TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

A traditional appetite suppressant recently touted by TVs Dr. Oz is changing the way Americans lose weight, and the popular ingredient could soon find its way into Neutra Corp.s (OTCBB:NTRR.OB - News) new Pure Plus Weight-Loss supplement.

Dr. Oz called African Mango a miracle in your medicine cabinet while introducing it on his show, causing a surge of new interest in the traditional weight-loss remedy. African Mango seed is harvested in West Africa, where locals have used the natural extracts to promote many health benefits.

The results of a double-blind, placebo-controlled research project on the effects of extract of African Mango was carried out in 2009 and later published in the international scientific journal, Lipids in Health and Disease. The study found that the extract Irvingia Gabonensis naturally acts as a very strong appetite suppressant by influencing the way the brain works.

Irvingia Gabonensis increases the bodys production of Adiponectin, which improves sensitivity to insulin and enables the body to burn more fat. With Dr. Oz touting the miraculous ingredient on his show, interest in this hot new weight-loss remedy has exploded. Adding African Mango to the Pure Plus Weight Loss supplement and enhancing its properties with our unique bio-energy infusion could prove to be a major boost to NTRR in differentiating its product from the competition once it hits store shelves.

Pure Plus products are formulated using a unique Bio-Energy infusion process that turbocharges select ingredients on the sub-atomic level, increasing the potency of their effects. In evaluating the benefits of adding African Mango extract to its formula, NTRR plans to test the potential fat-burning boost delivered by Bio-Energy infusion of the ingredient.

Neutra Corp. is developing Pure Plus Weight Loss and other new products to compete in the fast-growing nutraceuticals industry alongside Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE:HLF),Vitamin Shoppe (NYSE:VSI),Nutraceutical International Corp.(NASDAQ:NUTR) andSchiff Nutrition International Inc. (NYSE:WNI).

NTRR Studies African Mango Recommended by Dr. Oz for Weight-Loss

(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- The traditional diary program to lose weight has been revolutionized. Now advancing technology is allowing people to electronically record their diet and physical activity programs on their personal digital assistant.

The SMART study (Self-Monitoring and Recording with Technology) has proven that the device is significantly more efficient than a paper diary.

The devices people used provided personalized dietary and exercise feedback messages to better their weight loss goals. They adhered to five treatment factors for weight loss including attending group sessions, meeting daily calorie goals, reaching weekly exercise goals, meeting daily fat intake goals, and monitoring eating and exercise.

The SMART study involved 210 obese adults, 84 percent women and 79 percent white, who either used a handheld electronic device without feedback, a handheld device with daily feedback, or a paper diary. Those who used the electronic devices initially did better than those who used a paper diary in meeting attendance, self-monitoring, and energy and exercise goals.

The group that received daily messages from their device had more than a five percent weight loss at six months, but adherence declined and weight gain occurred over time. At 24 months weight loss was similar across the three groups; however, it was slightly better in the group receiving feedback.

"The results suggest that using an electronic diary improves treatment adherence. Over time, participants' adherence declined, particularly in the later phase as contact frequency declined and subsequently ended. Adherence in the paper diary group declined more than in the device groups," Lora E. Burke, Ph.D., study author and professor of nursing and epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh, PA, was quoted saying.

All participants in the study recorded their exercise levels and daily beverage and food intakes. Those who used devices were shown their consumed daily calories and fat grams and compared them to targeted amounts. Those who used devices with feedback received messages on their diet once as day and exercise every other day. Thirty-nine group sessions were offered to participants in the first 18 months and one "maintenance" session in the last six months.

Dr. Burke believes that more frequent contact during the last half of the trial would have made adherence better. The study confirms that withdrawing or reducing contact will result in weight regain.

"The technology used in the study has since been upgraded, but the concept is the same for smart phones and self-monitoring applications," Dr. Burke was quoted saying and is now conducting a study using smart phones to monitor the triggers for relapses.

Electric Diary Program Helps Obese Adults Lose Weight

SAN DIEGO, March 20 (UPI) -- U.S. researchers said if a parent is worried about the weight of their child, the parents should lose weight themselves and their children will too.

Kerri N. Boutelle, an associate professor of pediatrics and psychiatry at University of California, San Diego, and Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego, and colleagues said 31 percent of U.S. children were overweight or obese -- between 4 and 5 million children.

"We looked at things such as parenting skills and styles, or changing the home food environment, and how they impacted a child's weight," Boutelle said in a statement. "The No. 1 way in which parents can help an obese child lose weight? Lose weight themselves. In this study, it was the most important predictor of child weight loss."

The study involved 80 parent-child groups with an overweight obese child ages 8-12, who participated in a parent-only or parent plus child treatment program for five months.

The study focused on evaluating the impact of three types of parenting skills taught in family-based behavioral treatment for childhood obesity: The parent modeling behaviors to promote their own weight loss, changes in home food environment and parenting style and techniques -- for example, a parent's ability to help limit the child's eating behavior, encouraging the child and participating in program activities.

The study published in the journal Obesity found, consistent with previously published research, parent body mass index change was the only significant predictor of child's weight loss.

Adele is trying to trim her famously robust figure by two dress sizes, reports say.

While the British songstress appeared to have slimmed down considerably following her throat surgery last fall, sources tell The Sun that the singer is on a health kick and is looking to lose even more weight. Not only has the star quit smoking, but she is focusing on working out. Sources claim that the singer has been exercising twice a week with a personal trainer and plans to add to that regimen.

Though Adele looked slimmer than usual at the Grammy Awards, source say she is looking to drop more pounds.

"Adele has found so much more energy now that she's quit smoking. She really wants to get healthier, now that she's half-way there," says the source. "She had always been curious about taking up Pilates but until recently there just hadn't been any time."

Should the six-time Grammy winner slim down, she will need to be careful about how she presents her weight loss to fans. When she was called "a little too fat" by Karl Lagerfeld in February, the singer shot back, "I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that. I don't want to be some skinny mini with my tits out. I don't want people confusing what it is that I'm about."

Adele looking to lose weight

Adele reportedly wants to lose weight.

The 'Someone Like You' hitmaker has apparently embarked on a fitness regime in a bid to drop two dress sizes before the summer.

Having shed several pounds after undergoing surgery on her vocal chords last year, Adele has also quit smoking and is said to been keen to continue her good work.

A source told The Sun newspaper: 'Adele has found so much more energy now she's quit smoking. She really wants to get healthier, now that she's half-way there.

'She had always been curious about taking up Pilates but until recently there just hadn't been any time.'

Last month fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld came under fire after branding Adele a 'little too fat', but the 23-year-old singer insists she would never lose weight for anyone other than herself.

She told People Magazine: 'I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that.

'I'd lose weight if I was an actress and had to play a role where you're supposed to be 40lbs lighter, but weight has nothing to do with my career. Even when I was signing , most of the industry knew if anyone ever dared say to me, they wouldn't be working with me.'

Adele is apparently hoping to drop two dress sizes, despite previously stating she doesn't want to lose weight.

According to The Sun, the Someone Like You singer has started a new training regime and hopes to shed the pounds before the summer.

It is thought that she has already given up smoking since having throat surgery last year and has been working out twice a week at her home with a personal trainer.

The newspaper also claims that the 23-year old's pal Alan Carr has introduced her to Pilates, with Adele planning on taking her dog running with the comedian.

A source revealed: "Adele has found so much more energy now she's quit smoking. She really wants to get healthier, now that she's half-way there.

"She had always been curious about taking up Pilates but until recently there just hadn't been any time."

Despite the reports, the Chasing Pavements hitmaker has previously stressed that she has no desire to be skinny, stating in a previous interview: "I've never seen magazine covers or music videos and been like, 'I need to look like that to be a success.' I don't want to be some skinny mini with my t*ts out."

Managing your calorie intake, along with regular exercise, is absolutely necessary for healthy weight loss. And when you combine the two, you can lose weight and keep it off permanently.

But how do you get yourself to consistently cut calories to lose weight while eating healthy?

Here are some proven tips you can put to work immediately to start cutting hundreds of calories a day on a healthy diet and begin losing weight right now. Remember, every calorie counts.

Cutting Calories to Lose Weight

For a start, use smaller plates or bowls for all your meals and measure your portions by the cupful. This simple step will help you cut back on calories and still eat healthy foods.

Also, never ever eat any food straight out of the box, bag or container. Thats the easiest way to go totally unconscious about what youre eating and how many calories youre consuming.

And, if you want to lose weight fast and safe and stay healthy, you definitely need to be conscious of how many calories youre eating and know how many calories to lose weight.

You can also cut hundreds of calories a day by drinking nothing but pure, clean water rather than fruit juice, sweetened iced tea or sodas (whether theyre diet or not). For example, a 12 ounce can of soda has ten or more teaspoons of sugar adding up to 150 calories per can.

And did you know that sugary drinks dont really quench your thirst? Theyre diuretics that cause excess urine elimination, which only makes you thirstier. Sugary drinks also dull your taste buds, which makes you crave more sugary drinks. In other words, sugary drinks are addictive.

So, since sodas contribute to emotional eating and overeating, its best to stick with water.

PARENTS wondering how to help their overweight children to slim down could do well to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

Researchers found that obese youngsters were far more successful at shedding the excess pounds if their parents got in shape with them.

"We looked at things such as parenting skills and styles, or changing the home food environment, and how they impacted a child's weight," said study author Dr Kerri N Boutelle at UC San Diego.

"The number one way in which parents can help an obese child lose weight? Lose weight themselves. In this study, it was the most important predictor of child weight loss."

Researchers from UC San Diego and the University of Minnesota looked at 80 parent-child groups with an eight to 12-year-old overweight or obese child. They participated in a parent-only or parent and child treatment program for five months.

The study focused on evaluating the impact of three types of parenting skills taught in family-based behavioral treatment for childhood obesity, and the impact of each on the child's body weight.

These were: Behaviours to help the parents lose weight and act as a role model, changes in the home food environment and parenting techniques (such as the ability to limit the child's intake).

The researchers found it was only when the parents slimmed down that the children consistently did likewise.

They concluded in the journal Obesity that doctors should focus on encouraging parents to lose weight to help their overweight or obese child in weight management.

"Parents are the most significant people in a child's environment, serving as the first and most important teachers," said Dr Boutelle.
