As opposed to the classic “diet pills” that counter and inhibit the body's physiological actions, certain natural substances together with mineral and vitamin supplements can be a helpful aid in weight loss. These products assist the natural activation of metabolism without causing harmful side-effects.
These substances don't have a specific pharmacological action and can be introduced into a regime built around signals that work to activate metabolism and oppose signals of alarm or danger generated by poor eating habits.
A diet must provide the proper balance of carbohydrates and proteins; if one isn't able to guarantee this ratio, protein supplements can be used. In addition to a balanced diet, certain oils and antioxidants are extremely important for actively modifying insulin resistance because they improve insulin sensitivity and interrupt the vicious circle that causes inflammation, danger signals and weight gain.
Remedies that aid weight loss
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)
The body's cells recognize this oil as something beneficial and primitive and therefore it enters the cells and links with PPAR-gamma receptors that transmit their signal to the nucleus. On the one hand this induces it to block the lipase that stimulates the deposit of fats within the adipocytes and on the other helps it to transcribe lipolytic and catabolic enzymes. These molecules provide the body with extremely important balance signals (Tonalin oil, CLA, etc); it is said that when CLA is used for three months in a row it's even able to reduce “love handles”...
Anthocyanidins and other anti-oxidants
These are among the most active substances for aiding weight loss. In 2008, the Japanese scientist Tsuda revealed that constant supplementation with a particular anti-oxidant mixture made from purple corn prevented obesity and improved glycemic peaks in laboratory animals. Purple corn (Mais-Rox) contains a high quantity of these particular anthocyanidins, but blueberries also contain them, if in a lesser degree. Their action is performed by a substance called C3G that activates and promotes the effect of adiponectin, a substance that counters insulin resistance. Good for people who love sweets.
Lipoic acid and euglycemizers
Lipoic acid is an antioxidant compound with a strong double action: it “recharges” the substances that defend the body from free radicals (some call it the antioxidant of the antioxidants). It also activates a strong balancing effect on insulin sensitivity, thereby repairing much of the damage from hyperglycemia. It acts upon the adipose build-up typical in hyperglycemic people or diabetics (generally in the stomach area or in the folds below the navel) and helps restore insulin balance within the diet. These substances are particularly suited for people with the typical apple shape, who accumulate fat around the waist and often have thin legs and a hefty middle section. Cinnamon also helps to restore glycemic balance.
Trace elements
Another group of substances that help regulate body fat is made up of trace elements. Among these, Chromium and Magnesium are particularly useful for improving insulin sensitivity; when a person lacks these elements, he tends to gain weight easily. Any one with insulin resistance (diabetics included) can benefit from them and our clinical experience has demonstrated that good results can be achieved when used together with signal therapy and lifestyle modifications. Several of the preparations that we recommend are Picocromo Super Concentrated, Magnesium Mg+, oxiprolinates, Oximix 6+ and Cellfood Diet Switch for their high bioavailability that provides for good biological effects even at low dosages. Suitable for people who need to regulate insulin peaks and also suffer from swelling.
Thermogenetic and activator substances
The use of an amino acid, Levo Tirosine, helps activate the catecolamines that consume energy derived from food. This substance is generally used in the morning in order to follow the body's biological clock. Tirosine not only aids and supports thyroid function, it also activates energy in general and is therefore particularly suitable for people with a slow metabolism and who often suffer from fatigue. I usually recommend a dosage of two 500 mg capsules of Amino Tirosina taken together between 10 and 11 o'clock AM.
Some other substances increase the dispersion of heat generated from calorie intake, thereby reducing its transformation towards fat accumulation. In addition to being an important antioxidant, green tea also exerts an important support action in heat dispersion (the epigallocatechines gallate molecules that it contains seem to be the most active for this purpose) and Fito Tè Verde is the most suitable product in this sense.
When these substances are used within the context of an appropriate signal diet they will yield all of their potential aid for returning to an ideal weight. Suitable for people who need to stimulate a slow metabolism.
Some of Eurosalus' most tried and true remedies
Tonalin oil, composed of CLA, 2-3 gel caps to be taken before meals for at least a 3 month period. Their principal action is developed on the PPAR gamma, activating body fat consumption (particularly that which is distributed around the hips.
Amino Tirosina 500, 2 capsules in the morning for a support action on catabolism. Especially effective when taken in the first hours of the morning.
Mais-Rox (Purple Corn), rich in Anthocyanidin with a powerful antioxidant action proven to be effective on weight gain control. To be taken at the dosage of 2 capsules per day. Effective in cases where fat is distributed on the stomach, legs and buttocks.
Picocromo Super Concentrated, rich in Chromium, one of the most important products for restoring insulin sensitivity balance. Use one dose per day, preferably in the evening.
Lipoic cannella (Lipoic cinnamon) , rich in lipoic acid, helps restore balance in situations of hyperglycemia and repair the harm that comes from it; particularly active in aiding the reduction of fat that typically accumulates around the waistline. Take 3 tablets per day, before breakfast, lunch and dinner for at least 3 months. The dosage may be increased to 4 tablets per day if needed.
Fito Té Verde (Phyto Green Tea), exerts an important antioxidant action and stimulates heat production; helps direct energy consumption towards a path that is different from that of fat accumulation. Take 2 capsules per day.
Oximix 6+, rich in Chromium and Magnesium, acts in a synergetic manner to improve insulin sensitivity. Use two 5 ml. measures per day, at breakfast and at dinner.
Magnesio Mg+(Magnesium) (Driatec), magnesium based formula, useful against swelling caused by excess salt intake as well as for improving intestinal function and insulin resistance control. Take 2-3 measures during the course of the day.
Cellfood Diet Switch, along with Cellfood base, this composition encourages weight loss and combines microdoses of L-Carnitine and Citrin K, a substance that is extracted from Garcinia Cambogia. Both ingredients have a stimulating action on fat consumption. Take 20 drops in the evening and, if needed, in the morning as well.
