Have you ever wondered why rebound is so common after many weight loss programs?
We can promise, you won’t rebound after The Ultimate Herbal SLIM, here’s why.
Why Low Calorie and Meal Replacement Programs FAIL long term
By reducing calorie intake you starve your body of energy causing your metabolism to slow down, making you feel tired and depressed.
This causes muscle wasting and further reduces the ability of your body to burn fat.
After a low calorie diet you are literally starving hungry and the desire to eat has increased, not to mention your ability to burn energy has decreased.
The rebound effect occurs as soon as you finish the program and you pack the weight back on, often more and faster than you lost it. What a waste of time!
Why The Ultimate Herbal SLIM program SUCCEEDS long term
By simply adjusting your eating plan to natural foods you provide your body with pure energy making you feel energized, speeding up your metabolism.
This energizes muscles increasing the ability of your body to burn fat.
We forget about calories and focus on the pure quality of food rather than quantity. Your appetite is naturally controlled by supporting herbs and good nutrition. Your ability to burn energy has increased.
There is no rebound because your diet is natural, your body is well nourished and the herbs have strengthened the health of your digestive organs.
The real benefit of Herbs
In a nutshell "herbs make you stronger". Herbal (or plant) remedies have been used throughout the world for centuries and there is no doubt that populations using herbs as medicines have much stronger constitutions. Man made drugs, artificial health products, fake food and industrialization and the related stressors are our biggest killers. Weight gain is just a part of this picture. Herbs help our body to connect the dots back to nature and trigger healthy metabolic functions, allowing our body the opportunity to heal.
Many reasons why herbs and natural foods are the real solution. Not only to help you gain and keep your ideal body, but also to reduce stress, toxicity and negative emotional habits.
Success on every level.
A successful slimming program will address all of these areas mentioned above and help you regain access to your complete energy supply, mentally, emotionally and physically. Stress gets to everybody sooner or later, causing emotional habits such as food or drug addictions and detrimental weaknesses in attitude.
These things cause us to secrete stress hormones, ingest toxins, eat emotionally and lose touch with our highest sources of energy. The value of nourishing tonic herbs gets largely forgotten by society and living food is often put aside for the many lifeless, processed foods offered by clever marketers. Over many years this cycle of stress, processed foods, ingested toxins and emotional eating becomes habitual and often addictive.
We become less and less connected to our higher sources of energy, our organs can become depleted of nutrients and metabolic processes can become imbalanced.
Maintaining your ideal weight and good looks hinges on breaking these cycles and establishing balance once again. Whole, unprocessed, living and raw foods along with special herbal combinations work to detoxify the body, balance digestive secretions, boost metabolism, reduce cravings and provide nutrients, while books and DVD’s offer methods and understandings on how to connect with more energy and life force.
You can slim and heal yourself without any limits other than those which you place upon yourself. The results possible with my healthy approach can be up to 30 pounds per Herbal SLIM kit, and it can be lost long term.
Not everybody achieves this amount, but 10 pounds (or about 5 kilograms) in the first month is an average result. You can imagine the benefits of moving this weight, such as increases in energy and a release of the associated stored toxins and stress.

One Ingredient in depth - Garcinia
Extensive studies show that hydroxycitric acid (HCA) from Garcinia cambogia suppresses fat production and food intake and induces weight loss.
Garcinia cambogia is an evergreen tree native to South India, South East Asia and West and Central Africa.
Common names are Brindleberry, Malabar tamarind, or simply Garcinia.
The fruit is the shape of a small pumpkin and is yellow to reddish in color.
Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) is the major natural phytoconstituent derived from Garcinia cambogia. It is the principal acid found in the rinds of the fruit.
This fruit has been safely used for centuries in South East Asia to make meals more filling and satisfying. Scientific studies prove what the people of these countries have traditionally known, that HCA increases the intensity and duration of satiety, meaning it increases a sense of fullness for longer.
How HCA works for fat loss
Firstly: Hydroxycitric acid (or hydroxycitrate) was shown to be a potent inhibitor of ATP citrate lyase. This is an enzyme that is involved in fatty acid synthesis and lipogenesis (fat production) during a diet high in carbohydrates. The inhibition of this enzyme, simply put, means that it inhibits fat production from eating carbohydrates
Secondly: HCA fills the glycogen stores in the liver and other tissues, thereby reducing appetite while increasing energy levels. (Glycogen is the form in which sugar is stored in the liver).
What else does HCA do?
All the following actions have been scientifically proven:
1. Scientifically recognized inhibitor of lipogenesis (fat formation). Reduces conversion of excess dietary carbohydrates into fat.
2. Significantly lowers total cholesterol including LDL cholesterol, and lowers tricglycerides.
3. Increases beneficial HDL cholesterol, and increases urinary fat metabolites (a biomarker of fat oxidation or breakdown).
4. Recognized as a safe, natural supplement for weight management, proven by scientific test on animals but also human volunteers. In one study on humans BMI decreased, food intake lowered (indicating appetite control).
5. Lowers leptin, an enzyme involved in triggering appetite.
6. Promotes release of serotonin in the brain which is a feel good hormone and contributes to hunger satisfaction.
7. Increases energy stores in the liver and body, improving your energy and reducing appetite.
8. Shown to be readily bioavailable and safe.
More Benefits
Antioxidant Proven to reduce oxidative stress, inflammation, insulin resistance and body weight.
Oxidative stress is the term used to describe the level of oxidative damage (or free radical damage) in a cell, tissue or organ. Simply put, HCA is a great antioxidant that protects the body’s tissues. This is a major reason why it also reduces inflammation.
Insulin resistance is when the body’s cells are less able, or no longer, able to uptake insulin which carries glucose into the cell. Insulin resistance is an increasingly common disease brought about by excessive consumption of refined carbohydrates (high sugar foods). Garcinia reduces this problem.
No stimulants – No jitters Garcinia is totally natural. Unlike chemical stimulants commonly used in weight loss products, Garcinia cambogia does not act on the central nervous system. This means that Garcinia cambogia will not over stimulate the body or give a jittery sensation. It does not cause insomnia, nervousness, changes in blood pressure or heart rate, its effectiveness will not diminish with time, and it will not stress the adrenals.
Effective dose Dose is important and several scientific human studies have also proven this. Always read your labels and check the doses of the ingredients supplied to you. We have researched the most effective doses of all our ingredients including hydroxycitrate from Garcinia cambogia.
In summary
The Garcinia used in Brett Elliott’s Ultimate Herbal Slim is provided at the potency research has proven to work. It naturally helps to reduce hunger while helping to stop fat from being laid down. It helps increase energy levels, stops that feeling of hunger and lowers cholesterol. Garcinia is a great addition to any weight loss program and certainly deserves its place in the Brett Elliott’s Slim kit.
What is the connection between toxins and excess body fat?
1. The bowel is the greatest organ of elimination.
2. Over years undigested matter commonly accumulates in the intestine. It becomes a putrefying mass of decaying food that ferments and harbours detrimental micro-organisms. It is called mucoid plaque or fecal plaque. It re-circulates toxins into the body.
3. Toxins are then stored in fat cells to protect the body’s tissues from the damage toxins cause. Fat cells multiply to store more toxins.
4. The body’s fat cells will not release toxins into the blood stream if the bowel is not efficiently passing them out of the body. Toxins are stored in this fat.
5. When we go through a herbal detox process removing toxic plaque it helps enormously to rid toxins from both the bowel and the rest of the body. It enables the bowel to function properly again.
6. Therefore, we can get rid of fat and lose weight more easily if we perform an intestinal detox.
In summary:
Toxins are stored in fat cells. Improve toxin clearance via the bowel and you improve the ability for the body to let go of fat! We have often seen people lose between 5kg and 15kg. It’s simply a matter of doing a proper herbal DETOX.
We recommend using the Glycaemic Index (GI) to chose the best foods to help you lose weight or maintain your ideal weight.
First, What IS the Glycaemic Index?
The Glycaemic Index is a number classification of carbohydrate foods. The number indicates the rate at which the sugars (natural or refined) within certain foods are absorbed into the bloodstream and how quickly they affect blood sugar levels.
GI rating
Low GI foods are 0-55
Medium GI foods 56-69
High GI foods 70-100
For example, glucose is extremely quickly absorbed; it has a high glycaemic index of 99, about as high as it gets. Sugar in sweets and candy also has a very high index.
Cauliflower and avocados have a low GI rating. In fact they are zero!
Only Carbohydrates
Only carbohydrate-containing foods are indexed in a GI table. The Glycaemic index does not include foods that have no carbohydrates such as meat, eggs, fish and cheese. This is because they do not have noticeable effect on blood sugar balance. They are far more stable in their effects on your pancreas and give longer sustained and balance metabolic energy. This is why we recommend including some protein each time you eat if possible. A piece of bread and jam will have a higher GI than an egg sandwich because of the protein in the egg…it’s more slowly digested and released from the stomach, to the intestines, to the blood. Or better still, consider greatly reducing or avoiding bread products altogether. You can have bread as an occasional treat rather than eating it as a daily or twice daily meal.
So let’s get the notion out of our heads that all carbohydrates are bad (or fattening). It is the starchy carbohydrates that have the highest GI…think refined products, baking, pastires and bread. Eat moderately, grains and starchy vegetables such as potato - we are not saying avoid them. It is the chronic consumption of high GI foods that causes excessive fat deposits in the body, not the occasional treat. The non-starch or low-starch carbohydrates such as green leafy vegetables and many other like cauliflower and broccoli are the best carbohydrates to consume for a healthy weight loss and maintenance diet.
Serving size still counts
While we are not proponents of calorie counting, commonsense will tell you that serving size is important. The GI will increase relative to quantities eaten. With that in mind, you can eat a lot of green vegetables with a portion of protein and feel satisfied, whereas a chocolate bar will cause you to crave again in a short while.
The Ultimate Herbal Slim helps to balance blood sugars by supporting the pancreas with herbs, but the glycaemic index is an important concept to understand if you want to maintain your ideal weight long term.
