===FAT OFF===

You tried a hunderets of diets and nothing works? You are constantly unsatisfied with your weight? Sport doest show the wanted sucess? And you dont believe in wonderpills anymore? Than here is the solution:

FAT OFF doest start any wonder but a simple biological reaction! It works in nature since millions of years and now we make it to our helper.


FAT OFF consists of optimized Lactobacillius. Lactobacillius is a natural bacteria that lives in our gut flora and by this is well tolerated. The FAT OFF Lactobacillus transfers sugar to cellulose wich can be simply rejected by the body. This allows you to eat as much as you want, and whatever you like without putting on extra weight.

UNIPV-Pavia 

Beating obesity by approaching the topic as follows: Our goal is to engineer a strain of Lactobacillus to express the enzymes required for the synthesis of cellulose (a bio-polymer which is non-toxic and non-digestible for humans) from glucose (sugar) in an attempt to reduce the caloric intake of obese individuals.

===FULL&DONE===

Scientists brought to light that glutamate stops our reflex to stop eating when we are full by destructing a special region of the hypothalamus, a central region in our brain. 

To avoid this effect FULL&DONE works like a glutamate defense force that is integrated to your saliva. It detects the appearance of Glutamate. If detected, specialized bacteria create a shell around the glutamate molecule which avoid the absorption into the body.

By this FULL&DONE doesn't only protect you from harmful ingredients but let yourself feel again when you are full and helps, in a natural way, to reduce your weight and to prevent ascendance.
