Appetite Suppressant - AS5.75

[Shannon]

Hi Shannon,

Thanks for the tips! I will try this. I thought, though, that the critique of american weight perception was that we all want to be 'Barbie and Ken' and tend to think that we should be lighter than we are to the point of obsessing over dieting. So perhaps your program is suggesting to my wife that she should be even lighter than she idealizes... interesting thought. According to 'Medical News Today' her ideal weight for her height is anywhere from 110lbs to 140lbs. She thinks of her ideal weight as 130-135. Perhaps I should suggest that maybe her ideal might be lower to soften her expectations.

Over time, the majority of Americans have become overweight and or obese.  There are those who are not, but that tends to be the few with extremely high metabolisms and those who see what's happening to everyone else and are actively working against it.

I'm not speaking to the validity of the "Barbie and Ken" physique, in either direction.  But it is very telling that we as a society only started having issues with this as an acceptable aspiration when the majority were overweight and or obese!

The rest of the world seems to be trying to get fat by adopting our McDonalds and Donuts society.  I wish they would just shut down McDonald's and the like worldwide and let us keep our ridiculous eating habits, but that's a rant for another day.

The majority of Americans look at Barbie and Ken and think it's unrealistic at best, or impossible at worst, because they are overweight and believe overweight is normal because our society caters to whomever has money.  Flattery will get you rich, apparently.

This is why (some) Americans want to lose weight.  There's a very high probability that if you pick one out of a crowd at random, they really are overweight!  Unfortunately, big business has confused those people into endless useless dieting and doing things that won't result in their goal of weight loss.  Going to the gym, I saw two groups of people.  Group A was fit, and they made that their lifestyle.  Group B was "trying to lose weight", was almost never fit, and 9 times out of 10, were prone to work out for 30 to 120 minutes, and then go have fast food.  Dieting, as we Americans have come to understand it through the corporate orgy of weight loss products, means doing bizarre stuff that we really don't want to do, that may affect our weight slightly in the short run, but won't be sustainable.  

When you do it right, there's a big difference between American style "dieting" and having a healthy diet.  It's a habitual, automatic lifestyle choice when it's done right.  You can eat whatever you want, as long as you eat it in the right amounts per portion and eat it in with the right timing.  Chocolate cake is seen by American "dieters" as the Holy Grail.  They dream of it.  They crave it.  Then they give in and "cheat", and "start dieting again" immediately after.  This happens because they think they need to deny themselves.  Not true; they do need to control themselves, though.  About 1/2 to 1/3rd the normal "American sized" serving of chocolate cake, and eaten occasionally, but not frequently, will do it.  You never crave what is plentifully available and which you are enjoying.  But the belief here is, I must suffer to lose weight.  I must deny myself.  I must not have what I want.  I must only eat what I don't like.  That doesn't work - unless you want to gain weight.

Appetite Suppressant 5.75G simply re-shapes your natural appetite to allow you to eat whatever you want, whenever you want, but only eat amounts that result in your ideal weight regardless.  No denial means no craving means no binging, and that means much easier achievement of the goal weight.  The weight falls off, you never "tried" to do anything and you're enjoying what you eat.  Win-win-win.

One thing you should point out to her is that her ideal weight might not be what she consciously assumes it is.  Let go of expectations of what it is, and allow the program to do its thing.  

I do lift weights, and that is in order to build/maintain muscle as I get into my later years where muscle mass is a key indicator for longevity and quality of life. Is this what you mean by 'lift weights'? I'm certainly not an athlete, but I do lift weights (and fairly heavy for a non-athlete e.g. bench press with dumbells of 75lbs each). I don't want to lose muscle mass/strength.

If you are an athelete or a body builder, your goal is going to be a lot more muscle and less fat, leading to a very different "ideal weight".  For those people, weight alone is not enough metrics.  They also need to consider things like muscle mass and fat percentage.  So Appetite Suppressant is not designed for them right now.  

If you lift weights to maintain a healthy muscle mass, but you're not body building, or trying to follow the body cycle of cutting and then gaining, you don't need to worry about the weight the program will bring you to.  The optimal weight for males 16+ who are not body builders and atheletes takes into account their natural need for more muscle mass than a woman needs to be optimally healthy.

I will start her today on the louder setting and watch more closely ramp up and plateau, etc. I assume the execution period means she actually would drop weight at that time, correct?

Thanks again!

You may not see her drop weight right away.  What you should observe is either a stronger resistance response (hopefully not) or a stronger adherence to the goals of the program.

What happens during the days off is pure execution, so it should be most pronounced around days 1-2-3 of the rest cycle.  When it starts fading out, start her back on it.

The goal of the program is to result in weight loss that is at the optimal speed for achieving it easily, and maintaining it easily.  Losing too much too fast causes a yoyo effect, and people end up heavier than they started.  We want to see a weight loss of 2-3 pounds a week, ideally.  Once the program is working fully, that will become a normal regular occurrence until you achieve your ideal weight, at which time you will naturally enter maintenance mode by simple virtue of the fact that you've been eating the exact right amount for maintaining that level of weight the whole time, which is why you lost weight in the first place.
