Natural dietary supplement supports healthy Serotonin levels, reduces
craving for “junk-food carbs” that makes the body store fat.

DALLAS, TX (August 30, 2004) — Calling all low-Carb dieters: you’re on the right track but you’re taking the wrong train. Fortunately, a Texas-based company called Nutrico has developed a fat-loss dietary supplement, Serofil™, that not only puts you on the right train, but plants you in the best seat, too. And the conductor, company founder Gary Kaposta, is a man on a mission.

Kaposta has specifically targeted obesity, the U.S.’ leading health problem. In 2003, 368,000 Americans died of obesity-related illnesses caused primarily by the adverse effects of junk-food carbohydrates on wellness.

Based on exhaustive analysis using an ever-increasing body of research, Nutrico created Serofil™ to support healthy levels of a key, naturally-produced hormone called Serotonin, our body’s primary obesity control mechanism that regulates carbohydrate cravings.

According to Kaposta, the current low-carb craze is just as misguided as the low-fat fad that took root in America during the early 1980s. “Eating fat doesn’t make you fat,” says Kaposta. “But eating junk-food carbohydrates does make you fat.” Epidemic weight gains, obesity and the reduction of fat in the diet are closely linked, according Kaposta. “Many people have reduced their protein intake, in the form of foods such as eggs, meats, and so on, in order to reduce fat in their diet.”

Many of these protein foods contain a valuable amino acid that is the raw material the body needs to maintain healthy levels of Serotonin . Instead, adds Kaposta, “eliminating junk-food carbohydrates (chips, bagels, sodas, sweets, pastries, white bread, pasta, and so on) from one’s diet is the real key to reducing excess body fat and improving overall health. Taking Serofil™ on a daily basis is the smart and efficient way to bring Serotonin back to healthy levels and to reduce junk-food carbohydrate cravings.”

“The current common wisdom among the health and wellness community is that diets usually focus on weight loss, when they should be focusing on fat loss, instead,” Kaposta says. “Too often, dieters lose water, muscle and other valuable tissue in their attempts to ‘lose weight.’ That is not a healthy approach,” he observes.

“During the past 12 to 18 months, the American news media has been reporting that obesity, especially among women and children, is our nation’s number-one health problem and has reached epidemic proportions,” notes Kaposta. “We (the USA) are the fattest nation in the world,” he adds.

Serotonin Depletion: A Common Malady

Kaposta observes that recent studies depict 80% of the U.S. population as suffering from depleted levels of Serotonin . “A record number of prescriptions were written last year for anti-depressants such as Paxil, Zoloft and so on, not only for adults but also for children,” he says.

“Low levels of Serotonin contribute to depression and a relentless craving for carbohydrates,” notes Kaposta. “These depleted levels of Serotonin are often the result of three modern lifestyle factors: stress, poor nutrition in the form of junk food, and lack of deep, restorative sleep. “When Serotonin drops below a certain level, you will experience serious cravings for junk food carbohydrates,” he states.

“Overweight people with low levels of Serotonin feel compelled to eat even more. They crave carbohydrates, especially junk-food carbs,” he says. According to Kaposta, once the carbohydrate “fix” has set in, Serotonin levels rise and we feel better again, albeit temporarily.

“When you consume junk food, it signals the brain to produce a burst of Serotonin. This feel-good hormone provides you with a temporary sense of well being and, thus, it is often referred to as mood food, comfort food, or emotional eating,” states Kaposta.

Unfortunately, the price one pays for this short-term fix is the overproduction of the fat-storing hormone Insulin, the garage door opener to the fat cells. “One can eat fat all day long and it will never be stored as excess body fat because it does not cause the body to overproduce Insulin,” Kaposta observes.

Why We Do What We Do

“Many people turn to food for reasons other than physical hunger,” states Kaposta. “Do you ever find yourself sitting on the sofa with a chocolate candy bar when you are feeling stressed, bored, or just lonely? Do you find that you get cravings for certain foods, such as cookies, bread or pastries, even when you are not hungry?” he asks. “Of course you have.”

“What we do not realize is that these cravings could be due to a significant drop in the levels of Serotonin in the brain, according to Kaposta. “We put this down to a lack of discipline, we get down on ourselves, and then we eat even more to feel better again. We should acknowledge that our bodies are seeking Serotonin.”

Through a new 30-minute infomercial and a regionally-targeted public information campaign, Kaposta hopes to educate prospective customers — which, in theory, should include most Americans — to the ways and means of fat loss, through use of Serofil™.

“The idea is that, once they’ve restored healthy levels of Serotonin, Serofil™ users should also have modified their food intake, from ‘junk,’ processed sugar and high-fructose corn syrup-laden food products, to eating more whole foods, especially fruits and vegetables,” states Kaposta. Adding, “Together with Serofil™, this can result in significant fat loss, and will help keep that fat off.”
