Research Confirms 21-Day Cleanse Program Promotes Healthy Weight Loss While Reducing Cholesterol And Blood Pressure Levels

LOS ANGELES, April 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Beachbody®, the health-and-fitness pioneer behind popular home-exercise programs and effective nutritional solutions, today announced that a research study by the prestigious New York Chiropractic College has validated the efficacy of its Ultimate Reset® 21-Day cleanse program.

The results, gathered from this peer reviewed and published third-party study conducted to measure the effectiveness of a commercial detox program, successfully proves Ultimate Reset's® effectiveness at meaningful reductions in weight, blood pressure levels, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, and an overall improvement in health among participants. The findings have been published in the March issue of the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine.

Focused on a sample of 50 men and women between the ages of 20- and 60-years-old, researchers at New York Chiropractic College, led by key investigator Dr. Mary Balliett, utilized Ultimate Reset® to test the effects of this 21-day nutrition and detox program on body composition, blood pressure, lipid profiles and testosterone levels.  Researchers conducted extensive pre- and post-medical testing along with detailed patient interviews, documenting the comprehensive health improvements experienced by participants during the 21-day cleanse. Findings supported the programs' ability to assist in weight loss and improve cholesterol levels, regardless of age or gender, and to increase testosterone in male study participants.

"The outcome of the clinical study further validates the effectiveness of Ultimate Reset® and adds another tool to our ongoing efforts to help our customers lose weight and get healthy quickly and naturally," said Carl Daikeler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Beachbody, LLC.  "Crash diets and fasting undermines the goal of healthy weight loss. But with Ultimate Reset®, we have seen people reduce their cholesterol levels and experience dramatically improved sleep patterns, eating habits, regularity and energy levels, even following the 21-day program. This study helps scientifically validate what we have seen in anecdotal proof from literally thousands of customers since we launched this detox."    

The demand for cleansing regimens designed to aid in weight loss and body detoxification has increased in recent years.  Upheld by a peer reviewed, published clinical study and thousands of positive testimonials from users, Ultimate Reset® has achieved scientific validation, offering statistically significant and measurable health improvements, which may help decrease the risk of metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, strokes and Type 2 Diabetes.  Anyone using Ultimate Reset® – or any Beachbody program – also has access to ongoing peer support through Beachbody's Network of more than 100,000 Coaches nationwide.

As a comprehensive, no-starvation cleansing and rejuvenation system, Ultimate Reset® teaches the user how to eat clean, highly nutritious food, while allowing the body to rehydrate and flush itself of the toxins absorbed through every day exposure to pollutants, pesticides, and other inorganic compounds. The program is available for $229.95 and focuses on eliminating toxins and waste gently and naturally to promote weight loss, resulting in an improved Body Mass Index.  

As the first third-party study to utilize a commercially available cleanse, published findings in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine uphold Ultimate Reset's® claims to achieve meaningful improvements in health through weight loss and lowered levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.

The clinical trial can be found in the March issue of the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine, or online at www.UltimateReset.com.  For more information on Ultimate Reset®, Beachbody, LLC and its line-up of health-and-fitness solutions visit www.beachbody.com.
