Happy New Year from Rejuvé!

Being that it’s January and there are many festivities likely afoot for our patients and readers, we thought we’d provide some extensive information regarding the many diet options that are at your disposal to help you achieve the look and feel you aspire for yourself through your goals for the new year.

Whether you plan to cheat later this month leading into the first of the year, that’s completely up to you. However, the new year is a great opportunity for you to diligently practice your health and wellness routine. Getting a jumpstart on your new physique and your new healthy lifestyle doesn’t have to feel like too much of a drudgery, either. Below are a few diet options that many people are utilizing leading into 2020 and getting amazing results!

HCG has made quite the name for itself for being a diet that helps patients achieve quick results, which will help you shed a good deal of weight in a short amount of time.

The HCG diet involves calorie restriction but should not to be confused with one of those “crash” diets you may have read about.

HCG is a hormone that is associated with pregnancy. While in pregnancy, HCG can cause feelings of nausea, but for those who aren’t pregnant, HCG ends up being an effective hunger reducer without the nausea associated in pregnant patients. HCG is a useful supplement to help you meet the demands of a calorie restriction diet without feeling the pains of hunger.

HCG can be used by both men and women, too! In fact, Dr. Simeons (who first discovered the diet) had treated over 10,000 men and women during the 1950s.

Another added benefit of HCG is that it helps activate fat release from unwanted fat stores in areas like the belly and flanks while inspiring the body to use fat as fuel. HCG can help you lose extra fat weight that’s been holding you back -- and lots of it!

Lastly, when HCG is used in conjunction with a specific type of calorie restricted diet that we can tell you more about if you’re interested. This diet will help you maintain muscle while only your fat gets burned. Contact Rejuvé today to learn more! Remember that the HCG diet should never be done without physician supervision.

The Prolon Intermittent Diet

If one of your goals for the new year is to stay active in the gym and change your diet for the year in order to magnify your results, The Prolon Intermittent Diet might be the right choice for you.

The Prolon Diet can help you:

●   Focus on your body
●   Gives your GI tract a rest from the onslaught of all the poor diet choices
●   Gives you a running start on improving health issues like diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension by lowering blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure
●   Helps your body clean out unwanted waste through a process called “Autophagy”
●   Activates your stem cells

The Prolon diet is a variation of the Fasting Mimicking Diet, which was developed by Dr. Valter Longo at the USC Longevity Institute.

Also called the FMD, this diet gets results due to periodic fasting that unlocks hidden health benefits and positive metabolic effects. The FMD can reduce overall fat while promoting your longevity and vitality at the same time, not to mention boost your energy throughout the day.

Prolon is a 5-day dietary program which aims to nourish the body while inspiring your body’s own all-natural regenerative and rejuvenating processes. The Prolon diet also helps support healthy levels of physiological markers that help slow the signs of aging (cholesterol, fasting glucose, and inflammation included).

The Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet also gets rid of the inherent dangers of water-only fasting programs, providing a satiating, effective, safe, and even convenient dietary program that doesn’t require ongoing lifestyle changes after you’ve completed the diet.

Additional benefits of the Prolon diet include:

●   Improved fasting glucose
●   Improved cognitive performance
●   Boost in C-reactive protein
●   Increased growth factor levels
●   More balanced and consistent circadian cycles
●   Expedited cell renewal

Keto Diet

You’ve likely heard about the Ketogenic Diet and maybe even know someone who is currently utilizing The Keto Diet to help them achieve their health and wellness goals.

You may be surprised to know that ketogenic diets are really nothing new and have been utilized by health professionals for specialized conditions for quite a long time. The Keto Diet was used to help aid those who live with epilepsy since 1921.

In current times there has been new interest in the KD approach. The Keto Diet has been shown to help treat conditions such as:

●   Obesity
●   Diabetes
●   Inflammation
●   Cancer
●   Neurological conditions

The Keto Diet has also been shown to help with chronic maladies and ailments.

More on the Keto Diet

The classic ketogenic diet puts an emphasis on consuming healthy fats, which make up 80-90% of the diet as a whole. Protein takes second seat at anywhere from 8%-15% of the diet, while carbohydrates make up about 2%-5%.

The objective of The Keto Diet is to mimic what happens to your body during fasting without compromising the body’s growth ability. When a person limits their carb and protein intake, the body begins to burn fat as an energy source, which helps patients lose weight fast.

As your body’s glucose levels decrease, fat-derived ketone bodies start to spring into action, taking center stage as the body's most important energy source. This metabolic state (ketosis) is what gives The Keto Diet it’s popular name.

Disease-Fighting Properties of the Ketogenic Diet

The Keto Diet has been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of various diseases and health conditions. Many leading health professionals and weight loss counselors are championing The Keto Diet and using it both a preventive measure a prescriptive measure.

Stick with The Keto Diet to reduce, minimize, and diminish serious health conditions that can cost you time, money, and heartache down the road.

The Keto Diet remains a totally non-pharmacological approach which can help improve your quality of life the drug-free way. This diet could help you reduce drug cost, help you minimize your risk of acquiring a drug dependence, not to mention inspire you to join a minimalist, whole food community.

Keto: The Anti-Inflammatory Diet

The ketosis process forces the body to use fat instead of sugar as its source of energy, which gives this diet its anti-inflammatory properties. Excess sugar causes the body to produce more insulin, which raises your inflammation markers and creates free radicals, which have been linked to cancer. Inflammation can affect blood vessel linings as well, which activates the body’s immune system. Inflammation has also been shown to trigger and promote other chronic diseases, too.

Incorporating a ketogenic diet has been shown to be beneficial in cutting off tumor energy supply, which might help hinder growth.

Carbohydrates also play a role in inflammation, which the KD helps reduce or otherwise diminish altogether. Excess carbohydrates in the body get broken down into sugars, which spike blood glucose levels far higher than usual. Inflammation, when it turns chronic, can also lead to serious health problems like insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

Ketogenic diets low in sugar assist in reducing insulin surges, also reducing overall inflammation in the process, helping you reduce the chances of getting a diagnosis you don’t want.

The Keto Diet will have you avoiding the following foods:

●   Grains -- rice, wheat, rye, oats, barley, pasta, cereal, even quinoa
●   Beans and legumes
●   Foods high in starch -- potatoes, yams, corn, peas
●   Fruits high in carbs -- dried or dehydrated fruit, bananas, apples, oranges
●   Low-fat dairy
●   Sugars
●   Alcohol -- beer, wine, liquor

Foods you can have include:

●   Beef
●   Pork
●   Poultry
●   Wild game
●   Eggs
●   Cheese
●   Avocado
●   Olive oil
●   Coconut oil
●   Grass-Fed Butter
●   Kale
●   Broccoli
●   Green beans
●   Mixed greens
●   And more!

With the Keto Diet you’ll feel less food-deprived as you would with other diets. We’d recommend this diet over the Atkins diet, apple juice liver cleanses, the Hollywood diet, the cabbage soup diet, the five-bite diet, and all of their counterparts.

Although The Ketogenic Diet is highly restrictive, its high healthy fat intake requirements will likely leave you satisfied. At Rejuve, we can provide assistance with education on how to do the keto diet correctly. Also, we have several supplements like the Keto-Nootropic powder which helps provide Keto friendly energy ketones which maintains ketosis while on the keto diet– all in an easy to use and easy to dose manner.
