the U.S. were actively trying to lose weight

STARTING ON THE RIGHT FOOT
Statistics show there are literally millions of overweight and
obese Americans, and a sizable percentage of them are actively
trying to lose weight. Most try -- and abandon -- 3 or 4 diets
each year. Yet even as we seem to diet more, obesity figures continue
to rise. Those of us who have been on countless diets in our lifetimes
understand quite fully the desire for weight loss success that
is dampened by our experience of almost constant failure. Naturally,
this results in a large number of under-motivated dieters who set
themselves up over and over again for the vicious cycle of diet
failure and the associated problems of negative self-esteem and
poor body image.
There's
no secret formula for diet success, but improving morale and
motivation certainly is a step in the right direction. Losing
weight quickly at the beginning of a diet plan can offer the spark
we need to ignite our motivation to stick to a weight loss program.
While many may self-deprecatingly refer to this initial weight
loss as mere "water weight," we all know inside that
whatever kind of weight it is, losing it makes us feel better,
lighter, and healthier.
STARTING WITH A CLEAN SLATE
Jump-starting your effective weight loss and management program
means getting your body ready for the work that lies ahead. Just
as athletes prepare their bodies to perform optimally, so must
the person who wants to achieve healthy success with a weight loss
program. A diuretic cleansing program at the start of such a program
helps clear the body of excess toxins and primes the metabolic
switches that will get the program started in high gear.
Diuretics are substances that promote elimination of fluids from
the body. This not only flushes out toxins that have built up,
but also helps start flushing fat from the adipocytes (fat cells).
They cause the kidneys to participate more in detoxification processes,
which frees up the liver to focus more on its metabolic regulating
activities. Diuretics are thus helpful in invigorating a sluggish
metabolism. As the metabolism revs up, all the body systems speed
up, more calories are burned in exercise and everyday living activities,
and weight loss becomes much more efficient.

TAKING THE FIRST STEP
The overall diuretic and tonic effects of Ameri-Start make it
an ideal product to get your journey to a healthier weight off
to a good start. As an important piece of the Reshape America program,
the ingredients in Ameri-Start help prepare your body for successful
weight management.
Here are the directions for use: Take 1 capsule 3 times per day,
with 8 oz. of pure, clean water. You will exhaust your supply in
10 days. Continue with the other Reshape America products. You
can only get this product in the Reshape America kit, since you
should only take 1 course per month.
Let's take a look at the ingredients:
Parsley Seed
Although it's probably best known as the uneaten garnish on many
a restaurant plate, parsley has been used in classical folk medicine
for more than 2000 years. Some of parsley's benefits to the body
include its function as a diuretic (eliminating excess water) and
a carminative (easing flatulence and stimulating digestion). Parsley
has also been shown to tone the urinary tract, help with painful
menstruation, lower blood pressure, improve asthma, allergies,
and bronchitis by drying excess mucous, and provide general detoxification.
Parsley seed is a rich source of vitamin C, calcium, iron, riboflavin,
potassium, thiamin, vitamin A, and trace amounts of niacin. It
also contains chlorophyll, magnesium, and calcium.
Dandelion Root
Dandelion root is a bitter herb that helps nourish the urinary
tract and liver, and has significant diuretic activity. It's a
rich source of potassium (which means it doesn't deplete the body
of this essential nutrient because of its diuretic effect) and
contains vitamins A, B, and C, iron, phosphorous, and sodium. It
has been used for centuries to purify the blood and flush toxins
from the body. It is anti-inflammatory, mildly laxative, and it
stimulates blood circulation.
The unique bitter compounds in dandelion root -- sesquiterpene
lactones -- help stimulate digestion. They increase bile production
in the gall bladder and bile flow from the liver, which helps improve
fat metabolism.
Cornsilk
The health benefits derived from this part of the ear of corn
we usually throw away with the husk are numerous. It eases irritation
of the urinary system, acts as a mild diuretic, helps reduce hypertension
and blood clotting time, and helps stimulate bile production. It
also reduces sediments in the kidneys, and helps with cystitis
and prostate problems. Cornsilk's capacity to aid the body in eliminating
toxins helps relieve gout and arthritis. It contains iron, silica,
potassium, vitamins B, C, and K, zinc, calcium, magnesium, and
phosphorus.
Uva Ursi (Bearberry)
Uva ursi has been used for years in folk medicine to relieve
nephritis, kidney stones, and chronic cystitis. Due to its high
concentration of arbutin (an antiseptic phenolic glycoside), uva
ursi neutralizes the acidity of urine, and increases urine flow,
which reduces bloating and water retention. It is a good herbal
tonic for general urinary tract health.
Burdock Root
One of the foremost cleansing herbs, burdock root has been traditionally
used through the centuries as a blood purifier. Its bitter constituents
help improve digestion, and its natural sugars help regulate blood
sugar metabolism. Burdock root is rich in vitamins B-1, B-6, B-12,
and E, as well as manganese, copper, iron, zinc, and sulfur. It
is also a good fiber source, with high amounts of inulin and mucilage.
Hydrangea
A good general tonic and diuretic, hydrangea aids the body in
expelling excess fluid and eliminating toxins. It is rich in chromium,
which helps maintain proper blood sugar levels and circulatory
health. Hydrangea's high silicon content assists in maintaining
flexible arteries.
Juniper Berry
Although you may not know it, the same berry that gives the flavor
to gin and other alcoholic beverages is also used to flavor sauerkraut
in Germany. Juniper berry is a great support for healthy kidney
and urinary tract function. It's a good diuretic that does not
cause the body to lose important electrolytes. It helps clear uric
acid from the body and improves digestion.
Lecithin (Phosphatidyl Choline)
When it comes to the healthy metabolism of fat, the choline in
lecithin is a huge ally. It not only preserves cell membrane integrity,
but it also facilitates lipotransport -- the movement of fats in
and out of cells. Choline actually helps the body burn fat, and
as it increases fat metabolism, it helps lower blood cholesterol.
But the
essential nutrient choline has another claim to fame. It is referred
to as "the memory vitamin." It's an important
part of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. So, in addition to
helping improve fat metabolism, it improves memory and brain function
along the way!
L-Carnitine HCl
Synthesized in the liver and kidneys, L-Carnitine HCl is a substance
that acts like both a vitamin and an amino acid. Its major function
is to facilitate fatty acid transport and help release the energy
from fat. Low calorie diets often result in the depletion of L-Carnitine
HCl, which reduces the body's effectiveness in utilizing energy
from fat. This, of course, impedes any attempt to lose body fat.
L-Carnitine HCl also nourishes and strengthens muscles, and supports
the circulatory system.

A GREAT BEGINNING
As the
ancient proverb says, "A journey of a thousand miles
begins with a single step." So it is with your journey toward
a healthier weight, and a healthier body and lifestyle. Ameri-Start
is that step. It is a proprietary blend of ingredients that cleanse
the body of toxins and flush out excess water, getting your body
in great shape to begin a weight loss program.
Remember to begin using Ameri-Start in conjunction with the other
products in the Reshape America kit. These products are designed
to work together to ensure your best possible success. Also, remember
to drink lots of clean, pure water while following the program.
Water purified by reverse osmosis is a good bet, and it's available
in grocery stores everywhere. The importance of water to your overall
success and good health cannot be overestimated. As you begin to
release fat from its storage in cells, water helps wash it right
out of your body.
