More Muscle. Less Fat.

Under Fat Loss
PROBLEM: Even with the most strict diet and exercise program we all battle with Muscle Loss.
BACKGROUND: We have spent hours upon hours in the gym. Working to grow our bodies, or simply to tone up. But one day we decided we wanted to lose some body fat.
You figure. “Hey what good is muscle if you can’t see it?”
And I totally agree with you, but here is a problem.
Your body is out to eat you alive… sounds a little crazy I know. But as soon as we start eating less, and dipping below our set-point. Muscle becomes the perfect food.
So even with weight training, you start to shrink before your very eyes. The only solution to date was to lose fat so slow that this wouldn’t happen. Say a half a pound a week.
See muscle is crucially important in your long term success. Every added pound of lean muscle mass results in a daily increase in your resting metabolic rate by 50 calories per pound. So if you lose 4lbs of muscle while dieting. You now burn 200 calories less per day, even if you are working out.
For example, if you do cardio and burn 500 calories during that workout, but now have 4lbs less muscle. You really only burned 300 calories compared to day 1 on the program.
But if you were to add 4lbs this would be 200 extra calories a day burned regardless of activity. That’s about 20lbs worth of extra calories burned per year, but on the flip side this could also be how much is gained if you lose that precious muscle tissue.
So what we want to do is protect the muscle you have worked so hard for, but still be able to lose fat fast.
SOLUTION: It’s called Coleus Forskohlii.
Forskohlii has been used for centuries by Hindi for its natural fat-loss enhancing properties as well as a long list of other health benefits for the heart, lungs, and blood pressure. But what isn’t talked about often is its amazing muscle sparring properties. Although it has amazing effects on fat, what made me fall in love with it was the effects on muscle tissue.
Since the method of action in Forskohlii is on cyclicAMP, which regulates the body’s thermogenic response to food, increased metabolic rate, and increases utilization of body fat. This same process causes Forskohlii to preserve muscle, since fat is now the preferred source of fuel.
Take a look at the results from one study after 8 weeks of using Forskohlii.
I have always been told that to lose fat and gain muscle is nearly impossible…not anymore.
BOTTOM LINE: LEANGENIX contains FORSLEAN® the only proprietary standardized extract that is protected by a U.S. Patent. 5,804,596, and contains the effective dose of Coleus Forskohlii. So not only will you be able to lose fat fast, but preserve muscle in the process!
