The Healthy Weight Loss Formula with TAIslim and TAIslim Skinnys

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

This is taken from information presented by Chief Product Officer Rick Handel. If you want a healthy weight loss program that helps you lose real fat and not just water or even worse muscle, then read on.
Listen to People’s Stories of How TAIslim has Helped them Lose Weight

If losing weight was easy, nobody would be overweight. But losing weight is hard work, and that’s why so many people are attracted to anything that sounds like a quick solution to their problem.

Look on the Internet or on the shelves of your local pharmacy, and you’ll find a dizzying array of pills, potions, patches, and herbal teas – all promising to make you as slim as models or celebrities. From so many offerings, how do you choose? A good first step is to ask yourself this question: Is this product or program healthy or unhealthy?

If you choose an unhealthy way, you’ll probably gain the weight back after you finish the plan.

Here are some of the unhealthy weight loss methods that you should avoid:

ULTRA LOW-CALORIE DIETS. If your body doesn’t get enough calories, it can’t function properly. Your body will cannibalize itself by eating its own muscle, vital organ tissue, and even bone. Long-lasting consequences can include various illnesses, immune suppression, weak bones, brain and nerve damage, and even death.

UNBALANCED OR “FAD” DIETS. These diets are unhealthy because they eliminate entire food groups, which deprives your body of key nutrients it needs to function.

UNPROVEN DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS. Unfortunately, the dietary supplement industry is not required to conduct clinical studies to support weight loss claims. The vast majority of weight loss supplements have not been clinically proven. They may contain ingredients that are of dubious value, even contaminants.

DRUGS. Diet drugs can contain harsh amphetamine-like stimulants designed to trick your metabolism into running in overdrive. When you stop taking the drug, you can suffer from withdrawal symptoms and you’ll quickly regain the weight.

LAXATIVES. Some people believe that laxatives can prevent absorption of foods that you eat. That’s not true. All the calories of the ingested food have already made it to the bloodstream by the time the laxative takes effect. The only weight loss from laxatives is water weight. The downside is that laxatives can be habit forming, and they can cause a wide range of physical problems.

The Key to Healthy Weight Loss

Science knows that the key to healthy weight loss is to eat a well-rounded diet with foods from all food groups, and to take in fewer calories every day than you burn. If you’re like most people, you’ve tried to follow this advice, but you just couldn’t stick to it. But now, there’s the TAIslim Total Body System. This program features easy-to-follow meal planning and healthy lifestyle recommendations, but the real advantage of the TAIslim System is its innovative, scientifically formulated and clinically validated nutritional products, which work with your body to make it easier than ever to cut calories and burn unwanted fat.

TAIslim® weight loss liquid utilizes FreeLife’s groundbreaking clinical science and triple patent pending formulation and technology to help you reach and maintain a healthy weight in four important ways:

1. Fights dangerous abdominal fat
2. Safely enhances metabolic fat burning
3. Controls appetite
4. Cleanses and replenishes your system

TAIslim® SKINNYs™ (weight loss nuggets) are delicious sugar-free chocolate nuggets that actually help you to lose weight. Backed by more than 100 studies validating the effectiveness of its key ingredients, a SKINNY, when taken with at least 8 ounces of water, gently expands in your stomach, filling you up and keeping you feeling satisfied for hours. A SKINNY acts as a “fat magnet,” effectively binding and removing unwanted fat and cholesterol from your gastrointestinal tract. SKINNYs are also great for improving regularity and are the perfect alternative to between-meal and late-night snacks.

FreeLife’s clinical studies on the TAIslim System have shown significantly greater weight loss than with diet and exercise alone. And unlike unhealthy weight loss methods, you’ll lose fat, not lean muscle, with TAIslim. And, studies have shown that those who lose fat, especially around the midsection, can minimize their risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. Plus, you’ll look and feel great!

So here’s to your health, and to finding and maintaining a healthy weight for life with the TAIslim Total Body System!

Freelife and TAIslim Worldwide Leader in Weight Loss Goal

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Freelife recently (just last month) set a new five-year goal and made another bold prediction. Within five years, FreeLife will become “The Worldwide Leader in Healthy Weight Loss.” This goal is the most significant and important goal they have ever set as a Company. Here’s why:
TAIslim increases calories burned
1. First – The obesity epidemic is the most significant health challenge that the world currently faces. According to a U.S. government-sponsored panel of nutrition and health experts, “Obesity is the single greatest threat to public health in this century.” Think about that for a moment. The “single greatest threat to public health in this century.” As a health and wellness company, it has been our commitment since Day 1 to serve our Customers with breakthrough health products that can change their lives for the better. But now, as a Company, we are totally focused on addressing the single largest health problem in the world. Being overweight is associated with dramatic increases in heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke, arthritis, and depression. In the U.S. alone, more than 300,000 deaths each year are associated with obesity. By addressing the core issue of obesity, our impact on overall worldwide health will be stunning.

2. Second – the overweight/obesity epidemic is an enormous and growing challenge. Eight out of 10 adults in the U.S. over the age of 25 are overweight or obese. Yes, 80 percent! And those numbers are very similar in many other countries around the world. In the U.S. alone, the weight loss market is nearly $70 billion a year! Over the past 40 years, the obesity rate has increased dramatically and is expected to continue to increase for the foreseeable future. It’s our responsibility as a Company to offer people a safe, healthy, easy-to-follow solution to address this enormous challenge.

TAIslim: Science, Results, and Taste

The TAIslim Weight Loss Total Body System is based on three core components: 1. Great Science; 2. Great Results; and 3. Great Taste.

TAIslim Weight Loss Science
We are committed to “healthy,” scientifically validated weight management. It’s the only way to have great, long-term results. The weight loss market is currently filled with numerous fad diets that offer grand promises, but little in the way of results. From unproven pills, potions, patches, and herbal teas, to ultra low-calorie/unbalanced diets, cleanses, laxatives, and harsh drugs with numerous side-effects, it is no surprise that the obesity epidemic is only getting larger and larger and consumers are growing weary of hype without results.

No company we are aware of is as committed to scientifically validating the effectiveness of its weight management system as FreeLife. Our Scientific Team is unrivaled and led by our Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Haru Amagase and our Chief Product Officer Rick Handel. With additional support from Ph.D.s from leading universities, including Tufts, Illinois, California, Cornell, and Columbia, FreeLife’s Science Team stands above the crowd in bringing you a System that really works!

Let me fill you in on what is happening in the FreeLife Science area to prove my points. Two studies on the TAIslim Total Body System have been accepted for presentation at the Obesity Society annual meeting on October 9, 2010 in San Diego. One is for appetite suppression and another one is metabolism stimulation. Again, to be accepted for presentation, studies are rigorously reviewed by an independent board. Only the most scientifically validated studies make it for presentation.

Additional research under way includes several studies coming up for publication later this year demonstrating how the TAIslim System safely and effectively:

TAIslim Reduces body fat

Increases metabolic fat burning
Has a positive impact on normal blood pressure, blood sugar, and heart rate.
More and more health practitioners are becoming involved with FreeLife based on our scientific rigor and results. Here is what a few of them think of the TAIslim System:

“The TAIslim Total Body System is fantastic! I’ve lost 25 pounds on it and feel better than I have in years. FreeLife’s commitment to healthy weight loss is so refreshing at time when fad diets are all the rage. And best of all, this program works!”
Dr. Ron Friedman earned his medical degree from the University of California – San Francisco Medical School and did his anesthesia residency at Massachusetts General Hospital, which is part of Harvard Medical School. He has been in practice for more than 30 years.

“The obesity epidemic around the world is staggering in its size. The TAIslim Total Body System is the most significant and promising program I have ever seen to help people to lose weight and feel great. Fat melts away and people feel better than they have in years!”
Dr. Matt Silver is a board-certified family practice physician. He graduatedfrom the Howard University College of Medicine in 1975 and completed a residency in family practice at the Howard University Hospital in 1978.

“Finally, something that can help people lose weight and get into the best shape of their lives! The TAIslim Total Body System is backed by rigorous science and, unlike many of those faddiets, this program actually works!”
Dr. Sandra Boice earned her Ph.D. in clinical nutrition. Her doctoral research was funded by Christ Hospital in Illinois through the department of pediatric neurology where she worked with Attention Deficit Disorder children. She worked in private practice for 10 years.

Taislim Weight Loss Reduces Body Fat Study Shows

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

FreeLife’s Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Haru Amagase was recently invited to present our research at an important obesity conference in Washington, D.C. There, he demonstrated how TAIslim safely and effectively reduces body fat, increases metabolic fat burning, and has a positive impact on blood pressure, blood sugar, and heart rate.
The remarkable weight loss results seen with TAIslim have captured the attention of the international obesity research community.

Taislim chart BMI Body Mass Index losing inches
Study shows shows the positive effects of TAIslim on Body Weight, Waist Size, BMI, and Hip Size.

One controlled human clinical study clearly demonstrated
that a single serving of TAIslim yields a significant increase in
resting metabolic rate compared to 1 serving of coffee, green
tea, or competing products such as 5-Hour Energy*.†

An increase in resting metabolic rate reflects more calories burned, so it is a weight loss aid. Energy drinks can increase the resting metabolic rate, but TAIslim has shown a much more significant impact on energy level/calories burned. TAIslim is based on FreeLife’s original research on the ability of the goji berry to reduce unsightly and dangerous belly fat.†

“These results are very interesting and promising,” remarked Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge, noted obesity research expert and Assistant Professor at St. Luke’s/Roosevelt Hospital and New York Obesity Research Center at Columbia University. “The rise in energy expenditure with this goji-based product is interesting and suggests a mechanism by which it can assist in weight management.”

Being the Best Kobe vs Lebron and Best Colon Cleansing Fiber Products

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

Have you ever been so good at something people come to you for advice on a regular basis. Actually I don’t get asked enough about how I do what I do so I suppose I have a ways to go to be considered a guru expert. However, considering where I came from working as a janitor years ago I’ve definitely made some significant progress in this area…

Actually I want to talk to you about fiber – colon-cleansing products. Now before you go yuck and change the channel on me hear me out.

Have you seen the new commercials out that feature puppets (they look like muppets) of Basketball superstars, Lebron James and Kobe Bryant.

I can hear someone one out their screaming, I’d rather you talk about all the nasties that come out with a good colon cleansing fiber product than discuss basketball crap. All I can say is if you can indudge me for a second I’ll get from the basketball crap to what would appear to be your favorite type of crap.

Anyway if you haven’t seen the commercial of Lebron James and Kobe Bryant puppets they’re basically each trying to out do the other with zany antics of who’s the world’s greatest basketball player. (You can see them by going to youtube.com and searching on “kobe bryant lebron james commercial”.

The bottom line is they are both incredible basketball players and you could certainly make a case for who is best. I believe LeBron has more natural physical abilities but Kobe is the better player right now because he does more things well.

Which, leads us to a discussion of crap products and why I believe that the new Fiber-Max product is best colon cleansing Fiber product in the world.

I believe it is best because it does more things than other typical fiber-colon cleansing products. You may wonder why I have TAISlim before and after weight loss photos in an article about fiber. The reason is Fiber-Max works very well with TAIslim for those looking to lose weight.

Let’s look at all that the ingredients in Fiber-Max and what they do:

It contains Organic flax seed fiber- flax is rich in protective lignans. Flax is also a rich source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

It contains Konjac gluco-mannan a soluble fiber that when taken with water, absorbs several times its weight to form a gel that aids digestion and elimination. It also binds and removes fats and cholesterol-laden bile acids from the GI tract. Of course this helps cholesterol levels.

It contains NuFlora -this proprietary soluble dextrin fiber removes metabolic wastes and toxins, promotes regularity, improves immunity, and has a prebiotic action to support the growth and development of healthy intestinal flora.

It contains over 12 highly effective detoxifying herbs that provide gentle cleansing and removal of metabolic toxins can also be beneficial to colon health.

It also contains the most effective and well-studied probiotic lactospore. These helpful bacteria in Lactospore – also called probiotics – fight against harmful intestinal microbes, and they also produce short chain fatty acids that are vital to your immune defenses.

It also contains Ayurvedic Triphala Detoxifying Blend – this contains 3 special fruits for detoxifing – Bibitaki, Amalaki, and Harataki.

As an added bonus it contains whole fruit goji crystals (lycium barbarum) guar seed fiber and 350 mg of calcium.

Compare this to any other fiber – colon cleansing product on the market.

How Weight Loss Cleanses and Replenishes Your System

Friday, May 15th, 2009

Many experts believe that cleansing and replenishing your digestive system is essential for your weight loss success, and we agree. In fact, it’s an important feature of exclusive four-way action. To understand how it works, you first need to know about special proprietary fiber ingredient, Nuflora.

When most people think of fiber, they only think about something that helps with bowel regularity. But if you use the right kind of fiber, such as NuFlora-it can actually help you to lose weight, too. When you take with at least eight ounces of water, the NuFlora fiber becomes fully hydrated in your stomach and begins to co-mingle with your food. Because NuFlora is indigestible, it slows down the digestive process so that you don’t overload your bloodstream. Absorbing food more slowly is very beneficial, and it guarantees that your body can handle it without the stress of having to produce an overabundance of insulin. This is important, because insulin is a fat storing hormone, and producing too much of it is a primary factor in obesity.

NuFlora also helps to escort metabolic wastes and toxins from the body, and it has been clinically shown to promote regularity when used on a continuing basis. But the most interesting aspect of NuFlora is one that comes straight from the scientific headlines. Thanks to NuFlora, can help to rid your body of bad bacteria that may actually be causing you to gain weight!

A normal colon is populated with trillions of friendly bacteria. We call them the intestinal flora. These floras are also called probiotic bacteria – probiotic means “for life,” because you need them to live. They (probiotics) keep your colon healthy and free of Candida yeast and other harmful organisms, and they even help with maintaining a normal weight by improving your body’s ability to use insulin.

Some alarming new research from the renowned Mayo clinic is now showing that in many overweight people, their beneficial flora have been depleted and have been replaced with a nasty species called Firmicutes (fur-MICK-you-tees). The name may sound like something from Greek mythology, but Firmicutes are no myth. They’re real. They have an incredible ability to take your already digested food, extract more calories from it, and then store it as body fat. This is now a major focus of leading obesity researchers in the United States and in Europe.

Fortunately, you can get rid of those bad bacteria and restore the healthy flora with the NuFlora in TAIslim. NuFlora makes your normal probiotic bacteria stronger and better able to fight and get rid of the evil fat-storing invaders, but only if you take it consistently. Cleansing and replenishing your system is just one more great reason to take TAIslim every day!

The Mental Pain of Being Overweight, Be a Weight Loss Hero.

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

The mental pain of being overweight is certainly real. Chances are real good that if you’re reading this you are overweight or know someone who is. For someone who is not over weight it can be hard to sympathize or understand what overweight people go through. Perhaps understanding the pain these overweight people go through will help those of us who aren’t overweight be better able to support those we care about.

Plus to those who are overweight just knowing that there are people out here who care about you gives you something to draw on in the area of support.

I recently spoke with several severely overweight people, the following are some of the mental pains they felt due to being overweight.

  • Overweight individuals said they often felt in public that people stared at them, which made them feel uncomfortable.
  • Overweight people said they often felt ashamed for themselves – that felt their family, spouse and kids were ashamed of them because of their size.
  • People who considered themselves fat said that they don’t fell sexy and even feel ugly to the opposite sex.
  • Overweight women especially lack confidence and have poor self esteem and women especially don’t like their spouse to see them undressed.
  • Then there is the pain of their clothes fitting to tight and the pain especially with overweight women of shopping for clothes.
  • Then of course overweight people have told me they sense people are whispering behind their back, which of course just further damages their low self-esteem.
  • Fat, overweight people obviously tend to overeat, which makes them feel guilty about eating, which tends to depress them, which leads to further over eating and a vicious cycle of gaining weight.
  • Overweight people feel the major discomfort of feeling extra hot and miserable during the summer.

Then there is the pain of potential health issues.
Overweight people tend to worry and stress about their health. They often have low energy and shortness of breath. Certain activities like walking can be a real chore. Overweight people often have pain or discomfort in their joints especially their knees and their back because the extra weight they carry is adding extra stress on the knees and back.

The point is this is not about just about identifying the mental pains associated with being overweight so we can feel sorry for overweight people.

This is about helping those we care about finding a solution for maintaining a healthy weight. This could be in the form of exercise, treadmills, exercise equipment, weight loss supplements or whatever works in a healthy way.

A major factor why people don’t lose weight is lack of exercise and to a lesser degree the wrong types of exercise. For example a brisk walk on a treadmill can cause your body to go into the fat burning state called ketosis better than running.

Muscle mass in also very important in maintaining a healthy weight. This is why purchasing any number of the exercise machines on the market to do light resistance exercises is so effective in losing weight because it helps you add muscle mass. This doesn’t have to be massive amounts of weight, even light resistance amounts of weight can be effective at adding muscle mass contributing to weight loss.

This is why men and women who use an exercise machine in light resistance exercises 2-3 times a week for 15-20 minutes almost always lose weight when they combine this with their weight loss program. This has been our observation over the last 13 years or so.

Do not Distress Over Stress Take GoChi Goji Juice

Friday, June 27th, 2008

“Stress is life. Life is stress,” says Dr. Esther Sternberg, Director of the Integrative Neural Immune Program at the U.S. Government’s National Institute of Mental Health. You can’t avoid stress, but although you might think of it only in negative terms, a little bit of stress can actually add excitement to your life and it’s essential for keeping you motivated. Too much stress, however, leads to distress, and that, according to many health researchers, can have negative effects on your immune system. People in distress also tend to secrete an overabundance of the stress hormone cortisol, with numerous health consequences including heart disease, stroke, obesity, respiratory disease, chronic inflammation, sleep disturbances, migraine and tension headaches, and even accident proneness.

Distress can also affect your performance at work, at play, or at school. Dr. Elizabeth Droz, Director of Student Counseling at Binghamton University, lists some major causes of distress:

Change – Any change (either positive or negative) that requires adaptation to your daily routine can cause overproduction of the stress hormones that can lead to distress.

Attitudes – Negative, critical, fearful, and/or pessimistic attitudes about yourself or others can cause emotional distress. That can lead to “sickness behavior,” in which the sufferer loses interest in work, daily activities, and social interaction.

Poor Nutrition – An imbalanced diet causes physiological distress, reducing the body’s ability to maintain itself and to resist disease.

Lack of Physical Fitness – Exercise is more than just building muscle. It also tones the vital organs and promotes the flow of stress-fighting brain chemicals.

Other causes of distress include bad relationships, boredom, noise pollution, congested travel and living conditions, and economic pressures. All of these common conditions can wreak havoc on your health and well-being.

How can you help yourself to de-stress instead of distress? Here’s what the experts at the National Institutes of Health recommend:

  1. Identify the things in your life that cause you stress: relationship problems, conflict at work, a death or illness in the family. Once you know what’s stressing you out, you can begin to figure out ways to change your environment and manage your stressors.
  2. Take control of stressful situations. If there’s a problem that can be solved, it is better to solve it now than to let it become a chronic and distressing annoyance.
  3. Manage those chronic stressors that you can’t control. Support groups, relaxation, meditation, and exercise are all tools you can use to manage your stress. If nothing you do seems to work for you, seek a health professional who can help. Also seek professional help if you find that you worry excessively about the small things in life.
  4. Drink 4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi every day!

GoChi™ – Less stress reported in human clinical study in just 14 days!
Since ancient times, the goji berry has been helping generations of Asian people to deal with the stresses of daily life. No goji product is more potent than FreeLife’s GoChi, and now, in a recent human clinical trial reported in the peer-reviewed Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (JACM), participants drinking a daily serving of just 4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi reported significant reduction in stress in as little as 14 days!The publication of our study by the independent experts of a peer-reviewed publication such as JACM represents a first for a functional juice beverage in the Direct Selling industry, and it demonstrates FreeLife’s ongoing commitment to supporting its claims with solid scientific research.Here’s to managing the stress in your life!Your FreeLife Science Team
