Weight Loss

The main reason people gain weight is because they consume foods with fats and excess sugars. Ultimately, sugars (called carbohydrates) and fats (called lipids) are your body's chief sources of fuel. However, these foods, although an important energy source, often contain few important nutrients, so it's healthier to limit their consumption.

Fat can be divided into two main groups - saturated and unsaturated.

Saturated fat is generally solid at room temperature and is usually from animal sources. It's found in lard, butter, hard margarine, cheese, whole milk and anything that contains these ingredients, such as cakes, chocolate, biscuits, pies and pastries. It's also the white fat you can see on red meat and underneath poultry skin.

Unsaturated fat is usually liquid at room temperature and generally comes from vegetable sources. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are both included in this group.

There are two types of sugar - those found naturally in fruit and milk (which are fine and don't need to be cut down) and those that are added to the diet.

These added sugars can be found in a variety of foods including confectionery, soft drinks, desserts and breakfast cereals. Added sugars are a great source of energy, but provide no other nutrients.

The body processes excess sugar into fat, so all the excess sugars are converted into fat. With that said, you can eat fat free foods all day and still gain weight.

Is it possible to maintain, or even lose weight by adding some sort of fat-buring item into our diets? Yes! However, I do mention this with a word of caution: You can't just continue to eat like a glutten and plan to loose weight. Along with a diet change must come physical activity (exercise).

There are many foods, drinks, and supplements with fat burning characteristics. For example, green tea has been highly recognized as one of the most effective sources to increase the body's metabolism. Green Tea with catechins helps to prevent obesity by slowing the glucose in fat cells.

In November, 1999, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published the results of a study at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. Researchers found that men who were given a combination of caffeine and green tea extract burned more calories than those given only caffeine or a placebo. [1]

Many studies give a strong indication that green tea is a beneficial contributor towards weight loss. With the fat burning effectiveness of green tea, it's no wonder that TriVita's Leanology has green tea as one of its ingredients.

The need for a weight loss program like TriVita's Leanology™ is important to start the weight loss process, but it's not the total cure-all. As mentioned previously, there has to be a lifestyle change if you want to achieve long term results. These results will improve every facet of your life, and can carry over to other members of your immediate family. TriVita does have the right products, but the products alone are not going to change your lifestyle.

Leanology products are scientifically formulated and physician approved. They are natural, nutrient based, and contain no stimulants. Leanology has been clinically proven for optimal, healthy weight loss. The Leanology system of products is convenient and easy to use!
