And it's FREE.
Hey folks,
Bold Statement, but it is TRUE. Seems we all have had times in our lives when we want to loose the extra pounds. From those truly heavy, to those who want to loose the 5 to 15 pounds they gained from the Holiday Food Free For Alls.
We have heard them all before. 1 Day Diet, 2 Day Slim Down, 3 or 4 Day Diet, 5 Day Miracle Diet, 6 Week Body Makeover, 7 Day Diet, 7 Step Diet, Accelerona-Carb Trapper Plus, Acutrim, Adiphen, Adkins Diet (Atkins Diet) The Hollywood Diet, Starvation, Water, ETC. For more, check out Diet Riot. They have a few more. {Smile}
How many have you been on? How many have failed? Weight loss in a bottle? Power added to food? Man-made chemicals that they tried on Rats. Do you even know what you are putting in your body? "Don't change anything. Eat whatever you want. Just take this pill." You say "GREAT." You take the pill, then eat TWO "Big Macs" Three Fries, and a Diet Soda. No offense intended to McDonald's. I had a Friend that WOULD do that. He weight 400 pounds. He would actually eat THREE Big Mac Value Meals, then drink a two litter Diet Coke. Yup. He couldn't figure out WHY he was not loosing weight.
Well, NOW they have a TEST. Yes. A TEST to tell you what diet will work the best for you. Don't worry. I will share with you the Best, Non Failing, Diet Ever. Works Every time, With Everyone, and it will actually SAVE you money. I will share that with you FOR FREE, in just a minute. But they NOW have a test. According to the AP - Gene test claims to show what diet works best By MARILYNN MARCHIONE, AP Medical Writer Marilynn Marchione, Ap Medical Writer – Thu Mar 4, 5:22 pm ET
Diet not working? Blame your genes. That's the pitch behind a new test that claims to show whether people will do better on a low-fat or a low-carb weight loss plan.
We're all hard-wired with DNA that controls how we burn and store calories from various foods, and the test claims to sort out this machinery. A study this week found that women on diets well-matched to their genes, as defined by the test, lost roughly five times more weight than those on mismatched diets.
"We were able to explain why some people were successful" and others were not, even though they ate the same way, said Mindy Dopler Nelson, a nutritional biologist at Stanford University who led the study but has no financial ties to the maker of the test.
Wonder how much the TEST costs you to take it? My Diet is FREE.
Some scientists find this hard to swallow. It's another test being peddled without enough research to show it really works, they say.
"I'm afraid this may be another attempt to lure the public into purchasing genetic tests that provide little value for those struggling with their weight," said Raymond Rodriguez, director of the National Center of Excellence for Nutritional Genomics at the University of California, Davis.
The research shows "nothing that should move the American public out to get their genome tested," said Dr. Robert Eckel, a former American Heart Association president and cardiologist at the University of Colorado-Denver.
But it sure has appeal.
Gene testing originally was aimed at finding risk for things like cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. Lately, genes have been linked to things you might not suspect, such as stuttering or compulsive leg-jiggling.
The latest trend is to connect genes to lifestyle counseling, determining what type of diet or exercise is best. That's what the maker of the new diet test hopes to do.
The company, Waltham, Mass.-based Interleukin Genetics Inc., looked at studies on hundreds of genes and chose three genes that show a pattern for metabolizing fats and carbohydrates, said its chief scientific officer, Ken Korman.
The company then hired Stanford researchers to do a validation study of its $149 test, using people who took part in diet research that was published in 2007. That study tested four diets — Atkins (ultra-low-carb), the Zone (low-carb), Ornish (very low-fat) or a low-fat diet following the federal Food Pyramid.
$149.00 for the test? Again, MINE is FREE.
About one-third of the original participants, 138 women, sent cheek swabs with their DNA to Interleukin, which tagged them as "low-carb appropriate" or "low-fat appropriate."
Looking back at the original study's results, researchers saw that women whose diets matched their genetic makeup lost more than 13 pounds over a year compared to less than 3 pounds for women on mismatched diets, Nelson reported at a heart association conference this week.
13 pounds in a YEAR? REALLY. You can loose 5 to 10 pounds in the first two weeks, with MY Plan.
Some scientists were unpersuaded. Sticking with a diet is more important than what diet you choose, as is not regaining weight, Eckel said.
"I have serious reservations with this study and studies like it," Rodriguez agreed. "The idea that genetic variants in these genes can predict the likelihood for weight loss in such a small population, particularly since the tendency for weight loss is probably more behavioral than genetic, is simply hard to believe."
However, one of the study participants, Jacqueline Gardner, 55, of Evergreen, Calif., does believe. She went from 200 pounds at the start of the study to 185, but was back to 200 pounds two years later.
"I now know why I gained it back," she said — the gene test showed she does not metabolize carbohydrates well. More recently, she has been on a high-protein diet and weighs 180.
"I wish I had had a DNA test 10 years ago," she said.
The researchers also tested themselves.
"It confirmed my suspicion," Nelson said of her result. "When I eat a lot of carbohydrates, I tend to put on weight."
Do we really need a gene test to tell us that?
{Laughing} That is actually the last line in this article. "Do we really need a gene test to tell us that?" No.
OK, so you NOW spend $149 of this test. It tells you that you are best suited for the Atkins Diet. Now, you go out and purchase THAT. Then you go buy all the food that you need to follow this Diet. Then, when you gain the weight back. "It's your fault. You did not stick to the Diet." Or maybe, "It's just your Genes. It's NOT really your fault."
Well, OK. I've teased you enough. For just $49.95, Plus $9.95 S&H, I will send you the ELMM Diet. The "Best, Non Failing, Diet Ever. Works Every Time, With Everyone." Oh, did I say I would give it to you for FREE? Gosh Dang it! I DID! Well, OK. fine. Here it is.
It's pretty complicated. It's a little difficult to understand. So you will need a piece of paper to write it down. OK. Step one. Ready? Eat less. I know, I know. It's scientifically PROVEN, that if you eat less, you take in less of the stuff that can add to your weight. OK. Step two. I know this is the difficult part. Ready? Move MORE. It is scientifically proven, that if you move, you BURN energy. By burning energy, your body has to produce more energy to burn. So if you are burning more of what you are taking in, you will loose weight. {Gasp}
I know I know. It's amazing. To good to be true? I know it sounds like that doesn't it. But it TRUE. Eat Less, Move More diet will change your life. It will also save you on the Less food that you need to purchase.
Now of course if you live on Ho,Hos, and FRIED food, you may want to look into a healthier diet. Add some fruits and veges. Bake instead of Fry. Cut out the stuff you KNOW is bad for you anyway. But if you Eat Less and Move More, it will even work on the Ho,Hos, Diet. But I would hope you would care to be a bit more healthy. {Smile}
