Dear Dr.  Ettinger,

I wanted to thank you for you and your wife’s guidance through my weight-loss with Ultra-Lite.

I had spent more than 20 years well over 200 pounds and had tried other programs with limited results, unable to successfully lose over 30 pounds.  Ultra-Lite was the first program that I could maintain focus, eat real food (no processed foods), while losing weight. No loss of skin tone (wrinkles) and I actually ended up looking younger.

Your weekly guidance and check-ins were essential for me because I had decided not see any of my losses during weigh-ins (did not look at the scale and I did not want to know how much I was losing).  I was told weekly that I had great weight-loss but never the exact amount.  Having my measurements taken was important also because I knew I was losing inches, but I didn’t need to know the specifics. Sometimes my inches lost was greater than a weight loss. Others on the program, I am sure need to use the specific, weight-loss, information for motivation and they will get it. But for me, I would have just played around with the numbers and try to get away with cheating if I had known my exact weight-loss.  For me, not knowing my exact weight-loss enabled me to focus on just staying on program.

After a few weeks the healthy eating resulted in more energy with, of course, my cholesterol, blood pressure and sugar levels going down.  I lost 65 pounds in a matter of 7 months. Getting rid of all the size 20-24 clothes was so rewarding and now living a healthy lifestyle is very satisfying.

Thank you again,

M.D.

The Ultra Lite weight-loss/diabetes reversal program is different from the vast majority of other weight-loss programs on the market today – it’s not just a quick fix. The Ultra Lite program is a long-term weight stabilizer that will re-train your body to limit the cravings for food, especially carbohydrates (breads, sugar, etc…).

According to Body4Me.com, when using the Ultra Lite program, you learn to live a healthier life, as the program emphasizes healthier eating and exercise as opposed to potentially risky weight loss pills and meal replacement methods. Another reason that the program has received good reviews is that it is effective for both men and women. The program not only teaches participants to following a healthier lifestyle, it’s also tailored to fit each person differently. Other weight loss programs are not individualized, as the Ultra Lite program is, and often have different results for different people.

*The average client on the Ultra Lite program can expect to lose an average of 2.5-3.0 pounds per week, over a typical 10 week program, with an average of 2.0-2.5 pounds thereafter.  The average client who enrolls on the Ultra Lite program needs to lose between 25 and 35 lbs. Clients have lost as much as 100 pounds following this program. A common by-product of following the Ultra Lite program is: blood sugar, cholesterol and triglyceride normalization, as is clearer and more vibrant skin, sharper memory, and renewed energy.

*Based on clinical observation of clients on the Ultra Lite Program at my office in Orange, CA.

Whether your goal is to lose weight, detoxify and cleanse your body, or address a serious health concern, our TLC – Ultra Lite Program provides you with the exact tools, science and support you need to implement and stick to your new lifestyle changes.

What is the TLC – Ultra Lite Program?

Dietary modifications, a personalized exercise program, targeted nutritional supplements…. These and other Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC – Ultra Lite) will help you take control of your health, and look and feel better than you have in years.

Most of our chronic health challenges, such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease, are caused in large part by our everyday behaviors — what we eat, our activity level, and how we handle stress. And although you probably know what you should be doing in each of these areas, knowledge isn’t enough. Old habits die hard, and changing the way you’ve done things for years is no easy task.

That’s where TLC – Ultra Lite, comes in. Whether your goal is to lose weight, detoxify and cleanse your body, or address a serious health concern, the TLC – Ultra Lite Program provides you with the tools and, perhaps most important, the medical support you need to implement and stick with lifestyle changes.

How Does TLC – Ultra Lite Program Work?

Have you tried every diet in the book yet you’re still unable to achieve permanent weight loss? You may well have some underlying issues that need to be addressed, and that’s where our program differs from other programs. Dr. Ettinger and his staff will look for undiscovered medical conditions that may have made it difficult for you to lose weight in the past.

We’ll start by testing your thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, and other blood markers that can have significant effects on weight and energy level. And because many medications are linked with weight gain, we’ll evaluate your drug regimen. We’ll also rule out sleep apnea, acid/alkaline balance and other health challenges that can contribute to weight problems.

Diagnosing and correcting these underlying factors will not only facilitate weight loss but also make a significant difference in how you feel today and for years to come.

Not a Diet but a Lifestyle Change

Next, you’ll spend time with your certified TLC – Ultra Lite educator (coach), who will become your greatest ally on the road to wellness. You’ll work together to identify specific problems and get started on your personalized program.  Your personal educator will also provide you with a workbook and handouts with recipes, menu suggestions, and tips for staying on track.

Targeted nutritional supplements, medical foods, and, of course, exercise, are other integral parts of the program. These components not only help you reach your goals faster but also encourage overall health and well being. Your TLC –Ultra Lite educator will help you get started on these aspects of the program as well.

Your TLC – Ultra Lite Educator: Your Partner in Health

Support and follow up is of utmost importance, especially during the initial stages of the TLC – Ultra Lite program, and your personal educator will be there for you every step of the way. You will have regularly scheduled appointments with your TLC – Ultra Lite educator to monitor your progress and provide further instruction and inspiration.

In addition to checking your weight, we will also periodically test your body composition, or ratio of fat to lean body mass. This is a far more important indicator of health than weight alone. Anybody can go on a calorie-restricted diet and lose pounds, but the real goal is to spare lean muscle mass, lose fat and keep it off. The improvements you’ll see in your body composition will motivate and assure you that you are truly making significant enhancements in your health.

Four Important Facts Everyone Should Know about Weight-Loss:

This is an example of the Ultra-Lite Program, male portion lunch (2 blocks protein and 10 blocks carbohydrates). Reduce by 1 egg and 30 grams of ham for female lunch portion (1 block protein and 10 blocks carbohydrates).

Ingredients:

1. 2 eggs – whipped (1 protein block)
2. Ham – 60 grams – cubed (1 protein block)
3. Mushrooms – 70 grams – diced (3 blocks carbohydrates)
4. Baby spinach – 70 grams – whole leaf (4 blocks carbohydrates)
5. Jalapeno – 1 pod (1 block carbohydrate)
6. Cilantro – 15 grams – roughly chopped (1/2 block carbohydrate)
7. No sugar added salsa – 2 Tbsp – (1.5 block carbohydrates)
8. Extra virgin olive oil – 1 Tsp

Heat-up olive oil in a non-stick skillet and add all ingredients. Saute until mushrooms and spinach are to your desired level of doneness.  If there is to much water in the pan, move mixture to the back of the pan, tilt forward and use a paper towel to absorbs liquid. Note: eggs won’t set properly if there is too much liquid. At this point add in eggs.

Let the eggs set for at least 6o seconds. Slowly fold the eggs over with a silicone spatula. When the  scramble reaches your desired doneness, plate and add salsa. Salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!

Dr. Marcus Ettinger – weight-loss, pre‐diabetes and diabetes reversal program

Orange County Weight loss – The UltraLite program is designed to aid those looking for help with weight‐loss, pre‐diabetes and/or diabetes reversal. Unlike the majority of other weight-loss programs, all of the food you will be eating are readily available and are most likely already in your pantry and refrigerator.  There is absolutely no need or requirement to buy any special foods. for this weight-loss program. The best part of following the UltraLite program is that you can even prepare the same meals, you eat, for the rest of your family – weight-loss and a happy, health family too. The UltraLite meal plan stresses a proper balance of high quality, lean proteins, vegetables, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and essential fatty acids.

The UltraLite (weight‐loss, pre‐diabetes and diabetes reversal) program is based on a protein (muscle, internal organ, and immune system) sparing, modified diet that promises to never leave you feeling hungry, is completely safe, and is easily maintainable ‐ for life. The UltraLite meal plan is designed to promote body fat loss while maintaining lean muscle mass and healthy body tissues. Those in the know, like myself, understand that your metabolism is unique to you and one diet does not work for everyone. Your personal program is monitored daily through a simple at home method. Using simple and tested guidelines, weight management is structured, safe, and most of all, consistent. Your results will be easy to see on the scale and in your weekly measurements, done at our office.

In fact, the results will speak for themselves. In the first week, those on the UltraLite (weight-loss, pre-diabetes  and diabetes reversal) program have lost between 4 to 10 pounds. 2 to 6 pounds should be lost every week thereafter. In fact, utilizing a simple morning urine test, every day, enables you to see, in less than 20 seconds, if you are burning body fat and losing weight. A positive test means your body has achieved a mild state of ketosis1, which is a very good thing and a substantial motivator to stay faithful on the program. Being in ketosis validates that the UltraLite (weight‐loss, pre‐diabetes and diabetes reversal) program is working and that you are in a state of losing body fat, another very good thing.

Because the UltraLite meal plan is nutritionally balanced, your muscle tone should improve as you lose body fat and weight. Most people, including myself report feeling fabulous (follow my ongoing, UltraLite journey here). As a matter of fact I have never felt better than when I am in ketosis, mentally and physically! Exercise is not mandatory to lose weight but it is mandatory to maintain and/or build muscle tone, strength and definition. The type of exercise you choose is totally up to you, but I personally recommend a combination or cardio and weight training.

1 Ketosis in this context is where you burn fat for energy rather than sugar [glucose] or protein

The initial phase of the UltraLite (weight-loss, pre‐diabetes and diabetes reversal) program begins with an initial 4 page questionnaire (fill one out today) followed by a comprehensive one hour, private consultation. During this visit you will also receive a professional digital kitchen scale, ketone test strips, 5 weeks of supplements packets, an in depth UltraLite program manual, private access to my UltraLite website and weekly health oriented e‐mail bulletins. From there a 5 to 10 week program using the dietary concepts, specific supplements, home monitoring and weekly in office, private follow‐ups are included (initial consultation will determine program duration).

The supplement packets: are an organic whole food concentrate, which ensures adequate daily mineral, vitamins and carbohydrates. Packets are taken four times a day, and are designed to minimize hunger, promote detoxification and aid in fat‐loss. As you work toward your goal‐weight, adjustments may be made to enhance active weight‐loss while developing a personalized strategy for permanent stabilization of your weight.

Once you reach your goal‐weight, you will be placed on a well‐balanced maintenance program, with periodic check‐ups, to help insure you maintain all the wonderful gains you will have achieved.

The UltraLite (weight-loss, pre-diabetes and diabetes reversal) program is very simple, extremely safe, competitively priced, overseen by myself and my wife, Stephaine, a certified personal trainer and fitness expert. As an added level of confidence, the UltraLite (weight-loss, pre‐diabetes and diabetes reversal) has given over 1,000,000 people a new life to enjoy, by teaching them to think about how they are eating and apply these principles to their food choices and portion sizes.

Although being overweight increases the risk of developing many other health problems, its treatment is often not a covered medical expense and we do not accept insurance assignment for any part of the UltraLite (weight-loss, pre-diabetes/diabetes reversal) program. Logically, it would make scene that insurance companies would want to help because those who lose excess weight report improvement in tiredness, stress, anxiety, depression, irritable bowel disorders, insomnia, aching joints, headaches, diabetes, elevated cholesterol and lack of motivation.

Call us at (714-639-4360) or e‐mail Stephanie (uliteoc@hotmail.com) to get the details, answer questions, and be sure you’re a good candidate for the UltraLite (weight-loss, pre-diabetes and diabetes reversal) program.

I am issuing the following call to action.  As most of you know I am extremely passionate about diet, nutrition and exercise.  The lack of proper diet and exercise in our society is a full-blown epidemic and it’s killing you, your children, your friends and co-workers – way before their time.  I am asking everyone who reads this  post to please watch Jamie Olivers 2010, award winning, Technology-Entertainment-Design (TED) video and if you can, watch his TV series, Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, that starts tonight on ABC.  The video is just twenty minutes out of one’s life and may add years to the lives of those that are positively affected by it.

I truly believe it’s never too late to learn something new and it’s also never too late to make a change in your life.  Eating properly is not a time-consuming chore, it’s not difficult and it’s not expensive.

You have all the time in the world, you have all the money you need to buy healthy food, you want to live a long and healthy life and you want the best for your children. I know for a fact that this is true. Remember “Thoughts Become Things” and action is all that’s needed to make these thoughts become reality. Please, just do it!

If after watching the video you have any questions or need help implementing any of  Jamie’s ideas, I am here for you and I want to help.

Sincerely,

Dr. Marcus Ettinger – www.advancedhealing.com

I am six days into my maintenance phase, and for the last three I have added two, six ounces glasses of red wine a day. The reason for this is that I have not had any wine this past month and I am going on a three day wine tasting trip, next weekend.  I really don’t want to be passed-out after the first hour, so I need to build-back a little tolerance to alcohol.

The great thing about being a biochemist/doctor is the fact that I can use modern chemistry, anatomy and physiology to my advantage. This advantage not only helped me, but every client I put on this program.

Here is where chemistry comes in. Bringing the body into ketosis or maintaining ketosis is only possible if the level of carbohydrates, proteins and fats ingested, being converted into glucose (blood sugar), stays below a certain threshold.  I have been in ketosis for a little over five weeks now.  The fact that I have stayed in ketosis even though I have had two glasses of wine the past three nights, proves that my body, especially my brain, is requiring more glucose (blood sugar) than I am providing it, through my food and beverage intake. My increased exercise, cardio and weight training, level has kept by body liberating fat, supplying ketone bodies, to compensate for the low blood glucose, even though there is the addition of the increased daily carbohydrate intake from the wine.

My energy level and clarity of thought is still the same.

I have also converted back to my morning breakfast shake, which I have had as my daily breakfast for years.

Whey Protein Isolate (ISO 100) – 1 Scoop

Low Glycemic Lettuce Wraps

Low Fat Mayonnaise – 1 Tbsp
Habanero Hot Sauce – to taste
Extra Virgin Olive Oil – 1 Tsp
Sea Salt
Pepper

PREPARATION:

1.  Chop up mushrooms, jalapeno (keep both separate), tomato, avocado and cilantro.

2.  In a small bowl combine low fat mayonnaise and habanero hot sauce.

3.  In a non-stick pan add 1 tsp EVOO, mushrooms, jalapeno and ground turkey.  Saute until cooked.  Add sea salt and ground pepper to taste.

The wild part of this is that I am just a few pounds shy of what I weighed my senior year of high school.  The difference though is that the weight is more muscle than fat.
