Rapid fat loss – a case study part 2

July 12, 2010July 6, 2010 by Chris Hines

The nutritional cleanse is based around liquid meals – that provide proteins, fibre, vitamins and minerals. Added in to this are a multi vitamin and mineral or supplement that supports biotransformation in the liver, essential fats such as omega 3, essential amino acids, and fibre. In the UK we are very polluted with xenoestrogens from plastics, pesticides, industrial chemicals and personal care products so I would then orientate the cleanse to detoxify oestrogen such as using DIM, calcium d glucurate and sulphurophane. Finally supporting sleep is extremely important, as this is when a lot of the detoxification occurs. Using amino acids, herbs and magnesium to aid sleep works well.

Here is a 7 day oestrogen orientated cleanse that one of my clients did. The morning of the cleanse she was 67.8kg at 17.8% body fat and had a 32 inch waist.

exercises-for-losing-weight-1 — Pump that Iron

I’d like to thank everyone for all their positive comments in the last few weeks about all the stuff we’ve been doing. Rest assured it means a lot to us and we’ll be continuing to publish some really informative and entertaining stuff in the near future.

I wanted to blog about a couple of topics today that I get a lot of questions about from my clients. The first is supplements, particularly what supplements I take. If you’ve worked with Steve or I you’ll know we are big advocates of QUALITY supplements which actually work (not the rubbish you pick up in the High Street for £1.99!!). I currently take a multivit called Multi Intense, a Fish Oil and a magnesium product called Ubermag Plus which also contains Tryptophan that is fantastic in aiding sleep. I take a vitamin D product called D3 Excellence to bring my Vitamin D levels up. As my clients will know both my gyms are underground and I travel frequently on the Tube so I live much of my life like a mole!! So I really enjoy the benefits of getting good levels of Vitamin D. A new product I’ve just started taking is Carnitine which as well as being a good fat burner also helps boost energy levels and with my current busy schedule I’ve really found it helps me blast through the day. All these products are available from the Poliquin site (click on the banner down below to see their full range for yourselves).
