  3. According to Schlenker, & Roth (2011), 71% of men and 61% of women are overweight or obese. While a shocking 35% of adolescents are obese or on the verge of becoming overweight themselves. Factors that affect nutrition and/or lifestyle choices: • Social Class • Education and Knowledge • Accessibility and Availability • Cultural Influences • Financial Income

  4. Key Components for Achieving Weight Loss Goals: • Limit the intake of starches, sugars, and saturated fats. • Consume foods lower in calories such as those that contain whole grains, vegetables and fruits. • Follow current physical activity guidelines of 150 minutes (or about 30 minutes, five times a week) of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week with a gradual increase to longer durations of exercise, up to 60 minutes per day(American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine, 2012)

  5. Weight Loss Ingredients: Vitamin B3 Niacin: works to convert food into energy which boosts metabolism, improves circulation and reduces cholesterol. Chromium Polypicolinate: aids in the metabolism and storage of carbohydrates, fats and protein by enhancing the production of insulin; which regulates the amount of glucose in your blood. Garcinia Cambogia: increases metabolism and functions as an appetite suppressor.

  6. Ginseng Berry Extract: stimulates endurance and prolongs fatigue while improving the ability to handle stress, concentration, and overall well being. Sea Kelp (or Seaweed extract): increases the production of the thyroid hormone and metabolism. Green Tea and Green Tea Extract: helps increase and even change metabolism to burn more calories from fat (Scott, 2013).

  7. Precautions • Consult doctor before consuming with prescription or over the counter medications. Some cases of allergic reactions have occurred with the mixture of supplement ingredients and other medications. • Women that are pregnant, who may become pregnant, or breast feeding should talk with their doctor before using any herbal or dietary supplement products for they may contain things that could harm them or their growing baby (Office on Women’s Health, 2010).

  8. Doctors, dieticians, and other experts agree that there’s simply no magic way to lose weight without consuming foods low in calorie and fats in conjunction with regular exercise (Federal Trade Commission, 2012). • The combination of these ingredients or if components of this supplement are taken separately may cause gastrointestinal distress (Niacin), edema or insomnia (Ginseng abuse), or diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting (Garcinia) (Skidmore-Roth, 2010).

  9. Recommendations • All weight loss supplements are recommended in combination with a sensible diet that includes portion control in all food groups with an active lifestyle consisting of a regular exercise regimen to obtain the optimum results. • Always do research prior to consuming any weight loss or dietary supplements. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (2013), manufacturers and distributors do not need the FDA’s approval to sell their dietary supplements and therefore it is important to remember that these supplements are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
