The Science of BioSlim

DESIGN OF THE BIOSLIM SYSTEM: STEPS TO PERMANENT SUCCESS

The user begins to lose weight following all three major parts of the system. Success is achieved because he/she is:

• Getting the nutrients that are known to aid in weight loss62,63, as detailed above.
• Reducing total caloric intake, in a sustainable, non-restrictive way that cuts out unhealthful foods and builds overall fitness and good health.
• Reducing overall fat intake (thus diminishing the FIT-reducing effect of dietary fat).
• More active, in an easy, natural, sustainable way. Energy expenditure goes up.

The program is designed to be as simple and easy to follow as possible. This is a very important aspect of BioSlim – it is the key to the ability of users to maintain the program. Ease of use is accomplished in several ways, including:

1. Scrupulously avoiding any requirement to count anything (calories, fat grams, carb grams). This reduces the feeling of restrictiveness and oppressive dieting. Instead, users utilize a simple plan for improving the quality of ingested food, with a view to improving health while reducing overall caloric intake. Note that it is perfectly possible under this plan to eat a considerably higher volume of food yet take in much fewer calories compared to an average American diet. (See below for more on this subject.)
2. There are no specific rigorous menus to follow or foods to eat. BioSlim focuses on educating users to choose foods wisely, leaving the actual choices to the user. This is done specifically in order to make the experience as pleasant and easy as possible.
3. BioSlim avoids rigorous, highly structured exercise regimens, in favor of lifestyle activity changes that have been found in clinical studies to be at least as effective.45,46,47 This helps assure long-term maintainability, and contributes to the ease of use of the program.
4. There is unified nutritional supplementation, minimizing the number of bottles and the confusion that a more scattered approach can cause. It's easier by design.
5. Everything needed to achieve results is in one place, one package. Confusion is minimized, making the experience easier on the user. And just in case, there's...
6. The Doctor's Hotline, which provides rapid and effective support should users falter or need questions answered. This eases the way even for problem cases.

Note that the "rebound" effect often seen in dieters is caused in part by lean-body mass (muscle) losses during inappropriate dieting.33-37 When muscle is lost along with fat in an overly severe diet, the total amount of energy burned by the body is reduced, because the muscles are in effect the furnaces in which that energy is burned. With BioSlim, this undesirable effect is minimized:

• by the gentle, healthful nature of the program itself, which avoids extreme changes in favor of highly effective, maintainable improvements in lifestyle, diet and activity level;
• in part by the muscle-sparing effects of the chromium and pyruvate supplementation. These nutrients, therefore, can help users be able to maintain their weight loss results, even after stopping the supplementation.

Taken all together, BioSlim is a proven, highly effective weight loss program that is designed to provide long-term results. Its efficacy is well established.62,63

NATURAL PRODUCT

• The BioSlim Formulas are all-natural. There are no artificial stimulants or drugs of any kind in any of the products. Only health-building natural nutrients are used.
• The Food Plan eschews food substitutes or unnatural processed food in favor of natural, unprocessed, health-building foods.64,66
• The Activity Plan is designed to provide a more natural increase in activity level (energy expenditure) through lifestyle changes, rather than the more difficult unnatural choice of heavy, scheduled exercise regimens or machines.65,66 (Studies have shown that the more regimented approaches are no more likely to succeed initially, and less likely to be maintained.)45,46,4

CAN YOU EAT MORE AND STILL LOSE WEIGHT?

BioSlim does not restrict the amount of food users eat. It simply shows users how to control the quality of that food. It is possible, for example, to eat 4 TIMES as much salad using the BioSlim Food Principles (one of which is "no added fats"), and get only? the calories of a salad prepared without regard to the BioSlim Principles. The oily dressing, greasy croutons and cheese that can be added to the latter salad can more than account for the difference in calorie content, and in healthfulness. One way, the BioSlim way, builds health and aids in weight normalization; the other, non-BioSlim way contributes to obesity and ill health.
