We want to help. If you have repeatedly tried various forms of the same old caloric restricted diets and failed, continuing the same approach will produce the same results. We will provide exciting new information about ways to lose weight that really work, but more importantly, show you how to keep it off. We will show you ways to tweak any dietary system to work better, and help you select a weight loss program ideal for your needs. We will also provide you with extensive nutritional insight to help you overcome a variety of nagging health problems. These exciting concepts were developed by our medical director, Dr. Dennis Remington, M.D. and his colleagues. (see his bio below). Sometimes the difference between success and failure is just a little extra motivation. We will provide extra motivation.
Money is perhaps the best motivator. Studies have shown that those who pay for a weight control system do much better than those who get it free. Those who pay more money do better than those who pay less. One of the most successful weight loss systems ever reported was a weight loss investor’s club. A group of individuals contributed a sum of money, which was wisely invested. Periodic meetings were held to divide up the equity. Those who kept the most weight off owned the biggest share of the pie. As the initial investment grew substantially, it became highly motivating to the club members to keep the weight off, and almost all of them were highly successful.
When you join Stropia's incentive program, you get all your money back for successful weight loss, and double your money if you keep it off! You can use any system of weight loss that you choose (except surgical procedures). We will provide you with the latest scientific research and techniques which should dramatically improve your success with permanent weight loss as well as provide help for various health-related issues.
As we put this program together, we wanted to make it affordable and good value. We also knew that you had to invest enough money that mattered to you, or it wouldn’t be adequate motivation to help you. We also knew that the program needed to last long enough to allow you to make permanent changes. So here is the deal. You send us $199 along with a form including your weight. We provide lots of useful information to you, and you choose whatever method of weight loss you desire. If you have lost 10% of your weight after 1 year, we send you $200, so you get all your money back. If you keep it off for 2 years, we send you another $200. So you double your investment in 2 years, guaranteed.! For example, if your initial weight is 150 pounds, all you have to lose is 15 pounds to be successful.
Below is a partial list of the topics you will have access to as a member of Stropia.
Weight Loss and Health Information
What is causing the ongoing obesity epidemic? Contrary to popular opinion, we do not believe that extra calories account for the problem.

We will show you what these problems are, and show you simple things that you can do to keep you and your family from gaining any more weight. If you don’t correct the underlying cause of the weight gain, you won’t be successful.
What factors contribute to weight gain? How much fat your body stores appears to be a closely regulated process. Just like your body temperature, blood pressure, and oxygen concentration are regulated, there are control centers in your brain which closely regulate your fat stores. These control centers appear to be starvation defenses, and have served our ancestors well in times of food shortage. We know a lot of factors which seem to influence these regulatory centers (which we like to call the fat thermostat). We will teach you the things we know about these centers so that your efforts for weight loss will be more effective. We will also show you a number of other factors involved in weight gain - factors which are important to know if you hope to be successful.

We think that this is the key to successful weight control. In our book, How To Lower Your Fat Thermostat, we use the following parable. “The Wind and the Sun had an argument as to who was the stronger. They decided on a contest to settle the issue. The one who could remove the coat from the traveller walking the road below would be the winner. The Wind tried first. The initial blast almost stripped the coat from the traveller, but he managed to hang onto it and wrap it more securely around himself. As the Wind blew more fiercely, the traveller clutched the coat more firmly to his body and the Wind finally gave up. Taking his turn, the Sun increased his heat. The traveller, becoming hotter and hotter, sensed that the coat was excessive for his needs and took it off.” Many calorie-restricted systems are like the wind, with some initial success, but the body fights hard to resist further loss. We will show the “sunshine system” of weight loss, in which the body willingly gives up extra fat and happily keeps it off.

You can make experimental animals become insulin resistant, and even diabetic by depriving them of a particular nutrient.
