Diet and weight management should be about achieving optimum health first and foremost, with a better looking you as the bonus for your effort. Of course, the reality is that many of us start with the aesthetics and take improved health as the bonus; and if the desire to be beach body ready means that you achieve better health, that’s okay! Whatever your motivation the hard truth is that there are no secrets or silver bullets when it comes to weight management, there really are no substitutes for healthy eating and regular exercise.

1. Don’t skip breakfast: missing meals doesn’t help weight loss, you may miss out on essential nutrients and it can lead to more snacking. Choose protein to reduce cravings and feel fuller for longer.

2. Eat regular meals: regular eating or grazing through the day helps burn calories and reduces the temptation to snack on high fat, high sugar foods. 

3. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables: lower in calories and fat, higher in fibre, rich in vitamins, mineral & antioxidants.

4. Move it, move it: Studies show regular activity is key to losing weight and keeping it off, as well as providing numerous other health benefits. Find an activity you enjoy, it doesn’t have to be the gym!

5. Drink plenty of water: Sometimes people confuse thirst with hunger, and consume calories when what they need is a glass of water. Drinking a glass a water before meals can help you eat less. 

6. Eat high fibre foods: Foods like fruit and vegies, whole grains and legumes are fibre-rich and help you feel full.

7. Use a smaller plate: helps accustom the brain to eating smaller portions without feeling hungry.

8. Don’t ban foods: Banning foods, especially ones you like leads to craving. Occasional treats within your daily calorie allowance are fine.

9. Purge the pantry: Don’t keep junk food, swap it for healthy snacks and avoid temptation.

10. Cut down on alcohol: Alcohol is loaded with calories – where do ‘beer bellies’ come from?

11. Plan your meals: Plan meals for 4 to 7 days ahead to help make sure you stick to your daily calorie allowance.

12. Don’t shop when you’re hungry: Avoid high calorie impulse buys! 

Garcinia Cambogia, also known as Malabar Tamarind, Brindleberry, and Kudam Puli, is a tropical fruit mainly found across India and Southeast Asia. It has centuries of traditional use as a condiment and as a remedy in Ayuvedic medicine. More recently the focus has fallen on a component found in the fruit rind called Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA). Laboratory, animal and human studies have shown the potential for HCA as a weight management supplement supporting fat metabolism, appetite and cravings. Research indicates most effect at higher doses between 1500mg and 2800mg of HCA daily.

Most Garcinia supplements in New Zealand use extracts containing 60% HCA, or between 300-600mg per tablet/capsule. Sanderson GarciniaMAX 95% HCA is different. The state of the art extract used in GarciniaMAX contains 95% HCA; so each tablet contains 750mg Hydroxycitric Acid, and just two tablets delivers the 1500mg daily dose suggested in research.

The tablets are suitable for vegetarians.
