Who hasn't had to fight extra pounds? Most of us have battled to some degree or another to keep slim, trim and healthy. Its not easy, I know better then most how hard it can be to lose weight, how life can really make it harder then it sounds and how multi leveled the problem is. I too have tried most pills, support groups and diets that are around. So when I read this little blurb in the Tacoma newspaper, I was excited and anxious to share with my friends.
Let me say this first, most pills I tried didn't work or only a little or the side effects were horrific. Metagenics is a company that I know a fair amount about. Having worked for over 7yrs in pharmacy research, I was always impressed that they actually perform true FDA studies on all their supplements (not aware of any other company that does this consistently) also, they have huge teams of nurses and doctors working for them AND who really believe in their products. I was introduced by a pharmacist who felt theses products were far superior and worth the price (they are more money), he went on and on like a darn commercial so I had to ask if he was being paid in some way by them and he was not, he felt so passionately about the health benefits of some of these for his patients that he carried them (even though because of cost there were a hard sell, he wanted them available for those who would do it). There are not easy products to come by because mostly you can only get them from a trained (specially by the company) doctor or very very rarely a pharmacy. St Joes used to carry them but i don't think they do any longer and so Costless Prescriptions is the only place i personally know of who carry them. I also got to watch a woman lose 50lbs following one of their programs including meal replacement shakes she buys there.
OK OK, here's what the paper said (bridged)FMRC.
"Weight-loss Study"
we are looking for healthy volunteers for a research study investigating the effects of a natural product to help maintain post-diet weight loss
Participation required that you take a study product or placebo, complete questionnaires, and have blood drawn over a 64 week period. Study related tests and products are provided at no charge....for more info: FMRC.METAGENICS.COM"
So, I am not getting paid in any way for this, but i think it might be great help to some of you out there! Let me know how it goes if you try and everything from there!
