ENJOY YOUR SUNDAY

STAY DRY SOCAL

Phen-Fen

PHENTERMINE & FENFLURAMINE

Pondimin and Redux

this anti obesity drug was pulled form the market in 1997

it basically catered to the brain's biology of over eating

the combo worked together to fight our mind's reward circuits

to retrain the body

scientists thought habit suppression was the key

these two drugs worked hand in hard to target

SEROTONIN & DOPAMINE

phen-fen would increase serotonin levels to shut down the reaction of dopamine, which would reduce the activity in reward pathways

the reason we struggle with food cravings and addictions

1. THE FOOD INDUSTRY

has it's strategies down to a science....literally

the foods that are served in restaurants

packaged on shelves

advertised in commercials

ALL HAVE NEED ENGINEERED FOR ADDICTION

FOODS ARE BUILT

LAYER UPON LAYER TO APPEAL TO EVERY SENCE

SIGHT, SOUND, SMELL, TEXTURE & TASTE

hyperpalatable foods are hypterstimulating

sugar fat salt

you crave them

when you see a picture you can almost taste it

you will actually rip your ass from the couch

and go out in search of

chips, ice cream, burgers & beer

this is because

once you have this particular item

and repetitively enjoy it

your body has a chemical response

dopamine is stimulated in the brain to create the pursuit

the rebuttal of consumption is an opiod-driven reward

more over eating to feel better

longer of a delay on feeling full

more loss of control

more preoccupation with food

more habit driven behavior

ultimately more weight gain

THIS DRUG WAS BANNED

BECAUSE IT ALTERED YOUR BRAIN CHEM

THOUGH IT DID ALLOW OBESE CLIENTS TO "FEEL NORMAL"

THE CRAVINGS/THOUGHTS WERE NOT HTERE

FOOD STOPPED RUNNING THERE LIVES.

SO WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM?

Two rare cardiopulmonary conditions have been linked to the use of fen-phen. Studies in the U.S. and abroad discovered heart valve damage in a relatively high percentage of long-term fen-phen users, compared to those who took the drugs only for very brief periods or not at all. Heart valve disease occurs when the valves become malformed, making them much less efficient in pumping blood. The other disorder is PPH, or primary pulmonary hypertension. This occurs when the blood vessels in the lungs become constricted, raising blood pressure in the pulmonary artery. Both of these conditions are difficult to treat and sometimes even difficult to diagnose. They can lead to heart failure and death.

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE HUH?

I KNOW IT'S HARD TO STOP THOSE DOGGONE EATING HABITS

BUT HEALTH & WELL BEING SHOULD BE YOUR DRIVING FORCE FOR IT ALL!

STABILIZE YOUR BLOOD SUGAR

I HEART SNEAKERS

on my ventures this past week.....

i was in Portland & San Fran and back to LA from Wed to Friday

.....i seemed to have acquired way too many new pairs of sneaks (& a pair o'heels)

all very different but all make my heart pitter patter

this is what happens

when two NIKE lunatics

hit the employee store in a rental car

(the floating bag behind the seat, is sitting on a PACKED to the brim trunk)

when i returned home

to my surprise i had NOT 1 NOT 2 BUT 3 boxes

PRESENTS?

INDEED

my chicks at nike decided they would send me an amazing array

of sports bras, tights, tanks, t's, sweats & jackets

OMG
