Joy’s Journey with Ketopia, Day 2

Oh My!!!! I am feeling GREAT!!! Slept well last night except for the multiple times I had to use the bathroom. Typically when my body has begun to drop weight in the past I do have to get up more in the night….but the inconvenience is worth it. Also I increased my water by at least 4x of what I had been consuming on a typical day.

Day 2- what was it like?

Upon waking I used a Ketostix and noticed my urine still had a trace of ketones- which was encouraging. Around 7 am I enjoyed my KetonX drink – sipped it over a 30 minute time frame. 1 hour later my Ketostix showed my body was already in the deeper maroon color

which is between moderate and large. Gotta love the visuals. Ketostix after 1 hour day 2

I think one of the most exciting things today was I dropped 2.5 pounds and Dave encouraged me to do my measurements. When I got up he noticed that I looked smaller, especially in the places where I have been storing fat. I am quite motivated and I am beginning to feel different. How is that possible after only ONE day???? My body must be happy to be utilizing my readily available FAT for energy.

Energy is HIGH…. Since it is a “program” my KetonX, Doughbites and FIXX were per usual according to the plan. Today I did add, mid-afternoon with my FIXX shake a celery stick with a cheese stick IN THE “LOG” which offered a delightful crunch and satiety. Also an hour later, I had celery with almond butter! Yes it is legal. According to Michelle Lasueur who helped formulate this program, one should strive to have 50 grams of carbs per day….. Some people do better with a little less, and some need a little bit more. When YOU do the Ketopia, will find what works best for you! (THIS is exactly what Michelle emailed me regarding carbs per day: “You want to strive for 50 but may have to go lower. Just see how you do. Some can go higher and some go lower. Everyone is so unique.)

I delighted in transferring marbles into my glass as I lose weight. 1 marble per pound….from a fat squat glass to a tall and skinny one. Though I dropped 2.5 pounds I transferred 2 marbles. I am looking forward to transferring marbles each and every day!Marbles day 2

No one can say the word deprivation with regards to KETOPIA. Our dinner is what I usually eat…..Salmon patty, LARGE salad with many greens and steamed broccoli with garlic butter drizzled on the top! The only thing that is not on the menu per usual, is a large glass of wine. BUT….ya know what, I don’t even miss it. Truly- not one bit! (shocker for sure!)

We just got notice that our KETOPIA order is being shipped to us overnight!!!! It certainly has its benefits of being ‘5 Star or higher’ and going to the Ketopia launch. Dave will begin tomorrow morning- which will be fun to do together.

Dave and I are business partners, husband and wife and best friends. It will be fun to do Ketopia together. Four years ago at age 54 we did P90X and rocked our results in 90 Days….and we truly believe that we will reach similar weight loss in just 30 days or less with KETOPIA…. plus reset our bodies at the same time for long term fat-loss! As with any program it is important to stay active so we have been playing tennis each day.

Stay tuned….my promise to everyone is whether I like the results or not, I’ll put together a collage of my BEFORE picture, Day 3 and Day 10 and then again at days 20 and 30!

“Health truly is a HABIT, not an EVENT!” Feeling hopeful that I have finally found my FAT LOSS and Lifestyle solution. This is easy….looking forward to tomorrow…..

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

Comments Off on 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…..

KETOPIA- LOSE FAT QUICK & SAFE

KETOPIA- LOSE FAT QUICK & SAFE

Exciting news! Are you interested in losing 10- 20 lbs. of body fat quickly and safely? Starting July 10th…tomorrow, we will have access to a NEW weight management system called Ketopia. There is a lot of scientific data to back up the entire program and even my nutritional & fanatic friends in the nutrition/health/fitness industry are in agreement, this IS the NEW PARADIGM in WEIGHT MANAGEMENT!

KETOPIA coming soon banner

KETOPIA uses a low carb, medium protein, high healthy-fat lifestyle! This state is known as “nutritional ketosis”. Google Ketogenic Diets to learn more of the amazing health benefits besides weight-loss. There is a lot of validation out there to support this. Personally, as a former personal trainer and “1 time” competitive body builder, I understand Ketosis. Typically it is very difficult to achieve and few have the discipline, but with KetonX there is an ease about it. It’s a magical state to be in….you have more energy, more clarity as you are burning your stored body fat for fuel. Isn’t that what we ultimately would all want?

HOW DOES IT WORK?

weigh less next week

First of all this is SIMPLE and EASY.
You simply take a special ketone drink containing (exogenous ketones), called KetonX, and then eat a neutral-carb ‘Dough Bites’ for a filling high fiber snacks. Later, when hungry you drink a dark chocolate protein/high fat shake called FIXX. Dinner time is a sensible meal with protein (meat or alternative protein source) and veggies cooked in butter or oil! Don’t worry….the program comes with a plan and suggested foods to maximize your results.
EXPECT AN INCREASE IN ENERGY AND MENTAL CLARITY!

Your energy comes mainly from ketones, secondly from protein, and very few calories from sugar/processed food- in fact, part of your success/health with Ketopia is eating clean and NOT consuming processed foods. Expect that you will lose body fat quickly as your body will no longer NEED the FAT that conveniently stores our toxins….thus a release!

belly fat pic
After a 10 day cycle, it is not unusual for someone to lose 10 to 20 lbs. depending upon where they are starting. The Ketopia program is available July 10, to anyone in the USA or Canada and fortunate for us, we’ll be there to ensure we get OUR PRODUCT immediately. I have been affiliated with ForeverGreen since 2006 and know they only bring the HIGHEST QUALITY/RESULTS products into the company…. So I am confident that this will be a winner for so many of us searching for a healthy weight loss solution.

If this truly works as well as it did in the beta testing group over the last year- and with many friends IN THE BETA TEST having huge success, this will allow change how the world looks at weight loss and losing body fat…utilizing your body fat for FUEL!!!!

I will go back to many of my former personal training clients- lifestyle coaching clients-former members of SNAP FITNESS in Burlington VT where I managed a gym and with the help of Dave DeBerardinis, my husband, ran weight loss programs both at SNAP and the city of Burlington. Our goal is to help everyone who has had a desire to lose weight in a healthy way, whether related to Lifestyle, under active thyroid, insulin-resistance etc.

Let me state clearly that this is not a fad diet! This a scientific advancement in nutritional technology is what has both Dave and I very excited!fat

KETOPIA: The BEST KEPT SECRET WILL SOON BE A HOUSE HOLD HEALTH SENSATION! Burn your FAT- Get Healthy- Get Energized!

If you or anyone you know is interested in trying KETOPIA and being in the first group to use this system can message me on FB, call or text me for additional details. We have a HUGE support system in place…..www.KetopiaWorks.com

Join us….have fun- and most of all reach YOUR healthy weight and optimum health for LIFE!

WHAT IS NUTRITIONAL KETOSIS?

Comments Off on WHAT IS NUTRITIONAL KETOSIS?

WHAT IS NUTRITIONAL KETOSIS?
BURN FAT, DON’T ABUSE CARBS

Ketosis is a natural metabolic state where the body burns fat for most of its energy rather than carbohydrates. Fat offers the body 300% more energy than carbohydrates. Typically, without several days of fasting or sticking to unrealistic diet plans, our bodies cannot reach ketosis and take advantage of this energy.

Unless you’re a monk or have serious discipline and nowhere to go, nutritional ketosis is believed to be out of reach.Ketonx1
