For weight loss, these easy steps can be taken every day:
- Before each meal, take one of the following:
- 8-9g of Enhanced Fiber Food Powder (flavored or unflavored) or 8-9g of High Lignan Flax seed powder or 3-6 capsules of PGX soluble fiber blend
- Take 500-700mcg of Chromium daily.
- Take 160-320mg of Magnesium citrate daily before bedtime.
- Take 3000-4000mg of CLA (with or without 1000 mg guarana) daily.
- Take 2400mg of EPA/DHA with sesame lignans daily.
- Take 200mg of 7-keto DHEA daily in the morning.
- Take 725-1450 mg of Green Tea extract (minimum 93 percent; caffeinated or decaffeinated) daily.
- Minimize consumption of foods cooked at high temperatures.
- Consume most calories early in the day (avoid late-night snacking).
- Reduce intake of high glycemic foods (breads, pasta, potatoes, fruit juices, sugary snacks).
- Reduce intake of saturated fats such as those found in beef and butter, and increase consumption of foods rich in omega-3 fats, such as fish.
- Increase consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables.
- Your physician might prescribe one or more of the following:
- Natural progesterone cream if the ratio of estrogen to progesterone in your blood is too high (estrogen dominance)
Arimidex® or some other aromatase-inhibiting drug if estrogen levels are too high
Estriol, BiEst, or TriEst if estriol, estrone, or estradiol levels are severely deficient
Metformin if fasting insulin levels are high, especially if polycystic ovary syndrome is present (The typical dose is 500-1700 mg a
day. Women with polycystic ovary syndrome secrete large amounts of insulin, which usually causes uncontrollable weight gain.)
Testosterone cream in very low doses (150-300 mcg) if free testosterone levels are very low and do not respond to DHEA
replacement
- Cytomel® or Armour™ thyroid to bring thyroid hormone levels into ideal ranges (typical doses for Cytomel® are 12.5-25mcg daily or higher)
- DHEA to restore blood levels to those of a 25-year-old (The typical dose is 15-25mg a day; DHEA does not require a prescription, but blood testing enables you to take the optimal dose.)
