When Your Body Gets the Blues

Succeeding at Weight Loss

The LEVITY program offers you a unique, effective, and clinically proven solution to overeating—normalizing your brain chemistry. By following the simple, three-step program, you will increase the chemicals that boost your energy and tame your appetite. Two of the most important slimming brain chemicals are "serotonin" and "dopamine."

How does the LEVITY Program help normalize your brain chemistry?

  1. Bright light has been proven to boost serotonin production, and serotonin is one of your body's main regulators of appetite. One study determined that simply getting an extra hour of natural light each day can reduce your food cravings—especially for carbs—in less than a week.1
  2. When you exercise at the pace recommended in the LEVITY Program—more than a stroll; less than a jog—you make more of the receptors that grab onto serotonin and make it available to your neurons. (Interestingly, exercising too vigorously can actually deplete your number of receptors.) As an added benefit, brisk walking helps burn unwanted calories.
  3. Finally, the ingredients in the LEVITY formula give your body the raw ingredients it needs to produce more serotonin, dopamine, and other appetite-suppressing substances.

As was true for the woman in our University of Washington study, participating in these three activities will help you eat less at meals, forgo snacks, and say "no" to dessert. Remarkably, 25 percent of the women in our study lost a noticeable amount of weight, even though we did not ask them to change their diets. Many women noticed a difference in their craving for carbohydrates within a few days.
