			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Available in spas, <a href="http://www.wrapyourselfslim.com">body wraps</a> are a quick way to lose inches in the belly, abdominal, or stomach area. It can slenderize and contour your body shape in about an hour. And the results can last for weeks. A body wrap detoxifies and cleanses the body of toxins, in addition to reducing inches. Body wrap treatments have been offered in spas for years. Some charge as much as $200 for the treatment.  However, not everyone has the time or budget for a spa treatment. At-home body wrap kits are a cheaper alternative to expensive spa treatments. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.wrapyourselfslim.com/body-wrap-kit-order.html"><img src="http://bestwaytogetskinnyfast.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/newkit22.jpg" alt="" title="wrap kit" width="300" height="345" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-129" /></a>The results of a body wrap are instant; however caution should be taken when performing body wrap treatments. The United States Food and Drug Administration has warned against body wraps as a method of weight reduction, noting that wraps result in a loss of inches due to increased perspiration. Rapid and excessive fluid loss is dangerous and can result in severe dehydration.<br />
Popular body wrap kits detoxify, target cellulite, and result in instant weight loss, skin firming, slimming of the face and torso as well as saggy skin on the arms, body, neck and more. Detoxifying body wrap kits enhance the effectiveness of skin moisturizers, facial skin care products, and rejuvenation treatments. Every ingredient serves a specific purpose; seaweed is known for its skin tightening and slimming attributes. Body wrap kits do not claim to cure, however for centuries the power of the dead sea, seaweed and herbs have been used to pull toxins from the skin and body. These detoxifying actions are thought to help with skin conditions, disorders, body and foot order. </p>
<p>Performing a body wrap treatment at home can save over $100 per wrap. Every kit includes everything necessary to achieve spa results in the privacy of your own home. At-home <a href="http://www.wrapyourselfslim.com/body-wrap-kit/">body wrap kits</a> are easy to do; simply warm and apply the mud, wrap and wait for 45 minutes. One treatment will result in a visible loss of inches. The best results come with several applications over a 4 week period.  </p>
<p>Body wrap kits are available for purchase online. Single use kits cost as low as $30. The Max Results Body Wrap Kit, from wrapyourselfslim.com, is a 20-30 use kit which includes half a gallon of seaweed clay, 16 ounces of herbal body wrap solution, a natural bristle dry skin brush, sweat suit, tape measure and tracking sheet, slenderizing anti-cellulite gel, and detailed instructions for $140.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You probably found this site typing in something like &#8220;The Skinny Switch Secret&#8221; or &#8220;<a href="http://bestwaytogetskinnyfast.com/">Skinny Switch Secret Review</a>&#8220;, so I will assume that you wanted to learn more about this program.</p>
<p>Well, I&#8217;m so glad you landed on my blog first, because <strong>The Skinny Switch Secret is a waste of money!</strong></p>
<h2>Why You SHOULD NOT buy the Skinny Switch Secret<br />
<h2>
<p>Although I could go in to great detail here, it is not necessary.  The reason you should not buy this program is simply because although you will lose some weight initially, it will be very difficult for you to maintain that weight loss over a long period of time.</p>
<p>Simply put, why spend time and money on a weight loss program that will not work for the long term?  Do you really want to gain back year body fat after working so hard to burn it off?</p>
<p>Let me tell you from personal experience that you would never want to do this, as it is extremely frustrating and really kills your motivation.</p>
<h2>The Program That&#8217;s A MILLION Times Better Than The Skinny Switch Secret<br />
<h2>
<p>The good news is that there is a FANTASTIC weight loss program that is MUCH BETTER than the Skinny Switch Secret.  This program will not only help you lose weight much more quickly, but it will help you maintain your weight loss <em>permanently</em>.  How do I know this?  Because this is the program that I used personally with great success.<br />

Weight Loss Option Number 1</strong></p>
<p>Save your self some money and lose the weight your self!  It&#8217;s not that hard to lose weight if you are determined to succeed.  I can guarantee that you will lose weight if you combine exercise with a calorie restricted diet, and perform weekly <a href="http://www.wrapyourselfslim.com">weight loss body wraps</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You  may have heard about weight loss body wraps, but were a little skeptical.  The truth is that the right kinds of body wraps can accelerate weight loss and help you <a href="http://www.wrapyourselfslim.com/become-skinny-heres-how/">become skinny</a> in no time!</p>
<p>Here is what you need to understand though&#8230; There are two different types of weight loss body wraps that you can get. Both types target on the healing, inch loss and improving the tightness of the skin. However, the main role of each type of body wraps is quite different. </p>
<p>More on that now&#8230;<br />
<strong><br />
The Water Loss Body Wrap!</strong></p>
<p>This type of body wrap, aids inch loss by helping remove excess water from your body. These water loss body wraps can be particularly useful when you are trying to fit in to an outfit that is a little too small. However, the inch loss from a water loss wrap is not permanent!</p>
<p>Losing inches through one of these body wraps is similar to losing inches through excessive sweating from exercise.</p>
<p>Now the better type of body wrap&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>The <em>Better</em> Weight Loss Body Wrap!</strong></p>
<p>The <em>better</em> weight loss body wrap promotes inch loss by aiding the lymphatic system in the removal of stored toxins-the same toxins that enter into your system through the food you eat, as well as the environment that you live in.</p>
<p>Weight loss wraps aid lymphatic drainage,  which in turn helps get rid of toxins and accumulated fat.  It actually helps move them form your body&#8217;s cells into the capillaries, where they are then eliminated along with the system&#8217;s natural waste process.</p>
<p><strong>How To Choose The Best Body Wrap</strong></p>
<p>Although a spa body wrap is an extremely relaxing procedure, it&#8217;s also very expensive.  That&#8217;s why you should consider <a href="http://www.wrapyourselfslim.com">making your own body wraps at home</a>.</p>
<p>You can either find body wrap recipes online and mix the ingredients yourself, or you can purchase a <a href="http://www.wrapyourselfslim.com/body-wrap-kit/">body wrap kit</a> that is ready to go as soon as you are.</p>
<p>Whatever option you decide to choose, it&#8217;s important that the ingredients in the formula that you choose contain high quality organic ingredients.  Although liquid based body wrap solutions work, if your main goal is weight loss you should consider using clay based formulas.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is <strong>The Skinny Switch Secret</strong> the key to getting slim in 2010?  </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s be honest&#8230; When it comes to weight loss programs there really are tons of them out there to choose from.  They most important thing to remember is that they will all work to a certain extent, as long as you are willing to work hard and commit to them.</p>
<h2>Two Weight Loss Programs That Work</h2>
<p>If you are really serious about losing weight, two great weight loss programs to look at are &#8220;<a href="http://www.wrapyourselfslim.com/blog/every-other-day-diet-review/">The Every Other Day Diet</a>&#8221; by Jon Benson, and &#8220;<a href="http://bestwaytogetskinnyfast.com">The Skinny Switch Secret</a>&#8220;.</p>
<p>Both <a href="http://www.wrapyourselfslim.com/blog/every-other-day-diet-review/">The EODD</a> and <strong>Skinny Switch</strong> are good, because they are different (in a good way), and will actually work if you follow through with them.</p>
<p>You see, what may be holding your back from your weight loss goals is that your body needs a change.  If you don&#8217;t drastically change your weight loss program every once in a while, your body will become very stubborn, and losing body fat will become increasingly difficult.  This is why a new weight loss program is important&#8230; It literally &#8220;shocks&#8221; your body into losing weight.  </p>
<p>I can guarantee you that if you have only been using traditional weight loss programs in the past, switching to something completely different liked The Skinny Switch Secret or <a href="http://www.wrapyourselfslim.com/blog/every-other-day-diet-review/">Jon Benson&#8217;s EODD</a>, will really &#8220;shock&#8221; your body and accelerate weight loss in the new year.</p>
<p>All the best in 2010!</p>

<p>By MELISSA HEALY<br />
LOS ANGELES TIMES</p>
<p>The makers of natural weight-loss products use a range of plant and animal extracts, vitamins and minerals that they promise will speed metabolism, suppress appetite, make you feel full and convert fat into muscle. Some of these ingredients are sold individually, but the best sellers of the weight-loss category are often diverse and constantly changing combinations touted as &#8220;proprietary formulations.&#8221;</p>
<p>The labels rarely clarify the contents. Where details and dosages are provided at all, they are frequently presented as a mix of Latin plant names, trademarked monikers for a company&#8217;s own mix of ingredients and, often, invented words that sound scientific but mean nothing to chemists or pharmacologists. Hydroxycut&#8217;s &#8220;Hardcore,&#8221; for instance, touts its &#8220;norepidrol intensity focus blend&#8221; as an aid to focus and attention. Another supplement, TheraStress, declares that its active compound of &#8220;adaptogens&#8221; helps fight weight gain brought on by stress.</p>
<p>The following are among those ingredients most frequently used in these formulas, along with what&#8217;s known about their possible effects.</p>
<p>Caffeine<br />
Seldom acknowledged on the labels of dietary supplements promoted for weight loss, caffeine is almost uniformly their key ingredient. Its sources are many and varied: green tea extract (or Camellia sinensis), guarana, yerba mate and kola nut to name a few.</p>
<p>Consumer Lab&#8217;s 2005 review of dietary supplements for weight loss measured caffeine levels in two popular weight-loss products still on the market — Zantrex-3 (&#8220;The Ultimate Ephedra Replacement&#8221;) and Xenadrine EFX. Zantrex-3 was found to have 1,223 milligrams of caffeine in a day&#8217;s recommended dosage — equivalent to 30 cans of cola. Xenadrine EFX was found to have less — 448 milligrams — but still 1 1/2 times the caffeine associated with adverse effects such as heart palpitations and sleep disruption.</p>
<p>In studies, high doses of caffeine have been shown to decrease appetite, but the effect doesn&#8217;t last long. The chemical also acts as a diuretic, prompting the release of retained water, which leads to short-term weight loss.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is some evidence&#8221; that caffeine can contribute to temporary weight loss, says Barbara Corkey, an obesity researcher at Boston University who directs the Boston Obesity Nutrition Research Center.</p>
<p>&#8220;What caffeine can do is stimulate lipolysis, the breakdown of lipids, and that should, in theory, have a beneficial effect. But in practice it&#8217;s useless: The body is very smart about compensating for that &#8230; so it&#8217;s not a long-lasting, permanent effect.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bitter orange<br />
After the FDA banned the sale of ephedra and other products containing ephedrine in 2004, marketers of dietary supplements for weight loss widely proclaimed extracts from the peel of bitter orange (Citrus aurantium) &#8220;the next ephedra.&#8221; They might have been more accurate than they intended.</p>
<p>Bitter orange (also called Seville orange and sour orange) is touted as an energy-enhancing fat burner, boosting the metabolism and exercise endurance, as was ephedrine. There is some evidence that, like ephedrine, it may cause slightly more weight loss than diet and exercise alone. Like ephedrine, it is frequently blended in formulations with large doses of caffeine.</p>
<p>And the active ingredients in bitter orange extract — synephrine and octopamine — are related to ephedrine. Synephrine was used in Europe for 30 years as a treatment for mild asthma. As a result, says State University of New York at Stony Brook microbiologist Dr. Arthur Grollman, a large body of evidence indicates that synephrine raises heart rate and blood pressure, which can lead to heart attack and stroke.</p>
<p>The National Institutes of Health&#8217;s National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine says there &#8220;have been reports of fainting, heart attack and stroke in healthy people after taking bitter orange supplements alone or combined with caffeine.&#8221; It adds, &#8220;there is currently little evidence that bitter orange is safer to use than ephedra.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hydroxycitric acid<br />
The ingredient from which the Hydroxycut name was drawn is a derivative of the Malabar tamarind, or Garcinia cambogia. Used in traditional medicine to treat high cholesterol, it is touted as an agent that interferes with fat metabolism and possibly suppresses appetite. Its prospects were considered sufficiently promising in the 1960s that the pharmaceutical giant Hoffman-LaRoche committed significant funds to develop it as a possible weight-loss pill. The company dropped it, however, when rat studies showed that, at doses that appeared effective at reducing fat deposits, hydroxycitrate caused &#8220;potent testicular atrophy and toxicity.&#8221;</p>
<p>Conjugated linoleic acid<br />
Frequently included in products that promise to help dieters transform fat into lean muscle mass, CLA is a polyunsaturated fat found naturally in milk and meat and derived from the oil of sunflower (Helianthus annuus) and safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) seeds. One product that touts its power — Phosphacore — says that Carthamus tinctorius &#8220;may work to safely break up and flush away unhealthy adipose (fat) cells.&#8221;</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no good evidence that that&#8217;s so in humans.</p>
<p>Sometimes recommended to patients with high overall cholesterol levels, CLA also appears to lower HDL (&#8220;good&#8221;) cholesterol. And while patients with diabetes were once thought to benefit from taking CLA supplements, further studies have not borne that out. In fact, there is some evidence that for obese people, taking in too much CLA can contribute to a prediabetic state.</p>
<p>Cortisol blockers<br />
Tinctures of golden root (Rhodiola rosea) or other herbs, such as rose root, are marketed as weight-loss aids on the argument that stress — which causes the release of the hormone cortisol — can lead to weight gain and, particularly, to the accumulation of belly fat. In 2007, the Federal Trade Commission charged the marketers of two products — CortiSlim and CortiStress — with making false and unsubstantiated claims about their product&#8217;s weight-loss properties, leading to a multimillion dollar settlement. But many products still make the claim.</p>
<p>There is no evidence that blocking cortisol causes weight loss or that herbal remedies lower cortisol levels, according to the Mayo Clinic&#8217;s Katherine Zeratsky, a dietitian. In fact, the accumulation of fat from high levels of cortisol appears to happen only in cases where there is an underlying medical issue, such as Cushing&#8217;s disease, or as a side effect of certain drugs.</p>
<p>Antioxidants<br />
Glutathione, green tea extracts and, more recently, the Brazilian acai berry are among the many sources of antioxidants marketed in supplements as an aid to weight loss. In test tubes, antioxidants called flavenoids and phenolic acids have been found to cut the production of triglycerides in mouse fat cells.</p>
<p>But their weight-loss properties in humans haven&#8217;t been rigorously tested yet. Antioxidants are thought to reduce cell damage that can lead to cancer growth, which also leads to their marketing as an aid to detoxifying diets.</p>
<p>Research suggests that glutathione taken orally is not well absorbed across the gastrointestinal tract. In a study in which very large doses of oral glutathione were administered to humans, researchers concluded it was not possible to increase circulating glutathione to levels that could have any clinical benefit.</p>
<p>Extracts of green tea and the acai berry, at least, might differ from glutathione in that there is evidence they are taken in through the gut and do make it into the bloodstream. But whether it helps to neutralize toxins or fats once there remains a question.</p>
<p>Chitosan<br />
The chemically cleansed product of grinding up the shells of shrimps, crabs and lobsters, chitosan is a powder that has been used in the water-purification industry for years: Sprinkled on top of holding tanks, it binds to lipids, or fats. Fats and oils can thus be skimmed off easily. This has led to the claim that supplements containing chitosan have amazing &#8220;fat magnet&#8221; qualities, absorbing dietary fat before it can be absorbed into the gut and flushing it away. In addition, chitosan is touted as a source of fiber, which might contribute to sensations of fullness when consumed with a meal.</p>
<p>But three human clinical trials found no difference in weight or serum cholesterol levels between subjects taking chitosan supplements and those taking a placebo after three to eight weeks.</p>
<p>Hoodia<br />
A succulent plant native to the Kalahari Desert in Africa, hoodia (Hoodia gordonii) is chewed and eaten by San Bushmen to reduce their hunger and thirst during long hunts. This back story has raised hoodia to mythic levels in the world of weight-loss supplement marketing.</p>
<p>In a September 2004 study published in Brain Research, scientists injected p57, thought to be the active ingredient in hoodia, into a region of rats&#8217; brains thought to govern appetite. They found reduced activity there.</p>
<p>In 1998, the drug maker Pfizer purchased the right to develop p57 for $21 million but abandoned the quest for a hoodia drug in 2003. Unilever, which makes Slim-Fast meal-replacement products, recently dropped plans to fortify its products with hoodia.</p>
<p>A former Pfizer scientist has warned that in extracting p57 from hoodia, researchers at Pfizer found that some components could not be removed that had &#8220;unwanted effects&#8221; on the liver. In an April 26, 2005, letter to the New York Times, scientist Jasjit S. Bindra warned that dieters &#8220;should be wary of using&#8221; hoodia until its safety has been better established.</p>
<p>Iovate&#8217;s voluntary recall of Hydroxycut products, notably, did not include its hoodia formulation — an indication that the FDA has not found evidence of serious danger.</p>
<p>Aristolochic acid<br />
Wild ginger (Asarum canadense) is among a family of plants widely used in Chinese and traditional medicine for stomach ailments, to restore a woman&#8217;s energy after the birth of a child, to treat cough, allergy and breathing problems, and in some weight-loss formulas.</p>
<p>Aristolochic acid, says Grollman, &#8220;is one of the most potent human carcinogens ever known.&#8221; Declaring the substance to be both cancer-causing and toxic to human kidneys, the FDA in 2001 advised the U.S. dietary-supplements industry not to manufacture products using the chemical and banned its importation. But a 2003 letter to the FDA from the Carcinogenic Potency Project at the University of California, Berkeley identified 112 herbal products still available online that contain, or were likely to contain, aristolochic acid.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, so I just got even more details about the new <a href="http://bestwaytogetskinnyfast.com">Skinny Switch Secret </a>diet program and I wanted to share it with everyone in a clear and concise way.</p>
<p>When you simply reduce calories or starve yourself, you could be burning muscle instead of fat. Muscle is “metabolically active tissue” that burns fat 24 hours a day.</p>
<p>On Rob’s plan, you’ll eat exactly the right foods in the right combinations to feed your muscle and starve your fat. By following his program, you burn fat faster than when you started.</p>
<p>You kick-start your metabolism every time you restart this three-day practice. Your body’s fat-burning capacity is made as great as possible for dramatic results!</p>
<p>If you have ever gone on a diet and seen a reduction on the scale, but your outfits still fit the same – you more than likely just lost muscle, not weight. </p>
