Below are some questions and answers often asked about our products:

Are these Products approved by the FDA?
In 1986, the US Food and Drug Administration thoroughly evaluated these products and issued a statement declaring the products to be safe. However, the FDA does not actually approve any nutritional product or food supplement, only drugs, medications and medical devices. In addition, we are in 53 countries and each time the products are introduced they are reviewed by that country's government before they are approved for importation and distribution. So we are consistently being evaluated globally!

Can everyone use these products?
Yes. The products are 100% nutritional food supplements, they are safe for everyone. We are governed by product labeling laws, so if anyone could not take them we would need to list that information on the labels. Certain individuals including children, pregnant or lactating women, insulin dependent diabetics and those with compromised kidney function are advised to consult with their physician before beginning this or any other weight loss program.

How do these products work?
Our products supply all the balanced nutrition the body needs on a daily basis individuals who chose to can lose excess weight by reducing excess calories without sacrificing important nutrients like protein, potassium. and iron. As a result, they feel their best while losing excess weight and inches.

Do you lose weight because you skip meals?
No. Our calorie reduced program encourage participants to eat three meals daily. Two meals are in the form of our nutritionally balanced meal replacement, and the third is any meal of your choice. In addition, we have devised a seven day meal plan which is distributed with our programs. Diets which require people to skip meals are unhealthy and stimulate binge eating.

Have these programs been tested?
Absolutely, The programs have had extensive clinical testing in the United States and Great Britain. All of the studies have demonstrated that the products are safe and effective on both the short term and a long term basis. In addition, each batch is quality control tested to insure product integrity before it is shipped anywhere in the world.

Is exercise part of the program?
We encourage participants to follow a healthy lifestyle that includes good nutrition, regular exercise, moderation in the use of alcohol and avoiding tobacco use. The program works even if individuals don't or can't exercise. Many people cannot exercise because of serious injuries or other health problems, yet even these people can use the program successfully.

What do the herbs do and are they safe?
Herbs are nature's bounty. They are rich sources of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and related nutrients essential for good health. The herbal mixtures used in the products have been created by experts to maximize nutritional potency. The herbs are the highest quality anywhere in the world and are free of pesticide residues and other possible contaminants. Tableting of the mixtures occurs under a controlled environment to insure both purity and safety.

What will happen when I stop taking the products? Will I gain all the weight back?
No!!! Not if you continue to avoid unhealthy, fatty, high calorie foods. However, if you go back to your old habits, what else can you expect? You can continue to take Green & Beige if you know you might backslide and you want to stay slim. Another method is to stop taking them and if you notice a slight gain take them as needed. A third possibility is to work out an "off" and "on" program for your self. You will find that Green & Beige is not only the easiest way to lose weight, but also the easiest way to keep from regaining the weight you lost!!!
