With Alyson Mead-WAKE UP TO YOUR WEIGHT LOSS is anything but an ordinary diet book. In fact, it has very little to do with counting calories, and nothing to do with the self-hatred too often found in books about weight issues.
WAKE UP TO YOUR WEIGHT LOSS is anything but an ordinary diet book. In fact, it has very little to do with counting calories, and nothing to do with the self-hatred too often found in books about weight issues. The author picks up where she left off with her first book, WAKE UP TO YOUR STORIES. Using meditation, follow up exercises and development of a personal storytelling practice, the author helps readers see where weight comes from, what it means, and how to start achieving the best body for them, by quieting the mind and curbing the reactivity that makes us eat.
Alyson is also an entrepreneur, and we have worked with her to release the Write It Off Club, an ongoing weight loss coaching community, which can be found at http://www.writeitoffclub.com. It is very motivational in tone, and uses positive reinforcement to help people change their minds and bodies together. Her work is entirely original and forward thinking.

I love chocolate! In fact I am a “Chocoholic”! There are days I dream of chocolate! I used to drool at the checkout counters! The temptation to grab that delicious candy bar was some days too hard to resist, I would give in and then feel guilty afterwards for ruining my hard work of eating right.
That was till I found Tru Chocolate! Back in April of 2009 I went to Boston to participate in the Health Fair and met Paul Pappetti! That day changed my life and my fight to eat right yet still have my chocolate!
Still to this day I cannot believe that I can have my chocolate and still be able to watch my weight, enjoy the health benefits that come from eating dark, delicious chocolate! The most wonderful thing when you eat a piece of Tru Chocolate is after wards when you go to drink a glass of water, the water tastes just like chocolate! You know you need to have at least 8 glasses of water a day, yet drinking plain ole water can get let’s face it BORING! However when you eat a wafer of Tru Chocolate and then drink your water, that water is gone in an instant because it tastes so good you can’t stop drinking it.
Plus Tru Chocolate is GOOD FOR YOU! It is not made from the by products of the cocoa bean but from Organic Cocoa Liquor! At the end of this page I will list to you all the wonderful ingredients!
Tru Chocolate™ may be the most healthy and tasty chocolate ever created. This delicious treat is ideal for the entire family; it’s a snack that can be enjoyed by everyone at any time. The benefits of eating Tru Chocolate are so tremendous that many call it, “Guilt Free Chocolate”. It tastes so good and is so good for you that it is beyond the normal chocolate experience.

Organic Cocoa Liquor: It’s produced by grinding the cocoa bean nib (center) to a smooth, liquid state. The Cocoa liqueur can then be cooled and molded into blocks.
Organic Cocoa Butter: Also called the obroma oil, is the edible natural fat of the cacao bean, extracted during the process of making chocolate and cocoa powder.
Xylitol: Xylitol is a white crystalline substance that looks and tastes like sugar. It is a popular sweetener for the diabetic diet. Xylitol is right here, inside, already. Our bodies produce up to 15grams of xylitol from other food sources using established energy pathways. Xylitol is not a strange or artificial substance, but a normal part of everyday metabolism.
Proprietary Herbal Formula containing:
Momordica Charantia: This herb grows all over the tropical zones of the world and has been used for centuries to combat various human ailments but to date has not been very effectively marketed. In a controlled study, individuals with blood sugar levels above 140 mg/dl had the most significant reductions in blood sugar levels, ranging from 28.40% to 37.69%.
Noni Fruit: The fruit of the Morinda Citrifolia, or noni, was an important food source for the early French Polynesians. These early settlers wasted none of this highly valued plant and used it for nearly every medicinal purpose you can imagine. It was treasured by these early cultures for its healing properties and nutritional value. Picked ripe and flash frozen. Hawaii and Japan used the fruit to contain fever outbreaks, the Philippines used Noni to treat arthritis, and the Malaysians heated the leaves to relieve nausea, coughs, and colic. Noni nearly unknown in the western world until 1996,is now being used worldwide because of its great health benefits.
Citrus Extract: A sweetener from botanical extract derived from the seeds, pulp, and inner rinds of certified organically grown citrus extracts do not contain wheat, rye, oats, corn, barley, gluten, starch, soy, egg, dairy, yeast, sulfates, chlorides, wax, preservatives, colorings, or artificial flavorings.
Ellagic Acid:
Supports and Promotes:
- Immune System Function
- Promotes Healthy Cell Production
- Promotes Healthy Cell Function
Noteworthy Facts:
- Ellagic Acid is in the Phenol Family and is Naturally found in healthy berries, and fruits
- Ellagic Acid is being studied more today than ever before and may hold tremendous promise in the Health and Wellness Field.
Green Tea Extract: In a study reported on in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, it was found that green tea extract resulted in a significant increase in energy expenditure (a measure of metabolism), plus also had a significant effect on fat oxidation. While some of the effects were originally theorized to be due to the caffeine content of green tea, the researchers discovered that the tea actually has properties that go beyond those that would be explained by the caffeine. The same amount of caffeine as was in the green tea, administered alone, failed to change energy expenditure in other studies. This led researchers to believe that there is some interaction going on with the active ingredients of green tea that promotes increased metabolism and fat oxidation. The researchers indicated that their findings have substantial implications for weight control. A 4% overall increase in 24-hour energy expenditure was attributed to the green tea extract, however, the research found that the extra expenditure took place during the daytime. This led them to conclude that, since thermo-genesis (the body’s own rate of burning calories) contributes 8-10% of daily energy expenditure in a typical subject, that this 4% overall increase in energy expenditure due to the green tea actually translated to a 35-43% increase in daytime thermo genesis.
Fabanol® Studies have shown Fabanol® to block sugar absorption.
Bioprene® A standardized extract from the fruit of Piper nigrum L (black pepper) or Piper longum L (long pepper). It contains 95 percent of piperine. Bioperine® may be co-administered with various nutrients for both human and animal health. Piperine, in the patented form of Bioperine®, enhances the body’s natural thermogenic activity. This enhancement may be explained as a means of increasing the thermal energy sufficient to “power up” the mechanism related to thermo genesis. This in turn results in increased metabolic processes that creates a “demand” for” supply” of a broad range of nutrients that contribute to metabolism, i.e. vitamins, minerals, herbals, amino acids, etc. It is as if Bioperine® activates a metabolic paddle wheel, of sorts, that selectively provides a more efficient mode of nutrient transportation into the blood.
Lectin: is a fat like substance called a phospholipid. It is produced daily by the liver if the diet is adequate. It is needed by every cell in the body and is a key building block of cell membranes; without it, they would harden.
Organic Lecithin: Protects cells from oxidation and largely comprises the protective sheaths surrounding the brain. It is composed mostly of B vitamins, phosphoric acid, choline, linoleic acid and inositol. Although it is a fatty substance, it is also a fat emulsifier. Hence, it supports the circulatory system. Its choline is useful for making acetylcholin.
The “magic” chocolate taste comes from three special ingredients:
1. Xylitol, a natural sweetener, helps create the long-lasting chocolate taste.
2. The Bioperine®, a patented phytonutrient and natural thermonutrient, is a derivative of black pepper and enhances the perception of taste.
3. The Fabenol®, a derivative of lentils, helps increase the sensation of sweetness. It is also a natural carbohydrate blocker!What are you waiting for! Start enjoying your chocolate again!
