Get Set to RESET | USANA Video


There are so many different diet programs on the market.  It can all become so confusing.  These decisions are felt by millions of us each year when our diets ultimately fail.  We
give up when we don’t achieve the promised results.  Or, we lose a bit of weight, and because we’re proud of ourselves, and feel that we “deserve” to treat ourselves to foods we like; we gain the weight back, and then some!


Here is a video about our Reset Challenge.




We promise ourselves we’ll start again on Monday, ….because we can never start diets on a weekend.  However, by that next Friday the temptations and hunger are too great, and we succumb, only to start again ...Monday.  And, since we’ve blown it anyway, we might as well forget about the diet, and let the weekend go.  We make New Year’s resolutions to start a diet, but that usually doesn’t last more than a month because everyone knows it’s so hard  to have carrots, celery sticks, and drink water at a  party.  And, once we’ve blown our New Year’s resolution, then we might as well wait until the beginning of summer, for the “get into
the bikini resolution.” However, it just seems easier just to cover it all up and avoid the beach and pool altogether.  And, year after year the weight piles on, and we're not happy with ourselves. 


Have you asked yourself:  “Why can’t I lose weight?  What am I doing wrong?”  The problem is not you (most of the time, anyway); it’s our diet programs! 



USANA has a 5 Day Jump StartProgram which is an intense phase to kick off the program to put us on the path to loose weight.  How many of us have a sugar cravings I know I did.  I have done the program to reset myself and trained myself to cut back on refined sugars.  I feel great. 



The kit has Nutrimeal shakes and bars which are nutritionally balanced meal replacements that provide a healthy ratio of carbs, proteins and beneficial fats to help support optimal
health and an ideal weight.  They deliver sustained energy and control hunger.
Plus you can eat one piece of fruit and have veges.
  In the kit you get supplements to make sure you are getting all the required nutrition you need.



After the 5 Day Jump Start you can continue onto the Reset Phase 1 Transform Stage which you have 2 shakes a day and one bar and the rest of the day you have low GI Foods.

This is not the permanent answer with Shakes and Bars this is the start to achieve sustained weight loss and management.  This does not mean a permanent diet.  This simply means awareness, “resetting your body” to enjoy healthy foods, losing the cravings for high-glycemic carbohydrates, and modest regular exercise.  For optimal nutrition, our bodies need a balanced variety of nutrients, including the right types (low-glycemic) of carbohydrates, proteins, and the good fats, the essential fatty acids.


Better choices of low-glycemic carbohydrates, which releases sugar into your blood stream slowly, reducing carbohydrate cravings, and leaving you feeling satisfied longer.  Since you are not “starving” you are able to make healthier food choices.  Steady blood sugar levels
is the definition of glycemic control, and this is obtained through proper exercise and low-glycemic carbohydrates and a well-balanced diet.   This is NOT just about looking good, it is about lifelong health and longevity, and an improved quality of life for you and your family!


Examples of low-glycemic carbohydrates, carbohydrates that will
satisfy your hunger and help you lose and maintain a healthy weight are: 



Whole Grains

Wheat Bread

Whole Grain Pasta

Barley

Old Fashion - Oatmeal (not instant) Bran and Rye Bread 


Celery
Cantaloupe

Kiwi, Honeydew

Watermelon,

Nuts

Our Meal Replacement Drinks and Nutrition Bars

Chick Peas



Soybeans

Lima Beans

Sprouts

Cabbage

Broccoli

Eggplant

Pickles 
Onion

Tomato

Squash

Zucchini

Apples

Lettuce

Beans

High-glycemic carbohydrates that if over-consumed, along with a sedentary lifestyle is the surest way to weight gain and obesity.  High glyceimic foods include:  


White bread

White Rice

Croissants

Muffins

Biscuits

Hot Chips

Ice Cream

Dried Fruit
Bagels

Buns, Rolls

Potatoes

Chocolate

Cereals, (except bran)

Granola

Instant Oatmeal

Ice Cream
Pasta

Alcohol

Crackers

Cookies

Waffles

Pancakes

Cake

Jam
Sweet Corn

Donuts

Pretzels

Candy

Soft Drinks

Fruit Juices

Milk

Syrup


These are the foods to avoid that have got us to needing weight loss.

With our program, you can achieve real and lasting results.  Of course, exercise and proper nutritional supplementation (not stimulants or laxatives) should be a part of any weight management program to promote overall health.  I recommend the USANA Nutritional Supplements which come with USANA's RESET Program .


The Maintenance Phase is the healthy regimen you will follow long-term.
Not only will you look great, the Nutrimeal™ drinks and nutritional
supplements can help you feel great when used consistently every day*: 


Continue to replace at least one of your meals a day with a delicious meal replacement
Nutrimeal™ drinks and one Nutrition Bar each day and eat healthy, low-glycemic meals and snacks.  Exercise, take your nutritional supplements.  Follow this weight management program everyday for life for optimal health and optimal weight maintenance.


  • Replace one meal with a Nutrimeal™ shake, fortified with our extra fiber (Fibergy™) if desired
  • Eat one Nutrition Bar snack daily between meals if desired
  • Eat two healthy, low-glycemic meals and one healthy snack
  • Continue to develop your fitness level with a consistent exercise program
  • Take your broad-spectrum, potent, pure, quality nutritional supplements that we recommend daily, along with any other nutritional supplements you have chosen for your needs.  (Consult with your physician before beginning any supplement, exercise, or weight loss program.)
During the “Maintenance Phase,” you may begin to re-introduce low- to moderately low-glycemic carbohydrates, such as whole grains, pasta, and potatoes.  No food is prohibited; just remember to eat anything in moderation, keeping an eye on calories and the glycemic index. With these healthy habits forming the foundation of your lifestyle, you
will come to understand what we mean when we say "discover True Health."

How to select the RIGHT home business for YOU - a 12 point checklist




When you choose USANA, you’re choosing the best. We’re confident you’ll agree once you’ve seen us under the microscope.

Do you dream of owning your own business? Working for yourself…working from home…being your own boss…determining your own hours… It sounds great. But the costs and work required to start up a new business can be staggering. Even established business owners find themselves chained to high overhead costs while waiting for clients to come to them.

Fortunately, there is a better option. Many have turned to direct selling to make their business dreams come true. Direct selling is the distribution method employed by USANA Health Sciences, and other network marketing companies, where products are sold person-to-person, away from a fixed retail location.


A USANA business can take your life to the next level. We make it easy:

1. Simple Solutions, Real Results

New to the health and wellness industry? No experience in direct sales? No problem. You don’t need a résumé. If you’re willing to learn and have a passion to help others succeed, USANA will fit in perfectly with your life. Just think—you could start earning cash your first week by simply sharing our products with others and ordering some for yourself. 


2. Outstanding Earning Potential

Sure, money can’t buy you love, but it can buy you financial freedom. So break free from your cubicle and start living life on your terms. USANA’s award-winning compensation plan offers an incredible six ways to earn Income. Plus, you have the chance to earn a commission check each and every week.* Does your nine-to-five job offer that? Didn’t think so.

3. It’s All in the Family


When you become part of USANA, you’re becoming part of a worldwide family. And we take care of our family. You’ll have instant access to helpful tools, tips, trainings, downloads, conference calls, events, and more. Basically, if you need it, we’ve got it. We even have an award-winning customer service team to answer all your questions. And, with our Auto Order program, you’ll never have to deal with product
inventory—we’ll ship everything directly to you or your customers.


4. Your Business. Your Way.

Let’s be honest. You like to do things your way. And with USANA, you can. When you work for yourself, you have the flexibility to work where, when, and how you like. No alarm clock, no rush hour traffic, and no boss. Sound too good to be true? That’s just the USANA way.


5. A World of Possibilities

Tired of saving vacation time, working when you’re sick, heading to the office on holidays, and never seeing more than your cubicle walls? Stop waiting and start living. USANA is your ticket to a life of adventure. With USANA, you can build teams in multiple countries without the worry of different compensation plans or currency conversions. So relax. We’ll take care of everything while you work in exotic locales, discover exciting cultures, and make a world of new friends.


6. A Class Above the Rest


Wondering what sets us apart? There are a lot of things that make us extraordinary, but when it comes to our products, it’s all about the science. Our in-house scientists formulate USANA’s products based on proven science and cutting-edge research. As if that weren’t enough, we also team up with research institutions from across the globe to make sure our products include the very latest in nutritional discoveries. When we create a product, it’s the best of its kind. 


7. Our Growing Industry

USANA is more than just an incredible company—we’re an incredible company in one of the fastest growing industries in the world. Direct sales play a major role in the global economy, and health and wellness products make up a good chunk of the industry’s annual sales. So go ahead and start visualizing the opportunities.

8. Worldwide Credibility


We’re kind of a big deal. People know us. As a member of the Direct Selling, we’re committed to excellence. And the USANA family includes extraordinary people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds, including best-selling authors, Hollywood celebrities, scientific experts, leading health experts, experienced business professionals, and more than 600 world-class athletes. That’s a lot of clout. 

9. Affordable Start-Up Costs

We like to keep things simple. The only required purchase to start a USANA business is our Business Development System, which has everything you need to get started. So who needs to invest thousands of dollars in a business opportunity just to make a penny? You can get a tried and true system to create the life you want for as little as $30. That’s probably less than the cost of your monthly utility bills.


10. Experience You Can Count On

USANA has been around for a while—more than 20 years, to be exact. That’s a huge milestone, but it’s also a sign. A sign we have what it takes to last. A sign our products and business model are built to last. A sign we’re on the cutting edge, leading the industry. And that’s right where we plan on staying.



Six Ways to Create the Wealth You Want

USANA's unmatched Compensation Plan gives you several ways to earn generous commissions every week in direct proportion to your ability to sell USANA's products to your customers and build an organization of Independent Associates who do the same.

1. Retail Sales

Earn profits on the sale of USANA products when you collect the difference between wholesale and the retail price, which you set. Selling retail is one of the quickest ways to develop immediate income for your business while you start to build a long-term base of
satisfied customers. You can sell however works best for you: by using our many sales aids, by sending customers to your personal Web site, or by meeting customers in-person—either one-on-one or in a party setting.

2. 
Weekly Commissions

Earn up to 20 percent in commissions on the weekly Group Sales Volume (whole increments) accumulated in your organization of Associates and Preferred Customers who, like you, generate volume through product sales. Unlike other compensation plans, any extra volume (up to 5,000 points on each side) is carried forward to the following week. Because USANA products are consumable, you will have a regular stream of income
coming in as people re-order. Use the Autoship program to make earning money as easy as possible—USANA does all the work (taking orders, money, shipping, etc.) and you get all the credit.


3. 
Matching Bonus

Put your business on the fast track to success, first, by becoming a Premier Platinum PaceSetter
. Then, help new downline members duplicate your success, and you will be rewarded with a 100 percent Matching Bonuses for half a year (26 weeks) on the sales volume of Associates you enroll who become Premier Platinum PaceSetters. This bonus, unique to USANA, is the best way to quickly boost your income!

4. 
Incentives

Energize your business, build teamwork, and enjoy amazing rewards when you participate in the many fun and challenging contests and leadership incentives USANA offers throughout every year. Past rewards have included luxury travel to exotic destinations, such as Ireland or Hawaii; valuable prizes, including cars; and even thousands of dollars in extra cash! Not to mention the respect and recognition you receive as a top achiever or contest winner at USANA events.

5. 
Leadership Bonus

Become a top leader who helps others succeed and you will be eligible to receive a share in the profits for your excellent sales performance. Every week, USANA reserves three percent of its commissionable volume and divides it among qualifying Gold Directors and above to support building and training new leaders. As you advance beyond Gold, the number of shares you receive each week increases exponentially, helping you accumulate wealth quicker.


6. Elite Bonus

As an additional incentive to strive for the heights of excellence, USANA offers another attractive bonus exclusively to each quarter’s top 30 income earners. Enrich your income with a share of one percent of USANA’s quarterly profits, which we reserved for the fastest growing elite. The more you earn and grow, the better your reward.

I am here to help and there is so much free training, webinars and my team to help.

USANA Supplements for Skin Care



Nutricosmetics
Your skin is the fingerprint of what is going on inside your body. All skin conditions, from psoriasis to acne to aging, are the manifestations of your body's internal needs, including its nutritional needs. The power of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients will give skin a more radiant, healthy, youthful glow. 

Sensé
Our skin is the largest organ so what we put on our skin is absorbed into our bloodstream.  At USANA, we believe that beautiful skin begins with healthy skin. Each ingredient in every Sensé product has been carefully selected for its ability to enhance, revitalize, and revive the appearance of your skin.  By harmoniously combining self-preserving formulas exclusive only to USANA and the most advanced breakthroughs in science, nutrition, and dermatology with patented technology and pure-plant bioactives, Sensé has created a unique line of products that are suitable for all skin types. We invite you to experience this inspired approach to skin care designed to nourish, revitalize, and enhance skin at the cellular level. When your skin cells are optimally cared for, both from the inside and outside, your skin looks healthier, younger, and more radiant.

Active Calcium™ supplement is a comprehensive bone health formula that provides balanced levels of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D in bioavailable forms. Calcium - skin benefits include cell renewal, lipid barrier function, and antioxidant protection from DNA damage.  Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body and in regards to skin, a deficiency can manifest itself in dryness, itching, premature wrinkling, and an increased tendency to develop skin cancers. Also, when there is a calcium deficiency, your body will "steal" calcium from your bones and teeth because it needs calcium for so many processes. People with high skin calcium content experience less premature skin aging and less incidence of skin cancer.

AO Booster supplement provides an extra dimension of antioxidant protection. This sciencebased formula contains resveratrol, alpha lipoic acid, and grape seed extract – potent antioxidants that work together synergistically. This updated formula provides the equivalent amount of resveratrol found in five bottles of red wine. Antioxidants have anti-inflammatory, antiallergy, and anti-acne capabilities. Alpha lipoic acid repairs aged skin, contributing to a healthy looking, glowing complexion. It is a hundred times more potent than either Vitamin C or E. It may turn out to be the super boost for aging skin.

BiOmega-3™ ultra-pure fish oil supplement provides advanced levels of EPA and DHA (two omega-3 fatty acids) to support cardiovascular and joint health. Omega-6 and omega-3 are categorized as "essential" because they cannot be synthesized in the body and therefore must be derived from the diet and Nutritional Supplements. Arthritis, other inflammatory conditions, and immune system weaknesses are some of the most serious health problems associated with a lack of omega-3 fats. Antioxidants block oxidation of skin oil and reduces acne. Omega-3 fatty acids are oils that are not easily oxidized, and therefore may reduce acne formation. Without these essential fatty acids, dryness, skin irritation, whiteheads and blackheads will become regular features on the skin. Providing the body and skin generously with essential fatty acids can sooth inflamed skin and help prevent premature skin aging. Fatty Acids are
essential for Dry Sensitive skin. Without an adequate supply of EFAs, the skin produces a more irritating form of sebum, or oil, which can result in problems. EFAs can keep your skin smoother and younger looking.

Body Rox™ daily vitamin, mineral and antioxidant supplement is designed specifically for teenagers. Body Rox provides essential micronutrients to support growth and compensate for teens’ erratic eating habits. This exclusive formula also contains USANA's patented Olivol® olive-fruit extract. Body health and skin health should be started in the early years for strong future benefits.

CoQuinone® 100 CoQ10 supplement provides more than three times the strength of regular CoQuinone in one convenient dose. This powerful combination of Coenzyme Q10 and alphalipoic acid supports sound cardiovascular function and healthy cellular energy production. Coenzyme Q10 also blocks oxidation of the oils in the skin and helps with the health of the skin. This means less chance of acne. CoQ10 can aid your complexion in various ways. It fights free radicals and improves the look of wrinkles. CoQ10 should be taken especially if you’re over age 50.

Ginkgo-PS™ herbal supplement provides the combined power of Ginkgo biloba and phosphatidylserine, two ingredients shown to assist with healthy mental and cognitive function. Gingko biloba helps to increase circulation, prevent capillary fragility, improves tissue irrigation and helps to boost collagen formation and create fibroblast.

Mega Antioxidant supplement provides a comprehensive spectrum of vitamins and antioxidants to support long-term health and well-being. This exclusive formula also contains USANA's patented Olivol®, making it among the most powerful and complete vitamin and antioxidant formulas available on the market. Contains 15 antioxidant ingredients to give comprehensive full-body (including your skin) protection from oxidative stress.

Poly C® is an advanced vitamin C supplement. Its unique blend of four mineral ascorbates is specifically designed to prolong vitamin C activity, reduce the potential for stomach irritation, and support healthy mmune function. A diverse mix of tissues, proteins, cells and organs work together to support total body defence. Vitamin C has shown to increase collagen production, including dermal collagen, which is significant for wrinkle reduction, strengthen skin's barrier response, enhance skin's repair process and reduce inflammation. Lack of sufficient Vitamin C can also affect your nails strength and appearance.

Procosa® joint health supplement provides glucosamine in an amount clinically proven to help maintain healthy cartilage and joints. This science-based formula also includes vitamin C, manganese, silicon, and turmeric extract for comprehensive joint support. Procosa is formulated with Meriva, an innovative curcumin phytosome that has been clinically shown to deliver noticeable improvements in joint comfort and mobility in as little as 90 days and to help support a healthy inflammatory response. A study presented by the American Academy of Dermatology in 2006 showed that glucosamine could prove to be an effective treatment to reverse the effects of skin cells damaged by UV exposure.

Proflavanol® a bioflavonoid supplement provides top quality grape-seed extract at a level six times stronger than regular Proflavanol®. This science-based formula includes Poly C® and is designed to support sound cardiovascular and immune function and healthy skin. Using innovative Nutritional Hybrid Technology to combine two of USANA’s most popular Nutritionals, Proflavanol® and Poly C®. Vitamin C carries dual importance as the body’s premier water-soluble antioxidant and as a coenzyme essential for the synthesis and health of connective tissues and throughout the body. Potent antioxidant that has wound-healing properties, reduces free-radical damage and is one of the super-stars for fighting wrinkles.

Visionex® DS advanced eye health supplement is designed to protect the delicate tissues of the eye from photo-oxidation. It supports long-term eye health by providing significant dosages of zinc and vitamin C, as well as double the amount of lutein and zeaxanthin found in regular Visionex®. Similar to our eyes, lutein is deposited throughout our skin through the lutein we consume. A recent human clinical study showed 10 mg of lutein daily increased skin hydration, elasticity and skin lipid content. This is the first research to show improvement in skin health through lutein supplementation alone.

PhytElle supplement delivers a unique blend of phytoestrogens from five botanical sources. It has been designed to help provide relief from common menopausal symptoms, as well as support sound cardiovascular health and healthy bone mass. It is well known that estrogen stimulates the fibroblast to make collagen and hyaluronic acid. Therefore, estrogen is important for preventing skin aging and is significantly useful in the cosmetic field.

Palmetto Plus™ men’s supplement formula is designed for men concerned with maintaining sound prostate function. It contains a unique blend of saw palmetto, lycopene, and soy isoflavones from standardized, all-natural botanical extracts. The skin of those with problematic acne has increased levels of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. Saw palmetto blocks the action of 5-alpha-reductase, reducing the amount of DHT in the skin, and thereby reducing the stimulation of excessive sebum. Oral and topical antibiotics can reduce the bacteria, which oxidizes skin oil. Antioxidants block the oxidation of skin oil and can reduce acne.

You should get your basics in a multivitamin from The Essentials. If you want to reap the benefits of all these nutrients drink plenty of water, and use the gentle Sensé products to further improve your skin. Always wear a sunscreen, and eat a balanced diet. Bottom line, all vitamins and minerals are needed for healthy skin, but some are especially important.
