Less is More for Weight Loss

Weight loss is a worldwide concern, with endless (it seems) advice on how to lose it and achieve ideal weight, and mostly it is too complicated.

From changing diets, and drastically so, to timing of meals, fasting, what to eat and not eat, when to eat or not eat. Then, of course, we have to balance opposing opinions on each segment of how to lose weight. Truly confusing. 

I prefer an elegant solution, a smart supplement that respects our body and mind - which is  the framework we applied to design Weight Less.

Research has correlated excess body fat with metabolic syndrome (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, and more) and inflammation. These factors make it very difficult to lose weight. A supplement to support the body and actually help with weight loss has to be able to lower inflammation, supply potent antioxidants, and help manage blood sugar.

Weight Less works on multiple fronts in the body (Roy et al., 2011) while supplying energy to the brain (Cornish et al., 2017). The formula has brown seaweed of kelp and bladderwrack, shown to reduce glycemic load of complex and simple carbohydrates for better insulin management. This is the reason 1-2 capsules are taken 15 minutes before a meal. It will slow down carbohydrate and sugar digestion and absorption.

Furthermore, brown seaweed offers intense antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. Take a look at the references, they are indeed impressive. 

7-Keto DHEA has a long history in literature (Bonetti et al., 2022). As we have learned last week, 7-keto is safe and very effective for increasing the resting of metabolic rate of overweight adults (Zenk et al., 2007; Jeyaprakash et al., 2023). In the literature, it is one of the supplements for "lipedema" - a difficult weight loss condition. 

Weight Less is a smart formula, working with the body to burn fat and balance blood sugar regulation, slow down sugar absorption, and ease the body into a mode of weight loss.
