If your body had a secret to losing weight naturally, wouldn't you want to know about it? In fact, your life may even depend on it!

The deadliest diseases, heart disease, diabetes, circulatory disorders, hypertension, cancer and stroke have all been linked to obesity and account for many deaths a year. Studies show that these life-threatening diseases may be prevented by achieving and maintaining an ideal body weight; however, the startling fact is that 60% and over of all the people in well-developed countries are overweight!

Why do some people become overweight?

When we consume more calories than we burn off, our body stores the extra calories as body fat. Genetics play a role in metabolism (the rate at which the body burns calories for fuel), but lifestyle and environment often outweigh the genetic factors involved in weight problems. Ironically, in many cases, excessive dieting is a chief contributor to obesity.

How do starvation diets cause your metabolism to slow down?

When you go on a "starvation diet" you are denying your body fuel to operate. As a survival instinct to prevent tissue loss, your body conserves energy in order to operate your heart, lungs and other organs. You not only feel hungry, you feel sluggish as well. A vicious struggle ensues between your will power and your appetite.

When a diet is discontinued, calories and fat consumed are burned off slower than before the "diet" because your metabolism slows down during what your body believes to be a "famine". In essence, dieting encourages weight-gain and makes it more difficult to lose body fat. The key to achieving and maintaining an ideal body weight is to speed up metabolism.

Thermogenesis: how your body burns fat!

In order to speed up the rate at which you burn fat, you must stimulate the process that controls it - thermogenesis. Thermogenesis is simply when the body produces heat so that fat is burnt for energy. A substance that stimulates thermogenesis is called a thermogenic activator.

Citrus Aurantium: nature's newly discovered thermogenic activator

Citrus Aurantium, a fruit commonly known as bitter orange, has been used in traditional medicine to treat chest congestion and indigestion, stimulate gastrointestinal function and improve circulation and liver function. In traditional western medicine, Citrus Aurantium has been used to treat digestive and circulatory problems.

Scientists have discovered that Citrus Aurantium stimulates weight loss by increasing the production of heat to burn fat calories at a faster rate, giving the body access to greater amounts of energy - safely, effectively and dramatically.

Citrus Aurantium burns fat

According to research, Citrus Aurantium exclusively stimulates metabolism to increase fat breakdown and encourage growth in muscles. Simply put, Citrus Aurantium speeds up fat burn-off, provides increased energy and promotes lean muscle tone - essential for firm hips, thighs, waist and bums.

Citrus Aurantium stimulates the specific part of fat cells, called beta receptors, that initiates a series of chemical reactions responsible for increased fat breakdown.

In addition, any physical activity will increase the thermogenic effect. An appropriate exercise programme, as well as a moderately low-fat diet with lots of water in-take, will further enhance the thermogenic effect of Citrus Aurantium towards permanent and healthy weight loss.

Altadrine Fat Burner Tablets, by Alta Care Laboratoires, contain Citrus Aurantium to help release stored fat and give you access to it for immediate energy, while helping you burn fat calories that would otherwise be stored in your body. A relatively low-fat diet and/or moderate exercise further increases the fat burning and revs up the thermogenic activity of Citrus Aurantium.

Altadrine Fat Burner Tablets are to be taken in this manner:  simply take one tablet mid-morning and one tablet mid-afternoon.  One box of Altadrine Tablets is equivalent to one month's course.  After the one-month course respect a one-week break and restart the course to continue benefiting from natural weight loss.
