New Year Weight Loss!

Four Years ago Debra Clydesdale an IR Body wrap author came up with a great research result about weight loss.

Here is her story it might helps ……..

“Heat Up”

Did you know youu could lie down, breath deep & burn 900+ calories? 
Neither did I…
And it sounded too good to be true so I did some research on my own to find out about this seemingly wonderful bodywrap treatment.
First I had to try it.  Let’s face it if it doesn’t feel great and get results it isn’t worth doing all of the research on finding out how it works and all the rest.  So I dressed up in my cotton sweats and drove up to Ventura California to try it out.  Hydrating and drinking my water as I headed up highway 101.
Before the bodywrap, I measured the circumference of my upper arms, ribcage, waist, hips and upper thighs before the first treatment and kept it as a reference.  I was really skeptical, but you never know unless you try it.  I didn’t expect to have any change.
I laid down on a table and 6 large warm pads were wrapped around my upper arms, waist, hips and thighs.  Then I was covered with a blanket and padded with towels where it was appropriate and it was that easy.  I could hear relaxing music and actually it was wonderful to do a breathing meditation and actually take an hour for myself.
Now I’m sort of a lizard – I love the heat – so the pads got warmer and warmer and I broke put is a good sweat.  I continued to sweat, a lot.  I hadn’t sweat that much since the dance classes I had loved back at Broadway Dance center a few summers ago in New York City and I knew I would love this treatment.  I had been busy building a business and going back to school so I had not been keeping myself in shape like I did before.  I had a thought that this bodywrap thing might be a good way to start to get myself back on track.
After an hour, I was drenched – and very happy.  I re-measured myself and lost 3 inches total.  Not much, but the treatment felt so good it didn’t matter too much and I drove home drinking another huge bottle of water.  The gentleman who helped me with the treatment said that the process would continue overnight after the bodywrap had finished and the more fluids the better so I took his advice and planned to measure myself again in the morning.
To my surprise, after measuring myself the next morning I had lost 13 inches total!  Wow!  I called them up and they said that this was more than average – maybe because I have a good diet and stayed hydrated – but regardless I was psyched.  I had to learn more…
So how does this Infrared BodyWrap Work?
Infrared light, which we feel in our bodies as heat is an abundant form of energy we receive from sunlight.  We as humans radiate infrared heat every second of every day (The army uses infrared binoculars for night vision – to see humans in the darkness).  It is part of our human biology.  I would discover that FAR Infrared treatments are used worldwide by medical practitioners as they are one of the most resonant (closely matched) forms of heat for the human body.
Radiant Heat or Infrared energy is a form of energy that is part of the electromagnetic spectrum.  Everything can be described by electrical principles after all we are all electrons protons and neutrons arranged in different patterns.  The infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum happens just below red light waves and is not visible to human eyes but can be felt as heat. (This explains the night vision binoculars example above).  The sun produces most of its energy in the form of infrared energy, our atmosphere allows it in and the earth radiates it back – living out in nature we are daily surrounded by infrared waves.  But not so – in these days of indoor living, SPF sunblock and hiding away from the sun.
Our bodies, on average, radiate infrared energy at about 9.4 microns. The internal production of infrared energy that normally occurs within us is associated with a number of healing responses and may require a boost to assist the fullest healing response to assist homeostasis, metabolism and tissue under repair.
As related to Oriental / Chinese Medicine, when our circulation is impeded (described as Blocked Qi flow in Chinese Medicine) our body’s healing capacity, metabolism, and daily functioning are diminished.  By enhancing circulation, the infrared therapeutic treatment is helping to unblock the Qi and increase energy and improve body function.  Moxa, cupping, Infrared lamps and gua sha are related but different methods of achieving the same result in an Oriental Medicine Treatment.
Because of this special nature of the wavelength, when applied as a treatment, FAR Infrared heat therapy (i.e. bodywrap) activates a more thorough and extensive stimulation of local circulation which positively impacts enzymes, metabolism & immune function. The IR therapy helps the body get at toxins & cellulite trapped in the tissue through this increase in circulation and metabolism.   The bodywrap treatment I had received had “super charged” this process.
So how does all this calorie burning happen? 
The amount of sweat an infrared treatment can induce is 2-3 times that of a conventional sauna without creating that claustrophobic feeling, without drying out the sauna or causing undue stress on the cardiovascular system.  I know I can barely stay in a regular sauna for 10 minutes – I lasted easily 1 hour in this bodywrap treatment.
The best research on this type of infrared treatment has described “Its regular use may be as effective as a means of cardiovascular conditioning and burning of calories as regular exercise.” in the Journal of the American Medical Association 8/7/81.  In fact, NASA in the early 1980’s concluded that infrared therapy would be an ideal way to stimulate cardiovascular function during long space missions.
Someone not used to saunas can easily sweat 500 grams and consume 300 kcalories which is the equivalent of jogging for 30 minutes.  The bodywrap is a great in between workouts way to ease the stiffness and once becoming acclimated to the sauna  – burning up to 900+ calories are achieved each session.  But remember – Hydration is very important you need to constantly replenish the fluids to see results.
The benefits of Infrared Therapy are impressive.  Research from Sweden, Japan, Finland, China and Germany cite an impressive list of conditions that can be treated, including:

Arthritis & Joint Stiffness  
Acne   
Soft Tissue Injuries              
Menstrual Pain  
Eczema                  
Wound Healing
Neurodermatitis          
GI Problems  
Cardiovascular Circulation
Pain & Stiffness   
Weight Loss   
Endocrine, Immune and Autonomic Function

The FDA has approved the use of FAR infrared treatment for pain relief and more is learned each day.  I have more research to do but this was good enough for me.  I decided that I wanted to try it again and learn more. 
So now I offer it in my practice and medspa…  I hope that I’ve opened your eyes to something that might be new, different and helpful.  I’ve given you a place to start if it sounds interesting to you as well.  To learn more, check out my website www.orientalmedspa.com.  Or come experience it for yourself if you’re in the Los Angeles Area.  I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

People Who Hate Diets

Best Fast Weight Loss Diet

Everyone wants to find the best fast weight loss diet, but not many people can actually stay on the ones they do find.  Seems we can live with the blubber, bulges and fat better than we can live WITHOUT the junk food.  This doesn’t have to be the case.  Here’s a little information that will make you feel better about yourself, and the food you eat.

The problem with most diets promising quick weight loss is that they don’t provide much food.  What they do provide is practically tasteless, and who can live on that stuff for longer than a couple of days?  We would rather just be fat. Let me tell you a little about the best fast weight loss diet that exists – it’s absolutely incredible!

Read what I’m about to tell you and let it absorb into your mind for a bit.  You can lose weight faster than ever, and never count a calorie or carb.  You don’t even have to limit food portions!  AND, you don’t have to spend money on special diet foods or supplements.  Let that sink in, I’ll wait.

“How can this be?” you wonder.  This online diet plan teaches you step by step how to use real everyday foods to burn fat and speed your metabolism.  What happens then?  Calories burn up and you lose weight.  I told you this was the best fast weight loss diet ever, and I meant it.  You really do not have to suffer or eat boring, expensive foods to drop the pounds quickly.

You see, by eating certain foods that are good fat burning foods, you will train your body to burn fat constantly.  By combining these foods in a certain way and eating more often, you will incinerate fat and calories.  Thousands of people have lost 15 pounds or more in their first month on this plan.

3 Hour Dieting

Are You Ready to Lose 10 pounds in 14 days?

“3 Hour Diet  designed by Jorge Cruise”

I am sure that there are many reading along and chuckling under your breath that there is no way one can lose weight by eating every three hours however the science behind the theory is fairly common and Jorge Cruise is a mainstay in the fitness industry.

 

The long and short of this diet operates with the knowledge that if you do not feed your body accurately and regularly your body will go into what is called ‘starvation mode’. In this mode your body holds onto the fat rather than burning it up and consuming it for use. This means that your body is burning muscle rather than fat to take the energy it needs in order to function.

 

With the 3 Hour Diet you will not feel hungry all the time, in fact, there are many who claim they are constantly setting alarms and reminding themselves to eat. You will also learn the proper foods to eat in order to achieve the best possible results. The key is in learning which foods are right for you when dieting with this plan. You can purchase the book The 3-Hour Diet by Jorge Cruise and you can sign up online for more information about the weight plan itself and how to incorporate it into your busy routine.

 

I do recommend purchasing the book if you are seriously considering this as your method of dieting as there are many wonderful hints, tips, and tricks that are mentioned in the book to help you keep things going no matter how busy and hectic your lifestyle may be. One thing you need to keep in mind is that dieting with a program such as this is no small commitment. You need to stick to the timetable as much as possible in order to achieve the results this plan is famous for. If you aren’t willing to eat every three hours then this plan really may not be the plan for you.

 

Otherwise, if this is something you would be interested in, I highly recommend it. There are special considerations based on the amount you weight currently and the amount of weight you are hoping to lose. It is best if you are honest throughout the process in order to achieve the best possible and most immediate results. The claim is that you can lose as many as 10 pounds in the first two weeks and there are those that have claimed to do just that over and over again. This is a diet that even many celebrities endorse for quick and immediate results.

 

The good and the bad about 3 hour dieting is that it is effective but takes a very real commitment on the part of the one that is dieting. This diet is one that is taking the world by storm. If you haven’t heard of it before now, please take the time to check it out and see if this is something you could incorporate into your life. The results that have been reported as a result of this diet as nothing short of phenomenal. If there were one diet I would recommend above others for those who hate feeling hungry, it would be this diet.

Fad Diets

Fad diets are a sort of diet plan or aid that aims at losing weight, usually in a relatively short time. Fad diets attract a large number of people who suffer from weight problems and are helplessly looking to some way of arriving at a shapely physique. The problem with fad diets is that their fat-reducing effect is temporary and results in quick regain of weight. What is worse is that most of these diets are harmful to health.

Fad diets are not as new as they might seem at first. These date back to the mid 19^th century when an obese Londoner was prescribed such a diet on experimental basis. Now, after a century and a half, fad diets have become popular among people with weight problems. Teens and young adults especially flock to fad diets for answers to weight problems.

Fad diets are usually centered on a higher consumption of fats or proteins while stressing to go easy on or, in some cases, completely cut out carbohydrates. It is the low intake of carbohydrates that brings about rapid weight loss. In fact, this rapid loss is the loss of water that glycogen has stored. With loss of glycogen, the large amount of water stored in it is also lost and body weight drops. The fats are still there and as the fad diets are given up, the body regains its proportion of water lost. Weight is put back on as fast as it was lost.

Normally, carbohydrates remain the source of energy for work. With fad diets, the carbs are no longer there so the body starts using the stored fat, breaking it down. This may appear beneficial but in fact it is not. In the absence of carbs, fats cannot be completely oxidized and put to work. Hence, the body feels fatigued and weak. In addition, the ketone molecules resulting from the fat-breakdown accumulate in the blood and are excreted out via urine, causing dehydration.

Given the harmful health effects of fad diets, it is important for us, especially the weight-conscious people, to recognize and beware of these diet plans. Watch out for diets that:

• Promise quick weight loss
• Publicize before and after pictures
• Present weight-loss testimonials
• Tend to limit natural food choices
• Require a large sum of money

Fad diets may be popular, but they can greatly hurt your body. Be careful with any diet or exercise program and ask your doctor to be sure it is safe.

B1- Thiamine Place in Your Life

Because there are so many nutrients that your body needs daily, it may be easy to confuse them with one another. However, because they are so important in our bodies, you must take it upon yourself to learn about all of the nutrients you need on a daily basis. Vitamins are crucial to our bodies. They help with a variety of functions—everything from growth to organ function. Without the proper vitamins in our bodies, we would fall ill very quickly. Therefore, it is important to learn about the vitamins your need to consume every single day. One of these vitamins is thiamine, which is also known as vitamin B1. If you are not getting enough thiamine in your daily diet, it is important to talk to your doctor about taking vitamin supplements.

Thiamine has a number of functions in the body. Its main function is to help your cells convert carbohydrates, which are found in bread, pasta, and potatoes, into energy. If you cannot convert this into energy, your body will store it as fat instead. Other than that, thiamine also helps to keep the heat, muscles, and nerves functioning properly. Therefore, thiamin is extremely important in the body.

Of course, while thiamine is available in supplements, the best possible way to provide thiamin to the body is through food sources. You can find thiamine in lean meats, especially pork, as well as fish and soybean products. You can also get your daily helping of thiamine in fortified breads, cereals, pasta, dried beans, peas, and whole grains. Wheat germ is an especially good source of thiamine, which is why bodybuilders and athletes who are concerned with carbohydrate control sometimes drink wheat germ diet shakes. You also get small amounts of thiamine from dairy products, like milk and cheese, and from some kinds of fruits and vegetables.

Without enough thiamine in the body, a number of diseases develop, and so it is important to take vitamin supplements if you are worried about this. A slight deficiency causes weakness, fatigue, psychosis, and problems with your nervous system. Over time, this can develop into beriberi, a disease that is known in the United States to mainly affect alcoholics. High amounts of alcohol in the blood stream reduce the amount to thiamine that can be absorbed from food. If this problem is not treated, Korsakoff’s syndrome or Wernicke’s disease could develop. Both are mental problems that leave patients confused, among other things. Vitamin supplements to replace thiamin can therefore be very important.
