Say "NO" to fad diets that do not promote exercise. Both
cardio-respiratory and muscular systems need exercise – to
maintain optimum health and a lean body. While exercising, the heart rate
increases and the body must expend calories. The body uses stored fat for
energy. This reduces your total body fat. More importantly,
resistance exercise increases your lean muscle tissue. Having
greater amounts of this lean muscle tissue increases your body's metabolic
rate. More calories are expended while the body is at rest or asleep.
Exercising regularly will increase your metabolic rate, helping you to maintain
a lean body. Back to Top

Science tells us that the ONLY way to achieve FAT LOSS is through a daily
"CALORIC DEFICIT". This is governed by the Law of Thermodynamics. For fat loss,
the body must expend more calories than it consumes. Along with a daily caloric
deficit, it is necessary to consume a variety of nutrients in order to maintain
good health.

Say "NO" to fad diets that allow the body to lose weight at the expense
of your health. These diets can cause you to lose important lean muscle tissue
instead of unwanted fat. If you are not properly nourished, the body can use
muscle tissue for energy. In most cases, this causes weight rebound. The
metabolism slows from the loss of lean muscle tissue. As the body will now
expend even fewer calories, this can result in further weight gain. Some fad
diets even lead to serious health problems. For example, high protein diets can
lead to kidney damage and osteoporosis, depleting the body of calcium. High
protein diets have also been known to cause a fluid imbalance and slow the
metabolism. Back to Top
