Discovered: A Powerful Method to Lose Weight Fast and Keep Your Muscle
Dr. Gregory Ellis, noted author of several cutting edge weight loss books, has opened a weight loss clinic designed to jump start your weight loss. The program creates rapid and safe weight loss.
* Men lose 4-7 pounds per week and women 3-5
* The program that Dr. Ellis is using was developed more than 20 years ago
* It’s based on research first conducted at Harvard
This research looked at the effects of a dietary weight loss regimen that was called a Protein Sparing Modified Fast.
By providing just the right amount of protein of the highest quality, weight loss consists mostly of body fat while precious muscle tissue is spared.
Both carbohydrates and fats are restricted which reduces the release of insulin from the pancreas. Insulin is a fat storage hormone and converts dietary carbohydrates into body fat.
* Helps to maintain muscle mass
* Promotes fat loss
* Tones and revitalizes skin
* Supports cellulite reduction
* Promotes vitality and energy
* Naturally suppresses your appetite
* Provides a rest for an overworked pancreas
The program uses meal replacement products including bars, soups, and powders. These can be made into delicious puddings and drinks. There’s a large variety of more than 45 gourmet foods for you to choose from each day.
For dinner you’ll consume real food such as your choice of beef, chicken, pork, or any other protein-based food. You can also eat several servings of vegetables each day and you are allowed unlimited consumption of lettuce.
The most important aspects of the program are:
* We take you by the hand, the program tells you exactly what to eat and when
* Personal coaching by Dr. Ellis and his coaches
* The foods are provided only to professional healthcare providers such as Dr. Ellis
* Dr. Ellis has an online body composition and body analysis system that he developed and you can only get this when you become a member of his clinic
* Dr. Ellis will show you your ideal weight
* You’ll learn about how to control your weight
* You’ll rapidly lose your belly fat
Why Should You Follow Dr. Ellis’s Program?
We now know that the body converts carbohydrates to body fat. Most programs today still follow the unworkable low-fat eating program which means it’s high in carbohydrates. This is bad for many reasons including the loss of muscle tissue, hunger, and rapid regain of lost weight.
Another misconception today is that there are “good” carbs and “bad” carbs. This idea is total nonsense and several of the leading weight loss plans such as Nutri-System and The South Beach Diet are based on “good” carbs and “bad” carbs.
Because the majority of medical and scientific experts still believe that fat is bad and carbs are good, people consume a large amount of sugar every day. Fruits and whole grain bread products turn to sugar in the blood and are just as bad for your health as sugar, candy, and other “junk” foods.
When you consume just 4 grams of carbs that’s like eating a teaspoon of sugar!
The program is divided into four phases and phase 1 is used until you get close to your ideal weight.
The manufacturer of the gourmet foods does not allow online sales so you’ll have to follow the program as a member of Dr. Ellis’s Weight Loss Clinic.
The costs include a one-time administration fee of $195.00 plus the cost of the food products and the supplements.
Call 610-459-0200 for more information about the program. This consultation will cost $50.00 and is payable by MC or Visa. The fee will be deducted from the admin fee when you join the program.

Healthy Eating: It’s Time for a Revolution
October 13, 2009 by Dr. Greg Ellis
Filed under Health Issues, Healthy Diet
How is it that the vast majority of people are talking about a form of eating called Healthy Eating? It’s a universal expression echoed by almost everyone. The idea has rolled over the population like a massive juggernaut.
The definition is pretty much the same regardless of the source:
- the government
- individuals
- dietitians
- doctors
- universities
- groups and organizations
They all preach basically the same approach. Healthy eating is a diet that is:
- low in fat
- angled toward vegetarianism
- high in grains, fruits, and vegetables
- if meat is included it must be lean
- reduce the intake of junk food including sugar
The main scourge of healthy eating say the proponenets would be the consumption of animal fat, particularly saturated animal fat.
How is it that the healthy eating diet evolved? We’re told that science has proven that fat is bad for us; that fat and cholesterol are the primary cause of heart disease.
The media leads in the distribution of these healthy eating messages. All the celebrities champion the healthy eating mantra. We’re told by celebrity Drs., such as Dr. Oz, what healthy eating is all about: eat broccoli every day. Dr. Oz is a surgeon as I understand it and I wonder when he ever had the time to truly search the studies on nutritional biochemistry.
Worse yet, if even he did, studies are often biased, misinterpreted, nnd accepted for publication only if they meet the requirements of a particular belief system such as fat and cholesterol cause heart disease.
This is exactly what happened during the last sixty years. Our healthy eating of today grew from a belief system, from an agenda, and much like a disease, it infested our society, our culture, and the world’s culture until it became one of the most powerful dogmas in all of dietary history.
Two million years of nutritional anthropology was just trashed to create the notion of modern-day healthy eating. We can’t afford 100 years of so-called science to quash 2,000,000 years of human experience.
Plus, the science is clear and has been so for more than fifty years, it’s just that few read the real science and allowed belief systems to rule the day.
Since the popularity of a carbohydrate-restricted diet soared in 2002, a group or researchers has show that it is far superior to the low-fat diet and prevents or eliminates many degenerative disease states.
The Revolution is upon us but the Establishment will not cave because it must defend its belief systems. Thomas Kuhn showed this in his book The Structure of Scientific Revolution. There he spelled out how futile it is to ask science to look at new ideas.
This Revolution must be led by the people, people who really care about their health and don’t want to any longer be held captive by the Establishment.
What’s the Outcome of Consuming this Dietary Regimen?
Diseases of civilization are rampant:
- diabetes
- osteoporosis
- heart disease
- cancer
- neurological disorders
- inflammatory diseases
- obesity
The list is far longer, yet on and on we go, allowing the medical establishment to look for the causes of these diseases as if we did not already know the answers. But no one wants to change their thinking because they say it’s already figured out.
The experts’ heads are stuck in the sand.
Here’s a term everyone must become familiar with: Glycation. This is the primary cause of all of these diseases, not fat and cholesterol. I’ve written about it on this site and it’s my goal to help people realize that they are killing themselves by consuming a high carbohydrate diet.
And this includes all the “healthy” whole grains, fruits, and many vegetables that people consume everyday.
People, come to understand the facts and save yourself from the carbohydrate scourge. I’m ushering in a new era that places the blame for many diseases on the healthy eating regimen that exists today. The emphasis was that carbs were involved in obesity, not disease. I want to change this and shift the focus to diseases cauaed by consuming carbohydrates, even so-called “healthy” carbohydrates such as fruit.
Knowledge About Herbs Has Increased Exponentially
June 24, 2009 by Dr. Greg Ellis

The Use of Herbs is Huge in Alternative Medicine
One of the earliest publications about plants for healing dates to 2800 B.C.
This document was written by a Chinese medical practitioner and lists 366 plant drugs used to heal various ailments.
Early Chinese medical philosophy argues that disease develops when there’s a disturbance of the balance between yin and yang, the two polar opposites that make up the core theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Medicinal plants:
- help to increase resistance in the body
- eliminate disease-causing agents
- restore balance between yin and yang
Centuries of Observation, Practice, and Experience are the Framework of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Medicinal plants were classified according to their properties and actions. These properties guide the practitioner in his use of them.
Each medicinal plant is classified according to four properties:
- cold
- hot
- cool
- warm
The use of medicinal plants and acupuncture are the foundation of the treatment for health problems in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Interestingly, acupuncturists and plant prescribers in Chinese medicine don’t talk about specific diseases as do doctors who practice western medicine.
The Practice of Using Medicinal Plants in the United States was Based on What Primitive People Learned
Samuel Thomson (1769-1843) devised a set of plant recipes used and known to native U. S. Indians. He patented his system and sold the rights to would-be-practitioners.
“Thomasonianism” was used by one to five million people in the United States in the mid- to late-1800’s.
Later in that century, the study of plants became more “scientific” with the development of “Eclecticism” and the opening of the Cincinnatti Eclectic Medical Institute. This remained open until 1935.
Both of the above practices were theoretically based on vitalism, described as:
- adhererance to the idea that the body has a “life force”
- plant users agreed that internal problems are represented by visible symptoms
- the theory urged the physician to rely on his sense-perception in prescribing the plant
- this philosophic position was and is in direct contrast to the vision of conventional medicine
Today, Unlike the United States, Europe — Particularly Germany and Italy — Aggressively Study Plant Medicine
The German Commission E Monographs were first released in 1998. In Germany, 600-700 different plant medicines are sold, singly and in combination. About 70% of physicians prescribe medicinal plants, whereas in the U. S., physicians know little about them and rely on pharmaceutical drugs.
It was in 1976 that the Federal Republic of Germany defined plant remedies in the same manner as other drugs — they categorized herbs for:
- preventing disease
- alleviating suffering
- correcting physical injury
- for symptoms of illness
- to influence the nature, state, or function of the body
One of the Most Fascinating Outcomes of the Study of Herbs is the Understanding of “Adaptogenic” Plants
Most herbs are used for specific ailments, but the most powerful use of herbs is for general purposes. For example, Echinacea (purple coneflower) is used as a general immune system builder.
Russian research has contributed to much of what we know about “adaptogens,” which have the capacity to increase the whole body’s resistance to germs, stress, cold, and mental challenges.
The characteristics of an adaptogenic herb are:
- it must be absolutely harmless
- it must act broadly in the body
- it must increase resistance
- its action must be non-specific
- its action must be normalizing and stabilizing
So, as you experiment with herbs, you’ll receive the best results by using adaptogenic herbs, whose actions have been charted only since World War II.

Cholesterol and Heart Disease Exposed

Small Study Shows that Red Yeast Rice May Lower Cholesterol
On and on it goes, the great medical con job that cholesterol causes heart disease.
The fat theory of heart disease, first proposed in 1953 by Dr. Ancel Keys, began the charade that medicine still buys into to this day.
Despite many published studies that are simply ignored, medical doctors still tout the message that cholesterol clogs our arteries and causes heart disease.
The search for ways to lower cholesterol continue to flourish. How are all these doctors missing the fact that cholesterol is not a bad thing? The answer is simple: they bought into a belief system and simply ignore and are unaware of the science that disputes the current beliefs.
Two Hundred Million Prescriptions for Statin Drugs Written in 2008
But these drugs cause a lot of people a lot of problems such as muscle pain.
The fascinating thing about all this is that the “ideal” level of blood cholesterol was lowered from the normal 220-240 mg/dl to less than 200 in 1985.
Today, they’re at it again, wanting to lower it even further. Cholesterol levels are not under your control, they’re automatically controlled by your body just like temperature. So the only way to lower it is to take drugs!
So now, they have to increase the dosage of the drug to reach these new lower values. What’s going to be the outcome? More drug intolerance and side effects.

Carbohydrates Rather than Fat Are Harming Our Health
June 3, 2009 by Dr. Greg Ellis
Filed under Carbohydrates, Cause of Diabetes, Glycation
Today’s Leading Opinions Deal More in “Beliefs” Rather Than Scientific “Facts”
Eating carb-containing foods in large quantities is actually hazardous to your health. These scientific truths were uncovered in 1987 with the introduction of the Glycation Theory of Disease.
This was about 30 years after cholesterol and fat were blamed for heart disease and other diseases. That was a major blunder.
Here, in the 21st century, the dangers of this food becomes apparent:
- carbs digest and become glucose or blood sugar
- the outcome of glucose pouring into the blood is that the body rapidly converts glucose to body fat
- obesity continues to grow and is tied tightly to an ever-increasing intake of carbohydrates
- medical and health authorities shouted down Dr. Robert Atkins
Recent research since 2002 confirms the optimizing effects of the low-carb lifesyle:
- Dr. Atkins made many mistakes in his understanding of carbohydrate metabolism but knew they were bad
- the limited view that carbs were only implicated in weight control obscured many other dangers
- it’s only now that we’re learning that carbs increase cholesterol
- fat eating, in a carb-restricted diet, lowers cholesterol
We Need to Watch Our Carbohydrate Intake
Today, people talk about “good” carbs and “bad” carbs: refined vs. unrefined. All carbs are the same; they all digest to glucose and it’s the glucose that’s the bad actor because it binds to tissue proteins and becoming a glycated protein.
This is where the trouble begins as one glycated protein binds to another and your body’s tissues are glued together. All diseases of aging, all degenerative diseases arise from this glycation process.
Be very careful about your carbohydrate intake.
