         Tony Ferguson's program, XNDO, and indeed most of the packaged formulas, focus on calorie restriction, which lowers your metabolism, and hence is contradictory to your long-term weight loss goals by making it easier for your body to gain weight and more difficult to lose it. Furthermore, the powder is very high in sugar! Just check the ingredients list and Nutrition Panel information. The high sugar content - sometimes as high as 40% - is actually common for many weight loss powders - it pays to check the Nutrition Panel for the amount of sugar content per 100g. Ideally for weight loss, your powder should be high in easily digested Protein, and very low in sugar - less than 4%, or 4g per 100g of powder. Very few of the weight loss companies sell suh powders because they are much more expensive, and the companies are much more interested in their own profit than in your health.

         Another reason the companies love these type of programs is that when you go off the program you inevitably put the weight back, on plus some. So in order to maintain the weight loss you actually need to stay on their programs! Therefore, they get you as a long-term customer. Great for them, but terrible for you!

         A much better way to lose weight is to firstly increase metabolism. For example, did you know that the thyroid is absolutely dependant upon Iodine for production of the thyroid hormones. Without iodine, your thyroid simply cannot produce its hormones. Furthermore, your body requires aditional minerals to convert the primary thyroid hormone, T4 or thyroxine, into the much more metabolically active T3, or tri-iodothyronine. A specific herb is also very effective at increasing your cell's response to T3, thereby increasing metabolism, energy levels, and subsequently - weight loss. Additional minerals are required in adequate quantities in order to encourage the cells to burn fat as a fuel source, thereby increasing energy levels, and also subsequent weight loss.
