From The Desk of The Editor:
It is only natural and human to take the easy way out by looking for a magic pill that will cause you to lose weight while you eat whatever you want and don’t need to exercise. Some supplement sceptic authors argue that if magic pills would be effective, everybody would look like a Greek god or goddess. They often intimidate their audience with statements like „not only are weight loss supplements ineffective but also can be extremely dangerous”. Such sweeping generalizations are simplistic and don’t use anybody. Although we are living in the age of article spinning software, we are still responsible for the content we publish. Fairness towards the reader, especially people seeking for solutions for their health issues such as obesity requires a certain amount of objectivity. Weight loss supplements may be ineffective if we take them instead of a healthy lifestyle. However, we still can take the easy way out if we consciously use weight loss aids as our companions on the way to healthier foods and regular exercise. Weight loss products can be also dangerous if we have no possibility to discover their origin and the production procedure. Nevertheless, if we know the product formulator, who gives his brand his name and professional reputation, we are on the sure side. This is the case with the new weight loss formula, Primal Lean. Its inventor is Dr. Al Sears, world-famous physician, nutritionist, certified fitness expert and anti-aging researcher from California. He knows everything about obesity and thousands of his patients regained their healthy weight at his clinic. In one of his newsletters, he describes that many clients despite his diet and exercise advice were asking for a supplement that makes their fat loss efforts easier. Doctor Sears, a passionate mountaineer is always searching for natural herbs growing at the most hidden places of the world. After discovering the wonderful omega 3 treasure called Sacha Inchi in Peru and offering us the gift of Brazilian guaranine in order to stay in alert without coffee, about 2 years ago he found Irvingia gabonensis, a weight balancing plant growing in Western Africa. Irvingia is well-known for its ability to lower cholesterol because of its high fiber content. According to www.webmd.com “Some research suggests that Irvingia gabonensis seeds might also affect fat cells, which might reduce fat cell growth and increase the breakdown of fats.” Irvingia is one of four ingredients of Primal Lean. The second ingredient is Garcinia cambogia, used frequently in weight loss supplements. It is a pumpkin-shaped fruit native to Indonesia. The mechanism for garcinia’s weight loss ability is still being understood; but is believed to be through inhibiting the body’s ability to convert carbohydrates to fats. The third key nutrient in Primal Lean is fucoxanthin, an extract from brown algae. Some metabolic and nutritional studies indicate that fucoxanthin promotes fat burning within fat cells in white adipose tissue by increasing the expression of thermogenin. The fourth ingredient is chromium, in the form of chromium picolinate. According to www.wikipedia.com “The long known influence of chromium uptake on diabetes conditions suggested the positive influence of dietary supplements containing chromium (III) also on healthy persons. For this reason, dietary supplement or slimming aid usually contain chromium”. Searching the Internet for information about the ingredients of Primal Lean, not only information overload but also an extremely disquieting phenomenon, namely the fact that you can at the same time read very positive and very negative statements about the same product motivated me to rely on my own experience. It is impossible to dig deep enough to know who writes in whose interest. I started Primal Lean in July 2009 when it was a brand new product. As an affiliate of Dr. Sears I was biased already before the start. 3 years earlier his book “The Doctors’ Heart Cure” along with the supplements Accel and Omeganol changed our life to the better, saving literally the life of a family member. The main experience is wonderful: Primal Lean stopped my steady hunger within hours. It was the first time since months that my focus lost the kitchen and everything that has to do with food and cravings. I literally forgot to eat lunch and felt even at 5 pm no hunger. Only repeated questions of family members regarding dinner reminded me of cooking responsibilities. A big glass of water before dinner with 1 capsule Primal Lean made it again: I could cut my dinner to half size (our dog was really happy). The second positive effect was optimal stool consistency. I bet, every obese man and woman find this worth gold too. The high protein - low carb diet (fish and meet with salads, eggs, cheese) helped much as well. During the first month, I could lose 8 pounds, which for me, as a thyroiditis sufferer is a fantastic result. As a nice surprise my blood sugar level improved so significantly that after some borderline test results every new test was within the normal range. After consultation with my family doctor, I could avoid taking prescription drugs. After about 6 weeks my body got used to Primal Lean and the effects started getting weaker. I simply took the double serving size (4 capsules a day), and it was for the next 6 weeks OK again. During 3 months, I lost 24 pounds. The big kitchen revolution (cooking with coconut oil, eating the high-protein and low carb diet) and the regular one hour walk with our dog rose my energy level and gifted me with joy and super performance. What was the contribution of Primal Lean to my new weight (which is still far from being optimal) I took and take it as is, as a supplement that has a certain function for a certain time. It was clear from the beginning that Primal Lean does not make my exercises for me, and it will not cook healthy food (plenty of (purified and with minerals enriched) water, fruits, veggies, fish, meat, eggs and other good sources of protein ) instead of me. Primal Lean is not meant to take the place of vital supplements (multivitamin, Coq10 in the bets bioavailable form called Accel, probiotics, digestive enzymes, etc.) either.
Primal lean is “just” a creditable, faithful accompanist on the way towards a new, healthy lifestyle that works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by stopping hunger and cravings. In order not to get our body used to it, we can alternate Primal Lean and Brazilian Slim tea. Proper exercise (PACE, invented also by Dr. Sears) is an excellent “supplement” to Primal Lean. The book is seemingly about fitness, however it is about moving. Moving and its synonyms motion, movement, action, activity, change, mobility, kinesis are in reality the synonym of life. Lack of moving is the synonym of death. So, if you are dreaming about a supplement that does not require motion, you forget about life. Additionally you forget the wonderful joy caused by endorphins. Hopefully in some month I’ll rich my dream weight (weight loss is not a horse race, but a long distance activity) and Primal Lean moves from the kitchen into the bathroom where I’ll always store enough of it. That’s my personal story. I love Primal Lean and I use it –among many other supplements and self-improvement tools. Fortunately science (and the market) offers us possibilities our parents never dreamt of. We are free to choose between
Do yourself a favor and consult your doctor before taking any supplement or using self-improvement tools. You want to know your blood work, urine test results as well as your hormone levels, if not for other reasons, to have a base line before starting your weight loss adventure. If you have high blood pressure and/or diabetes or other serious health issues, please do not start alone. At the end of February a man sent me an email saying that he and his wife are disappointed because after 6 weeks of taking Primal Lean no weight loss happened. It came out that she has breast cancer. A weight loss supplement will not cure serious health issues. Moreover, it can be dangerous regarding drug interactions. If you need somebody to communicate with about your individual weight issues, if you just need a listener, you are welcome. Just sign up on this page. The consultation is free provided that after reaching your personal weight goal, you are ready to coach another person in need. This way we can build a chain of former obese, after 6 month healthy people. To Your /Our Success!
