More fun facts on how to supercharge fat loss... more Dr. Oz facts

Okay, so you can tell from last week's post, I have become a super fan of Dr. Oz's advice on how to work the mind, body and food combinations to achieve the greatest fat loss.

So, I thought I would share another great bit of advice that I picked up from his show that aired last week. I love all this new found knowledge. I am so 'thirsty' for it, I just can't get enough, I feel like I am a student, taking notes and sharing the 'gospel' with everyone I come across. I just love this stuff!

His guest was Dr. Natasha Turner, a renowned Doctor in the field of nutrition and health whose focus is all about the fact that the reason we can't lose fat is that many of us suffer from a hormone imbalance.

Want to find out how this gorgeous red pomegranate can melt your fat off??? Read on!



So here are the tips on how to restore hormone balance to super charge fat loss. Again, these are my 'paraphrased' notes. Here's the link to the actual episode. http://www.doctoroz.com/episode/melt-your-fat-fast

Secrets to Melt your Fat Fast:

- You need to detox your digestive tract. So mix 1/2 lemon's juice, grate a 1 inch of fresh ginger, a pinch of cayenne in 4 cups of water. Drink this many times a day.

-  Where your fat is mostly stored on your body actually points to what type of hormone imbalance you have. So if you carry your fat mostly:

--On your stomach: You have too much cortisol. To balance that hormone, you should take a supplement called Holy Basil. Take 2 gel caps per day.

--On your butt and hips (that would be me): You have too much toxic estrogen. To balance that hormone, you should take Indole 3-Carbinol, 200mg twice a day with fibre. Here's a great link that describes the benefits of this vegetable based supplement including fighting all types of cancers. http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-1027-INDOLE-3-CARBINOL.aspx?activeIngredientId=1027&activeIngredientName=INDOLE-3-CARBINOL

--On your back (back fat): You have too much insulin. Take a supplement called CLA, 1500mg twice a day.

Here are some details on the ways in which to combine your food for maximum hormone balancing/fat burning effeciency:
-Eat twice as much protein and fat than carbs during meals and snacks
-Never eat carbs alone. Always eat protein as well.

Here are some Hot Hormone Foods:
-Whey Protein Isolate Powder- it's the most bio-available form of protein. So add to smoothies to add 30 g of protein for breakfast. She repeated that it's very important that your breakfast be full of protein.

-Pomegranate- it lowers estrogen levels, it's anti-inflammatory and lowers risks of all types of cancers

-Buckwheat- it's the richest source of protein from a starchy carb. A good way to include this in your diet it so buy buckwheat pasta.

-Drink red wine. A cabernet sauvignon is a good type. 3 glasses a week, reason is they contain flavenoids and if you have it after your meal, it helps with digestion.

-Soy nuts. It combats age-related weight gain. Have a serving a day, it helps to increase metabolism. I bought some and added them to my salad. It adds a great crunch in place of croutons.

Finally, some great tips to manage blood sugar and insulin levels;
-Add 1-2 tsp of cinnamon to your morning meal - oatmeal-cereal-yogurt.
-Drink 1 tsp of white vinegar before a high carb meal (pasta). It slows down body's desire to use sugar.
-Soluble Fibre such as Metamucil (Psyllium Fibre). The Phyllium fibre gels and traps carbs and sugars in the digestive track. Mix 1 serving of Metamucil with 8oz of water and drink before meals.

That's all for now folks, take this information and run with it.You just might see the fat melt away!
