iSatori Once Again Revolutionizes Fat Burning With the Release of New Ultra-Concentrated MX-LS7™ v2

Golden, CO (PRWEB) February 17, 2012

New Ultra-Concentrated MX-LS7™v2 from iSatori Technologies (http://www.isatoritech.com/MXLS7v2) is a new, significantly stronger, concentrated version of the original high-performance fat burner that has helped over two million people lose weight and get ripped since it was first introduced in 2002.

This new, more powerful, state-of-the-art MX-LS7 formula was totally re-engineered by iSatori with never-before-seen ingredients, which scientific studies have shown help destroy fat cells by converting resistant, ”stubborn” white cells into usable, ”dissolvable” brown cells—to help users strip away stubborn bodyfat, fast.

“All fat burners today are designed with ‘old school’ ingredients that target the wrong fat—white cells. New MX-LS7 v2, on the other hand, is the first weight-loss agent ever designed to ‘reprogram’ fat cells, forcing fat cells to literally ‘self-destruct,’ by converting white cells into brown cells, and thereby rapidly alter your body composition—by helping you reduce stubborn bodyfat versus lean muscle," explains Stephen Adele, CEO and founder of iSatori Technologies (http://www.isatoritech.com/MXLS7v2).

iSatori scientists worked tirelessly to uncover the latest ground-breaking research on three ingredients never before seen. These ultra-potent thermogenic (i.e., fat-burning) ingredients, which are exclusive to iSatori’s proprietary formula include Hemodren™ (a proprietary form of Hemerocallis), Brassical™ (a proprietary form of Brassica), and Red Dralion™ (a proprietary form of Sceletium, being deemed as the “geranium replacement”).

“These ingredients have been carefully researched and combined in specific ratios to help strip away stubborn bodyfat, fast, inhibit the uptake of fat, and radically influence energy and mood, while suppressing your appetite for total fat destruction. And it does this extraordinarily fast!” explains Adele.

But though clinical trials are important, they aren’t enough. Consumers rely on real-world results, with real people (not paid endorsement athletes). “As proof, Dewey Whitworth, even at the age of 52, was able to strip away stubborn bodyfat and get ripped and ‘competition-ready,’ using MX-LS7 v2 as part of the pilot testing program. If he can do it, so can you. Dewey’s proof of how fast our new MX-LS7v2 works—even on the most stubborn fat!” says iSatori Marketing Manager Sue Mosebar.

Ultra-Concentrated MX-LS7 v2 is already in high demand and will soon be available in select markets, so be sure to ask your favorite retailer if they have it. If you can’t find it, you can learn more about the Ultra-Concentrated MX-LS7 v2, or find your nearest retailer, by calling iSatori Technologies direct at 1-866-688-7679 or visit their website at http://www.iSatoriTech.com/MXLS7v2.

Primary Care Intervention Helps Obese Teen Girls Manage Weight, Improve Body Image, and Change Behavior

PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Teenage girls gained less weight, improved their body image, ate less fast food, and had more family meals after participating in a 6- month program that involved weekly peer meetings, consultations with primary care providers and separate meetings for parents. Those results from a study published online today in the journal Pediatrics.

Funded by the National Institutes of Health, the study is the first to report long-term results from a weight management program designed specifically for teenage girls. Most other programs have included younger children and interventions focused on the entire family. This program included separate meetings for parents with the rationale that teens are motivated more by peer acceptance than parental influence. Unlike previous programs, this one was conducted in a primary-care setting, rather than an academic or specialty-care environment.

"Nearly one-third of teenage girls are overweight or obese, and many of them are likely to become obese adults," said Lynn DeBar, PhD, MPH, lead author and senior investigator with the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research. "Our study shows that intervention programs can help these girls achieve long-term success managing their weight and also learning new habits that will hopefully carry over into their adult life." 

"Many teenage girls are still growing taller, so for them, maintaining weight or slowing weight gain is an acceptable goal," said Phil Wu, MD, a pediatrician who leads Kaiser Permanente's effort to prevent and treat childhood obesity and is also a co-author of the study. "Girls in the program gained less weight than those who weren't in the program, and they reduced their overall body mass index, improved their self-image and developed healthy lifestyle habits, so all of these are successes."

The study included 208 girls, ages 12–17, in Oregon and Washington during 2005–2009. All of the girls were classified as overweight or obese, according to standards set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention standards. Half of the girls were assigned to the intervention group and half to usual care.

Girls in the intervention group met weekly with their peers and a behavioral counselor during the first three months, and then every other week during months four and six. The girls were weighed and asked to keep a food and activity diary, which they discussed during each meeting. The program focused on decreasing portion size, limiting consumption of energy-rich foods, establishing regular meal patterns, substituting water for sugar-sweetened beverages, reducing fast food, increasing fruit and vegetable consumption, and having more family meals.

The girls were encouraged to exercise at least 5 days a week for 30-60 minutes, and to limit screen time to 2 hours a day.  They also received yoga instruction, and a physical-activity video game to use at home.  Discussion topics included ways to avoid disordered eating, coping with family and peer teasing and developing strategies to combat negative self-talk.

Parents attended separate weekly meetings to learn how to support their daughters. The girls' health care providers received summaries of the girls' current health habits, including meal and physical activity patterns. After receiving training in motivational techniques, the providers met with the girls at the beginning of the study to help them choose one or two behaviors to work on. The providers had a second visit with the girls at the end of the six-month intervention to check their progress.

Girls assigned to the usual-care group received a packet of materials that included a list of online reading about lifestyle changes. They also met with their primary care provider at the beginning of the study, but the providers were not given health habit summaries for these girls.

Both groups had health assessments and lab tests at the beginning of the study, at six months, and then again at 12 months. The girls started out with an average weight in the 190 lb. range, and an average body mass index in the 97th percentile, which by CDC standards is considered to be obese. At the end of the study, girls who participated in the program were in the 95th percentile, while girls in the usual-care group were in the 96th percentile.

Authors say the weight changes were statistically significant but modest compared to some other weight loss interventions. They point out that the girls were severely obese to begin with and possibly treatment-resistant due to previous involvement in other weight loss programs. The program purposely de-emphasized calorie counting, focusing instead on lifestyle changes, and the authors acknowledge that this approach may have produced more modest weight changes than they had expected.

This study is part of ongoing Kaiser Permanente research into weight loss. Previous studies include:

A Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research study published in the International Journal of Obesity last year found that people trying to lose at least 10 pounds were more likely to reach that goal if they had lower stress levels and slept more than six hours, but not more than eight hours, a night. Another Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research study published in 2010 found that the more people logged on to an interactive weight management website, the more weight they kept off. Researchers at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research also reported in a 2008 study that keeping a food diary can double a person's weight loss and that both personal contact and Web-based support can help with long-term weight management.

Stevens, PhD; Nancy Perrin, PhD; John Pearson, MD; Bobbi Jo Yarborough, PsyD; John Dickerson, MS; and Frances Lynch, PhD, from the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research in Portland, Ore.,; and Philip Wu, MD, from Northwest Permanente in Portland, Ore.

New Program Helps Teen Girls With Weight Issues

By Val Wadas-WillinghamCNN Medical Producer

POSTED: 7:50 am EST February 13, 2012
UPDATED: 7:56 am EST February 13, 2012

(CNN) -- Being obese can be a very isolating experience, and losing weight can be difficult for anyone, particularly for a teenager.A new study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, finds that teenage girls gained less weight, ate less fast foods, improved their body images and had more family interaction over meals, after participating in a six-month program designed especially for teenage girls.The program involved weekly peer meetings, consultations with primary care providers and separate meetings for their parents.Conducted by Kaiser Permanente, the study is the first to report long-term results from a weight management program designed specifically for this age group. In previous programs, younger children, teens and family members were included. This one was designed for teen girls only."Nearly one-third of teenage girls (between the ages of 12 and 17) are overweight or obese, and many of them are likely to become obese adults," said Dr. Lynn DeBar, lead author and senior investigator with the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research. "Our study shows that intervention programs can help these girls achieve long-term success managing their weight and also learning new habits that will hopefully carry over into their adult life."The study focused on 208 girls, ages 12 to 17, who lived in the states of Oregon and Washington during 2005-2009. All of the girls were classified as being obese. Half of the girls were assigned to the program and the other half got usual care. Girls assigned to the usual-care group received information on changing their lifestyles along with a visit from a physician at the start of the study.The girls in the program, however, met weekly with other teenage girls as well as with a behavioral counselor during the first three months, and then every other week after that for the remaining three months. The teens were asked to keep food and activity diaries, along with charting their weight. At each meeting, they discussed their journals and their progress.The program was designed to focus on cutting down portion sizes, watching what types of foods they were eating including the reduction of fast food and sweetened beverages in their diets. Doctors in the program also suggested the girls have more meals with their families, instead of on the go or with friends. The girls were also encouraged to exercise at least five days a week for 30 to 60 minutes and were introduced to yoga classes. Their parents were asked to attend separate weekly meetings to learn how to support their daughters.Although the program was intensive, researchers say they found it made all the difference."Many teenage girls are still growing taller, so for them, maintaining weight or slowing weight gain is an acceptable goal," said Dr. Phil Wu, a pediatrician who leads Kaiser Permanente's effort to prevent and treat childhood obesity and is also a co-author of the study. "Girls in the program gained less weight than those who weren't in the program, and they reduced their overall body mass index, improved their self-image and developed healthy lifestyle habits, so all of these are successes."After the six months, both groups health and weight were assessed and then again at 12 months. The girls started out with an average weight in the 190 pound range, and an average body mass index in the 97th percentile, which by CDC standards is considered to be obese.At the end of the study, girls who participated in the Kaiser program were in the 95th percentile, while girls in the usual-care group were in the 96th percentile.Although the weight loss was not drastic, researchers noted the girls who participated in the program continued to lose modest amounts of weight as the months went on, helping them to better cope with their weight issues.

Fur flies as Daisy Lowe is accused of being overweight

London Fashion Week does not begin until Friday, but tempers are already beginning to fray. Sasha Volkova, the Marks & Spencer model, has suggested that her fellow mannequin Daisy Lowe, a former girlfriend of the Doctor Who star Matt Smith, is overweight.

To add insult to injury, Volkova, who comes from humble origins in the Ukraine, adds that if Lowe was not the daughter of a well-known couple, she would be asked to go on a diet.

“If Daisy Lowe’s parents weren’t famous, if she had gone to a model agency, they would have told her to go and lose some weight,” Volkova tells Mandrake at Mark Fast’s “creative talent” dinner at the Corinthia hotel. “That might not be right, but other girls get treated like that.”

Daisy, 23, is the daughter of Pearl Lowe, the pop singer turned fashion designer, and Gavin Rossdale, the rock singer.

Volkova, 26, was engaged to Dan Macmillan, the great-grandson of the former prime minister Harold Macmillan and heir to the Earl of Stockton. “I don’t know what is it with London,” she adds, “but the fashion world here is always in love with famous offspring, aren’t they?”

Foods to Speed Up Metabolism

A calorie is a calorie, and cutting them is the best way to lose weight, right? Not so fast. New research shows that eating certain types of foods can rev your metabolism, curb your appetite, and help you lose more weight than others. The Active Calorie Diet, an eating plan based on this research, explains how some foods take more work to eat so you burn more calories during digestion. In fact, just the act of chewing foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean cuts of meat can increase your calorie burn by up to 30 percent.

In this diet plan, foods are broken down into four types of "active calories"--chewy foods, hearty foods, energizing foods, and warming foods. Here’s how each one encourages your body to burn more calories.

8 Things You Didn’t Know About Calories

Chewy Foods
(lean meats, nuts, whole fruits and vegetables)

These calories make your body work right off the fork. To maximize the chew factor, choose food in its most "whole" state—apples instead of applesauce, for instance. High-protein foods really are your best ally in the Active Calorie Diet because they take more work to chew and longer to leave your stomach so you take more time eating—and have more time to register that you’re full.

Hearty Foods
(fruits, vegetables, brown rice, whole grains and cereals)

In addition to being chewy, these Active Calories are packed with fiber, so they take up more room in your belly (compared to other foods with the same number of calories), and leave less room for second helpings. Foods that take more work to chew literally make your mouth work harder (ramping calorie burn by 10 percent) and increase the thermic effect of food, the calorie-burn bump we get from eating and digesting any given type of food.

Energizing Foods
(coffee, black and green tea, dark chocolate)

You can get metabolism-boosting caffeine in coffee and black tea; just be careful not to load them up with milk, cream, or sugar. Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant, so your daily java or black tea can boost your metabolism by 5 to 8 percent ---about 80 to 128 calories a day. Green tea doesn’t have much caffeine but it does contain catechins, an antioxidant that raises resting metabolism by 4% (about 80 calories a day). Dark chocolate contains both catechins and caffeine, but stick to 1 ounce per day to limit fat and calories.

Secrets of 5 High-Energy Women
 

Warming Foods
(peppers, cinnamon, ginger, garlic, cloves, mustard, vinegar)

To fully activate the calories from every meal, add some heat. Dieters taking capsaicin, the chemical that gives peppers their burn, doubled their energy expenditure for several hours after eating, according to a new study from UCLA. Even mild peppers contain compounds that help erase up to 100 calories a day by binding to nerve receptors and sending fat-burning signals to your brain. Cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves, and garlic help, too.

Fat-Burning Meal Ideas

Following The Active Calorie Diet is easy and doable because you’re probably eating many of the foods on a daily basis already.

Your meals will consist of mostly chewy and hearty foods, plus at least one energizing or warming food. You can have a daily snack that contains at least one type of Active Calorie food. Keep your calories to around 1,500 a day and you could lose up to 14 pounds and 4 inches in just 4 weeks.

Do not starve yourself to lose weight: researcher

‘Right food at the right time is an effective medicine'

Starvation should not be adopted as a means to tackle obesity. A lot of lifestyle factors, including proper diet, exercise and good sleep are very important in the management of obesity as ‘vaata', ‘pitha' and ‘kapha' considered to be the basic elements in one's constitution in Ayurveda, should be in perfect balance, said C.R. Agnives, Ayurveda researcher and winner of Dhanwantari Award instituted by the Kerala government.

He was delivering a lecture on the Ayurvedic perspective on obesity at the Global Ayurveda Fest here on Saturday

The former Director of Ayurveda Medical Education M.R. Vasudevan Nampoothiri, who spoke on the relevance of Ayurveda dietetics in the management of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), pointed out that the ancient scriptures of Bhavaprakasha and Charaka Samhitha, cited improper diet as the main cause of NCDs.

“Eating undesirable food, having a meal within three hours of the previous one, and eating untimely food can all harm one's health. Food should be eaten slow so that digestion takes place fast and no food should be consumed so that one feels full,” he said quoting scriptures.

In short, right food at the right time is an effective medicine for good health, Dr. Namboothiri said.

Renowned teacher-clinician of Ayurveda from Tamil Nadu L. Mahadevan, spoke in detail about the basic concepts of ‘dhatu' (tissue systems), ‘dosha' (vatha, pitha and kapha' ) and ‘ritu' in Ayurveda and how these influence one's health, with special reference to hepato biliary diseases.

Director of Manipal Life Sciences Centre who spoke on ‘NCDs — genomics and prakrithi,' elaborated on how the body's DNA-repairing capacity diminished with age and how ‘rasayanas' could help in DNA repair and maintaining the original functioning of the cells.

Mark Rosenberg, Chief Executive Officer, European Academy of Ayurveda from Germany, said that Ayurveda as complementary medicine was gaining popularity in Germany. He spoke about how people were more bothered about holistic health, and how in Germany, Ayurveda was helping modern medicine heal body and mind.

Holistic cure

An Ayurveda practitioner in Europe for the past 15 years, E.P. Jeevan, pointed out that depression, psychosomatic disorders, rheumatic ailments and metabolic disorders were very common in Europe and that more and more people were thinking about good health beyond simple cure. Ayurveda was gaining popularity because of its holistic nature of treating the mind, body and spirit to gain good health, Dr. Jeevan said.

Parallel sessions dealing with degenerative diseases, liver disorders and NCDs with a special focus on diseases affecting women were also held.
