We are facing today an ever-increasing weight-control problem that is reaching epidemic proportions. A 2007 study conducted by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health predicted that 3 out of 4 adult Americans will be overweight by 2015. If this forecast proves to be correct, it would mark a disturbing trend for Americans who spend over seven billion dollars a year in costs directly related to excess weight. Other costs include absenteeism, lack of productivity, and healthcare claims. These are just a few of the reasons that the Bloomberg School called for public health efforts to help Americans trim down, especially at the waistline.

Studies show that quality of life can improve with as little as a 5 to 10 pound weight loss. For example, one study involving overweight men showed that the loss of just 10 pounds helped to restore their sexual desire and performance. This is just one of many health issues, such as diabetes, cancer, and sleep apnea that can be improved by losing weight.

To address this serious public health issue, Forever Living Products challenged its research and development team to develop a natural and effective weight management program. During the process, they discovered that when a regimen is aimed at reducing fat and carbohydrates, it not only promotes weight loss, but also helps the body maintain healthy levels for blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides, which contribute to a healthy cardiovascular system.

Based upon the recommendations of the research and development team, the Company decided to pursue a plan that improved overall health while at the same time dropping excess weight. This meant not using drugs or questionable stimulants such as caffeine.

The result included a family of products which, when used as directed, will not only aid in losing unwanted pounds but promote optimal health as well. The are safe, effective, convenient and simple to use. Now, let’s describe each product in detail.

Forever Lite Ultra® with Aminotein is a delicious high-protein, low-carb dietary supplement. Made with soy protein isolate, it provides the best source of plant protein available. This is augmented with Aminotein, which is a unique blend of enzymes specifically designed to break down protein and to ensure proper digestion and optimal absorption of the 18 important amino acids contained in the formula. Two servings a day of Forever Lite Ultra, prepared with skim or soy milk as directed supply a full 100% of the Recommended Daily Intake for the vitamins and minerals essential for good health. Weight management with Forever Lite is simple. To lose unwanted pounds, just replace two meals a day with a scoop of Lite mixed with fat-free or soy milk. If desired, the flavor can be varied by adding fruit to the shake. The third meal should be a balanced variety of food sources totaling about 600 to 800 calories. Following this regimen can result in weight loss of 1 to 3 pounds per week.

Aloe Vera Gel is made with 100% stabilized aloe vera. Just a few ounces a day helps promote a healthy digestive tract, which in turn can help the body absorb and utilize the nutrients found in the other FLP Weight Management products.

The Forever Fast Break Bar is a great-tasting alternative to skipping meals by providing many of the vitamins & minerals your body needs everyday. Each bar supplies over 50% of many essential nutrients. When eaten with a glass of low-fat or soy milk, it provides a tasty and convenient meal replacement. The formula includes Phosphorus, which enhances energy levels by speeding up the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates, thus helping the body recover from over-exertion. Also included is Potassium, which is not only essential for a healthy cardiovascular system, nervous system and muscle function, but also helps to ease mental and physical stress. Fast Break Bars are a great choice for today’s “on the go” lifestyle

Instead of adding artificial stimulants to its products, Forever Living has chosen nature’s energy booster, Forever Bee Pollen. Each tablet delivers a full 500 mg of pure bee pollen which is micro-ground for quick absorption into the bloodstream. It contains a wide spectrum of trace nutrients, trace minerals, enzymes, fatty acids and amino acids.

Forever Lean is a natural fat and carb-blocking supplement made with white kidney bean extract and prickly pear cactus, also known as Opuntia. White kidney bean extract has been shown to limit absorption of calories from carbohydrates in the diet. Opuntia has the unique ability to surround fat and prevent it from being absorbed by the digestive tract. Blocking the absorption of fat and carbohydrates can dramatically reduce the amount of calories that have to be burned to lose weight, which makes Forever Lean a vital complement to our weight management regimen. For best results, Forever Lean should be taken just before the 2 largest meals of the day, along with 8 ounces of water. Those who have difficulty swallowing pills can open the capsules and sprinkle the contents directly on their food.

Forever Garcinia Plus acts as a natural appetite suppressant. It also inhibits the production of fats from carbohydrates, which causes the body to burn existing fat stores, and thus contributes to weight loss. The primary ingredient is a natural substance derived from the Garcinia Cambogia fruit, also known as Malabar Tamarind.

Microbes are live microorganisms that play an important role in our general health and wellbeing. While some microbes are bad, many are beneficial. These “good bacteria” are called “probiotic,” meaning “for life” in Greek. Forever Active Probiotic is an unprecedented blend of 6 important probiotics. Designed to promote a healthy digestive system, these small, easy-to-swallow beadlets work primarily in the intestines to assist with the process of food digestion and nutrient absorption. Forever Active Probiotic uses an exclusive, patented encapsulation technology that protects the probiotics as they pass through the stomach; this is important because the acids in the stomach can destroy probiotic bacteria. Each beadlet has a triple-layer coating. The first layer protects the probiotics from stomach acid; the second layer releases the proper probiotics into the small intestine; and the third layer releases the correct probiotics into the large intestine; thus releasing the probiotics in just the right spot for their maximum effectiveness.
Forever Active Probiotic is shelf-stable and requires no refrigeration. We recommend one beadlet a day.
