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!

KetonX drink
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!) weight-loss-women-e1430602798732
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?PowerStrips
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.

because this feeling really sucks
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!

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!

Decreasing Carbohydrates for Health and Ketopia

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

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! Burn the Fat
 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 fat burning
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. lean-woman-holding-a-dumbbell

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 joy-bodybuilding2 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.

KETOPIA made her cry….Really?

By | |
Comments Off on KETOPIA made her cry….Really?

KETOPIA made her cry….Really?

too fat 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.

SCALES Don't Step on it IT WILL MAKE YOU CRY

 

 

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!

Burn the Fat

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?????

BMI picture eCard

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!

muffin top

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!

Comments Off on Dave’s Day 5 on Ketopia

Ketopia, You’ll Know When You’re There

That line makes sense now. By late morning on the 3rd day, I started feeling so energized and alive. Hard to completely put my finger on it, but it is palpable. Now I can say it…….You will know when you’re there!

It’s easy, no craving and I feel satisfied all day!

Day 5 I’ve now lost the grand total of 6 lbs. lost, fat down 3.6 lbs and Body Fat off 1% !! Perhaps more important, I feel so much better and smaller….. Clothes are hanging better, belly is not protruding!

On day 3 and 4, I did notice my digestive system was feeling bound up, felt bloated, almost toxic….. FIXX chocolate shakeEven though I thought I had been consuming enough water, perhaps I hadn’t been. So I upped my water (not just counting the KetonX & FIXX shake as part of it) and consumed 1/2 oz, per lbs of body weight.

Additionally I stopped using unsweetened Almond milk in my FIXX shake and went back to pure water. Additionally even though cheese and cheese sticks are allowed, I dropped cheese too… I think that may have contributed to binding me up. I replaced the cheese snacks with 1/4 avocado, a few black olives wrapped in a large romaine lettuce leaf. Yummy!

Last evening, during our team calls, my digestive system started kicking back in! ( My apologies, if I cut the calls short! lol )

I have been stead fast in my commitment to not having any alcohol. Not easy, especially over the weekend…. I’m not sure how to have a cigar without a good scotch. I guess I still haven’t figured that out. No cigars either!

Our dinners have been fabulous. Even though I’ve not been that hungry, the meals have been delicious and plenty

 

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!

Day 6 Joy’s Journey with Ketopia

I’m blown away with the ease of this 10-Day Ketopia Re-Set Program and so is my daughter, Kori.

Kori started her 10-Day Ketopia today and will complete her 10 days on her 33rd Birthday. She is also excited with the EASE and PHENOMENAL TASTE of these 3 products that are part of Ketopia. Like me, she is not new to ForeverGreen and their phenomenal products….we have been enjoying MANY of them since 2006- but like all of us, Ketopia is very new to her. She wasn’t sure how she would like it but trusted me and wanted the results of FAT LOSS and MORE ENERGY/MENTAL CLARITY that Ketopia provides. Who doesn’t want more energy, mental clarity and less “excess” body fat?Day 1 2 3 in JEANS

She called me this morning after sipping on the KetonX drink and said, “This is delicious- I can get used to this”….and later in the day called after she ate her Dough bite and raved at how filling and tasty it was and how long it took her to much through it…. and even though she has drank Thunder and FIXX shakes over the years- she was equally excited with the taste and energy from JUST THE FIXX! Normally she mixes it with milk, nut butters, frozen fruit…but this time- just cold water and loved it. FIXX SHAKE

Not much “new news” to share today except I am more than 1/2 way through my first 10-Day Reset and I am LOVING the added energy, ease of food preparation and the way I feel. I am purposely not measuring myself or weighing myself until Day 10 (if I can hold off doing so) …. because the TRUE benefit is health and FAT LOSS at the end of the 10-Days. Because HEALTH IS A HABIT and NOT AN EVENT, Dave and I are both going to do 30 Days of Ketopia to reach our weight loss goals, and also assess how we feel after giving it a good length of time!

Ketopia is an easy 10-Day WEIGHT LOSS Program I must say- and I encourage everyone to give it at least 10-Days!!!!

Within the first couple of days you’ll find you will no longer have cravings or lulls in your days- and the inches will begin to melt off your body where you have a tendency to carry and store your body fat. fat burning

How much body fat weight do you have to Lose?

FAT

If you have 5-10 pounds to lose we recommend a 10-Day Reset Program of Ketopia

If you have 15-20 pounds to lose we recommend two 10-Day Reset Programs of Ketopia

If you have 20-30 or more pounds to lose we recommend three 10-Day Reset Programs of Ketopia…

Day 5 Joy’s Journey with Ketopia

Day 5 Joy’s Journey with Ketopia

How is it POSSIBLE today is already day 5 using Ketopia? I am already ½ way through my first 10-Day Reset program of Ketopia….and have committed to do 30 days straight. My goal is to lose 20 lbs. in this time frame and I believe I will.
30 DAYS

What will be my results at the end of Day 10? Stay tuned…..I WILL compare my Before Picture (yikes), Day 3 and Day 10 pictures and share my weight loss as well as inch loss. As for today, after 4 full days on Ketopia I have lost 4 pounds! They say most people average 1 lb. or 1.5 lbs. per day weight loss. Many drop considerably more in their first 1-5 days, but stabilize off at this slower and steady pace. (I’d be happy with 1 lb. per day!) and yes ladies…prepare for it- men DO tend to lose weight quicker so I’m trying NOT to get upset that Dave has dropped 5 lbs. in 2 days while I have dropped 4 lbs. in 4 days!

To give you a heads up warning…my comparison pictures I will post at Day 10 are of me in a tight black “skort” (skirt with built in shorts) with a jog bra. (Something to look forward to, lol) The pictures are taken in a sideways view- totally relaxed with nothing being held in. I realize I am SO accustomed to holding in my belly that when I actually saw these pictures in a fully relaxed state I cried. I really did!

When I say this I mean it- this is the easiest and simplest program I have EVER BEEN ON IN MY LIFE….and the results are already promising. I encourage everyone who is interested in losing weight and having more energy and mental acuity to give this a minimum of a 10-Day Reset. Don’t wait to see how your friend will do and base your LIFE and HEALTH on their results- that’s silly….give it 10 Days…..and you’ll know! Then you can ALL compare and celebrate your successes together! Ketopia visual now

Today I awoke fully rested with SO much energy and clarity. Could it be that “I have arrived” or as Ron Williams says, crossed the bridge? And that YOU’LL KNOW WHEN YOU ARE THERE? We had two team calls that Dave ran and HE was extremely clear on the calls. Truth be told, during both calls I multi-tasked and cleaned our entire 5 LEVEL ski condo (minus vacuuming as it would’ve made too much noise) AND I did a load of laundry. That is not my typical Saturday morning routine but I had energy to burn…..

And then Dave suggested we play tennis. Honestly, because of HIS energy and clarity I took a SolarStrip and put on half PowerStrips below my belly to give me the added edge of energy and blood flow. It didn’t help my tennis game but we did have a great 30 min. play of tennis until the rain poured down. (www.fgxnow.com for info on both the PowerStrips and SolarStrips)

This afternoon our granddaughters ages 3 and 7 arrived late afternoon for dinner and the night and as always we had a great time. DSC01229Thanks to feeling full and having no cravings it wasn’t difficult smelling their freshly popped popcorn at movie time or when they had their little sundae cup of ice cream. Normally I eat their left overs or finish the snacks they can’t finish. Not tonight! My goal is by the time I have gone through 20 days on Ketopia I won’t even mind putting on my swimsuit and going to the pool with them. I do it now but I wear what most women consider their friend -“a sari cloth wrap around the waist”. Right ladies?

If you are reading this and wondering if you can do this program-the answer is YES YOU CAN!

We are here to coach you along the way. Both Dave and I have been person trainers and have run many weight loss challenges at gyms as well as city-wide here in Burlington, VT. You get our coaching for FREE. We CARE about your results so come get healthy with us!!! Drop your unwanted pounds….share with your friends and make a ton of NEW friends and a LOT of money by helping others. What a great way to contribute to others lives…. This IS A GREAT BUSINESS…..Join us and our amazing team!!!

Dave’s Ketopia Journey Day 2

Day 2 on Ketopia

Slept soundly, other than a couple of bathroom breaks….. I’ve upped my water in the past to 1/2 oz per body weight and remember it took a couple of days for my body to get used to it and stop having to use the bathroom so often. I expect today to match my number of bathroom trips as I did yesterday. Thinking of mounting my iPad on the wall behind the toilet, so I can get caught up on my reading. I believe I could finish a couple of books this week.

DOWN 5 lbs in the first 48 hours!

Look slimmer….. although I didn’t really seem to notice improvement in my tennis game this morning. I’m thinking because I weigh less, I’m maybe a 1/2 step faster and have to compensate for the change in aerodynamics…….. Oh, never mind….

Enjoyed the KetonX drink even more this morning. Just mixed a packet of KetonX with cold water and sipped it for 45 minutes while I fixed a problem with this website….. I touched something I shouldn’t have yesterday in the css files….. But I digress…

The most surprising thing for me has been the lack of cravings. That is awesome. Not to feel like I’m missing something. I believe staying on this Ketopia 10 Day Reset will be easier than anything I’ve ever done in the past.

indexHeard a comment yesterday about being careful not to drink too much water as you can deplete your sodium and potassium in the body. Here’s what I found… The KetonX drink has 850 mg of Sodium (which is 35% of RDA=Recommended Daily Allowance) and 1120 mg of Potassium (32% of RDA) FIXX has Sodium 190 mg (8% of RDA) and 800 mg of Potassim (22% of RDA) And I add a pinch of salts with dinner….. I don’t see this as an issue. Keep your water intake to 1/2 oz per lb of body weight. I keep refilling a 20 oz water bottle and drink 6 of those daily.

Dough Bites Taste Fabulous Just Sayin’

One of the results I am waiting for is the feeling of energy that others have talked about. It seems to show up between Day 2 and Day 4. I have notice that by just being off grains, my breathing is better and I didn’t feel congested in the early afternoon after my typical lunches.

7 pm – Dinner time, but I’m not hungry… WHAT ?

Crazy. I’m always hungry! Today I had KetonX Drink, 1 Dough Bite, FIXX shake, 2 String Cheese….. We decided we might want to make dinner…. I didn’t see the point. I eat cause I’m hungry, not because of the time of day…..

Chicken

Decided we should!

Grilled 2 chicken breasts drizzling small chunks of Blue Cheese on them (OMG), along with a grilled Zucchini (halved) with oil, garlic, salt and pepper, added a medium salad with Blue Cheese dressing…. Tasted wonderful, only had 1/2 a breast…. felt satisfied….

Could the Ketopia Reset really be a “Reset” ? Its looking that way guys!

 

Day 2 – I ended at 242.5 lbs., Lost 2 additional lbs today for a total of 5 lbs in 48 hours.

Not hungry, no cravings, and feel great! I look and more importantly, feel smaller!

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’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!
