Raspberries in the News!
Interest article.
This
month, Japanese dieters will be
the first to try what could soon
become the world’s most
delicious diet pill. Made from
the compound that gives
raspberries their fragrance, the
chewable tablets were proven
during trials to have three
times more metabolism-boosting power than other popular
supplements. In fact, the
average test subject lost 2.2
pounds in a week without making
any other lifestyle changes!
So
when will the pill be widely
available? It could be months or
even years before they make it
to your local drugstore. But
there is a simple alternative,
say researchers. Eat
raspberries! To get enough of
the fruit’s miracle ingredient,
called ketones, you’ll need to incorporate two or more cups of
raspberries into your daily
menus.
“It
worked for me!”
When
Susan Gombert, R.N., first
invented a raspberry diet for
herself, she was pretty
sure
it’d help her shed a few pounds
fast. “I had learned that
raspberries are one of the
highest fiber fruits—and fiber
helps reduce both hunger and the
number of calories
our
bodies can absorb,” says the
Port Washington, New York, mom
of four. “They’re
incredibly low in calories, even
lower than most other fruits. Plus, I’ve found that
raspberries can actually take
away my cravings for chocolate!”
So
Susan began aiming to eat a pint
of raspberries a day, adding
them to cereal or
just
eating them straight from the
container. “I found I
I I I could lose
at least two pounds
in a
week this way, without making
any other changes,” she reports.
“Now if I notice
my
jeans getting snug, I don’t make
a big deal about it, I just eat
raspberries.”
This
might be your weight-loss
miracle if. . .
you’ve always wanted to reap the
benefits of diet supplements
–reduced hunger, fewer
cravings, reduced calorie
absorption and increased
fat-burning power—but have felt
uneasy about taking pills.
“Raspberries are all natural and truly slimming.” promises Joy
Bauer, R.D., author of ‘The
90/10 Weight Loss Plan.’
