How The Suddenly Slim Lifestyle Diet Works

The Suddenly Slim diet plan is an herb-based weight loss program that offers a fast way to lose weight using nutritional shakes, diet pills, and nutritional supplements. This diet claims that within ten days, it can increase the metabolism to make the body burn more calories and shed excess weight without altering diet or exercise routines.
The products used in this plan have a variety of herbal ingredients often found in herb-based diet products. The program claims that the herbal ingredients work by reducing the appetite, raising energy levels and rate of metabolism, and detoxifying the body.
The diet plan lasts for ten days, during which the dieter drinks meal replacement shakes and takes diet pills. The meal replacement shakes are supposed to satisfy and eliminate hunger and provide the body with crucial nutrients. The diet supplements and pills have ingredients such as green tea, caffeine, and soy protein to promote health and weight loss.
Before trying any herbal supplement or diet drug, it is a good idea to consult your physician about the health risks of the diet and whether it is the right plan for you. Many ingredients may have positive health effects, but as with any drug, there are health risks involved. One such case is with diet pills containing the diet herbal ingredient Ephedra, which is banned in the US due to health risks (recent formulations of Suddenly Slim products have substituted Ephedra extract with bitter orange).
The Suddenly Slim diet is considered by many to be a "fad diet" that works for some but not all. One of the reasons this plan can fail is because it is hard to achieve long-lasting weight loss in a short amount of time. Many people on the Suddenly Slim diet plan, report losing weight but end up gaining weight again after the diet ends. For most people, it takes a lot of dedication and lifestyle changes to successfully keep weight off. In all cases, lifetime commitments such as good eating habits and an exercise routine will lead to weight loss. Read more

A new study shows that drinking green tea may result in weight loss. The study showed that people who drank a bottle of tea fortified with green tea extract supplements every day for three months lost more weight than those who drank a bottle of regular oolong tea.
Researchers say the results indicate that substances found in green tea known as catechins may trigger weight loss by stimulating the body to burn calories and decreasing body fat.
The findings appear in the January issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Black tea, oolong tea, and green tea come from the same Camellia sinensis plant. But unlike the other two varieties, green tea leaves are not fermented before steaming and drying. Read more
