Getting off the addiction of aspartame Will help in stopping your weight
gain. But probably won't help in losing the extra pounds that it caused
you to gain. The HCG Diet can and will get rid of those extra pounds
quickly and reverse the damage. The HCG diet is the fastest way
of shedding pounds. There is no other diet plan available that can
help you to lose that fat quickly, healthy and saftley.

In the interests of public health I am making a position statement
concerning the use of the artificial sweetener called aspartame and
sold most commonly under the names of NutraSweet and Equal. One must
ask, "why do millions of people ingest a toxic chemical like aspartame
everyday"? To me it appears ridiculous and I believe that it is
because people have been brainwashed into thinking aspartame will keep
their weight down and is good for health. It also shows me that we
have lost touch with our own natural senses and instincts.
After having been consulted by thousands of overweight people
suffering with problems concerning the liver and/or metabolism I can
assure you that aspartame will not help you in any way, indeed it will
help you to gain unwanted weight. This has been my experience, and
there are logical reasons to explain the fattening and bloating
effects of aspartame. When you ingest the toxic chemical aspartame it
is absorbed from the intestines and passes immediately to the LIVER
where it is taken inside the liver via the liver filter.
The liver then breaks down or metabolizes aspartame to its toxic
components – phenylalanine, aspartic acid and methanol. This process
requires a lot of energy from the liver which means there will be less
energy remaining in the liver cells. This means the liver cells will
have less energy for fat burning and metabolism, which will result in
fat storing. Excess fat may build up inside the liver cells causing
"fatty liver" and when this starts to occur it is extremely difficult
to lose weight. In my vast experience any time that you overload the
liver you will increase the tendency to gain weight easily.
Aspartame also causes weight gain by other mechanisms —Causes
unstable blood sugar levels, which increases the appetite and causes
cravings for sweets/sugar. Thus it is particularly toxic for those
with diabetes or epilepsy. Causes fluid retention giving the body a
puffy and bloated appearance. This makes people look fatter than they
are and increases cellulite.
I have been a medical doctor for over 25 years and have clinical and
research interests in the liver and metabolism. I have authored
several best selling health books including the "Liver Cleansing
Diet", "The Body Shaping Diet", "Don't Let Your Hormones Ruin Your
Life", "Women's Health", "Menopause and Natural Hormone Replacement
Therapy" and I lecture internationally on these subjects. I have been
consulted by thousands of patients with weight problems, hormonal
imbalances, fatty liver, sluggish metabolism and chronic ill health. I
have been an advocate and practitioner of nutritional methods of
healing for 30 years. I regularly appear on national television and
broadcast on many radio stations to educate people about the
importance of a healthy liver in achieving good health and weight
control!
