Watching your weight can be a full-time job. Dodging doughnuts in the break room at work and avoiding the chocolate cake that’s calling your name at home can leave you stressed — and hungry! Not to fear, though; there’s a sweet solution to your sticky situation: weight-loss lollipops.

Okay, candy is generally not what you would look to for shedding pounds, but thanks to a weight loss lollipop, candy can keep you slender this slim-down season. The lollipop is packed with a  proprietary blend that includes vitamins to combat cravings and increase energy.

“I have found that a lot of patients generally have a hard time with cravings and appetite,” says Kristin Dwyer, Pharmacist In Charge at New Leaf Specialty Pharmacy. “The phentermine decreases appetite and helps with energy.”

Our lollipops are ideal for busy people who find themselves tired and hungry throughout the day.

“You can carry them anywhere, and people won’t even know you’re on a diet,” Dwyer says. “A consistent patient can lose about half a pound a day.”  The lollipop is a proprietary formula of New Leaf Specialty Pharmacy

At New Leaf Wellness, the Weight Loss Program starts with drawing blood from patients to determine if they are healthy and able to move forward with the Weight Loss Program and the lollipop. The Weight Loss Program also comes with an eating plan and journal, which helps patients become more knowledgeable about appropriate portions as well as how to exercise to stay healthy.

Not only do these lollipops suppress hunger and charge the body with energy, but they also get the nervous system working more efficiently, which plays a big role in weight loss.

Most Americans are constipated because the nervous system is not working properly and that can be a cause of constipation, that can make it harder to lose weight. With the right eating plan and the lollipops, patients are better equipped for success on the weight loss program. This is a perfect answer for people who struggle getting to their desired weight…

At New Leaf Wellness, our Advanced Weight Loss Program is great for both men and women.

As you start your journey of weight loss, one thing you are very likely looking at is your meals. You want to make sure that you’re giving your body precisely what it needs but not over feed it where it stores fat. But, are you overlooking another critical element in the game? Many people aren’t giving nearly as much consideration to what they’re drinking in and around weight loss…but they should.

The impacts of dehydration on weight loss are significant and this could be one factor that improves weight loss. Let’s look at how dehydration will impact you so that you can get straight how important this is.

Muscular Endurance
The very first manner in which dehydration impacts you is with your muscular endurance. Basically, you are going to feel fatigue quicker during the day. Your body needs to move in order to loose weight.

Fluid losses equal to just 1-2% of your total body weight will negatively impact your weight loss. The primary reason this tends to occur is because the maximum pumping capacity of the heart that can be achieved during the day will decrease, which then decreases overall activity capacity. In addition, the decrease in plasma volume will mean that there is a lower blood pressure and blood is thicker, which can also induce feelings of fatigue.

Muscular Strength
Don’t think that if you aren’t exercising you’re protected from these harmful effects of dehydration. That is not the case at all.

In addition to seeing declines in endurance, you’ll also see declines in physical strength. When around 3% of total body weight in dehydration occurs, this can result in strength losses of up to 5%, showing a greater magnitude than the dehydration itself.

Therefore, this is going to be very problematic for those who have more weight to loose. This again is going to be due to decreased reduction in blood flow and blood pressure along with an increase in core temperature.

One additional point to know here is that dehydration can also increase the rate of glycogen use by the muscle tissues, and since during strenuous activities muscle glycogen is the primary fuel being utilized, this will have a significant influence on your ability to generate force over time.

Focus And Concentration
Finally, dehydration can also influence your ability to focus and concentration. This is huge as weigh loss takes a lot of focus and concentration. When we loos focus we tend to look at the here and now not the what can be. At this point it is easy to give up.

If you don’t have the mental tenacity that you need to pursue weight loss due to dehydration, you won’t be concentrating on your future goal, thus you will be mentally weaker overall and give into temptation.

Maintaining a strong level of concentration is imperative for weight loss and dehydration will prevent you from doing so. Some may also find they start experiencing headaches during weight loss as well and some may even become light-headed or dizzy if blood pressure gets too low. This could then go on to impact balance, making it harder to focus.

So there you have the main areas that dehydration will influence your weight loss. To maintain adequate hydration, make sure to drink when you are thirsty. At New Leaf Wellness we recommend at least 96 oz– but you could do an IV Nutrition session, that will help also.

If you do this, you can rest assured you are keeping yourself well hydrated.
