A LEANER MORE FIRM BODY
Since the Surgeon General's Report on "Nutrition and Health," we have become concerned about the health impact of being overweight and accompanying levels of lipids, triglycerides and "cholesterol" in the blood. Further, the average "couch potato" has become more and more concerned about general appearance, especially the accumulation of fat around the middle of the body. Unfortunately, the fat stays on and the lipids stay elevated, even with the attempts of the last several decades to incorporate "low-fat/high-carbohydrate" diets.

These WEIGHT LOSS and WEIGHT MANAGEMENT products address the need for rebalancing the focus on carbohydrate, and provides tools to help in carbohydrate reduction and to help in achieving target body weight as part of a permanent weight management process. When some of the body weight is changed from light, non-calorie-burning fat to heavier, calorie-burning muscle, The guiding rule is to be consistent and over the long term you will achieve your goal and be able to maintain it.

Directions: Start with one or two STIMULEAN tablets, first thing in the morning, and before other meals. Take one tablespoonful of AMINOLYZE with water at bedtime, as well as at other times for extra energy. Take one PHASE'OLEAN tablet at the start of each meal or snack containing 100 grams or more of starch. The SHAKE can be used as a protein and nutrient rich meal replacement. It is easy to implement these supplements into your plan and you will enjoy the sense of accomplishment by seeing your new body evolve in your own private mirror.

STATE OF THE ART
The Life Plus WEIGHT LOSS and WEIGHT MANAGEMENT products are, without a doubt, the most state of the art weight management products available today. They are extremely effective in helping you lose weight in a way that is both pleasant and healthful. This program is designed to help you in your quest to maintain your new weight for years to come.

FLEXIBILITY
The Weight Loss Products can be easily tailored to individual needs and preferences. Some respond quickly and consistently to AMINOLYZE hydrolyzed protein supplementation. Others do great just by concentrating on eating high starch-containing foods while taking PHASE'OLEAN starch blocker tablets with meals. We have different metabolisms and personal characteristics, when you combine these fantastic products with the other aspects of healthy weight loss, you have a scientifically sound and efficient weight management program.

LONG TERM SUCCESS
Once you have achieved your desired weight by using the Life Plus products, a major advantage is that it can help you maintain your goal weight for the long term by following its basic principles. Since starch is a main constituent of many natural foods including grains, vegetables, fruits, breads and most processed and fast foods as well, you can easily take a PHASE'OLEAN tablet with each meal to help lower your effective total caloric uptake year after year.

For example, starch provides from 500 to 700 carbohydrate calories per day in the average American adult diet. And many individuals who routinely overeat consume upwards of 1,500 or more calories per day from the starch in their diets. Taking one PHASE'OLEAN tablet will block about 400 starch calories simply and easily. If you reasonably limit your carbohydrate intake and do moderate exercise, the fantastic products make it possible to stay at your ideal weight and healthy body ratio of lean body mass.

OVERWEIGHT AND PITFALLS OF
LOW-FAT/HIGH CARBOHYDRATE
Approximately 74% of Americans twenty-five years or older are overweight, that's three out of every four citizens in our entire country! This is up from 59% just ten years ago. That's a whopping increase of over 25% in just one decade. In addition, 24% of adults are above their recommended weight by 20% or more. People at or above the 20% level are considered by medical experts to be obese and have greater tendencies to develop serious disease. And, as our dietary patterns have changed, so have our waistlines. In terms of simple energy balance we gain weight if our body assimilates more calories than it burns, and we lose weight if we burn more calories than we assimilate. In other words we must maintain caloric balance.

CARBOHYDRATES AND BODY FAT
Over time, many individuals exposed to excess digestible carbohydrates (not fiber) develop "insulin resistance" where extra insulin is produced over and above the amounts previously needed to help burn up the carbohydrates. Extra insulin in the body can give the signal to accumulate body fat, and not to release stored body fat for energy production. Extra insulin is also associated with increases in blood lipids, triglycerides and "cholesterol." While the body gives strong "craving" signals to fulfill needed energy balance demands, body fat may remain or may even build up in classic "low fat/high carbohydrate" diets. Some researchers observe fat build-up around the body's middle as correlating with this carbohydrate-driven fat retention problem. And remember, medical practitioners note that there are no known deficiency diseases related to a lack of digestible carbohydrates! The products also provide nutritional support compatible with successful reduction of stored body fat, especially the fat which tends to accumulate around the middle of the body!

WEIGHT LOSS EXPECTATIONS
One motivational factor contributing to the well-known "yo-yo" track record of many diets is the rapid weight loss experienced in the first few days or weeks, followed by a sharp reduction in the rate of loss subsequently. Any sudden dietary change can lead to a change in fluid retention ("water loss") and measurable weight loss, which, while real, is not sustainable or reflective of lean body mass and/or body fat. A pound of fat represents about 3500 calories. In round figures, a person burning 1750 calories per day AND in total starvation, could only burn the equivalent of 3 pounds of fat per week! In reality, the body would also consume protein, such as from heart muscle, etc., which is why a lack of adequate protein when dieting can be so dangerous. Realistic measures require a longer time frame. Any initial water loss must be discounted. And when some of the body weight is changed from light, non-calorie-burning fat to heavier, calorie-burning muscle, the measuring tape may better reflect diet success, and continuing weight management overall will become easier. So slow and steady, with a long time horizon is the guiding rule to achieve success in attaining your weight management target.
