12 The Clarington Independent, Bowmanville, Saturday, October 29,1994 I By Dr. Kathlynn Hoch D.C., F.I.A.C.A. Loosing Fat Gaining Muscle with Chromium Picolinate Many scientific studies have been done that repeatedly show a reduction reduction in body fat even without dieting or exercises using Chromium Picolinate. Picolinate. This is good news for people who might be chromium deficient and fighting the battle of the bulge! Even more exciting is the news that chromium picolinate acts to reduce fat while preserving vital organs and building die muscles that shape the body. Chromium Picolinate is not a drug that strips away pounds of fat, but works to promote permanent fat 'oss because it normalizes metabolism. metabolism. When the positive benefit of chromium picolinate is complemented, complemented, as it emphatically should be by a reduction in dietaiy fat and an increase increase in exercise,.the fat loss is proportionally proportionally accelerated. I know how difficult it can be to lose weight, I have had experience with many people caught in the dieting dieting "Yo Yo Syndrome". Remember: Nine out of ten people studied were found to be deficient in chromium because they did not get the minimum amount of chromium required. Chromium deficiency increases fat production because it slows the burning of food for energy. The nonfuel nonfuel food calories are then converted to fat and stored in fat tissues. Chromium Chromium deficiency upsets the appetite control centre and can cause a "false hunger". Chromium deficiency also contributes to wild swings in blood sugar levels that can result in serious mood changes. Chromium picolinate helps take weight off by reducing body fat and increasing lean muscle mass. Sounds to good to be true! There are two principle modes of action; a feedback mechanism to turn off hunger, and an indirect mechanism to boost metabolism metabolism and thus bum more calories. The second mode of action is to increase the burning of stored body fat. Your metabolic rate is directly proportional to your muscle mass. Chromium and insulin work together to build muscle tissue. Muscle tissue demands energy even when the muscles aren't being used. When patients consult with me regarding regarding unsuccessful weight loss or dieting, a thorough health history is taken. For successful weight management management it is sometimes necessary to first undergo a cleansing and detoxification detoxification program. Some tips on faster fat loss are: reduce reduce overall fat intake, keep a daily record of everything you eat. Drink more water (8 glasses per day), exercise exercise within your target heart rate daily daily minimum 15 minutes. Reduce snacks and don't eat after dinner. Increase Increase your high carbohydrate foods. Weigh yourself only once every 2 weeks. Let the feel of your clothes tell you that you are trimmer and leaner. Many patients are experiencing for the first time positive results.
