How’s that? Dr Yann Rougier from Laboratoires Forte Pharma – Monaco answers

That dreaded word. The word that each and every one of us hates to hear – and even hate to think about – is DIET. But what do you understand when you use the word diet? So many people think going on a diet means starvation, deprivation, suffering, depression and a whole list of other negative connotations. The interpretation of this word in conjunction to our lives may be crucial to our health, both emotionally and physically. Losing weight needn’t be a sacrifice but a process.

The food we eat everyday needs to be burnt down otherwise, extra calories not burnt through exercise are converted into body fat. However, since the majority of people do not exercise enough or have no time to do so, body fat builds up daily. Therefore the prime issue to target in this case is our food intake.

Our eating regime may often not be balanced, being high in calories and saturated fats, and low in the essential nutrients and fibres that should be consumed daily. Therefore, apart from balancing our diet by eating the greatest possible variety of good foods, one should also take note of the great benefits a diet rich in fibre can have.

Through this analysis, Laboratoires FORTE PHARMA – Monaco, have developed “Calori Light”, a food supplement made from fibres extracted from cocoa and orange. Apart from providing a percentage of the daily allowance of fibre in a practical way, “Calori Light” triggers three essential actions.

These include, helping the natural elimination of the fat of the food, slowing down the assimilation of sugars and storage of fats and provides a rapid and prolonged feeling of fullness, which helps one control one’s appetite. Studies have shown that the cocoa and orange fibres found in “Calori Light” are made ffrom soluble and insoluble fibres, which have proven to be more effective then the common fibres of wheat, apples, soya and carrots.

Therefore the consumption of food needn’t be followed by feelings of guilt, agony, the count of calorie intake and punishing one self afterwards. Taking two capsules of “Calori Light” before each main meal with a glass of water will help you regulate and control your intake.

“Calori Light” by Laboratoires FORTE PHARMA – Monaco, are available in all pharmacies around Malta and Gozo.
