What SlimSmart is NOT
Sometimes understanding what a product is not will help you understand
what it is.
No pills, drugs, or food additives
The #1 hot button among most patients are the risky drug regimens sometimes
prescribed. In contrast, SlimSmart is an electronic device that uses a type of biofeedback,
meaning it is entirely safe. SlimSmart can be used indefinitely with no harm to you.
Most of us well remember the popularity of "Phen-Fen",
a powerful combination of drugs that affect your entire
nervous system. These drugs did work, at least at first and while
they were taken, but with some dangerous side effects, including
the heart-valve changes. The
most surprising thing about this treatment is that it was one of the
most heavily studied combination of drugs with award-winning
clinical studies. Yet, the studies were wrong, making you realize
that any drug combination taken over a long period of time is
risky.
In a similar manner, herbal "food additives" can and do have
serious side-effects and may be habit-forming as well. The usual
active ingredient in popular dietary supplements, such as
Metabolife, Herbalife, SlimRX, and many others, is a form of
ephidrine, which increases your metabolism, but in some users
results in high-blood pressure, hemmoroids and possible stroke.
The fact that the founder of Herbalife died at age 44 may be a
hint that these approaches are not all that safe either.
Moral: Avoid "herbal-death" by using SlimSmart!
No giving up your favorite healthy foods
With SlimSmart, you don’t have to change to different “diet” foods.
Sure, we encourage patients to eat healthy low-fat and low-cholesterol
foods to avoid health problems like high-blood pressure, heart disease,
and others that are deadly even for thin people. Your clinician
may have some recommended changes to your diet, but SlimSmart doesn’t
require these changes to work.
No wacky diets and tasteless food choices
You won’t be eating
a “Fad Diet” based on changing the balance of nutrients in your
diet, and it is not necessary to purchase specialized meals
to be successful.
In fact, the philosophy of SlimSmart is that it is important
to integrate your program so it works with everyday foods that you
tend to eat, so it can become a regular part of your lifestyle.
No counting calories or weighing or measuring food
You won’t be
concerned with counting calories or weighing and measuring
your meals. Some approaches depend on the approximate
calorie counts for food choices, but the amount of work
involved is just too much for use over a long period of time.
Exercise programs for FITNESS not WEIGHT LOSS
Exercise should be a part of everyone’s daily ritual.
Surprisingly enough, exercise is mainly important for fitness
and weight-maintenance
and is only perhaps 10% effective for weight-loss.
Miller shows this in research
results of over 700 separate studies.
