Wellness

We live in such an instant gratification society these days. We woman want everything and we want it now. Instant everything. Instant messages, email, fax, Internet. Instant food, the faster the better. Instant education, wealth. Instant medical service, diagnosis and an instant cure. Instant family. Instant travel. Instant information. Instant banking.

Right or wrong, good or bad, we want it now and when it comes to health and weight loss programs, our goals are driven by these aspirations.

Most people have unrealistic expectations when it comes to their health and weight loss. They want to simply get healthy and lose it all now so they can get back to their old ways. Well, that attitude has never worked and will never work. The truth is, the closer you stick to reality, the better you will do. Reality is that most people lose an average of .5kg – 1kg per week on diets that don’t include health threatening drugs or stimulants. Products with drugs and stimulants may cause greater weight loss temporarily, but this false win is always at the expense of your health, and will not last. In fact, these products set you up to fail.

Your first goal in achieving long term weight loss should be to establish a healthy body and a good way to start is by detoxifying your system.  If you suffer from any of the following symptoms, this could be a strong indicator that you have toxicity in your body, and this should be addressed before you embark on a weight loss routine:

- Weight gain or inability to lose weight  - High cholesterol  - Darkness around the eyes or temples  - High blood pressure  - Lack of energy  - Fatigue or shortness of breath  - Back and neck pain  - Headaches  - Emotional outbursts  - Irritability  - Loss of attention span  - Feeling old  - Itchy or dry skin  - Puffiness  - Very odorous bowel movements  -  Joint pain   - Any numbness or swelling in the hands or ankles  - Cravings  -  Severe headaches before or during your period  - Arthritis  - Gas and bloating  - Allergies  - Irritable bowel  - Chronic fatigue syndrome  - Sleeplessness  - Indigestion, heartburn and reflux

Through almost 20 years of clinical trials, Dr James Gatza, a nutritionist and chiropractor in the US, who has specialized in helping people with the treatment of chronic diseases,  has concluded that the best way to accomplish better health is with a good detoxification, cleansing and replenishment program.

He developed the Total Shake system specifically to be an effective approach to supporting metabolic detoxification.  Total Shake is a tried and true detoxification formula and a nutritional supplement for people with an array of toxicity-related conditions or symptoms or who simply want to boost their health. It is also an effective support and enabler for short and long term weight loss.

Total Shake is ‘medical food’ and is completely and totally free of stimulants, herbal stimulants, caffeines, ephedra (Ma Huang), ephedrines, pseudoephedrine, phenylpropanolamine or other “Natural Speed” chemicals. It contains no dairy, lactose, gluten, wheat, yeast, soy protein, corn protein, egg, or artificial colourants, flavourants or sweeteners, and so is an ideal source of food for those that have sensitivities to these products.

Many “detoxification” products use stimulants or drugs to produce their desired effect. These products are extremely cheap to make and very profitable for the manufacturers. They often give the promise of “instant success”. However, using stimulants or drugs is not the way to health or long-term weight loss. These products actually leave the body in a more toxic and nutrient depleted condition than before using them. So, using these is not only money down the drain, but your health suffers in the long run as well.

For example, Green tea is supposed to help us lose weight and give us instant energy “naturally.” But the truth is that it has ten times the caffeine than a cup of coffee has. Also included in this category are prescription medications that include amphetamines or derivatives of amphetamines. All of these herbs or drugs cause your body to run on empty, nervous energy instead of energy that is being supplied and rebuilt by foods, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and essential fatty acids.

Products with even the smallest amount of any of these stimulants put extreme stress on the body and can lead to serious complications later. These chemicals leave the body severely depleted in the vital nutrients needed for normal metabolism and body function. Thus, extreme weight gain and poor health is seen on the other end of any program using these.

Total Shake is easy to digest and absorb so you get the maximal benefit from its nutrients. Many other products are poorly made with fillers and cheap raw materials. The label may look good, but these products are very difficult to digest and almost impossible to absorb. Total Shake is made is such a way that it requires very little effort for the digestive system and it absorbs almost instantaneously into the body.
Total Shake is also easy to assimilate. In other words, once the nutrients are absorbed, the body has no difficulty using them. There are no fillers or additives to give the body unnecessary stress.
Total Shake contains the very highest quality rice protein found on the planet. This one factor makes Total Shake virtually unchallenged in quality because the hypo-allergenic nature and the ease of which the body can digest and absorb this vital raw material is not re-producible with any other form of protein, or even a lesser quality of rice protein.

Total Shake provides a comprehensive blend of micronutrients for cellular level detoxification. These nutrients serve two purposes:
1.    to provide the liver and intestines with the exact nutrients the liver needs to remove toxins from our bodies;
2.    to provide an abundance of the vital nutrients that will be combined with proteins, carbohydrates, fats, oxygen, etc. to create all the necessary energy in the body.  

If you’re serious about your health or truly want to lose weight and stay slim, use Total Shake. It works!
