The Contrave weight loss Drug Reviewed by the FDA panel has recently been given support, and now is waiting to receive full approval which is said to come sometime in early 2011.

It was developed and marketed by Orexigen Therapeutic Inc., and is supposedly different from most other weight loss products on the market because it aims to create a change in the way your brain thinks vs. working directly on your metabolism levels.

Contrave has been able to see some success, while only reporting mild to moderate side effects. If this drug is approved and is seen to find continued success, it may change the way we look at weight loss drugs and how they are developed.
But of course, safety comes first… Let’s get a few important questions answered here:

What’s Contrave made of?

Contrave is made of a combination of the anti-depressant, Wellbutrin and the addiction drug Naltrexone. These 2 drugs work together to stimulate your brain to help you reduce your food intake and stimulate how your body burns energy. By reducing your food intake and burning more fat, your body will naturally cause weight loss.

Attn! However don’t be too fooled, a complete diet is a MUST in order to give you the needed nutrients and minerals to keep your body healthy and of course regular exercise will work to tone your body.

Does it Really Work?

4 test studies, performed by Orexigen Therapeutic, Inc., showed that more than one half of the people taking Contrave were able to see a success rate of weight loss equal to at least 5% of their total body weight.

What are the Negatives?

The Contrave Weight Loss Drug reviewed recently suggested a negative down side – that it is a “chronic drug” – meaning that you will only be able to see success as long as you are taking the drug. At least at this point, patients who go off the medicine are backsliding and gaining back at least some of their lost weight.

So does Contrave really Work?

Good question. This drug is designed to help all of those who are serious about losing weight. A complete nutrition plan along with a regular exercise plan are both an equally important part of this plan. So only people willing to combine all 3 parts of the plan, will see weight loss success. Contrave will only be available by prescription, so it will require your doctor’s approval before you can take this drug. It will also require check-ups with your doctor in order to evaluate you on a semi-regular basis.

In all reality, losing weight needs to be thought of as a lifestyle change. You cannot keep off the pounds without knowing how to maintain a long-term plan that includes dieting, exercise and emotional support. These are KEY ingredients to any weight loss regime, even if it’s 5 lbs or 250 lbs you want to lose. A diet drug will never be the miracle cure… and as far as Contrave goes, I suppose only time will tell.

Succeeding in MLM may seem like a difficult thing to do. It’s actually quite simple when you know how to attract people into your business, who are ready to work hard and help you grow your downline. So, what I’m going to do is share with you some tips on how to succeed in MLM.

That way, you will be able to easily attract people into your downline.

The MLM success tips are:

1. The first step to succeeding in MLM is to understand who you are targeting. What I mean is, who is your target market. Do you want more product consumers or do you want more business builders? Decide which one you want. You can definitely have both.

I would recommend focusing on product consumers. They will turn into business builders. Also, the more products you sell, the more money you make. So, if you focus all your efforts on just business builders, you won’t make as much money, because they won’t be consuming the products. They will be more focused on making money.

2. After figuring out which type of person you want most in your business, you need an effective marketing plan. Handing out samples, talking to friends and family, and all that other stuff your company teaches you won’t work for you here. You need an effective plan in place.

If you want to grow your MLM business using the internet, you can use press releases, blogs, and videos. This is how you can build relationships with people. Also, when using those tools, you should include your phone number and email address. That way, people will be able to call or email you about your business opportunity or products.

3. The third way to succeed in MLM is to have an effective system in place for the people you sponsor. If you are focusing on product consumers, you need to have a plan for them to follow. You can have a 14- day weight loss plan if you promote weight loss products.

Or, if you promote a health drink, you can have a 7- day health plan. Or if you’re in travel, you can have a top 20 checklist for all travelers. You need to be creative with this one.

Also, if you are marketing your MLM business opportunity to business builders, you should have a system set up for them to follow. Let them know how to contact people, how to attract people who are already interested in growing a business, and how to promote their business on the internet.

This will have you attracting dozens of people in your business. That’s how the top income earners make all their money. They have a system that works for them and so they tell others how to do it.

These are some tips on how to succeed in MLM. If you are serious about growing your business, you need to do something about it now. Don’t wait for your upline to tell you what to do. Be a leader and start making some decisions now. It will affect your future and the outcome of your business.
