Decreases Body Fat And Increases Energy!

LipoFlush is a research-driven, synergistic blend of natural ingredients designed to dramatically decrease body fat, increase energy levels, preserve skeletal muscle, and provide major health benefits. While other fat loss supplements work on one or at the most two dimensions of the fat loss equation, LipoFlush attacks fat from several independent and synergistic ways, resulting in unprecedented fat loss. One of these ways, not available in any other fat loss supplement, will literally flush the fat right out of your body. LipoFlush, unlike the ephedra based weight and fat loss formulas, improves your health and provides a natural energy boost. On top of all this it protects muscle so that when you lose weight it's almost 100% fat.

But that's not all. LipoFlush is not only useful in getting rid of unwanted fat, it also helps you to keep it off. There are several ingredients in LipoFlush that counteract the rapid increase in weight and body fat that happens when you go off most diets. A recent review article provides more info on this phenomenon, including the basis for adipose tissue regulation of thermogenesis, and helps explain in part why the ingredients in LipoFlush counteract this effect.

Weight Loss versus Fat Loss

Weight loss is an oxymoron. Who really wants to just lose weight? That means losing weight from all of the various tissues in your body, including muscle and bone. That's not what people want when they say they want to lose weight. What they really want to lose is FAT, not muscle. After all maintaining or even increasing muscle mass not only makes the body look and function better, but it makes it easier to lose body fat and keep it off.

It's important to realize that fat loss is not simply a matter of exercising more and eating less, although these are part of the fat loss equation. Effective fat loss also means guiding your body down the right metabolic paths where you target fat breakdown and spare muscle. It's also more than just breaking down body fat. You also have to do something with that body fat so it doesn't simply reform. That means getting rid of it by increasing the burning of this fat for fuel and flushing some of it right out of the body.

Simple as that sounds, it's not what most weight and fat loss supplements do. Many of the formulations on the market, including the ECA stack (combinations of ephedra, caffeine and ASA) formulations, will increase fat breakdown (lipolysis) but do not dispose of this fat efficiently and in most cases the fat is reformed and just goes right back to the same body areas. Besides increasing lipolysis and making sure you get rid of that released fat, it's also important to make sure that the weight you lose is fat and not muscle. Cutting calories can lead to weight loss but some or even most of this weight loss may in fact represent muscle and other tissues. The trick to losing weight is to lose mostly fat so that when you're down to your target goal you look and feel good.

It's also important to keep making progress. Anyone can lose weight at first but it's a real challenge to keep it up. That's because your body reacts to the imagined threat of starvation by instituting some ages old survival mechanisms, mainly slowing the metabolic rate so you can get by on fewer calories, and increasing hunger so you can take full advantage of any food that you find. Even though you're deliberately trying to lose weight to improve your looks and health, your body looks at the calorie reduction as a sign of impending starvation and adjusts accordingly.

So unless you understand what's happens when you cut back on your calories, and make the appropriate adjustments, including taking the right supplements, you can reach a plateau fast. Put all this together and it's no wonder that most people find it impossible to lose any significant amount of fat, to keep any fat they do lose from coming back on, and to prevent loss of muscle while they're dieting.

In my mind the most important steps to effective fat loss, besides reducing calories and exercise, are:

  • Increasing fat release from the fat stores in the body, including cellulite - this is done by triggering lipolysis via various mechanisms including triggering the right signaling systems (for example by selectively increasing cyclic AMP levels in fat cells either directly or indirectly) and maintaining thyroid hormone levels and activity.
  • Decreasing fat formation or lipogenesis. This is done by using various ingredients that decrease the stimulus and the enzymes that support lipogenesis.
  • Increasing the elimination of the released fat from the body by burning it up and by flushing it out. Increasing the burning of fatty acids is done by increasing the metabolic rate (including normalizing thyroid hormone levels, increasing T3 formation and effect, and increasing UCP3 uncoupling protein - these also increase lipolysis), increasing the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria (the fat furnaces of the body) and by priming and optimizing the functioning of the TCA cycle so that beta oxidation and the efficient utilization of the basic 2 carbon groups that result from fatty acids metabolism. Increasing the removal of fat from the body is done by increasing the amount of fatty acids that are dumped into the urine and flushed out of the body.
  • Targeting fat loss and not muscle loss.
  • And counteracting the metabolic effects of dieting, i.e. increased hunger and decreased metabolic rate.
And that's what LipoFlush is all about. LipoFlush does it all and then some because it attacks the problem of getting rid of body fat in innovative ways.

LipoFlush not only has all the "usual suspects" - the fat loss ingredients that are in all the other high profile weight and fat loss supplements, but it also has ingredients, and synergistic combinations of ingredients not found anywhere else.

The natural ingredients in my supplements work synergistically at many sites to produce the desired fat loss effect, without side effects and with health benefits to boot. Targeting various ingredients to affect various aspects of pathways that lead to specific effects, as against violently disrupting a specific pathway as some drugs do, is a much more natural and effective way to go.

History of LipoFlush

I've been involved in the sports and weight loss business for four decades. For most of that time I've helped athletes in all sports, from professional bodybuilders to Olympic 100 meter gold medalists, optimize their body weight for maximum performance. I also operated a bariatric clinic for over two decades, seeing and helping many thousands of overweight people lose weight and body fat.

As well I've researched and written books and hundreds of magazine articles (in top fitness, sports and bodybuilding magazines) about ways to optimize body composition for over three decades.

All this time I've been searching for the ideal weight loss supplement. One that wasn't all smoke and mirrors, as are many of the weight loss supplements on the market today, regardless of price, but really worked, and was safe. In fact, not only safe but a supplement that naturally increased health and well being, as well as helping people to reach their weight and body composition goals.

All of my knowledge and research has finally come to fruition in LipoFlush, the first of a new generation of supplements incorporating the latest in fat loss knowledge and technology.

This amazing, patent-pending formula produces an entirely new level of effectiveness never before seen in the diet supplement industry. In fact, it is the first product ever to look at all aspects of weight loss and contains dozens of ingredients that work synergistically to maximize fat loss. The individual ingredients and the synergy of ingredients in this researchdriven formula have been proven to affect your metabolism to produce unprecedented fat loss, without the use of ephedra, and without causing any negative health effects.

LipoFlush is the culmination of my four decades of research and involvement in the sports and weight/fat loss fields. LipoFlush is a true fat loss breakthrough that is unequaled in its ability to attack fat metabolism at several levels and bring the fastest possible fat-loss and muscle-sparing results.

The combinations of choline and carnitine, guarana and CLA, HCA, carnitine and fumarate, and yerba mate, also combined with guarana , are but four examples of the interactive science behind LipoFlush.

And it's not just what's in LipoFlush that's important, it's what's not in it as well. In looking at the possible list of ingredients, I eliminated those that I felt were useless, but that are the backbone of many of the weight loss supplements.

For example, a recent study looked at the effectiveness of chitosan as a weight loss product, based on the exaggerated claims that it traps dietary fat before it's absorbed into the body and thus takes hundreds of calories out of the equation.2

The study found that chitosan, in the dosages present in these formulations, was far from being a fat trapper and only accounted for one gram of fat per day - that's a whooping 9 calories a day taken out of the equation. The authors of the study concluded that "The fat trapping claims associated with chitosan are unsubstantiated." I concluded that it wasn't worth including chitosan in the LipoFlush formulation.

Ditto for the so called carbohydrate blockers such as phaseolus vulgaris extracts since any appreciable carb blocking effects that results from high doses is tied in with decreased absorption of protein, peptides and amino acids.

1. Choline and Carnitine - the Dynamic Duo for Fat Loss

Choline and carnitine are commonly used nutritional supplements, usually used alone or in combination and usually for the purposes of fat loss. Carnitine is essential for fatty acid transport and proper muscle function, and some studies have shown that carnitine supplementation improves exercise performance.3 Choline is a lipotropic agent that prevents deposition of fat in the liver. It is an essential nutrient for humans by giving cell membranes structural strength and providing structure to cell membranes and is involved in the signaling across this membrane as well as synthesis and release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Like carnitine, choline supplementation may also improve physical performance.4

The possible synergistic interaction between carnitine and choline has been known for several years. A study on rats published a few years ago clearly showed that choline in combination with caffeine plus carnitine resulted in a significant conservation of carnitine and augmented exercise performance and promoted fatty acid oxidation as well as disposal in urine.5 As well, the use of the three supplements resulted in two other beneficial effects, a decrease in blood triglycerides and an increase in the triglyceride content of skeletal muscles. Since muscle fat is used to supply energy to exercising muscles, and actually increases muscle size, much like glycogen, this is a whole different thing to increasing fat in subcutaneous skin and other fatty areas of the body. The increase in intramuscular fat also helps endurance and recovery and would be useful on any diet.

But there's more to the story. A new study has shown that choline and carnitine supplementation alters carnitine status, body fat and biochemical markers of fat oxidation in humans.6 In this study nineteen women were placed in three groups: 1) placebo, choline or carnitine preloading period of 1 wk followed by 2) supplementation with choline plus carnitine during wk 2-wk 3 and 3) all groups exercised in wk 3.

There were several interesting results of this study outlining the effects of choline, and choline plus carnitine supplementation. Without going into all the details the study showed that the choline-induced decrease in serum and urinary carnitine is buffered by carnitine preloading, and these supplements shift tissue partitioning of carnitine that favors fat mobilization, incomplete oxidation of fatty acids and disposal of their carbons in urine as acylcarnitines in humans.

Flushing out fat in the urine has another interesting and useful effects for those trying to lose body fat. Flushing out fat in the form of acetylcarnitines acts as an osmotic diuretic and increases urine flow, in some people more than others. LipoFlush seems to have much more of a diuretic effect on people who are retaining fluid in the first place. It does not affect the serum electrolytes (I've checked serum levels of several electrolytes and minerals and found not change in the sodium levels, but improved levels of potassium, calcium and magnesium) does not dehydrate the body.

As such, LipoFlush, along with its effects on appetite and fat loss, may be effective in decreasing fluid retention, a problem often seen in people dieting. As well, LipoFlush is the ideal cutting or definition supplement for bodybuilders or anyone who wants to minimize bodyfat and not have their definition blurred by water retention.

You can minimize fluid retention by cutting down on salt intake - avoiding foods heavy in salt and use of the salt shaker, and in the more severe cases using medication such as prescription diuretics. However, LipoFlush, because of its diuretic like action, may naturally decrease fluid retention and improve symptoms.

The diuretic effect of LipoFlush is also easily controlled since it is dependent to some extent on fluid intake. Taking in more water (keep away from diet pops and other drinks that have salt in them) increases this diuretic effect while curtailing water intake decreases it.

The bottom line is that choline and carnitine supplementation increased fat loss by both increasing the breakdown and burning of body fat and, interestingly enough, actually flushing fat (in the form of acetylcarnitines, which are actually chunks of fatty acids combined with carnitine) into the urine and out of the body. In this latter action it's as close as you can get to being the nutritional supplement equivalent of liposuction. LipoFlush will literally flush the fat right out of your body.

2. CLA and Guarana Combo

This combo has been shown to not only decrease the size of fat cells but also to decrease cell number.

Both CLA and guarana have been shown to increase weight and fat loss and improve body composition. For example, studies in mice fed CLA showed a marked reduction in body fat and an increase in body protein levels (DeLany JP, Blohm F, Truett AA, Scimeca JA, West DB. Conjugated linoleic acid rapidly reduces body fat content in mice without affecting energy intake. Am J Physiol 1999 Apr;276(4 Pt 2):R1172-R1179.). Other animal studies demonstrated similar or even better results.

But CLA has marked effects in humans as well. A study published in the International Journal of Obesity (August 2001), found that those who were given CLA for a four week period had significant decreases in abdominal fat.

Even more revealing, however, is the synergism shown by the combination of guarana (from a plant found in the Amazon and used for it's effects on decreasing appetite and increasing weight loss) and CLA. While studies have shown that CLA can reduce the volume of fat cells, in one study two groups of mice given CLA or CLA plus guarana had a significant reduction in fat mass. However, the group of mice that were fed the CLA/guarana combination not only showed a decrease in the size of the fat cells but also a decrease in the number of fat cells (FASEB Journal, v. 16, no. 5, pt. I; March 22, 2002).

Because of its effect on decreasing the number of fat cells, this combo contributes to the liposuction effect of LipoFlush.

3. Hydroxycitrate (HCA), Carnitine and Fumarate

Laboratory research suggests that garcinia cambogia extract or HCA may be an effective compound for promoting weight loss. It is believed that HCA acts in several different ways. It is an effective appetite suppressant, and also limits the production of cholesterol and fatty acids in the body. It is also believed to raise body temperature to act in a thermogenic manner. HCA has also recently been shown to suppress weight regain.

HCA is not one of the new kids on the block. Over the last 30 years there has also been a lot of research on HCA and it's effects on fat metabolism, with even the early research looking at its effects on fat metabolism.7

Theoretically, because HCA decreases the 2-carbon pool necessary for the formation of fat, and increases certain enzymes that promote fat oxidation, it should increase fat oxidation and decrease fat formation. In fact, several studies have shown that these effects do occur. For example, in one study, HCA and other tricarboxylic acids were shown to inhibit fatty acid synthesis from body glycogen without affecting protein synthesis.8 Studies have also shown that HCA has appetite suppressant effects, especially if taken prior to meals.9

Even though its use in weight loss is supported by animal studies, where it appears to act (by a mechanism which is not yet clear, although some studies have implicated a serotonin connection) by reducing food intake, much of the research on the effects of HCA on appetite and body composition has been inconclusive and in some cases showed no effects, especially in humans. As well, there's been a lack of studies that show significant long lasting effects on weight loss and total fat formation and oxidation.

Over the past few years, however, this situation has changed. A recent study on humans has shown that 2 weeks of taking as little as 300 mg of HCA three times a day reduced 24 hour energy intake in obese humans with no increase in hunger.10

Another recent study has shown that HCA has sustained long-term effects in rats on various parameters of weight loss and hunger.11 An interesting finding in this study is that the fat content of the diet seemed to be important for the long-term suppressive effect of HCA on feeding. HCA had little effect on rats that were on a very low fat diet.

The bottom line is that HCA has the potential to decrease appetite and weight and fat loss and, along with a proper diet, exercise and other targeted nutritional supplements, should be part of any serious weight and fat loss regimen.

But there's more!

A recent pilot study showed that the use of hydroxycitrate (HCA), carnitine and pyruvate to obese subjects resulted in a remarkable rate of body-fat loss and thermogenesis,12 which pointed to an uncoupling of fatty-acid oxidation - that is the energy from the burning of fat was thrown off mostly as heat, and thus took some fat out of the metabolic equation.

In LipoFlush I've combined HCA with carnitine fumarate. I believe that fumarate has an advantage over pyruvate in that it is a more direct Tricarboxlyic Acid cycle (TCA cycle) intermediate resulting in an anapleurotic increase in TCA cycle intermediates and an increased TCA cycle flux.

The increased flux, combined with the activation of fatty acid oxidation induced by HCA and carnitine, increases fat breakdown and the oxidation of fatty acids, along with an increase in uncoupling protein. The overall result is an increase in fat breakdown and an increase in heat production from the metabolism of fat.

4. Yerba Mate Combo

Researchers in Switzerland performed a study on human subjects (in 1999) that indicated yerba mate could be beneficial as a weight-loss aid. They noticed a thermogenic effect in healthy individuals where a drop in respiratory quotient was observed-indicating a rise in the proportion of fat oxidized.

In another study, yerba mate was given in combination with the plants guaraná and damiana. This combination prolonged gastric emptying (which made the subjects feel "fuller" longer) and significantly reduced body weight in overweight people over a 45 day period (Andersen T, Fogh J. Weight loss and delayed gastric emptying following a South American herbal preparation in overweight patients. J Hum Nutr Diet 2001 Jun;14(3):243-50.).

Clinical studies indicate yerba mate leaf inhibits lipoxygenase. Yerba mate extracts also have been shown to relax smooth muscle, act as a choleretic (increase bile flow), and inhibit vasoconstriction.

Yerba mate has significant antioxidant activity, demonstrated in numerous studies. Its high antioxidant values are linked to rapid absorption of known antioxidant phytochemicals found in mate leaves. An infusion (tea) of the leaf has been demonstrated to inhibit lipid peroxidation-particularly LDL (low-density lipoprotein) oxidation. p> Another study in vitro has shown yerba mate to inhibit the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), with an effect comparable to that of two pharmaceutical AGE inhibitor drugs.

While the above ingredients and combinations have been shown to dramatically decrease body fat and improve body composition, there's much more to LipoFlush as every ingredient in the formulation has a targeted effect on fat loss.

5. Guggulsterone and Phosphate Combo - Support for the Metabolism and Thyroid

As we mentioned above, your body reacts to decreasing calorie intake, and what it believes is impending starvation, by putting in place three main survival mechanisms.

Number one it decreases your metabolic rate, mainly by decreasing the amount and activity of thyroid hormone, and number two it increases your appetite and cravings so that anything that's even remotely edible is gobbled up. The third mechanism is by decreasing the action of neurotransmitters in the brain, with the purpose of decreasing energy output and metabolism.

Unfortunately your body by putting itself in survivor mode counteracts and even sabotages your weight loss efforts.

Various ingredients in LipoFlush are meant to counteract all three of these mechanisms. We've already mentioned several ingredients that decrease appetite and we'll mention more below.

Several ingredients in LipoFlush optimize and increase thyroid hormone activity and increase metabolic rate. For example, phosphates, guggulsterones Z and E, and kelp, promote thyroid function, increase the metabolic rate and support thermogenesis. All actions that promote fat breakdown and oxidation.

Studies have shown guggulsterones to have thyroid stimulating activity, and increases thyroid efficiency by increasing the conversion of the less active T-4 to the more active T-3.13,14 The use of guggulsterones has been shown to result in a decrease in body fat, and to also support healthy cholesterol levels.15

LipoFlush also contains substantial amounts of natural phosphates, in the form of calcium and potassium phosphates, which have also been shown to prevent a decrease in T-3 and increase the BMR.

And there's more good news. The combination of guggulsterones and phosphates has been recently shown to optimize body composition in adults.16

6. Neurotransmitter Precursors

As mentioned above, dieting tends to decrease neurotransmitter levels in the central nervous system resulting in lowered metabolic rate, decreased activity, hunger and fatigue.

LipoFlush counters this by providing tyrosine, DMAE, and various choline compounds including choline and lecithin, ingredients that increase neurotransmitter function and increase energy, activity and well being as well as decreasing appetite. Tyrosine, an amino acid, is also a precursor for thyroid hormone. As well, choline and inositol act as lipotropic agents and increase fat metabolism.

7. Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12), Vitamin B6 and Folic Acid, for Increased Health and Energy.

LipoFlush contains high doses of Folic acid, Vitamin B6 and methylcobalamin, the biologically active form of B12 (not the cyanocobalamin, the synthetic and not as metabolically active form of B12 that is generally used), increases energy and health.

There is so much to say about the effects that this trio has on metabolism, macronutrient metabolism, energy systems, and on combating the adverse effects of pollution and mercury toxicity, that I'll be covering this in the near future in a separate article.

Suffice it to say that the health effects of all three of these B vitamins have been extensively documented. And that several of the medical parameters, such as homocysteine, cholesterol and C-Reactive Protein, are decreased by the use of hefty doses of these vitamins, and by some of the other ingredients in LipoFlush.

Other Ingredients

While the ingredients we've already mentioned far outclass any weight loss supplement on the market today, both in the science behind the product and effectiveness, LipoFlush has many other ingredients that act to further increase fat breakdown and oxidation, increase metabolic rate and thermogenesis, decrease appetite and provide you with nutrients that increase energy, well being and health. We'll look at some of these below.

Cordyceps sinensis is a highly valued medicinal mushroom that helps increase stamina, energy levels, and endurance, and by these actions leads to increased fat loss.

Citrus aurantium is widely used for stimulating the breakdown of fat, by causing the release of noradrenaline (a stress hormone) at beta-3 receptor sites creating chemical reactions that increase fat breakdown. Beta-3 receptors in the body increase the rate at which fat is released from the body stores (lipolysis) and increase resting metabolic rate (thermogenesis) Physical activity will increase this thermogenic effect and further enhance the thermogenic effect of Citrus Aurantium towards healthy and permanent weight and fat loss.

Extracts from citrus aurantium contain a rare combination of five adrenergic amines: synephrine, N-methyltyramine, hordenine, octopamine, and tyramine. These amines stimulate beta-3 cell receptors with minimal effect on other alpha and beta-receptors. This could indicate that citrus aurantium increases metabolic rate without affecting heart rate or blood pressure.

Stimulation of these beta-3 receptors elicits the breakdown of fat. Simultaneously, this stimulation causes an increase in the metabolic rate - thermogenesis - that burns calories. Citrus aurantium may also act as an appetite suppressant.

Chromium enhances insulin sensitivity and decreases insulin resistance, and helps you to lose body fat.

One of the most frustrating aspects of being overfat is that your body has become conditioned to converting excess calories, especially in high carbohydrate intake, into body fat. Part of the problem with this fat conditioning involves insulin. The problem is that as you gain more body fat you become more insulin resistance so that you need more insulin to do the same job as when you had less body fat. This increase in insulin decreases your ability to use body fat as fuel, and stores more energy as body fat. The end result is a fatter you.

Chromium helps to increase insulin sensitivity and thus your body's ability to burn off body fat as a preferred fuel, and decreases body fat production.

Although most diets just barely provide the RDA for chromium, for many it's not enough to make up for daily losses, especially if they exercise. With LipoFlush you get another 50 mcg per day (using two doses daily), so that you have all the chromium you need for fat loss purposes.

But not any kind of chromium is OK. For example the most commonly used form of chromium, chromium picolinate, has potential adverse effects associated with its use.17 The amino acid chelate form of chromium used in LipoFlush, is a readily absorbable and biologically active form of chromium that enhances insulin sensitivity, without side effects.

Biotin, one of the twelve B vitamin, increases the metabolism of carbs and fats.

Magnesium octadecanoate increases fat metabolism in rat liver and may have a similar effect in humans.18

Siler extract is a source for Bofu-tsusho-san, a compound with thermogenic and lipolytic properties.19,20

Caffeine, kola nut, ginseng, theobroma cocoa complex and green tea increase energy and thermogenesis, decrease appetite and increase fat oxidation. For example, green tea has been found to elevate energy expenditure in humans.21

Potassium helps correct the potassium loss often seen with dieting. Loss of potassium can lead to fatigue and lethargy, which can be counterproductive to dieting.

Cellulose and cellulose gum act to decrease appetite and decrease fat absorption. Also, unlike soluble fibers, these insoluble fibers do not increase short chain fatty acids formation and absorption from the bowels.

Several of the ingredients in LipoFlush, such as cayenne, Hawthorne berry, ginger root, and quercetin, are either thermogenic and/or supportive to weight loss either directly, or indirectly by providing certain health benefits.

Grape seed extract, green tea, and quercetin are potent antioxidants and help decrease the effects of restrictive diets on oxidant stress and on antioxidant status.

CLA, magnesium, green tea and biotin increase insulin sensitivity and thus decrease lipogenesis and increase fat breakdown.

Bioperine, a patented preparation of the black pepper thermogen, piperine, has demonstrated the ability to improve the absorption of nutrients. This result in less degradation of the active compounds; thereby ensuring higher percentages get through to work their magic!

LipoFlush - The Nutritional Equivalent to Liposuction

What better way to lose body fat than to simply make it disappear? This is the promise of liposuction and in fact it does deliver somewhat as liposuction is one of the most effective ways to decrease body fat. But it has some serious problems to overcome before it becomes everyone's favorite way to lose body fat.

The good thing about liposuction is that it basically takes fat out of the metabolic equation. You don't have to worry about the calories in that fat since it's physically removed. Up to now any other method of losing body fat has involved increasing the calorie deficit by either exercising or dieting, and usually both, so that the fat is burned as fuel to make up the calorie deficit.

But liposuction has its problems. First of all liposuction is a surgical procedure and like all surgery, it carries inherent morbidity and mortality risks - you can get sick and even die from the surgical procedure alone. Also liposuction is best used for small problem areas. In fact it doesn't do that good a job on large areas since it can leave the areas looking lumpy and uneven. And doing large areas carries much more risk. And last of all liposuction doesn't just suck out your body fat, it can also suck your wallet dry.

Wouldn't it be much nicer if you could just take the fat out of the equation, the same way that liposuction does, but do it naturally? And wouldn't it also be nice if you could take the fat off in the problem areas and everywhere else at the same time, and not have to mortgage your house to do it?

Well now you can. Not only does LipoFlush help you to burn off the fat more efficiently, it also flushes some of your fat out of your body and takes that fat, just like liposuction does, out of the metabolic equation. Like liposuction, LipoFlush can make some of your fat simply disappear, but unlike liposuction, LipoFlush can do it in the problem areas and also evenly all over your body, leaving you with an aesthetic looking body with just the right look. And it's affordable. In fact, given the high cost of the ingredients in LipoFlush, never mind the work that's gone behind this innovative product, it's a real bargain.

Where's the Proof?

Although LipoFlush is a brand new product and nothing like it has ever been on the market, I've conducted several clinical studies and have had feedback from hundreds of people who have used LipoFlush.

The clinical studies, although informal, have been done on several groups of people and new ones are underway. In the first group that tried LipoFush I didn't have them change their lifestyle, training or even their diet. All they did is use 4 tabs of LipoFlush twice a day.

The results were extremely interesting. All six lost weight, mostly body fat, without changing what they were doing except taking the LipoFlush. One chap, lost 25 lbs in four weeks but on questioning him further I found that he cheated. He felt the LipoFlush working, liked the way he felt, and wanted to help the process along. So he trained harder and put himself on my Radical Diet, an extreme very low calorie version of my Metabolic Diet.

The other five lost anywhere from 6 to 16 lbs in the four weeks without appreciably changing what they did. Needless to say they were really pleased with the results. There was one bias in this group of six people in that they were really charged up about going on the LipoFlush and expected great things from it. As such, it's difficult to remove the placebo effect from this group and they might have lost significant amounts of weight even without the LipoFlush. Ideally I would have had two groups who were nearly identical in everything except that one group would take the LipoFlush and the other pills that looked like LipoFlush but without any active ingredients.

The second group of people were slightly different and put on a protocol that was more hands on. All six were already training and were in a steady state, no change in body composition for at least a month prior to going on the LipoFlush. In this group I increased their training load and made some changes in the macronutrient content of their diet. I had them follow the Metabolic Diet at a slightly reduced calorie intake than what they were on before taking the LipoFlush. The 4 week results on these six people were as follows:

They showed an average of just over one pound of fat loss every three days for the full four weeks, with the total fat loss averaging out at 10 lbs. These changes were arrived at this through the use of body fat measurements and total body weight done once a week, usually Saturday morning.

Weight loss over the four weeks was interesting. At first there was an average weight loss of almost one pound a day for the first five days. After that most of the people didn't lose much more weight. In fact the overall weight loss was less than 5 lbs, which means they gained muscle mass while at the same time losing weight.

Subjectively all six felt better, more energetic, and had better training sessions.

Now these are not dramatic weight and fat losses. But you have to keep in mind that all six of the subjects were in shape and didn't go on a strict weight loss diet, they just followed the Metabolic Diet as far as cycling their macronutrient intake with a daily calorie intake of only about 200 calories less than their diet prior to going on the LipoFlush.

Although all of this is pretty informal, it's obvious that LipoFlush can help you lose significant amounts of body fat, even if you don't do anything else different. And even more important, it can help you lose a lot more if you diet and exercise.

Even more impressive are the dozens of unsolicited testimonials that people have sent me. People in all walks of life, men and women, teens, boomers and the elderly, including bodybuilders and even endurance athletes, have found LipoFlush to dramatically decrease their body fat and increase their energy levels.

On the other end of the scale, several women who gained weight after having a baby but were unable to take it off no matter what they did, found that LipoFlush was able to help them get their figures back.

LipoFlush Does It All

  • Decreases fat absorption.
  • Increases body fat breakdown or lipolysis, releasing fat into the circulation.
  • Decreases fat formation, or lipogenesis (fat creation).
  • Reverses the effects that cutting back on calories has on the body by normalizing thyroid hormone and metabolic rate, increasing the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation, and decreasing hunger.
  • Suppresses appetite.
  • Keeps your metabolism going 24 hours a day so that you lose and burn fat even while you sleep.
  • Keeps energy levels high by correcting any metabolic dysfunction and optimizing energy and macronutrient cycles.
  • Increases energy output by increasing heat production.
  • Flushes fat from your body, and decreases the number of fat cells, much like liposuction.
  • Increases energy and subsequently the burning of fat by optimizing mitochondrial function and increasing TCA cycle flux for maximum fat burning.
  • Preserves or even increases muscle mass. Subsequently enhances fat oxidation to supply the energy needed for protein synthesis and metabolism.
  • Decreases homocysteine levels in the body.
  • Reduces levels of C-reactive protein.
  • Increases insulin sensitivity and decreases insulin resistance.
  • Increases systemic levels of B12, folic acid and B6 to offset any deficiencies in these vitamins, leading to increased mental and physical energy and feelings of well being.
  • Maintains healthy cholesterol and triglycerides levels, while at the same time favorably affecting HDL and LDL levels
  • Increases calcium availability. Recent studies have shown that increased calcium, whether in the diet or by way of calcium supplements, results in lower body fat. LipoFlush contains over 400 mg of calcium in every dose.22
LipoFlush represents a quantum leap in fat loss supplements. It's the first supplement that effectively decreases body fat by working at all the relevant metabolic, absorption and excretion levels, while at the same time providing substantial health benefits.

LipoFlush can be used by anyone who wishes to lose body fat. Most people who are just interested in losing weight while at the same time looking trim and toned will find LipoFlush ideal for them.

Athletes looking to maximize functional muscle mass and strength and minimizing body fat will find that LipoFlush is the perfect supplement to complement their training.

And bodybuilders looking to maximize muscle mass while taking body fat levels to the absolute minimum will find that LipoFlush is the perfect supplement to maximize their diet and training efforts, especially when in their cutting and pre-competition training phases.

The bottom line is that my revolutionary new, ephedra/ephedrine-free LipoFlush is by far the best fat loss supplement on the market today. If you question this statement compare the ingredients in LipoFlush with ANY OTHER product on the market today and you'll be convinced.

So if you want maximum fat loss, maximum muscle retention, and a healthy and vibrant body and mind, then LipoFlush is the perfect supplement for you!
