There are many reasons why controlling our weight is a good idea for most of
us. We long for a trim body for our own vanity, for self-esteem and to be more
attractive to others. However, if those were the only reasons for wanting to
be thin then we, as a nutrition company, would not have created a diet product.
We are strictly concerned with matters of nutrition.
An overweight body is not a healthy body. Clinical studies repeatedly show
overweight individuals have a much higher incidence of diabetes, heart disease,
hypertension and a myriad of other serious complaints. These matters have little
to do with vanity and everything to do with health. Health is our business and
slim good looks that go with healthy bodies are a fringe benefit.
Most of us believe that if only we could muster up the willpower to eat less,
those stubborn pounds would disappear. This is not necessarily true. Eating
fewer calories alone does not guarantee you will lose weight. When you severely
reduce your caloric intake you may well be depriving your body of the many nutrients
it must have to maintain good health. When your body is missing these vital
nutrients, it thinks you are starving. This triggers a survival mode response.
Your body holds on to fat so you will not starve. There you are, eating 750
calories a day, without losing an ounce.
The key to successful dieting is found in your diet. Not in what you are not
eating _ but in what you are eating. When you lower your caloric intake, you
need many essential nutrients in just the right balance for your body to burn
fat in the most efficient way. Only when your body gets these vital nutrients
will it stop holding on to that fat!
This basic nutritional principle led to the formulation of Lewis Laboratories'
Weigh Down. Only Weigh Down gives you all the nutrients you need to
diet successfully in a low calorie formulation. It provides at least 100% of
all vitamins, minerals, proteins and fiber you need plus digestive enzymes so
these nutrients can readily be used. Weigh Down also contains an effective level
of three important lipotropic factors _ choline, inositol and carnitine which
usually help burn fat deposits. In fact, it gives you many essential nutrients
you could not possibly get without overeating.
Losing weight is not very attractive unless you have the muscle tone to go
with it. On most diets you do not just lose fat, you also lose muscle. Where
does this muscle go? When you diet, your body metabolizes glycogen (stored sugar)
for energy. Almost one pound of water is lost for every four ounces of glycogen
burned _ the rest is mostly muscle.
The nutrients in Weigh Down discourage the loss of muscle.
You won't just retain muscle on the Weigh Down plan, you are likely to gain
new muscle tissue.
While on a reduced calorie diet it is very important your body functions regularly
if you are to enjoy steady weight loss. By providing the necessary bulk material
your body needs, it helps ensure proper digestive functioning and gives you
the full feeling of having had enough to eat.
Weigh Down provides every nutritional element for a successful
diet. It contains nutrients that speed your metabolism and helps you build muscle
while losing fat. It contains nutrients that make you feel full and satisfied
with only 108 calories per serving.
Most diet plans claim they make it easy to lose weight. There is no easy way
to lose weight. The real difference is that Weigh Down will
work when others will not. As good as Weigh Down is, unless you are serious
and willing to make some lifestyle adjustments, Weigh Down cannot help you _
nothing can. On the other hand, if you are serious, no other product will give
your resolve more support than Weigh Down.
The first thing you should do is to set realistic goals. Many people fear their
problem might be inherited. Remember, many people with overweight parents have
inherited overweight habits, not genes. Examine your eating habits, both as
to quantity and content of what you eat and give up those snacks. If you are
genetically programmed to be on the heavy side then you may never be very thin
but you certainly have the power to control your weight within realistic parameters.
Weigh Down can help you lose weight and restore a better relationship
in your muscle to fat ratio, regardless of your genetic inclination.
The next thing you should do is set up a regular schedule of modest exercise.
As little as fifteen minutes a day of "race walking," bicycling or
swimming can force your muscles to manufacture more of the enzymes that convert
fatty acids to energy. If you can gradually increase your exercise time you
will get even better results.
Do not expect an overnight miracle. In many cases, after your body has adjusted
to the new regimen, most will not see results until the second week. Resist
the temptation to weigh yourself everyday. The little variations you see will
be meaningless. Real permanent weight loss is a gradual process. Don't forget,
even one pound a week is 52 pounds a year. Rapid weight loss is usually related
to lost water _ not fat, and could be damaging to your health. Always consult
your doctor before beginning any serious weight loss program. There is simply
no better program or product than Weigh Down to give you steady
weight loss, combined with the benefits of optimal health.
Lewis Labs' Weigh Down is a powder available in Vanilla, Chocolate
and Strawberry which, when mixed with skim or low fat milk, makes a thick, rich,
delicious meal.
