A little over 1 month ago, I was asked to evaluate a weight loss and allergy/food sensitivity system called Ultra-Lite Weight and Health Management Program. I was initially skeptical, as there are many diet programs out that are unhealthy and include pre-packaged foods, pills, shakes, cookies, herbs, many of which stimulate the central nervous system in an attempt to suppress appetite and other tricks that we all know just don't ork or are not sustainable and will make you sick.
This program is from Australia and designed by a Dr. Anthony LeVannais a Naturopathic Doctor, and only available through health practitioners. It has been used with close to 1 million people over 13 years with no side effects. I have thoroughly researched this comprehensive weight loss/allergy - food sensitivity system and have put a number of patients and friends on the program. I am very pleased and excited to announce that the Ultra-Lite Weight and Health Management Program has been a great success and each person that has gone through the program felt great in about 1 week of starting it.
Ultra Lite teaches you how to eat real foods in proper balance to get your body into a special fat burning state (not the Atkins diet). In fact, you will know using a simple test every day if you are burning fat. This is important, as you want your body to burn fat, while protecting your muscle mass (your calorie burning engine), crucial to keeping your weight off over time, keeping your immune system working optimally, and makes you feel good about yourself again.
You see most diets have your body losing a little fat, a little muscle and some fluid and over time, as yo-yo dieting takes place, people find themselves with a high body fat percentage and low lean muscle mass – an unhealthy body composition. Ultra Lite will ensure this does not happen. The added benefit is increased energy, no food cravings or hunger while you are on the program, and many symptoms from food allergy/sensitivities completely disappear in as little as 5 days.
The program is done in 5-week increments, and when properly followed, the average weight loss ranges between 3-5 pounds per week. You will leave our office with everything you need to go home and begin eating foods already in your kitchen.
Remember, even though Ultra Lite is a weight loss program its overall impact on your health will be profound as you will significantly reduce the risk of certain cancers, heart disease and diabetes, not to mention a host of lifestyle induced conditions that can be cleared up by simply losing excess fat, and finding out which foods you are reacting to!
Food allergies vs Food sensitivities: most people can tell if they react to a food allergy (IgE) but a food sensitivity (IgG) is completely different. It may take up to 3 days to show and can be hundreds of different symptoms that are impossible to detect unless you get off these foods for a period of time. Many times these same foods are the ones that we crave and eat on a regular basis. The worst thing about food sensitivities is that they lower our metabolic rate (keep the weight on even when we try to “diet”) and deplete our immune systems. There is also research correlating many auto-immune conditions to food sensitivities over time.
The Ultra-Lite Weight and Health Management Program incorporates a rotation diet and all the main culprit foods (the foods that most people are allergic to or have food sensitivities to) are taken off the list of acceptable foods for the 1st 5-10 weeks. I personally know why it works, and the scientific research behind it is sound. I have see many of my patients lose a lot of weight from just eliminating their a food allergies and sensitivities using blood tests. What is great is that Ultra Lite, it incorporates this all together in a simple easy to understand system that works great and you are eating wholesome foods right from your supermarket, and no one has yet to complain that they have been Hungary during any part of the diet. It can be done by anyone with a very busy schedule too. I have done many of the follow up visits by phone or by Skype.
