - "My Two Secrets for Shedding Weight Permanently"

My Two Secrets for Shedding Weight Permanently
By:  Peggy Wheeler, M.A.

75% of Americans are overweight, and an astounding 40 to 50% of those who are overweight are medically obese. We are, by far, the fattest nation in the world.

To make things worse, there are over 60 very real life-threatening diseases attributed to conditions of overweight.  In fact, if you carry as little as 15 excess pounds for any length of time, it's a matter of when (not if) you will succumb to one of those 60 diseases, including heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, stroke, or diabetes.

So what do we do?  We diet!  Unfortunately, most diets simply do not work. If you are like me, you have tried every diet that has come down the pike but you still can't lose weight, or can‚'t keep it off in the long run.

I personally have tried the Atkins Diet, The Protein Power Diet, The Hollywood Diet, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, The Grapefruit Diet, The Green Tea Diet, the Metabolite supplements, the B12/Apple Cider Vinegar pill, The Cabbage Soup Diet, fasting, meal replacement shakes, Raw Juice Diet, vegan diet, The Metabolic Research Plan, The Enzymatic Diet, and I've used or researched many, many others.   With any diet or diet aid, I lose weight initially, but the second I deviate from the diet, slow down on my exercise regime, or quit using the latest diet drink, pill, shake or supplement, all the weight (plus more) returns with a vengeance.

Of the more than 3,000 diets and diet products on the market today (and literally 100s new ones appearing every day) more than 98% of them fail!   Why?   The way you lose weight when you diet is to deprive yourself of calories, or fat, or sweets, or carbohydrates.  In a nutshell, you starve your body into submission through deprivation.  When you deprive yourself, you can experience both bio-chemical and psychological repercussions that result in what is known as ‚"the rebound effect.‚"  This means that after a diet, you may have lost weight, but you will most likely gain the weight back quicker than you'd lost it, and then you put on even more weight on top of what you've regained.  If you are depending on diet aids, especially those with stimulants, your body responds only while you are using the aids, and then the rebound effect kicks in again.  So if diets, diet aides, and rigorous exercise do not work, what alternatives do we have?  Well, do I ever have great news for you!

Believe it or not, there are two simple secrets to shedding weight rapidly, and keeping it off, and these two things are very simple.  We all agree that the "common sense trio" of exercise, sound nutrition, and water are important to any health and weight loss program, but you don't have to go on a rigid, austere diet that requires the discipline of a saint, adhere to an exercise regime that would kill an Olympic gold medallist, or drink twice your body weight in water every day.  If you want to shed weight, and keep it off, the number one secret is cleansing your body.  Once you rid yourself of internal toxins, the fat flushes out of your system.  No magic, no mystery, no prolonged agony, no kidding.

Why cleanse?  Daily we are bombarded by chemicals, pesticides, toxic by-products, carcinogenic particles, food additives, dirt, allergens, parasites, heavy metals such as lead and mercury, radiation, air pollution, and tap water (which contains over 700 dangerous chemicals, by the way).  The list of toxins our bodies contend with every moment of every single day is endless.  Even if we eat the cleanest all-vegetarian, all-organic, never-touch-junk-food, low-calorie diet in the world, we cannot avoid what is in our air, soil, or underground aquifers and we can still be overweight!

When Dr. Tony Escobar, biochemist and master herbalist who has been a health product developer for over 22 years, speaks about detoxification, he asks his audience, "What would happen if you never changed your car's oil, never brushed your teeth, or never changed the filter on your air conditioner?"  Of course, the answers are obvious.  He follows by asking, "...then why do you never cleanse your internal organs?".  It gives one reason to pause, doesn't it?   If we never cleanse our colon, kidneys, blood, gallbladder, or liver, what do we think happens to all the toxins that we are constantly exposed to?  Well, for starters, all those toxins can remain in our system to clog up our organs and arteries, which besides leading to serious illness, contributes in a grand way to weight gain and fat retention!

The relationship between cleansing and weight loss is simple.  Your organs, particularly those associated with filtering, such as your liver and kidneys will always work to protect you.  Let's talk about your liver specifically.  Your liver plays a huge role in filtering toxins and metabolizing fat.  A toxic liver cannot function as it was designed to.  If has to contend with chemicals and pesticides, but needs to metabolize fat at the same time, the stressed liver cannot always handle both. This marvelous organ will automatically filter toxins first to ensure that they do not find their way into your brain or heart where they might kill you.

If your liver could talk (don't laugh - when I eat poorly or drink too much wine, I swear, in its own way my liver does talk to me about it!)  it would say something like this: "Okay, I have this load of toxins to filter,  and I have some dietary fat to metabolize. Since I'm clogged and can't perform efficiently, I have to make a choice.   To save the life of my body, I will neutralize the toxins and I'll just dump this blubber directly into the abdominal wall and hold it there."  Kidneys, bowels, skin, blood, and gallbladder have to make similar decisions constantly, and believe me, in every instance, if your organs are too toxic to perform all their functions, they will chose to preserve your life over keeping you slim.  If you never cleanse your system, your clogged organs will continue to deposit dietary fat into other areas of your body rather than processing it and flushing it out. If you cleanse your system, your organs will function optimally and can efficiently handle both toxins and fat.   Plain and simple.

Incidentally, did you know that fat itself plays an important role in protecting your body?  To keep heavy metals and chemicals away from your vital organs, fat cells enrobe the toxins to keep them at bay.  If you detoxify your system, the fat has no reason to remain, so the fat flushes itself out of your body.  Again, plain and simple.

But, detoxification is only the first step to fast, long-term weight loss.  There is another critical piece to shedding weight and keeping it off.  Feed your body.  While you detox, it's also important that you use great nutrition to simultaneously support your organs.   If Secret Number One to long-term weight loss is detoxification, then Secret Number Two is great nutrition.  The word "Diet" has within it the word "Die" because if you are on a diet, you are not cleansing your system of toxins or receiving the nutrition you need to thrive.  And, without proper cleansing and nutritional support, you are simply killing yourself.

How does one detoxify and feed the system?  You can seek the services of a qualified nutritionist, an herbalist, a detoxification specialist, a naturopathic physician, or a colon therapist.   But, I know a better way.

Imagine a marvelous technology that thoroughly and naturally detoxifies all of your organs, and also feeds and supports the body with incredible, pure, bio-available nutrients.  What if that technology also allows you to shed a lot of weight quickly without the rebound effect?   Well there is such a technology, and it works!  It's called Isagenix.  The ancillary benefit (or "side effect") of Isagenix is weight loss, meaning that it's not a "diet" or "weight loss" program.  The reason you shed pounds with Isagenix is because your organs are cleansed and supported so that they work the way they are supposed to.  The Isagenix technology feeds your endocrine system, especially your adrenals, and cleanses your body so that it can efficiently handle dietary fats, process toxins, and get rid of colon plaque, chemicals, candida and parasites.  When that happens, you lose weight, lots of weight, quickly and safely.  And because Isagenix also contains over 240 vital all-natural nutrients, 70 organic plant-based ionic minerals, all the live enzymes your body needs, powerful probiotics, and the purest, low-lactose whey protein available, and because Isagenix does its job without employing dangerous stimulants, artificial flavors, chemical colors, or artificial sweeteners, you quickly become healthy.  A person who is healthy cannot be overweight.

I refuse to make medical claims, but I can tell you that more and more testimonies are rolling in from all over the country from people who are using Isagenix (and I mean real verifiable testimonies, not bogus-made-up hype) that with their physician's consent, are getting off their blood-pressure medication, insulin (if they are type-2 diabetics), anti-depressants, cholesterol medications, sleep apnea machines, and hormone replacement therapies.  Many people who are on Isagenix are reporting great increases in their energy, less arthritic pain, eradicated or greatly lessened symptoms related to fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, increase in mental clarity and cognitive abilities, and better sleep.  Is Isagenix a "miracle"?  No, of course not, but since Isagenix does detoxify the body and feed the body's systems the right way, people are becoming healthy.  The miracle is in your own body's ability to quickly respond to the cleansing and great nutritional support that Isagenix provides.  And, here is the best part -- 90% of all overweight people who use Isagenix consistently, and as directed, get rid of weight, a lot of weight, without the rebound effect.   What a precious and wonderful technology that Isagenix offers to us!

My own story is that after 11 years of battling a serious overweight condition (plus fatigue, brain fog related to candida, a hormonal imbalance that threw me into premature menopause, arthritis pain, and breast cysts) after less than 10 weeks of using Isagenix, I not only lost 36 lbs and 42 inches and I've kept it off for over 6 months, this is what else happened to me:

• No more fatigue.  Plus, when I sleep, it's sound and restful.  I no longer wake up at 2 or 3 every morning.

• No more pre-menopausal hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, or hormone headaches.  After almost 2 years, my periods have returned consistently without cramping or tension (which I'd had all my life.)  I'm no longer using my herbal and homeopathic hormone therapies at all.  I simply don't need them.

• No more breast cysts.  I'd suffered with them for many years.

• No more signs of candida, and no more brain fog related to candida.

• No more arthritis pain at all.

• No more heartburn or digestive issues.

 

On top of all that, people tell me that I look years younger.  My complexion has improved, and some of my fine lines and wrinkles have all but disappeared.  At last, I know what it is to feel and look good.  I have my life back!   I want to help you get your life back, too.

 

Isagenix works.  It's even effective for people who think they cannot lose weight.   It worked for me!   For more information on the incredible Isagenix technology, check out www.thebalancedbody.Isagenix.com, or call me at 303 674-0600.
