Sensotherapy Weight Loss Program
It is a well-known fact that excess weight is associated with increased chances of premature death. It is associated with other risk factors contributing to premature death, specifically high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes mellitus. Heart problems are much more common in obese persons than in non-obese persons. Men who are overweight are more likely to die of colorectal or prostate cancer than non-obese men. Obese women have a higher risk of endometrial, gallbladder, cervical, ovarian and breast cancer than non-obese women. Obese individuals are also at increased risk for gallbladder disease, pulmonary disease, cancer and arthritis.
Obesity is considered to be a disease with multifactorial conditions. Genetic, cultural, social, economic, behavioral and situational factors all play a role in weight problems and weight control. The treatment of obesity is not easy. Besides simply restricting the amount of food which is consumed by the individual, there are a number of other methods which are used for weight control. Moderate exercise, which may include walking or swimming, is a popular method. Other approaches include using commercial meal replacements, taking diet pills, as well as participating in organized weight loss programs.
A common misconception is that reducing certain types of food will help individuals lose weight. The most popular theory is that it is possible to lose weight successfully by restricting intake of fat. Although restricting saturated fats would reduce the amount of cholesterol and improve the chances of controlling heart disease and blood pressure, that, by itself, will not result in successful weight loss. Our body is capable of converting different materials to take the place of restricted fats. For instance, using carbohydrates, the body can manufacture sugar, proteins or fats.
The only way of losing weight successfully is to reduce the total amount of calories delivered over time. The recommended amount is 1,200 calories or less per day. The reason 1,200 calories are recommended because it helps the body to lose weight and it provides a sufficient amount of nutrients, minerals, and vitamins for energy. That is why "crash" diets with approximately 500 or 600 calories a day are not approved by the medical community.
Various pharmacological agents called appetite suppressants drugs are being used in weight reduction programs. You have probably recently read or heard about the withdrawal from the market of the drugs Pondimin and Redux. The FDA action was prompted by findings that suggested a possible association between Pondimin and Redux and heart valve abnormalities in some patients. This issue is now being investigated. For those reasons, these medications are no longer used. However, there are a number of appetite suppressants currently on the market which have a long-term reasonable safety profile. There are new methods concerning the use of appetite suppressants as well as better varieties. They should be used judicially and according of the needs of the individual patients. Of course we use prescription appetite suppressants when it is indicated. The problem with appetite suppressants is that they do not last long. This is true for all appetite suppressants. A number of studies found appetite suppressants medications to be significantly helpful, but also clearly showed their benefit is limited and that weight is rapidly regained after the drugs are discontinued.
A new and exciting method is available now, called Sensotherapy, which approaches the problem of being overweight from a different perspective. It is based on the observation that people are overeating not because they are hungry, but because they find satisfaction in specific flavors and the taste that food provides - flavor and tastes obviously created by different spices, sugar and salt. Providing concentrated spices, sugar and salt to a person drastically reduces their need for these ingredients and people consume much less food as they might do otherwise. Sensotherapy also involves special treatment of a food a person might particularly crave, i.e. chocolate, potato chips, soft drinks such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi, french fries, etc. This special treatment reduces one's dependence on that type of food so that they become interested in much healthier choices of food such as fruits and vegetables. Sensotherapy is based on natural food products. It is virtually free of side effects and is ideal for long term weight maintenance. Usually Sensotherapy is combined with a variety of appetite suppressant agents in the initial state to enhance and expedite the effect of the weight loss, although appetite suppressants are used in smaller doses making it potentially less dangerous.
What are the benefits of Sensotherapy? You can still eat what you like and dine out. You lose weight without stress and there is no need for excuses at parties. You do not spend extra money on artificial food. There is no taste of artificial foods. With Sensotherapy you will burn calories and enjoy food. The difference is you will want to eat healthy foods that are low in fat and cholesterol. You can expect steady and consistent weight loss without regaining after you reach your target weight. What is even more important is that Sensotherapy is most effective during the maintenance period. The most difficult moment in every weight loss program comes when the medication or artificial food is discontinued, usually between the forth and eight week in the program and people regain their weight. This is where Sensotherapy really makes the difference since Sensotherapy has virtually no side effects, it is save and may be continued as long as necessary.
Currently, we are trying to emphasize overall health awareness and well-being with focus and concentration of vitamins and herbs for those who suffer from anxiety, stress and fatigue. Get more energy and quality of life. In addition, you will receive a FREE weight loss diet guidelines.
Of course, we would recommend a combination of above methods to achieve superior results. However, if you prefer one particular method over the other, or you have only one method in mind, then it is you who will decide.
