So... You're trying to lose weight and be healthy, but you tried so many different diet plans and you never finish what you started, or the weight comes back. Why can't you lose weight and keep it off? You make new years resolutions thinking, "This is it... I'm really going to put in the effort and lose weight!" But after a few months and losing over 20lbs, you look good and feel great, but then for some strange reason you slack off again, and the weight comes back. Not only does the weight come back, but you might weigh more than you did when you first started. Why does this happen? Why can't we keep the weight off?

Let's think outside the box for a minute, and imagine our metabolisms are like car engines. Ex. When you were younger, from teens to late 20's, you use to drive over 55mph on the expressway. You hardly had any problems with the engine, and just moving along at a steady pace. But as you got older, you're not driving as fast on the expressways. Matter of fact, some slowed down to 30-40mph on the side streets. Things start breaking down in the engine and you're always at the shop getting repairs. You figure because the care got some years on it, so it's expected for some things to break down right? This is compared to going to doctors for medicines because you're having health problems, aches and pains, etc. You would think that once the problems are fixed with repairs (meds) you're ok, but after a few months or years, you're right back at the shop (dr. office) getting something else fixed.

Now, I personally know a few mechanics, and most of them have admitted to me that they see problems with engines and tend to that specific problem. They may see something else about to break down in the future, but they will not tell you because they want you to come back for more repairs. This goes the same for the medical profession. They really don't want you cured, because then you wouldn't need to come back for more treatments.

But there is one area where a mechanic and doctor are slightly different. True prevention. A doctor or health professional may tell you that a healthy diet and exercise will reduce your health problems. Now this is true, but missing something. Let's compare your body to an engine again.

This is like an auto mechanic telling you to stop driving on the side streets, put some 93 octane in the tank, and start driving on the expressway and open up that engine! Now depending on the wear and tear on your engine, this works for some people, but for most, this can cause more harm than good in the long run. Now... most of you reading this, knows something is missing, something that mechanics will do to decrease your odds of breakdown before putting that car on the expressway. They give the car a tune-up, change the fluids and filters, replace belts, etc... then they may suggest putting the 93 octane in the tank, but most will not bother. Why? Once the car had all that fine tuning done, it's like a new car again, so putting that high-quality fuel is not necessary.

So now let's compare this to our own metabolisms. Before you go on a diet and exercise routine, you decide to give your body a tune-up first. You take vitamins and supplements, increase your fluid intake.. esp water, and eat more fiber to clean your filters. You don't go on any diet. No exercise. You're just fine tuning for about 2 weeks to a month, giving your body a change to get use to it, and feel the difference. The only problem with this idea is alot of vitamin products on the market today don't have high absorption. You're intentions maybe in the right place, but the vitamins are going right through your engine and out the tailpipe! So make sure you do your research on which vitamins and supplements are the best quality with proper mineral absorption. US patent #4705875
