Lose weight the easy way!

Can a herbal supplement help you lose weight?

DO YOU FIND IT impossible to lose weight? Even though you stuck to your diet plan and followed your exercise regime, the pounds just refuse to budge?

You’d love to be able to do more exercise but you always seem to feel tired and run down. What’s worse, everyone around you seems to be able to eat whatever they like and never put on a pound!

Your thyroid gland could be holding you back!

It’s demoralising and unfair, but don’t despair – it might not be your fault! You could have an underactive thyroid gland. Do you often feel like you have no energy or enthusiasm? Or do you feel moody or depressed for no good reason? Perhaps you feel the cold in winter and find it impossible to get warmed up? If the answer to any of these questions is  yes, then your thyroid could be the problem.

Your body can’t convert calories into energy...

Your thyroid is a small gland located at the front of your throat. It is made up of 2 parts (called lobes) which sit along your windpipe. The job of your thyroid is to convert iodine found in your food into hormones which help to control your metabolism. Your metabolism is your body’s way of converting calories from your food into energy it can use.

So, when you have an underactive thyroid, your body struggles to convert the calories you eat into energy. And yes, you guessed it, these calories are then stored as fat. Even worse, it means your body can’t get the energy it needs to function properly – this is why you feel tired and run down.
