Pulling the Fat from Foods with LipoBIND

LipoBIND - Fat blocker made from natural dried cactus extract. While reducing fat intake is certainly associated with dieting, it is also among the goals of those with perfectly healthy weights who take LipoBIND. Fat is one of the more dangerous elements of food and, though our bodies require a certain amount of it to function correctly, the amounts contained in many of the most popular dishes are far in excess of what's needed and what's healthy. Reducing this fat intake can have significant effects on one's overall health and, fortunately, this goal can be accomplished with the use of entirely natural ingredients which are safe for the vast majority of individuals.

LipoBIND is made out of cactus leaves. The substances contained in these leaves bind with fat. When the two merge, they create a sort of gel of dietary fiber and fat which is passed harmlessly from the body along with any other waste. This can reduce the amount of fat that one receives from their food by as much as 27 percent, according to the manufacturer's literature. There are other ways in which LipoBIND is designed to make losing weight easier and more convenient than it tends to be otherwise.

LipoBIND helps to control one's appetite. Most appetite problems are caused by sharp peaks and valleys in one's blood glucose levels. When the levels plummet, the body will demand food and this can make it exceedingly difficult for one to stick to their diet program. LipoBIND helps keep the body's glucose levels regular which allows individuals to enjoy the sensation of being satisfied by a meal for longer and reduces the risk of one indulging a bit too much when they become hungry and, thus, ruining all the work they put toward reducing their weight in the first place.

It is recommended that one takes a vitamin supplement along with LipoBIND. The company offers its own line of supplements to go along with their LipoBIND product. Because the substances in the supplement will bind with the vitamin, it's not recommended to take a dosage of LipoBIND for 2 hours after having taken one's vitamins. This supplement is taken after meals when the materials in LipoBIND can bind with what food is in the stomach and ensure that the total amount of fat intake is not absorbed by the body. This also helps the body digest more slowly, reducing further the rate at which hunger returns.

LipoBIND is used by some individuals as a means of maintaining their already healthy weight as well as by those who need to lose weight in the short term. When it's used as a preventative supplement, the dosages are a bit different and all of this information is detailed on the manufacturer's literature. There are ceiling amounts which should be taken in the course of a day and one should adhere to these recommendations to ensure the best results and to ensure their overall health. This supplement is not recommended for those who are currently pregnant or nursing.

Recipe: Fattoush

Dietitian's tip: Fattoush is a traditional Lebanese salad seasoned with sumac, a tart, deep red spice made from the dried berries of the sumac bush. It can be found in Middle Eastern groceries and well-stocked supermarkets.

SERVES 8

Ingredients

For the dressing
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground sumac (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
7 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 whole-wheat (whole-meal) pita breads, 6 inches in diameter, torn into 1/2-inch pieces
1 head romaine lettuce, diced (about 4 cups)
2 tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 small cucumbers, peeled, seeded and diced
1 red bell pepper (capsicum) seeded and diced
3 green (spring) onions including tender green tops, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

Directions

To make the dressing, combine the lemon juice, garlic, cumin, sumac (if using), salt, red pepper flakes and black pepper in a blender or a food processor. Process until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil in a thin stream until emulsified. Set the dressing aside.

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Spread the pita bread pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until crisp and lightly golden, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
