What to Expect from PGX

PGX not only is a powerful tool for weight loss; its impact on improving your over-all well-being is immeasurable.

One of the actions of PGX is that it gently expands in the digestive tract which helps you feel full and satisfied for hours as well as balances your blood sugar. It may take time for your body’s digestive tract to get use to the added soluble fibre. For the first few days some people may experience gas, bloating, loose stools or diarrhea. To get your body accustomed to PGX we recommend you start off with a 1/2 dose of the Meal Replacement or Appetite Control Fibre Blend until the symptoms subside, then gradually increase the dose as tolerated. In most cases bowel symptoms diminish as your body becomes accustomed to the increased fibre and the colon “learns” to recover the absorbed water from PGX.

Smaller people, with lower appetites, may find that 1/2 servings are enough to keep them completely full for hours and they may be better to stay with smaller serving sizes. On the other hand, very heavy people with voracious appetites may have to take several doses of PGX per day to achieve opti- mal appetite control. The good news about PGX is that it is just healthy fibre and nearly all of us need far more fibre in our diets. Your

PGX is the result of many years of extensive clinical and laboratory research at the University of Toronto, in collaboration with Canadian Center for Functional Medicine. These years of research, which culminated in the development of PGX, have been documented in numerous pub- lished scientific papers and presentations to major scientific organizations such as the American Diabetes Association*

(a fully referenced scientific monograph discussing the science behind PGX can be downloaded from:

www.SlimStyles.com/PGX/monograph).

When mixed with water, PGX initially creates a smooth appealing texture. Once ingested, PGX continues to thicken and expand for one to two hours as it absorbs water. To avoid a sense of dehydration, it is important to drink lots of water with PGX. By expanding in the stomach and intestine, PGX keeps appetite under con- trol for several hours and provides a sense of fullness. The viscosity (thickness) and expansion of PGX is greater than any other fibre or fibre blend ever studied.

Both the viscosity and the volume of a food in the stomach and intestine have a great influence on that food’s ability to control appetite and provide a sense of satisfaction. So effective is the appetite controlling properties of PGX that many very heavy or even morbidly obese people are finding this to be a dramatic weight control breakthrough.

How does PGX

control appetite?

1. Volumetric effects

PGX absorbs up to 600 times its weight in water, causing it to gently expand in the digestive tract creating a satisfying sense of fullness.

2. Viscosity

PGX is the most viscous (thickest when added to water) fibre ever found or created.

The viscosity keeps the small intestine working for hours and signals are sent to the brain that keep you feeling satisfied.

3. Blood sugar & appetite hormone control PGX keeps blood sugar from rising too high after meals and it also eliminates hypoglycemic cravings 1 to 3 hours after meals. PGX also normalizes insulin levels

Insulin Resistance – The Greatest Plague of the 21

Century

The dramatic increase in weight problems and obesity seen around the world over the past 20 years is resulting in a cata- strophic rise of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and many other serious health problems. Science now tells us that almost all of the health risks associated with increased body fat occur because overweight people develop insulin resist- ance, a state in which insulin no longer works efficiently and the body compensates for this by producing higher than normal amounts of insulin. Insulin resistance (and elevated insulin levels) exist in most people even in the earlier stages of being overweight (especially when that weight is around the belly). Insulin resistance results in elevated blood sugar (from mild elevations to serious diabetes), hypo- glycemic food cravings and excessive appetite, overly efficient fat storage, increased blood pressure, damage to the heart and blood vessels, inflammation and many other abnormalities. As many as 40% of North American adults and an ever increasing numbers of children now have some degree of insulin resistance.

PGX may be the most effective solution for insulin resistance ever discovered!

Research presented at the 64th Annual Scientific Session of the American Diabetes Association demonstrates that in over- weight, insulin resistant subjects, PGX lowers after-meal blood glucose by approx- imately 20% and also lowers insulin

secretion by approximately 40%, produc- ing a whole body insulin sensitivity index improvement of nearly 50% – a phenome- nal accomplishment that is unequalled by any drug or natural health product. Be- cause insulin sensitivity is restored, when PGX is used regularly, hypoglycemic crav- ings are eliminated and reducing food intake becomes a much more achievable goal.

When PGX is used regularly reducing food intake becomes a much more achiev- able goal because insulin sensitivity is restored which eliminates hypo- glycemic cravings.
