The set point theory states an individual’s
metabolism will adjust itself to maintain a weight at which it is comfortable.
If calories are restricted, our metabolic rate falls in an attempt to
preserve our fat stores. This is nature’s way of preventing starvation.
Once weight is lost and calories are no longer restricted, the metabolic
rate rises once more. Many studies have sought to evaluate if the set
point can be altered, clinically monitoring the caloric intake and exercise
of candidates, discovering that most overweight individuals can’t
lose weight permanently.
It appears as though changing your set point can be an effective way to
lose weight. In recent studies, 7-Keto increased the activity associated
with metabolism. About 60 to 75% of our total energy needs are met through
our basal or resting metabolic rate. Even a minor shift in this rate can
have a dramatic impact on the amount of calories burned. 7-Keto is a safe
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) metabolite. DHEA is a hormone that is produced
primarily in the adrenal glands. Production of this hormone decreases
with age, particularly after the age forty. Taking supplements of DHEA
may help to prevent cancer, arterial disease, multiple sclerosis, and
Alzheimer’s disease, plus it may be beneficial in the treatment
of lupus and osteoporosis, and may even enhance activity in the immune
system, and improve memory.
But even with so many benefits, high doses of DHEA supplements may also
suppress the body’s natural ability to produce this hormone, cause
liver damage, and in women, cause excess facial hair. Whoa! So now you
are thinking that you would never want to take this supplement, and that
is where 7-Keto comes in.
7-Keto is a derivative of DHEA that offers many of DHEA’s benefits
without converting into the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone. Prescription
for Nutritional Healing by Phyllis and James Balch, CNC and M.C. respectively,
state that 7-Keto is "a good alternative to DHEA and has the same
benefits." And 7-Keto is even more potent than DHEA for stimulating
the enzymes in the liver responsible for thermogenesis (burning calories).
7-Keto’s impact on T3 thyroid hormone facilitates a shift in one’s
weight set point, helping to take the pounds off and keep them off in
the future.
If you are interested in weight loss and want to try something new, Enzymatic
Therapy’s 7-Keto
and 7-Keto Naturalean
are just a click away.
