Successful and lasting weight loss – without the yo-yo effect or feeling hungry
Would you like to get rid of a few annoying pounds too? Wonderful! We can never do enough for our bodies and our health. However, most diets have one huge problem: they are not particularly sustainable and are pure torture for the body. The so-called yo-yo effect is inevitable. This is exactly where our revolutionary metabolic program comes in: dr. reinwald metabolic regulation® is not just a diet. We combine a low-carbohydrate diet with a high-quality supply of protein and fats, effective support for the body’s own detoxification system, and sufficient exercise. In our experience, the combination of these building blocks is THE key to healthy weight loss without feeling hungry and without the yo-yo effect!
Losing weight without the yo-yo effect
Most diets are based on fasting or a significant reduction in calories. In most cases, during the weight-loss phase we then suffer not only from hunger, but also from a lack of vital nutrients such as fats, proteins, and micronutrients.
Above all, avoiding proteins over a longer period has devastating consequences: because amino acids, the most important building blocks of our cells, are missing, there is a massive reduction in what is known as lean organ mass. Lean body mass refers to the important tissues worth preserving, such as skin, connective tissue, bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, organs, and the entire immune system. With diets, it is often precisely this lean mass that is broken down instead of fat. The body then switches to “energy-saving mode” and uses less energy. As a result, the so-called yo-yo effect often occurs after a diet. We avoid these mistakes in our holistic metabolic program, above all through the use of MyAMINO®.
Conclusion: A weight-loss diet only works with few calories, and therefore without the yo-yo effect, if the fundamental nutritional building blocks, especially sufficient proteins, continue to be available. True to the motto: “If you want to lose weight, you have to eat. But the right things!”
Back to the roots: optimize your diet
Most of us today no longer eat in accordance with the dietary pattern shaped by our evolutionary history, and on top of that we get far too little exercise. We eat far too many denatured, carbohydrate-rich “feedstuffs” that are low in protein and vital nutrients. We even drive the shortest distances by car or use the elevator instead of taking the stairs.
A consistent shift back to a diet adapted to our human needs, as well as sufficient exercise, is therefore the first step toward better health. When it comes to healthy weight loss, this also means: consuming less energy-dense food, i.e. fewer carbohydrates and less sugar, but more vital nutrients—especially more protein. And high-quality protein at that!
Lose weight without going hungry – with MyAMINO®
Our amino acid classic MyAMINO® is the key to healthy weight loss without hunger and the yo-yo effect. The great thing: as a protein substitute, MyAMINO® has virtually no calories, while at the same time providing your body with an approximately comparable amount of actually usable amino acids as about 350 g of meat, fish, or poultry.
Of course, meat eaters will certainly find a juicy steak tastes better than MyAMINO®—no question. But you can already feel a huge difference in digestive burden and anabolic effect. Because MyAMINO® produces no digestive end products in the intestine whatsoever, which helps relieve the digestive system and consequently also the cardiovascular system. Thus, with MyAMINO® as a substitute for dietary proteins, virtually any diet can be less burdensome and proceed more quickly.
Slim and fit through a low-carbohydrate diet
The rumor that our body needs carbohydrates still persists stubbornly. Yet it has long been proven that carbohydrates are not essential for our body. Unlike essential fatty acids and amino acids, there are no essential sugars. Incidentally, contrary to popular belief, it is not fats that make you fat, but carbohydrates.
If our body is supplied with more carbohydrates than it can use, it stores them in the form of glycogen in the liver and muscles. However, the storage capacity is only 300 to 400 grams on average. If these stores are not emptied, for example through physical activity, newly consumed carbohydrates are converted into fat and stored. Our body, which is not designed for a high carbohydrate intake, reacts to this with weight gain and illness.
We therefore advocate a consistently low-carbohydrate diet. This switches the body over to fat metabolism, and energy production then works through fat burning. You can find the vegetables and fruits particularly suitable for our metabolic program in our expanded overview of glycemic load and glycemic index.
No weight loss without supporting the body’s own detoxification
During weight loss, the concentration of harmful substances in our body can increase. That is why our credo is: No “diet” without detox!
Every day, we all absorb harmful substances from environmental pollution through the skin, through breathing, and of course through our food, which our organism then stores in fat cells. When we lose weight, our body converts fat into energy, which it needs for building lean body mass and for other processes. However, this also releases possible harmful substances stored in the fat cells, such as heavy metals, pesticides, and other toxins, and transfers them into the bloodstream.
That is why accompanying support for the body’s own detoxification work during a weight-loss diet is essential in order to eliminate these harmful substances from our body! We achieve this by taking binding and buffering substances such as ChitosaCLEAN colon, PektiCLEAN® micro, or SulfoCLEAN®.
