Lose Weight & Stay Slim!

CLA + Green Tea Helps You To A Leaner and Firmer Body!

Losing weight is not the problem – making it a permanent change is! That is why we have developed CLA + T, a special preparation with the active ingredients CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) and GTE (Green Tea Extract).

Reduces fat and makes you firmer

• CLA reduces fat, converting it into lean muscle mass
• GTE speeds up the fat conversion, making fat loss even more efficient.

Blocks fat uptake

CLA + Green Tea is not a slimming pill. It is a supplement that makes it a whole lot easier for you to get rid of the fat that conceals your slim figure. CLA inhibits your body’s accumulation of fat by sending the fat to your muscle cells. Here, fat is converted into energy – with your help: regular exercise. The combination of CLA +Green Tea and exercise is what makes great results.

Leaner and firmer

What is more, CLA stimulates lean muscle mass, making you leaner and firmer. With more muscle cells and less body fat it is much easier to maintain your weight loss. That way you avoid the horrible “yo-yo” that makes your weight bounce up and down.

So, What Is CLA?

CLA stands for conjugated linoleic acid and is a naturally occurring fatty acid that is found in meat and dairy products (milk, cheese etc). It works by blocking the uptake of fat in fat cells. The fat that is blocked gets forwarded to the muscle cells and converted into energy. The more a person exercises, the more fat that person’s muscle tissue will metabolise into energy. Therefore regular physical activity is important if you want CLA to work optimally.

• CLA blocks the uptake of fat in fat cells
• CLA sends the fat to the muscle cells
• CLA stimulates lean muscle mass

Documented Results with CLA...

A scientific study of 40 overweight men and women (aged 18-44 years) shows that CLA reduces body fat. Researchers divided the people in two groups, giving one group CLA and the other group (control group) identical capsules with an inactive substance.

What is Green Tea & How Can It Help?

Green tea supplies a lot of healthful substances, such as polyphenols and flavonoids, that can help improve one’s overall health.

Green tea contains a small amount of caffeine, so it serves as a mild appetite suppressant; it is also high in polyphenols which reputedly inhibit absorption of fat from the intestinal tract and activate fat-burning and increased energy expenditure.   

A placebo-controlled study showed that green tea extract increased the energy expenditure by 4% and promoted the fat oxidation in humans beyond that explained by the caffeine content. It was concluded that oral adminstration of green tea extract has the potential to influence body weight and body composition.

Test tube studies suggest that green tea extracts high in catechins may inhibit fat digestion and a preliminary human study found a green tea extract increased calorie burning. A preliminary human study found that people taking a green tea extract containing 375 mg per day of total catechins for three months lost an average of 4.6% of their body weight without dieting.

There are many different ways of reducing unfavourable profiles for blood lipids such as cholesterol. Apparently, green tea is a good approach.

Scientists working at the University of Porto, Portugal, tested the effect of green tea on 29 healthy volunteers aged 22-63 and found that it had a significant effect on levels of both LDL and HDL cholesterol, reducing the one and increasing the other.

Four weeks of treatment produced an average 8.9 per cent decrease in LDL cholesterol in 90 per cent of the study participants and increased HDL levels by four per cent in 69 per cent of the subjects. The researchers wrote:

”Our data suggest that green tea drinking has beneficial effects and protects against CVD by improving blood lipid profiles.”

It is the content of polyphenols in green tea that is responsible for the good effects on blood lipid profiles, the team of scientists say, pointing specifically to four different substances: epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), epigallocatechin, epicatehin gallate, and epicatechin.

Green tea contains between 30 and 40 per cent of these water-extractable polyphenols, while black tea (green tea that has been oxidised by a fermentation process) contains 3-10 per cent only.

Natural LIfestyle Magazine Review - July 07

Last year Mrs Donna Holmes found herself feeling tired and lethargic and reluctant to leave the house. Donna’s weight had ballooned from 8 and a half to 11 stone.

“I didn’t have enough energy to play with my children, let alone take myself off to the gym, so I gradually pilled on the pounds.”

As her weight continued to soar, Donna’s depression became worse and eventually she was admitted to hospital. Shocked by her experience, she discharged herself and decided she would lose the weight that was now making her so miserable.

“I didn’t like the person I had become, in fact I no longer recognised her. I was convinced I would feel better if I lost weight and began to exercise. I saw an ad for a CLA + Green Tea product and a picture of a really slim woman with a bikini on and thought ‘that could be me.Within a week of taking them I had started to lose weight and I really did feel better. For the first time in months, I left the car at home and walked my kids to school.”

Donna started taking CLA + Green Tea at the beginning of October and within 3 weeks she had already lost 9lbs. By January, friends and family were beginning to notice the difference.

“It was the first time in years that people remarked positively to me about my body. I’d lost over a stone and was looking and feeling great. I actually felt proud of my body.”

With renewed confidence and energy she decided to exercise publicly and joined a health and fitness class.

By Easter she was swimming and visiting the gym twice a week.

Three months later and in time for her long-deserved summer holiday, Donna had achieved her goal and slimmed down from 11 stone and a size 14 to 8 and a half stone and a size 8.

“This summer I did wear a bikini and it felt great! In fact, I have a whole new wardrobe full with clothes I thought I’d never be able to wear. Taking CLA + Green Tea has literally changed my life. Not only have I lost weight; I have also regained the confidence I thought I had lost forever. I would certainly recommend CLA + Green Tea to anyone!”
