Genetic Key Fat Loss

Best thing...a Smoothie Challenge with Mannatech. It goes for 3 months! I am full of ideas, but have only posted a few so far. There is so much nutrition you can put in a glass or bowl, and make it filling but not raising blood sugar.
The real point is, this can be fun. I will try to post a few photos and ideas, and you should see them for awhile.

After many off and on years, it is time to put value on this page. Fat loss is always going to be a healthy move, but always the focus has to be being healthy and feeling good.
I invite you to ask questions, comment and tell your own story.
So, watch this space!!

Here is a resource for you - http://www.glycemicindex.com/

Swap out high glycemic foods for those with a lower index. Learning to discriminate will enable better blood sugar control and less conversion of carbohydrates to fat.
This is just one strategy, but it will automatically steer you toward more nutritious foods.

The Glycemic Index (GI) is a relative ranking of carbohydrate in foods according to how they affect blood glucose levels.

With constant stand-offs between popular diet trends, you may find yourself oscillating between... "should I adopt a ketogenic lifestyle, or maybe a plant based diet is for me? What about the health benefits of fasting?
There is one certainty, the safest and highly effective approach is to steer toward a Low Glycemic habit. This way you are not forever making an insulin demand on your body and storing fat. Whichever path you choose, don't get the wrong carbs on your plate and ensure there is enough fibre in your diet.

Just trying to visualize what I want to say. Our son is serving with the Army and we send him boxes frequently to keep his health up in an area where fresh food is not available or of good quality. As much as we would love him to have access to our garden, or create his own as this Kindy did, quality supplements do float his boat. We have sent assorted Mannatech products, fibre for the gut, and prebiotics as well as low sugar protein bars and what young men regard as nutrition.
We found out that the other men there refer to his boxes that we send as "M**h labs for health"!!
What a compliment!

What do you think of INTERMITTENT FASTING for fat loss?
Here are excerpts of a professional's comment:
IF is not bad..
The first thing your body breaks down to fuel it is carbs you ingest. After that is depleted, it looks for glucose in your body...that is known as glycogen. That is abundantly stored in fat tissue. So, the more of that tissue we carry, the more we burn it. Only when a body is low in fat tissue, will your body start to burn through protein...or muscle. So, for certain body types, one could say that fasting might generate results.

Now, the flipside of this is that without proper protein intake, your body cannot build muscle. As your workout, you create micro tears in the muscles. These tears healing are what creates muscles. So, when you see people get muscular, it is because they are damaging their body and the result of that healing is the size you see when you look at them. So, I do not think it is bad, but I would say that you should be cautious. I would not recommend an outright fast. I would suggest the following.....calculate your bmr and your caloric needs for the day. Calculate your macros as well. Plan your evening meal to include your caloric and macro needs. Remember, losing weight means that you take that number you calculate and reduce it, by say, 300 calories per day so you can start to see results. If you factor in exercise, the deficit will be greater, but do not push past reducing it any more than 500 calories per day. Throughout the day, rather than fasting, give yourself some small sources of protein. Maybe some turkey chunks. Some high protein legumes. Something that is protein laden and sugar light....as your body burns sugar and if you give it sugar, it will not burn it from fat stores. So, while I am not opposed to IF, I suggest you experiment with it carefully to see if your body responds to it.
Remember, multiple conditions will impact your ability to do this, such as diabetes, medications taken, medical conditions, etc. Make sure you are not hurting your body as you do it.

So, all that to say, Intermittant fasting could work if you do it right, monitor your evening meals, and add a good and steady workout program to your life.

This family has taken such a big step with such a big result!

One of the most heart warming stories that has come out of the launch of TruHealth in Australasia has been from Father and Daughter, Cerisa Riley and Michael Bennett. Living in regional NSW, Cerisa was introduced to the products by National Director, Melissa Humphris and decided to give the program…

There is nothing like mutual support to fuel removing fat from your body and gaining health and confidence! I am considering forming a "Losers" (pun) group to make a difference to anyone in Adelaide Northeast. Leave a message with contact details and I will get back to you!

Add OsoLean and either/or NutriVerus plus 1/2 scoop of TruPlenish shake, you will have a nutritious and filling meal.

I have already said that getting started with removing fat from your body starts in your head. Mentally settle for change.

It is becoming more apparent that eating and moving to feel well are SO important. Try not to fixate on appearance so much as what losing the fat will do to prevent Diabetes, Heart Disease, and even Alzheimers (now referred to as DiabetesIII). Remember, it is not so much about the scale weight, but how your clothes fit ... getting looser.

Just one change for now is to avoid all wheat products and replace them with more vegetables, using herbs and spices for awesome flavours. Gluten and some modern wheat proteins can cause bloating, but may also interfere with how happy your liver is, and insulin levels. Too much insulin = stored fat!

I know much more painless ways to do this!!

Please understand the difference between Body Mass Index (BMI) and Body Composition Index (BCI). A muscular man with little fat can be classed as obese under BMI calculations taken from height and weight. Body composition looks at %fat, %muscle, bone, etc.
To get an accurate reading a DEXA scan is top level and will set you back about $300 in Adelaide for 3 sessions.The cool thing about the scan is it gives imaging of locations of fat and muscle and reports % in different parts of the body.
Even if you have a good weigh scale with body composition function, it is better to focus on the body composition functions than the weight, which can be deceptive.

Here's this week's challenge ... do a pantry cleanse! We are focusing on a full body cleanse in preparation for parting with stores of fat. Your liver will thank you for this, but it would be an advantage to also part with unhealthy "foods" in the pantry. Be radical and get rid of it. Then be selective about what you replace it with.
A key is eliminating sugar, and invest in a few less damaging sweets for treats only. I am talking about a little maple syrup, xylitose, honey, dates. Definitely steer clear of any artificial sweeteners.
There are more things to eliminate for another day. I won't cut things out without some reasonable alternatives to suggest.
