Frequently Asked Questions

Is this diet safe? Yes, it is very safe! Of course, we strongly advise you to discuss this with your family physician prior to starting this or any other weight loss program. But the Active 8 Better Health-Better Life Diet Program has been used by many people in clinical trials and studies and found to be very safe. There are no drugs involved and no stimulants. All the supplements are manufactured in an American laboratory of a major pharmaceutical company. They are FDA-certified of the highest standards and quality. They are guaranteed safe and effective.

Can I be on the diet if I have diabetes or high blood pressure? Yes, and in both cases this diet truly helps both conditions. If you have diabetes, you are strongly advised to consult your physician. Diabetic patients should follow this program only under the close supervision of their physician. Those who are being treated with insulin or other medications could experience a significant drop in blood sugar (hypoglycemia) while on this program. That's a good thing, but one that needs monitored by your doctor. It is often necessary to reduce the dosage of diabetic medications during the course of the program.  Most people who are on the diet also have experienced lower blood pressure.

How much weight can I lose? As much as you want. Normally people lose about 4 to 5 pounds a week. Results, of course, vary by individual. The single biggest comment from all the people who have lost weight on this diet is that ‘they don’t feel like they are on a diet.’ It is very easy to follow and you lose weight without significantly changing your lifestyle.
