Joy’s Journey- Ketopia Day 11

3.75 inches lost around the waist in only 10 Days!

I am SO GLAD that we purchased enough Ketopia so that after Day 10 we didn’t run out!!! I am loving this 10-Day Reset! If you are currently using Ketopia…place your next order so you can continue beyond Day 10.

There are SO MANY things I love about the results I received from only 10 Days using the Ketopia. I love that it is termed “A 10-Day Reset” as that is exactly what it is!!! Among my benefits….an INCREASE in ENERGY, more MENTAL CLARITY, INCH LOSS, WEIGHT LOSS, ZERO HUNGER or CRAVINGS! I also finally feel like I am BACK IN CONTROL of my life and my health!

I am visiting my mother this weekend and find it to be so easy to stay on the Ketopia with zero effort. Last night I decided to enjoy a cocktail with mom and actually looked for the BEST option available with the least carbs and sugar and ended up enjoying a Vodka Gimlet on the rocks! Delicious and delivered a POW! Wow, did I ever feel the buzz!!!! As a snack before bed I also enjoyed a handful of chocolate covered almonds too! Off the program BUT back on track today. Hey- you have to live- right?

I have had conversations with many people about my results at 10-Days…. and many people on Facebook are also comparing their weight loss results. It is exciting- however I want to stress that the scale is only one of several ways of assessing your progress! I dropped 5 pounds in 10 Days, my husband Dave (Now on Day 9) will probably drop 12 or more pounds in 10 Days! We are all different and will have a variety of ways of achieving success with Ketopia. Chart your successes and share with others….including Pictures….as FACTS TELL, but STORIES and PICTURES SELL!

Here is what I lost….Oh My, look at this visual and see what 5 pounds of FAT actually looks like! Top shelf!!! OH my…… and the majority of where I dropped my FAT was from the lower belly to the chest. Perfect!

My next goal is 10 pounds of FAT loss and my final goal is 20!!!!! My initial goal was to drop 20 pounds of FAT in 30 Days but because the Ketopia is becoming a way of life, if it takes me 45-60 Days I’ll still be thrilled. Let’s be realistic, I gained those 20 pounds year the past 4 years!!! Also it is not so much the POUNDS that I want to shift, but changing my body composition so I FEEL BETTER, LOOK BETTER and have better energy and health!

Let me put on my Personal Training Hat for a moment!!!!

The number on the scale has little relevance to your overall state of health or body composition.

I have seen people weigh of normal “scale weight” be over-fat and have a body composition of 35% or more. When I got into body building years ago I actually GAINED weight, but it was muscle weight and thanks to a couple decades of weight training, up til recently, my body composition was very healthy. Why? Because I had more muscle on my body which helped burn more calories.

As you can see from the pictures below we all come in different sizes and shapes! Where do you want to end up? What are your goals? Create a vision board or have pictures in strategic places to remind you of why you are doing Ketopia. Do you realize YOUR results will inspire others and perhaps even make you very wealthy?????

Joy’s Journey with Ketopia- Day 10

Drum Roll…. Today is Day 10 and here are my results!

Ketopia….ONLY Ketopia. No other changes!!!!!!!!!

My Before Picture on Day 1. I cried. My belly protruded and I looked pregnant. I couldn’t believe it as only 4 years ago I had a lean waist line. Obviously I needed intervention and Ketopia came at the perfect time! Also the foreign “back fat” blew my mind! Yuck! I wish I had put on dark sunglasses and a straw hat to hide that this is me!!! RESULTS: I LOST 3.75″ AROUND MY WAIST and 1.5″ in my chest (less significant but good results in other areas too)...in only 10 Days! Day 10 I am not at my goal by any means but happy my waist is shrinking!!!! 🙂

Day 3.…. Wow, things were beginning to shift in only a couple of days. I felt great- had NO detox symptoms, no cravings and was never hungry. As you can see, the place (belly) where I was predominately storing body fat is where my body began drawing from the reserves. I lost 1.75″ around my waist by day ONE!!!!! Things were looking promising. So glad Dave and I committed to doing 30 days! I am going to reach my goal ONCE AND FOR ALL and with all the amazing supportive products from FGXpress, I’ll be able to with ease. Doing the RESET is the important thing. Like rebooting your computer, I know now my body is already burning more efficiently!!!!

Day 10…. Today is Day 10. As you can see, I am concentrating my before and after pics on the BELLY as that is my area of the most stored fat…..but- the good news is little by little it is melting! Clothes are feeling better- loose in comparison- I have such hope for the next 10 and 20 days. THIS IS EASY!!!!!

Why didn’t we hear about Ketopia long ago? Simple- it wasn’t available….but now there is a solution to an over weight (over FAT) epidemic that is happening around us AND it is available. I am thrilled to have completed my 10-Day Reset and to have these results to share. Many of you will have similar results and many will far exceed my results. We are on our own Ketopia journey! Given my age, post menopause and not being able to BUDGE the scale in the past 4 years, I am happy to say the scale and my body fat has gone down! If I can do it, YOU can rock it as well!!!!!!

MY ENERGY & MENTAL CLARITY went from 4 to 8 (out of 10) THIS is important as this is about HEALTH and not just weight or fat loss! My FAT dropped 5 lbs. Good inch loss and feeling wonderful!

Stay tuned…… share your results and if you have not yet tried Ketopia, OH MY- do it now. www.fgxnow.com Ketopia is in demand- be patient and believe me, it is worth the wait!

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.

The 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 FIXX

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!

Joy’s Journey with Ketopia- Day 9

Joy’s Journey with Ketopia- Day 9

Today is Day 9 & I am so happy my Ketopia doesn’t end tomorrow! So glad we bought enough Ketopia to do 3 10-Day Reset programs “back to back”……

Today I learned that eating OUT is easy when I am on Ketopia!

Today was a different day, being on Ketopia, as I was out of the house most of the day… and had a luncheon ‘date’ that I could not change. No worries Ketopia is SIMPLE –PORTABLE and EASY!

What IS my morning ritual on Ketopia?

My morning ritual is to drink the KetonX first thing in the morning after a glass of water. TIP: Make sure you SIP it for at least 30-45 minutes. Don’t ask me why- I heard someone tell me that is what they did that worked for them – so I copied them. Although I am normally a gulper- OK, ‘guzzler’, no matter what the beverage, so I have made sure to TAKE MY TIME and savor the KetonX drink. This is the drink that actually tastes like a creamsickle and the drink that puts your body into a quick and healthy state of ketosis….within hours! It is YUMMY! This is a KEY product in the Ketopia10-Day Reset Program!

Then 2-3 hours later I typically have my Dough bite. Today I ate it on my way into town, while driving the car. A Dough bite, eaten slowly with water is VERY FILLING and satisfying. My brother and I took my folks out to lunch at a retirement community that they are checking out and the menu was fabulous…. It was a 3 and 4 course meal for lunch- with choices galore and many that I could select while on Ketopia. But….I was not hungry at all- and had no problem watching everyone (5 others) at the table enjoy soup, their choice of a main course, and dessert. Hmmm, THAT was quite unusual -I’m quite sure I have ever NOT EATEN while OTHERS EAT, but on Ketopia it truly was easy. I enjoyed conversation AND 2 8 ounce glasses of water instead.

I didn’t get home until 4:30 pm, which is later than I usually have my FIXX shake, so had a quick FIXX shake before I even settled in my office. I mixed it with cold water, put a drop of peppermint essential oil in it, shook it up and Voila…another healthy meal. IT OFFERS SUSTAINABLE ENERGY AND PROTEIN IN ONE! . (Side bar on the FIXX – it is such a fabulous meal replacement: fixx®) It’s a delicious 24-Karat Chocolate meal replacement energy shake that is made with the highest-quality clean ingredients to support your weight management goals. FIXX features cold-processed New Zealand whey from clean pasture-raised cows that contains no hormones or second-hand antibiotics, and is 99% lactose free. They also have added 30 organic fruits and vegetables, along with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and probiotics to provide you with a naturally nutritious meal replacement option!!!! (To order just FIXX go to www.JoysFavorites.com)

Dinner Time

6 pm….Back home and feeling totally satisfied. Tonight Dave prepared a healthy salad with lots of veggies, hard boiled egg, feta and blue cheese, olives and a small grilled piece of chicken.

On Ketopia drink lots of water…..to help flush toxins from your body and keep you hydrated. I always enjoy a glass of Pulse-8 in the evening, too.

D-DAY…..The Count-Down is ON!
Tomorrow I will strip down to my jog bra and “skort” and have Dave take pictures of me on Day 10! I have tried not to obsess about the scale as it is just one way of assessing success and to date, I have dropped 5 pounds. I wish it were more, but honestly the other shifts in NO cravings, inch loss, mental clarity and energy are sufficient enough to stay motivated. So tomorrow I’ll post pictures (hmmm, if I have the courage and show MY physical changes that have occurred over the 10 Day Reset.

Blogging Results!
Today Dave wrote a great blog on his Day 7 with Ketopia. In the blog he discussed the SCALE and WEIGHT LOSS and how THE NUMBER ON THE SCALE is not even in the TOP 3 reasons why people want to lose weight. The BLOG really IS worth reading…especially for us ladies who tend to obsess with the numbers on the scale rather than our body composition. https://joysfaves.com//dave-day-7-on-ketopia/
I really can relate and I think it is important for all of us to understand that the SCALE is yet one of many ways to measure your progress with Ketopia. Yes it is easy (step on step off), but what is far more important are your measurements, your Body Fat %, your BMI and your final assessment of HOW YOU FEEL! This is why it is crucial to fill out our document to help track your progress. (Email info@fgxnow.com for the document!)
Back in my late 20’s I was in great “aerobic shape”. I sported a one piece unitard with a black thong (yes this was the era of leg warmers too!)…and had a variety of high top Reebok sneakers-a pair in bright green, a blue pair and also black pair. Needless to say, I loved aerobics – much like many people are part of the ZUMBA Dance Craze or Cross-Fit these days. But I remember being fit and lean, with a body fat that probably hovered around 18-20%. One day a Personal Trainer from the Weight Training part of the gym literally dragged me from the aerobic room to the free weight room. He convinced me with my genetics that I could and would love weight lifting….really?
This is back in the day when very FEW women were lifting weights

I honestly got HOOKED ON DAY ONE! The power that the ‘IRON’ gave me was phenomenal and I loved the feelings of getting stronger. The only thing is as I continued lifting weights I GAINED WEIGHT – muscle weight. It took months for me to understand the difference between the scale and body composition (and during that time I learned to stay OFF the scale as to not get discouraged), but once I realized that although I had initially gained weight- my body FAT actually went down to between 12-15%…where it stayed for over a decade.

LESSON: Stay OFF the SCALE!

So….. with anyone (and I AM speaking out loud to myself here!) going on the Ketopia 10-Day Reset please make sure that you have realistic goals for your 10 Days and that you enjoy the MANY changes that will occur. Yes, you will lose weight- but because this program addresses BODY FAT LOSS more than weight, you’ll notice inch loss perhaps more than weight loss.

So….pull out your tester clothes! Set some realistic goals and enjoy your KETOPIA journey! Everyone I have spoken with that has started is program is in LOVE with how they feel and the simplicity of the program. Even my daughter told me today (she is on day 5) that although she only imagined herself doing this for 10 days- that she wants me to set up an auto ship so she can enjoy it on an ongoing basis. cool….

D-Day Tomorrow. Measurements- Pictures- Weigh-In….Day 10

I am confident it will be a glorious day compared to Day 1 where I literally did cry when I got weighted measured and had my before “photo shoot”. Stay tuned….. and join us in YOUR JOURNEY!

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.

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?

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!

Join us on this journey!

Decreasing Carbohydrates for Health and Ketopia

By workwithdaveandjoy | August 5, 2015 - 4:41 pm |August 5, 2015 Dough Bites, FG Xpress, FGXpress, FIXX, Ketogenic Diet, KetonX, Ketopia, ketosis, weight Loss

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 August 4, 2015

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!
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
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.

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 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. Who else out there want to join me on my journey? FREE Coaching and Support!

I even had someone ask if I had an extra Dough Bite! Sure, when you take it from my cold, dead hands! Told someone else, No my pack didn’t come with any extra Dough Bites…. (Wait for it…….)

Don’t wait, get on our list or better yet, let’s put an order in today! It’s going to take 2-4 weeks AND if you wait and place your order in 2 to 4 weeks, its going to add at least another week!

Ketopia, You’ll know when you’re there.

It’s worth the wait!

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!

Join us on this journey!

Joy’s Journey with Ketopia- Day 8

Joy’s Journey with Ketopia- Day 8

I have to say, one of the SMARTEST things Dave and I did when ordering our Ketopia was to purchase a 9 pack (All-Star pack).

The 9 pack OR All-Star pack is the best VALUE. For only $999 you receive 9 “10-Day Reset Ketopia Packs”…enough for us to do 3 10-Day Reset packs” something we were committed to for the first 30 days!!!! If you are someone who only ordered 1 10-Pack to “try” I’m afraid you will be mighty disappointed when you run out. Just sayin’….

I LOVE this program and that is what it is….It is not a diet!

Diet’s remind me of hunger and deprivation and slow results….this is anything but that!

As I am writing this I am nibbling on a Dough bite….boy are they satisfying. Yesterday I put mine in the toaster over for around 5 min. and enjoyed a delicious, WARM, soft and chewy Dough bite that was so similar to a fresh home made chocolate chip cookie that my mouth is still salivating. Because of habit and being too lazy to leave my desk to ‘heat it up’ I am enjoying mine raw. YUMMY. You’ll want to order a month supply of JUST the Dough bites when they are sold separately in September.

We have had offers from people to drive from other locations in Vermont, from Canada, from Mass. and even Maine if we would sell them one of our 10-Day Reset programs…… No Way! We calculated perfectly for our personal use and a couple others orders when we bought our 9 pack. The only thing I wish was for us to thought ahead and bought 3 of the All-Star packs so when people want to buy the Ketopia, they can start immediately.

Interested in RESETTING YOUR BODY and DROPPING FAT WEIGHT?

How much product should you begin with?

If you are looking to drop 5-10 pounds order a minimum of 1 Ketopia Reset Packs

10-20lbs. 2 Ketopia 10-Day Reset Packs

Anything more than 20 lbs. I’d suggest committing to 30 days, or 3 10-Day Reset Packs – then make an assessment from there.

Once your body is RESET it will begin burning more effeciently and effectively even when you are not consuming the Ketopia. In September, FGXpress will be offering the KetonX drink and Dough bites in a 30-Day supply. Stock up!!!! You will want them on hand for a “quick fix” in the future.

To learn more about Ketopia or place your order go to www.fgxnow.com (click on location and then Ketopia)

Today we purchased a new scale that will be more accurate and offer more information other than just weight. This is a process. It would be unrealistic for me to even THINK I could drop the 20 pounds that I wish to lose, in only 10 days. How silly would that be? So our investment for our HEALTH is to hold tight to our original goal. My goal is to drop 20 lbs. of FAT….. and to increase my energy and to accomplish this in 30 short days.

Day 10 JUST around the corner, I’ll stand side-ways with my belly in view. I will take measurements, assess my body fat%, my BMI, blood pressure and my weight….and I’ll POST. So…stay tuned.

Join us on our Ketopia Journey….oh, did we mention that you can make a ton of money helping others become more healthy? Join us…

KETOPIA made her cry….Really?

By workwithdaveandjoy | August 4, 2015 - 6:51 pm |August 4, 2015 Ketopia

KETOPIA made her cry….Really?

You bet…..you see my friend had been overweight since the birth of her baby.

Her ‘baby’ was now 5 years old. Nothing she did helped her budge her 20 excess pounds of fat she gained during her pregnancy- although she tried many things. She wasn’t lazy either. She bought many of the Beach Body videos, like INSANITY, P90X and Slim in 6….and although she FELT better, the inches and pounds stayed on her body like super glue!

She tried Weight Watches- and in 4 weeks dropped a whopping 3 pounds. How frustrating AND expensive!!!!! She tried Jenny Craig– have you seen the cost of THAT program???? Costly and restrictive…..not her style either. Then she began some crazy diets that included a combo of the 5 Bite Diet….which if you can believe, says your meals consist of only 5 BITES- literally, and even recommended Snickers Bars as an option. By the way, that IS a book, and written by a medical doctor. Really? Yup!

As you can see- when people want to lose weight they will try ANYTHING…

…even things that are not sensible or healthy. At one time in my life I worked for a weight loss Dr. who had a long line of people coming to his office in Arizona every Monday to get weighed…. and you know WHY they came to get weighed? Because if they did he would fill their DIET PILL prescription. Ahhhhh, the little miracle pill that you take, while continuing the same life style and nutrition that put you where you are today- overweight….overfat and very, very sad! I should have known it was unhealthy as I was required to do an EKG on new patients to make sure they could qualify for this “pill”.

So…..why did Ketopia make my friend CRY? Day 1, she stepped on the scale- and weighed herself.

It had been awhile and she weighed even more than she thought…..but she was determined to give the 10-Day KETOPIA RESET a full 10 Day try! Ketopia is different- it is NOT a diet, rather a program that literally puts your body into a natural and healthy state of Ketosis where your body uses your STORED FAT for fuel, rather than SUGARS and CARBOHYDRATES. Normally it takes days to weeks to get into ketosis and yet with Ketopia you can get there within hours! Using a state of the art, scientifically proven (and patented) system that includes a KetonX drink, Dough bites, and FIXX shake. For more information on Ketopia go to www.FGXnow.com.

So my friend cried on Day 1 in the morning before starting her KETOPIA program…..and she cruised through the day with an abundance of energy and clarity….with zero hunger. Like other times, she was 100% compliant in following the program.

Day 2 my friend stepped on the scale and had dropped 4 POUNDS….. Really? Not only did she lose 4 pounds- but it was bloat fat/weight and clothes that were very snug the day before actually felt comfortable! Really?

Day 3 she dropped another 2 pounds and it continued miraculously….throughout her 10 day program. By day 10 she stepped on the scale- had dropped 14 pounds and CRIED for 5 minutes straight. She was SO HAPPY with her results.

Then she called me…it was Day 11 and she CRIED again. Really? Does Ketopia really make people cry? Here is why she cried this time. She had run out of Ketopia. Although I had told her, as I do everyone who buys Ketopia and has 10 or more pounds to lose- “make sure you have a minimum of 2 10-Day packs as you will NOT want to run out!”

There is a lesson here…..if you buy KETOPIA, make sure you are well supplied.

She is now waiting for her next shipment of the KETOPIA (2 10-Day Reset packs) and I believe she will reach her goal weight loss of 25 pounds in that time. Imagine trying many things for 5 years straight and then discovering Ketopia and dropping the weight- losing FAT, gaining more energy and mental clarity!

Where NOTHING had worked in the past- Ketopia did!

Day 7 Joy’s Ketopia Journey

Day 7 Joy’s Ketopia Journey

Day 7 already- how is that possible? It has been a quick week since I began the 10-Day KETOPIA Reset program. I got off to a quick start with some initial weight loss and inch loss which was very motivating. The program itself is ULTRA easy and simply and delicious. THAT IS FOR SURE! What I am noticing is that EVERYONE’S pace of weight loss and inch loss is unique to themselves. There are no two exact results on responses with Ketopia – except that it works– some fast and furious, some slow and steady. I think I am in the second category! For sure, some results are slower than others and you guessed it, typically the men drop weight and fat much quicker than us women. Oh well- like Dave says, “Ladies, you’ll just have to get over it”! Don’t you just hate that?????

The only thing that Dave and I have been doing more of since being on KETOPIA is play an additional 30 minutes or so of tennis around 5 pm in the evening. That breaks up our day, diffuses additional energy that we have since being on Ketopia and also BREAKS the HABIT of an evening glass of wine or cocktail…. or two. What I find fascinating is I have NO cravings for sweets or carbs….and that includes no cravings for alcohol. Truly a beautiful thing as I know the empty calories in wine are what gets stored on my body- especially around the belly!

I won’t lie- my weight is at a standstill of 4 lbs. loss. SOME PEOPLE DROP THAT IN ONE DAY…but I know better than to be discouraged. 4 lbs. of fat is considerable and my body has definitely begun to shift. My muffin top around the waist is now smaller, not those jumbo muffin tops like they bake at Costco’s!

In a couple of days- when I complete Day 10 on my first of 3 Ketopia 10-Day Reset programs, I’ll share my before, Day 3 and Day 10 pictures. I will have to swallow my pride in doing this but I want people to see the real – up close and untouched- changes that can occur with using the Ketopia. YOUR results may be much quicker and dramatic than mine. My body, since going through menopause has been resistant to weight and fat loss. THIS is the first time there has been a shift that is noticeable.

I didn’t get to my size/weight overnight and I know it will take time to return to 15-18% or so body fat that I have been accustomed to over the years. I remember when I began lifting weights and body building in my late 20’s. At first I gained a little weight and then little by little my body shifted in percentage of body fat. THIS TIME AROUND I began at 25.3% with Ketopia and today I am down to 24.38%. (Going in the right direction). Although I really want the number on the scale to drop quicker, the % of body fat is more important to me….which is why I am not obsessing over the scales any longer…..but it’s hard not to want to peek to see if there are any changes. We have a fabulous document for keeping track of your weight loss, inch loss, BMI change, Body Fat % change etc. Make sure to contact me if you want it for your records. Remember both FACTS TELL but STORIES and PICTURES SELL…..so document well and even if you don’t want to – take pictures!

Join us on this journey! You’ll love the KetonX, the Dough bites, the FIXX shake and your results!
