Healthy Cholesterol Levels
http://track.moreniche.com/hit.php?w=122934&s=38&a=224 What is Proactol fat binder?
Proactolâ„¢ diet pill is a clinically proven organic fat binder that is recommended and endorsed for the treatment of obesity and overweight.
Fat binding is safe method for treating obesity by removing fat from the body prior to digestion.
Fat binder causes weight loss by binding with fats in the stomach, and preventing them from being digested, absorbed into our bloodstream and stored in the body.
Proactolâ„¢ is 100% natural, 100% organic, based on a patented fibre complex NeOpuntia® made from dehydrated leaves of the nutritious cactus “Opuntia fiscus-indica”.
Most of the weight loss pills on the market are based on hoodia, chitosan, green tea or other active ingredients.
Usually we face numerous claims about amazing effects of a certain weight loss product.
Digging deeper, we cannot find any clinical endorsements to those claims or stay uncertain of real authenticity of pills components.
And at last, Proactolâ„¢ appeared on the market.
Proactolâ„¢ weight loss pill complies MDD 93/42/EEC standard as a “medical device product” for the treatment of obesity.
Its efficacy is backed by no less than 4 pre-clinical studies and numerous smaller studies.
How Proactol helps lose weight
Proactol natural fibre complex consists of two fibres: a non-soluble fiber and a soluble fibre both working in different ways to help us manage our weight and improve our overall health.
Non-Soluble fibers
When Proactolâ„¢ non-soluble fibres come into contact with dietary fats it binds with them immediately to form a fluid gel around the fat. This makes the fats complex too large to be absorbed by our body. Unabsorbed fats then pass naturally through our body. Proactolâ„¢ has been clinically proven to bind over 27% of dietary fats.
Soluble fibers
Proactolâ„¢ soluble fibers are highly viscous when binding with bile acids to create a very viscous solution which slows down digestion and slows down the absorption of glucose.
Our stomach finds the viscous solution a lot harder to digest therefore it remains in our stomach far longer than an ordinary meal usually would. This gives us a feeling of being full for much longer.
Our appetite is suppressed and food cravings decrease too.
Proactol’s fat binding properties are provided by active component NeOpuntia®, which is patented and beared numerous clinical studies that showed its efficacy.

Atkins Diet and Cholesterol: Facts and myths
* First my apologies that Pinnacle Studios screwed up the audio – video sync at the end (7:40). I tried redoing the video three times, but the same out of sync happened each time.*
In this video, I deal with another one of the myths that Atkins Diet increases one’s cholesterol level due to its saturated fats. This misconception has been proven false over and over in many different studies. At very least, here is my anecdotal evidence.
My Cholesterol (Starting to Now)
Total Cholesterol – 198 to 153
LDL Cholesterol – 148 to 95
HDL Cholesterol – 35 to 58
Triglycerides – 135 to 43
What’s Good and Bad?
http://cholesterol.emedtv.com/hdl/hdl-ldl-ratio.html
“It is the ratio between the level of HDL-”good” cholesterol and total cholesterol that we need to be concerned about. Therefore, in adults, the HDL-”good” cholesterol/total cholesterol ratio should be higher than 0.24 (just divide your HDL level by your cholesterol).
Generally speaking, the higher the ratio, the better (the lower your risk of a heart attack).”
Mine – .61
This popular medical belief ignores however that all LDL molecules are not necessarily created equal.
“It appears common for people with high triglycerides to have low HDL’s, and these same people also tend to have high levels of clotting factors in their blood stream, which is unhealthy in protecting against heart disease.
Therefore, in adults, the triglyceride/HDL-”good” cholesterol ratio should be below 2 (just divide your triglycerides level by your HDL). Or more precisely, the triglyceride/HDL ratio:
2 or less is considered ideal
4 – high
6 – much too high”
Mine – .74
It is now believed that the triglycerides/HDL ratio is one of the most potent predictors of heart disease.
A Harvard-lead study author reported:
“High triglycerides alone increased the risk of heart attack nearly three-fold. And people with the highest ratio of triglycerides to HDL — the “good” cholesterol — had 16 times the risk of heart attack as those with the lowest ratio of triglycerides to HDL in the study of 340 heart attack patients and 340 of their healthy, same age counterparts.
The ratio of triglycerides to HDL was the strongest predictor of a heart attack, even more accurate than the LDL/HDL ratio. (Circulation 1997;96:2520-2525).”
Other Studies, which prove to healthy nature of Atkins or Low Carb in respect to heart health:
* Weight Loss with a Low-Carbohydrate, Mediterranean, or Low-Fat Diet
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12106620
“The low-carbohydrate group consumed the smallest amount of carbohydrates and the largest amounts of fat, protein. … The mean weight loss was 2.9 kg for the low-fat group, and 4.7 kg for the low-carbohydrate group. … The relative reduction in the ratio of total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was 20% in the low-carbohydrate group and 12% in the low-fat group”
* Effect of 6-month adherence to a very low carbohydrate diet program.
Am J Med. 2002 Jul;113(1):30-6.
“Serum total cholesterol level decreased 11 +/- 26 mg/dL, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level decreased 10 +/- 25 mg/dL, triglyceride level decreased 56 +/- 45 mg/dL, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level increased 10 +/- 8 mg/dL, and the cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio decreased 0.9 +/- 0.6 units.”
* Comparison of high-fat and high-protein diets with a high-carbohydrate diet in insulin-resistant obese women.
Diabetologia, 2005 (Vol. 48) (No. 1) 8-16
These observations suggest that the popular diets reduced insulin resistance to a greater extent than the standard dietary advice did. When compared with the HC diet, the HF and HP diets were shown to produce significantly greater reductions in several parameters, including weight loss, waist circumference and triglycerides. LDL cholesterol decreased in individuals on the HC and HP diets.Of those on the HF diet, 25% showed a more than 10% increase in LDL cholesterol, whereas this occurred in only 13% of subjects on the HC diet and 3% of those on the HP diet.
