A Scandinavian team looked into what happens at the cellular level when you gain weight. Kirsi Pietiläinen, PhD, an assistant professor of nutrition at Helsinki University Central Hospital, studied sets of twins where one was fat and the other thin, and learned that fat cells in heavier twins underwent metabolic changes that make it more difficult to burn fat. Pietiläinen’s team suspects that gaining as little as 11 pounds can slow metabolism and send you spiraling into a vicious cycle: As you gain more fat, it becomes harder to lose it.
Detoxing is a short term experience that allows your body to maintain or lose weight by increasing the bodies eliminating and purifying properties. For an optimum detox, we want to ensure our body is not overtaxed or overburdened during the process. This means focusing on easily digested foods and drinking copious amounts of clean water. Snacks are not the obvious solution for most when it comes to detoxing, but because they are easily digestible, the revolutionary 5-day diet is based entirely on snacks. Weight Loss Buddy has introduced a portable solution, a diet detox to follow you wherever you go. Each day’s portion is transportable, packed its’ own individual bag so you can easily grab it and take it along with you to the office, on-the-go or to school! The snacks were picked based on the total calorie allowances used in a USC study, ratios of carbs/proteins/fats used in the study, and some foods used in the study such as, Kale, Chamomile teas, and other healthy munchies.
How to stay social when all your food is picked out for you? Easy- just grab a buddy and challenge them to do the diet with you and maximize your time. It’s a “no-brainer” for an active social life Just eat what’s in the box: No shopping, cooking, washing dishes and no reading labels and wondering how many calories are in every restaurant meal. All brands are all natural, vegetarian, gluten-free and Kosher, using Non-GMO’s.
Joey Dweck, Founder of the 5-day program promoted by Weight Loss Buddy says, “If you can do the diet with a friend it makes it much easier. They can also connect with other people on the diet on the website. One of the reasons we recommend people do the diet Mon — Fri is so they can still socialize and go out to eat as they normally would on the weekend. The health benefits of intermittent fasting have been established throughout history and through controlled scientific studies. At Weight Loss Buddy, we have incorporated the latest research to bring the best science has to offer to the field of health and weight loss.”
The 5:2 Diet has had millions of followers since it was introduced several years ago. Valter Longo, the lead scientist of the original studies on which it is based, was recently quoted as saying that fasting 5 consecutive days a month ex. “The 5 Day Fast Diet” is easier and more effective than the 5:2 Diet-see link below.
