The FAT Keeps Falling Off

Personal Stats on Day 20 of Ketopia

Age 58

Down just over 17 lbs.

FAT loss of 10.6 lbs. This is the number I watch. For me, the lower Fat, the healthier the body.

Body Fat down 2.5%

BMI down 2.5 points

4 3/8 inches off my chest

3 inches off my belly

1 inch off my thighs

Stamina way up… Joy & I are now playing nearly an hour of full on tennis daily!

Tips from a 20 Day Journey

1. Water, water, water index

2. Very important to space the Dough Bites 3 hours from the Morning KetonX drink.

3. Very important to space the FIXX Shake 3 hours from the Dough Bites

4. If you need to snack, have a snack around the time you have your Dough Bites or FIXX.

5. Did I mention Water? 1/2 oz per pound of body weight.

6. Don’t get hung up on one measurement. Your body may drop inches before weight or be dropping Fat and that doesn’t show up on the Scale!

7. Choose 4-5 ways to measure YOUR success. I use Fat Loss, weight, inch loss, how my clothes fit, compliments I hear, energy level, better sleep. What ever one is good today, I WIN !

tennis8. Move your body. 30 minutes daily. Walk, tennis, bike, workout, run, jog, chase good looking ladies….. it’s all about your health! Don’t worry what you look like, just get out and MOVE !

9. If you only have 1 Ketopia Pack on order….. when you hit Day 11 you will be ticked off at yourself for not having more on hand…. Just Sayin’. Order more Ketopia Packs NOW!

10. Just noticed I lost less weight since we ran out of Pulse-8… um? 2 more tubs coming tomorrow. Keep your body edified with great supplements. I have 2 Solar Strips daily and 1-2 scoops of Pulse-8 daily!

You can order Ketopia Today ! Call or email us. or go to http://davejoy.fgxpress.com/#/ketopia and place your order!

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 20

Today is Day 20 and I am assessing my results on 2 full 10-Day Resets with Ketopia.1 Joys Results 1-20I LOVE the way I feel- I have more energy, my clothes fit much better, I have lost a ton of FAT inches and also dropped weight. Initially I had wanted to drop 14 pounds- the amount of FAT weight I had put on since menopause. (THEN I got caught up on wanting to drop 20 pounds…because I heard that the average person is losing 1 pound per day….and why NOT increase my goal of weight loss?) Silly me- that got me thinking more about the scale than the inches. There were days I wanted to throw the scale across the bathroom!Scale throwing it

Above, in the picture, are my results! Day 1 (Look at my face, I was unhappy (Ok, really I was both pissed and angry that this happened to me) and totally disgusted with how I looked. I stuffed myself into my jog bra and “skort” and Dave took my “before” pictures. Day 3….liking the little (and quick) shifts that were beginning to happen. My clothes were already beginning to fit better. Day 10– more energy, feeling better and loving the inch AND weight loss. This 10-Day reset is EASY to stick to!!!!

Ketopia ROCKS! We are so glad we purchased enough Ketopia for 30 days!

Today, Day 20…. you can see in the above picture that I have lost a substantial amount of inches. I am happy -but STILL a little bummed that my WEIGHT LOSS on the SCALE was not as much as some others… so I sent an email to Michelle Lasueur and this is what SHE posted on her Facebook Fan Page today. (Michelle helped formulate the Ketopia!)

fat verses muscle burn

Michelle LeSueur – Energetic practitioner and Nutritionist

NUTRITIONAL KETOSIS/KETOPIA: I have been receiving some feed back from woman on the program that say that they are seeing more inch loss than weight loss. I want to explain. There are a lot of fat skinny people walking around today. The scale isn’t always a good indicator of how you are doing. In order to be healthy it is about body fat, far more than weight. Woman get so caught up with the scale. Taking measurements is a much better way of doing things and measuring progress. Many times you can be doing a muscle for fat exchange and this is a good thing. The picture above does a good job explaining the difference and why this is good. As you are helping your body become more balanced and developing a healthier metabolism, you may have a fat for muscle exchange before you notice something on the scale. Something to be aware of.

For those who are looking for a product that will RESET your BODY and help you drop unwanted FAT weight once and for all, order KETOPIA TODAY!

We’ll help guide you to the BEST pack that will support your weight loss and health goals. Also there are MILLIONS of people who are dying to learn about KETOPIA- and we are looking for others who would like to make a ton money helping others with Ketopia.

Results Matter, You Don’t Need to Know Everything about Ketopia for it to Work!

Results Matter, You Don’t Need to Know Everything about Ketopia for it to Work!

A friend and mentor of 20 years sent this to me today and it resonated on so many levels! Perhaps you can relate as well. Michael Angier runs an online company called Success Net. (www.successnet.org) BTW, well worth signing up for free to receive his emails if you are into success, inspiration, motivation and business tips!

Results Matter—Pick the Fruit, Don’t Just Study the Root

fruit Michael Angiers blog on results matterA bit of humor and an important point.

A guy goes to see a psychiatrist and says he can’t sleep because he has a fear of monsters under his bed. The man realizes it’s an unreasonable and irrational fear, but he can’t seem to shake it.

The doctor says that it will take some time, but once the man realizes the source of his fear, he’ll be able to overcome his fear of the monsters under the bed.

The man asked how long that would take and the doctor says a year or two of two sessions a week. “And how much do you charge for a session?”

“A hundred dollars”, the doctor replied.

“Well, I’ll have to really think about that”, the man said. “That’s a lot of money.” And he never did return to the psychiatrist.

A year or so later, the doctor runs into the man on the street and asked why he never returned to overcome his fear. “Oh, a bartender fixed that for me for $10.”

“How did he do that?” asked the doctor, with some visible skepticism.

“He told me to saw the legs off my bed,” the man replied.

I think it’s a funny story, and I also think it has a few things to teach us.

Not the least of which is that results matter. And we don’t always have to get to the bottom of something, we just need to fix it.

(IN RELATION TO KETOPIA…..FIX THE PROBLEM – even if you don’t understand how it works!)

It might be helpful to understand how electricity actually works, but we don’t need to in order to employ its power. A basic understanding of our air conditioning system may be useful, but knowing how to operate it and how often it needs servicing is probably enough.

In This Case I am THINKING OF KETOPIA. We don’t need to know everything about how it works in order to receive the benefits and lose weight, how it resets our bodies and burns our body FAT for fuel rather than carbs and sugars. The science is a bit complicated and may be interesting to learn, but not necessary for it to WORK.

What I find interesting is people ask details of the ingredients like an expert, and then go out to lunch, eat food that they don’t know where it came from -how it is prepared- is it organic? GMO free? and then they slurp down a DIET COKE!

its time to set the reset button

I’m a big believer in having a strong enough why for our goals and intentions, but questioning why and how something works or doesn’t work is often counterproductive.

Sometimes, we’re better off “sawing the legs off the bed”.

If you are someone who is interested in KETOPIA and the results that others are getting within a 10-Day Reset…..just TRY the product. Give it a chance. Take a small risk….you may just SAVE money in the process and be surprised that your fat weight does just ‘melt off’.

Dave’s Day 13 on Ketopia

Comments Off on Dave’s Day 13 on Ketopia

My Fat Keeps Falling Off

There seems to be a cumulative effect with the Ketopia 10 Day Reset. The longer I’m on the program the longer my body measures that I am in ketosis all day. Last night at 10 pm, a full 15 hours after my KetonX drink, the KetoStix measured moderate to high levels of ketones.

This means that as I went to bed and into the night, my body was still burning fat. Frankly, this is the easiest program I’ve ever been on.

Just follow the stepsKetopia visual now

1. Drink KetonX drink in the morning with 10-12 oz of water, sipping for 30 to 45 min

2. 3 hours later Eat a Dough Bite, I actually cut my Dough Bite in 1/2 and eat have at 11 am with 15 oz of water and the other 1/2 at 12 noon with another 15 oz of water

3. Around 2 pm, I have my FIXX shake mixed with water

4. Between 6-7:30 a nice meal. Last night included 1 1/2 grass fed, organic hamburger (no bun) a tossed salad, & broccoli, steamed with butter, garlic, lemon and salt, topped with feta cheese. I had cooked 2 burger for myself…. but couldn’t finish the 2nd one!

Morning coffee with stevia drops for a sweetener, (NO sugar laced International Delight coffee cream!!! ) Snacks during the day include 1/2 an avocado, olives, on a lettuce wrap, or some nuts, or a piece of aged Vermont cheddar cheese.

Plenty of water …. 1/2 oz per pound of body weight.

Day 13 I dropped a 1/2 a lb . and visually looks like another inch off my belly. Haven’t measured yet, but it is quite a noticeable change! New Pics coming on Day 15.

 

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 15

Scale throwing it A couple of days ago this was me. I wanted to SMASH the bathroom scales. Why? The number on the scale was not changing! I began comparing my weight loss in pounds to others doing Ketopia. What a mistake!!! Don’t do it!!!! Everyone’s Ketopia journey is their own!

Then I took my measurements….and I got the REAL picture.

As of today I have LOST 4.5″ around the BELLY! The #1 area I wanted to shrink! Now THAT is a number I can live with! inch loss

Ketopia is about FAT BURNING….

Ketopia resets the Body so it can burn your stored Body Fat for fuel, rather than relying on carbs and sugars. NO OTHER PROGRAM or cleanse does that. That is why all other programs are a short term success, if that! The KetonX drink that you sip first thing in the morning puts your body into a healthy state of Ketosis within HOURS- not DAYS!

Nutritional programs (OK, DIETS) that drastically lower your calorie intake, or have you consume nothing but liquids (like green drinks or fresh squeezed lemons) may assist you in dropping toxins- I’ve done them- I know! (which leads to losing fat, as fat stores toxins) but they are not long term solutions for reaching your ideal body weight, nor are they sustainable for a long period of life. Ketopia is– as is the KETOGENIC style of eating!

I have had several friends recently ask what will happen after they go off Ketopia? Here’s my take on it. Ketopia is a RESET of the body’s ability to burn FAT for fuel rather than relying on carbs and sugars….so once you go OFF Ketopia your body will continue to burn more efficiently! (Much like rebooting a computer!) Also, for me, my cravings for anything high in sugar, carbs or “foods not on the Ketopia program” is so low that I truly can’t imagine myself ever going back to the unconscious way I was consuming food before. I know for both Dave and I, we plan to continue through Day 30 and then use some of the products periodically to keep our bodies leaner AND – truly- because we love the way they make us feel, we love the taste and also the convenience! OH….and we are saving $ while on Ketopia~

We are enjoying the results but we are only part way to our goals. Once we reach our goal weight/size our goal is to do what we can to maintain it forever. Will I enjoy my wine at night and occasional popcorn at night? probably….but our goal is to eat more CONSCIOUSLY and to keep the ratio of our foods HIGH IN FAT, MEDIUM IN PROTEIN AND LOW IN CARBS!

Dave’s Day 12 on Ketopia

By | | , , , , , , ,
Comments Off on Dave’s Day 12 on Ketopia

Day 12 and another pound dropped? Nope.

What? What do you mean? EVERYBODY has weight loss EVERYDAY ON KETOPIA! Nope.

Yes, my body is a little smaller, my inches are down from yesterday, my clothes hang better and my weight showed up 1 lb this morning!

I’m already seeing and hearing people saying, What’s wrong? Why this or Why that?

What’s Happening?

Your body has it’s own pace. Some days very little changes! Some days there are HUGE changes! Almost posted my Day 12 side view …. it is already dramatically different than Day 10…. I’ll post on day 15.

Absolutely Nothing is Wrong!

You’re either looking at too short a time frame or you’re focusing on just one measure! Suspending judgement for 3-5 days will solve most of your concerns. And measure more than 1 thing. Most are measuring the number on the bathroom scale. That’s a myopic approach, focusing on just one arena rather than your whole body.

Here’s what you want to measure

1. How your clothes fit Day 1 vs Day 10

2. Difference in Body Fat % Day 1 vs Day 10

3. Inches lost Day 1 vs Day 10

4. BMI (Body Mass Index) changes Day 1 vs Day 10

Here’s the form we use to track progress in different areas Before/After Measurements

Before-after

I know most people are only posting about their “weight Loss” but you have to look further.

Actually, look further beyond weight, further than inches, further than body fat, keep going way, way down till you reach BETTER HEALTH! That’s the goal, not the numbers. Enjoy the game of the numbers, but don’t miss the mark. It’s about your Health in 10 to 30 days!

Here’s what to do

1. Download the Measurement form

2. Take before and after Pics

3. Put on “Tester Clothes” (The ones you won’t throw away , but would never wear them in public) Take a before and after Pic of this.

4. Keep your eyes on your Paper! No Cheating!

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 8 on Ketopia

By | | , , , , , ,
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

By | | , , , , , , ,
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!
