Maximum freshness and vitality: The DETOX CREAM from JANSSEN COSMETICS It seems like going on a DETOX is everyone’s New Year’s resolution. For some, this comes in the form of fasting, others opt for a more conscious healthier diet plus more exercise. Often our hectic lifestyle and increased UV exposure can overtax our natural cell cleansing system. This has consequences for all organs – but especially for our skin! The complexion appears tired and pale due to increased accumulation of metabolic waste products. It doesn’t matter what age you are, this will mean that your skin often lacks freshness and glow. Lines, wrinkles and age spots start to show. But that’s where the DETOX CREAM from JANSSEN COSMETICS comes in! The innovative 24h care formula supports the cellular cleansing systems of the skin and provides it with a hit of new vitality and freshness! Who wouldn’t want an even and youthfully radiant complexion? Especially if the skin often looks pale and tired at a young age. It lacks freshness and vitality! The reason behind this is environmental stress symptoms that overtax the skin’s natural detoxification system and lead to deposits in the skin cells. The DETOX CREAM supports the detoxifying mechanisms of the skin. Highly active ingredients, such as yeast extract and a peptide from the avocado fruit, stimulate the cell’s own detoxification systems and vitamins C and E work to protect the skin from oxidative cell damage. Thanks to a fat content of 31%, the DETOX CREAM actually even tends to make dry skin noticeably supple and, with regular applications, provides the skin with more vitality after only a short time! Age spots are visibly reduced and the skin has an even shine and feels youthfully fresh! Application: Apply the DETOX CREAM morning and/or evening to cleansed skin on the face and décolleté. (50 ml, sales price approx. Afl. 98.80) Available in selected institutes and from the online shop at www.janssen-cosmetics.com
Dry Skin treatment by Janssen Cosmetics Careful care with lipid-replenishing and moisture-binding active substances is highly important to make dry skin elastic and supple again. DRY SKIN is the special care series for this skin type. Mild cleansing and care products support the skin’s physiology with modern active substances. These increase its moisture binding capacity and strengthen the hydrolipidic film. Regular care with DRY SKIN makes dry skin smooth and supple again, and strengthens its natural film to protect against external influences. https://www.rbvonline.com/pre-diet.html Dieters are usually anxious to start the diet process when they make their commitment. The solution to the dilemma is the Pre-Diet. It allows the dieter to get started with the diet process, start losing weight and learn skills that they can apply during the remainder of the diet process. The Pre-Diet introduces the concepts of restricted eating, of weighing and measuring food, of maintaining a record of the foods that they select, of taking multi-vitamins, essential fatty acids and other supplements as required by the clinic, and of increasing the intake of water as indicated. It also presents an opportunity to introduce protein supplementation into the daily diet regimen. A good Pre-Diet program increases motivation, promotes referrals, teaches the value of compliance, gives the dieter an understanding of how the diet will work and the importance of protein supplementation. Your own experience with the Pre-Diet will indicate the value it may have to your program.
Before you start your re-feeding plan it is important to be aware of the way a ketogenic diet works in respect of weight loss and weight gain and the part glycogen plays in this process. Everyone loves the results of a VLCD ketogenic diet, you can achieve fast results, suppressed appetite, and regular weight loss. However, it is common for people to panic when the time comes for taking a break or coming off of a VLCD for fear of gaining weight. There is nothing to be afraid of and we want to start by putting your mind at rest and explaining the process, and why the weight gain you will have during this time is not a bad thing! When on a VLCD you are typically consuming in the region of 40-70g of carbohydrates per day. This level of carbohydrates will force the body into a state of ketosis due to the body not having enough glycogen to use as its main fuel source and switches to using fat for energy. The breakdown of fats in this process results in three different molecules called ‘ketones’ two of which: acetoacetate and ß-hydroxybutyrate can be used as energy by the body and the third acetone which can’t be used by the body and is excreted in the urine, and also through the process of breathing (hence the bad breath). Glycogen is a branched chain of glucose molecules made by and stored in the liver and also stored in the muscle cells to provide the body with an energy source that can be used quickly. Glycogen is stored in the muscle in a one to three ratio, 1g of glycogen to 3g of Water. The approximate amount of glycogen the body can hold is said to be 50-100g in the liver and 400g in the muscle cell. Based on holding 400g of glycogen in the muscle we can estimate that 400g would hold with it 1200g of water. Combined would give 1600g + the additional glycogen in the liver would amount to 1700g (1.7kg or nearly 4lb). When you started your VLCD your body had to use up all of your carbohydrate from the bloodstream as well as all of the glycogen stored in the liver and muscle, which we now know could account to around 4lb in weight loss that is not fat. So, when you come off any VLCD programme that involves ketosis you can expect to regain this 4lb of weight because as soon as you start to eat carbohydrates they will convert to glycogen and be stored back into the muscle along with the water. Remember 1g of glycogen stores in the muscle with 3g of water. After long periods of ketosis your body can also ‘supercompensate’ the reloading of carbohydrates and take in more than your body needs. Super compensation would be a temporary phase and would regulate itself within a couple of days at most but initially could account for an extra 2lb in glycogen/water weight gain. So remembering that this weight you will regain is not fat weight! You can allow yourself not to be concerned about gaining approximately 4-6lb in the first week of re-feeding. If you gain more than 4lb this would generally be lost within the next week naturally. The glycogen and water weight you regain has a positive effect on the metabolism due to occupying muscle cell area an increasing the amount of calories your body burns each day, so this weight gain is certainly a healthy one! So hopefully you are now not afraid of gaining a few pounds once you come off your VLCD. If the weight on the scales is more important than how you look in the mirror, then we suggest you lose around 4 to 6lb more than your intended goal weight, this will allow you to still be at goal weight once re-feeding is complete.
