We've all known people who faithfully exercise, try to eat sensibly and still can't lose weight. Why is there so much failure and disappointment when it comes to weight loss? Two out of three American adults are now overweight, even though not one of them wants to be. Billions of dollars are spent on weight loss, and well-meaning people spend countless hours a week trying to slim down. Ifs like an endless yo-yo cycle. People lose weight and then gain it back, and more! The number of overweight people does not decrease. WHY?

In the 1990s, scientists discovered a messaging hormone called leptin that is manufactured by every fat cell in the body. Its purpose is to tell your brain that you are full and can quit eating. And it serves as a sort of "on-off" switch in fat cells—a switch that determines whether the cell will store fat or burn fat. But for this switch to work, your brain has to clearly hear leptin's message. When the brain hears the leptin message that you’ve eaten enough, it will decrease your body's appetite and cravings. It will also turn the leptin switch "on" and fat cells will begin to bum fat instead of storing it. On the other hand, if the brain doesn't hear the leptin message that the body has had enough to eat, it assumes that there is a need to keep storing more fat and signals our senses to crave more food and to increase our appetite.

The more fat you have, the more elevated your leptin levels become. And elevated leptin levels prevent the brain from hearing leptin's critical messages. Both the brain and body tissues become desensitized to these messages, a state that is commonly called "leptin resistant." Your brain continues to believe that you need to hoard away even more fat for a rainy day. It tells you: "be hungry, eat and store more fat." And the more fat you store, the more leptin you produce — the more leptin you produce, the more resistant you become, the more fat you store. A truly vicious cycle!

MaxWLX was developed at the University of Minnesota after seven years of scientific research. Max International has obtained worldwide marketing rights for this patented, science-based product. An 8-week clinical trial of MaxWLX conducted at the University of Connecticut showed elevated leptin levels were reduced 42 percent! And lower leptin levels resulted in 21.6 pounds of fat loss! The women in the study lost an average of 3.96 inches off their waist, 3.28 inches off hips and 1.2 inches off each thigh.

Because it takes at least 3 to 4 weeks for leptin levels to move into lower levels, it is recommended that you stay on the product for at least 12 weeks to experience a significant weight loss. User groups have remained on the product long after that point, to continue to lose more weight and to maintain their weight loss by keeping their leptin levels lower, thus reducing cravings and appetites.
