What Is Your Weight Loss Routine Missing?

Copper is pretty cool.

In a blog a few months ago we discussed how copper prevents the growth of the MRSA virus by actually killing it. Bacteria die on copper surfaces due to an attack from the copper ions and oxygen species found in copper. Maybe we should be making our bathtubs and bathroom fixtures out of copper.

We like copper. On top of coordinating the death of MRSA it also may be an essential part of our health in small amounts.

Copper also plays a role in metabolism. It helps to move fat out of fat cells, called adipocytes, and into the blood stream for use as energy. If the body does not receive enough copper, fat builds up in fat cells and it is not utilized. It is literally a signal that turns in fat cells. The understanding of this mechanism could lead to a large contribution in treating obesity and diabetes.

Although it contributes to metabolism it is not as easy as ingesting some copper and losing weight. If you are looking for a more permanent solution to your weight and want to see results quickly you might want to check out the HCG diet.

The HCG diet is a 28 or 40 day cycle. Although the diet itself is strict you won't be missing out. I promise, I've done it. Your cravings are almost erased and you don't find yourself needing to eat as much. One of our Piermont patients lost 10 pounds in a week, two inches off her waist and three inches off her hips.

The HCG diet is very effective with patients losing up to a pound a day.

For me personally the experience not only helped me get a kick start to getting my weight under control, but it also lead me to leading a significantly healthy lifestyle in terms of my diet. And trust me, if I can stick to the diet anyone can.

If you have a special occasion coming up, vacation, or you just want a quick tune up before we get much further into the summer you might want to look into this. You won't regret it!
