LOSING WEIGHT THROUGH DETOXIFICATION < Back to Detox Program Description

One of the major obstacles to success at losing weight is not being able to move past a plateau.  Clinical experience shows that optimal liver function plays an important role in lipid metabolism (“fat burning”) and a medically-based detoxification program is a successful strategy for lowering toxic load and improving liver function.
           
The liver becomes the factor that limits fat burning and ultimately weight loss. Most toxins are fat soluble and are stored in fat cells.  In order to use stored fat as energy, the liver must first convert the fat to triglycerides then to sugar.  The liver cannot effectively convert fat to sugar if there are toxins slowing down the system. 

Fasting is an inadequate and potentially dangerous strategy for liver detoxification.  A medical food that is specifically designed to enhance and support liver function along with nutritional and dietary changes is a better way to maximize detoxification efforts.
           
The Total Life Care Center Detoxification Program provides all of the nutrition and dietary support that yields excellent therapeutic results.  The program is designed for 28 days:

            7 days of three regular meals

            10 days of 1 regular meal and 2 meal replacements

            4 days of 3 meal replacements

            7 days of 1 regular meal and 2 meal replacements

Starvation or even a feeling of hunger is not to be expected with this program.  Healthy snacks are encouraged throughout the day.  Meal replacements are consumed in the form of a shake.  The base of the shake is entirely up to the individual: juice, water, rice milk, or almond milk.  The prescribed powders which include an excellent source and balance of protein, fats and carbohydrates are blended in the base with a selection of fruits and spices to make a nutritious and delicious smoothie.  There are many smoothie recipes that are provided to stimulate variety.  Also included is a recipe for “Bieler’s Vegetable Broth” to stabilize and adjust pH.  An optimal food list helps to direct shopping through the grocery store.

As a mainstay of Naturopathic Medicine the Total Life Care Center Detoxification Program will help participants achieve health and wellness goals.
