Ron Damico, LLC ENERGY HEALER AND SPIRITUAL GUIDE


In one 2011 study, researchers exam- ined the effect of PGX (a novel combina- tion of konjac/ glucomannan + sodium alginate + xanthan gum) on appetite in 35 overweight and obese women consuming a 3-day structured diet. They concluded that adding 5g of PGX to low-calorie meals reduces food consumption and increases satiety, and that PGX “may be a useful ad- junct to weight-loss interventions involving significant caloric reductions.”

3. Appetite Suppressants (1) Relora® (Magnolia + Phelloden- dron) - induces relaxation, reduces cortisol (the stress hormone), and combats fatigue and stress eating; (2) Garcinia cambogia (60% HCA)- some short-term, small stud- ies have demonstrated this fruit’s associa- tion with short-term weight and fat loss by suppressing the appetite and inhibiting the enzyme (citrate lyase) that the body uses to convert carbohydrates to fat.


4. Fat Burners


(1) If Not Hypertensive – formulas that include bitter orange (source of synephrine and octopamine, chemicals in ephedra), moderate doses of caffeine/green tea-EGCG/ guarana (for those with no adrenal, thyroid, prostate, anxiety, or hypertension/cardio issues); white willow bark, and/or bioperine/


black pepper; (2) If Hypertensive – formulas containing fucoxanthin, a brown seaweed carotenoid clinically proven to burn fat naturally without side effects, or lactoferrin [found in breast milk; male and female study subjects with abdominal obesity who took 300 mg/day for 8 weeks showed significant reduction in dangerous abdominal (visceral) fat, body weight, BMI, and hip circumfer- ence; and (3) Whey Protein (Ideally: Grass Fed; Organic; Micro-Filtered Isolate; total 1-2g protein per pound of body weight per day) - pre-exercise whey consumption sup- ports fat burning and may help those who exercise gain or maintain lean body mass.


With a healthy diet, daily exercise, and the appropriate nutritional supplements, you can combat weight gain and thus improve and prolong your life. Try starting with some form of enjoyable exercise and an ex- perienced practitioner or health coach who can guide you through the healthy-diet and supplements maze and chart your progress. Once the health effects of your new lifestyle begin to kick in, you’ll crave nutritious foods and will wonder how you ever ate all those high-caloric, nutrient-empty foods!
