Liquid Collagen and Weight Loss
Sunday, 07.01.2007, 11:24am (GMT)
You may have heard of collagen. Collagen is the protein that is in
connective tissues in animals, and in human beings, collagen makes up
the most amounts of all proteins in our bodies, with 25% of our protein
being collagen. However, you have probably heard that collagen is used
in cosmetic surgeries - which it is.
But for people who are overweight, collagen holds the most interest in
the fact that it is the protein that feeds our muscles and builds lean
muscle mass. What many dieters may not realize is that lean muscle mass
is what helps the body burn fat for fuel, causing us to lose weight or
maintain weight. So, the more lean muscle mass we have, thanks to
collagen, the more fat we burn - and the faster we reach our weight
goals.
Another benefit of collagen is that it improves the appearance and
elasticity of the skin, and has many other beneficial effects on the
overall function of the body as well. Think of this as an added bonus
to your weight loss!
One of the biggest problems with diets is that the human body was not
designed to diet. When we cut calories, as we are instructed to do in
order to lose weight, the body goes into starvation mode. During
starvation mode, the body starts feeding on lean muscle mass for fuel,
and at the same time, it starts storing fat for reserves.
This is a big problem. The body needs the muscle mass that it is losing
to lose the fat. But no matter how hard you try to convince your body
to use the fat instead of the muscle for fuel, it won't - because it
thinks it is starving, and it thinks that it may need that fat in the
near future to survive!
It's like trying to convince someone to hand all their savings over to
you - obviously they won't do that, because that is money that they may
need in the future! They will bank that money - thank you very much -
just as your body ‘banks' it's fat. Just as their bank balance will
grow, your body's fat balance will grow as well.
Fortunately, there is a liquid collagen formula designed to help your
body burn fat, instead of muscle, during the first ninety minutes of
sleep, when your metabolism is most active.
You can now literally lose weight while you sleep - with no ill side
effects. In fact, people who have used it report that they are not only
losing weight, they also sleep better at night and have more energy
during the day. It is made with all natural ingredients, so you don't
have to worry about side effects, and it won't cause nervousness like
other diet products either.
If you didn't think it was possible to lose weight while you sleep,
without having to diet, science has proven that it is so. When we eat
our evening meal, if we don't eat anything else before we go to bed, we
are fasting. When you combine that twelve to thirteen hour fast, with
increased metabolism, and a product that forces your body to use fat
instead of muscle during that fast, there is nothing to prevent weight
loss!
