Healthy Chocolate X Protein Meal Replacement Shake

Back in the day, most San Diego diets were all about limiting calories. You've heard the equation: burn more than you consume.

The San Diego medical community now has much more knowledge about the roles of protein, antioxidants, and carbohydrates in weight-loss. MXI has developed an effective weight-loss protocol around the Xocai X Protein Meal Replacement Shake.

If you love chocolate shakes, this may be the best tasting Healthy Chocolate weight-loss plan that will work for you. In the initial pilot study of the chocolate shake diet, participants replaced two meals a day with the Xocai Chocolate Shake.

For their 'real meal' the participants were instructed to eat a normal, well-balanced meal. The two meal replacement shakes contain all the protein, vitamins and antioxidants you need for the entire day. And, don't forget, it contains Xocai dark chocolate.

The healthy chocolate dieters reported that they had energy, never felt hungry, and, best of all--they lost weight! The first Healthy for you Chocolate Weight Loss Trial was an overwhelming success. Here are some comments from the chocolate diet participants (as reported in the Winter 2011 issue of Prosper Magazine):

"I never felt deprived or grumpy. I felt energy, strength, motivation. I feel healthy!" "The past 12 weeks have been an emotional journey for me, but I have made a lifestyle change for myself! I know that I will be fit for life with the help of the X Protein Wellness System." "The shake allowed me to stay within the guidelines of a healthy eating plan. In 11 weeks, I have lost 47 pounds."

Some of the dieters lost 30 pounds or more. Have you ever thought of chocolate as a San Diego diet food? The Xocai antioxidant chocolate shake is not a dessert. It has been carefully formulated to nourish your body and help you lose weight. When you have reached your goal weight, you can use the Xocai Meal Replacement Shake to maintain your new svelte self.

I lost over 62 pounds Here is my picture My gut is almost gone, 50 waist to 38 a big difference the shake made the difference for me.

Healthy Energy Drink Is there such a thing?

Now there is... an all natural healthy alternative. Why did this come of age? Are energy drinks a recent San Diego phenomenon? Though Red Bull may claim they invented the super-potent beverage, many ancient cultures concocted herbal energy drinks centuries before Red Bull sold their first can.

There are now literally hundreds of unhealthy choices, filled with sugar and ingredients you can't pronounce. There is only one that is truly healthy for you.

First let me ask how important is it to change this habit for you or your kids?

The average teen drinks 2-3 of these daily. In many cases the intake exceeds their water intake.

The excess sugar and caffeine leads to health problems. Now more than ever in our history kids are getting diabetic symptoms. Remember when they used to call it. "Adult Onset Diabetes?" My dad used to keep cases of these diet and regular soda. Thats all I drank all day every day.

Here is how I used to look before eating and drinking healthy chcocolate.

A new study suggests diet soda may lead to heart failure.

Can you afford not to make a change in their habits?

 The XE Energy Drink tastes like a grape soda, its good for you, its good for your kids knowing you can offer them an great tasting healthier alternative they will love. They won't know how good XE Energy Drink its for them. A great tasting all natural energy drink that helps strengthen their immune system.

 

 

 They are going to make the choice if you don't. Soda is not good for them. Diet or Regular.

 

 The XE Healthy Energy drink embodies the best of the proven natural energy boosters from around the globe. Let's look at the ingredients in Xocai's Xe Proprietary Pure Energy Blend.

MacaMaca, like acai, is a superfood from South America. Cultivated by ancient Peruvians, maca is now used internationally as a safe, herbal medicine to aid weight loss, increase bone strength, promote mental acuity, and increase libido (can Rock Star do that?).

Ginseng

The Chinese have used ginseng for centuries as an energy booster, memory aid, heart medicine and overall health supplement. Because of its effectiveness, most other countries have adopted ginseng as well. SucramaltThis low glycemic index sweetener slowly releases carbohydrates into your system. Because it prevents blood sugar spikes, it also suppresses appetite because blood sugar surges stimulate hunger pangs.

Yerba Mate

 Another South American plant, yerba mate is packed with antioxidants and provides sustained physical energy without the jitters that can make it hard to focus.

Quercetin

 A plant-based flavonoid that is believed to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, asthma and reduce the symptoms of diabetes.

Guarana

 This natural stimulant has been used by Amazonian tribes for thousands of years as a treatment for a variety of ailments including migraines, fever, hypertension and diarrhea. Some pre-Colombian tribes ate guarana seeds prior to battle because it staved off fatigue during intense hand-to-hand combat.

Daily consumption of a dark chocolate containing flavanols and added sterol esters affects cardiovascular risk factors in a normotensive population with elevated cholesterol.

Abstract

Previous studies with plant sterols (PS) and cocoa flavanols (CF) provide support for their dietary use in maintaining cardiovascular health. This double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study evaluated the efficacy of daily consumption of a cocoa flavanol-containing dark chocolate bar with added PS on serum lipids, blood pressure, and other circulating cardiovascular health markers in a population with elevated serum cholesterol. We recruited 49 adults (32 women, 17 men) with serum total cholesterol concentrations of 5.20-7.28 mmol/L and blood pressure of < or = 159/99 mm Hg. Following a 2-wk lead-in utilizing the AHA style diet, participants were randomized into 2 groups and instructed to consume 2 cocoa flavanol-containing dark chocolate bars per day with (1.1 g sterol esters per bar) or without PS. Each 419-kJ bar was nutrient-matched and contained approximately 180 mg CF. Participants consumed 1 bar 2 times per day for 4 wk then switched to the other bar for an additional 4 wk. Serum lipids and other cardiovascular markers were measured at baseline and after 4 and 8 wk. Blood pressure was measured every 2 wk. Regular consumption of the PS-containing chocolate bar resulted in reductions of 2.0 and 5.3% in serum total and LDL cholesterol (P < 0.05), respectively. Consumption of CF also reduced systolic blood pressure at 8 wk (-5.8 mm Hg; P < 0.05). Results indicate that regular consumption of chocolate bars containing PS and CF as part of a low-fat diet may support cardiovascular health by lowering cholesterol and improving blood pressure.

The Raw Food Diet

The Raw Food Diet

A Raw Food diet advocates believe that it provides more energy for the body and lessens the risk of disease. However, further studies are needed to prove such. As some researchers believe that raw diet can also deprive important nutrients from the body, which could potentially lead to severe undernourishment.

Raw foodists, as these people are called, lives out with dietary patterns that consist of uncooked and unprocessed plant-based foods in their most natural state. Raw food diet is believed to be the most healthful for the body. According to them, it is a lifestyle, and not just a plain method of weight reduction or dieting. The uncooked foods which compose more than 75percent of the dietary patterns are prepared in by ways like peeled, chopped, strained, blended and dehydrated. Aside from whole vegetables and fruits, among the staple food ingredients for raw food diets include seaweed, sprouts, seeds, whole grains, beans, legumes, dried fruits and nuts. On the other hand, processed and refined foods like sugar and caffeine are prohibited.

As raw food diet is a subtype of vegetarianism, raw foodists mainly do not eat meat in their diets, but some do eat eggs and cheese as long as they are derived from raw and unpasteurized milk. A raw food diet is prepared through food dehydrators that make the vegetables crunchy. The dehydrator heats the food, but not as high as 115 to118 degrees. Several recipes are also widely known nowadays utilizing raw fruits and vegetables.

There are many challenges in raw diet, though. Medical literature on the raw food diet is limited. Researchers focus vegetarianism and veganism and the health benefits of a plant-based diet, but only a few focuses on the specific effect of cooking the vegetables that reduces the nutritional contents of the vegetables. Although, a study that reflects the effect of raw food diet on certain cancers like that of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, and gastric system gives raw food diet a positive light. Additionally, the raw food diet is a diets that work fast. The downside is that one study showed that a diet of only raw food can cause interruptions to the menstrual cycle due to drastic weight loss.

Whether raw food diet is healthy or not, the final decision is yet unknown because studies are still ongoing. Accordingly, raw foodists have been found out to have adequate levels of vitamin A and carotenoids which are seen on raw and fresh fruits and vegetables. These certain chemicals are known to protect the body against chronic diseases. However, they are also seen to have low levels of lycopene, which is only derived when tomatoes are cooked. Lycopene plays a great role in preventing diseases like cancer, etc. Another thing would be the limited acquisition of vitamin B12, which is available on animal foods and products. Vitamin B12 deficiency results to anemia and neurological impairment. In addition, raw foodists do not eat fish, they may not get enough essential substances like omega 3 fatty acids. For the raw foodists who are slim, there can be risk of low bone mass in the hips and the lumbar spine and hip.

Should an individual decide to be a raw foodist, a complete nutritional requirement should be focused to suffice the body’s daily need. This is achieved through variation of the different foods raw food diet could offer, alongside with the necessary supplements to maintain a healthy diet.

Why Dark Chocolate?

Before beginning a debate on chocolate it would be wise to first set the stage by addressing why it is fundamental for all, yes all people to enjoy chocolate as it was meant to be enjoyed in the first place. Many people associate chocolate with Hershey or Mars companies and this is to be expected, since this is the most widely recognized and available form of cacao on the market, but do a little research and you will realize that you are not eating much chocolate at all but rather a mixture of additives, mainly sugar and other fillers to reduce the price of cacao for the masses, because when Hershey developed his technique's cacao was too expensive for the average person.

After creating milk chocolate, which is hardly chocolate at all, it was widely available to everyone and became associated with what people associate chocolate to taste like. Unfortunately because of the added ingredients this chocolate barely resembles the cacao that was initially the target of consumption. Milk has none of the helpful benefits of of dark chocolate including a high level of antioxidants.

Other Comparisons

Since comparing dark vs milk chocolate is not a comparison of two like things lets just compare the reasons people usually indulge in one vs the other. Usually Milk chocolate is the chocolate that most of us grow up associating to the taste of cacao so we have a perspective of it being very sweet and carb dense. On the other hand once you develop a taste for real (dark) chocolate it is a completely different experience. I can equate this to drinking real cappuccino vs the kind you get at the gas station. They both call themselves cappuccino, but only one really has the taste of the beans it was made from, the other is full of filler, mostly sugar and is appealing to the sweet tooths of most.

Conclusion

If you really enjoy the taste of cacao then you will be a dark chocolate connoisseur, if you enjoy the taste of sugar with your cacao then you will like milk chocolate. The distinction between the two is most important when discussing the benefits of chocolate. Most people read a study on how small amounts of chocolate can be good for your health and generalize those benefits to any chocolate, when in reality those studies are centered around 70% or higher concentrated dark chocolates.

The milk chocolate poses a problem for vegans, companies are now coming out with new healthy chocolate vegan and gluten free. All chocolates are not created equal and many claim high cocao but really are still roasted losing all the benefits and still giving you all the sugar. Remember Chocolate is bitter in its natural form, some companies are adding in Acai berry to sweeten the bitterness while preserving the goodness. In one case they are now making weight loss products from good chocolate that are showing great results.

Can Healthy Chocolate Help Fibromyalgia in Los Angeles?

Can Healthy Chocolate Help Fibromyalgia in Los Angeles? If you are one of the many San Diego fibromyalgia sufferers, you know how difficult life can be with this debilitating condition. Extreme muscle pain and chronic fatigue are the most common physical symptoms, but sufferers also experience mental and emotional problems such as depression and problems focusing. The following information is from the Mayo Clinic: “Fibromyalgia occurs in about two percent of the population in the United States. Women are much more likely to develop the disorder than are men, and the risk of fibromyalgia increases with age. Fibromyalgia symptoms often begin after a physical or emotional trauma, but in

many cases there appears to be no triggering event.” Xocai healthy chocolate can help San Diego fibromyalgia sufferers by reducing inflammation, increasing energy and promoting alertness. In 2006, a fibro patient named Mike reluctantly tried Xocai at the urging of his wife, Beverly. “Wow…was I in for an awakening! Once I started on Xocai Activ and Nuggets, I began to notice a difference in just 4 days…that’s right, 4 days! In two weeks, I was so much better, I was talking to family, friends and work associates all the time about this great discovery I had made. Since Mike found relief, many people in San Diego have discovered the best-tasting health supplement for fibromyalgia sufferers; Xocai antioxidant chocolate. If you have fibromyalgia symptoms and live in San Diego, Los Angeles, or La Jolla, contact me at 619-320-8114 to try Xocai dark chocolate. As a special note, Xocai likes to remind all my friends in San Diego that these statements have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Is Xocai Chocolate really good for you?

I was cruising around the web in my San Diego office the other day and came across an article from the Harvard Medical School. I was pleased to see this respected institution validate Xocai's physiological benefits.

Here is an excerpt about endothelial function:

The endothelium is the thin inner layer of arteries. It’s responsible for producing nitric oxide, a tiny chemical that widens blood vessels and keeps their linings smooth. Can chocolate help? Doctors in Greece think it may. They fed 100 grams (about 3½ oz) of dark chocolate to 17 healthy volunteers and observed rapid improvement in endothelial function. Swiss investigators found similar effects from dark chocolate.

German scientists reported that flavanol-rich cocoa can reverse the endothelial dysfunction produced by smoking, and European doctors reported that dark chocolate appears to improve coronary artery function in heart transplant patients. There’s good news for nonsmoking, original-heart people, too, since Harvard researchers found that cocoa can blunt the endothelial dysfunction associated with aging.

Link Found Between Chocolate and Mood

by Nancy Schimelpfening,

Researchers at the University of California at San Diego have found a link between eating chocolate and depression, with levels of chocolate consumption being related to how depressed a person is.

The researchers studied chocolate consumption and mood in 931 adults who were not taking an antidepressant and did not have heart disease or diabetes.

The study participants were asked about how much chocolate they ate in a week and their level of depression was assessed using a scale called "Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale."

It was found that those who were most depressed also consumed the most chocolate and chocolate consumption seemed to correlate with the level of depression, with those who were not depressed eating 5.4 servings per month, while those with possible depression ate 8.4 and those with probable major depression ate 11.8 servings.

While no firm conclusions can be drawn about why this link exists, the authors suggest several possible reasons:

• If chocolate improves mood, then cravings for chocolate may be a way to self-medicate depression
• Depression may stimulate chocolate cravings for reasons unrelated to helping the person feel better
• Greater chocolate consumption could actually be the cause of higher depression levels in the participants

"Future studies are required to elucidate the foundation of the association," said the authors, "and to determine whether chocolate has a role in depression, as cause or cure."

The study appears in the April 26, 2010 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine

 

What if the chocolate you picked was Healthy and assisted you not only with depression but could reduce cravings and make you lose weight? A chocolate that is healthy for you?
