How Effective Is Livlean Formula To Lose Weight?
Question: Hello Doctor,
I was wondering where I could find an unbiased, or reliable medical, review of LivLean Formula #1. I notice that Dr. XXXXXXX has already responded to another person with a similar question, but if you have anything to add, or if you can direct me to another source of information, I would appreciate it. Unfortunately, I have already ordered the product, but I'd still like to know if I'm wasting my time, or even doing myself damage. I'm a 66 year old male, 5'11" and 215 lbs. Although I guess that makes me technically "obese", I'm not really what one would call flabby. I do have more thoracic or "belly" fat than I should have for good health however, and I'm looking to reduce it without a concurrent loss of muscle. I just started a light exercise regimen appropriate for my age. As I mentioned earlier, I'm certainly overweight, but I've been blessed (I assume) with genes that have kept some tone to my body in spite of my neglect. What are your comments about the product and your suggestions.
Thank you, XXXXXXX

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I have gone through your medical history and I realized that :
- you are obese
- and want to lose weight with LivLean Formula #1
- you have "genes that keep some tone to your body in spite of your neglect".
- and you look very sportive and happy together with your friends
Now, the very first thing I recommend to my patients when they want to lose weight, is to understand what is keeping them from losing weight:
- diet? foods? drinks?
- lack of physical activity?
- medications they take on regular basis?
- underlying conditions
So, if I was your caring doctor would evaluate each of them and see why you are not able to lose weight.
Next, at your age, your body is not working as it used to when you was young. So, less calories+more physical activity+less stress= can bring to weight loss.
You have purchased a supplement that claims to reduce weight. I always recommend my patients to see what's inside the supplements they use to understand what effect it will have.
This supplement contains a mixture of:
- vitamins : C, B-6,12, folic acid.
- herbal extracts: milk thistle (silymarin), turmeric, coline, etc.
Unfortunately, there is no medical review of this product, but you can find medical reviews over its ingredients at Pubmed portal.
Hope it helped!
