Owner and RoastMaster at CocoaJoe Promotes Burning Fat with Theobromine, CocoaJoe
by BWW News Desk - Apr 22, 2013

Theobromine is a natural stimulant found in cocoa beans that offers a raised level of focus and energy. Unlike its jittery cousin - caffeine, Theobromine has a slower, mellower onset and doesn't upset the stomach. Studies have found that it also increases the body's metabolism, thus leading to higher amounts of fat being burned... naturally! Dr. Oz recently featured brewed cocoa as one of the top four ways to burn fat faster, saying, "This is a really cool idea. I think this is something really worth trying. Here's what I love about it. It's why it can help you burn fat faster. It has a natural stimulant, not caffeine, called Theobromine that can boost your metabolism. It's very safe. It also has a fat blocker. It helps get rid of the fat in your body by blocking an enzyme you need to digest fat, so you never absorb the fat into your body." See the Dr. Oz website here. (more...)
