The Thermojetics Weight Management Program worked by utilizing optimum health supplements to reach customers’ peak level of health to help them lose weight. To support their research, the company provided evidence as to why certain methods of losing weight won’t work.

Diets don’t work because they focus on restricting what one eats, leaving the body starved for nutrients. Maintaining a certain amount of nutrition every day is important to maintaining energy, muscle integrity, bone density and overall optimal health. When one is malnourished, one’s body craves food even more because the body naturally wants to make up for nutrients that it’s missing.

Suppressing the appetite, either by drastically cutting back on what one eats or by taking supplements that unhealthfully eliminate cravings, one may experience temporary weight loss but this weight loss is generally only water weight. At best, the loss of weight comes from the body eating its own muscle tissue for energy. This causes an extreme drop in metabolism and energy levels, making it even more difficult to lose weight. Although staying between fifteen hundred and twenty-five hundred calories a day is healthy, cutting back on calories below the suggested number for one’s size is actually counterproductive. Plus, once one returns to eating regularly, the body stores more fat than normal because it has been trained to stock up for a famine. This causes “yo-yo” dieting which is very unhealthy. Studies show that 95% of people who lose weight regain it within eighteen months, while 85% of those people actually gain at least 5% more weight than they started with.

Supplements identified as “fat blockers” do help to reduce the absorption of fat intake, but they don’t help to shed stored fat. While this may result in a falsely lower fat diet, they won’t help to actually lose weight that stays off for a long period of time. Most people who take fat blockers usually end up consuming more calories than they would have without them because fat is a long-term energy source that can be critical to warding off hunger pains. Instead, dieters using fat blockers consume carbohydrates and sugars which are burned off much more quickly.

Finally, Thermojetics described how exercise is obviously a crucial component to long-term weight loss, but few people can lose significant weight with exercise alone. The average person who is thirty pounds or more overweight needs more than just exercise to lose the weight and keep it off. Many people don’t have the time, energy and discipline to exercise properly, especially in the beginning of a new health plan. The Herbalife supplements supplied by Thermojetics helped customers to integrate a new exercise plan into their lifestyles.
