The Use of ProShape / Master Amino Acid Pattern during Weight Loss Diet

At the same time, it provides a reduced amount of non-essential nutrients, to obtain the negative energy balance necessary to induce the catabolism of fat tissue.

As a result, this weight loss diet can successfully prevent or halt those anomalies commonly associated with other weight loss diets, such as hypoglycemia, loss of body constituent proteins, hunger, weakness, headache.

• Vegetarians: substitute chicken or fish with your usual source of vegetable proteins.
• Diabetics: consult your physician to reduce, if necessary, the amount of allowed fruit or vegetables.

Caution:

1.The weight loss diet must not be performed without taking ProShape / MAP. ProShape / MAP cannot be substituted, under any circumstance, with any other amino acids composition or dietary protein. If you don't take the suggested dosage of ProShape / MAP: • the amount of your body constituent proteins decreases; • your water and sodium retention, as well as your body weight, increases; • hunger and/or weakness may arise.

2.If you do not eat the required daily amount of allowed food, your metabolism (the biochemical modification of chemical compounds in living organisms and cells) lowers. As a result, fat tissue catabolism, and weight loss could halt. Under these circumstances, hunger, weakness, hypoglycemia, headache by ketosis, or decreased libido may arise.

3.If you eat food to which salt has been added, your body water and sodium retention would increase, thus increasing your body weight. Under these circumstances, weakness and general discomfort may arise.
