THE EASIEST WAY TO TAKE OFF POUNDS
AND KEEP IT OFF

•  Increase your metabolism rate
•  Cut your caloric intake
•  Start an exercise program

METABOLISM

If you speed up your metabolism, you'll burn more calories every day and lose weight every week. Let me explain how metabolism works. Your “resting metabolic rate” is based on the numbers of calories your body burns when it's performing only the most basic functions (breathing or maintaining a heartbeat). Some people have a higher resting metabolic rate. Therefore, they can eat more without gaining weight. That accounts for the person we all know that just doesn't seem to put on those pounds and you know she eats as much as you eat.

So, what do most of us do to keep that weight off?

A total program that works for everyone is one that would incorporate diet and exercise with ENERG-EE Plus. This will raise your metabolism, your energy level and help improve metabolic control. Also, ENERG-EE Plus gives you Biotin and chromium Picolinate that helps your body convert the calories you consume into energy instead of storing them as fat.

For the best weight loss results, take an ENERG-EE Plus first thing in the morning and one about lunch time to keep your resting metabolism up and to give you that energy to keep your body moving, even if it's just sitting at a desk and tapping your feet.

CALORIES

If you want to lose weight and keep it off, you have got to take in fewer calories than you use up. The simple rule of calories is that to lose weight, your body needs to burn more calories than you consume. Eat less, exercise, increase your metabolism - it's that simple.

A calorie is a unit of energy. Our bodies need energy to survive, so we eat and the calories in our food provide the energy, very efficiently. When we take in more calories than we expend, the body again very efficiently, stores the extra calories as fat, ready for us when we need to call upon our reserve for energy.

If you love bread, cut back and eat whole wheat. If pasta is on your menu, cut out the flat pasta and use the shaped pasta, they fill up your plate with less pasta, try whole-wheat pastas. Use a smaller plate and add more protein and vegetables. The main objective is to reduce the amount of white flour you consume.

Cut out those items high in sugar or other sweeteners. Use products like Splenda (a natural sugar substitute) to add that desired sweet taste to your drinks and other foods you prepare.

There are 3,500 calories in a pound. When you accumulate that many calories, you gain a pound. So, instead of saying to yourself, “I'm 10 pounds overweight, think of yourself as having a 35,000 calorie surplus of stored energy in the form of fat. To lose the fat, you've got to tap your calorie bank by taking in fewer calories and increasing your activity. Climb the stairs, take the long way to the lunchroom, park in the back of the parking lot, take a walk around the grocery store or the mall before you begin your shopping. Tap your feet, pace when you talk on the phone, get up and move during commercials. Fidget.

All of this burns calories, and thereby brings about weight loss.

Tip:

Increase your intake of foods that give you that feeling of being full, without consuming a lot of calories. Choose those foods that are high in protein, high in fiber and low in starch. You should attempt to maintain a diet, which constitute foods, which are low glycemic.

Last - don't skip breakfast!

If you don't eat when you wake up, your body goes into “hibernation mode”. It stores fat to use later. Skip this miracle meal and your metabolism could stay slower and lower, meaning fewer calories will be burned and weight loss will be more difficult. To help bring about weight loss, a high-fiber meal will keep you feeling full longer.

Facts to remember:

The body uses sugar and glucose as a primary source of energy. Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white bread, pasta, etc.) get absorbed into the blood stream as sugar very rapidly.

The basic idea behind low-carb dieting, including the South Beach Diet, is that if there is a shortage of the primary energy source (carbohydrates) then the body will, instead, begin to burn fat as a source of energy. Most energy drinks you see in the markets are high in glucose, which gives you that instant rush, but because it's immediately absorbed the energy you receive is short-lived. Because of high sugar and high glucose content they are the complete opposite approach to a good healthy weight loss program. ENERG-EE Plus has no sugar, no glucose and the energy mix is slowly absorbed over a period of time, giving you that lasting energy boost.

EXERCISE

Exercise triggers physiological changes that go far beyond simple burning of calories. Exercise is essential for achieving effective and long-term weight loss and a healthy strong body. Aerobic exercise will increase your heart strength, your lungs and circulatory system capacity, along with burning off extra calories and providing weight loss. Weight training and calisthenics build muscle mass. The more muscle mass you have the more calories you burn at rest. All forms of exercise increase growth hormone levels and trigger endorphin release (which is a natural painkiller that creates a sense of well being).

The most important thing to remember before you start your exercise program is to be as consistent as possible. Pick a program that works for you, one that you can live with that fits into your physical ability, your work and social structure. Remember exercise should be like brushing your teeth. You obviously you don't go days or weeks without using your toothbrush. Exercise is the same. Pick a program that you can be consistent with. It is much better for weight loss and general health to do a less strenuous program consistently than a high intensity program now and then.

After 20, the average woman loses an average of ½ lbs. of muscle every year, 5 pounds every ten years. Since 1 pound of muscle can burn 35 to 45 calories per day, by adding just 5 pounds of muscle to your current frame, you can burn an additional pound of fat every 18 days. This is the equivalent of 20 pounds a year that is without cutting your calorie intake.
