The Holy Grail for taming America’s addictions to fast food and poor human health depends on the development of innovative nutritional products that can not only curb America’s appetite for foods enriched in sugar, salt and fat but also promote metabolic health that can both prevent and repair the damage caused by these harmful foods.

Having conducted a wide survey of the pharmaceutical and nutriceutical industries, one product that promises such results has recently emerged on the market. NovaLife, with headquarters in La Jolla, CA,, has developed Factor4 nutritional supplements that curb appetite for sugar, salt and fat-rich foods and provide essential nutrients (vitamins, minerals, micronutrients, protein and power amino acids®) that appear to combat metabolic risk factors (high blood cholesterol, triglycerides and sugar) and chronic degenerative diseases associated with the Metabolic Syndrome, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. NovaLife’s flagship product, called Factor4 Weight control® is currently available at www.factor4health.com.

According to Dr. Scheele, the founder of NovaLife, Factor4 Weight Control® with power amino acids® has been shown to improve results and ensure weight loss success compared with other weight loss strategies, including popular diets, weight loss programs, meal programs or weight loss products.  But the real surprise that emerged from customers taking Factor4 power shakes twice daily, according to Dr. Scheele, is the positive effects they have observed on metabolic risk factors and metabolic diseases. For example, in a growing number of patients who take Factor4 Weight Control® LDL (bad) cholesterol levels have been reduced and HDL (good) cholesterol levels have increased, allowing these patients to minimize or avoid statin drugs that may have serious adverse effects on muscle and liver tissue.

Factor4 has also reduced fasting blood sugar in type 2 diabetes and increased nourishment of peripheral tissues, resulting in noticeable enhancements of growth in hair and nails and improvements in skin color and elasticity. Factor4 builds muscle tissue and increases energy, stamina and endurance.  All in all Dr. Scheele has been able to record 20 general health benefits of Factor4 and up to 50 different ways that patients and customers may feel better in the eight major health systems of the body: (i) body weight and energy, (ii) beauty health (hair, skin and nails), (iii) Mental balance/health, (iv) digestive health, (v) metabolic health, (vi) immune health, (vii) sexual and reproductive health and (viii) anti-aging health.

Factor4 products also combat mental dysfunctions like anger, depression and anxiety and lead to positive changes in attitude, cooperation, performance and productivity. The same products have profound effects on the body’s natural resistance to viruses, bacteria and fungi, which minimizes sick days and leads to further increases in productivity.

Because of Factor4’s ability to combat addictive taste disorders and chronic degenerative diseases that are associated with poor health, premature aging and loss of productivity, Dr. Scheele believes that NovaLife’s products, including Factor4 Weight Control® and Factor4 Wellness®, have the power to remove the “elephant in the room” and enable corporate wellness programs to roll back the threat of America’s health care crisis.

It appears that the key to containing the health care crisis in America has less to do with quick-fix measures that proliferate in the market place of products and services than innovative products like Factor4 that enable ordinary people to change lifestyles that lead to better diets, better health, better attitudes and better performance. When this happens we will be able to live up to Hippocrates’ dictum, stated more than 2,400 years ago: Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food.”

Four-Step Weight Management Program

The more weight loss shakes and smoothies you take per day, the less food that you will need, and the more weight you will lose. However, additional factors need to be taken into consideration.  First, weight loss goals are different for every individual who joins the Factor4 Health Club.  Second, metabolic rates vary according to age, gender, genetic profiles and exercise levels.

Because of these variables in body weight and energy health NovaLife has developed a weight management system with four (4) steps or levels of increasing commitment to Factor4 Weight Control® to manage effective weight loss in a broad spectrum of individuals with different goals and requirements. These programs, listed below, are cumulative, meaning that higher levels of management include all lower levels of management:

POWER LEVEL #1:  Snack Control (Lose 5 to 10 pounds)

The strategy at the first level of commitment is to take Factor4 power shakes in lieu of snacks to block excess intake of carbohydrate rich snacks, including candy, chips, pastries and ice cream.  Factor4 works immediately to block food cravings, hunger pangs, famished states and eating binges. Factor4 should be taken at least twice daily in this program, which will allow calories to be reduced to 1500 or less without hunger.

POWER LEVEL #2:  Portion Control (Lose 10 to 25 pounds)

The strategy at the second level of commitment includes taking Factor4 power shakes prior to or with meals to minimize food intake with portion control. Thus, Factor4™ allows individuals to eat half meals that reduce the number of calories ingested throughout the day without suffering from hunger attacks. Factor4™ should be taken at least 2 to 3 times per day in this program, which will allow calories to be reduced to 1200 or less without hunger.

POWER LEVEL #3:  Meal Replacement (Lose 25 to 75 pounds)

The strategy at the third level of commitment includes taking Factor4 power shakes and smoothies as meal replacements once or twice daily to reduce the number of calories ingested throughout the day even further. Dinner may consist of a source of protein (fish, chicken or lean beef) and two vegetables (colored or leafy). The essential nutrients in Factor4™ keep the body energized and satisfied without the consumption of food calories. Factor4™ should be taken at least 3 to 4 times per day in this program, which will allow calories to be reduced to 1000 or less without hunger.

POWER LEVEL #4:  Boot Camp (Lose more than 100 pounds)

The strategy at the fourth level of commitment introduces the concept that large men and women need to increase the size of Factor4 shakes and smoothies according to their body weight in the table below.

Double shakes and smoothies work particularly well in large people who desire to lose challenging amounts of body fat. Start the day with a large Factor4 smoothie with added fruit or vegetables. Sip on double shakes at home or work throughout the day and during the evening or night. Keep them semi-chilled with ice cubes or by storing them in a refrigerator. Achieve variety in your double shakes and smoothies by following our Factor4 recipes. One meal is permitted with a lean protein source (fish or chicken) and two vegetables (colored or leafy).

All participants are surprised at how good their bodies feel and how well they sleep during “boot camp” at power level #4.  Most marvel at the complete absence of hunger on fruits, vegetables and Factor4.  That is the marvelous power of Factor4!

WHAT OTHER SUPPLEMENTS SHOULD BE TAKEN

Factor4 contains all the vitamins, minerals and micronutrients together with fructo-oligosaccharides that are favored by probiotic organisms in the large intestine. However, make sure you take omega-3 essential fatty acids (5-6 soft gel capsules per day) and a rich source of fiber like rye crisp crackers available in health food stores.

THE POWER OF FACTOR4 IN WEIGHT LOSS HEALTH

The secret to effective weight loss and sustained weight control is to vary the power of Factor4 weight loss program to fit the needs of the individual with their weight loss goals. Younger individuals who desire to lose 5 to 10 pounds may achieve their weight loss goals by committing to Factor4 Power Level #1. Slightly older individuals who desire to lose 15 to 25 pounds may achieve their weight loss goals by committing to Factor4 Power Level #2. Individuals who desire to lose 25 to 75 pounds may achieve their weight loss goals by committing to Factor4 Power Level #3. Individuals who desire to lose more than 100 pounds may achieve their weight loss goals by committing to Factor4 Power Level #4

THE POWER CHAIN OF FACTOR4 IN WEIGHT CONTROL

Once excess weight loss has been achieved, it is possible for individuals to move down the power chain to a lower value.  For example, if someone has selected power level #4 to lose 80 pounds of weight over a 6-9 month period, they may be able to move down the power chain to power level #3, then power level #2 and finally to power level #1 to maintain sustained weight control.

Naturally, if the individual begins to gain excessive weight again, they can move up the power chain to levels #2, #3 or #4 to block further weight gain, reverse the trend in body weight shifts and again achieve weight loss health.

The real secret of Factor4 Weight Control® is that it contains the essential nutrients (power amino acids®, vitamins, minerals and micronutrients) that suppress appetite and reset metabolic pathways so they optimize fat-burning metabolism without resorting to starvation mechanisms that harm the body by destroying vital organs and muscle tissues that are necessary for optimal health.

With the ability of individuals to move up and down the Factor4 power chain, replacing one power level strategy with another to offset unwanted shifts in body weight, Factor4 Weight Control® can be used by anyone to regulate their body weight without the catabolic (destructive) effects of popular diets and weight loss gimmicks on metabolic health.

Part 1 of 2

Power Amino Acids® contained in Factor4 Weight Control® close the food-chain gap and correct deficiencies in amino acids, proteins and metabolic pathways that control body weight and energy. In the presence of these deficiencies, the body stores excess energy in fat pads that lead to unsightly overweight disorders and obesity.

By taking power amino acids® and other essential nutrients in Factor4 Weight Control®, these deficiencies are corrected leading to the four major weight-loss benefits of this breakthrough product:

1. Factor4 burns calories, by resetting metabolic pathways that control fat storage and fat metabolism.

1. Factor4 suppresses appetite by satisfying appetite centers in the brain and stomach

1. Factor4 satisfies cravings with feeling of comfort, satisfaction and well-being

1. Factor4 boosts energy by increasing muscle mass and anabolic health

Part 1 of 1

Thus, Dr. Scheele’s new theory of nutrition and weight-loss health allows us to take a revolutionary step beyond the low fat/protein diets of public health policy and the high fat/protein diets of Dr. Atkins and other physicians to construct, for the first time, a low fat, low carbohydrate diet that leads to significant weight loss without suffering from the drastic reductions in carbohydrate intake, as recommended by Dr. Atkins, or the starvation diets that lead to extreme hunger, as recommended by public policy proponents.

The secret that is revealed in Dr. Scheele’s new diet and weight loss management plan is the use of power amino acids® to maintain anabolic/constructive health while at the same time achieving the feelings of comfort, satisfaction and well-being that are associated with natural appetite suppression. Because of the power of amino acids to provide multiple benefits that correct deficiencies in amino acids, positive-charged proteins, metabolic pathways and satiety that lead to improved weight loss health, POWER AMINO ACIDS® has been registered as a mark in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
