Questions and answers with Isabel a Holistic Nutritionalist

Diet Solution Program Q & A
About Isabel…
Q: Isabel, tell us a little a bit about yourself, and what you do.
A: I am a NJ based Holistic Nutritionist and Exercise Specialist. I have a private practice in NJ and when I’m not seeing clients in my office I am writing books, newsletters, articles or speaking on the principles of healthy nutrition for weight loss and disease prevention. Basically, doing my best to communicate what true health is to the world.
Q: Isabel, I just finished your ebook, The Diet Solution, and get the sense of an interesting and diverse background. Can you tell a bit about yourself?
A: The Diet Solution Program is really a culmination of my search for answers to my own weight loss and health problems. I can remember going on my first “diet” in the 7th grade. You name the diet and I tried it. Not until I found the true answers to weight loss and how to keep it off was I able to finally reach my own ideal weight and level of health that I enjoy today.
It was also my mother’s and my grandmother’s struggle with obesity and type 2 Diabetes that led me to research how blood sugar affects our ability to lose and gain fat. As I studied Diabetes more and more, I found that the same principles that could be used to control a diabetic’s blood sugar were the same principles that all people needed to use to lose fat and keep it off. Once I figured this out, I was almost amazed at how easy the answer was the whole time and couldn’t believe all of the past unhealthy plans I had attempted with no success.
Q: How did you happen to get into the Nutrition industry? What were the deciding factors?
A: As I continued to work on my own health and weight struggles, I became fascinated by the human body. I was truly amazed by the discoveries I had made in regards to weight loss and blood sugar control and could not believe that this information wasn’t main stream. Even worse, I could not believe that doctors and food companies were actually recommending the exact opposite of the information that I had discovered to be the only way to lose weight. This led me to be as passionate as I am now about communicating this exact information to the world.
Q: What was your inspiration for The Diet Solution? Did you follow some other diet or fitness guru’s before your own ideas developed?
A: Writing the Diet Solution Program was inspired by seeing hundreds of clients in my private nutrition practice in New Jersey. All of the nutrition principles that I would teach my clients was a combination of several books, classes and seminars that I had read or attended and grabbed the best principles taught in each. I knew there had to be a way to put all of this great information together in an easy to read, easy to follow program. Don’t get me wrong. Actually putting the information together and laying it out in a way that would be easy to understand by all people was not an easy chore. But once it was complete, it really was a culmination of 15 years of research and study.
Q: Getting into the diet and nutrition industry can have a ton of positive benefits – has there been a downside at all?
A: No, I wouldn’t call it a downside. But I will say that I do encounter a lot of resistance to my not very mainstream ideas. I tell people “If you have been following the same nutrition and diet principles with no results, isn’t it time to take a new approach?” When people see the kind of results my clients get, they realize that a new approach may be the only way they will successfully lose weight.
I battled my own weight since I was a teenager and through my own mistakes and struggles, I found the only way to really lose weight and keep it off was through a natural foods approach. And by no means does that mean a tasteless, bland food approach. I mean the stuff good ol’ Mother Nature provided us with in their delicious forms.

About The Diet Solution Program…
Q: Do people really need another “diet program?” How is your nutrition program different and who would be a perfect candidate for your nutrition program?
A: My nutrition program is the best way and the only way most people should be eating. It is not some crazy fad diet, nor is it some extreme crash diet. It is how everyone should be eating on a daily basis, as mother-nature intended. What most people don’t realize is, if we ate they way our ancestors ate centuries ago, we would all be lean and healthy. It is the over-commercialized and toxic processed foods in our countries that are keeping everyone so overweight and unhealthy. Does it really seem healthy to sign up for a diet program that makes you buy their food and only their food? Or to nourish your body with fake powders and bars? That’s really not how are bodies were designed.
Q: It looks like the ebook is getting great reviews – what has been the response so far?
A: The response has been incredibly positive. People have been emailing me and telling me what an eye opening experience it has been for them. They also just couldn’t believe how simple weight loss could really be with all the right tools and information on hand. After the first 2 weeks, people tell me they have lost weight that they have been struggling with for years. I get an overwhelming amount of ‘thank you’ notes in my email inbox everyday.
Q: What is the biggest benefit of following your nutrition program and does it come with meal recipes and meal plans?
A: The biggest benefit of my nutrition program is that it is made up of all real food. It also recommends that you eat good healthy portions of food and that you should NEVER be hungry. If you are walking around hungry, you are doing something wrong. You are most likely starving your body of the nutrients and whole foods it needs.
I have done all the hard work for you. I have put together all of the healthy principles into easy to follow meal plans, no matter what your starting point is. I have also included 61 of my favorite meal recipes so that you can always keep your nutrition program delicious.
Q: Why did you decide to write The Diet Solution Program when there is more than enough nutrition info out there?
A: I decided to write the Diet Solution for that exact reason. People are being bombarded with nutrition information and either one of two things is happening: They are either being grossly misinformed with information that is the complete opposite of what is the truth or they are so overwhelmed with all of the good information and they just don’t know where to start. What I did with The Diet Solution was take all of the BEST information out on the market today and compiled it in an easy to understand, easy to read and easy to implement program. Basically, took the best of the best and saved my readers hundreds of hours and hundreds of dollars in research and trial and error.
Q: What is your advice for someone just starting your Diet Solution program? Can anyone do this?
A: Absolutely anyone can follow and succeed on The Diet Solution Program. My mother started following the program at 63 years old after a kidney transplant. In 6 months, she lost 40 lbs and has never been healthier or felt better in her life. Not only has she lost a significant amount of weight, but she has greatly reduced the number of medications she was previously taking. If she can do it, anyone can do it!
I would start by incorporating one principle at a time. People get very overwhelmed and think they need to completely overhaul their life all at once, but this is not true. My own nutrition changes took almost 3 years. Now you may incorporate these principles sooner than I did, but remember that getting to your health goals at a pace that is do-able for you is much better than not doing anything at all.
Q: How does “meal planning” fit into the weight loss equation?
A: Meal planning is extremely important especially when you first change your current eating habits. If you find out that you feel best on a meal plan that contains protein in each meal, you must plan accordingly. This often intimidates people and makes them feel like “it is too much work”. But the whole thing really does become second nature. You finally know what you need each day to feel good and lose weight and you just naturally gravitate towards those foods. To make it a much simpler process in the beginning stages, I provide several days worth of detailed meal plans in my book, so my readers and my clients know exactly where to begin, without having to do the exact meal planning themselves.
Q: If there was one Diet Solution secret you could share with everyone what would it be?
A: Just one? Oh that’s tough. I guess it would be to learn your metabolic type and follow an eating plan that is specific to that type. Without this information, you may actually be following a healthy eating plan but one that is not specific to your metabolic needs. If it’s not what your body needs, you will not see the results you’re after.
Q: Any exciting new plans for the future?
A: Of course. We are now in the process of recording The Diet Solution Program as an audio program so that you can listen to the entire book in the car or on the go.
I am also in the process of putting together The Diet Solution for Children and The Diet Solution for Diabetes. Lots and lots of exciting projects in the works.
About Misconceptions With Food…
Q: You clearly state that soy is NOT a health food. Does this go for everyone including those people who want to gain muscle?
A: This goes for absolutely everyone, but especially for those who want to build muscle. I would even say the effects of eating soy will contribute to the exact OPPOSITE hormonal changes in your body that you want if building muscle is your goal. This is because most soy products on the market today contain phytoestrogens. These phytoestrogens mimic the effects of estrogen in the body and have been shown to decrease the testosterone levels of rats, monkeys and other animals, including humans. It has been known for quite some time that soy lowers testosterone to the point that there is an old Japanese wives’ tale that says women punish straying husbands by feeding them a lot of tofu. Now what do you think that means?
If building muscle is your goal, definitely stay away from any protein powder or protein bar that contains soy or soy protein isolate. Make sure to read labels carefully as it is in more products than you think.
Q: When choosing a protein powder, should I really be concerned about artificial sweeteners harming my body?
A: Artificial sweeteners have been found to be one of the most toxic substances we can put inside our bodies. Besides the fact that it causes brain and metabolism dysfunction, they clog up your liver to a point where it can not fully function.
Why is your liver so important? Your liver is not only responsible for eliminating toxins from your body but it is also responsible for metabolizing fat. If it is so busy processing through artificial sweeteners (a harmful toxin), it will not spend a sufficient amount of time processing through the unwanted fat you are trying to lose.
Believe it or not, I have had clients give up Diet Coke and lose up to 10 lbs in 2 weeks!
Q: Why are artificial sweeteners so bad if they supposedly have “zero calories”?
A: Zero sugar foods are actually much worse than sugar containing foods. Artificial sweeteners (like aspartame, sucralose, and saccharin) are poison to our bodies. Whenever the body reads an ingested food as a potential danger, your liver comes to the rescue to help ward off any danger these foreign substances may cause. People who eat and drink “diet” foods and “diet drinks all day, are overwhelming and taxing their livers. Your liver is crucial in the weight loss/fat burning process. So if your liver is taxed and not working at optimum, it becomes near impossible to lose any weight.
This is why I give my readers many alternatives to sugar free foods and sugar containing foods. There are natural alternatives that are ideal replacements for any of these diet foods, without the potential harm to the liver.
Q: In your program, you talk about good dairy and bad dairy. Any tip you can provide before I buy any more dairy?
A: Dairy is one of the leading reasons most people can not lose weight or, worse yet, are constantly gaining weight. The shocking truth about dairy is that it is only healthy in its raw form. All of the pasteurized dairy in the supermarkets today are really keeping people fat and making them fatter. Besides the countless amount of research that has been done showing us how healthy raw dairy is, the proof is really in the thousands of people and children that are overweight or obese and drinking several glasses of pasteurized milk each day.
Q: Eating organic food is really expensive. Is it worth the extra cost or completely over rated? Will it really make a difference in building muscle faster and losing fat quicker?
A: The answer to this question takes us back to the function of the liver. The pesticides, antibiotics and hormones that are being added to most foods are clogging up our livers. Again, a clogged up liver can not burn fat. And worse yet, will continue to store fat. Yes, organic food may be a bit more expensive. But most of my clients notice their grocery bill is the same once they eliminate the expensive cereals and “so called” expensive diet foods they were eating before.
Q: Do you think fat burning pills are helpful in the weight loss process?
A: I think people really don’t realize the severe damage they are causing their bodies with fat burning pills. Whenever you attempt to artificially spark your metabolism with harmful pills, you are essentially creating a “lazy” metabolism. When you go off these pills, your metabolism is too lazy to do anything. Almost every person I know who has taken fat burning pills complains of gaining even more weight when they attempt to get off of them. Of course this happens. Their metabolism is now “on vacation” and not sure if it will ever come back as strong as it was before. The best way to spark your metabolism is to eat good amounts of healthy protein, fat and carbohydrates all day long. This is what your metabolism was designed to do: metabolize healthy food into energy and muscle for the body to utilize.
Q: Are there really certain foods that are toxic to our bodies? How do we know which foods to look for?
A: The amount of toxic chemicals that are now added to our foods is actually quite frightening. The same pesticides that are designed to kill bugs are all over conventional produce and these pesticides go into our bloodstream when we eat these sprayed fruits and vegetables. The 2 worst forms of chemicals are hydrogenated oil and high fructose corn syrup. Hydrogenated oil is a toxic change in oil to make it more shelf stable, hence keeping foods like packaged cookies, cakes and most processed foods in the stores longer to make maximum profit by these companies. My program teaches people exactly which chemicals they must stay away from if they want to finally lose their excess weight (and often times, these chemicals are exactly what’s keeping them from achieving their desired goals).
About Your Physiology…
Q: How important is it to eat based on your metabolism and eat the right foods for your metabolism? Do you touch on this in your program?
A: Eating the right foods for your metabolism is so important, that it is the difference between losing weight and not losing weight. We are all individual and so are our metabolisms. In order to pinpoint exactly which meal plan will work best, I have included a Metabolic Typing Test so my readers can determine exactly how they metabolize food and which foods are “fat burning” foods and which foods are “fat storing” foods. The results of this test have been a true “A-ha” moment for thousands of people, finally, maybe for the first time, finding why they have not been able to shed their unwanted fat before.
What I teach in The Diet Solution Program is exactly what your body needs to maintain a lean and healthy body for a lifetime.
Q: Do you think people can lose weight on a fat free diet?
A: Definitely not. The no-fat craze clearly made most Americans (and many other countries) gain more weight than ever before. Why? Because the right kind of fat is essential to the body and without it, your body can not metabolize the fat you don’t want. So unless you feed your body the fats that it needs, it literally holds on to all the fat you don’t need (and don’t want!). Eating a low fat or no fat meal plan is a huge mistake. Not only will you not lose weight but you may suffer from many conditions such as asthma, diabetes, and heart disease.
This is usually one of the most eye-opening chapters for most of my readers. They can’t believe they need to eat fat to lose fat and are amazed when they see the results first hand. Now, of course, eating unhealthy fats (like the ones found in French fries and burgers) is not the right approach. You must focus on the healthy fats (again, as Mother Nature intended).
Q: After reading The Diet Solution I discovered that I am a serious ‘Protein Type’ – what the main thing I should do to increase my energy?
A: The main thing is not to be afraid of eating healthy fat and healthy proteins. Everyone thinks chicken breasts and egg whites is the only way to lose weight but, especially for a protein type, that is not the case. Actually a protein type may gain weight by only eating low fat proteins and a low fat meal plan. Someone like you needs whole eggs, dark meat poultry, beef, and healthy fats.
Q: What exactly is Metabolic Typing and why is it so important for each of us to know our metabolic type?
A: Metabolic typing is actually a very old science-based way to determine which foods respond best to your body. The best way to describe this method is: the foods that an Eskimo would eat are clearly different than the foods a native Hawaiian would eat. Why? Because their natural ancestors and their environment dictate how their bodies will process and digest food. So an Eskimo will need a meal plan higher in healthy fats to keep warm and a Hawaiian will need a meal plan higher in veggies and fruits to stay cool. Now, it is often not this simple. Each and every person’s metabolism responds very differently to all food and can vary greatly from person to person. For example, I feel my best and stay at my ideal weight when I eat higher fat proteins along with lots of vegetables where as many of my clients do better with higher amounts of natural carbohydrates and lower fat proteins. My book provides a detailed, easy to answer test to determine your own personal metabolic type and then tells you exactly which foods are the best fit for you.
Q: Can people lose weight by just starving themselves?
A: Back in the caveman days, there were periods of feast and famine. Our bodies have a natural ability to make sure we do not die of starvation. This mechanism in our bodies holds on to every bit of fat and every calorie possible to keep us from dying. This is obviously no longer a risk in most countries, but this mechanism is still present in our bodies. So when people starve themselves all day, the body sees this as a potential risk, and holds on to every calorie and fat gram it possibly can. This is why people become extremely frustrated when they “don’t eat all day” and still don’t lose weight.
I know it seems counterproductive, but the only way to truly lose weight and keep it off is to start eating. But not processed unnatural foods. Your body will respond best to natural, wholesome foods and LOTS of them.
Q: How do companies get away with selling products with harmful chemicals in them?
A: I hate to say this but most food and pharmaceutical companies are really only concerned with one thing: money. So if they were to actually teach people the real truth behind how to lose weight and take control of their health, most of the food products, supplements and medications on the market today would be completely unnecessary. Let’s be honest. No one is going to get rich selling apples, you know?
I think many of these companies are also feeding off people’s emotions. The more addicted they get people to their products and diet foods, the more money they will continue to make. But if you were to get someone to their ideal weight with natural foods like veggies, fruits and natural meats, there would be no food addictions to diet foods and chemicals, just good healthy eating.

Nutrition is Key

click here

Although a good exercise program is necessary, the make-or-break component of your routine is your diet. Nutrition accounts for up to 85% of your results. When you adopt a diet for losing weight, make sure you include a lot of nutrient-rich organic foods. Eat a lot of protein rich foods such as lean meat and fish. Avoid eating too many saturated fats. If you go shopping for your groceries, always go for fresh food and avoid pre-packaged items whenever you can. A lot of packaged foods are filled with preservatives and added sugar which make them detrimental to your weight loss goals.

Breakthrough Nutrient

1 gram of this breakthrough nutrient contains the same amount of antioxidants as if you ate 459 fresh blueberries a day! Talk about powerful and healing!

It’s brand new, patented and named CoffeeBerry®. It is one of the six nutrients in the supplement Prograde® Longevity ™ which is now available from this announcement without a prescription.

Unlike many supplements, all the amazing health benefits above are in clinical research reports by FutureCeuticals. These are not unproven claims
       CoffeeBerry® gets its incredible antioxidant health power because the berry is grown in South American regions where the sun’s rays are most powerful. It develops jaw-dropping antioxidants to protect itself from the sun’s power
Slows The Aging Process In Body and Brain

     Did you see Dr. Nicholas Perricone on Oprah? If you missed it, Dr. Perricone named a nutrient in Longevity™, Acai berry, as the #1 Superfood in the world!

Many cultures and people call it a miracle nutrient due to the health and healing it brings them. You’ve probably seen this reported on THE TODAY SHOW, in THE NEW YORK TIMES and in other leading media.

What’s more, a large Tufts University study showed it may help slow the aging process in both the body and brain!

Drinking red wine is good for your health, right? Yes it is. This is because red wine contains a nutrient called Anthocyanins which is a very powerful anti-oxidant. The beauty is, Acai berry found in Prograde® Longevity™ contains even more Anthocyanins than drinking red wine!

You can get all the vital benefits of drinking red wine – without the expense or negative effects of actually drinking it.

Stops The Cell Process That Leads To 

Aging And Chronic Illnesses!

Healthy cells are the key to your health and longevity, and the Green Tea extract in Longevity™ helps block the mutation of cells and reduce cell damage! It may also block the chemical reaction that creates harmful cells in your body!

Green tea is also proven to help prevent or reverse the clogging of your heart's blood vessels. A Dutch study of more than 3,000 people found that the more tea consumed, the less severe it was.

Cardiologist Nieca Goldberg, MD, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association and medical director of the New York University Women's Heart Center states green tea's antioxidants are dilators because they improve the flexibility of blood vessels and make them less vulnerable to clogging. "I think people should know these are important studies", Dr. Goldberg says.

Studies prove this nutrient in Longevity™ also helps:

>>> Eases your joint pain. Study results reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that polyphenols protect cartilage destruction and reduces joint swelling and pain.

>>> Lowers your cholesterol levels. Researchers believe this lowers your cholesterol levels by reducing its absorption in your digestive tract and increasing the rate of which it is excreted.

>>> Reduces tooth decay and prevents gum disease. The Antibacterial properties are also used by your body to kill the bacteria that causes plaque on your teeth. Research by the Journal of Periodontology has also shown there is a decrease in indicators for gum disease.

>>> Improves your memory. A recent report published in the journal Phytomedicine has found substantial evidence that the enzymes protect your brain cells from damage.

>>> Fights off allergies in your body. This has been shown to block a cells receptor involved in producing an allergic response. By blocking the production of histamine and immunoglobulin E (IgE), two compounds in the body that are chiefly involved in triggering and sustaining allergic reactions, it can prevent you from having watery eyes, sneezing and coughing.

>>> Fends off infections. A study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology has shown it is able to prevent infections.

>>> Prevent wrinkles and aging skin. Studies show it prevents wrinkles, cell oxidation and damage that can make you look older than you really are.

Do I need to lose weight ?

Perhaps, the more important question that you need to be asking yourself is, "Do I really need to lose weight?"

CHECK YOUR BMI

Obesity is just one of the many obvious signs you need to be watching out for if you really intend to regulate your weight. Don't be like the many individuals who are not aware of the distinction between being overweight and being obese. To clarify this issue, professionals define obesity as being 30 to 40 pounds heavier than the normal. This is usually connected with several other health problems, or it may even lead to death. Obesity is not just a matter of being worried about one's physical appearance; it should be a cause of grave concern for one's health.


Another indication that it's the right time for you to shed those pounds is when your clothes no longer fit. It is typical for a person to gain weight or lose weight, but if the change becomes significant, then it is probably best to engage yourself in a weightloss program


Aside from the fact that you need to be shopping for new clothes if you get bigger, there is also the possibility of harmful consequence to your well being. The drastic change in your body weight may signify a negative effect on your health. Thus it is proper to prevent these health problems as early as possible. And you can do so by losing weight.



If someone, whether a healthcare professional, family member or friend, has told you to lose weight then it is probably best to take his suggestion into serious consideration instead of getting offended. It is best to take the suggestion to mean that the other person is concerned about your health and well-being. There is nothing to be ashamed of if you get hints about needing to lose weight. Just be reminded that they are not given to make you feel bad about your appearance; take those as constructive criticisms, suggestions that will help you improve your health.

Top 5 Trans-Fat Filled Foods You MUST Avoid

Very Important Article click here to protect your heart.

Little Known Fat Burning Facts

Carbs, carbs, carbs. That's what everyone seems to want to talk about. How do I avoid carbs?
Well, what you should be talking about instead is, "How do I get more lean Protein into my eating plan?"
Now THAT is the right question.
You see, Protein is where it's at. Check out these two little known facts about protein:

1) Protein requires more calories to digest than carbs or fat. This is called the "thermic effect of food." In other words, your body uses more calories to digest protein than other nutrients. Pretty sneaky, huh?

2) Protein provides satiety. That's a fancy way of saying you feel fuller for longer when you eat protein ;-)

Good sources of Lean Protein come from foods such as:

Fish, eggs, poultry, lean beef...

But some people have trouble eating enough protein each day. Some people would like it to be more convenient for them.

If that's the case with you then I have VERY good news. And it's news I've been waiting to tell you for some time now.

My buddies over at Prograde Nutrition have finally released their pharmaceutical quality whey protein.

You see, not all Protein powders are created equal. Prograde Protein:

- Delivers unparalled purity through low-temperature mirco-filtering

- Is naturally sweetened with Stevia

- Contains 5.3 grams of branch chained amino acids per serving

- Mixes instantly with just a spoon

- Enhances absorption and digestion via lactase and Aminogen digestive enzyymes

Look, I've been waiting patiently for Prograde Protien to come out. But as usual, Prograde just would NOT release this product until they could get it as close to perfect as possible. Now that it’s here, I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Yours in health,

The Dietstopper

Fat Loss Rules To Live By

By Kevin DiDonato MS, CSCS, CES

Diet, exercise and sleep are sure fire ways to help you lose weight and keep it off.

However, today there is more information available to you for weight loss, that sometimes you can get overwhelmed.

We have made it easy for you to lose weight and keep it off.

Here are 7 simple fat loss rules to help you lose weight and change your body forever!
1. Eat 4-6 small meals day a day instead of the usual 2-3 large meals. Eating frequently will help regulate and boost your metabolism to burn more calories.

2. Consume whole foods that are high in fiber and low in sugar, such as lean protein sources (lean beef, chicken, fish, and whey protein), fruits & vegetables (oranges, apples, strawberries, blueberries, broccoli, peppers, asparagus, carrots, nuts (almonds, cashews, & walnuts), and whole grains.

3. Eat low-glycemic carbohydrates such as vegetables, whole-wheat products and oatmeal instead of refined processed carbohydrates which usually come in a box or a bag.

4. Consume 25-35 grams of fiber per day. Fiber will help satisfy hunger pangs as well as control insulin and blood sugar levels which tend to promote fat storage.

5. Eat some type of lean protein at each meal. Protein helps to satisfy hunger and provide the necessary building blocks to maintain lean body mass while losing body fat.

6. Consume adequate amounts of healthy fat foods such as olive oil, walnuts, almonds, Omega-3 fortified eggs, or other Omega-3 products. Healthy fats are great antioxidants as well as help with brain function and many other essential processes that take place in the body on a daily basis. Essential Fatty Acids, according to clinical studies, could also help prevent certain diseases. To guarantee you’re consuming enough Omega-3 supplement your diet with EFA Icon.

7. Eat 5-10 servings of fruit and vegetables a day to meet your micronutrient needs. Vegetables also contain a good amount of fiber and help to control appetites and curb hunger. Additionally, VGF25+ provides the power-packed nutrition of 25 whole vegetables, greens, and fruits in a convenient “super pill.”

How Omega-3 Fatty Acids Turn On Your Fat Genes

By Kevin DiDonato MS, CSCS, CES


New research published in the journal Nature, shows a potential breakthrough in the way your body handles different types of fat - especially omega-3 fatty acids.

What you eat, how much activity you get, and if you are including fruits, vegetables, and essential fats are all factors for helping you lose weight..

Now, however, researchers have shown that a receptor site located on your fat cells could play a key role in weight loss, fat accumulation (in your liver, arteries, and muscles), and specific characteristics reserved for people with diabetes.

Let me explain…

GRP120

GRP120 is a receptor site commonly found on the surface of your liver, fat, and muscle cells.

The function of the GRP120 receptor plays an important and functional role in the regulation of fat cells and your body’s ability to use unsaturated fatty acids - especially omega-3 fatty acids.

When unsaturated fatty acids bind to GRP120, they start a chain reaction, that research suggests, could lead to adipogenesis (the shift from adipocytes to adipose tissue), regulation of appetite, and your food choices.

The Research

Clinical research on mice deficient in the GRP120 gene that were fed a high-fat diet, showed increased obesity levels, glucose intolerance, and higher fat accumulation in the liver (fatty liver disease).

Also noted, these same mice showed a decrease in adipocyte differentiation, lipogenesis, and more hepatic (liver) lipogenesis.

The mice were unable to make more fat cells (adipocyte differentiation), which could take on more fat from the food they ate. Instead, the fat was transferred to other areas of the body.

Lipogenesis, simply put, is the process of developing fat. This is how your body converts fat found in food particles and stores it as body fat.

The mice deficient in GRP120 showed a reduction in fat being stored as body fat, but showed increased storage of fat in the liver and other organs.

The researchers also noted that GRP120-deficient mice showed signs of insulin resistance.

This resulted in a decrease in insulin signaling and higher inflammation levels (chronic and not acute) found in their fat cells.

Research suggests that when your fat cells are unable to utilize and store fat, the fat is then transferred and stored in other areas of your body, like your liver, muscles, and the walls of your arteries.

However, they also noted many similarities in regards to human subjects.

In people, increased fat in the liver, muscles, and walls of your arteries in combination with increased insulin resistance, could increase your risk for developing diabetes and heart disease.

The researchers noted that overweight or obese subjects showed higher levels of GRP120.

However, they did see a mutation in the GRP120 gene in overweight or obese subjects, which inhibited the activation of the gene to bind to unsaturated fatty acids.

This could decrease the activation of GRP120, which could increase obesity levels and increase their risk for diabetes and heart disease.

They concluded that GRP120 plays a significant role on sensing dietary fat, therefore disrupting the control of energy balance in both animal and human studies.

GRP120 and Your Health

Western diets, for the most part, are characterized by refined white flour, white sugar, and trans fats.

This could increase your omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, which research suggests, has the ability to increase chronic inflammation levels.

Chronic inflammation could target your fat cells, potentially deactivating the GRP120 receptor located on your fat, liver, or, muscle cells.

The GRP120 receptor is activated in the presence of omega-3 fatty acids, and when activated, has the potential to reduce chronic inflammation, create new fat cells, utilize more fat for energy, reduce inflammation, and lower fat stored in other organs like the liver and arteries.

This could stimulate weight loss and, as research suggests, lower your risk for heart disease and diabetes.

Disturbing Fact You Might Not Like

Fitness pros get a bad rap at times. And hey, sometimes it's well deserved. It's unfortunate, but there are still way too many "meat head" trainers who are more interested in looking at themselves in a mirror than they are in their own clients.

But we also take heat at times for being too interested in looks and appearance than health and wellness.

Well, I'm going to fill you in on a little secret. We've tried to market our businesses by educating people about the health benefits of proper nutrition and exercise. We'd love for people to care more about their health than how they look.

Unfortunately, and this holds true for the vast majority of people, they only care about their health once they've lost it.

Think about that for a little bit.

I can tell you right now the unscrupulous marketers online are making a FORTUNE promoting these Acai Berry pills right now. And they are able to do that because they are promoting it as weight loss and not the real benefit of Acai Berry.

It is the "magic pill" of the day. If you've been paying attention to the weight loss market you'll know it used to be Hoodia.

Now, you might not like it, but I'm not going to be the one to lie to you. I'm not going to be the one to tell you take this little pill and watch the weight fall off. Acai Berry is a heck of an antioxidant that can help your body fight the aging process and help boost your immune system, but it's not going to flush the excess pounds off your belly, butt, hips and thighs. Sorry.

Now my friends at http://dietstopper.com HERE. com have an amazing product that includes Acai Berry as one of its main ingredients. But unlike the Grade A scumbags out there lying to you, they only promote their product for what it is; a very powerful Antioxidant formula to help boost your health.

So if your health is of interest to you then definitely check out http://dietstopper..com/longevity

Sorry if this ticks you off. I'm here to shed light on the truth for you. It's up to YOU to decide whether or not your health is more valuable to you than your appearance.

Yours in health,
The dietstopper
