Want to loose some weight and keep it off?

After years of continually abusing their bodies through sedentary habits and eating an improper diet of high-glycemic foods that spike their blood glucose levels, many people find it becomes harder and harder for them to lose extra pounds and maintain a healthy weight. A poor lifestyle can cause your body to over-stimulate the release of insulin--the body's storage hormone. In essence, if you keep overeating sugar and high-glycemic carbohydrates, you will be more likely to gain weight.

It isn't necessary to starve yourself to lose weight. In fact, consistently eating less than 1,000 calories a day may actually slow down your metabolism and make it harder to lose weight. You do, however, need to make smarter choices about what you eat. When you eat high-glycemic foods it can cause your body's blood glucose levels to quickly spike and then crash, leading to feelings of hunger sooner and seemingly uncontrollable cravings.

A better choice is to eat low-glycemic foods which keep blood glucose levels more stable, helping to reduce carbohydrate cravings, leave you feeling satisfied longer, and control your appetite more easily. All of USANA's Macro-Optimizers are clinically tested and guaranteed to be low glycemic, and nearly 95 percent of RESET participants report significantly reduced carbohydrate cravings after completing the five days.

RESET is a commonsense approach to nutrition that includes low-glycemic carbohydrates packed with soluble and insoluble fiber, low-fat sources of protein, and beneficial fats. And by eating small, low-calorie meals frequently throughout the day, you will create a caloric deficit without going hungry, making it easier for you to lose weight.

Try RESET, I did and I lost 22 lbs. My wife tried it and she went from size 12 to size six in one month. You will be glad you did!

Three Reasons Why Diets Fail

It’s little wonder that we ask ourselves,
“Why can’t I lose weight? What am I doing
wrong?” But it’s not we who fall short; it’s
our diets.

Problem #1
A Quick Fix. Dieters often drastically restrict
their calories or food choices now but return to
their old habits once they reach their goal.
Solution: Permanent lifestyle changes are
needed to achieve sustained weight loss.

Problem #2
Fad Diets = Unbalanced Nutrition. Too
often, diets focus on specific types of foods
or nutrients and disregard the importance
of everything else, leading to unbalanced
nutrition.
Solution: For optimal nutrition, our bodies need
a balanced variety of nutrients, including the
right types of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

Problem #3
The High-Glycemic Trap. Eating high-glycemic
foods can sabotage even the best of diet plans
because the resulting spike and subsequent drop
in blood sugar leads to a more rapid return to
feelings of hunger.
Solution: A better approach focuses on
low-glycemic carbohydrates, which help to
moderate blood glucose levels, leaving you
feeling full and satisfied longer.

If you have been struggling with your weight, its time to take control now. USANA offers a program to start you off right. The Reset program was created for people like you and me who are sick and tired of been sick and tired of diets. USANA can help you take control of your weight.

Low glycemic meals to reduce obesity

In a recent study, metabolic effects of meals with varying glycemic index (GI) were evaluated. In a group of healthy volunteers, glucose, insulin and leptin responses to two contrasting breakfast cereals were measured. Leptin is a hormone produced by fat cells that indicates the degree of hunger to the hypothalamus of the brain. Lower leptin levels trigger a sense of satiety and decreased hunger.

Meals were provided on two separate occasions in random order after a 12-hour overnight fast, and consisted of 50 g of available carbohydrate from either Corn Flakes (Kellogg's), or Fiber One (General Mills). Blood samples were obtained at rest, and 30, 60, 90 and 120 min after eating. The GI was calculated from the glucose response to the test meal normalized against a 50 g oral glucose load.

The average GI for Corn Flakes was 125 and 49 for Fiber One. These meals were classified as high GI and low GI, respectively, and were significantly different from each other. The insulin response following the low glycemic meal was significantly reduced compared to the high glycemic meal. The high glycemic meal significantly suppressed circulating leptin levels compared to the low glycemic meal.

Lower insulin response and higher circulating leptin levels suggest that low glycemic meals promote a post-meal environment that is favorable for reduced food consumption; this may be advantageous in the control of obesity and related disorders, including insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

USANA provides low glycemic nutrimeals that not only are good for you, they are also delicious.

Whei proteins improve glucose control

In a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers evaluated whether supplementation of high-glycemic meals (GI) with whey proteins would increase insulin secretion and improve blood glucose control in type 2 diabetics.

Subjects with type 2 diabetes were served a high-GI breakfast and lunch supplemented with whey on one day, and lean ham and lactose on another day.

When whey was included in the meal, insulin responses were significantly higher for both breakfast and lunch than when it was not included. In addition, blood glucose response was significantly reduced after lunch with the inclusion of whey.

In type 2 diabetics, whey added to high-GI meals may increase insulin secretion and improve blood glucose clearance after a meal. This can be of significant benefit to those with reduced insulin secretion and/or compromised blood glucose regulation.

USANA nutrimeals have the whey proteins needed for this. Dr. Wentz has revolutionised the health industry by providing for the consumer low glicemic meals that are not only beneficial, but essential.
