The basis for weight loss
Successful and permanent weight loss requires perseverance and time, as noticeable weight loss does not occur overnight. Generally, excess weight is gained gradually over the years. In order to lose 1 kg (2.2 lb) of body fat, the body must either burn approximately 7,000 kcal more, or take in this amount less through food and drink. This amount of energy is contained, for example, in 778g (1 lb 12 oz) pure fat.

Successful weight loss requires restricted calorie intake combined with increased physical activity. Formoline L112 supports weight loss target achievement.

The formula for successful weight loss in overweight individuals is based on the following: a healthy diet that focuses on a modified-fat intake (60-80g or 2-3oz daily) in combination with a high level of physical activity, along with formoline L112 to support weight loss. Due to its high fat binding capacity, formoline L112 can bind substantial amounts of dietary fats, thereby inducing weight loss by reducing energy intake. formoline L112 enhances motivation, particularly at the beginning of dietary adjustment.

Going on a low-fat diet (about 40g or1½oz of fat daily) is a proven method of losing weight without utilising a fat-adsorbing agent. Most people find it very difficult to adjust from a diet high in fat (daily intake of 120g or 4½oz of fat or more) to a low-fat diet, which is why almost no long- term successes have been achieved. formoline L112, along with a healthy, modified-fat diet,* enables you to lose weight successfully, without dieting stress.

Frequent dieting over prolonged periods of time may contribute to vitamin and mineral depletion: vitamin C, B-vitamins, iron, calcium, iodine and fluorine. It is therefore advisable for all people following a weight loss programme to take additional vitamin and mineral supplements.

For weight maintenance after weight loss, 1 tablet formoline L112 twice daily can be taken with two main meals. In order to maintain your weight, you should continue to eat a healthy, nutritionally balanced, reduced-fat diet.

Indications: Formoline L112 Weight Management Tablets help to reduce excess weight. They can assist long-term weight control in conjunction with a healthy, modified-fat diet,* and lower LDL cholesterol.
