Starting a new diet is one of the most common New Year’s resolutions. So, what better news than a new diet to help people lose weight and reach their goals?
Dr. Oz recently brought Montel Williams to his show to present a new diet featuring the unique safflower oil supplement SafSlim, a top selling weight loss product at Lucky Vitamin.com.
The latest Dr.Oz diet simply consists of the Saf Slim product, safflower oil supplements (about 6 grams of linoleic acid), safflower oil (2 tsp daily for 7-10 grams) and sunflower seeds (3 tsp daily).
Made by Re-Body, the SafSlim Belly Fat Transformation High Linoleic Safflower Oil is a revolutionary breakthrough in targeted belly fat science. SafActive78 is a patented blend of 78% potency which is the highest concentration of linoleic acid. This product is the first-ever solution to target unsightly and health-threatening fat that accumulates around the belly region.
Sold on television and coast-to-coast, SafSlim’s formula features a proprietary blend of non-GMO, expeller pressed, high-linoleic safflower oil which, according to studies on obese, diabetic women, can significantly reduced belly fat, a 6.3% on average in just 16 weeks. This “belly fat omega” has been shown to activate hormones, such as adipnectin, to help mobilize stubborn dormant midsection fat, curb appetite and improve insulin sensitivity.
Now, back to the Dr. Oz show, Montel stated he used the product for 11 weeks and lost 2-inches off his waist. Montel worked out every day and changed his eating habits long ago, but believes this product gave him that extra boost. He suggested that, in order to get the full benefits, you should take the recommended dosage half hour before meals.

Dr. Oz has recently unveiled a “new diet” to his viewers. Some people think all weight loss diets presented by Dr.Oz are “scams” and none of them really work. On the other hand, some other people swear his diets are the only way to lose weight. So, what is the final verdict? The best answer might be: it depends on the diet and the person.
Some of Dr.Oz’s diets may help people to drop off a few pounds but remember: diet is just one element of a good weight loss program. Exercise, sleep and motivation play a role as equally important as what you are eating during your diet.
Back to Dr.Oz, the latest diet is a combination of three natural ingredients: apple pectin, grape seed extract, and forskolin. This “new diet” comes out a few months after Dr.Oz presented a revolutionarily fat buster combination of Konjac root fiber, raspberry ketone, white kidney bean extract, and L-Carnitine.
Apple pectin may be most important element in this diet as it can promote desired intestinal health without the use of chemicals, in other words, it promotes a healthy body detox. Supplementation of apple pectin can regulate the digestive system and improve bowel movement, both important factors for any weight loss program.
Forskolin is actually making its second run in Dr Oz’s program. Part of the Flat Belly Diet, forskolin is believed to help to mobilize fat right outside of the cell. Since fat cells have fat within them, when you take Forskolin on a regular basis, the fat gets mobilized and blows the fat particles out of the cells, consequently resulting in weight loss.
Lastly, grape seed extract supplements can be used to support many health conditions such as lessen the risk for cardiovascular disease, as well as to treat high blood pressure and high cholesterol. As always, speak with your doctor or health care professional before you start taking any supplement.

Sensa was designed to work with your sense of smell to help trigger sensory specific satiety. The scientific principle behind Sensa is remarkably simple. As you eat, smell and taste, receptors send messages to your brain which release hormones that tell your body it’s time to stop eating. This is a phenomenon we call sensory specific satiety. By enhancing smell, Sensa tastants were designed to help speed up the process and trigger your “I feel full” signal, so you eat less and feel more satisfied.
Sensa works with your body’s natural impulses, rather than against them, there are no feelings of hunger or intense cravings. Over the course of 25 years, Sensa creator Dr. Alan Hirsch has conducted ongoing research on the effects of smell and taste on eating habits, ultimately leading him to spearhead one of the largest studies ever conducted on weight loss.
Over a 6 month period, 1,436 women and men sprinkled scented, flavorless “tastant” crystals on everything they ate. Participants were instructed not to change their existing diet or exercise program. The 1,436 people in the treatment group who completed the program lost an average of 30.5 pounds, nearly 15% of their total body weight. Those in the control group lost only 2 pounds, on average.
Dr. Alan Hirsch, creator of the Sensa Weight-Loss System, has appeared on Dateline NBC, The Oprah Winfrey Show, CNN, The CBS Early Show, Good Morning America and Extra TV. Since its launch, the Sensa weight-loss system has been reviewed in hundreds of local, national and international media sources and is now available at Lucky Vitamin.

Sea Buckthorn has been used as a supplement to treat several health conditions for many years. Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is a tall shrub native to Asia but also found anywhere from the Atlantic coasts of Europe right across to northwestern China. The dried berries and dried bark are used medicinally.
Sea Buckthorn has been used to treat constipation, generally used as a cathartic laxative in northern and central Europe. Sea Buckthorn oil also helps keep your mucus membranes lubricated. In China, Sea Buckthorn is an herbal remedy reputedly used over centuries to relieve cough, aid digestion, invigorate blood circulation and alleviate pain.
In addition, Sea Buckthorn oil is great for your skin, taken either orally or applied topically, and may be used as a skin softener. You can just apply Sea Buckthorn oil topically to your face as part of your daily routine.
However, a recent episode of Dr.Oz show revealed another potential health benefit of this incredible herb: weight loss. During the show, Dr. Oz’s wife explained how Sea Buckthorn berry has helped her with weight loss. Lisa Oz joined the show and revealed what she called a new miracle berry.
Dr. Oz explained that the Sea Buckthorn berry is a super fruit because of all its health benefits. This tart berry contains an Omega-7 fat called palmitoleic acid and it can help you lose weight as it signals the body to stop storing fat.

Summer is around the corner and the sense of “it’s now or never” to get in shape is quickly approaching. Losing weight can be difficult particularly for some people heavily relying on fat burner products to drop off a few pounds.
It is important to remember that fat burners help but they won’t do it all. As we know, a healthy diet and exercise are essential to any weight loss program.
The recent shortage of fat burners has left consumers looking for substitute products, and we couldn’t have a more difficult time of the year to be out of fat burner supplements.
A naturally occurring form of the essential fatty acid Linoleic, CLA helps block fat cells from filling up with fat by interfering with a fat-storing enzyme known as lipoprotein lipase. Additionally, studies have shown that continue use of CLA supplements may help increase lean muscle mass. Most CLA supplements are caffeine-free or contain very small amounts of caffeine in their formulas.
Many people have been able to accomplish excellent results taking natural fat burners such as CLA, along with a healthy diet and a moderate workout program. Most natural weight loss supplements are efficient, affordable and safe to be taken on a daily basis without side effects.
However, if CLA doesn’t work for you, consider other natural options. A new variety of weight loss beverages have been helping people to shape up naturally. These so called “fitness beverages” are a mix of energy boosters and fat burners, containing vitamins and minerals blended in with fat burners ingredients such as green tea extract, chromium, taurine, guarana and ginger extract.

PGX (PolyGlycopleX) is a unique complex of highly-purified, water-soluble, non-starch polysaccharides (plant fibers) developed using advanced technology and combining these natural compounds in a very specific ratio. Considered an effective weight loss aid and dietary supplement, PGX proprietary blend contains mulberry leaf extract, xanthum gum, sodium alginate, and amorphophallus konjac mannan root and products are available in granules, meal replacement powder and capsules.
PGX has a very high water-absorbing capacity and can help increasing the volume of the food you eat, quickly making you feel full, even when your food portions are smaller. Therefore, it is important to drink plenty of water when using PGX to provide a profound sense of fullness.
It is also important to remember that your body needs to burn more calories than it consumes, in order to lose weight. Physical activity increases the amount of calories burned in a day, helping to increase the weight loss amount. However, decreasing the amount of calories you consume can be difficult when you are exercising regularly and PGX can help you with this challenge.
In addition, PGX may support healthy blood sugar levels as well as healthy cholesterol levels. One of the best benefits of this product is that PGX is natural, safe and stimulant free. Made from only natural ingredients, PGX has nearly no side effects. To avoid minor side effects, such as increased gas, bloating, loose stools or constipation, it is best to start with small amounts of PGX and then gradually increase your intake as your body adjusts to the product.

This unusual supplement has suddenly become one of the most searched items at Lucky Vitamin. It is safe to say that not many people had heard of forskolin until it was presented as one of the supplements for Dr Oz’s Flat Belly Diet.
Now, the popular forskolin is being searched and added to everyone’s hottest supplement list, but before you purchase it, let’s find out a little bit more about this natural supplement.
Forskolin, also called coleonol, is a supplement produced from the plant coleus forskohlii, used medicinally in India for many years. Coleus forskolin is believed by many alternative medical experts to cure many diseases and regular supplementation may help to enhance cellular functioning, reduce risk of blood clot formation, fight depression, prevent cancer, reduce ocular pressure, and improve circulation.
However, weight loss is the main reason customers are looking for forskolin supplements. Forskolin helps to mobilize fat right outside of the cell. Since fat cells have fat within them, when you take Forskolin on a regular basis, the fat gets mobilized and blows the fat particles out of the cells, consequently resulting in weight loss.
Clinical studies continue to exam the effectiveness of forskolin as a weight loss aid. A recent study observed forskolin’s role in significantly increasing lean mass, bone mass, and testosterone. As a result, companies are marketing forskolin as a bodybuilding supplement but, despite the encouraging news, more data is still needed to prove its weight loss benefits.
Additionally, coleus forskolin may reduce the risk of blood clots formation and can also be used to promote nerve repair. Some studies have also suggested that forskolin may help reduce urinary tract infections and enhance the ability of antibiotics to kill bacteria that normally survive.
In conclusion, forskolin is a safe and overall good product, which may help with one of the most difficult battles: weight loss. As always, speak with your doctor or health care professional before you start taking forskolin or any other supplement.

A segment of Dr. Oz show recently made viewers aware of one of the benefits of apple pectin supplements. Apple pectin was one of the products featured on Dr. Oz. 5 Minute Miracle diet to promote weight loss, particularly belly fat. Once again, people are trying to find more information about these supplements and Lucky Blog can help, explaining all the benefits of apple pectin.
Apple pectin supplements can be an alternative to promote desired intestinal health without the use of chemicals, in other words: a healthy detox. Maintaining a healthy digestive system is essential for any weight loss program and, therefore, apple pectin supplements are now being promoted for diet and weight loss.
Pectin is a source of soluble dietary fiber and can significantly improve overall digestion. Several fruits are rich source of pectin, including peaches, plums, and, of course, apples. Apple pectin is a soluble fiber considered a general intestinal regulator and many medicinal preparations have been used as an anti-diarrhea agent.
Studies have shown that regular supplementation of apple pectin can regulate the digestive system and improve bowel movement, both important factors in any weight loss program. Apple pectin is believed to have beneficial effects on the digestive tract as it may balance acidity in the large intestine and can promote relief from temporary discomforts of ulcers and colitis.
In addition, apple pectin may provide additional benefits. Studies have confirmed that regular consumption of pectin may reduce blood cholesterol levels as it acts as an antioxidant against the damaging portion of cholesterol in the blood stream.
Lastly, continuous intake of apple pectin supplements may help maintaining healthy blood sugar levels and remove unwanted toxins from the colon, effectively promoting colonic health by cleansing the intestinal tract.

Konjac root fiber, raspberry ketones, and white kidney bean extract. If you haven’t heard of any of these products, you’re not alone.
Dr. Oz had an interesting show last week about a new and revolutionarily fat buster combination: Konjac root fiber, raspberry ketone, white kidney bean extract, and L-Carnitine.
Many of our customers are wondering about this diet and trying to find more information regarding these products. Since three of these supplements are unknown to the majority of us, Lucky Blog will help you understand and learn about them.
White kidney bean extract is known as a carbohydrate blocker and used for those “off” eating days. Taken along with a high-carb, high-fat meal, white kidney bean extract will block those unwanted calories from being stored as fat. White kidney bean extract may keep your blood sugar balanced and help curb carbohydrate cravings.
The Konjac root fiber is more commonly known as Glucomannan, a potent dietary fiber that can absorb up to 200 times its weight in water. A true weight loss helper, it has been proven to slow down the rise in your blood sugar after meals, support healthy cholesterol levels, and speed up metabolism.
Raspberry ketone is a compound found in red raspberries, which basically slices up fat cells, making them easier to be burned as fuel. Raspberry ketones increase the breakdown of fat cells, and can help you feeling full, keeping cravings under control. Raspberry Ketone contain potent fat-loss properties and represent a new tool in fighting obesity and aiding fat loss, many weight loss products already contain this ingredient.
Lastly, L-Carnitine is the most famous ingredient of this diet. This amino acid found in red meats acts as a shuttle, pulling fat into the cell so it can be burned as fuel.
In conclusion, there’s no secret on the success of this new diet. You can certainly maximize your results when you use four different weight loss products in one diet.

Consumers are often looking for new weight loss supplements. Every time a new weight loss product is released, dieters search the web looking for more information about ingredients and side effects as well as product reviews. However, learning about an existing proven product is perhaps a better “investment” than trying new ones.
Chitosan is one of those supplements. Many people have been using it to support diets and weight loss programs for years, obtaining significant results from chitosan supplements in conjunction with proper exercise and a healthy diet. But if you still don’t know anything about Chitosan, no problem. Here’s a quick learning guide about this weight loss helper.
Chitosan is a polysaccharide found in the shells of crustaceans, particularly shrimp and crab. Some dieters say that chitosan helps decrease appetite but its main use is to inhibit fat absorption.
Researchers have found that taking chitosan during a weight loss program increases the amount of weight loss but it is important to note that supplementing with chitosan may also cause the body to excrete some of the important fat-soluble vitamins. Chitosan has the capability to interact with fat from the digestive system and limit their absorption in the body. Therefore, chitosan can be an effective complement to help lose weight during a certain period of time.
Additionally, chitosan may help to lower cholesterol levels and prevent kidney failure. There is no proof of any adverse reactions to chitosan supplements and it has been classified as a safe supplement to be taken on a regular basis.
