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
