Lipotropic Injections

• The Lipotropic Injections Diet Plan

Lipotropics are substances that help break down and metabolize fats that may be stored in the body. The Huntington College of Health Sciences published a report indicating the benefit of certain lipotropic agents, as well as their beneficial effects on fat mobilization, cholesterol levels, and overall heart health.

The full report can be found here: http://www.hchs.edu/literature/Lecithin-Lipotropics.pdf

The Lipotropic products come in two forms, MIC and the Lipo product, which contains MIC, as well as vitamin B12 in the form of Cyanocobalamin. The addition of B12 in the Lipo product may aid in metabolism and energy, when on a calorie-restricted diet. The diet plan recommended is the same plan by the US Department of Health and Human Services, and the National Institution of Health. It is a 1200-1300 calorie diet for women, and 1500-1600 calorie diet for men that can be followed safely and has several variations. It is designed to aid in weight loss, as well as promote a healthy body and heart. The plan is less restrictive than other low-calorie plans, and pays special attention to whole grain carbs, fruits, vegetables, and lean portions of meat and portion sizes.

While the exchange list allows some “white” carbs such as white bread, it is best to limit these as much as possible; whole grain products contain more fiber and typically provide better nutrition. In addition this program, not only allows physical activity, but it actually encourages some light to moderate exercise, such as a brisk walk at least three times per week.
