Are Difficulties With Your Weight Affecting Your Happiness?

I want to introduce you to a friend of mine. She's the secret weapon that celebrities go to for losing weight (and keeping it off) and having a rock star body.

Her name is JJ Virgin and she's the Celebrity Nutrition and Wellness Expert.

After sending out our last newsletter on the Rockwell 30 Day Weight Loss Kit, we had quite a few of you contact us asking if we had a weight loss coaching and support program. Well, here is it is! The best coaching program I know of is by my friend JJ Virgin, and you will be blown away with the incredible education and support her team offers through this 21-day teleclass.

It's called "Freedom from the Fat Trap: Insiders' Secrets To Never Again Feel Tired, Bloated or Stuffed in Your Clothes."

I have personally taken her class and am impressed. I invite you to register and you'll get an audio that tells you details on the program. After 12 years studying in the nutrition industry, I can tell you that her weight loss coaching is based on sound nutrition principles, and it is nearly impossible to fail once you join her support team!

I'm here to tell you that good nutrition and a healthy weight are both important parts of a healthier AND happier YOU. Consider these scenarios:

• You shied away from having your picture taken with family and friends over the holidays because you want to lose "a few pounds" first.

• You're either tired all the time or your energy soars and dips throughout the day. (How much MORE do you think you could be accomplishing if you felt great all the time?)

• You realized AGAIN that a whole year has passed and you still feel unhappy about how you look and you haven't done a thing about it!

Get the idea?

The way you look and feel about yourself is DIRECTLY impacting you and your everyday life. And that's why it is important to introduce you to my friend JJ and invite you to register to gain access to the recording of her free teleclass:

In addition to Omega oils w/flax & evening primrose, what will aid weight loss?

Q. I want to lose weight. I have been taking a spoonful of Omega oils (flax and evening primrose) and I feel great. I also drink 32 oz. of water every morning. What else can I do? Should I cut carbs?

A. The bars are great before working out, and the Omega 3 oils are very important your metabolism and overall health.

I suggest you add in Carnitine Synergy by DFH and the Twice Daily Essentials Packets by DFH which contain a high quality multi, calcium, magnesium, and fish oils. This product is very easy to take each day, and it will ensure you are getting all your basic nutrients. In order to have successful weight loss, you need to give your body all the nutrients and co-factors it needs to burn fat and fuel energy. Providing your body with the basics is very important.

You are getting a good amount of exercise each week which is excellent, but I would highly recommend you do weights 3 times a week in addition to cardio 2-3x per week. You could do a workout consisting of both (i.e. 40 min weights, 30 min cardio). Working out on weights really makes a difference in your resting metabolism, and has a synergistic effect for fat burning when combined with cardio.

As for your diet, I recommend you follow a healthy low-carb program such as Living the Low Carb Life by Jonny Bowden, or Protein Power by Dr.Eades.

Or better yet, you may also want to do a phone consultation with us so we can customize an eating and supplement program for your needs. Let us know!

Which is best for fat & weight loss. Carnitine Synergy, Crave Arrest, or both?

Q. I was just looking at the Carnitine Synergy and was wondering should I try that in place of the Crave Arrest for fat and weight loss or stick with the Crave Arrest?

A. Crave Arrest and Carnitine Synergy have two different purposes. If you feel your weight loss efforts have been helped by reducing your cravings, then Crave Arrest is working well for you. If you don't feel you have food cravings, then perhaps you should in fact switch to Carnitine Synergy, which will optimize your body's fat burning potential. Carnitine does make a difference in your ability to burn fat as energy and many of my clients have found it helpful especially for improving energy during low carb diets. Without adequate Carnitine levels, fat cannot be burned.

Is it OK to combine Crave Arrest & Carnitine Synergy if taking Adrenotone?

Q. Would it be safe to take Crave Arrest and Carnitine Synergy at the same time; I also take Adrenotone?

A. Taking Crave Arrest and Carnitine Synergy together is perfectly safe. They work on different pathways... seratonin vs. mitochondria. There is also no contra-indication for taking Adrenotone along with Carnitine and Crave Arrest. They are all part of a healthy weight loss program. Supporting the adrenal glands is important too since weight loss puts a lot of stress on the body, not to mention that everyday stress further causes the adrenal glands to fatigue.

What's recommended for weight loss that would not interfere with my taking Abilify?

Q. What is the best nutrition supplement to help me lose weight which I can take without worrying about the medications I take for depression such as Abiify?

A. Here are a few products (with weblinks) which help improve the body's ability to burn fat, without interfering with your medication, Abilify:

• L-Carnitine by DFH - 1/2 tsp L-carnitine, three times per day with meals helps the body burn fat more efficiently. When taken with meals, it will achieve a lower but more prolonged elevated plasma level, about 7-8 hours, supporting at first the metabolism of the fat ingested with meals and subsequently that of the fat released from the adipose tissue. Please see the "More Info" section when you click on this product to read more.
• CLA by DFH - CLA seems to direct triglycerides away from storage and towards oxidation. Take one softgel a day with meals. This nutrient seems to really target abdominal fat.
• PaleoFiber by DFH - this gentle fiber powder does help keep the bowels regular with easy movements, and it supports GI health with an additional benefit of probiotics. Research has found that increasing daily fiber is an easy, healthy way to support weight loss by increasing the feeling of fullness and better blood sugar regulation. Work up to 1 Tbsp on an empty stomach, 1-2 times a day. I recommend the powder rather than capsules because it is easier than taking a bunch of pills. Mix with water (& a little juice if you buy the unflavored). It also comes in a berry flavor. It is important to drink ample water when increasing fiber to help it move through the digestive tract.

You can certainly take all 3 products while you are trying to lose weight for maximum benefit. Also, we do provide customized nutritional consultations.

What's recommended for weight loss for a person with a slight case of Asthma?

Q. I need guidance with weight loss. I am Healthy and I'm not on any prescription medications or any other supplements. I have had a Heart Murmur when I was smaller about 2 years old and I have ASTHMA but it's not even noticeable. Sometimes I forget I even have it. Any recommendations based on that?

A. First, it is also helpful to add a meal replacement protein shake to your day instead of a meal. Ideally for breakfast so it boosts your metabolism for the day. This is a good way to get good nutrition and rev up your fat burning potential. We have a great package of protein smoothies for weight loss available on our website.

Here are a few products which can safely help improve the body's ability to burn fat:

• L-Carnitine by DFH - 1/2 tsp L-carnitine, three times per day with meals helps the body burn fat more efficiently.

• EndoTrim™ is a comprehensive endocrine balancing formula designed to promote optimal insulin, leptin and cortisol balance. This formula is for anyone wishing to improve body composition and lose weight.
• Decrease body fat
• Increase lean muscle
• Balance cortisol
• Glucose and insulin control
• Optimize metabolism
• Increase energy
• Decrease food cravings
• Decrease anxiety

I highly recommend this to assist in your metabolism function. Take two capsules twice daily, between meals, if possible. I do not see any ingredients which would be a problem with your asthma. In fact, it might help improve it even further with the green tea extract that is in this product.

We also have great protein bars for a snack or to eat to replenish your body after a workout, this is one of our favorites: PaleoBars

Remember, these products are all helpful for assisting the body in fat reduction and weight loss, however, the main key component is exercise. Do you do any physical activity at this time?

If not, try to start adding at least a brisk walk for 20-30 minutes everyday to help improve circulation. Next, work up to "burst training" for 15 minutes per day. Experts recommend 30 seconds of intense exercise followed by 1 minute of recovery. Do this 8-16 times depending on your level. You can read about burst training online. Here are some videos.

Diet is also key as well, focus on lowering refined carbs and increasing fruit and veggies and lean proteins like beans, wild fish, organic chicken, turkey and grass-fed lean beef, buffalo or lamb. Healthy fats such as fish oils, avocado, olive oil almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts (in small quantity) are also helpful for maintaining better weight loss over time.

If you suspect you have a sluggish thyroid, add in Thyroid Synergy - Often sluggish weight loss can be due to an underactive thyroid or the thyroid hormones not being properly utilized by the body. This product helps better regulate this process so the body can work more normally.
