Silicones are best known for their sensory, emollient, and slightly occlusive properties. The ingredient gives ‘silky-smooth’, velvety finish to skin and hair after application. Apart from improving the sensory of the products, silicones do not have any real tangible skin and hair benefits. It’s been reported that silicone applied topically from skin care products can lead to breakouts. And this is due to its barrier property that traps other comedogenic substances, thereby increasing the chance of acne. Silicones are also bioaccumulative. Once they’re rinsed down the drain, they contribute to the buildup of sludge pollution in oceans and waterways and may not break down for hundreds of years. You can check whether a skin care product contains silicone by scanning the ingredients list on the back of the product packaging. Anything that ends in -cone or -siloxane is a silicone; dimethicone, cyclomethicone, cyclopentasiloxane.
Parabens are chemical preservatives found in the majority of skin care and hair care products. The role of parabens in these products is to reduce the growth of harmful bacteria and mold and therefore increase product shelf-life. Research has demonstrated that parabens can easily absorb through your skin, and daily application of beauty products with parabens can cause them to accumulate in our body. The concern with these chemicals is that scientific studies suggest that parabens can disrupt hormones in the body and harm fertility and reproductive organs, affect birth outcomes, and increase the risk of cancer. They can also cause skin irritation.
Formaldehyde in beauty care products function as a preservative i.e. an ingredient that reduces the growth of harmful bacteria and mold and therefore increases the shelf-life of the product. In 2014, formaldehyde was classified as a carcinogen and category-one skin sensitizer, meaning it could cause an allergic skin reaction. Banning of formaldehyde was later on extended to include ingredients which are classified as ‘formaldehyde donors’ i.e. substance that releases formaldehyde to achieve a preserving function in the finished products. An example of such substances include Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) and the combination Methylchloroisothiazolinone / Methylisothiazolinone (CIT/MIT). As of 16th April 2016, leave-on cosmetic products containing the combination Methylchloroisothiazolinone / Methylisothiazolinone (CIT/MIT) have been banned from the European market. As of 12th February 2017, the preservative Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) used alone was also banned in leave-on cosmetic products.
There are millions of tons of plastic swirling around the world’s oceans. Less than 10% of the plastic we discard every day is recycled. Much of it ends up in landfills, where it may take up to 1,000 years to decompose. Every minute, over seven kilos of microplastics from cosmetics and personal care products end up in the European environment, according to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). Microplastics, by definition, are solid, water-insoluble and non-biodegradable plastic particle pieces that measure less than 5mm in diameter. Generally speaking, there are two types of microplastics: microplastics that have formed by breaking away from larger plastics that have fragmented over time, and there are microplastics that have been made small intentionally, for example cosmetic microbeads used in facial scrubs, opacifier that gives white and creamy look in body cleansing liquids and hair shampoos, and fragrance encapsulates that helps reduce the amount of fragrance used in the products. Microplastics are extremely persistent, which means it is almost impossible to remove them from the environment where they accumulate. These microplastics amass in landfill sites or end up in the natural environment, eventually finding their way into rivers, streams and oceans. This poses a serious threat to marine and freshwater organisms, as well as to humans because humans are at the end of the food chain. What’s proven to be very frightening is that the very latest scientific study (March 2022) indicates that researchers had found microplastics in the blood of 17 of 22 of study participants, or about 77 percent. As a result, in 2019 European Chemicals Agency proposed banning all microplastics added to beauty and personal care products and other industries. The ban would stop 10,000 to 60,000 tonnes of plastic leaking into the environment every year.
Also known as ‘paraffinum liquidum’, mineral oil is a colorless and odorless petroleum derivative. When used in cosmetics, mineral oil is highly refined and purified and, therefore, does not contain the contaminants that unrefined petroleum has been known for. It functions as an emollient and commonly found in cosmetic and skin care products. Mineral oil is occlusive in nature which means it locks moisture into the skin, softens skin, and improves skin barrier function. Concerns around mineral oil relate to how the ingredient functions, sitting on top of skin and forming a barrier between skin and the environment, locking in moisture. Whether mineral oil is harmful when applied topically is therefore a myth. However, given the suspicion and the fact that different people react differently to different ingredients, and also for certain biodegradability (ability of an ingredient to be broken down into CO2, mineral, and water) of mineral oils is very low, W Worry-Free opts out from formulating with mineral oil and instead goes with alternative ‘natural oil’ options that functions similarly to mineral oil.
An acronym for Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (and Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate), SLS (and ALS) are what’s known as a ‘surfactant’. This means it lowers the surface tension between ingredients, which is why it’s used as a cleansing and foaming agent. SLS is found in personal care cleansing products, hair shampoos, toothpastes, as well as household cleansers. The fact that the ingredient is used in both personal washes and household cleansers led to some questions and concerns regarding ingredient safety. Multiple scientific bodies have reviewed SLS as an ingredient in personal care and cleaning products and determined its typical use in these applications to be safe for consumers. there is no scientific evidence to suggest that skin contact with SLS causes hair loss and no scientific evidence indicating that SLS is a carcinogen. However, SLS binds to proteins on the skin's surface and therefore has the potential to be irritating. It disrupts skin barrier function which leads to water-loss and therefore dry, damage skin.
Soap is a cleansing agent made with a strong alkali solution — typically a mix of sodium hydroxide and natural fats and oils. Given its high pH (as high as 11), soap is known to alter skin pH (healthy skin pH is around 5.5, which is slightly acidic) and therefore disrupts the healthy environment of the skin microbiome. Soap also strips off skin moisturizing lipids and therefore causes skin damage.
Artificial Colorants are added into the personal care products merely for looks, making products more appealing. However, these colorants are one of the causes of Irritation and Inflammation. They can block pores and interfere with skin's natural oil balance, which makes skin prone to blemishes. Moreover, given the fact that artificial colorants are made by using coal tar, petroleum or heavy metals salts like arsenic and lead, colorants run the risk of having contaminants like lead and arsenic which are toxic to skin. These toxins greatly increase this risk of skin sensitivity and irritation and
In cosmetic labeling, the term "alcohol," used by itself, refers to ethyl alcohol. This is very different from other alcohols, such as cetyl alcohol and cetearyl alcohol which are fatty alcohols, and their effects on the skin are very different from those of ethyl alcohol. Cetyl alcohol, for example, protects skin barrier from drying out and preventing water loss. Alcohol (ethyl alcohol) is a cheap chemical to use in skin and personal care products for the following purposes: gives skin a temporary cooling, refreshing and tightening sensation. It also helps improve product sensory making product textures to feel light-weight. However, scientific evidence shows that alcohol enters the skin and removes measurable quantities of the lipid barrier material from the stratum corneum. This lipid extraction leads to compromised skin barrier function which leads to trans epidermal water loss and eventually dry skin.
One of the most skin-friendly ingredients found in nature latest to be discovered to have phenomenal benefits to skin. Hemp seed oil has been shown to have powerful anti-inflammatory properties, making it useful in treating a variety of skin conditions that include premature aging. Hemp seed oil, pressed from seeds of Cannabis plant (Cannabis sativa L.), is super rich in two essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA): Omega-3 fatty acid (Alpha-linolenic acid) and the Omega-6 fatty acid (Linoleic acid). The human body is capable of producing all the fatty acids it needs, except these two. These two Omega-3 and Omega-6 have to be consumed from the diet and are termed “essential fatty acids”. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acid found in hemp seed oil is in the most ideal ratio of 1:3. Fatty acids are critical components of skin lipids which not only help maintain structural integrity of epidermis but also acidic skin surface pH (4.0-5.5) and diversity of skin microbiome. These fatty acids boost natural lipid production which enhances skin barrier and further strengthens the skin and prevents TEWL (trans-epidermal water loss). Hemp seed oil also acts as an emollient so it hydrates and nourishes all types of skin and helps smoothen rough texture on the skin's surface. On top of all these, hemp seed oil can also help regulate skin’s oil production. And given that the oil is naturally non-comedogenic, it does all these incredible jobs without clogging the pores.
Hemp seed oil is packed with vitamin E (562.8 mg/kg), twice as much as much as Almond (256.3 mk/kg), that can help significantly increase skin hydration. Vitamin E in Hemp seed oil is also a potent antioxidant that help combat the environmental damage to skin.
Apart from being rich in vitamins, fiber and minerals, apples are also rich in phytochemical and pectin, which all help in detox. Pectin flushes out food additives and metals in our body. The acids in apple (malic and tartaric) help in digestion.
Apples pack in a lot of fiber. One apple with around 4 grams of fiber accounts for about 16 percent of the daily recommended fiber intake for women and around 10 percent for men under age 50
As it stimulates the growth and activity of helpful bacteria, apple fibre is considered a prebiotic. What’s more, it may help inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, such as Clostridium and Bacteroides, in the digestive tract
Coconut oil is extracted from the meat of mature coconut fruit. Various mechanical and chemical processes can be used to extract coconut oil, however, cold-pressed coconut oil is highly preferred for Skin Care products. That’s because when coconut oil is cold pressed, the oil is removed without the use of heat, the process is thought to retain more of the oil's nutrients compared to other processing methods. Coconut oil is rich in medium-chain saturated fatty acids, makes up about 65% of its total coconut oil composition. These fatty acids from coconut oil, when applied topically on skin, can help boost ceramide production and therefore strengthen skin barrier. This helps with skin’s ability to retain moisture, and protect against environmental aggressors. As an emollient, coconut oil has the ability to act as a protective layer that sits on top of the skin and locks in moisture, while also preventing transepidermal water loss (where water passes through the skin and evaporates into the air). Skin then remains healthy with a radiant glow. Apart from being a moisturizing powerhouse, the fatty acid composition (almost 50% Lauric acid) in coconut oil also has antimicrobial properties that can help protect against harmful microorganisms and therefore helps prevent skin problems like acne. Coconut oil is also known for its antioxidant property.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in our body. There are 28 known types of collagen, with type I collagen accounting for 90% of the collagen in the human body. Collagen is formed from three very long chains of thousands of amino acids twisting into a helix formation. The molecular mass of collagen is about 300 – 400kDa. The huge size of collagen molecules makes it extremely difficult to absorb into skin and hair shafts when applied topically from a haircare product. That’s why W Worry-Free choose ‘collagen peptide’ (or ‘hydrolyzed collagen). Collagen peptides, also known as hydrolyzed collagen, are produced by breaking down the much larger collagen molecules, while maintaining the same sets of amino acids: glycine (Gly), hydroxyproline (Hyp), proline (Pro) and alanine (Ala). Collagen peptides are highly bioactive and bioavailable making it easy to get absorbed into skin and hair. The amino acid component in collagen peptides forms one of the key amino acid building blocks for hair protein structural fiber; keratin. Supplying hair with amino acids not only fortifies but also hydrates hair strands. This leads to hair feeling more manageable and requiring less effort to style.
Cranberries are a rich source of essential vitamins and minerals needed for good health. Vitamins and minerals aid in normal body functioning, energy metabolism and preventing health risks such as heart disease and stroke. Cranberries are high in vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and C as well as magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, folic acid, potassium, sodium and selenium. Many of these nutrients are necessary for healthy liver function to help keep your body in balance.
Cranberries help eliminate toxins from the body by detoxing the liver. The liver, which is the largest internal organ in your body, works to support digestion and break down foods that enter your body.Healthy liver function is essential to flushing toxins from the body, as the liver must distinguish between nutrients that need to be absorbed in the body and toxins that must be eliminated from the blood. The high antioxidant levels of cranberries assist the liver in its detoxification processes.
Emblica exhibits strong antioxidant activity. It is one of the most important plants in the traditional Ayurvedic medical system as well as in other traditional health systems for immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antiulcer, hepatoprotective, and anticancer actions.
Its fruit is a rich dietary source of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), various minerals, amino acids, as well as phenolic compounds.
The peel of the fruit contains high amounts of hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which is the active ingredient believed to be responsible for most of its weight loss benefits.
Garcinia cambogia impacts blood fats and the production of new fatty acids.The main reason for these effects may be that garcinia cambogia inhibits an enzyme called citrate lyase, which plays an important role in the production of fat By inhibiting citrate lyase, garcinia cambogia is thought to slow or block fat production in your body. This may reduce blood fats and lower your risk of weight gain.
Hyaluronic acid is the hydration booster for thirsty skin. Think of hyaluronic acid as a BIG drink of water for your skin. It is able to hold up to 1,000 times its molecular weight in water. Hyaluronic acid penetrates the skin and binds water to skin cells, infusing all layers of the skin with valuable, rejuvenating moisture. This fundamentally builds inner skin strength to stand strong against dehydration before it leads to any issues.
After infusing the epidermis (top layer of the skin) with valuable moisture, hyaluronic acid acts as a humectant and continues to draw moisture in from the surrounding environment. This provides lasting hydration for the skin.
Besides, Hyaluronic acid also helps skin’s natural barriers to lock moisture in for an even more dramatic hydrating effect. Over time, this can help slow down the deterioration of the lipid barrier and help protect and fortify it. When the lipid barrier is further enhanced and protected by hyaluronic acid, the skin is better at defending itself against environmental age-factors and pollutants.
Grapeseed oil is a lightweight oil that is extracted from the seeds of grapes. It has the ability to penetrate skin quickly, leaving skin soft, supple, and moisturized. Grapeseed oil’s beauty benefits may be due to its Vitamin E, phenolic compound, and omega-6 fatty acid content. Grapeseed oil is high in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), mostly omega-6 fatty acids, and Vitamin E. Vitamin E content found in grapeseed oil is even more than that in olive oil. Vitamin E is an extremely powerful antioxidant which makes it super effective in fighting off free radicals and reducing UV damage while softening the appearance of hyperpigmentation and wrinkles. Grapeseed oil is non-comedogenic, meaning it does not clog pores.
Jojoba oil is the liquid that is produced from the seeds of the Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) plant. It is known for its high-temperature and high-salinity tolerance growth ability. Jojoba plants thrive in harsh desert climates that could kill most living things. W Worry-Free uses USDA-Certified Organic jojoba plants grown without the use of pesticides, chemical/synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, genetically modified organisms. The seed of jojoba produces unique high-quality oil with a wide range of applications. Jojoba oil became widely known in the 18th and 19th centuries where native Americans used the crushed seed oil for skin care and medicinal purposes. Jojoba oil has multiple skin benefits associated with anti-inflammation, barrier function, and skin hydration. Jojoba oil comprises up to 50% wax esters making it a close match to natural human sebum. Being one of the closest to skin natural oil, Jojoba oil helps balance skin’s oil production. The lightweight Jojoba oil is rich in vitamin E, a potent antioxidant that defends the skin against oxidative damage, which contributes to signs of aging.
When it comes to benefits for hair, Jojoba oil, being very similar to human sebum in terms of compositions, functions as a good lubricant for protecting hair from damages & split ends. Jojoba oil may also help protect hair from pollution. Hair is considered one of the most efficient substrates that attracts pollution. So much so that human hair analysis plays such a vital role in the global monitoring of pollution that the Global Environmental Monitoring System (GEMS) of the United Nations Environment Program selected human hair as one of the most important monitoring biomaterials. Free radicals that formed as a result of pollution exposure destroys cuticles and exposes the hair fiber to further damage. Being rich in Vitamin E, which is one of the most potent antioxidants, Jojoba oil may help support a healthy scalp and hair, fend off free radicals and oxidative stress caused by external aggressors like pollution and assist with maintaining good hair quality.
Referred to as “liquid gold”, extra Virgin Olive Oil’s major component is Oleic Acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid (Omega-9 fatty acid) found naturally in many plants and is considered one of the healthiest sources of fat. Applying topically, Olive oil has an ability to regulate the natural moisturizing system of the skin which helps improve skin flexibility and elasticity. Olive oil also possesses great antioxidant capability. This is attributed to high amounts of phenol as well as α-tocopherol found in olive oil which is approximately 4 times more than that in average seed oils. It is rich in antioxidants which means the ingredient also helps remove free radicals and therefore assists in preventing premature signs of ageing. In addition to α-tocopherol, extra virgin olive oil contains some carotenoids such as β-carotene and lutein. The presence of numerous and varied antioxidants agents is of importance because diverse antioxidants act synergistically.
Probiotics are healthy bacteria in your gut that break down certain foods, kill dangerous organisms, and create vitamins. Prebiotics are specialized plant fibers that can help feed these good bacteria. They act like fertilizers that promote/stimulate the growth of probiotics in the gut, supporting the body in building and maintaining a healthy colony of bacteria and other microorganisms, which supports the gut and aids digestion. The following health benefits are attributed to prebiotics: relief from poor digestion of lactose, increased resistance to bacterial infection, better immune response and possible protection against cancer, reduction of the risk of diseases such as intestinal disease, cardiovascular disease, non-insulin dependent diabetes, obesity and osteoporosis.
Xylooligosaccharides are a natural prebiotic extracted from plant fiber. Study found that taking XOS led to gastrointestinal and metabolic improvements, which inhibits less-desirable bacteria and promotes healthy bacteria, decreased triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood and increased levels in feces, and decreased blood sugar, protecting against type II diabetes and metabolic syndrome. XOS also reduces blood levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose.
Inulin is a type of oligosaccharide called a fructan. Fructans are a chain of fructose (sugar) molecules strung together. Inulin is fermented by bacteria that normalize the colon and is considered a prebiotic. Prebiotics may improve gastrointestinal health as well as potentially enhance calcium absorption.
Inulin is classified as a prebiotic because of its ability to stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacteria. Increasing the number of good bacteria in your gut can help to decrease the number of bad bacteria that can lead to a variety of symptoms including inflammation and reduced nutrient absorption.
Fructooligosaccharides are a type of carbohydrate made up of short chains of fructose molecules, which is a specific type of sugar. FOS then are used as alternative sweeteners because they carry less calories than sugar; they do not cause a spike in blood sugar
Fructooligosaccharides are prebiotics. They are sugar molecules that your body is unable to digest. They pass into your intestines through your stomach where beneficial bacteria and yeast eat them. During this process, they cleanse your system, help you digest your food and boost your immunity.
Because psyllium absorbs liquid in your body, it can help give you a feeling of being full. This can help you control the amount of food you eat.
Its resistance to digestion allows it to help regulate high cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood sugar levels. It can also aid weight management and relieve mild diarrhea as well as constipation
Initially, it works by binding to partially digested food that is passing from the stomach into the small intestine.It then helps with the absorption of water, which increases the size and moisture of stools. The end product is bigger and easier-to-pass stools.
Unlike rose oil, which is extracted from rose petals, rosehip oil is pressed from the fruit and seeds of the rose plant. The ingredient is famous for its ability to moisturize and help with anti-aging. This is due to its fatty acid and vitamin contents. The most abundant fatty acids found in rosehip is linoleic acid (Omega-6, 35.9–54.8%) and
Shea butter comes from the kernels of shea trees, which are native to West Africa. Traditionally, parts of the shea tree were famous for their anti-inflammatory benefits. But in the world of modern beauty, it's most valued for its proven skincare abilities. Its high concentration of vitamins and fatty acids — combined with its easy-to-spread consistency — makes it a great product for smoothing, soothing, and conditioning skin. Shea butter contains several types of fatty acids including linoleic, oleic, palmitic and stearic acids - all the beneficial ingredients that helps improve the skin's natural barrier. It works as an emollient that not only softens and hydrates skin but also protects skin from damage from the environment like pollutants.
• Spirulina is one type of blue-green algae. It is very high in protein and is also a rich source of essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.
• Spirulina contains about 60 percent protein. Spirulina’s lipid content is rich in gammo linolenic acid (GLA) and linoleic acid (LA). Spirulina contains vitamins B1 (Thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 , B6 , B9 (folic acid) as well as vitamins A and C. It is also a source of potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and several other minerals and micronutrients. This amazing “superfood” also contains many pigments which may be beneficial as antioxidants, including zeaxanthin, phycocyanins, beta carotene, and other carotenoids.
Native to Mediterranean countries, almond oil is commonly used to moisturize skin and help treat conditions such as eczema. Sweet almond oil, scientifically known as Prunus dulcis, is produced by pressing the kernels of ripe seeds derived from the almond tree. Uses for sweet almond oil in skin care depend on the extract’s strong emollient properties. Its main constituents include glycerides, ceramides, and fatty acids such as oleic, linoleic, and palmitic acid. These compounds enable sweet almond oil skin benefits to greatly improve hydration levels. Topical application of sweet almond oil can work as an occlusive layer to reduce the amount of moisture loss from the surface, thus retaining more water content in the stratum corneum. By integrating into the skin’s membrane barrier, sweet almond oil can work to reinforce the skin’s structural integrity. This overall leads to an overall improvement in skin quality and appearance.
Retinol is one of the most versatile vitamins which targets a whole series of issues. Capable of reducing appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, brown spots and hyper-pigmentation, this vitamin also stimulates collagen production and increases cell turnover. Unlike other typical skincare products where vitamin-A derivative is used, W Worry-Free uses active form of vitamin-A formulated in a fast-release serum format which can be readily absorbed and functioned. Vitamin A in W Worry-Free serum then can quickly bring about a more clarified, vibrant, younger-looking appearance.
One of the most-versatile, most-effective, and safest and gentlest active ingredients. It has virtually no side effects and therefore great for sensitive skin. Vit-B3 is known for its ability to protect skin from free radicals and prevent oxidative stress and increase skin-own antioxidant capacity. It helps strengthen skin barrier by boosting lipid production. Overall helps ‘seal’ skin moisture and therefore keep skin in a healthy state while fending off external aggressors such as environmental pollution. Vitamin B3 also helps prevent and treat hyper-pigmentation by slowing down the transportation of melanin to the skin's surface. Vitamin B3, a “fuel for your skin cells”, enhances the system that is important for creating healthy, well-balanced skin.
Found in a variety of food sources, Vitamin B5 is a water-soluble essential nutrient. Apply topically, vitamin B5 helps skin to attract and retain moisture, while providing protection and enhancing the natural repair process. This overall promotes soft, supple, comfortable skin. With its excellent moisture-holding property, Vitamin B5 helps reduce Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL; loss of water through the skin) and prevents skin from becoming dull and dry. Vitamin B5 also has anti-inflammatory effects, making it beneficial for those with irritated skin.
The ingredient is also highly valued in Hair beauty products. Because it is hygroscopic, when applied topically from hair product Vitamin B5 acts as a humectant and adheres strongly to the cuticle and penetrates deep into the cortex of the hair shaft providing deep hydration and preventing moisture loss. This helps to smooth the cuticle of each strand. With its excellent moisture-holding property, Vitamin B5 also helps conditioning the scalp by reducing Trans-Epidermal Water Loss and prevents scalp from becoming dry. Vitamin B5 also shows ability to improve the resistance of hair to mechanical stress and therefore helps reduce split ends.
An essential part of skin health, Vitamin C which is a brilliant antioxidant ingredient neutralizes free radicals and shields the skin from the visible impacts of pollution and evening out skin tone. Vitamin C also plays a critical role in collagen production, therefore overall helps skin fights against premature skin aging. Vitamin C also boosts moisture levels to improve hydration. In this holy grail serum, we use Ethyl Ascorbic Acid – the newest type of Vitamin C form which is much more stable than other types of Vitamin C found in other typical skin care products.
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that is essential for the maintenance of healthy skin. It is the most abundant lipophilic antioxidant naturally found in human skin. Powerful antioxidant properties make vitamin E effective in fighting off free radicals and reducing UV damage while softening the appearance of hyperpigmentation and wrinkles. UV light and sun exposure reduce vitamin E levels in skin. Vitamin E levels also decrease with age. Therefore we need to ‘top-up’ our vit-E level in our skin. Study showed that topical application of Vitamin E solutions with vitamin E concentrations as low as 0.1% can increase vitamin E levels in the skin making one of the most dose-efficient vitamins from topical application. Vitamin E is a nutrient our body needs to support the immune system and help the cells regenerate. It provides moisture and locks in water, resulting in plump and hydrated skin and therefore helps decrease the appearance of wrinkles, making it a great anti-aging ingredient option.
• Wheatgrass is a food made from the Triticum aestivum plant. It’s regarded as a super potent health food with amazing benefits.
• Wheatgrass is packed with a powerful combination of nutrients, and this makes it extremely useful to your health. It has many therapeutic benefits and is known as complete nourishment.
• Its extensive combination of vitamins and nutrients may make wheatgrass an exceptional choice to enhance your well-being. Wheatgrass has antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties.
• The nutrients in wheatgrass aid your body in getting rid of impurities and stored toxins.
Witch Hazel is an excellent natural toner that helps tighten pores. With its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, witch hazel is very effective at reducing redness, soothing irritations and inflammation, and eliminating blemishes. Witch Hazel contains tannins, a completely natural ingredient commonly found in our favorite fruits and drinks like pomegranates, berries, spices, tea, and coffee. Tannins is a type of polyphenol compound known for its antioxidant properties that are responsible for free-radical neutralization and therefore can help prevent free-radical damage to skin from UV [rays] and oxidizing air pollution. In higher concentrations, Witch Hazel has astringent properties that can help firm the skin and reduce excess oil without drying skin.

Anbesol to Treat Mosquito Bites
Like Orajel, Anbesol gel is a topical benzocaine medicament that blocks the nerve cells on and around the area where it is applied, thereby relieving minor pain, irritation, and itching. Although the medicated gel has traditionally been recommended for treating oral pain caused by mouth sores, ulcers, and toothaches, it boasts a variety of other uses. For instance, it is particularly effective in alleviating the itch and discomfort associated with mosquito bites and insect stings.
Since benzocaine, the active ingredient in Anbesol, quickly numbs the affected area to a large extent following application, relief of itching and irritation should be almost immediate.
To apply the medicated gel to an insect bite, simply squeeze a small amount onto your clean fingertip, cotton ball, or Q-Tip, and gently rub it into the skin to ensure even distribution.
Although Anbesol is an excellent remedy for mosquito bites and other skin conditions, it should be used carefully. Always follow the instructions on the package, and read through the warnings as well. Topical benzocaine can be harmful if ingested, applied to an open wound, or over large areas of the body. If a substantial amount of the product makes its way into the bloodstream, benzocaine overdose, a dangerous and potentially fatal condition, can occur. Symptoms of overdose include irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, seizures, and coma. If any of these symptoms present themselves after using a product containing benzocaine, consult a medical professional immediately. In order to avoid potential negative reactions, apply but a small amount of Anbesol at a time, and do not cover the area with a bandage. Never use on an open sore or wound.
Children under the age of two years old should not use Anbesol or any other topical benzocaine. It is also unclear as to whether or not this ingredient is harmful to a fetus or interferes with breast milk; hence, if you are pregnant or nursing, be sure to consult your doctor prior to using the medicated gel.
While it is true that Anbesol is indicated for oral use—that is, to treat a mouth sore or toothache—it should not be ingested. To prevent swallowing the medication, apply only a small amount of the gel onto the ulcer or tooth, and refrain from drinking or eating for at least one hour after the application.
Anbesol is an excellent numbing agent and works well for alleviating the annoying itch associated with mosquito bites. It is a good idea to have benzocaine topical gel in your medicine cabinet (out of the reach of children and pets, of course), especially during the summer months when mosquitoes are rampant. Since the ingredient has a variety of other uses as well, you will likely find it handy as a treatment for minor aches and pain. If you deem the brand name to be too expensive for your budget, try a generic version; it should be equally effective, provided it contains the same amount of the active ingredient benzocaine as Anbesol.

Why Delta 10 THC?
Delta 10 Origin
Delta 10 THC, which is a cannabinoid that contains high levels of THC, is one of the most well-known and studied cannabinoids. A group of cannabis farmers had just bought a cannabis farm and discovered it by accident.
They discovered a new compound in the cannabis they had grown after exposing it to a flame retardant. This compound was called delta 10 and is now produced using cleaner methods.
The psychoactive properties of Delta 10
Intoxicating properties of delta 10 THC are about 70% higher than those of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-9 THC), which it shares with delta 8 THC.
Delta8’s effects are usually associated with indica strains, but delta10 THC is more commonly known as the sativa cannabinoid. It offers a more upbeat sensation that would be particularly beneficial during the day.
Delta-10, just like delta-8, seems to provide a pleasant psychoactive buzz that helps the user retain clarity of thought.
Delta 10’s Other-psychoactive Properties
Delta-10 THC, a cannabinoid, is something we have only known about for a few years. This means that no research has been done to reveal its non-psychoactive qualities. Delta 10 THC is a cannabinoid. It does have an effect on the regulation of the endocannabinoid systems (ECS) throughout the body.
Purpose of Taking Delta 10
We don’t know enough about delta-10 THC to be able to fully understand its potential, so people use it for their psychoactive effects. Delta-10 can have an uplifting effect, so many people may prefer it over other cannabinoids.
Hexahydrocannabinol, a hydrogenated THC form, seems to almost match the properties and structure of delta 9 THC. Researchers discovered the cannabinoid in the pollen and seeds of the hemp plant. It was first discovered sometime between the 1960s and 1970s.
Is the HHC flower real?
HHC, a natural cannabinoid, is found in hemp plants. Although it has the same effects as THC there are some differences. HHC, a naturally-derived cannabis cannabinoid, is legal under the Farm Bill of 2018. All 50 States have legalized it.
Are HHC flowers strong?
HHC has a strength that is approximately 70-80% of THC. This means it is more potent than other hemp-derived cannabinoids Delta-8 or Delta-10.
HHC can produce a similar euphoric effect to THC, but moderate doses are reported to have more relaxing and sedative properties to Delta-8.
HHC’s Psychoactive Properties
It’s no surprise that hexa hydrocannabinol has a lot in common with delta 9 THC. The psychoactive properties of HHC seem to give a feeling of inner peace and euphoria. It is also more intoxicating than delta 10 THC.
HHC products can cause users to feel more sleepy than they do with delta 10 THC. Click here to learn more about the strongest HHC flower.
HHC’s Non–psychoactive Properties
Hexahydrocannabinol, like delta-10 THC, has only a small amount of research to support its unique effects. It is widely believed that the cannabinoid acts in the same way as delta 9 THC. Many believe it has the same non-psychoactive effects as delta 9, including those that affect mood, sleep, nausea and appetite.
Delta 9’s effects are especially widespread in the body because of its interest in CB1 receptors, which are cannabinoid-receptors in the nervous system, and CB2 receptors which are cannabinoid receivers in the digestive or immune systems.
Purpose of Taking HHC
Many people who choose HHC feel the need to have a cannabinoid similar to delta 9 THC, but that is federally legal. Delta 10 has a stronger high than delta 9. This is why HHC is so popular. Delta 9 is associated with valuable properties so many HHC users might be interested in other effects.
Delta 10 THC and HHC – Which Cannabinoid Will Elevate Your Hemp Hobby to the Next Level?
You can have truly satisfying hemp experiences with both delta-10 THC (THC) and hex hydrocannabinol HHC (HCH). It can be difficult to choose one of these two.
You can try each cannabinoid and decide which one is best for you. You may find that one of these cannabinoids is more compatible with your hemp-related goals. However, each can be worth exploring as they have their own merits.
ATLRx offers a wide range of premium-quality, high-quality, and highly effective delta 10 and HHC products. These products are available in a variety of strains and formulas that allow you to fully explore the potentials of each cannabinoid.
To provide the best hemp-based experience, all of their products have been lab tested and are formulated using clean, carefully sourced ingredients.

If you’ve ever walked into a health food store and asked for information about supplements…
If you’ve ever read any one of the many popular bodybuilding or fitness magazines…
If you’ve ever read the latest best-selling diet book…If you’ve ever watched late night TV and listened to a diet or fitness guru preach about an amazing new diet, exercise machine or supplement…If you’ve ever surfed the web for information about diet, nutrition or training…
If you’ve ever done ANY of these things, then chances are…
YOU’VE BEEN LIED TO, MY FRIEND!
Are you shocked? Surprised? Outraged? If so, then join the club – you’re not alone. Honest information about nutrition and fat loss is harder to come by than ever before, and nearly everyone has been mislead at one time or another.
To successfully navigate through this bog of misinformation, you’re going to have to become a very shrewd and discriminating consumer. The purpose of this article is to help you do just that.
There are three reasons why it’s so hard to find truthful information these days:
1) Money (Greed). Weight loss is a 30 billion-dollar a year industry. With this kind of money at stake, unscrupulous marketers will tell you anything – even outright lies – to get you to buy their products and to further their financial interests.
2) Information overload. Now that we’re in the information age, lack of information is not a problem anymore. The problem these days is too much information. Fitness and diet “guru’s” preach about their “latest breakthroughs” on TV infomercials 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Hundreds, even thousands of diet and exercise books fill bookstore shelves. Dozens of magazines clutter the newsstands every month. And to top it all off, the explosion of the Internet is adding to this “info-quagmire” at an exponential rate.
3) Conflicting advice. Even industry professionals such as registered dieticians, research scientists, MD’s, Phd’s, and certified trainers, give a tremendous amount of contradictory advice. There are a lot of opinions out there and everyone seems to tell us something different.
This has left a lot of people frustrated, disillusioned, and thoroughly confused. It’s hard to know whom or what to believe anymore.
I want to do something about that. I want to do something that almost no one else has the guts to do: That is, to tell the complete, unadulterated truth.
So, without further ado, here they are; the top 10 biggest fat loss lies – exposed!
Fat Loss Lie #1: You need supplements to lose fat.
Supplements are not necessary to lose body fat. Exercise and nutrition are the only things you need to lose fat permanently. Some supplements can help speed up the process a little, but not nearly as much as you may have been lead to believe.
Supplements are only responsible for a small fraction of the results you achieve. Based on 19 years of experience, I believe that 95-97% of your results will come from good training and good nutrition. If most of your results come from diet and training, doesn’t it make more sense to maximize the 95-97% first?
FOCUS ON YOUR DIET AND TRAINING PROGRAMS FIRST!
Believe it or not, advanced trainees, competitive bodybuilders or athletes will probably benefit more from using supplements than beginners. High level athletes are more likely to have “maxed” out their training and diet programs.
Once you’ve reached a high level of development from intelligent, intense, methodical training and quality nutrition, then progress always comes more slowly. At this point, every little bit extra counts – that’s when supplements are most useful.
In world class athletics, competitions can be won or lost by hundredths of a second, a tenth of a point, a fraction of a pound, or a single judge’s opinion. The extra 3-5% that supplements may provide could be the difference between winning and losing.
Now let’s look at the average beginner or intermediate who hasn’t perfected their diet and training yet: They’re still eating junk foods and skipping meals. They’re not even working out, or at least not consistently. And what do they do FIRST? You guessed it; they immediately run out searching for a “shortcut!”
It’s a shame that so many people are looking for easy ways instead of making the effort to learn how to eat and train better. Achievement expert Brian Tracy once said, “Superior people never wish it were easier, they wish they were better!”
It makes no sense to “dive” into supplements first in hopes of finding an easier way. Get your nutrition and training in order first; maximize the 95%. Once you reach that level, then by all means, take advantage of every legal and ethical edge possible to help you fulfill 100% of your potential.
If anyone tries to convince you that you can’t do it without supplements, beware; they are probably just trying to sell you something.
Fat Loss Lie #2: The only way to get really lean is to “starve” yourself.
Most commercial diet programs are very low in calories. Many border on starvation: 1200 calories, 1000 calories, even 800 calories or less!
BE WARNED! Starving the fat off doesn’t work (at least not permanently).
In fact, very low calorie diets can actually make you fatter!
It’s is the ultimate paradox:
When you eat less, your body burns less. When you eat more, your body burns more.
Very low calorie diets slow down your metabolism and cause you to lose muscle. Eventually they shut down your metabolism completely. When this happens, the weight loss stops and any increase in calories that follows will cause immediate fat gain. This rebound effect is inevitable, because no one can stay on low calories forever.
Carefully scrutinize the calorie recommendations of any diet program before you start it. You’ll probably discover that 95% of them have you slash your calories to starvation levels. That’s why they work in the beginning – because you are starving. But they never work for long.
Your body is smart. As soon as you are in danger of starving, your body will quickly adjust your metabolic rate downward like a thermostat, so you burn fewer calories.
The only way to lose fat and keep it off permanently is to reduce your calories slightly and increase your activity greatly.
The Moral: It is better to burn the fat than to starve the fat.
Fat Loss Lie #3: You can believe everything you read in the magazines.
Most magazine publishers own supplement companies and use their magazines as a means for promoting their products. Certain well-known magazines have been doing this for decades. One day, it dawned on the rest of them that more money could be made selling supplements than selling advertising or subscriptions. Soon, everyone jumped on the bandwagon and started supplement companies.
You see, magazines have credibility. After all, they can’t print a lie right there on paper, can they? Editorials are much more believable than advertising. Most people will believe anything that is printed in a “reputable” medium. That’s why magazines are the perfect vehicles for promoting supplements.
Did you ever notice how many magazine articles are about the latest “breakthrough” in supplements? These “articles” aren’t really articles at all; they are nothing more than advertisements in disguise! (with an 800 number for easy ordering at the end!)
Even if a magazine doesn’t have a vested interest in a line of supplements, you still can’t count on them to reveal the whole truth to you because they don’t want to offend the deep-pocketed companies that are spending big money to advertise.
A full-page ad in a high circulation national magazine can cost tens of thousands of dollars. With this kind of money at stake, do you think any magazine will print an article saying supplements don’t work and on the very next page run an ad for the same supplements they are knocking? Not very likely is it?
This is the same reason you often get better investing advice from the smaller, lesser-known financial newsletters than you do from the major financial magazines and newspapers; because the major publishers don’t want to write editorials that will upset the advertisers.
The bottom line? Don’t believe everything you read. Question everything. Use your head. Use common sense and your own good judgement. Beware of hidden motives. Just because it’s right there in black and white doesn’t mean it’s true.
Fat Loss Lie #4: Meal replacement products and diet shakes help you “burn” fat.
Supplement companies would like you to believe that meal replacement products (MRP’s) have some sort of “magical” fat reducing properties. The truth is that MRP’s are nothing more than “powdered food” (or “liquid food”).
Listen: The primary benefit of MRP’s is convenience.
It’s difficult to eat frequently, so MRP’s are great when you’re in a hurry and you don’t have time to eat whole foods, but they are not better than food, no matter what any supplement “guru” says.
Owners of supplement companies will say that MRP’s are the greatest thing since sliced bread or electricity. That shouldn’t come as any surprise; sales of these products run in the tens of millions of dollars each year.
Whenever you have a choice, and whenever time permits, you should always choose whole foods over MRP’s.
Eating real food is better than drinking meal replacement products (MRP’s). The human gastrointestinal system has evolved to efficiently digest whole food, not powders or pills. The process of digesting solid food every three hours actually increases your metabolic rate. This is known as the “thermic effect of food.” Powders fail to take advantage of this metabolic boost.
John Parillo is a trainer, nutritionist and author of several excellent books on bodybuilding. Even though Parillo sells his own line of supplements (and he does push them quite heavily at times), listen to what he wrote about MRP’s:
“Food is the cornerstone of nutrition. If you do not eat the proper foods – lean proteins, starchy carbohydrates, and fibrous carbohydrates – nothing else matters. No supplement can ever provide you with all the benefits that food supplies. We were built to process foods – proteins, carbohydrates and fats – not powdered or liquid supplements alone. If you want to make the best possible progress with your physique, I suggest that you forget the hype surrounding all supplement diets or meal replacement programs and get back to basics. And that means food.”
I suggest you heed Mr. Parillo’s advice.
Fat Loss Lie #5: Thermogenic “fat burners” that contain ephedrine and caffeine are the “end all – be all” of weight loss products.
Xenadrine, Hydroxycut, Metabolife, Thermadrol, Diet Fuel, Stacker and Ripped Fuel. Ever heard of any of these? If not, you must have been living in a cave somewhere for the past few years because “thermogenic” fat burning pills have become the hottest weight loss craze in the history of the industry.
Millions of dollars are spent on these products every year and there’s no end in sight to this fat burning pill feeding frenzy. But are these products all they’re made out to be? Let me set the record straight once and for all.
Open up any bodybuilding or fitness magazine these days and you’ll see multi-page advertisements boasting of amazing results, with dramatic photos of physiques allegedly transformed by using these products.
One headline says “Proven to increase fat loss 1700%.” Another says “Burn up to 613% more fat!” Still another says, “34 times more fat lost than control group.”
Frankly, the hype surrounding these products is starting to get out of hand.
Where did these numbers come from?
1700% or 613% or 34 times greater THAN WHAT?
It’s all too easy for supplement companies to cleverly take statistics out of context – just one of many sneaky tricks they have up their advertising sleeves. (Sounds to me like they’ve been studying the infamous book, “How to Lie With Statistics.”)
If any supplement really did burn 1700% more body fat, there wouldn’t be any fat people left! But there are: There are more overweight people in the United States than ever before!
Don’t believe the hype! Thermogenic fat burners help you perhaps 3-5%. These products work, but they don’t work miracles.
Most of your results will come from hard training and a good diet. There are no magic bullets. Why is it that people just don’t seem to get this? It’s human nature, I suppose. We all want instant gratification, so it’s awfully easy to be swayed by the glossy four page magazine spreads with those mind blowing (doctored?) before and after photos.
Supplement companies are very shrewd marketers. Testimonials, endorsements, scientific studies and before and after photos are incredibly persuasive. Even the names of the products were carefully chosen: Do you think it’s a coincidence that the herbal supplement “Xenadrine” sounds a lot like the prescription drug Xenical? Not a week goes by that someone doesn’t e-mail me asking me about the “DRUG” Xenadrine.
My friend, listen carefully: If you want to lose body fat, get your diet and training program in order FIRST. Once you’re eating nutritiously, restricting your caloric intake, doing cardio and working out with weights, then and only then – and only if you have a clean bill of health – should you try a thermogenic herbal product if you need an extra boost.
I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again, there are no shortcuts. The “secret” to permanently losing body fat is not supplements or drugs, it is the combination of good nutrition and a solid training program.
Fat Loss Lie #6: Losing fat can be accomplished quickly and easily.
Losing fat is simple, but for most people it is NOT easy. There’s a big difference between simple and easy:
“Simple” means there is nothing complicated about the process – it’s like an algebra formula; just plug in the numbers where the X’s and Y’s are and the formula always produces the correct result.
“Easy” implies that something can be done with little or no effort. Anyone who tells you they’ve discovered an “easy” way to lose fat is lying.
Getting a lean and muscular body requires two things:
1) You must be willing to work hard
2) You must be patient
The problem with many people is that they shy away from anything that appears to be hard work. They are always looking for short cuts. As soon as they see something that promises results “quickly,” “easily,” “effortlessly,” “while they sleep,” “without exercise,” and so on, they whip out their wallets and fall for it hook, line and sinker.
Shortcuts always fail! Take a shortcut and you’re bound to get lost – or smack into a brick wall!
Everything worth having in life has a price attached to it – EVERYTHING! If you want to have a lean and muscular body, you must be willing to pay the price for a lean and muscular body. STOP looking for easy ways. Just pay the price and it’s yours.
It’s an absolutely unbreakable law of the universe: You can’t get something for nothing. Your results will come in direct proportion to the amount of effort you put in. You can only reap what you sow.
Make no mistake; people who have great bodies, especially bodybuilders and fitness models, have worked very hard for a very long time to get where they are. The best natural bodybuilders in the world (Skip Lacour, for example) are in their mid to late 30’s and they have been training for 10 to 15 years.
You wouldn’t expect to step out on a golf course for the very first time and hit the ball like Tiger Woods would you? Of course not! In fact, you’d probably have a hard time keeping the ball on the course. Then how could you possibly expect to start a nutrition program or walk into the gym for the first time and get results overnight? You can’t…
Mastery of anything takes time and effort.
Fat Loss Lie #7: Some people will never be able to lose weight and they should just give up and accept their genetics for what they are.
It’s true; your heredity will, to a large degree, dictate your athletic ability and the ease with which you will be able to lose fat or gain muscle. However, it’s a lie to say that some people can’t lose weight because they’ve inherited a “slow metabolism.”
Let’s be honest; not everyone is going to become an Olympic Gold medallist or a Mr. Universe or a Ms Fitness America. However, you should never just “accept your genetics” and give up. Everybody can lose fat. It just takes a little longer for some than for others.
Some people have inherited a metabolism and body type that tends to favor fat storage. These people are called “endomorphs.” Endomorphs may have a slower metabolism, they are often carbohydrate sensitive, they gain fat quickly when they eat poorly, they gain fat quickly if they don’t exercise, and they may hold onto stored fat, even on a clean, low fat diet.
Weight loss is easier for some than for others and that doesn’t seem fair. But that’s the way life is. Life isn’t fair. This simply means you’re going to have to adjust your diet and training to fit your body type and metabolism.
You may have to work harder than other people. You may have to be more persistent than other people. You might need a stricter diet than other people. You might need to train harder than other people. You might have less margin for error (fewer cheat days).
The only question is: Are you willing to do what it takes for you?
I write and speak about the role of genetics in fitness a lot and the reason is because I’m sick and tired of hearing people using their “bad genetics” as an excuse for why they can’t get in shape. As Richard Bach wrote, “Argue for your limitations and sure enough, they’re yours.”
It’s amazing what a human being can achieve when they have a crystal clear goal and they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve that goal. Genetic limitations seem to evaporate.
Marla Runyan is a world champion middle distance runner. At the 2000 Olympic trials in Sacramento, Runyan captured third in the 1500 meters, finishing in 4:06.44; a time good enough to gain her a berth on the 2000 US Olympic team.
At the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Merah-Benida of Algeria won the 1500 meters in 4 minutes, 05.10 seconds. Violeta Szekely of Romania won the silver and Gabriela Szabo of Romania won the bronze. Runyan was eighth crossing the finish line in 4:08.30.
Disappointing? Not when you consider that Runyan has been legally blind since her 9th birthday. Marla suffers from a genetically inherited disease of the retina, called Stargardt’s. She is considered legally blind because her condition cannot be corrected. Her vision is limited to the peripheral – she can only see shapes in front of her, and can’t even make out the face of her coach ten feet away. Despite this so-called handicap, Marla Runyan is the eighth best runner in the world in the 1500 meters.
The first U.S. paralympian to reach the Olympics, Runyan says she doesn’t even look at her lack of sight as an obstacle; “I think my vision is just a circumstance that happened and I don’t look at it as a barrier. I never said I want to be the first legally blind runner to make the Olympics. I just wanted to be an Olympian.”
“I have been legally blind for 20 years. I am very used to my eyes and how the world appears to me. In fact, I am so used to it that I often forget I see things differently from everyone else. The track looks the same to me as it did 15 years ago. Therefore, I do not consider my vision impairment a “handicap” when it comes to running. It is not a factor or an excuse for a bad race.”
And then there’s Carl Joseph. Carl Joseph was captain of his football team. He could dunk a basketball. He high jumped 5 feet 10 inches. He threw shot and discus. He was also born with only one leg.
Like Runyan, the difference between Carl and others with genetically inherited disabilities is nothing more than his attitude. Carl Joseph didn’t make excuses:
“A lot of people go through life wishing they could change this or that. God gave me one leg, and I’m just as happy and thankful to be healthy and to have done as much as I have. Ever since I was a kid I could do anything I wanted to. One leg or two, it didn’t make any difference to me. It’s all in the mind. My mind always told me I could do things, so I just went out and did them.”
When I first wrote about these two athletes as an example of what a genetically disadvantaged person can achieve, I received an e-mail from an angry reader. He wrote; “Those are terrible examples. – Will a positive attitude restore Marla’s sight? Will positive thinking re-grow Carl’s leg? Etc., etc…”
I feel sorry for this fellow because he entirely missed the point, and because of his own “vision problem” he has limited his own development. The answer to his questions of course, are no; The chances of any amount of positive mental attitude growing back a leg or restoring one’s sight are mighty slim. But that doesn’t matter; the difference between people like Marla and Carl and the man who wrote to me is that Marla and Carl didn’t use their disability as an excuse for not even trying.
Marla and Carl did the best they could with whatever they had. It was much harder for them; and even with all the effort, they still couldn’t reach the level of those without such disabilities. But being better than others was not the goal. What they did was to become the best they could be. So you don’t get a gold medal; is 8th best in the world so bad?
Fat loss lie #8: Zero carbohydrate or very low carbohydrate diets are the best way to lose body fat permanently.
No diet issue has created more confusion and controversy than the low carbohydrate vs. high carbohydrate debate.
Contrary to what certain diet “guru’s” tell you, carbohydrates are not fattening.
It is a flat out LIE to say “carbohydrates are fattening.” What’s fattening is eating more calories than your body can utilize at one time.
However, it’s true that some people lose weight more quickly on a low carbohydrate diet (that’s not the same thing as saying carbohydrates are fattening.) It’s also true that almost every bodybuilder or fitness competitor uses some variation of the low carb diet to prepare for competitions.
But very low carb diets are not the ultimate answer to permanent weight loss. At worst they are unhealthy. At best they are a temporary tool that should only be used for short periods to achieve specific fat loss goals (preparing for bodybuilding competition, for example).
Even for people who respond well to less carbs and more protein, there are many drawbacks:
1) Very low carb diets are difficult to stick to. If you remove carbohydrates from your diet for a long period of time, you are setting yourself up for cravings and bingeing. The more you cut back the carbs, bigger the rebound will be when you put carbs back in. That’s why 95% of people gain back all the weight they lose on a very low carb diet.
2) Very low carb diets are unbalanced and missing many nutrients. It’s never healthy to remove entire food groups from your diet for a prolonged period of time. A healthy diet is one that has balance between protein, carbs and fats and includes a wide variety of foods, not an overemphasis on one food or food group.
3) Very low carb diets may be unhealthy. Many low carb diets like the anabolic diet or the Atkins diet, suggest eating large amounts of saturated fat. (no pancakes allowed, but bacon, sausage and whole eggs for breakfast are just fine). In the absence of carbohydrates you can eat fat with protein and still lose weight, but it’s never smart to eat large amounts of saturated fat. If heart disease or health problems run in your family, you’re asking for serious trouble.
4) Very low carb diets cause your energy levels to plummet. Not only will you feel tired and irritable without carbs, but it will also affect your training: Low carbs = low energy. Low energy = poor workouts. Poor workouts = poor results.
5) The weight loss on a very low carb diet can be deceiving. You will definitely lose weight if you don’t eat carbs, but much of the weight will be muscle and water. Suppose you lose 5 lbs in one week on a low carb diet: That sounds impressive, but if one pound is fat, two pounds are water and two pounds are muscle, what good is that? Your goal should never be weight loss. Your goal should be to lose 1-2 pounds of fat per week while maintaining your lean body mass.
Most people will lose fat simply by adding a regular exercise routine to their schedule and by “cleaning up” their diets. By “cleaning up” your diet, I mean that you have mastered all the nutritional basics like eating small frequent meals, controlling portion sizes, cutting down on saturated fats, avoiding sugar and junk foods, etc.
What I’m saying is that a low carb diet should be considered a “last resort.” If you’ve already tried the conventional approach to dieting (which works for most people) then you might want to consider low carb diets as an alternative.
The conventional fat reducing diet looks something like this:
If you choose the low carb approach to dieting, the best method is to decrease your carbohydrates moderately. Never cut your carbs out completely! It’s not necessary, it’s not healthy, it’s hard to stick to and it’s no fun! It’s usually not wise to go to extremes in anything and this is as true for nutrition as with anything else in life: moderation is the key.
The “modified” low carb diet might look something like this:
Competitive bodybuilders might decrease the carbohydrates to 25-30% of total daily calories, but only for short periods right before competitions. They may also zig-zag their carbohydrate intake so that they don’t stay on low carbs all the time. Every few days or so, they have a high carb day.
My advice to you is forget about those diets that suggest you must go into ketosis or require you to limit your carbs to miniscule amounts, such as the common recommendation of 30 – 40 grams a day. Carb cutting, when taken to the extreme, will do more harm than good.
Fat Loss Lie #9: If you eat the right diet, you can lose fat permanently without exercise.
A full-page ad in a recent issue of the National Enquirer featured this headline:
“Lose up to 2 pounds daily… Without Exercise.”Yeah right! And you’ll make a million dollars a day too…without working! That’s a whopper of a lie if I’ve ever heard one.
Trying to lose fat without exercising is like trying to sit on a chair without four legs. If one leg is missing, your chair is going to fall over. An effective fat burning program must have four crucial components:
1. Aerobic exercise
2. A nutritious diet with a mild calorie deficit
3. Weight training
4. Goal setting and motivation
It is extremely difficult (if not impossible) to lose fat permanently without exercise. If anyone ever tries to sell you a program for losing fat without exercise, hold on to your wallet and run for cover.
Even if it was possible to get lean without exercise, you should be working out for your health anyway, not just for cosmetic reasons.
Fat Loss Lie #10: You can lose 30 pounds of fat in 30 days.
*****AMAZING MELT AWAY FAT ABSORBER CAPSULES*****
LOSE 30 POUNDS IN 30 DAYS… GUARANTEED!!!
******LOSE 10 POUNDS THIS WEEKEND!!!*******
You see ads like these all the time, and they sure are enticing, aren’t they? But is it really possible? Can you really lose weight that quickly?
The answer is YES. It’s quite possible to lose 30 pounds in 30 days or 10 pounds over the weekend.But that’s the wrong question; the question YOU should ask is how can I lose 30 pounds of FAT healthfully and permanently?
Don’t confuse WEIGHT loss with FAT loss!
Your body is 70% water, so it’s easy to lose weight quickly. Any diet that dehydrates you will create quick, dramatic weight loss. Wanna lose 10 pounds over the weekend? THAT’S EASY! Just stop drinking water! Of course that would be pretty stupid and pretty dangerous too, but that’s exactly what you’re doing when you lose weight that fast – you’re simply dehydrating yourself. (or even worse – you’re losing muscle too!)
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), the largest and most respected health, medical and exercise organization in the world, has established guidelines for healthy weight loss. In their position statement on “Proper and improper weight loss programs” they recommend losing weight at a rate of no more than two pounds per week.
This two pounds per week guideline has become recognized as the standard rate for safe weight loss. Time after time I see people get impatient and they attempt to violate this rule, only to lose muscle, slow their metabolisms and eventually gain all the fat back…and then some! Weight loss is not something to be rushed – this is not a race.
You can lose 30 pounds of weight in 30 days, but you’ll NEVER lose 30 pounds of fat in 30 days.
There are virtually no limits to what you can achieve in the long run. You can reach any fat loss or fitness goals you are truly committed to. But there are limits to how quickly you can safely achieve them.
Thoreau said, “In the long run, you hit only what you aim at, so aim high.” Don’t be afraid to set big, audacious goals, but always set realistic time frames for achieving them. If you lose one to two pounds of fat per week consistently, you’re doing GREAT!
Well, that’s it – those are the 10 biggest fat loss lies. I hope you’ve found this information to be illuminating.

Why NatureBox Partner Market?
A blog post from the CEO of NatureBox, John O.
The snacking community has long craved variety in snacks and drinks that are both good for them and taste delicious. And to have one trustworthy place to go for all that? That would be a bonus.
It’s time to listen.
Our Partner Market provides a new line-up of snacks and beverages that will live on NatureBox.com. Our goal is to make shopping for different healthy snacks and drinks as simple as our ingredients. Keeping to our food philosophy, our Partner Market will continue to make snacking a more mindful experience. One where consumers don’t have to think about the label.
Innovating in our industry: From “better-for-you” snacking to adaptogenic wellness snacks
NatureBox started over 10 years ago by innovating in the category of “better-for-you” snacking. Over the years, the NatureBox brand has expanded from better-for-you snacks to wellness snacks with functional benefits. Our new mission: Transform snacking from an unconscious, unhealthy behavior to one where the ingredients help you reduce stress in your body.
We know what goes into our snack products because we have carefully handcrafted over 1,000 different snacks ourselves. We develop and produce our own food. What did we learn? It’s not easy to make healthy snacks taste great without adding a bunch of junk.
There are too many short-cuts and artificial ingredients meant to help extend shelf life or give a treat with lower calories a better taste. We see our competitors get longevity and shelf-life by adding unnecessary or unintentional ingredients that aren’t good for people or the environment. At NatureBox, we care about what goes into our products and strive to make snacking a mindful experience for everyone who enjoys them.
Caring for our customers: Craving variety, wellness, and mindfulness
We’re passionate about our customers. Especially our corporate customers who love and trust our current products but want to experience more variety in their wellness snacks. Well, we listened. Now, we offer a marketplace of curated products from like-minded companies that provides an assortment of delicious and healthy options without the overwhelm.
The manufacturing of food has changed and many brands have come out of the woodwork since we started NatureBox 10+ years ago. Now, there are a plethora of amazing brands that align with our food philosophy and meet our critical standards that we’re excited to partner with and put in front of our customers.
But we don’t just sell anything to anyone. What’s so unique about our process is two things:
- After sifting through ingredients for hundreds and hundreds of products while continuing to produce delicious snacks over the last year, we’ve honed our craft to focus on functional and adaptogenic snacks.
- We’re using our know-how in food development to thoroughly vet brands and curate the best of the best to include in the NatureBox Partner Market for our corporate and consumer clients.
Highly curated and selective: Eliminate stress and overwhelm
Have you ever heard of “bromate flour?” Likely not. Artificial ingredients like this one and others you may not know about are present in many commercial products. However, with knowledge from years in the industry, we know you don’t want them on your ingredient list.
Partner Market. It helps us thoroughly vet the third-party brands before they make it into the hands of our customers. Our curation process is detail-oriented and selective so you never have to question the quality of the snacks and drinks you’re shopping for. Our mission is to be more mindful about reducing stress, not increasing it.
You may have heard of the term “The Paradox of Choice,” which Barry Schwartz coined in 2004. The essence is when we’re presented with too many choices, we tend to become stressed out. Unlike other snacking companies that overload consumers with an endless scroll of products bought through distributors, NatureBox Partner Market provides consumers more variety without the overwhelm through our expert curation of healthy and delicious products. It prevents the paradox of choice.
Partner Market gives us the flexibility to hone in on our functional snack offerings, stay true to our food philosophy, and continue to offer tremendous value to our customers with a variety of delicious, curated wellness snacks you can trust. Check it out today at naturebox.com/partner-market
