Equalean ® reduces excess carb absorption, promote metabolic balance, support healthy digestion. Offers up to twice the effectiveness of original Equalean * Most everybody knows that starch is one of the biggest culprits for packing on the pounds. However, if you’re like most people, you can’t completely avoid eating fast food, processed snacks and other foods that contain too many carbohydrates. Not only can these extra carbohydrates turn into fat, but starchy foods that are rich in highly refined carbohydrates and poor in other nutrients can throw your metabolism out of balance, reducing your body’s natural ability to burn fat and increasing your body’s fat storage. * • According to a 2002 American Dietetic Association survey, Americans tend to overestimate the recommended serving sizes for many foods. Research Brief Carbohydrates are an essential part of our diet. Carbohydrates serve as the primary source of energy in cells, and carbohydrate metabolism is central to all metabolic processes. In the body, carbohydrates are metabolized mainly into glucose, a major source of immediate energy, which is delivered to body cells. Any extra carbohydrate is converted to glycogen, a source of glucose and reserve energy stored in the liver and muscle tissues. Excess dietary carbohydrates may also be converted to fatty acids, which are later stored as body fat. Therefore, although fat calories are most easily converted to fat in the body, calories from carbohydrates, as well as from protein, will also be transformed into body fat if these calories are not expended. Overall, the body’s storage can hold a half-day’s worth of energy in the form of glycogen that must be converted first back to glucose. The blood system, on the other hand, can hold only an hour’s supply of glucose. Surplus glycogen is transformed by the liver into fat to be deposited in fatty tissues around the body. This process occurs at lower (resting) body temperatures. Various enzymes also control this process. Inhibiting these enzymes may block or slow the body’s production of new fat. Frequently Asked Questions Q Are there any supplements that should not be taken with EquaLean ®? A Enzygen ® and other products containing or promoting digestive enzymes should not be taken with EquaLean ® because the digestive enzymes will break down the EquaLean ® formula, making it less effective.* Q Why is the new EquaLean ® formula better? A The new, improved EquaLean ® contains white kidney bean extract, which helps make it twice as effective. It also contains American ginseng which supports the metabolic system.* Q Can pregnant women take EquaLean ®? A The new EquaLean ® is not recommended for pregnant or lactating women. Q If I’m consuming a meal that is high in carbohydrates, can I take more than the recommended dose of EquaLean ® ? A Yes. You can take an extra capsule or two of EquaLean ® when you eat extra carbohydrates. However, remember that a healthy diet should limit carbohydrates to 40 percent of total food intake.
