The Ultimate Cheat 'n' Eat diet system.

CHocolate +
EAT =
CHEAT!

Don't change what you eat, just cheat!

And let people watch you cheat and ask you what you're doing...then you just have to to tell them!

Losing weight never tasted so good.


2Thin™
with clinically-proven PinnoThin® and FucoxanThin and the finest
high ORAC polyphenol-rich pure chocolate available...mmmmm



Use Geon 2Thin™ - healthy liquid chocolate appetitite control sticks along with
Geon FOCUS™ - cappuccino-flavoured energy drops and you have the Cafe Mocha Diet.

Chocolate & coffee - appetite control and energy - dream combinations.




2Thin™ is the evolution of the food supplement - it tastes like food but works like a supplement should!
Directions: Take up to four 2Thin LiquiPod stickpacks each day 30 minutes before food ideally, according to your need, to help you feel satisfied and stave off the feelings of hunger..

Open the LiquiPod and drizzle the delicious liquid chocolate into your mouth or your favourite drink (it turns an ordinary coffee into a great-tasting mocha!) - or even on your breakfast cereal!

It tastes so indulgent you'd never guess it was good for you. It's the ultimate diet-cheat - let people watch you cheat and ask you, "What are you doing?"
We start with the most flavonoid-rich, highest antioxidant value pure chocolate available - called CocoanOx12% because it has a minimum 12% flavonoid content (normal chocolate has between 4%-5%)
Instead of the usual cocoa butter or vegetable oils, our liquid chocolate emulsion uses state-of-the-art healthy lipids - that's good-for-you-fats and oils to you and me.

o
Award-winning and clinically proven PinnoThin is healthy korean pine kernel oil that has been shown in trials to promote satiety - that's a fancy term for feeling full or satisfied after eating.

o
And coconut oil (or to use its technical name - Medium Chain Triglycerides or MCTs) is actually a healthy saturated fat (bet you never thought you'd hear that). Yes in this case don't let the name Triglyceride put you off - MCTs are actually good for you because your body doesn't store them as fat but actually is able to use them as energy, much like it uses carbohydrates, but without triggering the insulin response (the main cause of your body storing fat) associated with eating carbs.

And the reason it's called 2Thin ...?

We've told you about PinnoThin, but had you heard about FucoxanThin?

FucoxanThin is a derivative of brown seaweed which is thermogenic - in other words it raises your metabolic rate and your body's ability to burn fat.

We combine this with yet another hot new weight control ingredient Green Tea extract. Our 4:1 extract is high in the flavonoid EpiGalloCatechin Gallate ( EGCG) also a potent thermogenic, fat burning ingredient and numerous studies have show it to help move that stubborn fat on your belly.
And last but not least we add the m ost effective form of chromium - chromium polynicotinate to help your body regulate insulin and blood sugar - a major contributor to your body's fat stores.


SUMMARY
You can take up to four 2Thin™ LiquiPods each day 15-30 minutes before you plan to eat. Simply tear open the 2Thin™ LiquiPod stickpack and squeeze the contents into your mouth, or mix in your favourite beverage. The oils in 2Thin™ have been made completely water soluble by Geon’s proprietary emulsion technology. Suitable for hot and cold drinks.

Remember 2Thin™ is a SATIETY product which means that after digestion to triggers the mechanism that tells your body you are full. Do not expect it to work immediately as your body needs time to respond - 30 minutes at least. Don't make the mistake of eating immediately after and expecting to feel full - give it time. You will find that with continued use you will naturally eat less as your body gets used to recognising the satiety signals. That's why we suggest you use it as a between meals snack or cheat product, with coffee or direct into the mouth.

The clinically proven dose of PinnoThin to curb appetity and creat satiety is 3gm per day which is why we sugest you can take between one and four LiquiPods on a regular basis as each LiquiPod contains 750mg of PinnoThin along with other synergistic weight loss and appetite ingredients.

2Thin™ is synergistic blend of the clinically proven satiety ingredient, PinnoThin® with FucoxanThin, a thermogenic seaweed extract, with Green Tea, coconut oil, and chromium in an indulgent, high antioxidant and flavonoid-rich chocolate that just takes your mind off food.

It makes losing weight so much easier that you’d ever imagine. Not a diet in itself, yet 2Thin™ will help any diet work better, or you can just take it for its heart-friendly, healthy lipid and antioxidant benefits.

KEY INGREDIENTS AND RESEARCH

PinnoThin®
Clinically-proven PinnoThin suppresses the desire to eat and targets weight reduction at the source. PinnoThin helps to lower calorie intake and is a 100% natural, vegetable-based product. PinnoThin™ is based on pine nut oil derived from the nuts of the Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis). The oil of these specific nuts contains more than 92% poly-and monounsaturated fatty acids. It is especially rich in very long chain fatty acids, such as pinolenic acid. Pinolenic acid is an omega-6 fatty acid, which has double bonds in the cis- configuration. Korean pine nuts contain about 40 times more pinolenic acid than, for example, Italian stone pine nuts.

PinnoThin™ stimulates the release of the hunger-suppressing hormone CCK (CholeCystoKinin) and GLP1 (glucagon like peptide), which not only helps the body digest fats better but also sends a "full" feeling to the brain, decreasing the desire to eat.

In a randomized double blind study PinnoThin™ has been proven to:

Significantly increase the release of CCK and GLP1
Promote a feeling of satiety or "fullness"
Suppress the desire to eat
Help reduce excessive caloric intake

The beneficial effects of PinnoThin™ have been demonstrated clinically at a dosage of 3 grams per day which is exactly what you get in four 2Thin™ LiquiPods daily. When combined with the other ingredients in 2Thin™, these results are significantly enhanced.

FucoxanThin
Fucoxanthin is a carotenoid that is responsible for the brown coloration of various species of brown seaweed that has recently been identified as a potential natural fat burning compound. An animal metabolic study completed at Hokkaido University in Japan suggests that fucoxanthin promotes fat burning within white adipose tissue cells by increasing the expression of thermogenin [1]. An additional animal study conducted at the same university reported that fucoxanthinol (metabolite of fucoxanthin) exhibited suppressive effects on lipid accumulation and decreased glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity, an indicator of adipocyte differentiation [2]. Two additional animal studies by the same university concluded that even further white adipose tissue reduction was achieved with combinations of fucoxanthin and fish oil [3] and fucoxanthin and coconut oil or MCT (medium chain triglycerides) [4]. Many other cellular and animal studies have reported that fucoxanthin has cellular health benefits [5] and can increase liver DHA levels, thus potentially decreasing blood glucose [6].

FucoxanThin is believed to target a protein called UCP1 that increases the rate at which abdominal fat is burned. Works synergistically with PinnoThin®, Coconut oil (Medium Chain Triglycerides) and Green Tea extract in the fight against fat

CocoanOx®
CocoanOX® 12% uses a patented process to preserve the cocoa’s natural content of cocoa polyphenols, more specifically flavonoids, which have been demonstrated to have numerous healthy benefits attributed to their antioxidant properties, especially with regard to the aging process and heart health. Most notably, they have been observed to lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure, promoting beneficial cardiac health. CocoanOX® is primarily composed of highly bioavailable monomers and dimers, ensuring that the body is able to use these beneficial flavonoids.

* Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, a measure of an ingredient’s capacity to ‘mop’ up free radicals compared with other foods

Coconut oil (MCTs)
Coconut oil is comprised of Medium ChainTriglycerides (MCT), another healthy fat which is used by the body as a source of energy like carbohydrate instead of being stored as fat. Useful for a healthy cardiovascular system and can help give a feeling of fullness.

Green Tea Extract 4:1
EGCG (EpiGalloCatechin Gallate) high antioxidant green tea extract which studies have shown inhibits absorption of fat from the intestinal tract, and activates fat-burning and increased energy expenditure. Green tea is often associated with calorie-burning properties because it contains EGCG, which increases the body's rate of thermogenesis, or heat production. This indicates that green tea may help move along the metabolic process, means if you're sitting at your desk drinking green tea you may be burning more calories than if you were sitting at your desk drinking pure water. In one study of EGCG, energy expenditure was compared in men who were given green tea extract versus caffeine or plain water. The green tea extract caused a 4% boost in metabolism. The amount of extract given was approximately the amount reported to be in a cup of green tea.

Chromium Polynicotinate
This more natural form of chromium polynicotinate (not the synthetic picolinate), provides two major ingredients of the glucose tolerance factor: chromium and niacin (nicotinic acid). Chromium is involved in the metabolism of glucose and the synthesis of cholesterol, fats and protein. Chromium is essential to maintain stable blood sugar levels by helping insulin do its work, and so can be helpful for people with diabetes and hypoglycaemia (see caution below). Chromium has also been used successfully to control blood cholesterol, and it promotes the loss of fat and increases lean muscle tissue. Studies have shown it may increase longevity and help prevent osteoporosis. Chromium deficiency, which is extremely common, can lead to fatigue, glucose intolerance, Syndrome X (hyperinsulinism), poor protein metabolism and increased risk to coronary artery disease.

Caution: Chromium can reduce the need for insulin, and people with diabetes should therefore use it only under the supervision of a qualified medical doctor.

Alginate
an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickener which is derived from kelp (iodine rich seaweed) which can help modify the appetite and glycemic index of foods
