7 Secrets for Fat Loss
You’ve probably heard the obvious reasons for being
over-fat; “You eat too much, of the wrong things.” Or,
“You don’t exercise enough.”
Although these statements are true, they are not
specific enough. For example, we have worked with
thousands of people who have come to us out of
frustration. They believed they were doing things the
right way. After hearing so many stories, we discovered
seven important factors that dramatically affect fat
loss. Violating even one of these factors can impair
success! Here’s the interesting part . . . virtually
all of these frustrated dieters were not aware of at
least three of these “secrets.” And when they
learned them, and incorporated them into their lifestyle
— they succeeded!
SECRET # 1: Don’t Lose
‘Weight’!
How many times have you seen this; “Lose 30 pounds in 30
days.” You might lose 30 pounds. However, much of it
is water and lean tissue!
If you lose just 10 pounds of muscle this month -
you can gain 6 pounds of fat next month!
That’s because muscle is very active tissue. Muscle is
literally a “fat-burning furnace.” Each pound of muscle
can burn more than 1/2 pound of fat per month! Lose the
fat - keep the muscle!
SECRET # 2: Stimulants
Don’t Work!
Diet pills, appetite suppressants, herbal energizers and
other stimulants simply mask a very natural bodily
function - hunger. The result is typically negative -
you eat too little of the same foods you’ve been
eating. The end result is a slower metabolism, less
muscle and poor energy levels.
SECRET # 3: High
Carbohydrate Diets Can Make You Fatter!
Certain “healthy” carbohydrates can stimulate fat
storage! Yes, foods like rice, cereals, potatoes
and bread can cause fat storage. However, you can
overcome this problem if you combine these carbohydrates
with certain other foods. Use the
Glycemic
Index to help
select the best foods for regulating blood sugar and
insulin release.
SECRET # 4: Meal Timing
‘Can Make or Break’ Your Success!
Eating several high quality meals stimulates your
metabolism. Meals which contain higher levels of
protein and good fats tend to stimulate your metabolism
and will curb your appetite for longer periods of time.
A
NatraLEAN™ Health
Bar makes an
excellent meal choice when you are on the go. Eating
fresh, whole fruit in-between meals can help keep your
energy levels up and will provide you with many good
nutrients as well. Make sure to start your day
strong…eat breakfast!
SECRET # 5: Your Body
is a Chemistry Set!
The quality and amount of nutrients you eat can
dramatically affect fat loss - or gain! Nutrients that
keep blood sugar levels balanced are extremely
important. Again, use the
Glycemic
Index to help you
make the best choices.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- If you are
exeperiencing high levels of stress – make sure to
support your adrenal glands.
Adrenal-Fuel™
is an excellent product to help you overcome the
effects of stress.
- Digestive problems
can really sabotage your fat loss. Bad digestion
compromises the assimilation of important
nutrients. In addition, the inflammation created by
digestive problems can dramatically affect fat
loss. If you are experiencing gas, bloating &
indigestion, you should try a good digestive enzyme
product like
Digest-Plus™.
SECRET # 6: Drink Yourself Thin!
Drink at least 8 glasses of water (not soda, tea,
coffee, and juice) each day. This will help your liver
work better and burn fat much more efficiently. Helpful
hint: Put water in a 32ounce cup or bottle. Drink one
container in the morning and another in the afternoon.
SECRET # 7: Move It to
Lose It!
Make some enjoyable “activities” a part of your life!
Some simple things like a walk with someone you enjoy or
several mini-walks each day. How about parking the car
farther from the door at the office or store - you’ll
probably save some “door dings” too! Some consistent
activity will go a long way in helping you to look and
feel better. Remember, you don’t have to exercise at
high intensity levels to experience positive results.
