WeightLess

New Formula. The purpose of this tailor-made tonic from our Herbalist is to increase the metabolism and assist a more efficient digestion of foods and fats (new fat-busting herbs added). The tonic acts as a stimulant to the blood circulation hence burning more calories. It helps to increase the excretion of water, draining the tissues, reducing water retention. The bowel will also be more active: improving elimination of waste, helping to remove encrustation on the walls of the intestines that impedes digestion and causes the uptake of toxicity in the body and a constant feeling of unwellness and low energy. Taken regularly through the day you should find that you have less of an appetite, a better mood, and more discrimination as to what you want to eat. The tonic balances your nerves and liver. It is rich in trace minerals, vitamins, amino acids and other nutrients.
WeightLess Tonic includes bladderwrack (sea kelp) in which fucoxanthin has been discovered. This is a carotenoid that targets stored fat cells in our body causing them to shrink and also to decrease in number. Kelp also boosts metabolism.

The Herbs in WeightLess - please request list.

Diet

Although the WeightLess Tonic can be taken by itself without changing your lifestyle and good results can still be achieved. However, we recommend a sugar controlled diet. Lots of vegetables, salads, and fresh fruits; and very few carbohydrates (potatoes, rice, bread, pasta, bananas, etc). Keep sugar intake to below 15g per day and you will restore your shapely figure (lose your belly). Keep oily foods/fish down to the minimum. Not much meat, chicken or dairy. Buy a juicer (telephone free 0500 90 96 97 for a cut price Juicing Machine), and enjoy the special benefits of drinking juices while also promoting weight loss. Drink plenty of natural water, herb teas and juices. Coffee and tea can be drunk during this programme (we have a high stimulant alternative coffee to support your weight loss programme, click here). Replace a meal with soup every other day (no salt or oil and do not blend - just drink the soup water).

chocolate

Yes, we sell chocolate with our weight loss programme! But our chocolate is very low sugar and very high quality. You can choose our selection of black chocolate bars at 85% 90% or 99% (made by Lindt and Green & Black). When you're on a very low carb (120g max) and low sugar (15g max) per day then a couple of squares of our chocolate is encouraged eg our 85% has 30 squares which amounts to just 0.52g per square; what's more, this sort of quality chocolate is not meant to be eaten, rather allowed to just melt in the mouth - this gives full satisfaction to the chocolate need, just 1-2 squares per day or after each meal amounting to just 3g per day! That's not only allowable, it's encouraged! Chocolate with this strength of cocoa is nutrient rich and healthy for you.
100g Green and Black Organic Dark 85% Cocoa £1.99
100g Lindt Excellence Dark Supreme 90% Cocoa £1.55;
50g Lindt Excellence Dark 99% Cocoa £2.79

Supplements

It is not essential but the following dietary supplements may profitably be taken along with the WeightLess Tonic: CoEnz Q10, Kelp tablets, B5 (controls fat metabolism), Choline (metabolism), Magnesium and B1 (for the metabolism of carbohydrates), Zinc (helps digest food and assists metabolism), B complex (increases metabolism), Lecithin granules (prevents fat build-up in organs). Support your local herbalist and please buy your supplements from us. Phone us free for next day mail order: 0500 90 96 97 or come to our shop. If you're on insulin or if you are particularly metabolically resistant to losing weight, the following supplements taken with the WeightLess Tonic should assist: chromium, vanadium, alpha lipoic acid, zinc, biotin and CoEnzQ10.
Or if you dislike taking vitamin tablets because they give you indigestion or because of the high-tech industrialisation process gone into making them along with all the binders, chalks, glazing agents, colorants, etc, added to them, I highly recommend our ABC Daily 50 Herbal NutriPowder Plus which is totally organic, herbal and has the full complement of vitamins, minerals, micro-elements and amino acids: a perfect support for your programme of weight loss.

Exercise

Extra exercise is essential, and aerobic type exercises are very useful, preferably 5 times a week (or more), 30-40 minutes continuous exercise at each session. Best done first thing in the morning (and again in the evening if you can) (morning exercise is useful because it turns up the 'metabolic dial' and then remains turned up throughtout the day, thus burning fat throughout the day even if you've got a desk job). Skipping, jogging, dancercise, cycling, power walking, swimming, team sports, are the best. This increases your metabolism and sustains weight loss throughout the day. Or if you're older try to walk 1-2 miles three times a week in one activity. When you go to sleep at night the metabolic dial resets and the next morning you need to turn it up again by exercising in this way. Exercise is healthy for your mood, your joints, your organs, your immune system, your heart and circulation as well as your shape.

General advice to consumers on the use of herbal remedies from the Medicines Healthcare products Regulatory Agency

From the website of the Medicines Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (www.mhra.gov.uk) Department of Health, UK

• Remember that herbal remedies are medicines. As with any other medicine they are likely to have an effect on the body and should be used with care.
• Herbal remedies may sometimes interact with other medicines. This makes it particularly important to tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking a herbal remedy with other medicines such as prescribed medicines (those provided through your doctor or dentist).
• Treat with caution any suggestion that a herbal remedy is '100% safe' or is 'safe because it is natural'. Many plants, trees, fungi and algae can be poisonous to humans. It is worth remembering that many pharmaceuticals have been developed or derived from these sources because of the powerful compounds they contain. Any medicine, including herbal remedies, which have an effect on the body should be used with care.
• Treat with caution any herbalist or other person who supplies herbal remedies if they are unwilling or unable to provide written information, in English, listing the ingredients of the herbal remedy they are providing.
• If you are due to have a surgical operation you should always remember to tell your doctor about any herbal remedy that you are taking.
• Anyone who has previously experienced any liver complaint, or any other serious health complaint is advised not to take any herbal remedy without speaking to their doctor first.

PRECAUTIONS:

Pregnant/Breast-feeding mothers
Few conventional medicines have been established as safe to take during pregnancy and it is generally recognised that no medicine should be taken unless the benefit to the mother outweighs any possible risk to the foetus. This rule should also be applied to herbal medicinal products. However, herbal products are often promoted to the public as being “natural” and completely “safe” alternatives to conventional medicines. Some herbal ingredients that specifically should be avoided or used with caution during pregnancy. As with conventional medicines, no herbal products should be taken during pregnancy unless the benefit outweighs the potential risk.

Volatile Oils

Many herbs are traditionally reputed to be abortifacient and for some this reputation can be attributed to their volatile oil component.(6) A number of volatile oils are irritant to the genito-urinary tract if ingested and may induce uterine contractions. Herbs that contain irritant volatile oils include ground ivy, juniper, parsley, pennyroyal, sage, tansy and yarrow. Some of these oils contain the terpenoid constituent, thujone, which is known to be abortifacient. Pennyroyal oil also contains the hepatotoxic terpenoid constituent, pulegone. A case of liver failure in a woman who ingested pennyroyal oil as an abortifacient has been documented.

Uteroactivity

A stimulant or spasmolytic action on uterine muscle has been documented for some herbal ingredients including blue cohosh, burdock, fenugreek, golden seal, hawthorn, jamaica dogwood, motherwort, nettle, raspberry, and vervain. Herbal Teas Increased awareness of the harmful effects associated with excessive tea and coffee consumption has prompted many individuals to switch to herbal teas. Whilst some herbal teas may offer pleasant alternatives to tea and coffee, some contain pharmacologically active herbal ingredients, which may have unpredictable effects depending on the quantity of tea consumed and strength of the brew. Some herbal teas contain laxative herbal ingredients such as senna, frangula, and cascara. In general stimulant laxative preparations are not recommended during pregnancy and the use of unstandardised laxative preparations is particularly unsuitable. A case of hepatotoxicity in a newborn baby has been documented in which the mother consumed a herbal tea during pregnancy as an expectorant. Following analysis the herbal tea was reported to contain pyrrolizidine alkaloids which are known to be hepatotoxic.

Breast-feeding mothers

A drug substance taken by a breast-feeding mother presents a hazard if it is transferred to the breast milk in pharmacologically or toxicologically significant amounts. Limited information is available regarding the safety of conventional medicines taken during breast-feeding. Much less information exists for herbal ingredients, and generally the use of herbal remedies is not recommended during lactation.

Paediatric Use

Herbal remedies have traditionally been used to treat both adults and children. Herbal remedies may offer a milder alternative to some conventional medicines, although the suitability of a herbal remedy needs to be considered with respect to quality, safety and efficacy. Herbal remedies should be used with caution in children and medical advice should be sought if in doubt. Chamomile is a popular remedy used to treat teething pains in babies. However, chamomile is known to contain allergenic sesquiterpene lactones and should therefore be used with caution. The administration of herbal teas to children needs to be considered carefully and professional advice may be needed.

Perioperative use

The need for patients to discontinue herbal medicinal products prior to surgery has recently been proposed. The authors considered eight commonly used herbal medicinal products (echinacea, ephedra, garlic, ginkgo, ginseng, kava, St John’s Wort, valerian). On the evidence available they concluded that the potential existed for direct pharmacological effects, pharmacodynamic interactions and pharmacokinetic interactions. The need for physicians to have a clear understanding of the herbal medicinal products being used by patients and to take a detailed history was highlighted. The American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) has advised patients to tell their doctor if they are taking herbal products before surgery and has reported that a number of anaesthesiologists have reported significant changes in heart rate or blood pressure in some patients who have been taking herbal medicinal products including St John’s Wort, ginkgo and ginseng. MCA is currently investigating a serious adverse reaction associated with the use of ginkgo prior to surgery. In this case, the patient who was undergoing hip replacement experienced uncontrolled bleeding thought to be related to the use of ginkgo.
