I hear this all the time when people are trying to justify their lack of weight loss. “Well I have been working out, so it possible that I have just gained muscle, because you know muscle weighs more than fat”. These people are 50% correct! Muscle does weight more than fat, but that is most liking not what is going on with you and your lack of weight loss. It is very difficult to add a pound of muscle!!! The best bodybuilders in the world struggle to add 5 pounds of muscle mass in a YEAR. With that said you have probably not gained 2 pounds of muscle in 10 days.
Even though muscle weighs more than fat, body fat takes up way more space. Notice the attached photo. 5 pounds of 5 is much larger than 5 pounds of muscle.
Here is where it gets serious! Studies show that an extra 5 pounds of body fat increases your chance of developing a serious medical condition by 35%!

Detox Nutrients Packets (Promotes the metabolism of toxins)
It seems that toxic chemical exposure is everywhere – in our food, air, water, and even in the tissues of every person. Bioaccumulation of these compounds in some individuals can lead to a variety of metabolic dysfunctions, particularly to the immune, neurological, and endocrine systems of the body. Toxicity in these systems can lead to a decrease in the overall health of the system, as well as causing specific adverse effects on individual health and well-being.
Detox Nutrients Packets offer a simple and effective way to ensure your patients get the proper nutrients they need each day to help the body’s detoxification mechanisms run optimally. Detox Nutrients Packets are ideal for anyone undergoing a cleansing program. In addition, individuals on a weight-loss program, undergoing sauna therapy, or engaging in strenuous exercise can benefit from these convenient packets.
Each packet contains two capsules of the following special Thorne formulas:
Liver Cleanse is a potent combination of herbs that work synergistically to enhance the function of the liver and is specifically helpful during a comprehensive detoxification program. The herbs in this formula enhance the production and flow of bile, which helps to optimize metabolism and the excretion of substances detoxified by the liver. Several of these herbs also provide support for the kidneys.
Toxic Relief Booster provides nutrients and botanicals for general detoxification support. This formula promotes the metabolism of toxins previously stored in fat that have been released into the bloodstream due to above activities. Toxic Relief Booster can be used alone or in conjunction with other components of a detoxification protocol.
Solvent Remover contains amino acids that support the specific liver detoxification pathways involved in solvent elimination, as well as antioxidant nutrients to help protect nerves from solvent damage. The amino acids glycine, L-glutamine, and taurine enhance the function of the liver pathways involved in solvent detoxification. N-acetylcysteine increases the production of glutathione, an antioxidant that promotes detoxification. Alpha-lipoic acid also increases glutathione and is neuroprotective.
Medibulk® (Important soluble fiber for a healthy GI tract)
Colonic bacteria utilize soluble fiber and other undigested carbohydrates as food and subsequently create short-chain fatty acids, which are used by the colonic mucosal cells as fuel. In turn, the short-chain fatty acids liberated by these bacteria can lower colonic pH and shorten transit time in the gastrointestinal tract, which enhances detoxification and reduces the toxic burden on the liver. Medibulk contains psyllium, pectin, and prune powder as sources of soluble fiber.
Anaerobic fermentation of the soluble non-starch polysaccharides in psyllium results in the production of important short-chain fatty acids in the intestines. One of these fatty acids, butyric acid, is the preferred fuel for colonocytes (mucosal cells of the colon) and provides important support for a healthy colon.* In one study, subjects supplemented with 20 grams of psyllium seed daily for three months exhibited an average increase of butyric acid production of 42 percent, which decreased to pretreatment levels within two months of stopping supplementation.
Soluble fiber also has a positive impact in supporting the metabolism of cholesterol and maintaining already healthy blood sugar levels. Other indications for supplementing with Medibulk include occasional constipation or diarrhea, the need for colon detoxification, soothing of hemorrhoids, appetite control, and support of colon health.
Prior to embarking on a detoxification program it is important to achieve optimal bowel function. Medibulk can speed transit time in the bowel and bind toxins released into the intestines from the liver, preventing their reabsorption.
VegaLite™ Protein Powder (vegan-friendly proprietary pea/rice protein blend)
VegaLite is a non-whey, vegetable-based protein powder that is low in sugar, calories, and fat. VegaLite is ideal for vegans and vegetarians, dairy-sensitive individuals, and for anyone requiring additional protein in their daily diet. VegaLite is safe to use with children and the elderly.
VegaLite provides 23 grams of protein per serving, from an easily assimilated proprietary blend of pea and rice protein – a welcome alternative to more allergenic casein-, soy-, or egg-based protein sources.
VegaLite is available in great-tasting chocolate and vanilla flavors. VegaLite can be mixed with water, with your beverage of choice, or blended as part of a smoothie or shake.

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have identified the molecular mechanism that makes omega-3 fatty acids so effective in reducing chronic inflammation and insulin resistance.
The discovery could lead to the development of a simple dietary remedy for many of the more than 23 million Americans suffering from diabetes and other conditions, said the university in a statement.
Writing in the advance online edition of the September 3 issue of the journal Cell, Jerrold Olefsky, MD, and colleagues identified a key receptor on macrophages abundantly found in obese body fat. The scientists said omega-3 fatty acids activate this macrophage receptor, resulting in broad anti-inflammatory effects and improved systemic insulin sensitivity.
Macrophages are specialized white blood cells that engulf and digest cellular debris and pathogens, said researchers. Part of this immune system response involves the macrophages secreting cytokines and other proteins that cause inflammation, a method for destroying cells and objects perceived to be harmful. Obese fat tissue contains lots of these macrophages, producing lots of cytokines. The result can be chronic inflammation and rising insulin resistance in neighboring cells overexposed to cytokines. Insulin resistance is the physical condition in which the natural hormone insulin becomes less effective at regulating blood sugar levels in the body, leading to myriad and often severe health problems, most notably type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Olefsky and colleagues looked at cellular receptors known to respond to fatty acids. They eventually narrowed their focus to a G-protein receptor called GPR120, one of a family of signaling molecules involved in numerous cellular functions. The GPR120 receptor is found only on pro-inflammatory macrophages in mature fat cells. When the receptor is turned off, the macrophage produces inflammatory effects. But exposed to omega-3 fatty acids, specifically DHA and EPA, the GPR120 receptor is activated and generates a strong anti-inflammatory effect.
“It’s just an incredibly potent effect,” said Olefsky, a professor of medicine and associate dean of scientific affairs for the UC San Diego School of Medicine. “The omega-3 fatty acids switch on the receptor, killing the inflammatory response.”
The scientists conducted their research using cell cultures and mice, some of the latter genetically modified to lack the GPR120 receptor. All of the mice were fed a high-fat diet with or without omega-3 fatty acid supplementation. The supplementation treatment inhibited inflammation and enhanced insulin sensitivity in ordinary obese mice, but had no effect in GPR120 knockout mice. A chemical agonist of omega-3 fatty acids produced similar results.
“This is nature at work,” said Olefsky. “The receptor evolved to respond to a natural product—omega-3 fatty acids—so that the inflammatory process can be controlled. Our work shows how fish oils safely do this, and suggests a possible way to treat the serious problems of inflammation in obesity and in conditions like diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease through simple dietary supplementation.”
However, Olefsky said more research is required. For example, it remains unclear how much fish oil constitutes a safe, effective dose. High consumption of fish oil has been linked to increased risk of bleeding and stroke in some people.
Should fish oils prove impractical as a therapeutic agent, Olefsky said the identification of the GPR120 receptor means researchers can work toward developing an alternative drug that mimics the actions of DHA and EPA and provides the same anti-inflammatory effects.
