Lose stubborn fat from around your belly and maintain your health and beauty without starving yourself, counting calories, or increasing your exercise.  Sound too good to be true?  Here’s what the experts say!

A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition claims that post-menopausal women with type-2 diabetes who added two teaspoons of Safflower Oil to their diet lost 2-4 pounds of belly fat and increased their muscle mass by as much as 3 pounds without changing their diets or exercise habits.  The Safflower Oil was also shown to lower their blood sugar by 19 points.

Research at the Ohio State University showed that the oil blocks belly fat hormones and can reduce fat even without exercising.

Safflower Oil comes from safflower seeds, which is produced by the Carthamus Tinctorinus.  It flowers in July and produces 15-20 seeds per flower head.  The oil comes from these seeds.  It’s rich in Omega-6 fatty acids and has the highest amount of linoleic acid of any seed.  The oil is flavorless, colorless, and very sensitive to light and heat and should be stored in a cool, dark place to prevent it from breaking down and becoming rancid.

A popular misconception is that people assume that fatty oils cause weight gain.  However, unsaturated oils, such as safflower oil, are associated with weight loss and other heath benefits such as decreased risk of heart disease and lower glucose levels.

It can be consumed as a supplement or in liquid form.
