America has millions
of people that are overweight. Approximately one third of the
adult population is overweight and fifty percent of the children
are overweight. Overweight persons develop more diabetes, high
blood pressure,  heart
disease, gallstones and arthritis. In the past it was thought
that eating too much resulted in obesity. However, there are
some people who eat a lot and remain thin, while there are others
who eat very little and still put on weight. The difference
seems to be how their metabolism is operating. Metabolism is
the process by which food is converted into energy. Stored energy
is what ends up on our hips and stomach as fat. When we restrict
foods, as with dieting, our metabolism thinks the body is in
danger of starving, so it becomes very efficient and will squeeze
every iota of energy out of what food we do eat. Then we go
back to what we were eating before, but the metabolism remains
efficient and starts to store energy again.
To lose weight it is necessary to speed up the metabolism, curb
the appetite and cleanse the colon of old stored waste. LIFE
QUEST HERBS' META SLIM formula has been designed to help
produce these effects. Guarana is an herb that is native to
Brazil and contains caffeine. The effect of the caffeine in
guarana results in a boost of energy and appetite suppression.
The psyllium seed contains a mucilage that, when combined with
water, will swell up to ten times its original size. It has
a soaking action in the bowel that helps to break up the old
hard fecal matter that is stored there.

Recommendation: Two
or three capsules with each meal-if this is too much for you,
you may take less. It is best to use this product in conjunction
with SURE LAX to make sure that the
bowels do not become constipated. It is also very important
to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, while cutting back on
meat, sweets, breads, and dairy products. It is essential to
exercise each day, as exercise breaks down the fat tissue so
that it can be cleaned out of the body.
