SUGAR… IN MODERATION? PART I

You may find it interesting to know that sugar is the largest source of calories for individuals living in industrialized nations. Sugar not only increases blood sugar and insulin levels, but it is also a major driver of fat accumulation and inflammation throughout the body. Read More

PLEASE… STEP AWAY FROM THE SUGAR!

Most people are surprised to learn of the effects of many different foods on their bodies while on the Genesis weight loss program.

THE EFFECTS OF WHEAT AND OTHER GRAINS ON YOUR HEALTH – Part I

There is so much confusion with the topic of grains. Perhaps we should start by talking about what it looks like to be grain-free. It not only involves excluding wheat products - which have a myriad of variations like semolina and durum (which you usually see in pastas), spelt, farina, graham, rye, barley and malt, as well as others; but, also, in gluten-free grains like corn, rice and oats. Oats don’t normally contain gluten, however, today there is a lot of cross-contamination from wheat fields. Read More

Today we will look at the cell’s problem, why we can’t burn fat, and why we remain as sugar burners. It’s all about the hormonal receptors on the cells and their ability to connect with the hormones like thyroid, leptin, ghrelin and insulin. Thyroid has a lot to do with your cell’s ability to use fat for energy. Leptin controls your appetite and, indirectly, your body’s ability to burn fat; ghrelin (your hunger hormone) stimulates your appetite, increases food intake and promotes fat storage; and insulin, when it is high, tells your body to store fat.

HOW STRESS IS HURTING YOUR WEIGHT LOSS – Part I

  • I can’t begin to tell you how much appreciation I have for the Tanzar’s and this program. Truly a life changing decision when I invested in this program. Genesis is a very apt title but it’s also like a rebirth. I’m on my second life which is healthy, happy and pain free. I lost 85 lbs in 4 months, maybe less time. That is about 15 lbs more than my goal. So excited about the rest of my life!
