Determining your body type allows you to work with your body instead of against it. Our Body Type and Weight Management Program is not a weight loss program, however it is a WEIGHT CONTROL AND BALANCING program. The program will assist individuals with their food cravings and in reducing body fat without the feeling of denial that has long been associated with dieting.



You may have experienced quick but short-term weight loss when dieting in the past. When weight is lost rapidly, it is often because you are losing excess fluid which your body has been retaining. Pounds dropped quickly are often gained back in a short period of time.



The best way to lose weight is to do it slowly. That's the way to avoid the “yo-yo" diet syndrome, where you are forever losing and gaining the same pounds. With our program, you should first find that your clothes fit more loosely than before, even though your weight has changed little. Later, you will slowly begin to lose pounds along with the inches.



Using our program, you won't have to prepare special foods to maintain your nutritional balance and good health. The following information will show you how easy it is to choose among your balancing foods.



ENZYMES

No matter what our particular Body Type is, the one thing we all have in common is that we must be able to digest, utilize and assimilate what we eat, as well as eliminate what we don't need. The body's ability to do these things efficiently can lead to fatigue, unusual weight loss or gain, constipation or diarrhea and a weakened immune system. Enzymes help the body to process foods optimally.



ANTI-AGING

There is substantial evidence today that certain nutrient factors can dramatically slow down the aging process. When we make informed choices among our balancing foods, our bodies are given the opportunity to heal themselves.



HORMONES

Each body type represents particular glands which are part of the endocrine system. These glands operate the workings of our body by producing hormones that travel through our blood to targeted glands and cells. They literally control every process in the body, from how many times our hearts beat to how tall, short, thin or fat we may be. Our IsoZymes feeds and fortifies the endocrine glands that rule our bodies. They do not stimulate but rather balance the system.



CONSTIPATION

The correct food choices will begin balancing the large intestines and our body will not suffer from toxicity, which in many cases leads to headaches and a feeling of general non-wellness.



DIGESTION

The digestive process is a lengthy one, during which the foods we eat go through a number of stages in order to be broken down into forms that provide energy, oxygen and “life" to our bodies.



Foods we eat stay in the upper part of the stomach from forty-five minutes to over one hour before moving down into the lower part of the stomach. During that time, only sugars and carbohydrates begin to be digested by the enzyme amylase, found in saliva and in the upper part of the stomach. The food then moves to the lower part of the stomach where ideally, the body produces the correct proportions of hydrochloric acid and pepsin to begin digesting the protein in the food. The stomach can become very acidic at this point. As food moves into the intestines, the body should release the proper amounts of bicarbonate, pancreatic enzymes and bile to finish the digestive process.



Our IsoZymes taken at the beginning of the meal allowing digestion of all foods to begin while the foods are in the waiting stage. This takes stress off the body. IsoZyme can also be taken between meals and in the evening to aid in detoxification of the body.





BODY TYPES – 4 KINDS



BODY TYPE ONE

Body Type One belongs to that part of the endocrine system most stimulated by sugars and carbohydrates. It represents the characteristics of ones eating habits that stimulate the parathyroid and thyroid glands, major glands of the endocrine system. The endocrine system consists of glands that regulate body activity by special secretions, the hormones, which are delivered directly in the blood. Each of the glands within the endocrine system has one or more specific functions, however they are all dependent upon the other glands in the system for maintenance of a normal hormonal balance in the body.



You are born with specific Body Type One traits, such as the way you are shaped, the food cravings you have, the symptoms resulting from an over-stimulated thyroid, personality traits, and the powerful energy and drive you feel when you are in balance. Your tendency is to be a very intuitive individual and very much liked for your wit and caring attitude for others, and when you are in balance you are very much in control of your world.



When the parathyroid/thyroid has been over-stimulated for a prolonged period of time, it may lead to the exhaustion of the glands. The following symptoms may appear:



Fatigue

Weight Loss

Skin Problems

Insomnia

Cramps in Legs

Lethargy

Nervousness

Osteoporosis

Heart Palpitations

Cold Hands & Feet

Restlessness

Hypoglycemia

Low Blood Pressure

Obesity



Body Type One is unable to utilize vitamin C and deliver calcium efficiently. They have an increased need for the B vitamins and potassium. It is important to feed and fortify the endocrine system as a whole, not just the parathyroid/thyroid glands. The thyroid is supported by the pituitary, suprarenals and the gonadal systems. A change in diet and the use of IsoZyme to digest all foods will help the body achieve balance. Proper hormonal balance eliminates stress on the thyroid gland and thus on the entire endocrine system.



Body Type One crave carbohydrates; vegetarianism is a natural choice for them. However, protein is very important to this body type, so it is crucial to plan your diet wisely.



To accomplish this you must be educated about the plant protein foods. If you don't eat complete protein foods, containing all the amino acids, or foods which in combination provide complete protein, you will eventually create an endocrine deficiency. The results could be hypoglycemia, border-line diabetes, nervous disorders and thyroid conditions, to name a few.

BODY TYPE TWO



Body Type Two belongs to that part of the endocrine system most stimulated by spicy, fried and fatty foods high in salt content. It represents the characteristics of ones eating habits that stimulate the gonadal system (sex glands), a major gland of the endocrine system. The endocrine system consist of glands that regulate body activity by special secretions, the hormones which are delivered directly in the blood. Each of the glands within the endocrine system has one or more specific functions, but they all are dependent upon the other glands in the system for maintenance of a normal hormonal balance in the body.

Eczema

Allergies

Psoriasis



Body Type Two is unable to utilize fatty acids, amino acids, hormones and B vitamins. It is important to feed and fortify the endocrine system as a whole, not just the gonads. The gonads are supported by the pituitary, suprarenal and the parathyroid systems. A change in diet and the use of IsoZyme to digest all foods (especially fats) will help the body achieve balance.

BODY TYPE THREE



Body Type Three belongs to that part of the endocrine system most stimulated by proteins. Although you are drawn to other foods besides protein, it represents the characteristics of ones eating habits that stimulate the suprarenal gland, a major gland of the endocrine system. The endocrine system consists of the glands that regulate body activity by special secretions, the hormones which are delivered directly in the blood. Each of the glands within the endocrine system has one or more specific functions, but they all are dependent upon the other glands in the system for maintenance of a normal hormonal balance in the body.

BODY TYPE FOUR



Body Type Four belongs to that part of the endocrine system most stimulated by dairy and fatty foods. It represents the characteristics of ones eating habits that stimulate the nerve and pituitary system, major glands of the endocrine system. The endocrine system consists of glands that regulate body activity by special secretions, the hormones which are directly delivered in the blood. Information concerned with the well being of an individual and gathered by the nervous system is transmitted by the hypothalamus, which regulates secretion of pituitary hormones. The activities of the nervous system and the endocrine system are thereby correlated.

A change in diet and the use of IsoZymes to digest all foods will help the body achieve balance.
