Weight Loss Kit

Green tea (Camellia sinensis) is a pleasant beverage that has been gaining popularity in North America. Now with 1800 scientific studies behind it, we see how green tea can help us enjoy longer healthier lives. Green tea and its extracts may help prevent some types of disease, including hardening of the arteries, and are shown to support weight loss efforts.
 
Another natural nutrient Conjugated Linoleic Acid, or CLA, from safflower, has been shown to increase lean muscle mass and decrease body fat. That is why these two natural supplements are brought together in the Holista Health Weight Loss Kit to help you achieve your weight management goals faster and maintain a healthy weight more easily.
Green tea is rich in health-enhancing plant “polyphenols” that deliver many health benefits and support weight management by increasing the “burning” of calories and fat, and by increasing the ratio of fat burned for fuel, so more fat is burned. Certain compounds in green tea and green tea extract also reduce the amount of fat being absorbed by inhibiting digestive breakdown of fat in the body. An added benefit of taking a standardized green tea extract is that it appears to have a calming effect—which can be helpful if you’re trying to lose weight! 

Less Fat, More Muscle

While Green Tea Extract helps you burn fat and prevent fat storage, once fat has been digested and not “burned”, it can pile up on the body. CLA helps reduce body fat that has been absorbed and stored, by suppressing the enzyme responsible for fat break down. Research has shown that CLA causes an increase in lean muscle mass and a decrease in body fat. It also affects the way the body stores and uses energy, contributing to more efficient metabolism since muscle can burn more calories than fat.
A study in the International Journal of Obesity suggests that acid CLA could have long-term health benefits by preventing weight and fat gain from overeating and aging. Prof. Dale Schoeller, Ph.D., University of Wisconsin-Madison and an author of the double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, determined that participants taking CLA did reduce body fat by 2.2 pounds and their body weight by 1.3 pounds. Meanwhile those in the placebo group gained 1.5 pounds of body fat and 2.4 pounds of body weight during the test period. Participants followed “healthy lifestyle” advice, but did not increase their physical activity or follow a restricted diet. Researchers conducting the study concluded that CLA supplementation is safe and well-tolerated.
A 12-month study published by the Journal of Nutrition found that adults taking a CLA supplement lost as much as 9 percent of their body fat and, a year later, participants had not regained their body fat.
CLA is naturally found in dairy and some meats, but with changes in consumer eating habits, it can be difficult to obtain an optimal level of CLA without supplementation. To get three grams of CLA through food alone, an adult would have to consume more than four gallons of ice cream or 28 quarter-pound hamburgers each day! That's not going to help you lose weight!

The Holista Weight Loss Kit contains standardized Green Tea Extract and CLA, Conjugated Linoleic Acid, two natural compounds that work together to help you achieve and maintain your weight loss goals. Supplementation with CLA and Green Tea Extract will be most effective as part of a daily regimen that includes exercise and a reasonable diet.
