I keep hearing that many diets cause you to lose water weight and muscle mass—I want to lose actual fat. What do you suggest?
An easy way to prime the body to burn fat more efficiently is to include lecithin in your diet. This active ingredient used in the Fat Flush Weight Loss Formula, stimulates the production of bile–a fluid that breaks down fatty deposits in the liver so they can be easily eliminated from the body. You can also stir in 2 Tbs. of non-GMO lecithin granules to your morning smoothie or glass of juice daily. When the liver is clear of excess fat, it’s able to metabolize fat stores in problem spots like the belly, hips and thighs. This mildly nutty powder is so effective, in fact, that some of my clients have shed up to 6 pounds of stubborn fat—not in water weight or muscle mass—in two weeks without diet or exercise.
Another boon: Lecithin helps emulsify harmful fats in the blood and flush them from the body. This effect helped me lower my own cholesterol levels by 20 points in just six weeks!
How does sunflower lecithin help the thyroid? I saw you on know the cause with Doug Kaufman some months ago, but I don’t remember how this worked for the thyroid.
Team ALG here.Lecithin is an ingredient in bile that has detergent like qualities. Taking sunflower lecithin daily assures you will have free-flowing bile. This will help decongest the liver. You want healthy bile flow because the release of bile triggers the release of an enzyme that converts T4 to T3. This is the process that allows metabolism to take place in the body.
A few years back I was taking 1 Tbsp Sunflower lecithin daily (*not soy) for excruciating gallbladder/bile/stone attacks. It proved to be very effective. Then I stopped and forgot about it. Until I read about its ability to help reverse non alcoholic Fatty Liver, as well as weight loss. So I started it again. The protocol is 1-2 Tbsp daily for the next 4-6 months, and then my liver retested. I add it to my boiling hot tea/coffee/water/soup to dissolve thoroughly (a personal blender to fully emulsifies it). Simply have one in the morning and another in the evening. This highly beneficial liver/gallbladder supplement is incredibly easy to add to your routine.
If not wanting to use soy, is egg lecithin just as effective? are there any side effects of using lecithin?
Hi D –
Egg lecithin is just as effective. There are no well-documented side effects or adverse reactions when taking lecithin.
I have sunflower lechitin liquid capsules which are 1200mg each, how many would I use in place of 1 Tbs of granules in the metabolizer cocktail?
Melissa, each tablespoon of sunflower lecithin granules is 7500 mg. so you would need 6-7 capsules (6.25 capsules to be exact) to replace the tablespoon.
So, you recommend 15,000 mg?
Laura, Yes, that’s right, when hyou take 2 Tbs. of the lecithin granules you do get 15,000 mg.
Been using the sunflower lecithin over a week now as directed. Stools are very large and hard. Would that be the result of cleaning out the liver? What other side effects would I look for after using this?how long should I continue using it? I feel ok. Also, have been. Thyroid medication of over twenty yr.,hypothyroidism. Almost 77 yr. old in good health.
Sherri, That could be the result of liver clean out. Usually there aren’t side effects from using sunflower lecithin. There’s not time limit.You can stay on this as long as you want to use it. Team ALG
My Gallbladder was removed 23 yrs. ago because of symptoms of NAUSEA & Upper Rt Side Pressure & slight pain. There were NO Stones. After, the Symptoms INCREASED 80 Fold. I am Extremely NAUSEATED & systemically sick every day. All symptoms increase after almost any meal but are present Day & Night. I eat very healthy & look healthy but feel SO VERY sick & with waves of Nausea & Spooky Depression with Anxiety. So much pressure front through back under right side under ribs & back flank pressure & pain. Quality of my daily life is horrible. Completely disabled by the Nausea, etc. I feel poisoned. No one is poisoning me. I was in the ER, 2 weeks ago. CT Scans & X-rays & Bloodwork reveal nothing abnormal. I have daily bowel movements, yet always feel constipated. I am only 10 or so Lbs over weight. PLEASE any suggestions. Extreme pressure both front through to back in right side. Causes Depression & Anxiety/Panic.

Hi, Nancy. It looks like this thread is not being checked by the owner on a daily basis. You could have a blocked bile duct. Dr. Berg on YouTube recommends taking Bile Salts. I was having a problem with pain and pressure the last few days. Something that has flared up in the past. So instead of going to the mainstream doctors for this problem, I tried to see what I could come up with myself. Dr. Berg recommended the bile salts in a video. Within an hour of taking it, the pressure and most of the pain was relieved. I also took a sunflower lecithin capsule a half an hour later. Hopefully, this will help. My son-in-law gets a blocked duct occasionally going into his liver and is in excruciating pain from that. He ends up getting a stent. Anyway, I hope this has helped you!!
