Weight Less: An Elegant Solution
Is it possible to lose weight and have sustained energy at the same time?
Wild brown seaweed such as kelp and bladderwrack in Weight Less is shown in research to lower the glycemic load of complex and simple carbohydrates for better insulin management, as well as offer a power-filled phenolic activity for antioxidant and anti-inflammation effect (Roy et al., 2011).
Studies find supplementing with brown seaweed before meals to help slow down the digestion of whole or simple carbs to significantly reduce blood glucose for overall glycemic control (Gabbia et al., 2017; Bérubé et al., 2014; Kim et al., 2014; Lamarche et al., 2010). Glycemic control supports a consistent metabolic health and weight management.
7-Keto has been used for many years to turn on fat burning mechanism and offer an effective and safe way to lose weight (Bobyleva et al., 1997). Together, Weight Less promotes a sustained energy level throughout the day as it modulates carbohydrate digestion and absorption, a necessary function for weight loss and weight management.
Inflammation is shown in research to link obesity and cardio–metabolic risks for obese and non-obese individuals (Phillips & Perry, 2013). A diet of whole plants rich in phenols offers anti-inflammatory benefits (Wright et al., 2017). Weight Less is comprised of wildcrafted brown seaweeds with potent phenols that have exceptionally high antioxidant potency, anti-diabetic properties, and anti-inflammatory potential (Gabbia et al., 2017; Catarino et al., 2017; Pantidos et al., 2014; Bahar et al., 2012). All important for achieving healthy weight.
The formula is elegant in its simplicity and power: 25 mg of 7-Keto for fat burning and sustained energy mixed with 250 mg of brown seaweed extracts of kelp and bladderwrack taken 20 minutes to half an hour before meals to aid carbohydrate digestion and assimilation; shifting high glycemic index food to one typical of a low glycemic index food (Paradis et al., 2011; Roy et al., 2011; Bérubé et al., 2014).
Enjoy!
