BAC for dieting and weight loss
In various clinical studies, micro-algae have been shown to be
remarkably effective for weight loss. There are primarily two documented
factors for this: the correction of nutritional deficiencies, and
the addition of GLA to the diet. Let me quote on study next.
Researchers in Germany used 15 human volunteers to test an appetite
reducing effect. Obese outpatients, who were following a weight
reduction diet, took spirulina tablets before each meal three times
a day for four weeks. In this double blind crossover study against
a placebo, about 6 tablets three times a day over four weeks showed
a small but statistically significant reduction of body weight.
There was also a significant drop in serum cholesterol levels.

But let me add other important factors next:
The restoration of the weight metabolism as regulated by the master glands
On the nutritional deficiencies topic, one factor stated is that
obesity is the result of not only the over-consumption of calories,
but more importantly, the gradual breakdown and resulting dysfunctional
endocrine system that results in the excess secretion of insulin, subsequently,
intense cravings for refined foods. That's why people get overweight
even when they don't want to:
the cravings are simply too strong to ignore.
By supplying the body with the nutrients it needs, however,
those cravings can be dramatically reduced and the endocrine
system can be brought back into a state of balance. These nutrients
are best provided by Bio-Algae Concentrates. That's how these
superfoods help people lose weight.
Of course, true weight loss won't occur from simply consuming
these superfoods: they only create the proper environment for
weight loss. The person must still alter their diet by removing
refined foods, hydrogenated oils, all sugars, and other
weight-promoting substances. Without that step, the weight will
never come off. Just as importantly, a person who doesn't take up a
habit of regular physical exercise will rarely lose body fat, no
matter what their diet.
The second factor in micro-algae that supports weight loss is the
presence of GLA in spirulina.
This essential fatty acid helps
regulate blood sugar and control insulin, which naturally leads to
reduced carbohydrate binding. And spirulina is the richest natural
source of GLA on planet Earth. There's simply no better way to get
GLA into your diet than making spirulina part of your daily diet.
The third and most important factor in Bio-Algae Concentrates
that help with weight loss is the gradual restoration of the endocrine system
balance which includes weight metabolism.
When the hypothalamus (the central master
gland which governs all other glands) is nutritionally satisfied it will command via
pHGH (precursor human growth hormones) the pituitary which in turn will direct
the para-thyroid which will direct the thyroid and so forth down to the liver for a full
spectrum natural weight metabolism.
Clearly, rather then using diet pills or aggressive diets that simply further
disturb endocrine balance, Bio-Algae Concentrates should by supplemented as
part of the nutritional approach to any weight loss effort. They can
greatly reduce cravings, provide much-needed nutrition to the body,
and serve as outstanding sources for obesity-busting substances like
GLA. But they can't get up and do your exercises for you.
