Achieving and maintaining an ideal body weight for life requires a combination of treatments. Behaviour modification, proper diet, caloric intake and exercise are key to long-term weight management. If you, like most people, need a "kick start" to put this process in motion, herbalhealth2ual's Mega Blocker is the answer. The ingredients in Mega Blocker have been formulated to help regulate carbohydrate, fat and glucose during active weight management. Mega Blocker further aids in blocking some of the fat you eat from being absorbed. This undigested fat is then eliminated in bowel movements.

Overview

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT WEIGHT LOSS

Risks of Obesity
Scientific studies clearly indicate that obesity is linked to increased sickness and death rates. Hypertension, elevated levels of cholesterol, heart disease, stroke, certain cancers, gall bladder disease, back pain, arthritis, abnormal pulmonary function and sleep apnea are physical problems intensified by obesity. In the United Sates alone obesity is implicated in 300,000 deaths annually, representing the second leading cause of premature death behind smoking. Obesity is a global epidemic effecting about 20 to 25% of American adults and 15 to 20% of Europeans. The health risks of being overweight may be prevented by achieving and maintaining proper body weight.

What is ideal body weight?
The most common measurement of obesity is based on the use of the Body Mass Index (BMI) scale. The BMI is the ratio of weight over height squared. The American Institute for Cancer Research's guidelines require a person to maintain a BMI of between 18.5 and 25. This is considered to be within ideal body weight range. A BMI between 25 to 27 presents a potential health risk and a BMI above 30 is considered to be a significant health risk.

Calories
How many calories you need depends on your age, sex, weight and activity level. To maintain your weight, you have to take in the same number of calories you burn. It takes about 3,000 calories a day for the average 165 pound man who is 19 to 24 years old to maintain his weight. From ages 25 through 49, the daily calorie requirement for maintenance drops to 2,700. An average 127 pound woman, 19 through 24 years old, will have to consume 2,100 calories daily for weight maintenance. From ages 25 through 49, it takes 1,900 calories per day. Your body weight will change when there is a difference between calories in and calories out.

How can I lose weight?
To lose weight you must eat properly, exercise more or both. Combining diet with exercise is a healthier, more balanced and more successful way of losing weight than by dieting alone. One pound of body weight is equal to 3,500 calories. Eating 500 fewer calories per day will result in a weight loss of 1 pound per week. Eating 250 fewer calories per day combined with a 250 calorie deficit from exercise will also result in a weight loss of 1 pound per week.

Selecting foods to lose weight
Keeping a food diary is an ideal way to track calories. As soon as you eat or drink, write it down. It may be helpful to use a small pocket diary. Seeing what you eat and drink will help you examine your eating patterns and food habits. To lose weight in a healthy manner, follow these guidelines:

Drink at least six to ten 8 ounce glasses of water each day. Water contains no calories, it can serve as an appetite suppressant and helps the body metabolize stored fat. It may very well be one of the most significant factors in losing weight.

Choose the following foods for losing weight and maintaining healthy eating habits for life:

Unlimited amounts of vegetables and salads
Lean meats, poultry, fish and salad dressing containing little or no oil
Limited amounts of low fat or skim milk, cheeses and yogurts
Legumes (lentils, peas and beans)
Unrefined carbohydrates (whole wheat bread, whole grain cereals without sugar)
Raw fruits

Limit how much you eat of the following:
Refined carbohydrates (sugar) and foods containing sugar
Refined grain products such as white rice and white flour

Avoid:
Saturated fats such as butter, margarine, and fat on meats, and other foods that contain fats, such as pastries, cakes, and cheese.
Fried foods.
Processed meats.
Excessive amount of alcoholic beverages.

For a balanced diet be sure to choose a variety of foods from the basic food groups:
Dairy
Meat and other protein
Vegetables
Fruit
Bread and cereal

Exercise
If you want to reduce your body fat, focus on increasing the amount of exercise you get rather than just decreasing your food intake. Leading experts now recommend that people who want to lose weight start by increasing their physical activity. Recommendations for exercise emphasize engaging in activities that you enjoy and incorporating them for a minimum of 30 minutes per day, as many days per week as possible. The 30 minutes can be split into 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Many health problems such as high blood pressure, strokes, obesity, injuries and stress can be avoided by leading a more active lifestyle. Regular exercise will help you look and feel better. To get the most out of exercise, wear proper clothing, use safe equipment, drink plenty of water before, during and after you exercise and eat well-balanced meals. It is never too late to begin an exercise program. If you are over 35 or have medical problems, check with your doctor first. Together you can plan a program suited to your needs.

Ingredients Info

Chromium is pivotal in sugar metabolism. More than 90 percent of Americans are deficient in this crucial trace mineral. When your body exhibits low levels of Chromium, craving for sugar increases and so do the numbers on your bathroom scale!

According to Dr. Robert Atkins, not only does chromium reduce your cravings for sugar, it also increases your total lean body mass, which also speeds up your metabolism. It helps prevent the loss of lean muscle mass if you intentionally slash your caloric intake and revs up your calorie-burning results from exercising.

Refined foods and loss of topsoil through poor agricultural practices reduces the level of chromium. Low chromium levels can increase blood sugar and raise triglyceride (a type of fat) and cholesterol levels. Chromium supplementation may help reduce body fat and increase muscle tissue.

Chromium enables insulin to bind to receptors, so that glucose can enter the cell to be metabolized. It controls appetite, cravings for food and the desire for sweets.

Chitosan is a polysaccharide derived from chitin found in shells of shrimp and other shellfish. The positively charged molecule is used in the U.S. as a dietary supplement and is marketed for its ability to increase HDL cholesterol, enhance immune systems and increase fat elimination from the digestive tract. It is capable of absorbing approximately 10 to 12 times its weight in fat. Chitin is not selective and it will also absorb fat-soluble vitamins. herbalhealth2u's Advanced Green Multi Vitamin Mineral Formula is excellent when used in conjunction with Mega Blocker, as supplementation with fat-soluble vitamins is necessary to maintain healthy body chemistry.

Phaseous Vulgaris is an extract of the Northern White Kidney Bean. In clinical studies it has been shown to clearly inhibit the production and activity of alpha amylase, the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of starch into sugar. Human studies show that Phaseous Vulgaris can effectively inhibit intestinal amylase activity, thereby preventing dietary starch digestion and the corresponding after-meal rise in insulin concentration. Phaseous Vulgaris attaches to the carbohydrate molecule at precisely the point at which alpha-amylase normally would split the compound to yield dextrins. The complex carbohydrate is not broken down into absorbable sugars and simply passes out of the body undigested.
