Diet food formula for overweight people and diabetics

#The present invention relates to a diet food formula for overweight people and diabetics.

#People with overweight problems and/or diabetes have extremely limited choices of food that both satisfies their desire to eat and satisfies the body's nutrient requirements.

#People with overweight problems are often instructed by their physicians to limit their intake of food while attempting to also maintain a healthy diet by including food with nutrients that the body needs or by taking dietary supplements such as vitamins. However, limiting the intake of food is extremely difficult to do since the body craves for food to fulfill the hunger sensation. Furthermore, the more one tries to limit the intake of food, the more the body craves for them. Therefore attempting to limit food intake to the body often becomes a self-defeating process.

#The preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises of six natural materials: agar, carrageenans, alginate, chlorella, spirulina, and water. Agar is a complex water-soluble polysaccharide and is extracted from red seaweed, such as the Gelidium species and the Gracilaria species. Carrageenans are water-soluble gums and are extracted from certain species of red algae, such as Gigartina, Chondrus, and Eucheuma. Alginate is extracted from brown algae, such as Laminaria and Macricystis, and is also water-soluble. Chlorella and Spirulina have been successfully cultured artificially in many countries. Both Chlorella and Spirulina contain 55% to 65% of protein, which is usable by the human body as a source of protein.

#Agar, carrageenans, and alginate are not toxic to human body and can be ingested by humans and animals without any side effects. Furthermore, human body cannot metabolize these materials after ingestion, therefore, there are no caloric intake due to the ingestion of these materials. Fresh water algae, Chlorella, and Spirulina supplies the necessary protein for the human body. This is particularly important for people who are diabetics, who cannot ingest sugar or starch but who still needs the nutrients for their health.

#The preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises 0.1 to 30 grams of agar, 0.1 to 30 grams of carrageenans, 0.1 to 45 grams of alginate, 0.1 to 45 grams of chlorella, 0.1 to 45 grams of spirulina, and 100 milliliter of water. The mixture is autoclaved for 20 minutes at 1.5 pounds per square inch pressure on liquid cycle, followed by cooling and packaging for sale.
