Diet Trends

Most diets will show results fast - in fact often too fast. Dropping fat at a fast pace leads to the "Yo-Yo" syndrome, which is when you lose weight and it comes right back. Why is that? When you first begin any diet you will lose weight quickly as your body disposes of excess water and bloat. As long as you stick to your diet (easier said then done) and exercise regularly you should continue to lose weight. At some point you stop doing the things that helped you achieve your goals. This is when weight gain can reappear. Nobody wants to live their life counting every calorie they eat.

Making xLA a part of your daily routine will help ensure that the weight you lose stays off. By using xLA even after you're satisfied with the new you, you're allowing yourself to eat healthy and even splurge here and there without worrying about rapid weight gain which would defeat all of the hard work you achieved.

xLA is a wonderful complement to virtually all popular diets including the recently validated Atkins Diet. Being on a low carbohydrate diet can be rough. Your brain is craving carbohydrates and then once you start indulging, the diet has been ruined. Getting through a day or so isn't that hard but when you reach midweek it becomes painful. One option is to eat ketogenic diet friendly foods like breadless bread and flourless pancakes. However, your goal should be to enjoy while dieting and to become healthy and maintain a healthy way of life. Certainly you do not want to eat a diet full of things that tastes like a combination of baby powder and hay!

xLA allows you to cheat while on The Atkins Diet. We're not telling you to wander off Dr. Atkins' path, but if the craving for carbs becomes unbearable, you will feel good knowing that the xLA you are taking (extra before you cheat) will allow you stay in the state of "ketosis" which is the goal of the diet.
