The Truth about Healthy Weight Loss

The number of Americans that are overweight or obese is at an all time high. This is particularly disturbing because of the fact that medical science has found significant health risks related to excess weight. If you are overweight, you are more likely to have high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer. Last year, Americans spent billions of dollars trying to lose this dangerous excess weight. A recent study found that over 50% of all Americans said they were trying to lose weight at some time in the past year. In yet another survey, 94% of the women asked confessed to wanting to lose weight.

As a culture we are either obsessed with needing to lose weight, or irresponsibly jeopardizing our health by overeating, poor nutrition and lack of exercise.

Plus, losing weight is not magic. Quick fixes can be dangerous - even deadly. Ephedra or Ma Huang, has been directly responsible for over 80 deaths and thousands of hospital visits. A successful healthy weight reduction/weight management program will not only help you lose weight but will keep it off. It requires that you reduce the number of calories you eat. It also requires that you become more active. This combination of reduced caloric intake and increased physical activity produces about a two pound a week weight loss.

Moderate exercise is vital. Researchers have determined that walking is an ideal way to burn calories. A 20 minute walk each day will provide the safe increased activity level desired.

Many individuals need help to accomplish these tasks. There are a great number of weight loss supplements on the market claiming to offer guaranteed results. Unfortunately, the vast majority of these supplements are ineffective or otherwise dangerous. A nutritional supplement can be very useful but only if it works in a safe natural way.

Why is Weight Guardian far superior to its competition?

Weight Guardian does NOT contain ephedra, ma huang, or any other central nervous system stimulant.

Weight Guardian contains Green Tea and Green Tea Extract as a source of catechin polyphenols. Polyphenols have been proven to enhance fat metabolism by increasing energy expenditure and fat oxidation. In addition, polyphenols are powerful antioxidants, shown to reduce heart disease and cancer.

Weight Guardian uses L-carnitine tartrate in its formula to promote the conversion of fat into energy the body can use.

Weight Guardian utilizes chromium to stabilize blood sugar and blood insulin levels. This process prevents rapid elevations and declines in blood sugar thus delaying the return of appetite. When we consume food our blood sugar increases and the body secrets insulin to allow the sugar into the cells and bring the blood sugar level back to normal. It is this dropping of blood sugar back to normal that stimulates the return of appetite. Chromium inhibits the elevation of blood sugar; thereby reducing the release of insulin and slowing the entire process. Appetite returns more slowly, reducing the craving for more food - especially between meals.

Weight Guardian also contains calcium. Recent studies have shown that increasing the dietary intake of calcium promoted more rapid and greater weight loss.

Weight Guardian, through the use of Serotain, increases the level of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain that influences hunger. Elevated serotonin levels result in reduced appetite, without any harmful side effects.

Again, if you are looking for a quick fix - Weight Guardian is not your answer. There are no quick fixes to healthy weight loss. The AHS Weight Management Program is a clinically-based comprehensive program based on what physicians have been advising their patients for decades. Using a natural supplement to reduce your caloric intake, combined with a healthy diet and moderate exercise is both the safest and most efficacious ways to lose weight - and keep it off.
