A More Meaningful Life: Kyle Kilman Loses 264 Pounds and Counting on MonaVie RVL!



An injury at the workplace resulted in the removal of Kyle Kilman's right fibula, and a consequent post-op infection led to him developing lymphedema in both thighs.

BLOOD SUGAR STABILIZATION VS. CALORIE & CARBOHYDRATE RESTRICTION



Restriction always fails. While restricting calories (calories in vs. calories out) or carbohydrates will initially cause weight loss, both methods will unfortunately lead to an immovable and impenetrable plateau once your body reaches its set point (the weight your body wants to weigh and where it gets stuck).
Even worse, calorie or carbohydrate restriction causes low blood sugar, leading to low energy levels, cravings, and, most importantly, a loss of lean muscle mass. Because fat is primarily burned within muscle, and muscle increases the rate at which your body burns calories, losing muscle slows your metabolism.
Inevitably, once you re-introduce the calories and carbohydrates you restricted (you can’t starve forever!), you regain the weight plus extra body fat due to the loss of lean muscle mass and a slower metabolism. This makes it even more challenging to lose weight the next time around and leads to the yo-yo syndrome (weight loss followed by weight gain). Creating a calorie or carbohydrate deficit trains your metabolism to slow down, not speed up!

Ditch the Diet Soda


Researchers analyzed data from over 2,500 participants in a study funded by the National Institutes of Health. While this study doesn’t show a cause and effect relationship, it certainly is intriguing particular because statistically, diet soda drinkers are more likely to be overweight or obese. That’s right: MORE LIKELY. Two-can-a-day drinkers have a 54.5 percent chance of becoming overweight or obese, compared to 32.8 percent for two-a-day drinkers of regular soda.

Thomas Jefferson's Warning To America



"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." -Thomas Jefferson


Wow if this isn't the truth!!!!

Is school making your child sick?
