Your Body Says You're Hungry Even If You're Not.

This information from a Time Magazine article (May 7, 2007) details reasons why you may eat more food than your body really needs. Factors involved in overeating can be subtle and include:

  • Time of day. Your body is conditioned to eat at certain intervals based on your routine. If you normally eat breakfast and find yourself in too much of a rush one day, your body will signal it's starving.
  • Sight of food. The body anticipates when food is about to enter the system. That's why your mouth starts watering at the sight of Mom's homemade pie.
  • Refined carbs. Any meal or snack high in grain and sugar carbohydrates typically generates a rapid rise in blood glucose. To compensate for this, your pancreas secretes the hormone insulin into your bloodstream, which lowers your blood sugar. This "crashing" usually leads you right back to the kitchen in search of more food.
GOOD NEWS! The Ningxia Red nutrient infusion juice that is included in the Slique™ Essence System will, by its nature, help balance those wild sugar spikes and crashes.

Hunger Pangs must be stopped in the Brain!

MORE GOOD NEWS! Peppermint oil is proven to satisfy the satiety center in the brain. Simple inhalation throughout the day quells those nagging hunger pangs. Therapeutic grade peppermint oils is contained in the Start Living Kit that comes with your Young Living membership.

Carbohydrates, both refined carbs and whole wheat grains, are perhaps the most important item on Time's list of false hunger flags. They are deadly in raising your insulin levels. You may have noticed hunger setting-in within a few hours of eating a hefty pasta meal. This is due to elevated insulin levels.

We all need a certain amount of carbohydrates, but too many people are addicted to grains, potatoes and sweets. They consume far too many dangerous carbs that can lead to serious chronic health problems like diabetes and cancer. Since your body's storage capacity for carbs is rather limited, when you consume more than you need they are converted (via insulin) into fat and stored as fat, thereby increasing both your waistline and your risk for nearly every chronic degenerative disease.

THE GOOD NEWS: Essentialzymes-4, a primary ingredient in the Slique™ Essence System, are formulated to help digest and metabolize the carbs you do ingest, as well as fats, proteins and fiber. During his 52 lb. weight reduction using the with Slique™ System, Marc Schreuder discovered a major difference when he included these enzymes. His research revealed that weight loss was most successful when he addressed the "gut" issue with Essentialzymes-4. (Available in the Slique™ System or can be purchased individually)
