But check this short article summarizing a study of this very subject on weight loss: read and learn!
Promote Healthy Weight with Probiotics
The human gastrointestinal tract requires “good bacteria” to help the body to absorb and utilize nutrients from food properly. Previous studies demonstrate that the intestinal flora of obese individuals differs from that of people of normal weight. Some scientists speculate that this difference may be due to the fact that a diet high in fat and low in fiber promotes certain bacteria at the expense of others. Angelo Tremblay, from Laval University (Canada), and colleagues enrolled 125 overweight men and women to undergo a 12-week weight-loss diet, followed by a 12-week period aimed at maintaining body weight. Throughout the entire study, half the participants swallowed 2 pills daily containing probiotics from the Lactobacillus rhamnosus family, while the other half received a placebo. After the 12-week diet period, researchers observed an average weight loss of 4.4 kg in women in the probiotic group, as compared to 2.6 kg in the placebo group. After the 12-week maintenance period, the weight of the women in the placebo group had remained stable but the probiotic group had continued to lose weight, for a total of 5.2 kg per person. In other words, the women consuming probiotics seemed to have lost twice as much weight over the 24-week period of the study. Researchers also noted a drop in the appetite-regulating hormone leptin in this group, as well as a lower overall concentration of the intestinal bacteria related to obesity. Speculating that probiotics may act by altering the permeability of the intestinal wall and keep certain proinflammatory molecules from entering the bloodstream, which may help to prevent the chain reaction that leads to glucose intolerance, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.View news source…

Does the XM Weight Management System Work?
Does the XM Weight Management System Work?
Twenty pounds doesn’t sound like a lot of weight, but on a petite 5’2″ woman it makes the difference between getting up depressed every morning, searching for something in the closet that doesn’t make you look fat, versus being able to don any dress in the store and feel like a princess.
So many of my professional colleagues are in exactly this place: It’s only been 2 pounds per year, but after a decade there it is – a twenty-pound hula hoop bloating your waist, hips and thighs. And no amount of dieting or exercise can make it go away.
Enter Zija. When I first joined in July 2012, I weighed 127 pounds and wore a lot of black. The first 10 pounds came off fairly easily with SmartMix and the Premium Tea, but then I hit a plateau. In July of 2013, I decided to get serious about the weight loss and started using the PR1ME90 protein smoothies (scrumptious with almond milk and frozen fruit) as meal replacements for breakfast and most dinners. Bingo! The perfect recipe for dropping the second 10 pounds, where I’ve stabilized for the last several months. (See pic of the dress I wore to the Zija Convention in October, 2013.)For people without high blood pressure, who need to lose more than twenty pounds and/or who want the weight loss to happen a lot faster, Zija has a range of thermogenic products like XM+, XMam, the convenient XMburn capsules, and the new Daily Tea with moringa and garcinia cambogia. Fast or slow, a little or a lot – Zija is your delicious, convenient, safe and healthy way to lose weight. Make 2014 the year when your dreams of waking up a princess come true.
