What Makes TLS® CORE Fat & Carb Inhibitor Unique?

Do you feel like you’re always hungry and never full? Have you tried other products on the market but still struggle with your weight? If so, you may be dealing with leptin sensitivity.

Leptin is the hormone that, in essence, tells our brain when to eat, how much to eat and – most importantly – when to stop eating. Leptin is secreted by fat; the more fat, the more leptin. However, the people who could benefit most from leptin’s effects are those who need it most.
While obese people produce much higher levels of leptin than thin and normal-weight individuals, they are somehow resistant to its effects. For example, when serial dieters – those who are continually losing and gaining weight – lose fat through diet and exercise, the brain thinks it is starving and tells the body to hold on to its fat stores. This is when the weight usually roars back. That’s because the body will fight harder against losing fat than it will against gaining fat. That's why most people find it a whole lot easier to get fat than they do to get lean. As someone gains weight, the body tries to maintain the status quo, but the baseline has moved higher. After the body adjusts to a heavier, new status quo, it's hard to slim down again.
TLS CORE Fat & Carb Inhibitor was created to deal specifically with the weight management issues related to leptin sensitivity. TLS CORE Fat & Carb Inhibitor, one of the few products on the market to deal with this issue, works in three specific ways. First, it may help with appetite suppression with the help of LeptiCore®, a clinically-proven, patent-pending, all-natural ingredient designed specifically to promote healthy weight management.

Next, TLS CORE Fat & Carb Inhibitor inhibits the amount of starchy carbohydrates being absorbed by the body. These carbohydrates can elevate blood sugar levels, increasing insulin. This can cause the body to store additional fat, triggering leptin, causing you to eat and over-consume. Finally, TLS CORE Fat & Carb Inhibitor helps to stop the body from converting excess carbohydrates into fat.

By supporting a normal response to leptin, helping to inhibit the body’s absorption of carbohydrates, you can finally get the support you need to keep off the weight. TLS CORE Fat & Carb Inhibitor, in combination with the TLS Weight Loss Solution, will help you lose weight and feel great!

Brain Friendly Diet.

By Patrick Holford, Founder of the Institute of Optimum Nutrition and the Brain Bio-Center

The myth is the older you get, the poorer your mental agility becomes. But I do believe that you can keep a sharp mind and a keen intellect at any age with the right combination of nature’s ‘smart nutrients’.

Dr Rakesh Chandra from the Memorial University of Newfoundland in Canada decided to test whether supplementation with vitamins and trace elements in modest amounts could improve memory and mental performance in healthy, elderly subjects. He gave 96 such men and women over the age of 65 either a daily supplement or a placebo for 12 months. Those taking the supplements showed substantial improvement in short-term memory, concentration and problem-solving skills.

Now that’s from just taking a good multivitamin. I’ve since pinpointed some key nutritional factors that I believe give you the edge on focus and concentration, memory and mental agility. I call these ‘smart nutrients’ and they include nutrients such as DMAE and phospholipids, which may directly support brain function. I personally take these nutrients every day and I’m convinced that they’re the best way to sharpen your mind and protect yourself against memory decline.

Brain Friendly Diet

The starting point for tuning up your brain is to follow an optimum nutrition diet and take daily
supplements. Here are the ten golden rules to follow to make sure your diet is maximizing your mental health.

1. Eat wholefoods – wholegrains, lentils, beans, nuts, seeds, fresh fruit and vegetables – and avoid refined, white and overcooked foods.

2. Avoid any form of sugar – in biscuits, cakes, confectionery and also foods with added sugar in the forms of syrups, dextrose and maltose.

3. Eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables daily – choose dark green, leafy and root vegetables such as watercress, carrots, sweet potatoes, broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts, spinach, green beans or peppers, all raw or lightly cooked. Choose fresh fruit such as apples, pears, berries, plums, melon or citrus fruit. Have bananas, grapes and potatoes in moderation only (they contain a lot of natural sugar). Dilute fruit juices and only eat dried fruits infrequently in small quantities, preferably soaked.

4. Eat four or more servings of wholegrains daily – such as rice, millet, rye, oats, wholewheat, corn or quinoa as cereal, breads and pasta.

5. Combine protein foods with carbohydrate foods by eating wholegrain cereals and fruit with raw, unsalted nuts or seeds, and ensuring you eat starchy foods (potatoes, bread, pasta or rice) with protein-rich fish, lentils, beans, eggs or tofu. If eating animal protein, choose lean, white meat or preferably fish, organic whenever possible.

6. Eat eggs – preferably free-range, organic and high in omega-3s. Aim for about 3-5 a week.

7. If eating animal protein, choose cold-water carnivorous fish - A serving of herring, mackerel, salmon or trout two or three times a week provides a good source of omega-3 fats and protein.

8. Eat raw, unsalted seeds and nuts. The best seeds are flax (or linseed), hemp, pumpkin, sunflower and sesame. You get more goodness out of them by grinding them first and sprinkling on cereal, soups and salads.

9. Use cold-pressed seed oils. Choose an oil blend containing flaxseed oil or hemp oil for salad dressings and cold uses, such as drizzling on vegetables instead of butter. Don’t cook with these oils as their fats are easily damaged by heat.

10. Minimize your intake of fried food, processed food and saturated fat from meat and dairy to prevent damage to brain fats.

The good news is that mental decline is not inevitable and you can boost your memory and mental alertness at any age. Research shows clearly that healthy, well-nourished and well-educated people show no signs of declining mental function with age. What’s more, while it is true that brain cells die with age, you can also build new brain cells at any age. How? By feeding your brain, both with the right nutrients and the right information.

Are Prescription Drugs Killing You?

Are the peer reviewed medical journals correct? What does Bill Maher have to say? Who can you trust?

Most of us don't know how many people are actually dying at the hand of the very system that is supposed to save us. What is even more astonishing is that the information about these travesties is completely hidden and not talked about.


Highlighted in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and reverberated in Food Matters, is one of the best articles documenting the tragedy of the conventional medical paradigm.


The author is Dr. Barbara Starfield of the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health and she describes how the US health care system may be contributing to our poor health.
These are deaths per year:
- 12,000 - unnecessary surgery
- 7,000 - medication errors in hospitals
- 20,000 - other errors in hospitals
- 80,000 - infections in hospitals
- 106,000 - non-error, negative effects of drugs


These total to 225,000 deaths per year from modern medicine!
Add to this the number of deaths from Heart Disease and Cancer each year and the truth is out.
- 652,486 Heart disease
- 553,888 Cancer
- 225,000 Modern Medicine


Modern Medicine is now the third leading cause of death in America!
What we are experiencing now is a crisis of health care and looking to the economics of the industry is not going to solve anything. The fact of the matter is that we need a whole new paradigm, we need to be looking at all the ways we can boost health through nutritional therapy and other alternative approaches which are less toxic, less invasive, more effective, more safer and significantly cheaper. The 40 or 50 million people who are without health care insurance in America right now is getting some attention, as it rightly should. However is the answer giving them access to a system that doesn't really work. Or do they need education rather than medication?


Every person reading this right now realizes that at some level they wish to help their families lives, their children's lives and the life of the planet. And if this is our decision we need to be looking at our food choices very closely and this is exactly what the new film Food Matters. Food Matters and if you've already seen the film then please tell your family and friends. There are thousands, if not millions of people suffering unecessarily each and every day because of not being exposed to this lifesaving information. Be the first to let them know. delves into. If you're after an answer to a significant health challenge or wish to protect yourself and your family from becoming customers of the ‘sickness industry' then check out
In good health.

Do You Eat Lunch Meat?

I do NOT eat any sort of lunch meat. With that being said I do know that many people enjoy a sandwich with a couple of slices of turkey and cheese, it is a cheap and quick-to-prepare brown-bag lunch, but the health warnings are clear: processed meats have been linked to increased risk of cancers, diabetes, and heart disease. As the Globe and Mail reported, the government is considering new labelling for deli meats that would prevent them from being labelled as "natural" if they contain cultured celery extract, a preserving agent that contains nitrates and nitrites.

Should we avoid processed and deli meats altogether, or are there any deli meats that are "safe" to eat?

Here is a little Q & A session on lunch meat. You then can decide if lunch meat is right for you.

Q: Which is healthier: chicken, ham, turkey, bologna, or roast beef? Is there a huge nutritional difference between each?

A: Bologna is basically cooked sausage made of cured beef, pork or a mixture of the two with added spices, salt, chemicals and preservatives -- avoid! Ultimately, there isn't much difference between any of these factory-farmed processed meats. The difference nutritionally is whether it's certified organic or factory-farmed meat. Animals that are raised on a pasture tend to have a higher ratio of omega-3 fatty acids, and are fed food free of pesticides.

Q: Which is the healthiest type: smoked, cured, salted, oven-roasted, or straight-cooked?

A: The processing of the deli meat doesn't really matter because they all contain similar harmful ingredients, such as nitrates, to preserve the meat.

Q: What ingredients do you think we should be avoiding?

A: Make sure your food always contains ingredients that you know, and can pronounce! Here is a list of ingredients you should avoid:

• Sodium nitrate/sodium nitrite: Increased risk of cancers, diabetes and heart disease
• BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole): Possible carcinogen
• BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene): Possible carcinogen
• Smoked/naturally smoked/smoke flavour: Could contain unlisted toxic chemicals.
• Corn syrup: Glucose-heavy, and too much sugar can lead to diabetes, heart disease and other health issues
• Aspartame: Possible health risks including delayed mental development and seizures

Also, be conscious of excess sodium. For example, Maple Leaf Natural Selections turkey has 570 mg sodium per serving, which is nearly half of our daily recommended intake (1000 to 1500 mg)! And keep in mind that food manufacturers are not required to list all the ingredients if they fall under spices and seasonings -- something to keep in mind when you're eyeballing the Cajun chicken or the honey-smoked ham. If you have common food allergies, check for wheat, soy, or milk products, which are sometimes added to deli meats. If you have digestive problems, it's best to avoid carrageenan, which is a common ingredient.

Q: There are some brands that market their product as "preservative-free", but the preservatives are just disguised under a different name. What so-called "natural ingredients" should we be on the look out for?

A: Cultured celery extract seems to be the most popular choice for the "natural" selections of deli meats. However, it still contains the same amount of potentially carcinogenic nitrates and, in some cases, more than brands that aren't listed as "natural."

Q: When ordering from the deli-counter vs. buying pre-packed brands (where the list of ingredients is shown), which types of meat should we ask for?

A: Look for roast beef or chicken at the deli counter, where you can actually see that they are cutting the meat from the animal. Avoid the pre-packed stuff if you aren't certain where it comes from, and if you don't see the ingredients listed at the deli counter, make sure to ask the staff.

Eating processed meats should really be kept at a minimum -- on rare, special occasions. Instead of buying luncheon meat, try roasting a chicken on the weekend and use the sliced chicken instead. Or if you're short on time, you can buy an already roasted chicken from the supermarket, then slice and sandwich.

Memory, Stress and Improve cognition. Yes Take These....

(NaturalNews) Researchers from the Australian National University have shown that essential B vitamins combat stress that results in a loss of memory and normal thought patterns that cause abnormal brain aging. Published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, scientists found that long-term supplementation of daily folic acid and vitamin B-12 promotes improvement in cognitive functioning after a period of two years, particularly in immediate and delayed memory performance. B vitamins are crucial for nerve transmission and are needed in higher amounts as your stress level increases. Health-minded adults will want to ensure that they obtain an optimal daily dose of these important vitamins from diet or supplemental sources.

The study leader, Dr. Janine Walker and her team conducted a two year intervention among elderly participants confined in a community-dwelling environment. All participants exhibited symptoms of depression and were under moderate stress due to environmental and lifestyle conditions. The study was designed to determine if nutritional intervention could prevent cognitive decline under randomized and controlled conditions.

Folic acid and vitamin B-12 fight brain stress and inflammation in the elderly

Researchers supplemented one group of study volunteers with an oral dosage of 400 micrograms of folic acid and 100 micrograms of vitamin B-12 daily. This group was compared against a control set of participants that received a placebo. The results were measured at twelve- and twenty-four month intervals using the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status Standardized Test and the Brief Test of Adult Cognition by Telephone (to determine processing speed). An Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly was administered at two years to provide a final analysis of cognitive function.

The study authors found that the group receiving the supplemental B-vitamins experienced significantly better memory function when compared to the control subjects. The research team determined that stress results in inflammation to neuron structures in the brain and inhibits electrical and chemical transmissions between nerves that are required to form new memories and maintain a healthy degree of cognitive function. The body uses B-vitamins, especially folic acid and vitamin B-12, to fight brain inflammation and ensure proper brain communications.

After the two-year study period, Dr. Walker concluded "Long-term supplementation of daily oral 400 mcg folic acid and 100 mcg vitamin B-12 promotes improvement in cognitive functioning after 24 months, particularly in immediate and delayed memory performance." The entire family of B-vitamins has been shown to lower the impact of brain stress and inflammation. Health-conscious adults will want to combine a daily supply of B-vitamins with the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA to dramatically lower the risk of memory loss and cognitive decline.

Exercise For Health

Nowadays most people know the benefits of exercise and the benefits of weight training for heart health, weight loss and to build muscle.

But the benefits of exercise also extend to healthy skin, a better sex life and much more.

These exercise benefits include building more brain cells and helping you to avoid diabetes, cancer and making the wrong kind of body fat.

And on top of it all, a good mood is one of the major exercise benefits

No matter how well you eat, you can't be truly healthy without the benefits of exercise. Food doesn't actually turn into nutrition until it’s assimilated into your cells and exercise is a very important part of that process.

The Top 12 Weight Training and Exercise Benefits

It's cheap and easy to achieve the benefits of exercise and the benefits of weight training. And even a daily walk can make a huge difference.

So here are the dynamic dozen exercise benefits for you:

1. Helps you to lose weight and stay there. Exercise burns calories - it's that simple. But you also speed up metabolism for as long as 12 hours. And studies show regular exercise and weight training can help you lose weight fast and safe, lose more easily and keep it off permanently.

2. Improves your appearance and sex life. By building collagen, exercise provides glowing skin with fewer visible wrinkles. And increased confidence, muscle and fitness lead to better sex.

3. Lowers blood pressure and cholesterol. Exercise increases good HDL cholesterol, decreases bad LDL cholesterol, lowers triglycerides and blood pressure and reduces the buildup of plaque in your arteries.

4. Builds brain cells and improves the mind. Physical activity builds new brain cells. And researchers have found that people who exercise regularly have improved memory, better decision-making and problem-solving skills, with less risk of dementia – like Alzheimer's.

5. Decreases your risk of chronic diseases. Regular exercise has been shown to reduce your chances of developing osteoporosis, heart disease, cancer, diabetes and many other health conditions.

6. Supports muscle, joints and bone density. Benefits of weight training and other forms of weight-bearing exercise include improved bone density, joint strength and flexibility. Plus exercise helps you build muscle.

7. Lowers your risk for developing cancer. Exercise has been shown to help protect against developing colon cancer by 30–50%, and certain other cancers, such as breast, prostate, uterus and lung cancer.

8. Improves digestion and use of nutrition. While stress interferes with digestion, physical activity improves digestion and the absorption of nutrients from food. It also promotes healthy elimination of toxins through sweat glands and prevention of constipation.

9. Strengthens your lung and heart health. Your heart and lungs become more efficient with regular exercise, so you can breathe easier and have more energy to do the things you really enjoy in life.

10. Decreases your risk for type 2 diabetes. Studies show that exercise improves blood sugar metabolism and insulin sensitivity, reducing your risk for diabetes, diabetes severity and diabetes complications.

11. Increases happiness and reduces stress. Regular exercise causes the release of endorphins (happiness hormones), so it's the perfect natural antidepressant. It improves sleep, decreases stress, anxiety and depression and boosts your mood to help you feel good.

12. Improves your social life and fun factor. If you're moving, it counts – so choose activities you can enjoy. And since a good social life is important to your health, make exercise a social event whenever possible.

All these exercise benefits can be yours for just thirty minutes a day!

And the cost, to gain great health and build muscle with the benefits of exercise and benefits of weight training, is very little. Yet it adds up to a longer, happier, healthier life, with much less pain and suffering.

Detox for the New Year!

New years resolutions can be challenging at times so why not simply start by adding more good things into your diet as opposed to taking things out. Add these 4 simple detox tips to your day and you'll be sure to feel great in no time. Here's to a healthy and happy 2012!

1. Drink More Water

Too often we misinterpret thirst for hunger. Our signal for thirst may cause us to eat as we mistake it for hunger pains. Reach for water first and make sure you are well hydrated before eating any meal throughout the day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner included.
Where possible make sure to drink your water at least 30 minutes before eating as this will allow time for the water to properly penetrate the cells of your body and hydrate your stomach lining in preparation for proper digestion. I like to add lemon juice and apple cider vinegar to my water or green it up with barley grass powder, wheatgrass powder, spirulina or chlorella. Yum!

2. Add A Green Juice To Your Day

Green juices are an amazing way to add life giving and detoxifying plant chlorophyll to your bloodstream. As Jason Vale says in the upcoming new 'Food Matters' film, "juicing is the ultimate fast food, it is a 15 minute nutrient express to health". Some of my favorite and simple green juice recipes include:

 
Green Juice Recipe Ideas:

- Celery, lemon and pear (or apple)
- Celery, cucumber, lemon (leave the skin on) and pear (or apple)
- Celery, cucumber, kale, lemon and pear (or apple)
- Celery, cucumber, lemon, parsley and pear (or apple)

I also like to stir whatever green powders I have laying around the house into my juices to green them up even more! Again try barley grass, wheatgrass, spirulina or chlorella powders.

3. Add More Parsley and Cilantro (Corriander) To Your Diet

Parsley and cilantro (corriander) are very powerful natural green plant foods for detoxing heavy metals out of your body. Add these amazing herbs to juices, salads, soups and meals. Mike Adams from Natural News talks more about this also in the new upcoming 'Food Matters' film.


Heavy Metal Detox Pesto Recipe:

• 4 cloves garlic
• 1/3 cup Brazil nuts (selenium source) or macadamia nuts
• 1/3 cup sunflower seeds (cysteine source)
• 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds (zinc, magnesium sources)
• 1 cup fresh cilantro (corriander)
• 1 cup parsley
• 2/3 cup cold pressed olive oil
• 4 tablespoons lemon juice (Vitamin C source)
• Big pinch of sea salt and or dulse flakes to flavor

Soak the seeds and nuts over night to release the enzyme exhibitors. Process the parsley, cilantro (corriander) and olive oil in a blender until chopped. Add the garlic, nuts, and seeds, salt / dulse and lemon juice and mix until the mixture is finely blended into a paste. Store in dark glass jars if possible. It freezes well also if needs be. Enjoy!

4. Breathe Deep Into Your Abdomen

Deep breathing, where you fill your belly and expand your diaphragm downwards, is one of the most powerful exercise you can do to activate your lymph system which helps to detoxify your body. Think of your lymph system as your own personal garbage removal system (which most of us will need in full steam after the holiday season). Practise 10 deep slow breaths counting 4 seconds in, 8 seconds hold and 8 seconds out. You can do this exercize watching the TV, walking the dog, during meditation or whilst practising yoga.

According to the 'Tao of Breathing' up to 70% of our body’s waste products are eliminated via our lungs and the rest through the urine, skin and feces. When the efficiency of our lungs is reduced due to poor breathing less oxygen is available to our cells, it slows down the flow of blood which carries wastes from the kidneys and lungs. Our lymphatic system which fights off viral and bacterial invaders is weakened along with a slower digestive process.

Breathe long slow and deep in a mindful state as often as possible.

Here's to a healthy, happy and wonderfully abundant 2012!

15 Foods That Don't Need To Be Organic

The Environmental Working Group's (EWG) Shoppers Guide to Pesticides discusses fruits and vegetables that are the most and least likely to contain pesticide residue. It is designed to help you know when to choose organically grown produce, and when conventionally grown produce is an acceptable alternative.

Below is the EWG's "Clean 15" - produce that, when grown conventionally, poses the least risk of exposure to pesticides. While I always recommend eating organic fruits and vegetables, they may be too expensive for those on tight budgets or simply not available. However, according to the EWG, eating five servings a day from this "Clean 15" list reduces your exposure to pesticides by almost 90 percent compared to five servings daily from the "Dirty Dozen."

I encourage everyone to enjoy these fruits and vegetables in organic or conventionally grown form:

• Onions
• Sweet corn
• Pineapples
• Avocado
• Asparagus
• Sweet peas
• Mangoes
• Eggplant
• Cantaloupe (domestic)
• Kiwi
• Cabbage
• Watermelon
• Sweet potatoes
• Grapefruit
• Mushrooms

The Perfect Weight Loss Program

We all know the "secret" of successful weight loss: Eat high quality low glycemic food and exercise. It's not always easy, but by adopting healthy eating habits and a regular exercise routine, you are sure to lose weight without depriving yourself of nourishing, satisfying food. And if you continue those good habits after you reach your goal, you will have an excellent chance of maintaining your desired weight. The first step to achieving a healthier, energetic, vibrant and thinner new you, is to make the decision to make it happen. after you decide to make the change, the plan below will make it a reality for you! Here is the perfect diet to reach your weight loss goals:

1.  Detox. A detox normally lasts seven to ten days. A detox gently purges the body of impurities, relieves the body's dependence on high fat or sugary foods. It also enhances the body's response to carbohydrates. It will help accelerate your weight management goals and will jump start your weight loss efforts if you hit a plateau. The two types I use for clients is the NutriClean or a natural detox. The natural detox is a little more effective but the NutriClean is a little easier to do.
   
2. Avoid artificial sweeteners and synthetic fat substitutes. They are unhealthy and don't help you develop good eating habits. You also will not lose weight.
3. Eat Low glycemic foods. Dr David Jenkins created the GI ranking system back in 1981 to help manage blood sugar levels in diabetes patients. What they discovered was that the low GI system not only controlled blood sugar levels but all his patients were also losing weight. To find out more about the Glycemic index click HERE. 
4.  Exercise. The right type of exercise is important. The most effective exercise program contains a combination of aerobic, strength and flexibility training. Remember to always check with your physician when starting a new program.
5. Stress reduction. Chronic stress causes your system to have an abundance of stress hormones, and your system will never have a chance to go back to normal. When cortisol is chronically elevated this way, the fat cells do not respond normally.
6. Water. Pure, filtered water. Staying well hydrated is essential to optimal health and overall functioning. Drinking 50-60 percent of your weight in ounces will help flush out nasty toxins and will also keep you feeling full. Drink as much as you want throughout the day, and in the warmer months, be sure to drink water before and after exercising to avoid dehydration.
7.  Journal. It has been proven that people who journal lose more fat and pounds than people who don't. It holds you accountable to what and when you eat. It also keeps you on track to succeed!
8. New Life Skills. You may have to learn some new skills to be successful. You don't know what you don't know. Some people have been told that cutting calories or whole food groups, and or replacing food with drinking meal replacement shakes is how to lose weight. This couldn't be further from the truth. Based on your old thinking it maybe time to look at news to reach your weight goals. If your not sure where to start maybe it's time to work with a professional to help you reach your goals. Which brings me to #9
9. Work with a weight loss coach. Weight loss coaches are trained to find what type of program will work for you. A weight loss coach can help you with food choices and suggest new ways of thinking. Weight loss coaches will work with you one on one or in a group setting. Now with  technology it can also be done online! Time saving and affordable!
   
10. Accelerators. Accelerators are just what the name implies. They are designed to help accelerate weight loss. They are not a "MAGIC" pill or potion you take to lose weight. Choose one that has clinical studies. Make sure they are of the highest quality ingredients. Be careful when choosing generic store brands as most on the market do not produce results.
