The incidence of obesity and its serious health consequences including high cholesterol, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, joint problems and increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and some cancers continue to rise. In response, a variety of weight-loss diets and meal replacement programs have been promoted as a solution to the problem. Unfortunately, many of these diet programs are difficult to follow and most do not provide adequate amounts of the essential vitamins and minerals.

The Enzyme Diet™ is designed to make weight loss simple and provide all the nutrients the body needs to maintain health and support the metabolism. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this program, Infinity2 conducted a multi-center, controlled trial involving 38 healthy obese and overweight men and women. Subjects were weighed weekly and measurements were taken pre-study and at the end of 4 weeks (28 days).

RESULTS: Overall adherence for all groups was 82%, which is significantly greater than most weight loss programs. All participants lost weight and weight loss ranged from 3 pounds to 17 pounds. Average weight loss for all subjects in all groups was 8.6 pounds. Subjects lost an average of 2.5 inches from the waist, 2.4 inches from the hips and a total of 8.9 inches. There were no changes in blood pressure.

Ten subjects had resting metabolic rate measured weekly during the study. There was a trend toward an increased metabolic rate in most of these subjects, but the changes were not statistically significant. Although metabolic rate did not increase dramatically, it is significant to note that metabolic rate did not decrease as is common with other weight loss programs. These results provide evidence that The Enzyme Diet™ provides the nutrients needed to support metabolism during weight loss.

When the results of The Enzyme Diet™ clinical trial are compared with published results on other weight loss methods, it is evident that using The Enzyme Diet™ promotes significantly greater weight loss than other methods. A study comparing another meal replacement program with consuming conventional foods found that those consuming a meal replacement lost an average 5 pounds in 4 weeks and conventional foods created an average weight loss of 1 pound in 4 weeks. The Enzyme Diet™ weight loss results are also significantly greater than those published in another study conducted by Landers who found that average weight loss in the popular diets such as the Zone and Atkins Diet was only 3.7 pounds for 4 weeks.

CONCLUSIONS: The Enzyme Diet™ Superfood weight loss program produces effective weight loss results compared to other weight loss programs. Additionally, the results were achieved with no adverse effects on blood pressure, cholesterol or metabolic rate. Attrition rates for The Enzyme Diet™ program were low (18%) compared with other weight loss programs (36% or more), indicating that The Enzyme Diet™ weight loss program is both effective and easy to follow. Attrition was substantial for all other plans at 43%, 60%, and 36% for LCHP, Zone and conventional diets, respectively (5). Although this study was only 28 days and involved a relatively small number of subjects, it demonstrates conclusively that The Enzyme Diet™ can be used as a safe, convenient and effective weight loss program. Additional larger, long-term studies are recommended to record the long-term effects of this weight loss program on health.

Although there are published research studies that clearly demonstrate the superiority of meal replacement programs for weight loss, none of these studies have utilized a meal replacement product with the unique nutritional attributes of The Enzyme Diet™

• low in sugar
• free of hydrogenated oils and artificial flavors
• patented, stabilized glutamine
• whole food nutrition
• patented enzyme delivery

The Enzyme Diet™ is a safe, effective product for promoting health and weight loss.
