A Growing Problem
To truly lose excess body fat (not simply weight) – and keep it off – you’re going to have to forgo diets in favour of some lifelong lifestyle changes that incorporate exercise (especially muscle-building exercise) with a sustained balance of high-quality protein, dietary fats, and low glycemic carbohydrates.
In the meantime, on days that you find it too difficult to follow a healthy dietary protocol – or on designated cheat days – you can at least stop some of the excess carbohydrate (starch) and fat calories from adding to your expanding fat cell accounts by supplementing with scientifically proven starch and fat blocking nutrients.
According to a survey conducted by the Heart and Stroke Foundation, over 62% of Canadian adults have reported that they have lost weight only to regain it again within a short time. Furthermore, over 30% have reported using various types of fad diets to help them lose weight.1 The problem is that none of these fad diets ever seem to work. In fact, studies have shown that although dieters may see results in the short term, they do not have long-term success.2 Only about 5% of dieters manage to keep off the lost weight.1,2 Furthermore, the majority of dieters end up weighing more than they did before they started dieting.1,2 Obesity rates have nearly doubled in Canada since the 1970’s, and they continue to rise.3 Despite all our diets, North Americans are getting fatter every year and our doctors don’t seem to have the answers.
Effective Nutritional Support
Ultimate Starch and Fat BlockerTM contains clinically studied ingredients that can help the body absorb less fat and carbohydrates, providing effective support for a healthy weight management plan.4,5 The key ingredients are a “starch-blocking” extract from white kidney beans, and a unique “fat-blocking” extract from the Nopal Cactus. Clinical studies have shown that white kidney bean extract can block the activity of alpha-amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starch into sugar.4,5 In one 8 week study of 39 obese individuals, those taking kidney bean extract lost more than twice as much weight (an average of 3.79 lbs) as those in the placebo group.4 The extract has also been shown to help reduce triglyceride levels and regulate blood glucose levels.4,5 Nopal Cactus extract has shown similar, promising results, with one study showing that it effectively reduced fat absorption and improved cholesterol in 68 obese individuals
