Now, don't you be taking offense. I'm not accusing you of being overweight. lol But I'll bet you know lots of people who are! 2/3rds of Americans are overweight or obese and Canadians may not be all that much behind. If you should be among those who like to lose weight, don't despair.

Brazos Minshews Wellness Talks have been addressing this problem the last couple of days and you will find  the research and science that went into Leanology fascinating. Here is my version of what he had to say this morning.

Enjoy! Tula

---------------

In the development of Leanology, we went through 2 years of research and controlled studies at Arizona State University. They performed a four-armed, placebo controlled test that went on for nearly a year.
 
Prior to starting the test all candidates went through rigorous body composition measurements in order to do a before Leanology and after Leanology comparison. These were not just physical measurements as you might imagine, but blood work and bone density tests were required as well.
 
The 4 testing groups were:
 
  • 1. Leanology only
  • 2. Coaching only
  • 3. Leanology and Coaching
  • 4. Placebo only
 
The weight loss produced by Leanology was 1 to 1.4 lbs a week.
 
At the time TriVita launched Leanology, there were 2 other products selling like hotcakes; well marketed and branded products worth several hundred million dollars. Both these products were claiming 1.5 pound weight loss a week.
 
However, when we looked into their research and studies, we found some were using caffeine and even aspirin in their product! Huh??
 
One of these products had a massive 74% of the weight loss due to loss from lean body tissue. Lean body tissue is comprised of brain, muscle, bone, liver, heart and collagen... NOT FAT.
 
The other leading weight loss product had similar claims to weight loss, but 55% of the loss came from lean body tissue. In other words the weight loss was coming from body parts and tissues that you NEED. Not fat.
 
That's why when some people rave about the 20 lbs they lost, you look at them and think, "Maybe you have, but you also look 20 years older." What's up with that?
 
It's called sarcopenia. Aging. Because much of the 20 lb loss is from lean body tissue, they've actually lost years from their life. Premature aging. They will die younger than if they had kept the weight on! One Scandinavian study supports this. (Sorry, I couldn't type fast enough to get the details of the study.)
 
Another lesser known area of concern is the bone mass that is lost on super low calorie diets. Loss of bone mass is osteoporosis. Osteoporosis kills more women than breast cancer every year. Don't mess with your bone mass!
 
Okay - so we're examining the research and test results of these products and going, "Hmmm... great product. It works as you claim. People lose 1.5 lbs. But you just killed them." Incredible that this is even permitted.
 
Now let's compare Leanology
 
What did our 2 years of research studies and testing indicate with Leanology? Is it another product that, yes, helps you lose weight, but at the same time kills you? No.
 
When we launched Leanology, we approached the market with our scientific research and our clinical trial results were published. We did not lead with unrealistic weight loss promises.
 
The doctor who viewed the data after the trial was over, called me (Brazos Minshew, although he didn't know me) and said, "Wow, you have a hit on your hands!"
 
Brazos says, "Well yeah, this is TriVita. We only make the best."
 
The doctor says, "No, I'm serious, 100% of the weight loss came from fat!"
 
Brazos asked the doctor how many of these weight loss products he studies a year and the doctor said, "All of them. That's my job. AND NOT A SINGLE OTHER ONE OF THEM DIDN'T LOSE LEAN BODY TISSUE AND WATER."
 
How did Leanology measure up in other ways?
 
One of the body composition tests run on the trial participants was a Dexoscan. A dexoscan measures bone density. Not only did people on Leanology not lose any bone mass, they actually gained bone mass after 4  months.
 
Additionally, Leanology participants, while losing an average of 1.4 lbs a week, actually gained 3.2% lean body mass, especially more collagen. As a result the participants looked younger. And rightly so. They were not just slimmer, they felt better. Biologically, they were better.
 
Weight loss was 100% fat. No lean body mass loss whatsoever.
 
Body fat gain, in North America is typically caused by a loss of a person's own sense of purpose and passion. Without a passion driven purpose, your lifestyle simply doesn't require a healthier life from you. Non-event stress over the years contributes to weight gain. Develop a sense of purpose, become passionate about your purpose and  weight loss will come much easier and be long term.
 
The key to healthy weight loss is to have 100% of that weight loss come from fat, not lean body tissue. Any other way, and you're setting yourself up for failure. Loss of lean body mass leads to plateaus as your body tries to protect itself from loss of the necessary elements for good health. Loss of lean body mass leads to premature aging and ultimately, an early death.
 
Use Leanology until you lose 100% of the weight you want to lose.
 
On a side note, some ask when they should add GlucoManage to their weight loss regime. Or even IF they should.
 
GlucoManage has to do with your own craving for carbs. You know... when that pull to the fridge or the pantry hits about 7:00 o'clock in the evening...  cookies,  chocolate or Jalapeno Chips... almost anything will do as long as it fills the craving for carbs.
 
Interestingly, the majority of calories that we consume in excess of what our body needs happens after 5:00 pm in the evening. There's a saying, "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and supper like a pauper." Or as Brazos said they say in Romania, "Give supper to your enemy."
 
GlucoManage is specifically designed to help you curb your carb cravings by providing your body the nutrients it needs to aid in stabilizing blood sugar. Its natural ingredients stimulate insulin production, helping you control your appetite which in turn promotes weight loss.  
 
Leanology on the other hand, converts all that stored energy from the fat you carry around as dead weight into vibrant, lean body mass. It helps with blood sugar metabolism. It increases your metabolism. And it helps you deal with stress, the most common problem behind otherwise unexplained weight gain and the ongoing desire to eat even when your body has no need for additional fuel.

Added Note: Obviously, the foregoing is not trying to make guarantees to your weight loss, but if you are serious about weight loss, Leanology and GlucoManage can aid you in reaching your goals. I've personally seen it happen.
