CHESTERFIELD, Mo., Feb 05, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Millions of Americans struggle to lose weight year after year but even if they find success, it often is temporary because they eventually regain the weight. This year can be different.

Reliv International is introducing Slimplicity(TM), a unique weight-loss system that offers a simple, healthy plan to safely lose weight and keep it off.

Two products provide the foundation of the Slimplicity Weight Loss System. The first is a meal replacement shake providing essential nutrition and whole soybean powder. The second is the Slimplicity Accelerator capsule containing ingredients that burn fat, block fat absorption, boost metabolism or suppress appetite.

"Slimplicity is a powerful partner in weight management," says Vice President Dr. Carl W. Hastings, who heads Reliv's research and development. "Slimplicity delivers the most advanced, clinically supported weight-loss ingredients 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."

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

1. Mix Slimplicity's powdered formula with water or skim milk and replace
lunch with this shake packed with essential nutrition and waist-
trimming ingredients.

2. Use Slimplicity Accelerator capsules to curb your appetite, boost
metabolism and speed up weight loss.

3. Adopt a smarter lifestyle by increasing activity and eating fresh,
nutritional meals and snacks.

Reliv offers a starter kit that makes it easy to get started on the Slimplicity Weight Loss System. Each starter kit includes 1) a full-month's supply of the meal replacement product and Accelerator capsules; 2) a "Success Plan" booklet that details an easy-to-follow plan to help step up daily activity as well as healthy, flavorful meal plans and food choices; 3) a shaker cup for the meal replacement shake; 4) a pedometer to track daily steps; and 5) a "No Cheat Sheet" daily journal to keep track of progress.

"As you use Slimplicity and lose weight, you'll have more energy, which in turn leads you to be more active," says Hastings. "And that exercise helps you build muscle, burn more calories and continue to lose weight or maintain your ideal weight. The bottom line is that you're going to enjoy a much healthier lifestyle."

The Slimplicity Weight Loss System is available from any Reliv distributor. To find a distributor near you, dial 1-866-735-8634.
