What is the Shape Slim diet?

The concept of the Shape Slim diet is calorie control. SHAPE contains high quality functional substances and is designed to detoxify excess fat, sugar and toxins.

Why do we get fat?

One of main reasons of being overweight is that the intake of calorie is more than our basal metabolism of calories.
The basal metabolism is influenced by aging, health and life style, and if it falls then little by little we can put on weight.
It is important to keep our body healthy and metabolism high, but it is often easier said than done.

Which ingredients are effective to control calories?

Gymnema sylvestre controls the absorption of sugar. Garcinia Cambodia prevents the absorption and metabolism of fat. B-complex vitamins and vitamin C are essential for metabolizing fat and sugar. Chitosan balances the vitamins to help the metabolism of fat. Houttuynia cordata improves detoxification.

What are the benefits of SHAPE?

The ingredients work together and allow each tablet in SHAPE to burn an extra 200 kcal. Extra calories in food are discharged before being absorbed (essential nutrients like protein, vitamins, and minerals are absorbed.)

「 Is it good to be skinny?」

Many women in Japan want to be skinny

While the number of obese people is increasing, young women still want to be skinny. One in eight women is underweight. Women are worrying about their weight, and wishing to be skinny from a younger age, and there is concern it will have a serious affect on both their physical and mental health.
What is so serious about the trend is a large number of women go on extreme diets, skipping meals and completely ignoring nutrition and their health.

Being on the wrong diet is a mistake

Extremely limiting one’s diet just to reduce calories causes a lack of the necessary nutrition for our body, which results in problems such as bones becoming fragile or muscle loss. The younger the women start such extreme diets, the higher the chance they will experience health problems such as an imbalance of hormonal secretion from the uterus or ovaries and autonomic nerves. Other health problems that can be caused are anemia, rough skin, low immune system, osteoporosis and mental health problems.
Restricting one’s diet for a short time is also very risky because the body tends to return to its original figure or even bigger, with mostly fat but less muscles and bone density.

What’s making us fat?

Bad nutritional balance is one major reason we get fat. Consuming too many calories, poor nutrition in vegetables and fruits, or the use of additives disturb the nutritional balance of our diet and lead to a lifestyle related to disease or obesity.

Recent trend is low basal metabolism

Basal metabolism is the energy used by the most fundamental human activities such as the mechanism of organs and maintaining body temperature. It declines with age. Muscles consume more energy during basal metabolism, so if muscle is reduced by extreme dieting, less energy is consumed and our bodies are likely to become fat. In addition, the development of technology and transportation means we burn less calories in our daily lifestyle. It is estimated we burn 100kcal less than we used to 40 years ago. It suggests that modern people tend to consume more calories but burn fewer calories.

The correct way to diet

The original meaning of being on a diet is to have good eating habits. Therefore, a good diet is not to reduce calorie intake, but to take better care of our body by saving calories whilst taking enough balanced nutrition. Knowing what weight we should be, and maintaining a good lifestyle and healthy eating habits also help us stick to a good diet.

Start with looking at your daily foods
