Sorry to have been so long in updating my blog. Health issues have kept me from posting for some time now. I am back and hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!

Are you already groaning about the amount of sweets that you have imbibed in during the Thanksgiving holidays? Just think, this is just the beginning of the holiday season! We have six more weeks of this to go! By the time that New Years day comes around we can have an additional 10 pounds of love that is adorning our waist and thighs!

So why not do something about it now to combat those additional calories and starches before they put on all those love handles around your hips? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! I would highly recommend looking into purchasing the Acai Berry formula that I blogged about earlier. I have  also found through some extensive research another excellent herbal source of thermogenics. This is a natural substance that increases your natural metabolism and helps your body to burn many more calories than it would normally.

This assists you in weight loss.  It is hard especially in the colder months to get in enough activity to burn off enough calories to be effective for weight loss. Cutting calories can only go so far on a weight loss program. You really need both of these factors working for you to have a weight loss program that will work for you.

The herbal supplement that I found that works as a thermogenic is a derivative from brown seaweed. The name of the compound is fucoxanthin.  It has been used by the Japanese in their diets for many years now. The Japanese are much more healthy than we are here in the U.S. Studies were done to see why this was. The chemical ingedient in seaweed was found to be a major source of benefit health wise for them.

In addition to being a thermogenic or metabolism booster it is also a powerful cartenoid. What this means to you is that it has excellent antioxidant properties.  The additional health benefits of fucoxanthin will be talked about in the next installment of this article.
