Being overweight is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, adult-onset diabetes, hypertension and other conditions. A number of these powerful weight loss formulas, have been developed based on clinical success and scientific study. One important principle is the stimulation of thermogenesis, the metabolic generation of heat. For many decades, clinical study has identified the synergistic combination of caffeine and ephedra as one of the safest and effective. In published studies, this combination was shown to be 20 to 29 percent more effective than the FDA's ill-fated drug called dexfenfluramine. Ephedra and caffeine helped women lose twice as much fat and three-quarters less muscle when compared to dieting alone. And it seems to increase levels of protective HDL cholesterol and improve insulin sensitivity with long-term use.
The secret of permanent weight-loss is in balancing the metabolism – Most of the products recommended here have been tried and tested by Dr. Georgiou and mentioned in his book "Why Can’t I Lose Weight?"

These compounds contain important properties including powerful antioxidants that help fight free radical damage. The roasting process changes the chemical profile of the coffee bean, thus why unroasted coffee beans have been used in this extract.

It is also a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger. These effects are as a result of compounds known as catechins (polyphenols) found in high quality green tea leaf extracts.
Both lipotropic agents
Choline and inositol are both lipotropic agents that play an important role in fat metabolism in the liver and the emulsification of fats in the body. Choline is also a precursor of the neurotransmitter (brain chemical) acetylcholine, which is essential for normal brain activity.

Believed to influence the way our bodies store fat
Naturally present in our modern diet, but in significantly lower amounts than some researchers believe necessary, Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is believed to influence the way our bodies store fat. Normally CLA would be present in our diet in the form of beef products, however, modern farming methods and the move away from meat consumption has greatly reduced most people’s intake.
A protein product sourced from peas
Pea Protein, which as the name suggests, is a protein product sourced from peas. By a clever process of extraction and purification the protein is concentrated from the normal level of 6% in fresh peas to 90% in this product! You will find it an invaluable protein product, especially if you are recovering from illness and/or have a low appetite. It is also particularly suitable for sports enthusiasts since muscle mass can only be increased if the diet provides enough protein. And it can be used as a high protein meal replacement for slimmers.
Both nutrients are important for many body functions

A True Food® Supernutrition Plus multivitamin is also recommended.

This comprehensive formula includes multi-modal ingredients to help you maintain a balanced inflammatory response necessary in today’s society. Stephania tetrandra root extract, long used in China and Korea, suppresses multiple inflammatory cytokines, especially interleukin-6, associated with elevated C-reactive protein. Holy Basil leaf extract has natural COX-2 inhibition properties in vitro, and protects against noise-induced stress. Ginger and Boswellia serrata gum extract, both used extensively in the Ayurvedic tradition, contain numerous compounds that support optimal inflammatory modulation. Nettle leaf, green tea, and luteolin are also included for their inflammatory balancing effects.
Leptins—commonly called the “hunger hormone”—are an appetite-controlling molecule synthesized by your fat cells that tells your body when it’s time to stop eating. But while you might think higher levels of leptin would be a good thing, the exact opposite is true. Chronically elevated leptin levels point to a problem with leptin resistance—a condition in which your body isn’t responding to this hormone’s commands the way that it should. LeptinX helps regulate the hormone leptin.* The active ingredient in LeptinX has also been shown to raise the levels of adiponectin, another key hormone that helps regulate fat storage.*
RESEARCH SUGGESTS GREEN TEA SUPPORTS HEALTHY WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Research suggests that green tea supports healthy weight management, antioxidant defense and liver function and we have combined it with carnitine to help enhance its effects. We use the uniquely researched green tea phytosome, a phospholipid-bound form of green tea that is the most highly absorbed form of green tea.*

L-Carnitine L-Tartrate is a nutrient biosynthesized from amino acids and is naturally found in the human body, mainly stored in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Studies suggest that this compound may aid in healthy fat metabolism by facilitating the utilization of fatty acids as fuel.*
A CUTTING-EDGE NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT
Resveratrol is a phytonutrient found in the skin of red grapes, in red wine, in Japanese knotweed, and also in cocoa powder, baking chocolate, dark chocolate, peanuts, and mulberry skin in low levels. It occurs naturally in two forms: cis-resveratrol and trans-resveratrol. Trans-resveratrol is much more bioactive and clinically beneficial than cis-resveratrol. As a cutting-edge nutritional supplement, resveratrol has seen great success in a number of studies in mice and rats; it has anti-inflammatory properties, supports healthy blood sugar levels, and greatly benefits the cardiovascular system.

Supress visceral fat and reduce your waistline with Glabrinex
Glabrinex research is in: In double-blind, placebocontrolled, 12 week studies, Glabridin (the active ingredient in Glabrinex) has been shown to reduce body weight, waist circumference, and abdominal fat, and also helps to maintain healthy blood glucose levels in conjunction with a healthy diet and lifestyle program.* Do you carry excess belly fat around your waist? If so, chances are you have visceral fat. This type of fat surrounds your internal organs. The patent-pending ingredient in Glabrinex helps reduce visceral fat in two ways.* It lessens the body’s own natural fat forming processes, while it increases the activity of fat-burning enzymes.* Glabrinex is derived from the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra, a plant that’s been safely used for millennia.
Supplementing with Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been shown to: help prevent weight gain, decrease abdominal fat, increase metabolism, enhance muscle growth, promote cardiovascular health & support healthy immune function. The weight loss mechanisms of CLA are still being explored. Proposed mechanisms include decreased food intake, increased energy expenditure, decreased pre-fat cell development, blocking of fat cell proliferation and increased fat burning (lipolysis).
The key to great health
Iodine is classified as an essential nutrient, meaning your body cannot live without it. Iodine supplements such as Iodoral are recommended to help insure your body gets enough on a daily basis. Necessary for your body’s basic biological function, iodine is crucial to thyroid and adrenal health, immune function, memory and cognition, as well as breast and prostate health. It is also needed to maintain a healthy metabolism, as well as estrogen balance in women. Because it is found in every cell of our bodies, an iodine deficiency over time could lead to increased chances of health problems.
