Weight Loss Program

An essential part of a successful weight loss program is that you eat to lose weight. Advocare Meal Replacement Shake helps you accomplish that goal. We all need to eat 5 to 6 meals a day. Starting with breakfast and every 2 to 3 hours after that. Small meals eaten 2 to 3 hours apart keeps our bodies energized and our metabolism high without us feeling bloated or being stuffed because we overate at any one meal. We should eat breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner and an evening snack.  A meal is the time we nourish our bodies with the necessary vitamins, minerals and nutrients we need to function properly. If we keep that in mind and realize that we eat for purpose. Then blindly putting food into our system that has no nutritional purpose and may even harm us will not be the bad habit we may have today.

Advocare Meal Replacement Shake

Comes in pouches and is a powder that you mix with water to provide a complete nutritional meal if you are on the go and do not have time to prepare a good meal. You get about 5 to 6 grams of fiber, 24 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals with only 220 calories. That is about the same amount of calories in one and a half servings of a creamy salad dressing. The key is that you are naturally energizing your body without adding unnecessary calories. The key ingredients include protein, fiber, iron, calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, zinc, Vitamin A, potassium, riboflavin, vitamin C and B-12.

How I use it

Generally I have a meal replacement shake in the morning. I add strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and or a banana into the blender and mix a package with 8 to 9 ounces of water and I have a very nutritious breakfast. In essence the meal replacement shake is like a multivitamin with fiber and protein that will provide you a complete meal without all the calories. But the meal replacement shake is an essential part of my 4 step Advocare Weight Loss Program. The 4 steps are Advocare Herbal Cleanse, Advocare Spark Energy Drink, Advocare Meal Replacement Shake, and Advocare MNS Metabolic Nutrition System. These 4 products taken properly will help you lose weight as you get the vitamins and minerals you need for optimum health.

You Can Lose Weight!

You did not gain your excess weight overnight and you will not lose weight overnight either. Truly we have a built in set point, similar to a thermostat that tries to keep your weight constant. Regardless of your age you can lose weight.

If you overeat at a party, your weight may go up a little but soon will return back to its normal weight.  But, slowly over the years of eating the wrong foods (junk foods, high glycemic index foods, foods with too much saturated fats like  meat) increases your set point and your weight goes up.

So it will take time (but not as long as for your weight gain) to lower your set point to the desired value. Note – for those in a hurry – if you reduce your caloric intake too low (below 1500 to 1200 depending on your current weight and activity level) your body will shift into the starvation mode and slow down your metabolism and stop your weight loss. In fact the slower your metabolic rate the more you will increase in weight – hence the yo-yo syndrome. Professionally I have seen many people do all the right things as far as eating the right foods and exercising regularly and they do not lose weight. They may even gain weight. This is primarily because they do not eat enough.

The phases of a good weight management program:

* Phase One - Rapid Weight Loss

In a good weight reduction program using both food control and exercise, at first your weight may go down rapidly as you lose water weight and eat more fiber and clean your colon of toxic waste build up in your body. So a natural nutritional vitamin supplement that will cleanse your colon and your entire digestive system is a good start. I recommend Advocare Herbal Cleanse.

* Phase Two – Some Weight Gain

As you increase physical activity your weight may go up slightly as you replace fat with muscle. Don’t be discouraged. Muscle weighs more than fat. Do not to weigh weigh yourself the first few weeks and look in the mirror and notice how  much better you look. Eating properly and exercising regularly you will lose weight in the long run and keep it off. But as you fat is converted to muscle your weight may increase from day to day. This is natural. As you continue your weight management program you will lose weight as muscle burns fat and calories.

* Phase Three – Healthy Weight Loss and Plateau Phase

For many people the last few pounds are very challenging as they try to reduce weight so much that their body fat percentage would go down from very good to extremely good (from 13% to 12% or less). This is a challenge. But you can overcome if you stick to your program and truly pay attention to eating fresh fruit and raw vegetables, whole grains, nuts and beans while limiting your meat, poultry and fish to less than 10% of your daily calories. Avoid sugar and salt, you get them naturally, no need to add them if you are eating the right foods. Drink plenty of water. There is a plateau. Once you reach it continue to eat right and exercise to maintain your healthy weight loss and live your healthy lifestyle.

Be Blessed. Be a Blessing.
