The ICC Weight Loss Program

We've all been there: "gone on a diet" and automatically have decreased calories and increased activity. But then the cravings get to us, caloric intake increases, activity decreases and the scale is no longer our friend. We have prayed for a "magic pill" that will melt away the excess pounds, tried fad diets, and some have even considered surgical procedures to lose weight.

NOW... Research has shown that stimulating specific specific energy points can curb the appetite, depress hunger cravings, reduce excess water, stimulate the metabolism to burn off extra calories and correct the internal body imbalances. When our laser treatments are combined with an overall nutritional & exercise plan, the pounds and excess body fat are dramatically reduced. The results are lasting and permanent. There are no pills, drugs or special foods to buy! The laser promotes faster fat burning and weight loss while improving your will power. You will feel great and look great!

Laser Meridian Therapy has been shown to have the following beneficial effects
with weight loss:

• Stimulates the production of endorphins, which are the body's feel good chemicals.
  Endorphins have a calming effect and help to reduce cravings for high carbohydrate foods.
• Stimulates the metabolic rate allowing people to burn off weight twice as fast
  as they normally would.
• Decreases appetite.
• Suppresses your hunger cravings.
• Lowers body mass (weight).
• Decreases adipose tissue (body fat).
• Lowers and helps normalize lipid levels in the blood.
• Decreases menopausal weight gain.

Combined with a healthy lifestyle and a few guidelines about nutrition and food intake, you will discover that one and only wonderful You that you have been trying to find!
