Zotrim Blog

Cost effective, 100% natural and the only natural diet pill to provide clinical evidence of weight loss on

BBC2’s Professor Regan’s Diet Clinic (17th April 2009).

Professor Regan stated that Zotrim is the more superior dietary supplement when compared to other products on the market, many of which do not provide sound evidence of actual weight loss.

Following analysis into the cost per kg lost thesis, Zotrim was found to be cheaper than most of the leading weight loss supplements on the market, whilst also providing consumers with faster, more sustainable results.

1. Is it ok for weight loss supplement like Zotrim to be used by the everyday woman for weight management?

Zotrim is a natural herbal supplement and hence poses no issues are anyone wanting to trial it as a support aid for weight loss. As Zotrim has been shown to delay gastric emptying and support fullness, anyone who has issues with hunger management and overeating is likely to benefit from using Zotrim.

 

2. Are weight loss supplements addictive?

Generally a supplement is only ‘addictive’ if there is a withdrawal effect from using it – as Zotrim is a herbal, natural supplement there will be no physiological effects in which users would experience withdrawal like effects after using it
3. Some people, like me, want to avoid stimulants altogether, including caffeine. What do you think of stimulant-free weight loss supplements? Are they less efficient?

Stimulant supplements would be increasing the amount of energy each cells uses hence increasing metabolic rate, albeit by a small amount. A product like Zotrim is working in a completely different way by simply inducing fullness by slowly digestion – they are not less effective, they simply work differently.
4. What do you answer to people with concerns about the unknown long term effects of weight loss supplements?

Look for Australian made products with proven scientific results – in general this will weed out 98% of the market.
5. In your opinion, who should (or shouldn’t) take weight loss supplements?

Weight loss supplements should only be used under supervision and in conjuction with a calorie controlled dietary program; they are not appropriate for pregnant women or for those people taking medication in which case any supplement should always be cleared by a medical doctor.
6. Do you think weight loss supplements are a long term solution to weight loss?

The only long term, proven solution to weight loss is a calorie controlled diet with regular exercise but scientifically proven weight loss supplements can be used to support weight control long term.

Salmon

Salmon is a potent dietary source of the  heart-healthy omega-3 fats EPA and DHA. Despite what you may have heard, farmed  salmon actually contains more omega-3 fats than wild salmon. Salmon is also a  smart choice of fish because it contains low levels of mercury. EPA and DHA have  profound effects on heart health, ranging from decreasing triglyceride levels –  an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease — to reducing the risk of  sudden death from heart attacks by almost 50 percent. Salmon can be a versatile  protein and omega-3 source in your diet. Enjoy smoked salmon as a snack or in an  omelet. You might also choose to broil, bake or poach salmon filets for lunch or  dinner. And if you’re in a pinch, canned or packet salmon is a portable source  you can add to salads without needing a refrigerator to keep it fresh.

Chia Seeds

Chia seeds — yes, from the famous Chia pet –  have emerged as a health-boosting powerhouse. One tablespoon of chia seeds  contains five grams of fiber, while you’d need two  tablespoons of flaxseed meal  to get the same amount of fiber. One tablespoon of chia seeds has approximately  2.4 grams of the plant-based omega-3 fat, alpha-linolenic acid, also found in  flaxseed meal. Chia seeds contain chlorogenic acid, an antioxidant that may help  improve blood sugar control. You can find chia seeds in the health food section  of your local grocery store, usually near the flaxseed. Adding chia seeds to  your diet is simple. Mix them into yogurt, add 1 tablespoon to a protein shake  or stir them into oatmeal for an extra infusion of fiber and antioxidants.

Blueberries

Blueberries are one of a limited number of  fruits with its origins in North America. A berry with a long history,  researchers estimate that blueberries have been around for 13,000 years. They  were a long-time staple of native American foragers, used for nutritional and  medicinal purposes. Blueberries have also been shown to fight America’s silent  killer, high blood pressure. Eating the equivalent of 2 cups of blueberries each  day for eight weeks can lower blood pressure by 6 percent, according to a 2010  study in “The Journal of Nutrition.”  Blueberries, like raspberries, are just as  nutritious fresh as they are frozen. Top a bowl of Greek yogurt with blueberries  and raw cashews for a simple, high protein, high antioxidant breakfast, or have  a bowl of blueberries after dinner for a naturally sweet dessert.

Raspberries

Blueberries are often touted as the ultimate  healthy food, but raspberries contain a nutrient profile that should not be  forgotten. One cup of raspberries has more than two times the fiber of one cup  of blueberries. Raspberries have an antioxidant capacity — a rating scientists  use to determine the amount of antioxidants in foods — greater than  strawberries, kiwis, broccoli, leeks, apples and tomatoes. Research with black  raspberries has shown that raspberries can fight DNA damage and the production  of inflammation producing proteins in your body. Depending on where you  live, raspberry season usually lasts from the end of May to August. But you  don’t have to be limited to eating raspberries only during this time. Frozen  raspberries are available year round and contain levels of nutrients comparable  to freshly picked raspberries. Raspberries are naturally sweet and are perfect  for dessert after dinner, on top of a spinach salad with sliced almonds and  grilled steak during lunch, or in a smoothie for breakfast.

Kimchee

Kimchee is a traditional Korean dish  consisting of fermented vegetables, mainly cabbage. The fermentation of the  cabbage to make kimchee fosters the growth of probiotics such as lactobacilli,  the same healthy bacteria found in yogurt. In addition to the probiotics to  support healthy digestion, eating kimchee can also aid in weight loss.  Researchers from Ajou University School of Medicine found that daily consumption  of kimchee improved insulin levels and reduced body fat percentage. You can find  kimchee in the Asian section of your local grocery store or you can make your  own. Eat kimchee as a side dish or incorporate it into an Asian-inspired stir  fry.

Broccoli

Perhaps you remember broccoli as one food that  your parents forced you to eat as a child. But your parents were onto something:  Broccoli is arguably one of the most nutritious foods you can eat. It is a  low-carbohydrate, high-fiber food, making it perfect for weight loss. In  addition, broccoli contains two compounds — indole-3-carbinol and  diindolylmethane — with powerful anti-cancer capabilities, especially effective  against breast, prostate and ovarian cancers. Fresh or frozen, raw or cooked –  it doesn’t seem to matter how you eat your broccoli. Just eat it.

Spinach

Spinach is your nutrition utility player  because of its broad spectrum of nutrients. Spinach contains 18 different  vitamins and minerals, ranging from iron to vitamin A. When looking to get more  spinach into your diet, purchase triple-washed and bagged baby spinach. Baby  spinach has a sweeter taste and is more tender than regular spinach. Spinach is  versatile, so don’t limit yourself to just salads. Stuff an omelet with wilted  spinach and feta cheese for a nutrient-packed breakfast. You can easily increase  the number of servings of vegetables in your day by adding a handful of baby  spinach to a smoothie. Baby spinach has a mild flavor that blends in well with  the berries found in most smoothies

Extra folds of skin can occur when you lose a lot of weight, lose it very  quickly or if you’re a little bit older. With time, however, you can diminish  the appearance of these folds if you take the following five steps.
1)  Keep your muscles firm and more defined with diligent strength training.
2) Dry brush your skin twice a day to improve circulation. This tightens  and brightens the skin by assisting the lymphatic system in ridding your body of  metabolic waste just below the surface.
3) Consider using a sauna to  work up a profuse sweat that will further cleanse your body of toxins and  improve skin’s appearance. Infrared saunas penetrate especially  deeply.
4) Drink eight to 10 glasses of clean, pure water daily from a  glass or stainless steel container. Avoiding the phalates found in plastic means  fewer contaminants in your system, resulting in smoother, tighter skin.
5) Use moisturizer and an organic self-tanner to make excess skin appear  less noticeable.
Give yourself a full year using these tips. Ultimately,  some people do opt for surgery if they’re still unhappy about extra skin. I  would suggest you get to your desired body weight and try reminding yourself how  much healthier you are now without the excess fat — even if your skin isn’t a  perfect fit.

Cottage Cheese with Live Cultures

Cottage cheese is a cheese curd product that  is high in casein, a dairy protein that is absorbed slowly by your body, fueling  muscle. In addition to its high levels of casein, cottage cheese contains live  cultures, or probiotics, that play both functional and nutritional roles.The  live cultures are needed to manufacture cottage cheese.. Nutritionally,  probiotics help repopulate your intestinal tract with good bacteria that  promotes healthy digestion and may play an important role in the treatment and  prevention of colon cancer. While cottage cheese contains only small amounts of  lactose, it can still be too much for those with lactose intolerance. For those  who face this problem, lactose-free cottage cheese is readily available. You can  eat cottage cheese as a stand-alone snack or combined with berries, flaxseed  meal and cashews for breakfast or a light lunch.

Walnuts

People have been eating walnuts for thousands  of years, with reports of growing walnut trees dating as far back as the Roman  empire. Researchers from the University of Oslo in Norway found that walnuts  contain more antioxidants than 1,111 other foods tested, second only to  blackberries. Antioxidants play an important role in our bodies by fighting  molecules called free radicals, which if left to their own devices can  accelerate signs of aging and cardiovascular disease. In order to maintain the  highest level of freshness, walnuts should be kept in the refrigerator. Walnuts  can be added, along with blueberries, to Greek yogurt for a nutritious and fast  breakfast. They can be added to a smoothie because they have a neutral flavor  and won’t settle to the bottom of your blender like almonds.

Omega-3 Eggs

Omega-3 eggs are the nutritionally-upgraded  versions of the eggs you usually eat. By feeding chickens omega-3-rich food, the  eggs they lay contain more omega-3s. One omega-3 egg can contain 150 milligrams  of the omega-3 fat DHA, the long chain omega-3 fat that is essential for optimal  brain function. Omega-3 eggs are found next to regular eggs, but look for the  omega-3 label. Free-range or cage-free eggs are not necessarily omega-3-enriched  eggs. Try scrambling two or three omega-3 eggs with a bit of reduced-fat cheddar  cheese, half a diced tomato and one chopped scallion. Serve the egg mixture  on  a sprouted-grain English muffin for a fast, portable and nutrition-packed  breakfast.

You already know that working out helps people look great. The added benefit of looking great is confidence. And confidence will lead you to:

 

  • Close more deals: When you’re confident, you get the feeling you can accomplish anything you want. It’s going to become tougher for you to accept no for an answer.  In fact, each “no” might inspire you to push harder.
  • Meet new people : Confidence will also help you realize that there isn’t a reason to be shy, and that it’s more beneficial to you to build as many quality relationships as you can.
  • Speak more confidently: Talking confidently goes a long way in the business world. People want to talk to someone who’s sure of themselves.
