End your food cravings for permanent weight loss.


Jan is a good friend who struggles with her weight. Her problem is that she overeats.

Recently, Jan and I went out to dinner. We were both very hungry, and we each ordered a lot of food. I took half of mine home; Jan ate all of hers. This has happened before. Near the end of the meal, Jan often says she's still hungry. Physiologically, it takes 15 minutes for a message to get from her stomach to her brain saying, "I'm no longer hungry," but Jan isn't satisfied even after 30 minutes.

Why? Most likely she has an impaired communication between her stomach and brain and her brain simply isn't getting the message that she's full. If this sounds like you, I have good news. I've found a solution that re-establishes this communication and eliminates food cravings A food craving is an intense desire to consume a particular food, as opposed to food in general. Food cravings are especially common in people following structured diet plans, and often interfere with the best of intentions to adhere to a particular style of eating. !

Whether you're obese or 10 to 20 pounds overweight, you know what a struggle it is to try to control your cravings. You may succeed for a few days, but then you just can't stop yourself. This is not a matter of will power. It's a physiological problem.

, and are sick and tired of feeling guilty, I have ground-breaking information about a formula that eliminates food cravings by repairing the communication between your stomach and your brain. In a recent study, 90 percent of the participants using it had a 60-90 percent reduction in their cravings. It didn't matter what foods they craved crave

1. To have an intense desire for. See Synonyms at desire.

2. To need urgently; require.

3. To beg earnestly for; implore.

What causes food cravings?

Here's what we think happens. When we're hungry, our stomach produces hunger hormones that travel to the brain and cause cravings so we'll eat. In normal people, food signals the stomach to stop making these hormones and we feel satisfied.

But some people have an inflammation and hypersensitivity hypersensitivity, heightened response in a body tissue to an antigen or foreign substance. The body normally responds to an antigen by producing specific antibodies against it. The antibodies impart immunity for any later exposure to that antigen.  in their stomach lining that interrupts this communication and causes too many hunger hormones to be made. They don't feel satisfied even after eating. While someone with a normal stomach lining can stop after eating a few cups of food, people with this condition can't. Their stomach keeps producing food-craving hormones.

The answer is not to try to eat differently or diet, but to repair the stomach lining, restore communication, and stop this cascade of hunger hormones to the brain. In my search to bring you new and exciting information, I came across a nutrient drink called The Craving craving Psychology A strong desire to consume a particular substance–eg of abuse, or food; craving is a major factor in relapse and/or continued use after withdrawal from a substance of abuse and is both imprecisely defined and difficult to measure.  Factor that does just this.

The Craving Factor has three primary actions. It stops the cravings by adjusting a dysfunctional satiety satiety

One aspect of this product that I particularly like is that it works quickly--usually between a day and a week. While it may take months to fully repair your stomach lining and permanently stop your cravings, you should notice a reduction in hunger and cravings within days. I don't want to mislead mis·lead

 method of repairing your stomach, controlling your urges, and changing your eating habits. You'll lose weight slowly and consistently as long as you use your lack of cravings to eat differently. But your cravings should lessen within a week.

The Craving Factor is rather expensive--$57/month--but you don't take it forever, Once your stomach lining is repaired, you shouldn't need to continue using it. In general, I find it takes from three to six months for the body to repair itself, but you should lose weight effortlessly the first week. When I compared the cost of six months of this drink with other programs that may need to continue indefinitely--or pharmaceuticals--it's more reasonable. What's most important to me is that it goes to the core of the problem of overeating overeating

How to use it

This product is a powder you add to water--not juice, tea, coffee, or soft drinks that could alter your pH negatively. You must drink it every single time you feel a craving. You also need to drink it 15 minutes before meals and while you're eating. If you don't use it properly, it won't work. If you do, it should. You can eat whatever you want, but you won't want much of what you've been craving.

Jan now carries a bottle of this mixture with her wherever she goes. She's losing weight slowly and consistently, and recently realized that she's eating fewer starches than before. She just doesn't want them.

Of course, you can always override its effect. You won't lose weight if you continue to eat even after you feel satisfied. But if you eat less because you feel satisfied, you will.

I read the results of several studies and personally spoke with two people who have used this product for more than two months. Cindy, an orthopedic nurse, lost 10 pounds in three weeks and is impressed that her weight is staying off. She was once a chocoholic choc·o·hol·ic

 and now she's eating healthier (not craving chocolate) and her menopausal migraines are gone.

Michael lost 26 pounds. He's shocked. He used to eat huge quantities of anything and everything day and night. In fact, his wife would wake him up from sleep-eating! Michael was totally out of control and desperate when he talked with Dr. Paul Tai, the medical doctor who developed The Craving Factor. When I asked Michael how long it took for his cravings to disappear he said, "Immediately. I used to eat seven to eight pieces of pizza; now I eat two or three." Like Jan, Michael carries a bottle of water containing the formula with him and sips on it throughout the day whenever he feels any craving. On average, the participants of the three studies lost from seven to 13 pounds the first month.

When I first spoke with Dr. Tai and told him that I wanted my readers to get cutting-edge information on new therapies before other publications, he said, "I'll take it one step further. I'll get this product to some of your highly-motivated overweight readers for next to nothing."

So a limited number of you will be accepted into a small observational study In statistics, the goal of an observational study is to draw inferences about the possible effect of a treatment on subjects, where the assignment of subjects into a treated group versus a control group is outside the control of the investigator. . If you're overweight and have out-of-control cravings, you could be one of the first people in the country to use it. To see if you qualify, either call Dr. Tai's office at 313-561-6800 and speak with Katie Lee Katie Lee can be:

If you are accepted into the study, you will pay only a nominal fee of $15 for the one-month trial to cover shipping charges and some of the costs for data collecting. As a "thank you," you'll receive a discount for the next few months as well. I'll publish the results of the study here.
