WEIGHT LOSS SUGAR CONTROL DIET
WEIGHT LOSS SUGAR CONTROL DIET with BASIC PLUS, KELA E and KELA CHROMIUM
There are six key stress factors that can contribute to weight gain and often are the HIDDEN factors that interfere with successful, long term weight loss. These HIDDEN six stress factors are seldom addressed by fad diets and weight loss programs. The WEIGHT LOSS SUGAR CONTROL DIET along with BASIC PLUS, KELA E AND KELA CHROMIUM address these six stress factors to help the individual return to a healthy weight, as soon as the body will allow.
Six hidden stress factors:
1. Undernutrition (malnutrition)
2. Endocrine/Thyroid/Hormonal imbalances
3. Sugar overload
4. Inflammation
5. Intense exercise
6. Hidden food allergies
1. Undernutrition threatens the body's survival code and sense of well being. It is difficult to eat nutritionally dense food given the fact that the soil our food is grown in is mineral deficient and the refining and processing of food further depletes nutritional values. In response to the stress of not receiving adequate nutrition, the body goes into a conservation mode and converts food into fat storage to protect its life. When there isn't enough nutrition to support all of the bodies needs, the path of least resistance is taken--if in doubt convert to fat.
BASIC PLUS is the first defense in the hidden stress factor of undernutrition. Its patented ingredients go right to the cell, providing all of the vitamins and minerals needed to nourish and support life! It gives the body the message that starvation is no longer present so there is no need for the survival mode of fat storage.
2. Endocrine/Thyroid/Hormone imbalance. The Endocrine system regulates our body by providing the checks and balances needed to keep it running efficiently and effectively. If faced with insufficient nutrition, communication between all of the body organs, hormones, and glands may be compromised. The Thyroid gland is especially sensitive to this lack of communication and may become hindered in its ability to regulate lean muscle to body fat metabolism, and homrmonal balance. Often, it is minute levels of nutrient that are low. Routine blood tests may reveal levels at the low end of normal. The body becomes stressed trying to make up that minute difference so typically slows down Thermogenesis and the Endocrine system so that it can try to keep up with supply and demand.
KELA E provides nutritional support to the Endocrine System and Thyroid gland for two of the key regulating, management responsibilities they have--regulating lean muscle to fat metabolism, and hormone balance.
3. Sugar overload comes from the diet. Simply put, the end product from eating carbohydrates is sugar (glucose). The carbohydrate group of food, fruits, vegetables, pasta, grains, lentils, dried beans, and refined sugar are primarily responsible for providing vitamins, minerals, and energy to the body. However, an excess of carbohydrates can result in blood sugar levels that become out of balance. The stress of dealing with too high a level of sugar in the body can trigger fat metabolism and insulin resistance.
KELA CHROMIUM should be taken if there is a history of blood sugar imbalances. It helps glucose metabolism. If the metabolism of glucose is improperly metabolized, it coverts to fat and contributes to atherosclerotic plaque and heart disease. If sugar is properly metabolized, as it is in the presence of chromium, then the body has a chance to deplete blood fat, use glucose sugar levels for energy production, even out appetite, reduce binges and stabilize blood sugar levels.
4. Inflamation can be a chronic condition from high levels of stress. It may also result from an imbalance of amino acids, from a high sugar diet, insufficient vitamins and minerals, low levels of Omega 3 E.F.A., or hidden food allergies. Inflammation and stress can trigger high cortisol levels. When stres or inflammation hit the body, the energy reserves from fat, protein and carbohydrates are rapidly mobilized to deal with the stressor. Levels of adrenaline and cortisol increase, while DHEA and testosterone decrease. The combined effect of high cortisol and low DHEA lead to muscle loss and fat gain. Chromium has been shown to reduce serum cortisol levels and help protect against muscle loss and fat gain.
5. Intense vigorous exercise also causes stress in the body. It also activates high levels of cortisol. The myth of "no pain, no gain" regarding exercise is exactly that, a myth. Research shows that intense, heavy exercise causes the body to first burn sugar, then lean muscle, and very little fat. It activates high levels of cortisol and the result is fat gain in the body. You may weigh less from the loss of lean muscle tissue, but your body fat ratio has increased and your tendency to store fat increased. The body responds better to consistent, moderate exercise, that is non-stressful, for fat burning results to occur.
6. Often, hidden allergies can be the culprit for metabolic weight gain. Removing the offending food or food groups, helps relieve the body of stress and allows it to restore a healthy balance. Wheat, soy, rice, dried beans and lentils, and corn are major contributors for hidden allergies. Reaction in the body is subtle and not like traditional skin allergy reactions, so may go undiagnosed.
The Weight loss Sugar Control Diet with Basic plus, Kela E, and Kela Chromium provides dietary guidelines that reduce the intake of these key foods which contribute to hidden allergies, thus helping to eliminate stress to the body and the consequent fat and weight gain that come from too much stress.
In summary, despite media hype, there is no magic bullet for weight loss. The key is to restore the body to a healthy balance via the synergism of nutrition, dietary, and lifestyle changes which includes gentle daily exercise, for weight loss management.
WEIGHT LOSS SUGAR CONTROL DIET
WITH
BASIC PLUS, KELA E, AND KELA CHROMIUM
This diet is designed to help re-establish the sugar control mechanism within the body. Please follow it very closely. As your condition improves and you reach your weight goal, gradually add back one-at-a-time eliminated food groups, one each week. Observe your weight. If if holds steady, then you may continue to add back food groups. If you see a rise in your weight, then you know that that particular food may be causing a hidden allergy and should be avoided. The closer you follow the diet, the sooner your body will respond and move towards a normal, well-balanced healthy condition.

IMMUNE SYSTEM SUPPLEMENTS
Useful supplements for the Immune System begin with a basic multiple vitamin/mineral that includes all of the essential vitamins and minerals plus the important antioxidant nutrients. Care must also be taken with one's diet to obtain sufficient dietary proteins and L-amino-acids which help form the Immune System tissues and antibodies, along with essential fatty acids.
A basic Immune System Supplement should include at least 100% of the RDA for pyridoxine, pantothenic acid, and folic acid. These vitamins are needed for proper protein production along with magnesium and zinc for cell and tissue health. In addition, 100% of the RDA amounts of the anti-oxidant vitamins C, E, A, and beta-carotene and the minerals Zinc, Selenium, Copper, and Manganese should also be present in the basic multiple vitamin/mineral Immune System Supplement.
This type of Immune System Supplement functions as a preventative supplement and is designed for individuals who have excellent dietary habits, a healthy lifestyle, and are in good health. Lifezone's "Basic plus" provides that type of a basic Immune System Supplement and has been formulated to meet all of the basic bodies Immune System needs.
- A deficiency of Vitamin A can reduce cellular immunity, slow tissue healing, increase infection rate, lower IgA levels which affect the defense of mucous membranes.
- A deficiency of Vitamin C can decrease phagocyte function, reduce cellular protection against various microbes, slow wound healing, reduce production of interferon, and with lower levels of bioflavonoids have less anti-inflammatory protection.
- A deficiency of Vitamin E can decrease antibody production and response, and if there is a selenium deficiency will lower cell-membrane integrity.
- A deficiency of Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) impacts the ability to maintain electron balance.
- A deficiency of Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) can lower humoral immunity and increase irritation from stress.
- A deficiency of Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) can lessen cellular immunity and slow energy metabolism.
- A deficiency of Vitamin B12 can decrease lymphocyte proliferation and PMN bacteriocidal activity.
- A deficiency of Folic Acid can reduce blood cell production and may increase susceptibility to cervical cancer.
- A deficiency of Zinc can decrease T and B cell function, thymic hormones, increase infection rates and slow healing.
- A deficiency of Iron can decrease cellular immunity and neutrophil activity.
- A deficiency of Selenium along with a vitamin E deficiency can lower antibody response and increase cellular carcinogenosis.
- A deficiency of Copper can lower resistance to infection.
- A deficiency of Iodine lessens the neutrophil killing of microbial invaders.
Zinc, copper and manganese all help to reduce superoxides through the Superoxide Dismutase Enzyme. Selenium supports the production of the enzyme Glutathione Peroxidase which counteracts peroxides, stimulates immune response and protects against many toxins.
Taking a quality multiple vitamin/mineral supplement will enhance Immune System Supplement needs and provide a foundation for building good health while providing protective help to the Immune System.

ANTIOXIDANT VITAMINS/MINERALS
Antioxidants
Antioxidant vitamins and minerals are natural compounds that help protect the body from harmful free radicals. Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms that can cause damage to cells, impairing the immune system and leading to infections and various degenerative diseases such as heart disease, atherosclerosis, cancer, arthritis, cataracts, emphysema, retinopathy, etc.
The best known antioxidant vitamins and minerals are vitamin A, beta-carotene, vitamins C and E, the minerals Selenium, Zinc, Manganese, Copper, and Iron. The body uses these elements to make free radical enzyme scavengers; which neutralize the free radicals. The four most important enzymes that neutralize the free radicals are the superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme, methionine reductase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase.
These antioxidants neutralize oxygen-derived free radicals, such as superoxide radicals, hydroxyl radicals, hypochlorite radicals, hydrogen peroxide, lipid peroxides and nitric oxide. They may be formed by exposure to radiation, the sun’s rays, toxic chemicals, cigarette smoke, polluted air, industrial and household chemicals, and various metabolic processes, such as the process of breaking down stored fat molecules for use as an energy source within the body and stress.
These free radicals contain at least one unpaired electron. Electrons are negatively charged particles that usually occur in pairs, forming a chemically stable arrangement. If an electron is unpaired, another atom or molecule can easily bond with it, causing a chemical reaction. Because they join so readily with other compounds, free radicals can effect dramatic changes in the body, and they can cause a lot of oxidative damage. Each free radical may exist for only a tiny fraction of a second, but the damage it leaves behind can be irreversible, particularly damage to heart muscle cells, nerve cells, and certain immune system sensor cells.
Diet can also contribute to the formation of free radicals. A diet high in fat can increase free radical activity because oxidation occurs more readily in fat molecules than it does in carbohydrate or protein molecules. Cooking fats at high temperatures, particularly frying foods in oil, can produce large numbers of free radicals. If the diet does not contain enough antioxidant vitamins and minerals to neutralize these free radicals, they can alter the way in which the cells code genetic material. Changes in protein structure can occur as a result of errors in protein synthesis. The body’s immune system may then see this altered protein as a foreign substance and try to destroy it. The formation of mutated proteins can eventually damage the immune system and lead to leukemia, and other types of cancer, autoimmune diseases as well as many other degenerative diseases. In addition to damaging genetic material, free radicals can destroy the protective cell membranes and calcium levels can be upset.
It is important to remember that the molecular weights of enzymes are quite high. For example, the copper-zinc SOD enzyme has a molecular weight in excess of 30,000 daltons, while the manganese SOD weighs more that 60,000 daltons. Both of these structures have molecular weights that far exceed what the body and cells can absorb intact without digestion which, results in the destruction of the SOD enzyme. The maximum weight of a molecule is 1,500 daltons for cellular intact absorption. In view of this, it becomes obvious that typical SOD supplements on the market have little or no value in spite of rigorous marketing strategies. Instead, the body needs through supplementation, the antioxidant vitamins and minerals in the correct ratio, molecular weight, and combination to manufacture within the body necessary SOD enzymes to neutralize free radicals and stop their damage.
Currently 3 SOD enzymes have been identified by scientific studies that the body manufactures if the proper intake of copper, zinc, and manganese are bio-available. SOD-1 (Cytosolic, Copper/Zinc SOD) SOD-2 (Mitochondrial, Manganese SOD) SOD-3(Erythrocyte, Copper/Zinc SOD)
Lifezone’s Kela I targets the Immune System and delivers key antioxidant vitamins and minerals to the Immune System in a bio-available amino acid chelated process so that the body can manufacture SOD Enzymes. This is a patented process backed by medical and scientific research leading to over 70 patents.
With antioxidant vitamins and minerals bio-available to the Immune System, the SOD enzyme enzymatically converts toxic superoxide anion radicals to hydrogen peroxide, which is then converted to water via the action of glutathione peroxidase or catalase. If the antioxidant vitamins and minerals are not bio-available to the body, then the superoxide anion becomes an unstable reactive and therefore chemically dangerous as a free radical which initiates lipid peroxidation which results in the accumulation of water soluble fluorescent compounds in the liver, lungs, spleen, kidneys, heart and brain where irreversible damage can occur.
Antioxidant vitamins and minerals are included in Lifezone’s Basic plus. A patented multiple vitamin/mineral supplement designed to provide essential nutrients to the entire body. Both Kela I and Basic plus offer powerful nutrition in a bio-available format for maximum nutritional antioxidant protection.
