LipoMelt Lipomelt is a safe, pain free alternative to liposuction. The LipoMelt treatment is 100% non-invasive and does not cause any bruising or scarring. Clients will see a reduction of inches after their very first session; best results are achieved with multiple sessions over a few weeks time. How does LipoMelt work? You lay down and two distinct frequencies of unique light emitted from LED’s cause the fat to emulcify (melt) in the cell membranes, temporarily altering the permeability of the cell wall. This brief change allows some of the melted fat contents to seep out to where it can then be processed by the body. What happens to the fat? After being released, the fat is broken down into free fatty acids and glycerol and enter the blood stream via the Lymphatic system. Once in the blood stream, the fatty acids can be quickly eliminated by the body. What areas of the body can be treated? The LipoMelt treatment can be effectively used on essentially every part of the body where localized fat deposits exist that are resistant to diet and exercise. This includes the waist, hips, upper legs, thighs and upper arms...even the neck.. Does LipoMelt help with cellulite and loose skin? Clients undergoing LipoMelt have noticed an improvement with cellulite as well as skin tone and texture. Do I have to follow a diet? No diet changes are required, but you can expect better results if you reduce your caloric intake even just a little and increase your water consumption to 6- 8 glasses a day. Meanwhile, reducing alcohol consumption will reduce calories and help the liver. One Less Bite! The key to weightloss is making a change in your diet that is maintainable. A nutritionalist once told me if you eat 2,000 calories of food a day and burn off 2,000 calories of food a day, at the end of the month, or at the end of the year you won’t gain or lose any weight, but if you add the extra calories of one bowl of soup per week to that balance ... at the end of one year you will gain 5 lbs! Soooooo if you only remove the calories of one bowl of soup per week to your intake you lose 5 lbs in a year.... Moral of that story is make small changes that are maintainable! Like not eating another bite once you are full, you can eat the rest later as a snack, (eating often, small portions is better for our metabloism) I love my burgers and still eat them but usually take almost half of it home. (Who needs a 8 or 10 oz. burger, we used to think a quarter pounder was a big burger and that is only 4 ounces!!! and YES ... on a bun... it’s not a burger if it’s not on a bun!) Oh... I also still eat fries... it’s true! but only eat a hand full, I usually ask for half as much as they normally send out and don’t end up eating all of those either! (and no, I won’t take them home... I don’t enjoy cold or reheated mushy fries) Do I have to exercise? Each of your sessions includes 20 minutes on the “shaker” machine to stimulate circulation and helps your body remove the fat that has been released. The best part of this system is seeing results! Fitting into a smaller size motivates you to have one less bite, or walk more, improving results even more!

I think it’s just that she can’t stand the taste of it herself. I told her I was writing this email, and she said I have to include that I’m 42 and on blood pressure meds. Dear Reader: Your wife is remembering a warning about black licorice issued by the Food and Drug Administration in 2017, just a few weeks before Halloween. Considering that Americans now spend upward of $2.7 billion (yes, with a B; and yes, we’re kind of shocked) per year on Halloween candy, the FDA’s timing seems spot on. According to the warning, “If you’re 40 or older, eating 2 ounces of black licorice a day for at least two weeks could land you in the hospital with an irregular heart rhythm or arrhythmia.” To understand why, we need to talk about Glycyrrhiza glabra, the plant used to give licorice candy its distinctive flavor. Commonly referred to as licorice root, Glycyrrhiza glabra is a member of the pea and bean family, and is native to certain areas of Europe, the Middle East and western Asia. Its fleshy roots contain a compound called glycyrrhizin, which is 50 times sweeter than sugar. Licorice root has medicinal properties, and it is a centuries-old treatment for a variety of ailments, including heartburn, stomach upset, ulcers, sore throat and bronchitis. However, one of the side effects of consuming glycyrrhizin is a potentially dangerous drop in the levels of potassium in the body. This means eating too much licorice can lead to a range of symptoms including high blood pressure, leg swelling, exhaustion, lethargy, cramping, abnormal heart rhythms and even congestive heart failure. Research shows that when you stop eating black licorice, potassium levels will usually return to normal on their own. If you’re wondering why your wife wanted you to share your age and health status in your email, it’s because according to the FDA, people over the age of 40 who also have a history of hypertension or heart disease should be particularly careful not to eat too much licorice. Eating as little as 2 ounces -- that’s four small pieces -- of licorice every day for two weeks is enough to land someone in the hospital. Scientists at the National Institutes of Health, who take an even dimmer view of the candy, state that even 1 ounce of licorice per day consumed over the course of several weeks may be “potentially unsafe.” To avoid problems, black licorice lovers of any age should never eat large amounts of the candy at one time. It’s also important to note that glycyrrhizin, the flavoring compound in licorice root, has the potential to interact with some medications, herbs and dietary supplements. For instance, the NIH warns that black licorice blunts the effects of the blood thinner warfarin, and it interferes with certain blood pressure drugs, steroid drugs and diuretics. If black licorice is a constant in your diet and you regularly take any medications or supplements, it would be wise to check with your doctor or pharmacist for any potentially adverse interactions.
