Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What Is Dr. Levine’s Ultimate Weight Loss Formula™ (DLUWLF)

DLUWLF is “The Smartest, Healthiest, Safest, Easiest, and Most Effective Way to Lose Weight™”

DLUWLF is a powder that when mixed in water, creates a ZERO calorie beverage that sends nerve impulses from your stomach to your brain telling you to stop eating.

DLUWLF is the SMARTEST weight loss product because it was created by a real doctor who treats obesity and its resulting complications on a daily basis. It is smart because it also provides numerous other health benefits including cholesterol lowering. DLUWLF is smart because it lowers calorie consumption without restricting foods you crave.

DLUWLF is the HEALTHIEST weight loss product because it uses natural and nutritious ingredients to promote weight loss. The unique formulation of natural fibers, antioxidants, and B vitamins does much more than promote weight loss; it helps reduce your chances of developing diabetes, dementia, high cholesterol, osteoporosis, heart disease, and a variety of cancers. This formula is so healthy it can be used to dramatically lower cholesterol with or without weight loss. DLUWLF even helps remove toxins from your body! DLUWLF is healthy because it does not contain stimulants.

DLUWLF is the SAFEST way to lose weight. DLUWLF contains only healthy ingredients for your body. It does not contain stimulants. Virtually all weight loss products available contain dangerous stimulants that can cause strokes, heart attacks, seizures, hepatitis, and even death! You may not be aware of these stimulants as they are disguised under the names Ephedra, Epitonin, Ephedrine, Guarana, Kola Nut, and Ma Huang-- just to name a few. Make no mistake about it. These are all dangerous stimulants and the majority of weight loss products contain several of these harmful ingredients! You risk damaging your heart while trying to lose weight. The stimulants are also problematic in that they promote yo-yo dieting. They can lead to initial weight loss by speeding your metabolism. Eventually however, your metabolism will revert to normal and you will gain the weight back-usually more weight than you lost. The down-up, down-up, ( yo-yo) dieting is dangerous and stressful to your body. DLUWLF does not contain stimulants and does not restrict foods; weight loss is steady and easily sustained. Where other weight loss products are “heart-dangerous”, DLUWLF is “heart-healthy” due to the protective effects of fiber and B vitamins.

DLUWLF is the Easiest way to lose weight, because it is simple and hassle-free. There is no “will power” requirement. You do not have to avoid foods you like. You don’t count calories or buy prepackaged foods. There is no menu planning. You don’t even need to exercise. You simply mix the pleasant-tasting DLUWLF powder in a shaker cup with water, and shake and drink.

DLUWLF is the Most Effective way to lose weight, because it is so simple and works so well. The fact that you do not need to restrict foods you like makes it seem like you are not even dieting and makes it easy to continue long-term weight loss. DLUWLF is natural and healthy, yet it creates a very potent sensation of satiety that is long-lasting. Most people are able to lose 1.5-3 lbs per week without any effort.

Does DLUWLF Come In Different Flavors?

DLUWLF comes in six flavors-- chocolate, vanilla, raspberry, orange, mango and maple. Which tastes best? They all taste great. If you are a chocolate lover then the chocolate is out of this world! Raspberry and Chocolate are the best sellers. If you have a flavor preference other than these three please email your preference to (help@physiciansdirect.com). If there are enough requests for a certain flavor we will attempt to provide it.

How Long Does a canister of DLUWLF last?

The canister contains 60 scoops or 30 servings. The first canister you purchase will last 6 weeks due to the break-in-period. Subsequent canisters will last one month. You need only take ONE serving per day to get the weight loss, cholesterol or other benefits. The cost of taking DLUWLF is about $2 per day. You should SAVE more than $2 per day in food you will not be eating because you are satiated.

How Many Calories Does DLUWLF Contain?

DLUWLF contains ZERO calories when mixed in water. DLUWLF can also be mixed in any low-calorie beverage. The number of calories would be based on the number of calories in the low-calorie beverage. For example, people mix DLUWLF in low fat or skim milk. A cup of 2% milk is 8 ounces and has 110 calories. Mixing DLUWLF (zero calories) in 8 oz of 2% milk (110 calories) would be 110 calories or 0+110=110.

How Do I Take DLUWLF?

Dr. Levine's Ultimate Weight Loss Formula is very versatile and may be taken a variety of different ways. It can be used to promote weight loss, or to keep your weight stable and optimize your cholesterol levels. Anyone taking DLUWLF, regardless of their baseline cholesterol results, can have dramatic improvement in their cholesterol profile, homocysteine level and hs-CRP quintile (heart inflammation blood test). Improvement in any of these will dramatically decrease your chances of developing heart disease. Imagine what happens when you improve all three! You can take it to promote weight loss, or you can take DLUWLF strictly for the anti-heart disease or other health benefits.

Dr. Levine's Ultimate Weight Loss Formula can be taken

· To prevent snacking.
· To decrease the amount of calories consumed during a meal.
· As a meal replacement once per day. In this case you are substituting a meal (preferably lunch) with DLUWLF (zero calories).

Dr. Levine's Ultimate Weight Loss Formula can be individualized to your diet so that you can have the most effective weight loss.

Is It Easy To Take?

To quote one of my patients, “It is Very Easy to take”. If you can add water to a cup, place the lid on it, and shake 3-10 seconds you can begin losing weight immediately. It is really that simple.

Can I Really Eat What I Want?

Yes! Sounds crazy doesn’t it? This is one of the great advantages of DLUWLF. You can truly lose weight eating the same foods you eat everyday. The reason you lose weight is that DLUWLF causes you to feel full so you don’t eat as much. The smaller the portion, the fewer the calories consumed. DLUWLF can also absorb some fat calories from food that it comes in contact with. It then prevents their absorption and speeds transit out of the body. You will lose weight on DLUWLF eating your current diet. If you want to accelerate the weight loss, you can use more of DLUWLF or you can eat a healthier and less fatty or calorie- rich diet. Exercise is not a requirement to lose weight on DLUWLF. Aerobic exercise can help accelerate weight loss. It is very healthy for you to walk one hour a day if you are capable. The benefits of this type of exercise extend beyond the weight loss. It is common for people who see substantial weight loss to become more motivated about their health. They frequently become more careful about their diet and exercise more. This should be your ultimate goal.

What Ingredients Are In DLUWLF?

Dr. Levine's Ultimate Weight Loss Formula contains five different types of natural fiber, antioxidants and B vitamins. The fibers include pectin, locust bean, guar, psyllium and oat. The B vitamins contain folic acid and pyridoxine. The antioxidants include a proprietary blend of green tea and multianthocyanidins. DLUWLF also contains natural and artificial flavors and Sucralose®. DLUWLF does NOT contain Aspartame® or Nutrasweet®. For our friends who have sensitivity to Sucralose we do have limited canisters that are Sucralose-free and can be home sweetened by you.

Are The Ingredients Natural?

Yes.

Does DLUWLF Contain Gluten or Soy?

DLUWLF does not contain any soy. DLUWLF is safe for most people with gluten-allergy and a number of people who are gluten sensitive enjoy the use of this product and reorder. Gluten allergy and sensitivities are almost always due to problems with a person's sensitivity to wheat, barley, or rye. DLUWLF does NOT contain wheat, barley, or rye. In rare cases, some gluten-sensitive or allergic people cannot eat oats. If you are told by your doctor that you have an allergy to oats you should not order this product as it does contain oat fiber. Once again, most people on a gluten-free diet can take DLUWLF and enjoy the benefits it offers.

Are There Benefits Beyond The Weight Loss?

Yes, there are many. DLUWLF can actually reduce the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, dementia, diabetes, high blood pressure, and a number of types of cancer. Whether DLUWLF is used for weight loss or cholesterol management, it can dramatically improve your entire lipoprotein profile (your entire cholesterol panel).

Dr. Levine's Ultimate Weight Loss Formula™ is a unique, high-potency formulation of fibers and antioxidants that is scientifically proven to be:

Anti- Cancer Anti- Low HDL
Anti- Osteoporosis Anti-Triglycerides
Anti- Heart Disease Anti- Constipation
Anti- Obesity Anti-Diverticulosis
Anti-Diabetes Anti- Hemorrhoids
Anti-Glucose Intolerance Anti-Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Anti-Cholesterol Anti- Homocysteine
Anti-Hypertension Anti-hs-CRP (heart inflammation)

DLUWLF can actually remove toxins from your body. It can directly absorb toxins from what you ingest, and also binds to toxins and speeds their transit out of the body.

Are There Any Side Effects?

DLUWLF contains an ultra-high dose of fiber. Some people have gas, gas pains, bloating, loose stools or more frequent stools when fiber is added to the diet. These symptoms usually resolve within 10-14 days. Some people can immediately take the full dose of fiber without any of these symptoms. Everyone is different. DLUWLF comes with a break-in-schedule so that the fiber is slowly introduced into the diet and symptoms are minimized.

Are There Any Medication Interactions?

There are a few medication interactions that could take place. This does not mean you cannot take DLUWLF with these medications. You can take DLUWLF with these medications if you are under a doctor’s supervision, as your drug dose may need to be adjusted by your doctor.

Potential Drug interactions:

You should not take DLUWLF with these medications unless your doctor is checking levels and working with you to take this product:

1. Anti-seizure medications such as Dilantin, Depakote, Valproic acid, etc. These drugs are affected by many medications, as they are highly protein bound. These drugs can be easily affected by any medication whether prescription or over-the-counter.

2. Theophylline- used for asthma. This is also highly protein bound and affected by both prescription and non-prescription medications.

3. Blood Thinners - such as Warfarin (Coumadin)- This drug is highly bound to protein in your blood and can easily be displaced causing a change in your blood thinning level. Warfarin is also affected by folic acid (vitamin B9) in your diet. This is why doctors tell patients on this medication to eat the same amount of green leafy vegetables daily. The folic acid in the green leafy vegetables affects the ability of Warfarin to thin your blood. Just as you can eat green leafy vegetables with Warfarin if you are consistent, you can also take DLUWLF if you are consistent. DLUWLF does contain folic acid. You should not take DLUWLF without first consulting your doctor. Your doctor will need to establish a baseline “INR” or “protime” (the blood levels that show how thin the blood is) and then adjust the amount of Coumadin you take until the targeted INR blood level is achieved. As an additional safety measure, it is recommended that you not take the Warfarin within two hours of taking DLUWLF, as this will minimize some of the interaction.

Aspirin is a blood thinner, but it thins your blood by a totally different mechanism than Warfarin. Aspirin’s blood thinning ability is not affected by folic acid or protein binding. You can safely take DLUWLF with aspirin.

The possibility exists that any medication that requires your doctor to check a blood level for therapeutic response could be affected by any prescription or non-prescription medication. It is comforting to know that very few drugs require blood level monitoring. The vast majority of drugs do not. If you are uncertain as to whether your medication can be affected by fiber, antioxidants, or B vitamins, please discuss this with your doctor.

DLUWLF lowers your cholesterol-dramatically. DLUWLF can provide great benefits to your entire cholesterol panel whether or not you are on other prescription anti-cholesterol medications. DLUWLF can actually improve your cholesterol numbers and result in taking a lower dose of medications or even the possibility of coming off the medications. If you are interested in reducing the dosage of your cholesterol medications, do not make changes without talking to your doctor. Your doctor will need to check your fasting cholesterol monthly while taking DLUWLF and determine if your results warrant the reduction in medication.

Most of the cholesterol medications are taken at bedtime. Although no drug interactions are known to exist between DLUWLF and cholesterol medication, it is wisest to not take DLUWLF within a 2-hour window of your bedtime cholesterol medications. It is best to take DLUWLF prior to meals as it will absorb some of the fat in the meal and prevent the fat from being absorbed into your body.

If you have any question about prescription or over-the counter medications and DLUWLF you should contact your doctor. Your doctor will need to know that DLUWLF contains fiber, antioxidants, and the B vitamins (folic acid B9 and pyridoxine B6).

Is It Expensive?

No. Dr. Levine’s Ultimate Weight Loss Formula is a great value.
For less than the price of a gourmet coffee you can be enjoying increased energy, weight loss, and improved health. Most people will find that DLUWLF actually saves them money as they will eat less, and spend less money on food and snacks. Many people will save tremendous amounts of money as they will improve their health and help prevent costly medical bills and prescription expenses. The savings in not having to buy monthly prescriptions can be enormous. What is your life worth? The potential value of good health and longer life that results from taking DLUWLF should be viewed as priceless.
Many people are unhappy with their appearance. Losing significant weight can be a real confidence booster. How do you put a price on feeling good about yourself?
