Comments Off on Dave Day 8 on Ketopia

The Ketopia Program Works

Day 8 stats Down another 1.2 lbs. this morning for a total weight loss of 10 lbs in 8 full days on Ketopia. Still no hunger or cravings!

Body Fat is down 6 lbs.

Personal Notes

My 1st 2 days on Ketopia, I was able to see a slight rise in ketones on the KetoStix. It only showed for a few hours and by the afternoon It didn’t show additional excess ketones. BTW, the KetoStix don’t measure if your body is in Ketosis, they measure the excess ketones being excreted thru the urine. Since you are testing the level of ketones leaving your body, the excess ones, you might still be in a state of ketosis with ketones still in your body.

 

blood glucoseThe most accurate way to test to ketones IN the body is with a blood glucose monitor. This will show what is IN not what is excess coming OUT.

Not initially understanding this I was a little concerned that I was not burning fats. The drop in weight and fat proved me wrong.

By Day 5 I tested myself with the KetoStix 5-6 times and saw that I had excess ketones well into the evening hours and by the morning of Day 7 before I had my KetonX drink I was already measuring a high level of ketones.

The message is don’t get discouraged by your levels of excess ketones in the first few days. Every body is different and will find it’s own reset point. Some days I lost more weight, other days more inches, some days, both! For me sometimes its hard not to micro manage, you know, watching everything to closely. Like sailing a boat or flying an airplane, just hold your course……. and stay with the program, it works!

On Days 3 & 4 I showed no weight loss even though I was following the program. I noticed by the end of day 4 I felt bloated, my stomach appeared to me to be distended, you know bulging out. I realized I hadn’t had a normal bowel movement in 2 days. I felt almost toxic. So, I made a few slight shifts:

1. Dropped cheese sticks for snacks. I was having 3 a day. My body tends to gets bound up on too much cheese.

2. Increased Fat intake from avocados and olives

3. Changed any snacks to lettuce wrap with avocados & olives

4. Changed my FIXX shake to mixing with water only and NOT using unsweetened Almond Milk. See I was caught in an old paradigm of I needed more calories and thought the Almond Milk would be a better choice. Now mixing with water only.

5. Bumped up my water intake to 1/2 oz per body weight, not counting the 12 oz I had with KetonX and FIXXWrap

By Day 5 I started dropping weight and fat again and through Day 8 it hasn’t stopped! And I’ve added back pieces of Feta and Blue Cheese to my wraps!

Man, are my clothes hanging different, I don’t feel my belly when I lean over to tie my shoes or pick up a tennis ball.

I’m gonna miss they belly …… NOT ! and if you find it, don’t send it back!

I’m excited to complete my first 10 days and then continue for the next 20 days with 2 more Ketopia Reset packs.

Imagine how much weight and fat you could lose on this 10 Day Reset program. And you don’t have to stop there! I’ve decided to do 3 programs in a row…. 30 days to lose 25-30 lbs!

Dave Day 7 on Ketopia

Comments Off on Dave Day 7 on Ketopia

Lost almost 2 more lbs. on Day 7

Started at 247.5 lbs. and now at 238.8 lbs. Weight loss in 1 week of nearly 9 lbs!!

Body fat loss of 5.4 lbs. of my weight loss was in Fat. Well over half of my weight loss was fat loss! Perfect !

How do you measure Fat Loss?

I had someone ask, “How do you measure your Fat Loss?” Here’s how: There are a few ways to measure you how much fat you are carrying.

1. Find a personal trainer and ask them to use their calipers to calculate your fat.

2. You can purchase a scale that measures your body fat both in percentage of body weight and in lbs. Scale

3. Use this link to determine (a little less accurate, but for your purposes, it works) http://www.freedieting.com/tools/body_fat_calculator.htm This link will show you both percentage of body weight and in lbs. too.

Measure your fat on day 1 then on Day 7 or whatever day you are measuring and subtract the 2nd number from the first.

 

A short Soap Box Rant (cause it’s my blog!)

Most of us, use the weight we see on the scale to determine how successful or how unsuccessful we are in our health as it relates to weight loss. I’d like you to consider that its NOT about weight loss and the scale isn’t or shouldn’t be your top priority!

I’m willing to bet your actual weight isn’t even in the top 3 concerns for you. When we’ve asked hundreds of people who took part in our weight loss programs years back, What were the top 3 results you are looking for in the program?, the number on the bathroom scale was rarely in the top 3 !

First most people wanted to FEEL better !

2nd they wanted to LOOK better

3rd they wanted their clothes to FIT better

Wanted to look sexier and ultimately FEEL Sexier

The number on the scale usually came in the top 5, but rarely did the number on the scale become the main reason they were looking to be healthier.

What if we changed the discussion from Weight Loss to more appropriately, Fat Loss? Fat or % of fat, is a much better indicator of health than just weight! I’ve often said that I don’t care if I weigh 300 lbs., if I’m lean !

Ketopia is about Fat Loss

Here’s what I love about Ketopia. It focuses on FAT LOSS. And don’t be fooled, many “skinny” people have a high % of body fat! There’s a huge difference between being Lean, which is low body fat and being skinny. Check out this great picture. She weighs more, 9 lbs. more in the picture on the right. Which picture looks healthier, sexier? Which one would her clothes look better on? Which do you think she likes better? 176695985349726892_Or4C3oua_b

Granted she may have put on more muscle, but her body fat is lower on the right. My point is ITS NOT ABOUT THE NUMBER ON THE SCALE !

Ok, one last soap box….. someone has to say it….

To all the ladies out there, you know who you are, who always say, “Guys lose weight faster, Its not fair.” Well, we don’t do it on purpose! Yes, we do sometimes smile, inwardly of course, that we’re dropping weight faster, but we’re usually 20 to 100 lbs heavier than you ladies…. Of course our “weight loss” looks higher on the scale! If you’re into comparing, compare % of weight loss from where you started. At our weight loss programs a few years ago, we tracked % of weight loss based upon starting weights and usually a lady won that category! (Did I mention, its not about the number on the scale?)

Lastly, men’s and women’s bodies are different! Have you noticed? And it’s those differences that are so …… shall we say, intriguing ! But that’s a subject for another time, and perhaps beyond the scope of this “PG” rated blog.

 

Imagine how much weight and fat you could lose on this 10 Day Reset program. And you don’t have to stop there! I’ve decided to do 3 programs in a row…. 30 days to lose 25-30 lbs!

Decreasing Carbohydrates for Health and Ketopia

Decreasing Carbohydrates for Health & Energy…how does Ketopia fit in?

Simple carbs, such as cookies, candy and chips may give you a quick FIX or boost of energy but afterwards when you realize how counter productive that was for your weight loss goals you often feel pangs of guilt. We know what is healthy but sometimes our cravings take over…and in those moments we do not have the kind of control that is needed.

This is where KETOPIA can help you!!!!! Ketopia is a 10-Day Reset Program that comes with 3 products to support your weight loss / fat loss goals….and keep you from craving unhealthy foods. These 3 products are the KetonX drink, Dough bites and Fixx. This 10-Day RESET will also help with your cravings and energy levels. To learn more about Ketopia go to www.fgxnow.com (click on ‘location’ and Ketopia)

As I began to prepare for my KETOPIA experience two weeks ago I began to take a look at my current diet. It wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t great either. Although I eat quite healthy, it was very high in carbohydrates, while low in protein and fats…and along with the couple of cocktails or glasses of wine in the evening – it didn’t add up to a program that was conducive for abundant energy or weight loss. My men-o-pot continued to expand!

The Ketopia 10-Day Reset is high in healthy fats, medium in protein and low in carbs. A whole new perspective EQUATION for me! (and, drum roll and side-bar, the KetonX drink puts your body into a healthy and natural state of ketosis within 1-2 hours so you are actually burning your stored fat for fuel rather than carbs and sugars!)

Even though we may know that simple carbohydrates are empty calories and contribute to weight and fat gain- many of us still can’t break our addiction to them.

With carbs so pervasive—and so hard to resist—Eat This, Not That! wondered, What happens to your body if you give them up? Much of their findings are here within this article. Eat This, Not That

Find out how much you have to gain—and lose—by reducing your Carbohydrate consumption!

1) When You Give Up Carbs… You Start Burning Fat immediately! Burn the Fat
 Reducing your intake of calorie-dense carbs automatically reduces the amount of calories you’re consuming on a daily basis, which forces your body to burn fat stored around your midsection for energy, rather than the sugars it takes from carbohydrates.

With KETOPIA, one of the things people notice first is INCH loss. Where you tend to store your body fat, you’ll quickly notice a reduction in those areas. For both men and women, it is often the belly!

2) When You Give Up Carbs…You Feel Less Hungry
It’s not calories that satiate your hunger, it’s nutrients: fiber, protein and healthy fats. Unfortunately, simple, refined carbs are lacking in all three, even as they fill your body with fast, cheap calories. So no matter how much you eat, your body will go in search of more food. The result: a sluggish, hungrier you — one who’s more likely to dive into the snack drawer. Side-bar, with eating the Ketopia Dough bites in the morning you will feel FULL, satisfied and have NO cravings for sweets or carbs. Dough bites are a phantom carb….your body believing they are carbs but the have zero insulin resistance…and they are high in fiber!

3) When You Give Up Carbs.. Your Belly Gets Flatter fat burning
One of the first things you notice when you replace simple carbs with high- fiber foods is that your belly flattens out—literally within days. The reason: Most Americans only take in 15 of the recommended 25 to 38 grams per day, according to the Institute of Medicine. As a result, the healthy gut microbes that keep us lean have less to munch on, and the unhealthy microbes—which feast on sugar—take over. Those are the little buggers that cause bloating, and make your belly look bigger than it actually is. “Bumping up fiber can help promote healthy regularity,” says Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN, registered dietitian and founder of Isabel Smith Nutrition. Side Bar here…..the Dough bites have 16 grams of fiber in each serving! One of the things I noticed within ONE DAY of using Ketopia was not only dropping a couple of pounds, but losing 1 3/4″ around my belly!

4) When You Give Up Carbs… You Slash Your Risk of Diabetes

Simple carbs are made of simple sugars, and eating too many can wreak havoc in your body in both the short and long term. The more of these quickly digested carbs you consume, the more insulin your pancreas produces, eventually leading to insulin resistance and possibly type 2 diabetes, according to Smith. Fiber-rich complex carbs are harder for your body to digest, preventing the blood sugar spikes that cause insulin release. “The lower and more steady we keep blood sugar, the less insulin is released on a consistent basis and the more insulin-sensitive our tissues remain — which is a good thing,” Smith explains. So, cutting back on the simple stuff means you’ll be able to maintain stable blood sugar levels and reduce your risk for diabetes.

5) When You Give Up Carbs… Your Muscles Get Stronger
Almost every food in the world is healthier than simple carbs—from burgers and steaks to yogurt and even ice cream. In part, that’s because simple carbs lack protein, the building blocks of muscle (and a key contributor to healthy hair, nails and skin). By filling your body with protein and other nutrients, you’re giving it what it needs to grow without having to find additional calories. lean-woman-holding-a-dumbbell

6) When You Give Up Carbs… You Feel More Energized
Not all carbs are bad, of course. Your body needs carbohydrates to function properly, and they’re especially important for adequate brain and muscle function. By switching from simple carbs to more long-running fuel—fruits and vegetables, whole-wheat bread, oatmeal, brown rice, quinoa and other whole-grain options—you’ll ensure you have a steady flow of energy, and avoid the ups and downs that simple carbs cause. You’ll no longer need to make poor food choices as a way of getting quick energy, and you won’t be dragging through those afternoon hours.

Side bar: the combo of the Dough bite and FIXX shake, coupled with a sensible dinner high in healthy fats, medium protein and low in carbs WILL increase your energy level. When you are burning stored FAT for fuel rather than carbs and sugars, you have access to 225% more energy for your body and daily functions. Once you complete your 10-Day Reset Program or when you reach your weight loss goals with Ketopia and are returning to your own nutritional program, make sure you are wise with your choices on the kinds of carbohydrates you choose. (see above)

It’s so interesting that I am now just understanding the Ketogenic Type of Nutrition at my ‘ripe age of 58’. Back in 1987, at age 30, I did a body building competition and followed a dietary program that put me into nutritional ketosis- it was crucial to adhere to in order to get lean for competition. It was not easy and it took more discipline than the average person would ever have! That is how I reached the insanely low 8.5% body fat. While that is not what I am striving for here with KETOPIA, what I joy-bodybuilding2 AM striving for is to return to my normal lean body of around 17-18% body fat, one that exudes abundant energy and be a woman who inspires by example.

Comments Off on Dave’s Day 5 on Ketopia

Ketopia, You’ll Know When You’re There

That line makes sense now. By late morning on the 3rd day, I started feeling so energized and alive. Hard to completely put my finger on it, but it is palpable. Now I can say it…….You will know when you’re there!

It’s easy, no craving and I feel satisfied all day!

Day 5 I’ve now lost the grand total of 6 lbs. lost, fat down 3.6 lbs and Body Fat off 1% !! Perhaps more important, I feel so much better and smaller….. Clothes are hanging better, belly is not protruding!

On day 3 and 4, I did notice my digestive system was feeling bound up, felt bloated, almost toxic….. FIXX chocolate shakeEven though I thought I had been consuming enough water, perhaps I hadn’t been. So I upped my water (not just counting the KetonX & FIXX shake as part of it) and consumed 1/2 oz, per lbs of body weight.

Additionally I stopped using unsweetened Almond milk in my FIXX shake and went back to pure water. Additionally even though cheese and cheese sticks are allowed, I dropped cheese too… I think that may have contributed to binding me up. I replaced the cheese snacks with 1/4 avocado, a few black olives wrapped in a large romaine lettuce leaf. Yummy!

Last evening, during our team calls, my digestive system started kicking back in! ( My apologies, if I cut the calls short! lol )

I have been stead fast in my commitment to not having any alcohol. Not easy, especially over the weekend…. I’m not sure how to have a cigar without a good scotch. I guess I still haven’t figured that out. No cigars either!

Our dinners have been fabulous. Even though I’ve not been that hungry, the meals have been delicious and plenty

BUILDING BLOCKS

In today’s world, we encounter countless meal replacement shake options that claim to help us reach our weight management goals. Many of these are loaded with hormones, sugar, second-hand antibiotics, genetically-modified fillers and chemicals—all ways for product manufactures to cut corners and reduce costs.

Unfortunately for us, our bodies are not designed to digest and utilize most of these ingredients! Instead of supporting our goals with nutrition many of these products are actually depleting our bodies, leaving us wanting more, which ultimately can lead to additional unwanted weight gain.

Protein is also an essential building block in the human body. It is found in every cell in the body, and makes it possible for the body to repair and rebuild damaged cells as well as produce new cells. Protein plays a crucial role in the healthy development of muscle, bone, skin, and hair and is essential to the body’s ability to produce enzymes and hormones.

Since your body doesn’t process it the same way it processes carbohydrates and fat, protein is important in managing cravings and maintaining healthy blood sugar levels making it an important component in achieving healthy weight management goals.

A balanced breakfast that is high in protein is the key to managing your cravings all day long so you can start achieving your physical goals. Starting your day with FIXX will help you maintain healthy blood sugar and energy levels while keeping your appetite under control.

 

WHEY FOR WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

FIXX is an ideal start to any day. It is an amazing source of protein and other nutrients, and it tastes great. But how can it help you reach your weight management goals?

According to a study performed at the University of Missouri-Columbia, eating breakfast can help people experience a dramatic decline in cravings for sweet foods throughout the day. The study also showed that higher-protein breakfasts have beneficial effects on the appetitive hormonal and neural signals that control energy intake regulation in overweight individuals.

One of the biggest health problems faced today is that people are insulin resistant, making it difficult for them to lose weight. A recent study performed at Australia’s University of Adelaide found that a high-protein diet reduces the need for calorie intake, and that whey protein is more effective than red meat in reducing body weight gain and increasing insulin sensitivity.

Whey is great for increasing lean muscle and burning fat. It is better absorbed before any form of exercise, and has even been shown to have a positive effect on stress and mood. A recent article from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that whey “improved coping ability, probably through alterations in brain serotonin.”

Additionally, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has also stated that “Under most conditions, protein is more satiating that the ingestion of carbohydrates. This suggests that a modest increase in protein may promote satiety and facilitate weight loss through reduced energy (caloric) consumption.

 

ONE-OF-A-KIND

  • All-natural ingredients
  • Rich in antioxidants
  • Certified hormone and pollutant-free proteins
  • 30 organic fruits and vegetables

Day 2 on Ketopia

Slept soundly, other than a couple of bathroom breaks….. I’ve upped my water in the past to 1/2 oz per body weight and remember it took a couple of days for my body to get used to it and stop having to use the bathroom so often. I expect today to match my number of bathroom trips as I did yesterday. Thinking of mounting my iPad on the wall behind the toilet, so I can get caught up on my reading. I believe I could finish a couple of books this week.

DOWN 5 lbs in the first 48 hours!

Look slimmer….. although I didn’t really seem to notice improvement in my tennis game this morning. I’m thinking because I weigh less, I’m maybe a 1/2 step faster and have to compensate for the change in aerodynamics…….. Oh, never mind….

Enjoyed the KetonX drink even more this morning. Just mixed a packet of KetonX with cold water and sipped it for 45 minutes while I fixed a problem with this website….. I touched something I shouldn’t have yesterday in the css files….. But I digress…

The most surprising thing for me has been the lack of cravings. That is awesome. Not to feel like I’m missing something. I believe staying on this Ketopia 10 Day Reset will be easier than anything I’ve ever done in the past.

indexHeard a comment yesterday about being careful not to drink too much water as you can deplete your sodium and potassium in the body. Here’s what I found… The KetonX drink has 850 mg of Sodium (which is 35% of RDA=Recommended Daily Allowance) and 1120 mg of Potassium (32% of RDA) FIXX has Sodium 190 mg (8% of RDA) and 800 mg of Potassim (22% of RDA) And I add a pinch of salts with dinner….. I don’t see this as an issue. Keep your water intake to 1/2 oz per lb of body weight. I keep refilling a 20 oz water bottle and drink 6 of those daily.

Dough Bites Taste Fabulous Just Sayin’

One of the results I am waiting for is the feeling of energy that others have talked about. It seems to show up between Day 2 and Day 4. I have notice that by just being off grains, my breathing is better and I didn’t feel congested in the early afternoon after my typical lunches.

7 pm – Dinner time, but I’m not hungry… WHAT ?

Crazy. I’m always hungry! Today I had KetonX Drink, 1 Dough Bite, FIXX shake, 2 String Cheese….. We decided we might want to make dinner…. I didn’t see the point. I eat cause I’m hungry, not because of the time of day…..

Chicken

Decided we should!

Grilled 2 chicken breasts drizzling small chunks of Blue Cheese on them (OMG), along with a grilled Zucchini (halved) with oil, garlic, salt and pepper, added a medium salad with Blue Cheese dressing…. Tasted wonderful, only had 1/2 a breast…. felt satisfied….

Could the Ketopia Reset really be a “Reset” ? Its looking that way guys!

 

Day 2 – I ended at 242.5 lbs., Lost 2 additional lbs today for a total of 5 lbs in 48 hours.

Not hungry, no cravings, and feel great! I look and more importantly, feel smaller!

Imagine how much weight and fat you could lose on this 10 Day Reset program. And you don’t have to stop there! I’ve decided to do 3 programs in a row…. 30 days to lose 25-30 lbs!

Menopause HOT FLASH Relief with PowerStrips and FrequenSea?

Menopause HOT FLASH Relief with PowerStrips and FrequenSea? hotflashes

A friend asked me today if I had any advice on PRODUCTS to HELP WITH MENOPAUSE OR HOT FLASHES. Since I have heard this question many times I thought I’d share my experiences here in hopes that it will assist others.
WHAT CAN HELP? or should I ask?

WHAT HELPED ME?
Several things come to mind.

FREQUENSEA…..I have many testimonials from years ago when I was in peri-menopause and women told me that they got tremendous relief consuming just 1 ounce of FrequenSea daily….as this product truly does balance both the PHYSICAL and the EMOTIONAL body! FrequenSea is a flagship product, which became available through ForeverGreen International August 2005. (side bar note: Now people can buy 4 bottles of FrequenSea in the Farmer’s Market for much less cost than what it used to cost due to ForeverGreen and FGXpress merging fall of 2014) Check out www.JoysFavorites.com Click on this link to learn about FrequenSea, with marine phtyoplankton.

Next- without question, are the POWERSTRIPS!

I began wearing a PowerStrip or ½ strip below my belly back in 2013….smack in the middle of my hot flashes and discomfort, which included night sweats! I don’t know when my hot flashes went away but about 2 months into using them on a regular basis and after several women telling me they no longer had hot-flashes I realized I didn’t either!!!! When something uncomfortable goes away we often don’t give it a thought….. Power Strips
When I realized it was the POWERSTRIPS I began sharing with other woman and we all noticed it helped OR eliminated our hot-flash symptoms! I then googled natural remedies for hot-flashes and some of the ingredients they mention are IN the PowerStrips- most likely due to the Marine Phytoplankton. UNIQUE, SAFE and EASY TO USE, check them out if you are experiencing any pain or discomfort.

To learn more about PowerStrips go to www.fgxnow.com

What ARE POWERSTRIPS & How do they work?

Joy’s Journey with KETOPIA:

Joy’s Journey with KETOPIA: the day before!

Today I woke up and decided that TOMORROW I’ll start KETOPIA.
We have had ONE 10-Day Reset box for a week- sitting on our counter top….hesitant to start it as we did not know when our large order of Ketopia would arrive- WE DID NOT WANT TO START AND THEN RUN OUT!

Ketopia visual now

However, today I woke up and decided I will begin KETOPIA TOMORROW….no matter what!!!! Enough waiting….

So this morning has been a bitter-sweet morning of weighing myself- taking measurements and pictures. I literally cried. But since I know there is a solution….I am now excited.

SCALE OMG

I am not a fan of the SCALES so when I stepped on them today it was a shocker!!!! In some ways a motivator- but mainly a shocker. I weigh more than when I was pregnant with my kids, 30+ years ago.

The next thing I did was have Dave measure me. It’s so much easier to have someone measure you- plus you have the consistency of placement of the measuring tape….. knowing me I would have pulled the tape more snug to not be so shocked by the numbers! yikes….no turning back now- I haven’t seen THOSE numbers since the day before we did P90X 4 years ago at age 54.

From there is was assessing my BMI and % of Body Fat…what fun! let’s just say my pre-menopause body fat of average 15% was much higher. No worries though- I have 100% confidence that I will notice a HUGE difference in the next 10 Days!!!!

The above was painless in comparison to the PHOTOS! OMG…. close up- and letting my belly relax- not a beautiful site. I had Dave take front, side, back shots- one set in shorts (which I never wear) and the other in a pair of jeans that I’d love to wear comfortably. LUCKILY the jeans were the stretchy kind as I could zip them up- but it’s not pretty….

I did promise my friends and team (with FGXpress) that I would be brave and post the before and after pictures, 10 days, 20 days and 30 days and I will- but I have to say I was tempted to wear a beach hat and sunglasses today so NO ONE would recognize me. Such vanity!!!!

What excites me the most is that KETOPIA addresses body FAT. By putting the body into a natural and healthy ketosis within hours, the body literally chooses body FAT for fuel rather than relying on carbs and sugars. I know this means FAT LOSS- which to me really is more important than weight loss. Also burning FAT for fuel offers the body 225% MORE ENERGY- results? more ENERGY and MENTAL CLARITY…..

Burn the Fat

I will journal each and every day and share my results. I’ll share the highs and the lows. Everyone is different and will have various results….but my goal is to drop 20 pounds of toxic fat. (yes, our bodies create FAT to store toxins- as a protection to the internal organs….so I guess I should THANK my FAT for helping me these past 4 years.) Thank You FAT…..now GO once and for all!

RIP FAT

 

My tears have dried…..I am facing the next 10 Days with full on excitement. I know MY results will inspire others and that is what I love to do….So stay tuned.

REST IN PEACE FAT…..I’m looking at my KETOPIA JOURNEY as a life style change. It is NOT a diet…it is a program. I know it will shift my “set point” which is why FGXpress calls it a 10-Day Reset Program.

Tonight…yes I’ll have a couple of glasses of wine with my dinner…and then it is BY THE BOOK for “moi”.

Joy’s Count Down to Ketopia Weight Loss

Joy’s Count Down to Ketopia Weight Loss

I know I am not the only one counting down until our KETOPIA product arrives. Our phones and emails are ‘blowing up’ with people full of excitement, since the release of Ketopia, from FGX (FGXpress) . So here I am – making my list of HOW TO PREPARE for a successful KETOPIA EXPERIENCE. Perhaps it will resonate with others or even help YOU prepare…..

My Check List: check list

  1. Prepare with a positive mind-set. I am CHOOSING to do this program knowing 100 % that it will work, I will reach my goals and I will have a fantastic ‘success story’. My results will inspire others! I will RESET MY METABOLISM, shift cravings and increase my ENERGY! I already LOVE my results!
  2. Tomorrow morning I will calibrate the bathroom scales so the day I begin the KETOPIA I will write down my current weight….
  3. I will measure myself – from head to toe. One never knows where the ‘fat’ may come from. When I was a Lose Weightpersonal trainer, as silly as it sounds, we would even measure the neck….as people really DO lose inches in the neck! It is very motivating to see inches MELT off the body when you lose toxins, eat properly and are in a healthy Ketosis.
  4. How much weight do I hope to lose? I’ll take the numbers of pounds I wish to LOSE FOREVER…. and put that number in a jar Pounds Lost MARBLESlabeled POUNDS TO LOSE- with marbles representing pounds. Then I’ll take a second JAR and label it POUNDS LOST. When I lose a pound I’ll transfer that marble to the new jar. =success.
  5. Ahhhhhh, my favorite. TESTER CLOTHES. Surely we ALL have clothes that we love but they are too tight to wear….and are unwilling to get rid of. For many women it is our favorite pair of jeans. I will pull out my jeans – try them on and take a picture. I may not want to take a picture, but I will. I don’t plan to SHARE it until I have a SWEET AFTER PICTURE when I have reached my goal weight and size….
  6. I will find a favorite picture of myself…..I have a couple of pictures that truly do inspire me at a deep level as they EXUDE energy,tight jeans SEXY, CONFIDENCE and HEALTH….and I will post these in a place in our home so I get a sweet reminder daily that this is not only a FUN, DELICIOUS way to reach my goal- but also WORTH IT! (for me, near my computer and in the bathroom mirror!)

Woman on Scale

I’d love to hear other suggestions…..
