In an article from 10/29/12 from the Dr. Oz website by By Pina LoGiudice ND, LAc, Siobhan Bleakney, ND, and Peter Bongiorno ND, LAc, Co-Medical Directors of Inner Source Health in New York, it states that, "Conventional thought used to consider fats like coconut oil to be unhealthy and contribute to heart disease. We now know that this isn’t true. In fact, coconut oil is actually a heart healthy food that can keep your body running smoother in a few different ways."  "Studies have show that intake of coconut oil can help our bodies mount resistance to both viruses and bacteria that can cause illness. Even more, it also can help to fight off yeast, fungus and candida." Below is a great infographic that explains more of the benefits of coconut oil.

MetaboMax Plus uses synergistic ingredients to affect lipolysis, which gives rise to thermogenisis from fatty acids.

• Synephrine from bitter orange stimulates the release of noradrenaline (or norepinephrine) that binds to receptors on fat cells, causing lipolysis.
• EGCG, the main catechin from green tea extract , enhances noradrenaline action because it inhibits an enzyme that normally breaks down noradrenaline.
• Natural caffeine from guarana and yerba mate interferes with the breakdown of a key mediator in the lipolytic process.
• Capsicum from red pepper decreases appetite through sensory stimulation, as well as binding to the so-called vanilloid receptor. This receptor is important in body temperature regulation.
• Guggulsterones increase the conversion of T4 to the more potent thyroid hormone T3, which is known to stimulate thermogenesis.
• Chickweed interferes with fat absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.

A great weight loss program should also include a exercise and a healthy, sensible diet. And of course, a bit of willpower and a healthy dose of determination doesn't hurt either.
