Losing weight the natural way

For people who have had to battle weight gain – be it five pounds or 25 pounds – the solution is never easy. This explains the surge in the sales of over-the-counter diet pills. But the problem with these pills is they lull many of us dieters into thinking that if we took the recommended dose before meals, the excess weight would simply melt like ice on a hot summer day.

"Instant solutions can only give you short-term results. We believe that it is better to have gradual weight loss as a person adjusts his lifestyle by changing his eating habits, adding moderate exercise to his routine and taking Exofat," says Wolfgang Roehr, chairman of Germed Pharma Corporation, manufacturer of Exofat.

Since losing weight is a long-term process, Germed felt that it was better to come up with a product that would not be harmful to the body during the years that it is being used. Which is why for Exofat Forte, Germed took the natural route.

"We are not a backyard operation, we are a pharmaceutical company but we took an approach that was completely different from that of our competitors," adds Roehr. "Together with becoming conscious of what you eat, some moderate exercise and Exofat Forte, you can achieve the weight loss you desire."

Exofat was introduced in the country in 1999 and sales have been up since. Recently, Germed introduced Exofat Forte, a double-strength diet pill. The good news is it is all natural. A regular dose of Exofat (two tablets before each meal) in combination with regular exercise and a healthy diet will help a person shed off as much as 60 grams of fat in their daily food intake.

And just what does Exofat Forte have? ‘’It contains 500 mg of premium grade Liphosan, a specialized fiber that has the unique power to encapsulate fats and oils found in the stomach and small intestines. These fibers are able to carry 12 to 15 times their weight in dietary fats and oils. Exofat absorbs the fat upon contact, and is freely protected from digestive enzymes," says Germed. Exofat also has Oligofructose, which promotes regularity and proper digestive action.

"Our competitors have gone the route of inhibiting enzymes from reaching the pancreas, while Exofat works on the fat-binding properties of the raw material so that when the fat is in your stomach, up to 16 to 18 times the weight of the raw material fat can be burned," says Roehr.

Exofat has gained loyal followers locally, like former beauty queen Evangeline Pascual, dermatologist Dr. Clare Palabyab and TV news anchor Ruth Abao Espinosa who have testified to its effectiveness.

At this testimonial media event, these three personalities share how Exofat has become an integral part of their lives.

"I’ve tried almost every other anti-fat fad out on the market but none of these diet pills can be compared to Exofat in terms of safety and effectiveness. Exofat is not messy like other diet pills which have harmful effects. I’m glad I switched to Exofat," Evangeline Pascual points out.

Pascual confesses she’s mended her bad eating habits and with regular use of Exofat, she’s now able to maintain her showbiz figure.

TV news anchor Ruth Abao Espinosa says she learned about Exofat when she did a story on the product. "I read about the product and I became convinced. I lost 10 pounds in the first few months I was using Exofat Forte. I watched my food intake and I also went to the gym regularly," she notes.

According to Dr. Clare Palabyab, Exofat has helped in regulating her cholesterol levels. "As a doctor I am quite conscious in trying out these diet pills. But with Exofat, I am happy that there’s a healthy product out there for people who are hesitant to use diet medication. I was so happy with Exofat that I’ve been buying boxes and sending them to my relatives in the US. Even my eldest son has lost a lot of weight since he discovered Exofat himself," she reveals.

If anything, the testimonies of these three women are a clear sign that if there is a will, there is a way. In the end, however, there is no safer way to lose weight than by making a lifestyle change. "There is no such product that will make you lose 10 pounds in one week,’’ Roehr emphasizes, adding that Germed would like to educate people on how to best use its product And this he says is where Exofat comes in – it allows a person to eat the good things in life and still look and feel good.
