Evodiamine-
Evodiamine is known as the hot herb in China because it raises a person’s body temperature and suppresses a person’s appetite similar to eating spicy food.  In lab tests on animals, evodiamine showed body weight, serum-free fatty acid levels, total lipids, triglyceride, and cholesterol were significantly reduced.  While skin temperature increased dramatically, the body’s core temperature remained the same which indicates that a person loses weight with evodiamine by burning fat to increase heat, but also burning fat to activate the body’s cooling activities.  Additional tests show that evodiamine acts as an appetite suppressant by slowing gastric empty and gastrointestinal transit, which reduces caloric intake.  When taking evodiamine, people lose weight by burning calories to increase heat production and to cool the body temperature.  At the same time, it acts as an appetite suppressant by slowing the gastrointestinal transit of food. 

Citrus Aurantium-
Citirus aurantium is a fruit rich in vitamins and minerals that also possesses powerful weight loss properties.  It helps a person lose weight by increasing the body’s metabolic rate during rest periods.  Citirus Aurantium is unique because it activates thermogenesis without stimulating the central nervous system which results in faster calorie burn without the feeling of nervousness or jitters. 

Irvingia Gabonensis
Irvingia Gabonensis – is a tree native to the deserts of West Africa that bears a fruit similar to a mango which are desired for their great taste; however, the true value of the tree is its nuts.  There have been dramatic results for people who have consumed Irvingia Gabonesis.  In 2008, there was a study done where participants consumed Cissus Quadrangularis with Irvingia Gabonesis. The subjects were told not to change their diet or add additional exercise.  At the end of the test, the waist size of the subjects decreased by 20% in two weeks.  The people on the placebo also ate an average of 400 calories a day more than the ones not taking Irvingia Gabonesis because of the hunger reducing qualities.  Additionally, subjects taking Irvingia Gabonesis showed significant drops in cholesterol levels.  For more information, click here http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2330043/

Cissus Quanrangularis
Cissus Quanrangularis is found in Asia and Africa, but it’s primarily found in India.  It is said to accelerate recovery rates by influencing the speed at which fractures and tissues heal. According to Cissus.org, the use of Cissus Quadrangularis extract for bone fractures was found to reduce the recovery time by more than 55 percent in clinical studies. In 2006 and 2008, two studies were published in the journal of Lipids and Heart Disease, that indicated Cissus Quadrangularis’ potency for weight loss. It is believed that the weight loss is attributed to blocking the absorption of dietary fats and carbohydrates. 

Theobromin: This is a powerful appetite suppressant that tells the central nervous system that a person feels full.  It is a mild stimulant which provides additional energy to promote physical activity and a diuretic which helps you lose water weight.   In addition to that, theobromine is the feel good ingredient that is found when eating chocolate. 

Multi-Tasking: Do not multi-task while eating.  This preoccupies your mind and encourages people to eat beyond the point where they are full.  When you focus on your meal, it will increase your enjoyment of the food and you will become more aware of your body’s hunger signals.  In many cases, people eat according to a schedule rather than need.   

Low Fat: Many people believe that low fat foods are safe to eat since they are low in fat, but many low fat foods preserve their taste with high sugar content.  This is especially harmful when people consume these products more frequently because of the low fat content.

Smaller Portions: People tend to eat whatever is in front of them; therefore, the larger the serving the greater risk for overeating.  To combat this, try using smaller dishes and going back for second servings.  In many cases, you will be satisfied with your first serving and you will not go back for more.

Hide Treats: Do not tempt yourself with snacks.  It is okay to have snacks in the cupboard, but having snacks lying around the house can trigger the desire to snack even when you’re not hungry. 

Buy tall glasses: Similar to using smaller plates, studies show that a tall and thin glass reduces the amount of liquid you will consume.  Short and wide glasses appear less full and inspire people to pour more liquid than normal. 

Eat Dinner Early: A study, done with mice, found that mice were able to eat as much calorie intensive food as they wanted without any negative consequences as long as it was done in an 8 hour period.  The 16 hour fast provides the body plenty of time to convert the food into energy and avoid metabolic exhaustion.  It’s not advised to eat whatever you want for eight hours, but perhaps an early dinner and late breakfast may be the change you need to lose some extra pounds.

Sleep Late: Studies show a connection between sleep deprivation and weight gain.  MRIs show that in a sleep deprived state the reward centers of the brain are activated by images of unhealthy food, but only in a sleep deprived state.  Sleep deprivation can also increase leptin levels, which is the hormone that produces fat and slows down your metabolic rate.

Do your supplements make you feel better, increase your energy, and improve your sleep?  Have you noticed that restrictive diets seem to be more harmful to your body than helpful?  If so, try combating weight loss through proper nutrition and natural processes the body already has to burn calories.  In many cases, people can lose weight by providing the body the tools it needs to process the calories you already consume more efficiently.  Nutrients like B-vitamins and choline increase the metabolization of fat.  Vitamin C stops glucose from being stored in the body; and chromium reduces hunger pangs.  While extreme diets may help you lose a few pounds, they usually do it at the expense of your health and the lost weight usually returns later.  A balanced, nutritional diet, will help you lose weight while improving your health and energy.  Take the Biometics 30 day challenge today!
