BURN FAT, DON’T ABUSE CARBS

Understanding how insulin contributes to (or detracts from) your weight management goals is important as you begin your Ketopia program.

The body produces insulin, a fat-storing hormone, to digest foods that are high in carbohydrates. Eating a diet high in carbohydrates leads to high levels of insulin in the body, which blunt the body’s ability to break down fat for fuel. As an alternative, the body is forced to rely on glucose (sugar) for fuel, which makes reaching your weight-management goals more difficult.

Dough Bites contain non-impact carbohydrates that don’t create an insulin response in the body, thus helping you to keep your weight in check. This allows your body to increase its utilization of fat for energy without making you feel sluggish. Its sustain release properties also help the body stabilize its glucose levels over longer periods of time.

BURN WITH MCT OIL

Dough Bites also feature MCT (medium chain triglyceride) oils, which are fats that help the body burn unwanted fat. Their unique chemical makeup makes them more readily absorbed and more quickly metabolized than other fats. This means the fat from MCT oils is utilized quickly by muscles and organs, opposed to being stored in the body.

MCT oils have also been found to have a thermogenic effect in the body, which means they increase heat in the body through metabolic stimulation. Last but not least, MCT oils have been found to aid in appetite control to reduce cravings and hunger, making it a critical component of the Ketopia system.

SAY GOODBYE TO CRAVINGS

Dough Bites also include PhantomFiber™, a prebiotic fiber that helps to balance and maintain healthy digestion and support a healthy immune system. It has also been shown to balance blood glucose levels and increase satiation to reduce cravings and further aid in the reduction of body weight.

Fiber is an important part of any diet, as it promotes regularity and helps you to feel fuller, longer. With 15 grams of fiber in each serving, Dough Bites help you to meet the recommended daily fiber intake.

All the science aside, Dough Bites are a delicious guilt-free snack that satisfies your sweet tooth without steering you from the Ketopia program.

24-KARAT® CHOCOLATE

Chocolate

At ForeverGreen, we believe health should be a pleasurable experience. That is why we bring you our delicious 24-Karat Chocolate! Before commercialism filled it full of waxes and fillers, chocolate was a dark, antioxidant-rich experience found from the blossoms of the cacao tree. That’s right, chocolate is a fruit! Every Dough Bite features tasty 24-Karat Chocolate, which might just be why it’s everyone’s favorite part of the Ketopia system.

Beginning in September you’ll be able to by a 30 day supply

Day 4 Joy’s Journey with KETOPIA

Day 4 Joy’s Journey with KETOPIA

“Ketopia” states “YOU’LL KNOW WHEN YOU ARE THERE”….and I am beginning to understand what that means! Last night I was WIDE awake- energy surging through me- my mind active with excitement of Ketopia working and being EASY…. Down 3.5 lbs. and today I’ll compare (side by side) my beginning picture and my end of 3 Day picture. It’s more about how I FEEL and LOOK than the scales, but honestly I still want to drop 20 lbs. within 30 days!!! Maybe it’s a female thing! Woman on Scale

Yes, last night while Dave was fast asleep I tossed and turned….watched the clock read 12:40, 1:11, 2:45, 3:33 and then finally- I had a stint of sound sleep until 6:30 am. On Ketopia, with the WATER and FAT BURNING I was in and out of the bathroom many times throughout the night!!! At around 3:30 believe it or not I actually dropped down and did 10 pushups….to shift my energy. Then I went to the refrigerator and got a spoonful of almond butter. It worked. I fell asleep soon after. KEY HERE: Drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water but prepared to be up many times in the middle of the night!

index

My day? GREAT day! This plan is the easiest and least complicated I have ever done…..and I’ve done some doozies over the years- mainly in the past 5 years! My morning started with ½ hour of tennis and then I picked up my two granddaughters, ages 3 and 7. Once again, no urges to eat their left over grill cheese crusts like usual or their fresh fruit cut up that they didn’t want. I think part of this is that I had the Doughbite ½ hour before preparing their lunch and it cures any cravings or pangs of hunger. For sure I’ll be buying them in bulk next month when they are available outside the 10-Day RESET- just to have on hand!!!!

A busy day for sure but no “DRAG in my SWAG”! When Dave asked if I was up for another ½ hour of tennis at 5 pm I was! Usually I am dragging by this time – especially after having my granddaughters here all day….AND by the bewitching hour of 5 pm, especially on a Friday, I would have already uncorked a bottle of chilled white wine. No urges to blow my 10 days!!!!

No Drinking Wine

I did have a couple sips of coffee this morning with heavy cream and stevia and it tasted HORRIBLE. I’m not sure if it is because I normally have coffee with International Delight “dessert cream” but there was no way I could continue with what I had poured! Maybe along with this 10-Day RESET- the Ketopia is also resetting my taste buds to prefer healthier things! Fabulous Benefit!!!!

I have to say, my side by side pictures put together today DO show a slight change in body fat around the belly in particular and I certainly feel lighter and less ‘doughy’ around the middle. I am grateful to have found Ketopia and have the ability to share with thousands of people who can benefit, for both their health and also their appearance. I joke that I should have put on sunglasses and a straw beach hat to disguise myself in my BEFORE picture, but I believe if I am authentic and share MY experience, good or bad- it will help others believe that they too can do Ketopia with ease and success and enjoy the long term benefits of being healthier.

ALSO, Day 2 for Dave and he looks distinctly smaller today around the belly in just one day!!!! Stay tuned to our Blogs here at www.WorkwithDaveandJoy.com

In summary, KETOPIA is a 10-Day Reset program that puts your body into a healthy and natural (and quick) state of Ketosis so you use stored body fat for fuel rather than carbs and sugars. To learn more go to www.fgxnow.com click on LOCATION and then click on KETOPIA!

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…..

IMG_2746

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, Day 2

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!

90 day pic

“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…..

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?

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
