3 Nutrients for Weight Loss

These 3 Nutrients Help Weight Loss

So…Juice Off the Pounds!

Are you ready to shape up for your summer events!  Maybe you have a vacation, family reunion, a visit with old friends, or a wedding on your calendar for this summer.  Do you want to lose a few pounds to look and feel your best for the summer events?  Try my Juice Fasst Summer 2016 Challenge! You can lose 5 pounds in 5 days.  Really you can!  Many people who have joined my groups have lost a pound a day when juice fasting.

Here are some of the best nutrients and ingredients to help you lose weight:

• Pantothenic acid, one of the B vitamins, is important in fat metabolism. One study found that individuals taking supplemental pantothenic acid lost weight at an average of 1.2 kg per week. Best juice sources: broccoli, cauliflower, and kale.
• Chromium helps the body develop a good insulin response. Insulin plays a critical part in maintaining steady blood sugar levels and in stimulating thermogenesis (heat production, which means more calories burned). Chromium can help to increase lean tissue—more muscle means more fat-burning potential. Presumably, this is due to increased insulin sensitivity. In one study, those taking the 200-mcg and the 400-mcg dose of chromium lost an average of 4.2 pounds of fat and gained 1.4 pounds of muscle (versus the placebo group that lost only 0.4 fat pounds and gained only 0.2 pounds in muscle). The recommended daily intake of chromium is between 50 and 200 mcg, yet it appears to be in short supply in the American diet. A USDA study found that nine out of ten adults get less than 50 mcg of chromium daily. Best juice sources: potatoes, green bell peppers, apples, parsnips, spinach, and carrots.
• Ginger root has thermogenic properties. With some people the tendency to become overweight may be related to a metabolic makeup that results in low thermogenesis. Foods such as ginger root and hot peppers can help facilitate energy production, which can promote weight loss.

Rebecca Lost A Pound a Day!

My friend Rebecca lost 30 lbs. (juice fasting with your group) and felt so good. Her headaches were gone and her skin looked wonderful! She looked so relaxed that I decided I wanted to do it as well. Being such a good friend she wanted me to get healthy too.—Valerie
