Yikes your Metabolism slows down 10% every 10 years over the age of 40. Here's how to fight back!!
Konjac Root Fiber - A root that helps you feel full! Take 30 minutes prior to eating and drink a big glass of water. Available at Costco under the trade name PGX
Shirataki Noodles - This incredible noodle is high in fiber and has no calories and tastes great...move over pasta!!! Available at health food stores.
L-Carnitine - Gives you energy and it takes fat from your body and pulls it into the cells to be used as energy. Take on an empty stomach (500 mg twice / day). Add Vitamin C for best results
White Kidney Bean Extract - Great for carb junkies! This is not a green light to eat bad!! But on that backyard BBQ party day, take this extract prior to a meal that carbs will be eaten at. The Carbs will not be broken down to sugars and will pass through your body. Available at health food stores.
Raspberry Ketone - This is from Red Raspberries and helps your body burn off fat, especially if you are working out. I have not been able to source this product in Canada yet (available in US or online). Try adding a bowl of raspberries to every meal!!
8 hours of Sleep nightly - Your body makes more GHRELIN (the hormone that says GO EAT MORE), your body makes less LEPTIN (the hormone that says STOP I'm FULL) and makes more CORTISOL (which BOOSTS YOUR APPETITE especially for bad carbs) when you are SLEEP DEPRIVED!
