Weight & Inch Loss

Outer parts of the body, where fat is typically stored, are normally poorly supplied with blood and can be anything up to 10'C cooler than core body temperature. To break down fat you generally need to expend energy, such as that generated in sustained exercise. Exercise increases the Basic Metabolic Rate (BMR) and is widely accepted as one of the fastest ways to use calories. Exercise generates body heat, significantly increasing blood circulation, which stimulates lipolytic enzyme activity (fat burning).

Formostar provides concentrated heat into targeted areas, while still providing an overall body workout, over each 50 minute session. Due to the increase of blood flow during a Formostar session, generated through the concentrated heat, cardiovascular conditioning can also be achieved - the heart must work harder in order to pump blood faster through the body. A person using Formostar 2-3 times per week, as recommended, should experience body reshaping and weight-loss through the break down of fat and the loss of excess fluids and wastes.

The results of the Formostar Clinical Study ('Clinical study for the effectiveness of the Formostar - in depth thermal treatment for weight and size loss and degenerative joint and spinal column illnesses, Dr. med. A. MEDINA and Dr. med. K. RADTKE, 1985, Internal Medicine Department of the District Hospital Rinteln at the Weser - study commissioned by Formostar Germany and available on request) indicated that on average, the control group's results were:

With diet: an average of 6.5 kilos lost in 10 sessions and between 7 and 8 centimetres lost in each of the thigh, abdomen and hip areas.

Without diet: an average of 4 kilos lost in 10 sessions and between 5 and 6 centimetres lost in each of the thigh, abdomen and hip areas.

Sweating also plays a part in the loss with one gram of sweat being equivalent to .586 of a calorie. Hydrating (which we recommend prior, during and after a Formostar session) will replace lost fluid as required but the calories are lost in the process.

Fat is actually quite light, in fact much lighter than muscle. Your body requires a specific number of calories every day to function properly. Individuals with active lifestyles require more calories in their diet than those with sedentary lifestyles. If your energy intake consistently exceeds your energy output, you will begin to notice a change in weight.

For every 3500 calories consumed beyond the energy needs of your body, you may gain approx a kilo. On the other hand, creating a deficit of 3500 calories can result in the loss of a kilo. Consequently to lose one kilo a person needs to burn 7000 calories.

Formostar will be of most value with a balanced exercise and eating programme. People participating in diet programmes can sometimes experience a plateau effect. Combining Formostar sessions with diet can overcome this effect and accelerate results. Even people that lead a very sedentary lifestyle can still achieve results over a longer period, assuming that they exercise adequate control over dietary and other general health factors.

Results will be dependent on each person's particular make up and physiology. Basic body shape also plays a part in how quickly the results will be achieved. Generally, the greater the excess weight being carried, the faster and more dramatic the body reshaping and weightloss results can be.
