Energy Intensifier Advanced Fat Burner Formulated for maximum results Take your workout to the next level!Ephedra Extract Ephedra Extract is a herbal supplement designed to trigger fast fat loss. Ephedra Extract acts as a general stimulant on many parts of the body at the same time and is most often used as a CNS (central nervous system) stimulant, as a decongestant and as an appetite suppressant in a wide variety of successful weight loss products. Ephedra Extract has been used for over 2,000 years to treat bronchial asthma cold & flu, chills, lack of perspiration, headache, nasal congestion, aching joints and bones, cough & wheezing, and edema. In Western terms, Ephedra Extract is considered to have diaphoretic, diuretic, central nervous system stimulating and anti-asthmatic properties. Caffeine AnhydrousCaffeine is the most popular stimulant on the Planet. Caffeine acts to increase mental alertness and neurologically provide the surge you need to maximize your activities. Caffeine affects the CNS causing more alertness and allowing for more intense focus. It is highly effective as a thermogenic for weight loss and energy levels. The chemical structure of caffeine is very similar to that of adenine. It increases the potency of aspirin or other analgestics. Citrus AurantiumCitrus Aurantium ( Synephrine ) functions in three specific ways: it burns fat, increases physical performance, and helps build lean muscle mass. Citrus Aurantium is a stimulant, similar to caffeine and ephedrine. It is thought to have similar effects in terms of providing an energy boost, suppressing appetite and increasing metabolic rate leading to the burning or more calories. Citrus Aurantium is used to activate the adrenaline system without the stimulatory effect posed by Ma Huang.Phenylethylamine HCL Phenylethylamine HCL maintains and promote mental alertness, focus, mood and concentration. Phenylethylamine may be a neuromodulator of aminergic synapses while also promoting energy, and elevating mood. White Willow Bark White Willow Bark has been used successfully as a natural alternative to synthetic (asprin) salicylic products. White willow also has the ability to stay in the body longer than synthetic salicin products. White willow has been shown to be an effective addition to widely used herbal weight-loss supplements. Very effective when combined with caffeine and ephedrine ( ECA Stack). Theobrom |

The Doctor’s Guide to Weight Loss Surgery $3.48 Among the 55 percent of Americans who are overweight is a group of about five million who suffer from clinically severe obesity, also known as morbid obesity. This condition is a chronic disease associated with diabetes, high blood pressure, breathing problems and/or arthritis that can lead to further complications and death if not properly managed. Because of the high failure rate associated with dietary treatment, weight loss surgery, also known as "bariatric surgery," is the most effective method for obtaining sustained weight loss in severely obese people. However, misunderstanding and apprehension about its safety and effectiveness still abound. Louis J. Flancbaum, MD, Chief, Division of Bariatric Surgery at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York City, a nationally recognized authority on the surgical treatment of obesity, has teamed up with former weight loss surgery patient, Erica Manfred, and freelance writer Deborah Biskin, to create the first comprehensive guide for the layperson, The Doctor’s Guide to Weight Loss Surgery: How to Make The Decision That Could Save Your Life. This personal and compelling in-depth exploration of the topic explains: · How the severity of obesity is graded and who is a candidate for weight loss surgery. · The types of operations used for obesity and the risks and benefits of each. · How weight loss surgery differs from liposuction and what kind of results can be expected. · How to choose a surgeon and a follow-up program. · Steps to improve the chances that your insurance company or third party payer will pay for the surgery. · The entire process of weight loss surgery, from pre-surgical evaluation, to the in-hospital experience, to what to watch out for in the months and years after surgery. The book also includes detailed illustrations of all the surgical procedures, nutritional guidance for post-ops, including gourmet high-protein recipes, online and print resources, and an extensive chapter of frequently asked questions. The Doctor’s Guide to Weight Loss Surgery explodes a number of myths about this controversial procedure: Myth: Weight loss surgery and stomach stapling are the same thing. Reality: Stomach stapling refers to an older, simpler and less effective type of surgery, called gastroplasty, which often resulted in unhealthy eating patterns and staple line disruptions. The newer operation, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), partitions the stomach and rearranges the intestine. It encourages healthier eating, has a higher rate of permanent weight loss and rarely causes staples to pop. Myth: Weight loss surgery is extremely dangerous. Reality: Morbid obesity is extremely dangerous. Obese people are at higher risk for any major surgical procedure. Despite their higher risk, however, the incidence of death related to weight loss surgery is 1%–similar to open heart surgery. Weight loss surgery is no more dangerous for a morbidly obese person than any other … |
