The AIM lifestyle Trio was specially designed to help you meet your weight-management goals. The three products included - AIM Barleygreen®, AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, and AIM Metabolite™ - provide you with a way to receive the nutrients you need, yet at the same time reduce calorie intake and increase energy.
AIM Barleygreen® is rich in these nutrients. It contains many vitamins, including vitamins A, B1, B6, C, and E; the minerals potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, and zinc; and amino acids, enzymes, and chlorophyll. It also contains a new antioxidant, 2"-0-blycosylisovitexin, which is believed to be a more potent antioxidant than vitamin E.
These nutrients play key roles in many of the metabolic pathways throughout the body. By providing the nutrients necessary to convert food into usable energy, you enhance your energy production at the cellular level. What's more, th is energy is produced without fat - AIM Barleygreen® has none - with only 10 calories per one-teaspoon (3g) serving.
AIM Herbal Fiberblend® contains 12 - 13 grams of dietary fiber per two-tablespoon (18 g) serving, which contributes to the bulk you need to decrease appetite. Psyllium, the fiber found in AIM Herbal Fiberblend®, is also a great source of soluble fiber. Soluble fiber helps stabilize blood sugar, which might prevent large fluctuations in blood sugar and the desire for snacking that goes away with it. Psyllium is 75% to 80% dietary fiber, 60% to 70% of which is soluble.
Fiber also increases the efficiency of your digestive tract by decreasing transit time (the amount of time it takes from consuming food until it is excreted). This in turn helps maximize the absorption of needed nutrients and helps eliminate toxins.
The main ingredient in AIM Metabolite™ is (-)hydroxycitric acid (HCA). It is derived from the dried rind of garcinia cambogia, a fruit-bearing plant native to Southeast Asia which has been used for centuries in cooking.
HCA affects the body's carbohydrate metabolism by:
The other two ingredients in AIM Metabolite™ are gymnema sylvestre and chromium. Gymnema sylvestre, another Indian herb, reduces the sensitivity of sugar receptors in the digestive tract, lessening our desire to eat sugar-filled foods. It is also might contribute to overall appetite suppression, making it easier to live up to your resolve to stay on your weight-management program.
Organically bond chromium * has been shown by more than 15 years of clinical studies and research to be an effective, natural weight manager that helps control appetite, reduces craving for sweets, increases metabolic rate, and burns fat. Other research has shown that chromium works well with HCA to improve carbohydrate metabolism.
In summary, the individual ingredients in AIM Metabolite inhibit fat production and increase fat burning (HCA), help reduce the a mount of sugars we consume (gymnema sylvestre), and h help maintain constant levels of sugar in the bloodstream (chromium).
* The Canadian formulation of AIM Metabolite does not contain chromium.
The disadvantage of these centrally acting compounds is that they often cause psychological and cardiovascular side effects such as depression, nervousness, insomnia, and rapid heart rate. In addition, the body may develop an immunity to these substances, lessening their effectiveness. Because this type of product provides weight reduction by burning lean tissue, you often gain the weight right back. This often results in"yo-yo" dieting, a cycle of using weight-loss products, losing weight, and gaining weight back. Recent studies have shown that yo-yo dieting can be bad for you both physically and psychologically.
You will not have this problem with AIM's Lifestyle Trio. The natural ingredients used do not enter the brain or central nervous system. Instead, they work with the body's own natural processes at the cellular level. This results in weight loss without side effects.
At the turn of the century, about 5% of the American population was overweight; today, depending on your source, some 20% to 40% of the population is obese.
Why this is so can be summed up in one word; diet! Currently, our diets are high in processed foods, fat, and simple sugars, not healthier whole grains and complex carbohydrates. At the urn of the century, or diet was about 43% complex carbohydrates, 32% fat, and 13% simple sugars. By 1980, this had changed to 22% complex carbohydrates, 40% to 45% fat, and 24% simple sugars. (Protein consumption has remained much the same at about 12%.) And, although recent statistics indicate we are now eating less fat, we have replaced this with less-than-beneficial carbohydrates; pizza, lasagna, and ready-to-eat cereals.
From a health point of view, this is serious. Being overweight and obesity are linked to many of the health problems prevalent in the United States and other industrialized countries; high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes (all of which lead to cardiovascular diseases), arthritis, and many other health problems. It is obvious that being overweight dramatically affects our health, our health care system, our insurance policies, our personal economies, and our self-esteem.
Why are there precautions for pregnant or lactating women and diabetics? What about children?
Pregnant or lactating women should not take AIM Metabo™lite.Someone who is pregnant should not be dieting. AIM Metabolite also decreases the amount of fatty acids in the blood stream, which forces the body to use cholesterol in the blood for functions normally carried out by fatty acids. Although this is a positive benefit for most people, adequate cholesterol is essential for the development of hormones, including those that aid in the development of the fetus.
Diabetics should consult a health practitioner before starting any weight-loss program.
Generally, most of the fat on children is baby fat that will disappear with time. As well, childhood is a time of changing hormone levels; thus, the same reasoning that applies to pregnant women applies to children. We suggest dietary changes and exercise for children. There have been no side effects concerning gymnema sylvestre.
