Lose 28 lbs easily? Its true using Irvingia Gabonensis.

The herb is called Irvingia Gabonensis.

This study was published in the journal Lipids in Health and Disease. [1] Researchers recruited both overweight and obese people to participate in the study. They were divided into two groups.

The first group supplemented with 150mg of Irvingia twice a day.The second group was given a placebo.

Here's the cool part: Both groups maintained the SAME diet and amount of physical exercise.

The study lasted ten weeks and at the start of the study, researchers measured starting body weight and the following BASELINE blood levels:

1. Total Cholesterol (both LDL and HDL)
2. Fasting Glucose
3. Leptin
4. Adiponectin
5. C-reactive protein

So what happened?

The group taking the Irvingia supplement twice a day lost 28 pounds of body weight!

The placebo group only lost 1 measly pound.

And hang onto your hat... because the Irvingia group's ending blood tests were just as amazing.

Fasting glucose DROPPED by a whopping 22%... total cholesterol DOWN 26%... LDL ("bad") cholesterol REDUCED by 27%...C-reactive protein PLUMMETED by 52%.

All in less than 3 months! That's pretty incredible for a single herb.

More human studies need to be done, to be sure. But so far, it looks very promising.

For example, another study investigated the effect of Irvingia on rats that were made to have diabetes. One single oral dose of Irvingia lowered the rats' plasma glucose just two hours after it was administered. [2]

And yet another double-blind human study recruited forty participants. Again, they were divided into two groups. One received Irvingia while the other received a placebo. Both groups maintained their normal caloric intake.

After just 30 days, the Irvingia group lost a whopping 12.3 pounds. And just like in the other human study I told you about, the Irvingia group had SIGNIFICANT reductions in total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides. [3]

You can most likely find Irvingia extract at your local heath food store. I'd suggest taking the amount used in the first study I mentioned, which is 150mg, twice daily.

Irvingia Gabonensis.... the truth.

When I read this amazing study about Irvingia Gabonensis.... I had to do soome follow up research. I didn't have to look much further than our own Outstanding Nutritionist MariEtta Parrish RD, LDN, CSSD She explained that is does IN FACT WORK!! It is basically a good dose of soluble fiber, which may help people lose weight and indeed has been proven to lower cholesterol.

However, it is not recommended that you take it more than a month as long term studies have not been done and cannot show how it might affect long term nutrient retention. This is a concern because this supplement basically acts like a laxative, which is why it is effective.

Besides nutrient deficiencies from long term use, it also may cause laxative dependence and poor fluid absorption and absorption by your bowels. However, if one wanted to supplement this or a laxative for a month, if they can handle the effects, they would lose more weight. It may be worth some individuals who are really interested to try it and see how they tolerate it short term to boost their weight loss efforts. The article does skew the actual results some what. Placebo lost ~1.5 lbs. after a month, compared to supplement folks that lost ~4.5 lbs. after a month.

The supplement did have positive blood lipid effects, but did not lower body fat. Therefore, this study suggests that weight lost was mostly muscle and water.

You 'll want to make sure you maintain your muscle through any and every weightloss program through a strength training program or workouts. It doesn't have to be big bulky body building, there are some really healthy ways to have serious weightloss while keeping your muscle in a healthy way.
