Reliv International's Popular Weight-management System Launches In The United Kingdom

Chesterfield, MO, U.S.A., Jan 7, 2008 - (Hugin via ABN Newswire) - SOLIHULL, England, Jan. 7, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Reliv International, Inc., a creator of proprietary nutritional supplements, launched its Slimplicity(r) Weight Management System at the company's national conference in Solihull today.

The Slimplicity system, which is being used successfully by thousands of people in the United States, offers a simple, healthy plan to help people safely lose weight and keep it off.

The importance of effective weight management and weight loss has been in the news in recent months after Foresight, a British government think tank, estimated that 60 percent of men, 50 percent of women and 25 percent of children will be obese by 2050.
The Slimplicity Weight Management System consists of two products. The first is a meal replacement shake that provides a superb balance of vitamins, minerals and protein for optimal nutrition, but with fewer calories than a typical meal. The second is a chewable tablet that works with the shake to support weight management.

"Slimplicity is a powerful partner in weight management," says Vice Chairman of the Board and Reliv's Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Carl W. Hastings. "Slimplicity delivers the most advanced formula for weight management in a simple, two-product system. When combined with our recommendations for an active lifestyle and smarter eating habits, Slimplicity gives you an incredible advantage. This is the last weight-loss program you'll ever need."

The Slimplicity System breaks down weight loss into three simple steps:

1. Mix Slimplicity's powdered formula with skim milk (1.5 percent) and replace lunch with this shake. 2. Use Slimplicity supplement chewable tablets to help support weight management. Take one tablet an hour before each meal. 3. Adopt a smarter lifestyle by exercising and eating fresh, nutritional meals and snacks.

The Slimplicity powdered formula includes 10 grams of protein from whole soy bean powder that makes people feel full and satisfied. Soy helps build more lean muscle, which helps to burn fat. Ingredients such as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) help the body burn fat and build muscles.

Green tea extract, zinc and magnesium, all found in the Slimplicity supplement chewable tablets, work in concert to support the Slimplicity Weight Management System.

Reliv offers a starter kit that makes it easy to use the Slimplicity Weight Management System. Each starter kit includes 1) a four-week supply of the Slimplicity meal replacement in vanilla, chocolate or strawberry flavours; 2) a month's supply of Slimplicity supplement chewable tablets; 3) a "Success Plan" booklet that includes a walking plan, a healthy-eating plan and weight loss tips; 4) a Slimplicity shaker cup; 5) a pedometer to track daily steps; and 6) a "No Cheat Sheet" daily journal to keep track of progress.

"As you use Slimplicity, you may find you have more energy and want to be more active," says Hastings. "And that exercise can help you manage your weight. The bottom line is that this system can help you enjoy a much healthier lifestyle."
