I used to work for a company that used Ayurvedic powders, but only for the hair and skin. To be honest, my hair didn't really like any of the herbs, but my skin loves amla.

" Integrative neurologist Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary discovered a beautiful side effect to the eating and lifestyle tools she gave her brain patients--spontaneously shedding excess pounds. In this, her first book, she shows us how to sharpen the brain, and smarten and heal the gut. Weight gain is not about the food, but about the body’s environment. Excess weight is a result of the body being in a toxic, inflammatory state. If your body is not prepared or ‘primed’ for weight loss, you will fight an uphill biochemical battle. Her program is not about what you can't have or do, it's about adding simple teas and herbs, and succeeding without giving up any foods you love. With The Prime, Dr. Chaudhary has reverse engineered our way of eating, so we can stop dieting backward and start losing weight instead. You'll learn:"

Idiocy

And money spinner

I'm sorry, topic creator, but the bolded in Seud0nim's post which was taken from the webpage IS absolutely wooderp.

1. Excess weight is NOT a result of the body being toxic. Excess weight is the result of eating more calories than you need to maintain your current weight. How can the body even be toxic? We have liver, kidneys, lungs, skin and bladders... our own body's detoxing organs. If we truly need a detox, something is seriously wrong (need to go to the emergency room ASAP!) or we've been taking lots of drugs and alcohol (the only reason why someone with functioning organs would need a detox). Anyone, yes anyone, can lose weight if they decrease their calories, you just have to be accurate (count calories and weigh your food before you log it. Many here have lost up to 100lbs or more just by eating less calories than they need.
2. Teas and herbs do not detox. There is absolutely *no* scientific evidence to back up what this doctor writes.
3. You have to buy a book that may not even work. You don't have to pay for myfitnesspal.
4. Integrative neurology isn't even a university full time course. It is alternative medicine.
5. There are no links to the 'studies' the author participated in on her website
6. Claims to heal chronic diseases.
7. You have to buy the herbs and teas from their 'favourite' company
8. "We do not offer refunds once you’re assigned to your group. By joining, you make a commitment to yourself and your team members. Deep detoxification has ups and downs. We invite you to commit to the journey and be open to the changes as they come."
9. It believes there is "fake fat" and real fat. Yeah, okay.
10. "Irritability usually means you’re detoxing." No, Irritability means: too low calorie, caffeine withdrawal, drastic lowering of carbohydrate.
11. "You’re mobilizing toxins, called ama in Ayurveda, which is a sticky, sludge-like substance. It can stop you up a bit." No, the constipation is from a huge decrease of fat and fiber.
12. $300. What? You can buy a weeks worth of groceries for a family.



Ugh...no, just no.

That's 3 weeks worth of groceries for my family of 5 humans and 2 furballs
