The statistics are

stunning!

Thirty-four percent of Americans are obese and 32% are overweight.
That means that approximately 2/3 of Americans need to lose
weight. Obesity has doubled since 1980 (National Center for Health
Statistics).

Thirty-two percent of kids are overweight and 16% of American
children are already obese! (Center for Disease Control 2009)

We don’t just need to lose weight to look good in a swimsuit; we need
to lose weight to live and fulfill our God-given missions. Research
shows that obesity doubles your risk of heart failure and triples the
risk of breast cancer in women! The average middle age weight gain

of 22 pounds increases your risk of a heart attack by 75%. But think
about the flip side, by eating the right superfoods, you won’t just lose
weight, but you’ll be changing your life, your legacy, and changing your
world!

So, let’s jump into the nutrients that have been scientifically
supported to help your body burn fat and lose weight.
