Our Ayurvedic Herbal Weight Reducing Medications FAQ's HERBOSLIM's Weight Loss Programs Q1) Why should I reduce? Ans. The success of a weight reducing program is based on extreme motivation and co-operation on the part of an obese person. You must really want to reduce to look and feel healthy. Anyone who wants to reduce must feel strongly enough about it so that he or she adheres to a reasonable reducing regimen and adhere to it full time. One cannot follow it three days a week and hope for results. As you will see our IHP Program with a balanced Nutrient diet requires certain adjustments in eating habits. Nothing drastic at all. Just sensible eating. Perhaps substituting fruits for fried foods as a snack. But you have to make these adjustments rigidly. You have to build up your will power. You have to realise that fat is not just a matter of not looking good or a cosmetic problem. It is a major health problem to millions and millions of people in every walk of life. According to research studies carried out by the Metropolitan Insurance Company of USA, the death rate for obese men ranged 75% higher than that of men of normal weight. For obese women the rate was as much as 61% above normal. People 7 to 10 kgs overweight have a death rate 10 percent higher than normal. The rate grows proportionally higher with additional kilos (pounds). Similar is the case of Obese persons proneness to diseases of all kinds, which become a nuisance while one lives on. Hence one can say that there is more than glamour in keeping slim, it can be a matter of life and death. Q2) What If I do not lose weight immediately? Q3) Weight loss programs have short lasting effects - One puts on weight again? Ans. Most weight loss programs are temporary in nature, that is why you have to be careful in selecting which program is good for you. The manner in which this program is different is that we base our HERBOSLIM Health Perfect Program on a natural body cycle of loosing weight. This means that we use a combination of diet therapy along with Ayurvedic formulations. These go hand in hand with each other and enable you to loose weight at the rate of 1kg. per week. Since the program is based on pure logic and scientific reasoning it gives you results. You have to try it to believe it, in order to loose weight. Q.4) Are there any side effects? Will I lose some hair? Ans. None that so ever. Hair loss is due to vitamin deficiencies which can take place whether you are on weight loss or not. There are a lot of reasons for hair loss, one could be having hyperthyroidism, or some skin infection. While loosing weight, if your vitamins intake is correct then there are virtually nil chances of hair loss. However if you have been advised vitamins and if you don't take them, it might result in hair loss due to deficiency. In case of IHP Weight Loss Program, we try to prevent this by recommending you vitamin supplements. Will I feel weak? In any way? Will there be any effect on the skin? Will it loose its lustre or glow? Will I get wrinkles? Q. 5) How does HERBOSLIM's Weight Loss Program work? Ans. The program works with the simple combination of diet therapy and Ayurvedic formulation along with a brisk walk of 30 minutes, daily, either in the evening or in the morning as per convenience. There is just nothing else beyond this. Click here to further know (more about our diet section) Q. 6) I don't want to take pills? Ans. The contents of the pill are displayed, if you want to go through them. It is not a secret, most of them contain ayurvedic formulations which helps you to correct your metabolism from within and improve it as per your individual physiology. For instance, you may have more vat or cough in your system, so this has to be corrected if you are on the weight loss program. Just following a diet may help you to loose about 4 to 5 kgs. Beyond that you may get stuck, that is when the pill comes in, because they prevent you from getting stuck. That means they will prevent you from lowering your metabolism. If you start your weight loss program with BMR (Basic Metabolic Rate) of 1,000 calories, you will end the program with the same metabolic rate. Which means it will be impossible to regain your weight again unlike most other programs. These pills apart from correcting your metabolism, also help you to burn fat effectively. That means the fat is converted into energy because you are taking these pills. These are purely ayurvedic and are 5000 years old and they should be taken up if you want to loose weight effectively. You also have a choice of not taking the pills and doing only with the diet, but there is no guarantee that your metabolism will go down. There is no way we can improve apart from exercise. You could do the exercise and diet and not the pills. You can start taking pills after sometime, you can try it because the cost of the program without the pills is same. You could do the diet for 5 weeks, and from 6th week start taking the pill if you are on a 10-week program. Q.7) I have been exercising but have not lost weight - How will YOUR HERBOSLIM program help me? Ans. Exercise is always used for increasing your metabolism, increasing your skin texture, improving your muscle tone, increasing vitamin update for avoiding depression. These are the reasons why one should exercise. Weight loss can be seldom achieved by vigorous exercise. You may have to exercise for at least a hour & half every single day, for one month to just knock of about 3 to 4 kgs. Which is an impossible task for most people. Hence if you combine it with a sensible diet program like recommended at HERBOSLIM's diet section, you could benefit by loosing at least 1kg. per week. Q.8) I once joined a Weight Loss Program, lost weight, only to put it back again. How is your HERBOSLIM program any different? Ans. HERBOSLIM's Weight Loss Program helps you to keep your metabolism rate constant, even at the end of the program. This is achieved by the help of our time tested herbal formulations. This means that if you start by burning 1,000 calories, you reach the end of the program by burning the same amount of calories. Hence when you go back to normal diet, you maintain your weight because you are burning the same amount. In other cases you don't take these herbal medicines, and you don't exercise. Thereby your body gets used to working at a lower metabolic rate i.e. your metabolic rate goes down from 1,000 to 200. Now when you go back to your Normal Diet, the balance of the 800 calories shows up quickly and you regain your weight back fast. Hence people seldom gain weight on our program. The is further achieved during the maintenance program attached to our weight loss program.Q.9) I loose weight and thereby will you help me to stay at the same level also? Ans. Certainly, for 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months depending upon what course you are joining, the maintenance months will let your body settle and get accustomed to your new self. The maintenance months come as a bonus with each diet program and at no extra cost. Q.10) When I do dieting on my own I feel very weak and am unable to do even my routine work? Ans. Normally when people go on a diet on their own they start counting calories and hence the food quantity is reduced automatically. Calories are reduced. So less nutrition goes in - vitamins and minerals in your system. Naturally you feel week and you will be unable to do work. Where as on this program, main thing is that we are not counting calories on any type of the diets. It is based on food combination. The quantity of food eaten does not matter. It is the type of food we eat that matters. All the types that we select are high in nutritive value and since the quantities are unlimited the person is never weak Q.11) I am a heart patient? Can I safely lose weight? Ans. Well it will benefit you. You are the right kind of person who actually needs a weight loss program. Regular, healthy , obese people do it for cosmetic reasons. You will actually be doing for health reasons. Your triglyceride levels would go down, your lipid profile will improve. You could probably check these after a month of being on the program, you can take your reports to day. You could find a lot of difference. In case your triglycerides and cholesterol are fine you will benefit since weight loss is beneficial for a healthy heart. Q.12) I am a cancer patient? Ans. Well this is also beneficial to cancer patients. In this case the rate of weight loss should be slightly slow because the levels of immunity need to be maintained high (& that's very important). So we make you loose approximately ½ kg in a week. Q.13) I am a diabetic. Can HERBOSLIM help me? Ans. Unless you can monitor your own blood sugar, and you are not on insulin. If you are not on any of the oral medicines for hyperglycemia then it will be easier. As a result it will just be the diet you are handling. (if you are type II diabetic). Q.14) I have a very high cholesterol level? Ans. Then you are a perfect candidate for our IHP weight loss program. Your cholesterol level will certainly go down whether you like it or not. Q.15) I have Bone degeneration? Ans. Well you could be put on certain diets, which will help in bone formation, along with the weight loss program. This can be kept in mind during your program administration. For further information and pricing for special diet charges please contact - info@herboslim.com Q.16) I have urinary / renal problem? Ans. Well we can treat you with hydrotherapy, where we could give you lots of water to take during the program. We think you will be Okay with that. Q.17) I have high blood pressure? Ans. Your B.P. could go down & you can do the program. If you are on any BP medicine , then after loosing 8 to 10 kg. You will have to keep in touch with your family physician. In all likelihood the program will make you reduce your dosage, as on the program your blood pressure will come down towards normal. This might prove too much for you, you may have to reduce your dosage of medicine or stop it completely & what else could be better than that. Q. 18) I am loosing weight but my face is getting wrinkles? Ans. It depends on your age , if you are around 58 years, face would have lots of wrinkles before or after the program. And your chest would go down to the extent , that it was at that particular weight. So you can't have the legs of 75 kgs person, waist of a 52 kg person & the chest of a 65 kgs. person. It has to be balanced depending upon what weight you are currently. Measurement increase and loss is proportionate to what extent you are at that particular weight and particular age. Q. 19) I have been dieting on my own and lost some weight, but thereafter it appears that I have reached a plateau (after 4/5 kgs) …. How can IHP Program help me? Ans. This means that you have been eating less and your body has got used to that less amount of food intake and hence the body has stopped burning fat. Where as what we do is to prevent that plateau with: a) Herbal medicines that never let you reach that plateau. b) There are some combination diets which when you follow weight loss has to take place. However still, unless we don't check you out and we don't confirm from our side whether it is really a plateau or not, we cannot agree with what you are saying. Infact we don't think you could have reached a plateau, losing any 2 to 3 kgs. When you are doing it on your own you are just counting the calories and not taking the herbal combination diets. Doing it by yourself and coming to a professional set-up does make a difference somewhere. Q. 20) To control high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, which oil should be used for cooking ? Ans. All the oils have the same calorie values. Therefore one is not more fattening than the other. However the type of oil you use has a great bearing on Heart health. Groundnut oil is beneficial for health. Q.21) How to consume soyabean in daily life? Ans. Add Soya atta to wheat atta in the ratio of 1:10. The taste and texture of the chapattis made out of this atta will be the same as the normal wheat chapattis. Q. 22) What should one eat for a healthy and glowing skin? Ans. Drink a glass of raw vegetable juice everyday for at least a month, made from half bunch of spinach plus two carrots OR two carrots, two tomatoes and one beet. Q. 23) How do I lose weight? Ans. Loss of weight in terms of inches as well as pounds will be observed depending on the amount of superficial or deep-seated fat in the body. Each person's build varies and therefore the responses also vary. Sustained weight loss can only be achieved with a change in lifestyle. Any drastic weight loss is followed by the body gaining it all back over a period of time. What is most effective is to cut your food intake by 40 per cent, drink not less than eight glasses of water a day and go for some form of exercise at least 5 days a week. A brisk walk is something most people are able to stick to on a daily basis. Anything too strenuous is usually not advisable since your body just gets plain worn out and you tend to quit. As for the type of food, eat everything but with a 40 per cent reduction. Denial of certain foods only leads to frustration and eventual lapsing. Try our HERBOSLIM capsule formulations for permanent weight reduction and see and feel the difference. Q. 24) How Can I Reduce My Abdominal Fat? There are many factors responsible for abdominal fat like processed food, refined sugar, lack of exercise etc. But the following two factors are mainly responsible for abdominal fat deposits. STRESS ALCOHOL STRESS : Stress has become part of daily life. Job pressure, financial insecurity, problems in personal relations, traffic & pollution all take a heavy toll of our mental well being. All the above factors combined with continuous negative thinking and not living in the present moment lead to a pressure-cooker environment of the mind All of us lead a life either in the past or in the future. Either thinking about the past or fantasizing and worrying about the past. Nobody seems to be living in the present moment living every moment and enjoying it. This constant oscillation of the mind from past to present and present to past like a pendulum takes a heavy toll of your mind and body. Ageing becomes accelerated and the efficiency of the body's various organs becomes very low. Stress is the main cause of stored toxins in the body. These toxins impair the normal functioning of the various fat burning and excretory organs like thyroid gland, lever, kidney etc. This results in the body not being able to cope up with even normal pressures exerted at various levels due to work or food and the net result is obesity and weight gain. Accumulated stress and anxiety from daily stress full modern living releases a hormone known as cortisol. Research indicates that Cortisol is the hormone responsible for preferential deposition of fat in the abdominal area. So if you want a sexy six pack, getting rid of stress is very important. There are thousands of books on relieving stress and positive thinking. But no book has the exact answer for the varied stressful states of mind. Your breath has a vital connection with your mind. By concentrating on your breath you can control your wandering mind and bring it to the present moment. Various breathing techniques, Yogasanas and Pranayamas have the power to expel toxins and stress out of your mind and body and make you more and more centered. You can learn about these techniques in the e-book "Proven Weightloss Secrets Revealed". ALCOHOL : Alcohol consumption leads to abdominal fat. Stanford university school of medicine has reported a link between drinking alcohol and abdominal fat. Recent finding reports that alcohol drinkers have atleast twice the hip-waist ratios as compared to non-alcoholics. Alcohol also seems to make the body burn less fat and favours fat storage and subsequent weight gain. The main problem with alcohol drinking is that the stomach walls directly absorb alcohol. Since it never reaches intestine, the intestine doesn't give "full" signal to the brain. This causes the person to eat more. It has been observed that you tend to eat atleast 400 calories more when you are drunk. So, to reduce abdominal fat you need to reduce alcohol consumption or atleast reduce fat consumption whenever you drink. Spot reduction of abdominal fat is very difficult because fat melts evenly throughout the body. As such to reduce abdominal fat you must strive to reduce fat all over the body. Expelling the toxins out of your system and correcting the body's fat burning mechanism can achieve this. Alcohol also seems to make the body burn less fat and favours fat storage and subsequent weight gain. Additionally, doing crunches regularly will help you a great deal in overcoming excess abdominal fat. Q. 25) How do I lose Weight without Exercise? Exercise is very important for losing weight. Exercise increases metabolism, improves the efficiency of the various organs responsible for fat burn and builds lean muscle mass, which in turn burn more fat. Still if you are overweight/obese, only doing exercise is not a wise thing to do. In fact, you can really loose a lot of fat without even lifting a finger! What this means is that only doing a lot of exercises without correcting the basic fat burning capabilities of the body is bound to end in ultimate failure and despair. Processed food has destroyed the basic functioning ability of your body. Over-cooked food, which is devoid of any life-giving enzyme, doesn¦t provide any nutrition to the vital organs. All this onslaught of junk food combined with sedentary lifestyle and an environment full of stress results in accumulation of toxins in your body. This accumulation of toxins throughout the body undermines the functioning of the organs naturally designed to burn fat. So the most easy solution to excess fat is,
We can eliminate almost 90% of all the toxins from our system by this method. Various yogic breathing techniques and regular practice of "Pranayama" will help you greatly to achieve this elimination.
The organs like lever, kidney and colons are always overburdened with excess stored impurities and toxins in them. This results in their not functioning at peak efficiency, which causes storage of excess fat in the body. Hence cleaning the accumulated garbage in these organs is very important. This can be achieved by various cleaning techniques with the help of oils and herbs like Olive oil, Terminalia Chebula, Emblic Myrobalan and Belerica Myrobalan etc.
2% of the toxins are eliminated in this manner. Giving steam bath is a very effective method to eliminate fat and toxins through this route.
Eating more and more raw vegetables and foods gives the body essential enzymes needed for burning fat. Raw food means live food and live foods give life to the ailing organs of your body. Substitute atleast 25% of your daily intake with raw fruits and vegetables.
There are many herbs recommended by the 5000 year old AYURVEDA system of medicine which can effectively improve the functioning of your body's fat burning organs and increase metabolism. Chief among them are Aloe Vera, Comniphora Mukul (guggul), Terminalia Chebula, Belerica Myrobalan, Emblica Myrobalan etc. Consuming these herbs in proper dosage will definitely improve the fat burning capacity of the body. The sole purpose of this document is to give you a right picture about the mechanics of weight loss rather than to discourage you from doing regular exercises. Remember that doing regular exercises is very important for fat loss but doing it in conjunction with cleaning and correcting your internal fat burning mechanism is Smart Work.Q.26) How Is My Liver Responsible For My Weight Loss Or Gain? The main function of liver is to convert food to energy, and produce chemicals and enzymes necessary to burn fat. Liver stores iron reserves and vitamins and minerals and makes bile to digest food. It also manufactures cholesterol. It filters and detoxifies – alcohol, wine, harmful drugs, stores energy or glucose and removes the poisons and toxins that you breathe. Your Liver is the key organ responsible for breakdown of fat. It is a common fact that large percentages of overweight people have malfunctioning livers. The liver produces bile, a byproduct of blood filtering. Bile leaves the liver and is stored in the gall bladder. When fat is eaten, the gall bladder releases bile to emulsify the fat into tiny droplets. Without bile, fat digestion is impossible. Since the liver is the key organ for fat digestion you must make an effort to keep the liver in very good health if you want to loose fat. You can take care of your liver in the following manner.
If you need a natural solution for rejuvenating your liver, I recommend HERBOSLIM for you. Q.27) What Is Panchakarma? What is panchakarma and how it can help to overcome obesity? Panchakarma is a a purification process recommended by the 5000 year old ayurveda system of medicine. Unlike modern medicines ayurveda recognizes obesity as a desease and recommends the following fool - proof measures for removing fat from the body. Purification : The average persons body is full of toxins. These toxins have accumulate in the body slowly over a period of time. These toxins are a result of negative emotions, stress and wrong eating habits. Unchecked, these toxins accumulate in the fat cells making them rigid and difficult to dislodge. To get rid of fat, removing these toxins from the body is very essential. Without removing toxins from the body .. fat removal is impossible. This is the reson why so many diet programmes have failed. To purify the body of toxins ayurveda recomends a comprehensive cleaning programme known as "Panchakarma" Panchakarma is an effective tool to remove all the toxins from the body and get fat loss benifits as a result. Panchakarma involves the following steps :
Its the most comprehensive cleaning programme under the sun. Once the body gets rid of all the unwanted toxins and dirt, the fat loss is automatic. You feel lighter .... more energetic and look years younger than your age. Unfortunately Panchakarma can only be performed effectively under institutional surroundings, as is being done in various Ayurvedic spas in India and abroad. HERBOSLIM preparations have most of the goodness of Panchakarma, in a natural formulation processed over well over 5000 years of study and found to be highly effective and mostly without any serious side effects.
