• Feel full sooner and stay full longer
• Fight free radicals so you age gracefully

“I lost 20 pounds in the first four weeks, and it helped eliminate all those urges I had to snack-especially late at night.  I received more benefits from Total Control than any other weight-loss product I’ve tried,” says Tony Marquez, whose struggle with weight began after having two knee replacements several years ago.

Why Should You Lose Weight?

Excess weight can seriously damage your life

Being overweight can affect almost every aspect of your life, from how you interact with family and friends, to what kind of job you have, to how much you spend in medical bills each year.  Although many people see losing weight simply as a way to look and feel better, the reality is there are much more serious reasons to win the battle of the bulge for life.

Losing weight for your health’s sake

Those who are overweight pay a heavy price in the health department.  Excess weight and obesity redispose you to several debilitating health conditions, including: cardiovascular disease, diabetes, gallbladder disease, gout, arthritis, asthma, many cancers and kidney disease.  Worse still, obesity is the second leading cause of preventable deaths in the U.S. each year, claiming 300,000 lives.  According to government health statistics, obesity-related issues account for approximately $100 billion in healthcare costs and nearly 40 million missed workdays each year.  And, even if your’re only moderately overweight, your risk of dying from a heart attack or stroke is far greater than someone whose weight is normal.

Moving outwards, not upwards

But it’s not only your physical health that can suffer as a result of excess pounds, it’s also your emotional well-being and career prospects.  Recent studies show the extent to which overweight individuals are discriminated against in the workplace.  Not only are employers less likely to hire an overweight man or woman, but statistics reveal that overweight employees are likely to earn 10 to 20% less ehan their thinner colleagues and to be given fewer chances for promotion.

Weight-loss benefits:

• Have more energy, more vitality and more fun!
• Experience greater success in all areas of your life.
• Pay less in healthcare bills.
• Enjoy improved confidence and self-esteem.
• Look great in the clothes you love.

The Power of Botanicals

Total Control™ contains a potent blend of herbal ingredients whose individual properties work synergistically to optimize the weight-loss process.  Next, we’ll unlock the science and history of some of these remarkable botancials and nutrients.

Bitter fruit gives sweet results

A key ingredient in Total Control™ is citrus aurantium-also called bitter orange or zhi shi.  Although well know as a health supplement in traditional Chinese medicine, it is only recently that the extraordinary value of citrus aurantium for weight loss has come to light.

Lose fat without losing your cool

Studies show that citrus aurantium increases the body’s resting metabolic rate and encourages the release of stored fat for energy production.  What makes this botanical so unique is that it appears to increase thermogenesis without stimulating the cental nervous system.  As a result, it encourages the body to burn calories at a faster rate without creating a feeling of nervousness or ” FONT jitters.?<>

Botanical synergy helps accelerate weight loss

In addition to citrius aurantium, Total Control™ boasts a number of other important botanicals and nutrients for weight loss, including DL-phenylalanine, tyrosine, coleus, damiana, green tea, cocoa and yerba mate, plus more than 10 additional herbs that support weight management and enhance overall health and well-being.

Tea for thermogenesis

According to a study conducted at the University of Geneva in Switzerland, green tea has a thermogenic effect in the body, increasing the rate at which calories are burned.  Participants who were given green-tea extract showed a significant increase in daily caloric expenditure, as compared with the placebo group.  This study concluded that the increase in thermogenesis was due to the high amount of catechins present in green tea.  Green tea is also known for its energy-boosting properties.

We beat the competition with the power of herbal synergy

Total Control™ is a blend of more than 20 powerful botanicals and nutrients that target key weight-loss issues.  Our competitors don’t even come close to matching this powerhouse formula.

Harvesting Nature’s Benefits

Miraculous mate

As popular as coffee is in North America, yerba mate is the preferred beverage in many South American countries.  It is enjoyed for its ability to improve mood, increase mental alertness and help combat fatigue.  Dieters appreciate yerba mate tea for its ability to take the edge off appetite.  It contains substances known as xanthines, which enhance hermogenesis and encourage fat metabolism.  Yerba mate also acts as a mild aquaretic and provides a pleasant energy boost.

For the love of chocolate

Cacao (also known as cocoa) is the same plant from which chocolate is made.  It contains alkaloids known to support weight loss in a couple of ways.  First, theobromine, theophylline and small amounts of caffeine stimulate fat burning and increase energy production.  In addtion, cacao contains natural mood elevators, such as phenylethylalanine (PEA), which create a response in the brain and nervous system similar to the experience of falling in love.  Watchout!  Cacao extract helps dieters enjoy the mood-improving properties of chocolate without the additional colories!

Become a fat burner

The herb coleus contains an active ingredient called forskolin, which induces a chain of biochemical reactions that trigger fat burning.  Experts believe it works by increasing amounts of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-an important substance associated with energy production.  Studies suggest that coleus reduces the size of fat cells by encouraging fat cells to give up their stores of fatty acids for energy production.

Feeling full and satisfied

Three Total Control™ ingredients in particular help reduce appetite and enable dieters to overcome the problem of cravings DL-phenylalanine (DLPA), tyrosine and damiana.  DLPA is an amino acid that encourages the release of cholecystokinin (CCK)-a chemical associated with feeling full.  In addition, DLPA acts as a precursor to the brain chemical dopamine, which enhances mood and reduces hunger.

Tyrosine is also an amino acid, a precursor to the brain chemicals dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine.  These brain chemicals help reduce appetite.  Tyrosine works synergistically with DLPA because the body generates tyrosine from DLPA.  The addition of tyrosine means that more DLPA can be utilized to help control appetite.

Damiana is an herb that has been shown to slow down the rate at which the stomach contents empty into the intestinal tract, thereby prolonging a feeling of fullness.  In a ddition, Total Control™ contains cinnamon bark which has been shown to support sugar metabolism and reduce sugar cravings.  By helping to fight cravings and control appetite, these ingredients make weight loss simple.

“I felt full and more satisfied.”  Using Total Control, Yvette Romero found that she wasn’t hungry for her favorite junk foods.  “I felt satisfied and full after and between all my meals,” she says.  “And I’ve seen a big difference in the way my body looks.”Antioxidant protection

The biflavonoid quercetin is a powerful antioxidant that is known to support fat metabolism.  Because of its antihistamine properties, it also may help reduce the stimulating effects of caffeine from green tea even in caffeine-sensitive individuals.
