The Canadian Center for Functional Medicine conducted a weight loss trial from December 2003 through February 2004, the most difficult time of year for people to lose weight. The Center found that participants following the SlimStyles weight loss program consistently lost up to two pounds per week, which was primarily body fat. In addition to the loss in body fat, the SlimStyles weight loss program maintained lean muscle mass and did not affect body water levels. The participants' metabolic rates were normalized, making it easier to keep the weight off – no rebounding effect. (These results may vary and depend on successful participation in the SlimStyles weight loss program.)

Besides increasing insulin sensitivity, SlimStyles with PGX™ normalizes other important appetite hormones and supports healthy cholesterol levels while providing beneficial fibre. In fact, research on PGX™ is so impressive that it was featured at the American Diabetes Association’s annual meeting in June 2004.
