Dave’s Journey with Ketopia Day 1

Comments Off on Dave’s Journey with Ketopia Day 1

Ketopia, the day has arrived.

Our shipment of additional Ketopia packs is confirmed and in the hands of UPS! upsSince we only had a single 10 day Reset pack, I graciously offering Joy to start and complete her 10 Day Reset. Once we knew our initial order of Packs was on the way, she suggested that we share her pack till our supply arrives! After seeing her first 2 day’s results, which were fabulous and she had distinct changes in her body that I could see with the naked eye, I’d jumped at the chance to start.

I filled in my Before Measurements and had Joy take pictures. That was the least exciting part of the morning! As a guy, we have an innate ability to look in the mirror and see, however distant, that we’re looking pretty damn good! In these pictures I didn’t hold it in, rather I relaxed and let it out…… I couldn’t see something good even though I squinted!

just finshed first KetonXSipped my KentonX drink for approx 35 minutes and even though the directions say to wait an hour or so to measure ketones, I couldn’t wait (welcome to my world!) already showing excess ketones in my body! Cool. We played 30 1 hour day 1minutes of tennis and I took another ketone measurement to see any changes…. Yep, you can see the darker color which means I’m further into ketosis!

 

 

Now I drink water (recommend 1/2 oz. per lb. of body weight) that’s 123.75 oz today for me…. for those of you doing the math in your head…. I weighed in at 247.5 lbs. this morning.

At 11 am I’ll be back with my Dough Bites…….

OK, 10:48 am Couldn’t wait…… just had Dough Bites! It’s a big slab of what tastes exactly IMG_2745like Cookie Dough! It’s been described as being a phantom carb, meaning it tastes great, but doesn’t produce and insulin response from the body! I don’t know how that works, but boy was it good and filling!

It’s 12 noon….. not hungry. So interesting….. For breakfast, I usually have 4 eggs, 2 pieces of toast, bacon or any meat left over from last night’s dinner….. it’s 12 noon and I’ve had a KetonX drink and a Dough Bite….. I’m not hungry at all. No cravings either.

 

Now it’s 2:40 pm…. just made a FIXX shake. I mixed it with unsweetened Almond Milk…. Less than 1 gm of carbs made the Shake a littleFIXX SHAKE thicker in consistency and feels more satisfying! Fabulous shake…. still not hungry.

I’ve drank about 90 oz of water….. me and the bathroom are becoming better friends as the day goes on.

 

Planning a dinner of pork roast sauteed in onions, topped with pesto, one of my favorite dishes with lightly steamed broccoli, fresh garlic – sauteed and almost burnt, butter, juice from 1/2 a lemon and salt, topped with feta cheese, finished with a fresh salad, avocados, and cheese with olive oil and Braggs….. I hope I remember to take a picture of it…..

Day 1 – I ended at 244.5 lbs., Lost 3 lbs, not hungry, no cravings, and feel great!

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!

BTW, did I mention you can earn a ton of money helping friends and family look fabulous? Sign up for more details on Ketopia and follow our progress. Send an email to be part of this to info@FGXnow.com

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”.

MENOPAUSE FAT GOT YOU DOWN? “KETOPIA” CAN HELP!!!!

MENOPAUSE FAT GOT YOU DOWN?

KETOPIA CAN HELP!!!!

The majority of my life I was active, lean and had abs that were an envious body part. In my 20s, 30s and even 40s working out in a ‘crop top’ or jog bra was normal and not embarrassing! My mom had told me when I was in my 40s to not get attached to the slim waist line I had enjoyed my whole life, as menopause would surely change all that. I didn’t believe her!

fat burning

 

I didn’t believe her! Drum roll here….and then it happened…. Around age 53 the hormonal shift began. What worked in the past no longer worked to keep me slim and trim! I began to accumulate what my girlfriends had always called the ‘muffin top’ and it was horrifying. My clothes got tight around the waist and the dreaded ‘back fat’ showed up. NO!!!! NOT SO!!! Even a solid nutritional plan that had kept me well under 17% body fat most of my life…which included moderate exercise and weight training- was not working!

I named my belly fat my Men-o-Pot! Yes, menopause was full on- with the typical night sweats, restless nights etc. Thankfully a product called PowerStrips (http://davejoy.fgxpress.com/#/fgx/home click on PowerStrips) helped balance my hormones and eliminate my hot flashes and heat discomfort….but it didn’t address my weight gain- or better said, my FAT WEIGHT GAIN! belly fat pic

Truth be told….we as women store fat at different stages of our life:

Puberty Pregnancy Menopause

All make ‘sense’ except for why do we need extra FAT WEIGHT as we get older???? Clearly it didn’t make sense to me and I vowed I’d fight it till the end!!!

hotflashes

Does any of this sound familiar???

In the past sensible food plans like Weight Watchers had worked but I found that I was no longer patient enough losing 1-2 pounds per week…..plus it required me to be thinking of food ALL THE TIME….and that is something I have no interest in. I was open and always looking for an easy & healthy solution. I I also was craving a way to RESET my body and increase my energy level. Discipline was not an issue….finding the right program was.

I always thought if I could find a program that worked QUICKLY, that was HEALTHY, that didn’t require me to “shop and chop” throughout the day with meal preparation and ADDRESSED FAT LOSS more than just weight loss- then I would be one happy lady… I am. Why?

And then….a company, FGXpress, which interestingly enough I have been affiliated with since 2006 announced the launch of KETOPIA. FGX has exclusive rights for this Dr. formulated, patented PROGRAM that puts your body into a healthy and natural KETOSIS within hours, rather than days or even weeks. What this means is you begin to burn BODY FAT FOR FUEL.

Benefits of Ketopia:

FAT LOSS= inch loss….beginning on Day 1

MORE ENERGY- Burning FAT for FUEL offers your body 225% more energy which is good for both physical energy but also MENTAL ACUITY!

Ketopia is NOT a diet…but a program where you actually RESET your body!

Ketopia visual nowIf you are like me, and sick of tired of the FAT INCHES and FAT WEIGHT that have accumulated over the years- I invite YOU to join ME on a 10-Day Reset. Personally my goal is to lose 15-20 pounds and have it be a permanent weight loss!

No more diets, no more embarrassing moments at the pool in a swim suit that is too snug and perhaps I may even say good bye to my frumpy yoga style pants that are my daily ‘go to’ pants.

To learn more about KETOPIA and how it will help YOU you’re your FAT WEIGHT go to http://davejoy.fgxpress.com/#/ketopia BUY PRODUCT- BEGIN YOUR TRANSFORMATION and BE A PART OF OUR CHALLENGE!

SAY GOOD BYE to YOUR MEN-O-POT, to Back Fat, to Triceps “bat wings”….or any other part of your body that efficiently stores body fat….and enjoy this brand new product. KETOPIA TO THE RESCUE!

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…..
