hCG Weight Loss- The Truth Exposed by Jacksonville Weight Loss Wellness Center

Natural Weight loss is a popular subject these days among the thousands of people who are desperately searching for ways to lose unwanted fat. When obese patients are accused of cheating, gluttony, and lack of will power, the strong become indignant and decide that modern medicine is a fraud and the weak just give up the struggle in despair.

Being overweight is due to a medical disorder. A person who is free of this disorder will never get fat, even if he frequently overeats.Those in whom the disorder is severe will accumulate fat very rapidly, and those in whom it is moderate will gradually increase in weight and those in whom it is mild may be able to keep their excess weight stationary for long periods.

In the human body there are three kinds of fat.

1. The first is the structural fat which fills the gaps between your organs, a sort of packing material.
2. The second type of fat is a normal reserve of fuel which the body draws upon when to meet energy demands.
3. The third type of fat is entirely abnormal.

When an obese patient tries to reduce by starving himself, he will first lose his normal fat reserves first. It is just for this reason that people complain that the diet they're on doesn't work. And it doesn't. Here's why.

First off, they are losing the wrong kind of fat. More calories are required to keep a large body at a certain temperature than to heat a small body. Secondly, the muscular effort of moving a heavy body is greater than in the case of a light body. The muscular effort consumes calories which must be provided by food. Thus, all other factors being equal, a fat person requires more food than a lean one. One might therefore reason that if a fat person eats only the additional food his body requires he should be able to keep his weight stationary. Yet every physician who has studied obese patients under rigorously controlled conditions knows that this is not true. Many obese patients actually gain weight on a diet which is calorie deficient for their basic needs. Therefore, there must be some other cause.

So after much research and asking around, I heard about the hCG diet. After reaching just over 235 lbs, a friend told me she'd gone from 195 lbs to her slim 120 within a few months using the hCG Diet. It had been over six years since she went on the hCG diet and she had never gained it back. That's what caught my attention. A diet where you lose a lb a day and don't gain it back? I was still skeptical but desperate so I decided to go for it. I was on the diet for less than 2 months, and lost nearly 40 lbs!

Losing weight with hCG has been found to be the quickest way to lose weight without sacrificing your health and metabolism. Many people lose a pound a day and sometimes more. Imagine a month from now weighing 30 pounds less!

This is the most effective diet because with rapid weight loss you normally experience loss in muscle and not fat, which can result in sagging or lose skin. However, with the hCG diet you will maintain your muscle mass and lose only fat. It really is the most effective way to lose weight.

Up until now, I never thought I'd lose weight. I'd tried everything and failed. That is until a friend of mine told me about Dr. Opachich and the hcg diet. Dr. Opachich is a Jacksonville Florida holistic physician specializing in all natural weight loss. He has been at his Jacksonville Weight Loss Center since 1983 and is located at 1610 Blanding Blvd in Jacksonville Fl. He is located on the westside of Jacksonville in the Riverside area. He offers free initial examinations and believes no one should have to pay a dime to see if he can help them. I took him up on his offer and am so glad I did. I would encourage you to do the same.

Here's his website. http://free-weight-loss-exam.com If you don't live in the Jacksonville Florida area then try searching for hcg diet in your area.

How To Get More Customers - The Power Of Business Cards

What's the purpose of a business card?  If you said to provide your name, address and phone number you have neglected the power a business card can have to bring you new prospects and paying customers.

Let me give you a couple of examples.

1. If you're a Certified Public Accountant you might have on the back of your
business card "Free Report: The 10 Most Costly Mistakes Business Owners
Make At Tax Time, go to www.taxsecrets.com to claim your report plus the free
email series 12 Little Known Secrets to Reducing Your Business Taxes."
Whenever you give out your business card you can mention the valuable gift on
the back. So every business card you give out becomes a powerful list building tool.

2. If you're a restaurant owner you could give every staff member their own
business card with a valuable gift offer like a $10 meal voucher on the back.
You could also offer other incentives like free coffee or free dessert with any
meal. Tell the staff they can give out the cards to their friends and people
they meet.

Giving gifts to friends and strangers and having their own business card makes
your staff feel more important and it also multiplies the number of people
actively promoting your business.

Shocking Truth About Credit Repair

Credit Repair is scary. The truth is creditors have done a great job of creating smear campaigns convincing consumers that there is nothing that can be done to fix credit. The truth is, it is the creditor's OBLIGATION to validate hundreds of points upon your request.

Even if the item is being reported accurately on your credit report, if the creditor can't validate compliance with hundreds of laws then you might have the necessary leverage to have those items removed.

Your creditors use your credit bureau as leverage to force you to pay them. You can go after your creditors and find their violations, then use those violations as leverage to force them to remove the negative item.

Creditors prey on you not knowing your rights or the laws put in place to protect you. When all three credit bureaus and your creditors start receiving your compliance requests, in most cases they simply delete the item versus dealing with hours of debt validation and threats of legal action and FTC complaints.

Once you learn what they can and can't do, you'll KNOW which laws they commonly break. You can then use this knowledge to gain leverage and get them to voluntarily remove your negative item. Since they voluntarily remove the item, you won't see it every come back on your report.

St. Augustine Florida - 5 Must Things To Do

I live in Jacksonville, Florida just north of St. Augustine so I am very familiar with the area and visit St. Augustine frequently. It has great weather all year around even in the winter. I'm writing this article in December and it's currently in the 70's. My wife and I visit there frequently because it offers so many things to do and see as you would imagine for the oldest city in the United States.

Family and friends from out of State ask me what I would suggest they do when they come for a visit. For sure I'd recommend they check out St. Augustine. Here are the top 5 things I always suggest they do.

1. Hop on the Old Town Trolley Tour, Sightseeing Train or a horse-drawn carriage. 
 St. Augustine's largest industry is tourism and therefore offers a lot of things to do. One of the things I'd definitely recommend is to take one of the tours they offer. You'll have three choices, the Old Town Trolley, the sightseeing train or a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride. All the tours are good but the one I'd recommend is the carriage ride because it's more personal, you can ask questions and they even make stops at certain places of interest for you to explore.

2. Visit The Alligator Farm.
 This isn't an ordinary zoo! This place is awesome. You'll see some of the largest alligators and crocodiles in the world like Maximo, a 15 foot, 1250 pound crocodile and rare albino alligators. If you go, be sure to be there when they feed them. You'll actually see Alligators leaping for food and hear the crunching as they bite into their food with powerful jaws.

3. Take A Ghost Tour.
 Explore the darker side of the nation's oldest city and let a ghost be your guide. Revisit the site of the terrible tragedy that occurred in 1873 at the St. Augustine Lighthouse and enter the town's most haunted building, the old jail, for an up close and personal encounter. Some ghost tours are informative, outfitting you with ghost detection equipment, while others are more dramatic, reenacting some of the twisted tales they describe. Some are on foot and others can be taken in trolleys, hearses, and even sailboats. These tours offer something to believers and non-believers alike as they all detail some of the most interesting aspects of St. Augustine's true history.

4. Go On A Pirate Ship
The Pirate Ship Black Raven is a one-of-a-kind live pirate show full of music, thrills and pure entertainment. Participate in their adventure, sing along with the crew, and find your inner pirate while you see the beautiful sights of the Matanzas River.

5. Rent a ScootCoupe.
You can rent anything from motorcycles, scooters, or mopeds but what I suggest is a really cool thing called a ScootCoupes were made for beach cruising. They offer comfortable side by side seating for 2 adult passengers so you can enjoy all the sites together with your companion. They also have a 3 wheel design too. The ScootCoupes go about 40 mph so you can ride all day and explore the entire town and coast. With 42 miles of beaches and 72 miles of beautiful coastal highway, you will have a blast. You can also take a GPS self guided tour. The tour will take you to the Castillo de San Marcos, The Fountain of Youth, Flagler College, as well as the Old City and Settlement areas where the trolleys can't fit.

There is a lot to do in St. Augustine. It is a wonderful place to take your wife, date or family to. The only other thing I would suggest is you visit O'Steen's Restaurant if you like seafood. They have the best fried shrimp I've ever had. It's easy to find, just ask anyone who lives there.

How To Eat Steak On A Hamburger Budget

Grocery shopping is one of the large expenses in the American home, and it seems to be getting larger.
There is no way around grocery shopping; it is a household responsibility and necessity. So how can You Save Money While Grocery Shopping?. One area is the meat department.

Merchandising, within the context of a grocery store, is simply the subtle art and science of selling food. Some have even called it manipulation. The basic purpose of merchandising is to sell product and can range from how grocery isles are arranged to even the colors you see on labels.

Merchandising also includes getting the highest price possible. For example, let's say pork chops cost $2.49 per pound. To remain competitive, the store can't sell it for much more, or can it?

Let's use our pork chop example. You go to the grocery store shopping for dinner. You spot stuffed pork chops. Pork chops sell for $2.49 a pound. Stove Top Stuffing costs $1.49. When you buy stuffed pork chops, you are paying $2.49 for the stuffing inside of the pork chops. So instead of getting 2 pounds of pork chops, you actually end up with one and a half pounds of pork and the other half pound of stuffing. That's merchandising but it's also expensive. So here's one example of how you can eat steak on a hamburger budget.

Boneless chuck roast is a very popular cut of meat. The meat department will slice it into steaks and charge an extra ten or twenty cents or more per pound. Another merchandising example. But here's what you can do. Instead of buying the chuck steaks, buy the chuck roast and ask the meat department to cut it into steaks for you. They never charge extra for this service.

Another great idea that will save you a lot of money is to have the meat cutter remove the "chuck eye." The chuck eye is the most tender part of the chuck. Chuck Eye steak is a very popular cut of meat because it is so tender. It's great on the grill and is much cheaper than any other steak. It is also perfect for stew meat or even country fried steak. If you've tried chuck eye then you know what I'm saying is true and if you haven't then you are in for a treat.

Chuck eye steak typically sells at twice the cost of a boneless chuck roast. So instead of buying chuck eye steak and paying $5.99 per pound or more, buy the chuck roast at $3.29 a pound, have them remove the chuck eye and either cut it into steaks yourself or have the meat department do it for you. So what do you do with the rest of the roast? Simply have them cut it into squares and then run it through their cuber to use for country fried steak, or have them grind it into hamburger.

There are a lot of ways to save money in the meat department and from experience all you have to do is ask a meat cutter what he does to save his family money. Most meat cutters will gladly tell you.

How To Stop Pain Without Drugs

The power of enzymes to stop pain, swelling and inflammation is so well established by so many studies, it's a wonder that enzyme therapy hasn't taken America by storm.

Alternative doctors everywhere are discovering the wonder of these incredible nutrients,especially in Germany where doctors successfully treat osteoarthritis with enzymes. They also consider enzymes to be as effective as prescription medicines.

Here's an example. In a German study involving 1004 rheumatic patients and 141 doctors reported 76% to 96% improved or considerably improved after receiving enzyme therapy.

Do enzymes help relieve osteoarthritis; the more common type? You bet. Dr. Cichoke reports a test of 80 patients who suffered from osteoarthritis of the knee. Half received an enzyme formula and half were treated with a leading prescription pain reliever called diclofenac. The enzymes proved just as effective as the drug in relieving pain by day or by night, at rest or in motion.

The Germans have also studied healthy athletes to see if enzyme therapy relieves pain and swelling and speeds up healing. The results were startling.

In a study of a hundred athletes, half took placebo and the other half an enzyme formula. More than three out of four of those on the enzymes rated the results as "good." Only 14% of those on the placebo were willing to say the same thing.

Neither group knew which pills they'd received. The Germans have really taken the results to heart. According to Karen DeFelice, German and Austrian teams training for the Olympics consume "millions of enzyme capsules." Dr. Cichoke says it's common for German prize fighters to take enzymes to prevent injuries and speed up recovery.

Drugs merely mask the pain, but enzymes get at the root cause and actually heal the underlying problem.
The non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDS that most of us take for pain are not healing drugs. In fact, they can be very damaging, even fatal, if taken over the long-term, the way many arthritis patients do.
NSAIDs block our response to pain so we don't feel it, but do little or nothing to heal the pain or injury.
Athletes have good reason to know this. Sure, they want to stop the pain, as most of us do but their most important goal is getting back on the field. When it comes to speeding up recovery, more and more athletes are finding that enzymes are clear winners over pain drugs.

In one of the rare American studies of enzyme therapy, Dr. Cichoke himself analyzed 64 football players. Half the athletes were given enzymes and half were given a placebo. Neither the players nor the doctors knew which pills were which. The idea was to take enzymes regularly as a food supplement rather than wait to begin enzyme therapy AFTER an injury had occurred. Using enzymes in this way for prevention, Dr. Cichoke and his colleague Leo Marty found that athletes who took enzymes recovered from injuries up to twice as fast as those on the sugar pill.

Dr. J.M. Zuschlag tried enzyme therapy on 20 karate fighters. As you can imagine, karate folks get pretty banged up. Half took a placebo and half took enzymes, without knowing which pill they were taking. The edge they got from enzyme supplements was astounding. Bruises healed in 6.62 days on average in the enzyme group compared to 15.59 days in the placebo group.

During the course of the study, the athletes who took the placebo missed 10 days of training on average while those who took enzymes missed only four days. Athletes on enzymes got over pain and swelling in about four days but those on the placebo needed about ten days to recover.

To an athlete, especially a pro or college athlete, those are eye-popping results. What's more, the Germans have confirmed this again and again. The players who supplement with enzyme preparations lose less playing time, recover from injuries faster, and experience no side effects. The side effects from prescription drugs on the other hand are often serious and the athletes lose more playing time.

Writing in the Annals of the New York Academy of Science, E.A. Fulgrave states that for many major sports injuries, enzymes can reduce time lost from two months down to two weeks!
What works for these athletes can work for you.

Enzymes can even help you recover faster after surgery. The evidence is found in, yes, another German study, this one on patients undergoing knee operations. It took fewer days for the folks supplementing with enzymes to be able to bend their knees, compared to the patients who got placebos. The enzyme group could also stand and walk earlier, and suffered less pain and swelling. This isn't a case of some people telling a researcher how they feel. It's a study of hard, objective fact: the number of days it took to bend, stand up and move.

Besides these studies, Dr. Cichoke reports many individual stories of quick healing and recovery. In one case, a college soccer coach injured a vertebra while playing goalie. The pain, muscle spasms and immobility were so bad that his wife rushed him to an emergency room. The doctors there gave him pain drugs and muscle relaxants, and told him to stay in bed for two weeks. Three days later, he was no better. In fact, he had to crawl from his bed to the bathroom. He saw another doctor who urged him to try something else: enzyme therapy, which he started a week after his injury.

The results were like a miracle.Within 24 hours, says the soccer coach, "I had literally lost almost all of the pain. I could stand erect, next to my bed, without having to bend over. The reduction of pain was remarkable."

The case of a high school long distance runner is just as dramatic. The boy developed knee problems, with pain so severe he was thinking of giving up his sport. Instead, he tried enzymes. In a week he was almost free of pain, even though he didn't take a break in his workout schedule. Within two weeks, he was totally pain-free and running seven miles a day.

Not all of us will experience such quick, dramatic results as these two injured athletes, but big studies of hundreds of people in pain do confirm that enzymes work.

Considering the wealth of studies on not only arthritis patients, but also injured athletes, cancer patients and all kinds of people with pain, there's no doubt in my mind that enzymes are the missing nutrient that can mean a new life for many people. What do you think?
