According to the manufacturer’s Dec. 15 press release, Curvelle has seen a spike in the number of women rushing out to buy this all-natural weight loss supplement designed specifically for women. Early in December, an issue of First, a women’s magazine, gave positive press to Curvelle, which is believed to be responsible for the increase in sales. In First’s article entitled “Breakthrough FAT BLOCKER,” the magazine says it searched the Web, polled women and consulted with doctors to find a natural alternative to Alli, another over-the-counter weight loss drug. Alli was said in the magazine to cause gas and diarrhea if the user ate more than 15 grams of fat in a single meal.

iSatori Technologies makes Curvelle. CEO Stephen Adele says that “Curvelle is different, which is why it’s getting such positive press. It contains only all-natural ingredients that have been shown to help control appetite and burn excess calories for energy, along with quality antioxidants to help you look great and feel healthy and energetic.”

The First article says Curvelle contains a blend of nutrients – red raspberry ketones, elderberry extract, cinnamon and green tea – that combats fat, gets rid of fatigue and increases metabolism. The raspberry ketones reportedly inhibit fat formation, and elderberry extract stimulates fat cells that leads to calming cravings and speeding up metabolism. Cinnamon lowers blood sugar, and green tea is said to target belly fat.

First College Weight Loss Program Offers College Credits


College Students Can Earn College Credits While in Residential Weight Loss Program

Dr. Daniel Kirschenbaum, a professor at Northwestern University Medical School, says that “a recent national survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control showed that college students increased their rates of obesity more dramatically than any other age group – a 68% increase during the 1990s. Apparently, many college students develop especially poor nutritional and activity patterns, according to the most recent National College Health Risk Behavior Survey.”

In a 2004 online article, “Obesity on College Campuses Continues to Rise Rapidly,” writer Charlae Washington says that obesity rates in college students have doubled over the past 10 years. Contributing to this alarming statistic is the fact that more and more colleges and universities are contracting with fast food chains and marketers of junk food. Further, says Washington, availability of fresh and healthy food is lacking on campus, as is nutritional education about the connection between unhealthy food choices and health problems later in life, including obesity.

In their treatment of overweight adolescents, AOS has demonstrated exceptional weight loss outcomes. It is not unusual for a typical adolescent to lose 80 lbs. over the 7-month enrollment period. Further, maintaining their weight loss has also shown good results.
