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.

Other Problems With the High-Carbohydrate Diet

The High-Carbohydrate Diet is Associated with All Kinds of Bad Effects
The high-carbohydrate diet that’s in vogue today doesn’t represent a balanced diet.
Dr. Jan Karlsson, one of the original developers of the carbohydrate-loading regimen so popular among current-day athletes, has argued vehemently against a high-carbohydrate diet as a regular, everyday regimen.
He claims that such a diet is only acceptable for two or, at most, four days within the framework of the carbohydrate and muscle glycogen loading program.
Of course, if the body was fat-adapted, there would be no need to ever do glycogen loading, but this point has been thoroughly missed by everyone.
The carbohydrate-enriched diet leading to muscle glycogen loading has been widely accepted since the late 1960’s as an important way to prepare for endurance sports and training.
The dietary program, however, was to be applied only occasionally. Unfortunately, it was developed into a long-term treatment program and was used, not only by elite cross-country skiers and long-distance runners, but also by professional athletes in many different sports.
Even International Organizations such as the International Olympic Committee Medical Commission Recommended the Use of the High-Carbohydrate Diet for Athletes
Dr. Karlsson has stated that such long-term dietary regimens are synonymous with malnutrition. It has been shown that the intake of lipophilic (fat-loving) nutrients such as vitamin E is linearly related to fat intake.
Other risks are associated with such an extreme high-carbohydrate diet if followed for a long time. In fact, this dietary regimen means that individuals may actually sacrifice their own structural lipids (fats) for energy needs.
Vitamin Q and vitamin E are significant factors for the health of white blood cells; they’re the cells that are richest in antioxidants and, consequently, enhance the immune system. Significant immune system suppression is a possible result of low dietary intake of fats and the consequent use of one’s own fat stores as an energy source.
Athletes, with an extremely high intake of carbohydrates and, hence, subsequent impaired intake of lipid-based or lipophilic nutrients, have been in a situation referred to as the Carbohydrate Syndrome or the Carbohydrate Trap.
It seems reasonable to assume that this condition might:
- reduce free radical elimination and lead to damage in muscles
- increase cell injury
- inhibit the body’s inflammation and healing process in response to injury and infection
- hard-training athletes, who follow a high-carbohydrate diet, will suffer from overuse injuries due to a decreased ability to repair and rebuild damaged tissues
- vegetarians and others who consume a low-fat diet are also at serious risk for the same type of damage
People Who Have Extreme Energy Needs, such as Athletes and Those Involved in Manual Labor, Must be Very Careful About the Sources of Their Daily Food Intake
If foods rich in carbohydrates come to serve as their primary source of energy, their risk of suffering from an insufficient supply of nutrients will increase.
Fats contain many of the essential nutrients we need each day to maintain our health. As I have proposed for many years, the low-fat diet is dangerous.
Sports medicine authorities have just recently recognized the existence of the Carbohydrate Trap or fat-phobia. The Carbohydrate Trap represents a stage of malnutrition imposed by unprofessional advisors and followed by unwitting, unknowledgeable clients.
This is one of the major difficulties in nutrition today: the emphasis on the low-fat diet in contrast to a diet that maintains an adequate fat intake.
How long will it take until our medical and scientific “experts” recognize the folly of their recommendation of low-fat eating?
