About Us

THE FAT LOSS LABORATORY has an effective and individualised approach to weight loss and well-being that is anchored in medical and scientific research. It is based on the proven premise that hormonal imbalances result in weight gain. Restoring hormonal balance therefore results in rapid, but safe, effective and sustainable weight loss.

There are three main hormones that control your metabolism - the way your body synergizes the proteins, carbohydrates and fats that form tissue and store energy. These are:

• Human Growth Hormone
  This is your natural fat-burning, anti-ageing hormone. It is mainly responsible for skin elasticity and muscle retention. As you lose your weight, your skin will tighten and firm. Your skin will also refine itself. Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is secreted by your pituitary gland. Your body naturally stops producing HGH gradually from the age of 21, (as is also the case with Collagen and Elastin) and this is what we all know to be to the ageing process. What we are going to do is to re-trigger the secretion of HGH in a very natural way.
  
  
• Serotonin
  This is your "happy" hormone and is released in the nervous system. Serotonin helps to control thyroid function as well as food cravings. As we create a hormonal balance in your body, you stop craving the foods that you know are bad for you. Serotonin is also a mood regulator which means that feelings of anger, depression and anxiety are automatically lifted. It also controls your appetite and has a lot to do with your metabolism. It also works with your sexuality, so your sex drive is known to increase dramatically.
  
  
• Insulin
  This is the regulator of your sugar/glucose levels. Produced in the pancreas, Insulin is the central metabolic control mechanism in your body and breaks down sugar and starches.

If any or all of these hormones are imbalanced, they do not work together as they should and your body holds on to excess weight. Once we balance these hormones, you naturally start to shed your excess weight.

In people with weight problems, HGH levels drop unnaturally, high levels of insulin are released and serotonin is not properly released in the brain. As a result, sufferers constantly crave food and gain weight whether they eat a little or a lot.

THE FAT LOSS LABORATORY'S weight loss regime relies on correct hormonal stabilisation and balance, using proper nutrition coupled with a sound multivitamin and an omega-3 supplement. We do not count calories. Rather, our weight loss regime is based on achieving a natural chemical reaction in the body that is triggered using food types in specific quantities and combinations.

Our weight loss regime is unique because it is based on the results obtained from a specific set of blood tests. The blood tests allow for an analysis of certain aspects of your system, which in turn indicates what is required to get your body's hormones back into synchronised balance.

Based on this careful analysis of your blood test results, a weight loss regime is prepared specifically for you that will eliminate excess body fat and create hormonal balance without leaving you feeling weak or hungry.

The duration of your weight loss regime depends on a number of factors, specifically
- your blood profile, NOT YOUR BLOOD TYPE; and
- your hormonal imbalance.

The minimum weight loss is 7-10kgs over a 4-week period

The final and crucial stage of the regime is the 4-week blood test which enables us to establish your weight management regime. The weight management regime takes place at the end of your weight loss regime when your body has achieved balance - i.e. you have reached your goal weight. Normal or so-called "bad foods" are reintroduced in to your regime without shocking your body into returning to fat-storage mode.

The regime not only changes your hormonal structure and metabolism so that your body processes food more efficiently, it also helps you develop healthier eating habits and adopt lifestyle choices that ensure that you maintain your weight and are able to finally break the obesity/yo-yo dieting cycle.
