Our healthy weight loss program has many elements to it. 

A signature component and a product I simply adore is our green, red and white tea also called “liquid ooomph”

The FDA prohibits nutritional companies from making medicinal claims regarding this incredibly valuable product, however if you do your research, you will discover that this is a tea that you will want to drink every single day due to the long list of benefits.

Here is the benefits of one nutrient element of green tea – Taurine:

*provides detoxifying properties

*provides antioxidant properties, and guards cellular tissue against toxic substances

*causes fat solubilization

*increases the production of bile in the liver (helps keep bile in a liquid state, and is less likely to form gallstones)

*critical for brain development – is used to treat anxiety, epilepsy, hyperactivity, poor brain function and seizures.

*critical for eye health … a deficiency causes retinal degeneration … adequate amounts of taurine reduce the risk of macular degeneration

*stabilizes cell membranes in electrically active tissues such as the brain & heart. In the heart it strengthens the heart muscle and helps stabilize arrhythmias by keeping potassium and magnesium inside the cells and keeping excess sodium out.

*helps regulate blood pressure and reduces serum cholesterol levels

*acts like a diuretic, without the side effects of pharmaceutical diuretics

*reduces symptoms of Type 1 or insulin-dependant diabetes by strengthening the beta cells in the pancreas

*helps people with cystic fibrosis to digest fats more successfully

*provides respiratory protection and is useful in the treatment of Asthma

EGCG is found in our 3-in-1 boost pill. It is the easy way of saying epigallocatechin gallate, a naturally occurring polyphenol

Found in green tea, EGCG has been shown in clinical studies to boost thermogenesis and boost metabolism.

EGCG helps burn calories and has been shown to promote fat oxidation (the burning of fat for energy).

Clinical studies for this ingredient were conducted using 270 mg of EGCG, the same amount that is provided in our 3-in-1 Boost

The most common question asked about EGCG  is — is it a caffeine ?

EGCG is not caffeine in that it’s not a stimulant. Green tea does contain naturally occurring caffeine, of which the dosage is much lower than one finds in a regular cup of coffee. My understanding is that naturally occurring caffeine releases very slowly into the blood stream.

thank you field communications for the above definition.

I love that our company has combined so many beneficial ingrediants all into one pill.

A multi-vitamin, something that regulates glucose – often needed in weight loss, and EGCG

The above picture and testimony won a prize of $500!! Yippeeee!

I personally feel weight loss is a chemistry project.

Update -  January 2010 – I am still losing weight slowly and effortlessly. Still feeling really good.

Adult obesity has risen 50% over the last 10 years – the two major health risk factors for those that are obese include heart disease and diabetes

Below are my notes from when I first began my weight loss journey back in 2006 – I hope you find them inspirational:

First of all, I can not tell you how important I think it is to get the starter kit

By design it’s a two week immersion into the program, all the products, helpful information, tape measure, your very own pedometer.  I think anyone can do something for two weeks. However,these last two weeks totally convinced me!!

Secondly, I simply adore the products!! The shakes taste absolutely terrific!! The shake recipes are versatile, fun and positively delicious.

My daughter also loved it!! Taking the shake to school really simplified her lunch day ( those kids get all of 20 minutes to eat) and she never felt hungry! She lost 5lbs and 2 inches!!

( her results as I understand it are more typical )

WOW!!

Lastly, I have to compliment my company on the languaging and directions they created for this program.

Bits of charm,humor and lightheartedness are sprinkled throughout the entire website,support materials and packaging. Its wonderful.

Thank you for creating such a remarkable program. I knew I had to conquer me first!

I made a twelve week commitment to lose weight. These last two weeks, in spite of things being a tad crazy around here, I made the thing work!!

I believe it’s possible to stick with it and hope to continue to see success!!

Know anyone who might benefit from a nutritional consultation?? My business is based entirely on word of mouth referrals, please don’t keep me a secret!! Share this information with those you know.

There I was.
 
All “way too much” of me

I had enough apathy to fill the room. 

A new weight loss program was being announced at our convention

Whoopie.

I personally felt that the entire weight loss battle was hopeless for me.

C’mon, I ate sensibly, organically, vegetable-y, I walked every single day – how is it I couldn’t move an ounce of weight off my body? 

Sound familiar?

I had completely given up.

I was a fatty and may as well get used to it.

LOOK at all these people parading their weight and inches lost….

That so won’t be me, I’ll tell you right now…

These products might have helped them but they will never EVER help me.

Ever have doubt like I did?  

Care to see what happened?
