Is The Fruta Planta Pill Safe For Weight Reduction?

I'm 63, moderately active and in good health. I'm 5 ft. 9 inches and 180 pounds. I'm trying to lose about 15 pounds and finding it hard for the first time in my life to do so. So, is the Frunta Planta safe or not. I'm getting mixed reviews. Been on it for 2 days and finding it easier to eat healthy without junk food. drinking plenty of water. Thank you.

Hello! Thank you for writing. Yes you find it easy to eat less because Fruta planta reduce your apetite. It is not FDA approved. I suggest you better try to control your eating in order to have results and exercise, exercise to lose fat because you will burn more calories. Don't limit yourself in food restriction because you will starve yourself. If you Exrrcise you can reward yourself with a little bite more eating. Try to eat a high protein diet with cheese, egg, cottage cheese, milk chicken, fish and less carbohydrates such as bread, rice, cookies, spaghetti, desserts.The basic components of energy balance include energy intake, energy expenditure, and energy storage.1 Body weight can change only when energy intake is not equal to energy expenditure over a given period of time. Humans take in energy in the form of protein, carbohydrate, fat, and alcohol. Humans expend energy through resting metabolic rate (RMR), which is the amount of energy necessary to fuel the body at rest; the thermic effect of food, which is the energy cost of absorbing and metabolizing food consumed; and the energy expended through physical activity. RMR is proportional to body mass, particularly the amount of fat-free mass. The thermic effect of food is proportional to the total food consumed and, in a typical mixed diet, makes up 8% to 10% of total energy ingested. The energy expended through physical activity, the most variable component of energy expenditure, consists of the amount of physical activity performed multiplied by the energy cost of that activity. When energy intake exceeds energy expenditure, a state of positive energy balance occurs, and the consequence is an increase in body mass, of which 60% to 80% is usually body fat.2 Conversely, when energy expenditure exceeds energy intake, a state of negative energy balance ensues, and the consequence is a loss of body mass (again with 60%–80% from body fat). Any genetic or environmental factor that affects body weight must act through 1 or more component of energy balance.
Best regards.
