AgeForce Weight Loss Patch Experiment - Holding steady at 4 pounds lost and 2 inches in waist circumference





Eight weeks so far I have lost 4 pounds and 2 inches off of my waist. I have to admit to not being the ideal candidate for this experiment due to my lack of being a non dieter. Or maybe I am ideal.

This will be my last week on the patch. I could be disappointed with pounds lost but I am not. Why? Because of the inches lost.


A few basic starting measurements as listed below:

Weight: 222 lbs
Body Fat: 41%
Waist Circumference: 44 inches.
Start Date: 7/6/15



Current measurement of progress.






The workout schedule is listed below in the link below.

My August Training - Century Sets - 100 rep workouts

 

I am amending my workout in that I am beginning a 30 minute jog per day cardio workout. Similar to the below link.

Wish me luck!




The Below Information is from the AgeForce Website:

Formula (Per Patch) Upgraded June 2015
  • EGCG 5mg – From green tea extract is the best-researched anti-inflammatory fat loss adjuvant your money can buy. In its purest form it will fire up your fat metabolism and help normalize your glucose levels.
  • Berberine HCL 10mg – A powerful fat-metabolic enhancer that acts similar to the potent diabetes drug metformin. Just like the prescription medication it acts mainly via an enzyme that's called AMPK. AMPK controls the glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation in your cells and berberine ramps up both of them. Studies have also shown that berberine can reduce the levels of triglycerides and bad LDL cholesterol in your blood, albeit without any of the nasty side effects of prescription drugs with the same effects.
  • 3.5 Diiodothyronine (T2) 1mg – is a downstream metabolite that is a thermogenic activator that promotes the burning of body fat. 3.5 is also the most powerful and effective of the two forms of T2.
  • 7-Keto DHEA 20mg– (7-OXO DHEA) is a naturally occurring metabolite of DHEA that cannot convert to estrogen, testosterone or any downstream sex hormone making it a much safer choice for those wanting the well-known weight loss benefits of DHEA. Clinical trials and peer review studies show that 7-Keto DHEA works as a thermo genic that increases metabolic function and thus causes an increase in energy expenditure. This leads to greater calorie utilization with resulting fat loss. 7-Keto DHEA can also accelerate fat loss is through a reduction of cortisol production which place a roll in the storage of new body fat. So 7-Keto DHEA works two ways, by increasing body fat loss and inhibiting new fat storage.
  • Tyr-Somatostatin 5mg - is an advanced peptide that burns body fat without any of the negative effects of so-called “fat-burners” like caffeine, ephedrine, or guarana, that are used in other over-the-counter weight loss supplements and diet pills. Tyr-Somatostatin does not suppress natural thyroid production.
  • R Alpha Lipoic Acid (RLA) 5mg - is a great antioxidant. It is used in the body to break down carbohydrates, and to make energy. It also restores natural levels of vitamin C and vitamin E.
  • Hoodia 15mg – This is a safe and wonderful appetite suppressant. It doesn’t work when taken orally, but when delivered directly to the bloodstream via our patches, it will suppress appetite and those cravings that make it so hard to eat sensibly.
  • Yohimbine 10mg – Increases lipolysis as shown in multiple studies, especially during and following exercise, thus promoting safe, natural weight loss. Yohimbine is a mild stimulant.
  • Hordenine 4mg – Is an alkaloid that occurs naturally in barley and other plants. It stimulates the central nervous system and promotes weight loss by enhancing metabolism.
Formula Delivery – Our exclusive time-release transdermal patch delivers this directly into the bloodstream over an 8-hour period. This time-release function allows one’s system to efficiently process and metabolize all of the formula’s nutrient dosage.
