Why we developed
Metabolic Thyrolean.
As a leader in the nutritional supplement
and sports nutrition industry, Prolab Nutrition has been helping men and
women achieve and maintain top physical condition for decades. Our customers
came to us expressing frustration with their weight loss programs. Many
shed pounds initially, but were unable to lose beyond a certain threshold
even though they continued to reduce their caloric intake and burn fat
through aerobic activity. It's a common problem with dieters, and we set
out to do something about it.
We focused our research on how major body
organs respond to a reduction in calories. We researched all the factors
that positively or negatively influence metabolism, and studied products
that are supposed to be "fat burners" or "fat blockers" to determine why
they lose effectiveness over time. We also researched natural nutrients
that may have an impact on fat metabolism without causing unwanted side
effects. Our research revealed some incredible findings.
What happens to your body when you
diet.
It's obvious that increasing exercise
will burn more calories, but why isn't exercise enough? Why does the body
slow its metabolism when you decrease your intake of calories? Doesn't
your body know that it needs to lose weight and cut body fat? These questions
can be answered by understanding that the body will always try to store
energy, and it stockpiles fat as a rich energy reserve. Therefore, when
your body senses that less food is being taken in, it tries to store as
much fat as possible in case it needs to convert that fat to energy later.
As your metabolism slows, you have to cut calories even more in order to
drop pounds. Again, your body adjusts your metabolic rate accordingly.
Pretty soon, the threshold is so low that shedding more pounds is nearly
impossible.
How does this happen? There are three body
organs responsible for the regulation of metabolism: the thyroid, liver
and brain. The thyroid gland is the major player in the regulation of your
body's metabolic rate. When the body senses a reduction in calories, it
reduces the conversion of the active thyroid hormone T3 (triiodothyronine)
from the less active T4 (thyroxine) hormone. T3 is about 5 times more active
than T4, so when the body slows the T3 conversion process the result is
a reduced metabolic rate. What results is slower metabolism and a halt
in weight loss. Much of the conversion of T4 to T3 takes place in the liver.
The liver regulates the storage of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which
are the energy molecules in our bodies produced by the foods we eat. When
we diet, ATP stores decline, and the liver senses that it needs to adjust
the thyroid conversion of T4 to T3 downward in order to store more energy.
Again, metabolism slows.
Finally, dieting affects brain chemicals
called neurotransmitters, which normally keep our metabolism going. The
foods we eat create substrates, or building blocks, for these neurotransmitters.
As the body senses that less food is being taken in, it knows there will
be fewer substrates to make neurotransmitters. The result: the brain adjusts
these neurotransmitters downward to reduce metabolism. This is a natural
way for the body to find a new threshold for the number of calories you're
eating.
How Metabolic Thyrolean works with
your body.
With these three powerful body organs
working together to decrease metabolism, how will you ever lose those extra
pounds?
Metabolic Thyrolean!" works
on all three regulatory areas involved in metabolism. In the thyroid, Metabolic Thyrolean!" improves the conversion of thyroid hormones, which
means that the more active hormones work for you instead of against you.
It also fools the liver into thinking that you are storing plenty of ATP,
which means that the liver has no reason to regulate your metabolism downward.
Finally, in the brain, Metabolic Thyrolean!" provides the substrates
to build neurotransmitters-without the need for calories. The final result
is that metabolism remains elevated, with a positive effect on metabolism,
calorie-burning and fat loss.
What's in it?
Metabolic Thyrolean!" contains
several ingredients that have been proven effective in regulating metabolism.
Certain plant-based herbal extracts have been shown to stimulate the output
of the thyroid hormones T3 and T4, which are necessary to prevent a decline
in metabolism from a reduction in calories. The best-known of these extracts
are guggul lipids, which contain the active ingredient guggulsterones.
In addition to stimulating the thyroid gland, guggul lipids also have been
shown to reduce cholesterol levels. Metabolic Thyrolean!" harnesses
the power of guggulsterones and puts them to work in fat loss.
But guggulsterones alone don't provide
the results. The results of Metabolic Thyrolean!" come from
the synergistic blend of guggulsterones and a special combination of mixed
phosphates-powerful technology that's so effective it's been patented and
cannot be duplicated.
In addition, Metabolic Thyrolean!"
contains L-Tyrosine, an amino acid that serves as an important building
block for natural stimulants found in your body-epinephrine, noropenephine
(better known as adrenaline), as well as certain thyroid hormones and dopamine.
L-Tyrosine is a natural stimulant and appetite depressant, which means
that there's no need to take caffeine or ephedrine-based "fat burners"
to achieve weight loss. Metabolic Thyrolean!" also contains
hydroxy citric acid (HCA), which studies have shown to block the enzyme
responsible for converting carbohydrates into stored body fat. HCA may
also act as an appetite suppressant.
Unlike many other diet products on the
market, Metabolic Thyrolean!" is all natural. In contrast to
"fat burner" pills, Metabolic Thyrolean!" contains no stimulants
like ephedrine or caffeine. Taking stimulants can be dangerous, but with Metabolic Thyrolean!", you'll avoid the unwanted side effects
that go hand-in-hand with them. Metabolic Thyrolean!" is the
safe, natural and effective way to lose weight healthfully.
The clinical study.
Many diet products promise results, but
with Metabolic Thyrolean!", that promise is backed by solid
clinical research on actual human subjects. Metabolic Thyrolean!"
is supported by an independent clinical trial that proves its effectiveness
in fat loss. According to a recent study conducted by medical doctors and
researchers, participants in the study lost 8.3 times more weight and 63%
more fat while dieting and exercising with Metabolic Thyrolean!".
Participants in the study using Metabolic Thyrolean!" lost weight without stimulants, starvation, excessive
training or negative side effects. In fact, they reported feeling more
energetic with less fatigue. In addition to losing weight, the Metabolic Thyrolean!" group felt less tired and in better moods than the
control and placebo groups. The study was a double-blind, placebo-controlled
investigation of 20 subjects following a reasonable 1,800-calorie-per-day
diet and a circuit training and aerobic program done three times a week
for 45 minutes.

Guggul
Lipids and your Thyroid
The Effects of Dieting & Your
Thyroid...
The thyroid gland is the major player
in the regulation of metabolic rate. When the body senses a reduction in
calories, there is a reduction in the conversion of the thyroid hormone
T4 to T3, thus slowing down the metabolism and reducing the effectiveness
of the diet. T3 is about 5 times more active than T4, so anything that
reduces the formation of T3 will cause a reduction in metabolism.
...Now with Metabolic Thyrolean!"
Natural plant herbal extracts called guggul
lipids, containing the active ingredient guggulsterones, have been shown
to stimulate the output of thyroid hormones T4 and T3 preventing the decline
in metabolic rate while dieting. Positively influencing the body to maintain
normal or elevated thyroid output while on a diet, will positively affect
the body's metabolic rate. The higher the metabolic rate, the more calories
are burned and the greater the fat loss.
Phosphates
and your Liver
The Effects of Dieting & Your
Liver...
Much of the conversion of thyroid hormones
takes place in the liver. When a person is eating normal levels of food
they have high storage levels of a molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
ATP is produced by the breakdown of food and is the only molecule our body
uses for fuel. When we diet, the ATP stores in the liver decline. As the
body senses this change it adjusts the thyroid output and conversion of
T4 to T3 downward. Therefore, thyroid hormone activity is partially regulated
by liver ATP levels.
...Now with Metabolic Thyrolean!"
Metabolic Thyrolean!" contains
a non-caloric substrate for the normal production of ATP. These substances,
called phosphates, are minerals found naturally in foods that we eat, and
help maintain liver ATP. When the body senses a normal level of liver ATP
it will think that you are eating plenty of food when in fact you are actually
on a diet. Metabolic Thyrolean!" contains a blend of mineral
phosphates to naturally maintain liver ATP levels to further assist thyroid
hormone output.
L-Tyrosine
and your Brain
The Effects of Dieting & Your
Brain...
There are chemicals in the brain called
"neurotransmitters" and as the body senses a reduction in the amount of
food being consumed (calorie intake) it adjusts these "brain chemicals"
downward to reduce the rate of metabolism. Certain amino acids are the
substrates or "precursors" for these neurotransmitters. When a person eats
less food there is less substrate to make these neurotransmitters and the
body slows down the metabolism to find a new set point for the calories
that you are eating.
...Now with Metabolic Thyrolean!"
Metabolic Thyrolean!" contains
the amino acid L-Tyrosine, one of the most important building blocks for
neurotransmitters. L-Tyrosine, a direct precursor to stimulatory neurotransmitters
such as epinephrine and noropenephrine (i.e., adrenaline), is responsible
for maintaining a higher metabolic rate, and is also a precursor to other
natural stimulants as it relates to the metabolism and our ability to "burn"
fat.
Question and answers.
Q. Does
Metabolic Thyrolean!" contain any stimulants like caffeine or
ephedrine?
A.
No. Metabolic Thyrolean!" is an all-natural nutritional supplement
that contains no stimulants. In fact, there are no known side effects associated
with the product.
Q. I
have been on a diet for weeks and while I lost weight initially, I can't
seem to lose any more. Will Metabolic Thyrolean!" help me get
beyond this point?
A. Metabolic Thyrolean!" was developed specifically to address
this problem. By helping to keep the body's metabolic rate elevated during
a diet and exercise program, you can experience a higher rate of weight
loss over time, avoiding the perils of this common problem. In fact, if
you have been on a diet for awhile, Metabolic Thyrolean!" may
be exactly what you need to get yourself back on the weight-loss track.
Q. How
much weight can I expect to lose?
A.
Everyone is different, and weight loss depends on several factors, including
age, diet, exercise and genetics. Diet and exercise are critical to the
success of any weight loss program. Healthy weight loss is not a rapid
drop in weight, but a gradual reduction of body fat over time. Crash diets
only lead to failure, and you're likely to regain the weight as quickly
as you lost it. If you're dropping more than 1 to 1.5 pounds a week, you
could be compromising muscle, not losing fat. Healthy weight loss requires
a long-term commitment and sometimes a change in lifestyle. Metabolic Thyrolean!"
works with your body naturally to get your metabolism working for you,
not against you.
Q. Can
I take Metabolic Thyrolean!" with other weight loss products?
A. Metabolic Thyrolean!" is designed to get results without the
assistance of other nutritional supplements. Although the research has
not been done on a combination of products, combining Metabolic Thyrolean!"
with a thermogenic fat burner may result in a greater rate of fat loss.
But thermogenics are stimulants, and may cause unwanted side effects like
nausea or sleeplessness. If you have been using a thermogenic formula and
the results have been diminishing, combining it with Metabolic Thyrolean!"
may help to boost your metabolism again.
Q. Will
Metabolic Thyrolean!" work without dieting or exercise?
A.
The great results of the participants in the clinical study were based
on a moderate diet and exercise program supplemented with Metabolic Thyrolean!".
Each component is critical to the success of your weight loss program.
If you are unable to exercise in a gym or fitness center, try to incorporate
a walking routine or in-home exercise program. You will need to increase
your activity in order to achieve the best results. Always consult your
doctor before beginning any diet or exercise routine.
Q. How
should I take Metabolic Thyrolean!"?
A.
You should take Metabolic Thyrolean!" three times a day. It
may be most convenient to take it with breakfast, lunch and dinner. The
key is to space the dosages throughout the day so that you have a constant
level of the nutrients in your body all day long. Metabolic Thyrolean!"
does not contain stimulants, so it's okay to take it at nighttime; it won't
disrupt your sleep.
10 tips for successful, healthy,
long-trem fat loss.
1. Do
some resistive weight training 3 to 4 times a week using short rest periods
between sets of 30 to 60 seconds. Work out no longer than 1 hour to keep
your anabolic (muscle-building) hormones high and catabolic (muscle-wasting)
hormones low. Over-training is a quick way to lose muscle along with fat.
Maintaining muscle is the goal, and it will help keep your metabolic rate
high so that fat loss continues at a steady pace. Attempt to lose no more
than 1 to 1.5 pounds of fat per week.
2.
Do aerobic exercise 3 to 4 times a week for 40 to 60 minutes on alternating
days or after weight training to burn fat and increase metabolic rate.
Aerobics are best done on alternating days from weight training.
3.
Watch what you eat. Beware of low-fat or fat-free products. Typically,
these products are loaded with carbohydrates and while you are not getting
the fat, you may be getting way too many calories from simple carbohydrates.
Avoid simple sugars and eat complex carbohydrates in moderation to reduce
insulin output and prevent blood sugar fluctuations. Insulin is the main
hormone responsible for storing body fat, and high insulin levels prevent
the burning of stored body fat for energy. High-carbohydrate diets are
not the optimal way to lose fat while preserving lean muscle. Rely on complex,
high-fiber carbohydrates such as oatmeal, lentils and brown rice. Avoid
breads, pasta, white rice and other highly processed, low-fiber carbohydrate
sources, as well as sweets. As a guide, reduce carbohydrate intake to 0.8
to 1.2 grams per pound of body weight. For example, a 150-pound person
would eat between 120 and 180 grams per day of carbohydrates (150 x 0.8
= 120 / 150 x 1.2 = 180).
4. Increase
the amount of lean protein you consume daily to increase your metabolic
rate, increase anabolic hormones and prevent muscle loss during dieting.
Lean muscle mass is the active tissue that burns calories and maintains
metabolic rate. The goal is to preserve the active tissue we want while
encouraging the body to reduce the tissue (fat) we don't want. Eat high-quality,
low-fat protein sources like skinless chicken, lean red meat and seafood
during your weight loss program. High-quality protein supplements may be
used when the diet does not yield enough daily protein.
5.
Reduce saturated fats whenever possible and replace with polyunsaturated
fats such as flax oil and monounsaturated fats such as olive oil and avocados.
Polyunsaturated fats are considered "good fats" and should be a part of
your diet. Research shows that omega-3 oils from many sources of fish like
cod, flounder, haddock, monkfish, perch, red snapper, sea bass, salmon
and tuna help improve health and fat loss. Essential fatty acids (EFA)
are required for optimum health and fatty acid metabolism. Avoiding "good
fats" is a sure way to sabotage a fat-loss diet and degrade your health.
6.
Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water a day to prevent dehydration and
help liberate fat stores to be burned as energy. Water intake is often
cited as the most underrated and overlooked part of fat loss.
7.
Eat fibrous vegetables to increase transit time of food, improve digestion
and improve weight loss. Increasing fiber intake from vegetables such as
broccoli, cauliflower and other raw vegetables adds fiber, minerals and
vitamins with very few calories. They add bulk to the diet while reducing
appetite.
8.
Spread food intake over 5 to 6 meals per day. Distributing your food throughout
the day will improve nutrient absorption, prevent blood sugar fluctuations
and decrease fat-storing hormones and fat-storing enzymes. Simply spreading
the same number of calories over 5 to 6 small meals per day rather than
the standard 3 meals per day will improve fat loss due to the above effects
on blood sugar, hormones and fat-storing enzymes.
9. Avoid
alcohol (or keep it to a minimum) while you're dieting. Alcohol contains
nearly 7 calories per gram, and is easily metabolized and stored as fat.
When you consume alcohol with a meal, your body will metabolize the alcohol
first. The rest of the calories and the excess alcohol calories inevitably
will be stored as fat. Alcohol is generally regarded as empty carbohydrate
calories because you get no other nutritional benefit as you would from
the vitamins, minerals and fiber that you get from the carbohydrates in
fruits and vegetables.
10.
Be snack smart. When you must have a snack, make a smart choice. Avoid
sugary or fatty snacks like chips and soda, crackers, nuts, frozen yogurt
and so on. Instead, try some air-popped popcorn (no butter or salt) or
a slice of lean meat like turkey. When you space your meals to 5 or 6 a
day, snacking becomes less important to you. Check the nutritional panels
on your snacks for sugars and fats, remembering that fat-free does not
mean calorie-free, and remember, excess carbohydrates in your diet will
be stored as fat.
