When we say “I want to lose weight” what most of us really mean is “I want to lose fat and look more toned.” The problem is, losing fat and maintaining muscle tone at the same time isn't easy. On a low calorie diet, muscle can be lost as the body uses this as its most convenient supply of energy. Irish natural healthcare company Lifes2good have addressed this problem with a weight management range called Slender, which Amanda Brunker recently discovered.
Amanda Brunker (33) discovered Slender a few months ago and has lost 2 stone and dropped 2 dress sizes. Amanda was a size 16 before starting on the Slender programme and is now a healthy size 12. Following the birth of her two sons, Edward Patrick and Setanta, the former Miss Ireland, Model, Features Writer and Author, felt she had been pregnant and frumpy for too long so she decided to do something about it and started working on an amazing new look.
Amanda commented: “I wanted to lose my post pregnancy weight gradually and I wasn’t interested in a quick fix – I wanted long term results! I was beginning to despair and started to think I would never shed the baby weight. That’s when a friend recommended I try Slender Xcellerate so I decided to give it a go as I had nothing to lose except the weight!”
Slender, a naturally based range, from Lifes2good offers a complete programme for weight management which includes Slender Cleanse, Slender Xcellerate, Slender Night and Slender Pu’erh Tea. The Slender programme is unique in that it works 24 hours a day, helping users reduce fat, maintain and improve muscle tone and give measurable, inch loss results. Slender Xcellerate and Slender Night can be used on their own, or simultaneously and with diet and exercise for more dramatic results.
Slender Xcellerate easily fitted into Amanda’s hectic lifestyle. “All I had to do was take 3 tablets a day – one after every meal. Running around after my two boys helped me exercise and I have been Irish dancing as I was training for Celebrity Jigs and Reels Show. I ditched junk foods and took on a healthy heating plan, of course allowing myself the odd treat too.”
Slender Xcellerate is a convenient and safe way to slim containing Active Green Tea extract which helps prevent the absorption of fat digested in the body.
Slender Night works during the recuperative phase of sleep whereby the body uses it as a convenient source of collagen to repair the day’s wear and tear. Users have also experienced a more refreshing sleep, more energy and brighter, clearer skin.

As one of TV’s most well groomed presenters, Jennie Bond knows just how important it is to keep up appearances. So when Jennie recently discovered that her hair was thinning, she was naturally concerned.

If you’ve ever felt isolated and embarrassed by thinning hair you’re not alone. A staggering one in three women and one in two men will suffer from thinning hair at some point in their lives with poor diet, smoking, stress, pregnancy, childbirth and the menopause all common causes of the condition.
