Turkey Cleanse Day 10

“I luv this it is so motivating!!!!!!” -Galli

It is fun!  The Turkey Challenge is about making some good choices and getting support.  

Support is an essential part of success.  With Friends around us we feel stronger, not so alone and like anything is possible.  

Here is why we need Support:

“I’ve talked to nearly 30,000 people on this show, and all 30,000 had one thing in common — they all wanted validation. … They want to know, do you hear me? Do you see me? Does what I say mean anything to you?” -Oprah Winfrey

“The best mirror is a friend’s eye.”-Unknown

“It is important for people to know that no matter what lies in their past, they can overcome the dark side and press on the a brighter world.” — Dave Pelzer

“A friend is one who walks in when others walk out.” –Walter Winchill

Don’t make friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who will force you to lever yourself up.”-Thomas J. Watson

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me. –Henry Ford

We are so glad for your friendship and we so excited to bring out the best in you!  We want to help you to “Stick to It!”

“Stick to It”  means that You Gt Your Best Results during the Turkey Challenge by doing a few things, like Journal/Keep-Track/Write-Down your intake, following an Isagenix program (Today is a CLEANSE DAY) or by staying within 200-300 calories for breakfast 300-400 calories for lunch and 500-800 additional calories for the rest of your meals and snacks.

BUT…. Why?  Why do we need to “Stick to It”?

There are many things that factor in to weight loss, but a lot just has to do with #’s. The Why is ALL in the Numbers and Here is Why:  The number of calories the body needs to consumes in a day is different for every person and so are their caloric needs if they want to lose weight. You may notice on the nutritional labels of the foods you buy that the “percent daily values” are based on a 2,000 calorie diet — 2,000 calories is a rough average of what people eat in a day.

But… your body might need more or less than 2,000. Height, weight, gender, age and activity level.  If you are following an Isagenix Program, you are consuming about 1200 calories on a shake day.  That is the minimum most nutritionist will recommend without Dr. supervision.  If your following the healthy eating program your consuming on average about the same amount. That will put most of you at a 800 calorie deficit and you will be losing weight!  Woot Woot!

BUT… There is more!  According to the American Heart Association,

“more than 140 million American adults are overweight. (Did you check your BMI? Are you one of them?)  Of these, nearly 66 million are obese. People who are overweight or obese are more likely to develop heart disease and stroke (and whole lot of other illness), even if they have no other risk factors. Obesity is unhealthy because excess weight puts more strain on your heart. (Your joint, and bones to) It can raise blood pressure and blood cholesterol and can lead to diabetes. Losing weight is one of the best ways to reduce your risk of heart problems and other diseases. You can reduce your risk of heart disease by reaching and staying at your best weight.”

That’s why!  It’s also why we are hoping that some of these changes with “Stick with You!”

AND…  The WINNER is (We can’t tell you yet!!!!  Results aren’t due until Midnight EST)

Congratulations!  You’ve won an IsaShaker™ with 4 tropical & 4 orange Want More Energy?® Sticks.  Please email us your address!

Lose Over 100 Pounds 200 Pounds Even 300 Pounds with Isagenix

Dana is 35 years old. In early March 2009, she weighed 800 pounds, was bedridden & could not bear her own weight for more than 2 steps. She had open wounds which hadn’t healed in over a year & was suffering digestive problems following several rounds with antibiotics. Following several hospitalizations, the doctors gave up on her. She was told there was nothing more they could do for her and sent home to ‘die with dignity.’

In desperation, Dana grasped at gastric bi-pass as an option. However, as she did not have the money for the operation, flyers were made out & distributed for donations. Dana did not want to die, but knew she could not lose the weight by herself.

Shylynn, an ISAGENIX Associate, saw one of those flyers to raise some funds for Dana. She knew that ISAGENIX could help Dana by turning her on to the benefits experienced from cleansing. Dana resisted at first. She did NOT want to do another diet because she had learned from her experiences, that dieting does NOT work. She did not yet understand that ISAGENIX is NOT a diet or that it was fueling your body with high-quality nutrition. After some convincing, she decided to give it a go.

Within days of mineral-rich shakes for breakfast, healthy lunches and daily cleanse, her digestion had improved much, and her wounds had started to heal. Dana began to understand that when the body receives the right nutrition, the body becomes the Miracle it was mean to be. Thus began Dana’s journey to a NEW* Healthier Lifestyle.

In AUGUST 2010 – Dana became the NEWEST & FIRST Female member of the ISAGENIX 300 lb. CLUB!! “Believe in your dreams… there is nothing too great, as long as you believe! Today I celebrate 323 lbs of fat & toxins OFF MY BODY! I am filled with Gratitude and Love! -Dana”

Above photo: ”THE PRECIOUS MOMENT that I finally got to say THANKS in person to the man who created the nutrition that has saved my life and continues to improve the health of the world on a daily basis! John Anderson: Thank You so very much for SAVING MY LIFE, for believing in your formulations and for having such a heart of compassion and love. May God continually bless and be with you. I look forward to when we can spend more time together…” Dana Barnett, Celebration August 2010

Hard to believe that over a year ago, the doctors wrote on her discharge papers “SENT HOME TO DIE with/DIGNITY…”

Listening to John Anderson conversing w. Dr Andrews, Dana says: ” I am able to stand on my own 2 feet; I even walked to my own mailbox today! I am out of my home after 10 years of being home-bound and 5 years of being bed bound!! I am sooo moved to tears just hearing his voice; it makes my heart just swell with so much love. He is such an amazing man and has such a heart of compassion! I wouldn’t be here today without him.”

Dana continues to regain her health. No longer bed-ridden, she has begun some activity. As of today, Dana wrote: ‘’On the to do list today: cleanse, shake, pilates, calls, emails, a walk to the mailbox – then maybe a long awaited softball game!!! ♥ So happy to get to see him play again ♥’’

In 2009, Drs gave up on Dana & sent her home to die with dignity… then ISAGENIX found her. It’s been an AMAZING journey, but then Dana is an AMAZING person. Very courageous lady…

Childhood Obesity Linked to Fast Foods

The President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, Dr. Neal Barnard, stated that the blame of  the increasing rate of childhood obesity seems to be linked to the increase in unhealthy foods  rather than  decreased exercise.

Dr. Barnard analyzed food availability data from 1909 to 2007 and found that during that period of time the food availability increased  from 35 to 87 lbs per person per year of oils, from 124 to 200 lbs per person per year of meat, from 4 to 33 lbs per person per year of cheese and from 1.5 to 25 lbs per person per year of frozen dairy products.

Also from 1970 to 2007 the availability of sweeteners increased from 119 to 136 lbs per  person per year.  This increase in caloric sweeteners reflects the increase in high-fructure corn syrup, which in part may be related to the sharp availability of carbonated beverages which increased by 15 gallons per person per year when comparing data from 2007 to 1980.

Lets stop and think about this  for a minute. This increase alone in sweeteners i.e. mostly high-fructose corn syrup in the last 27 years has had a dramatic impact on rather new childhood illnesses  such as  diabetes, obesity and not to mention ADHD?!

Do you think a growing child with a growing brain should be bathed in so much sugar?!

The consumption of bad fats is what is increasing so we must educate ourselves on the good fats.  Overall I believe Dr. Barnard is stating that we eat too much and so it follows that our children do the same.  To quote Dr. Barnard, “Our analysis of USDA figures shows that the big increases over the last century have been in the amount of meat, cheese, oil, and frozen desserts that people are consuming.  While people tend to blame a lack of exercise, it appears that meaty, cheesy diets are largely to blame.”

Health and weight loss are both business and personal for Marilyn Ganges, who started a business selling cleansing and fat-burning products that have helped her lose weight.

“I lost 20 pounds my first month. I know that there are so many programs out there and people are confused, but I truly believe this is the best one for most people,” Ganges said.

“Kids love this stuff. You can add fruits like strawberries, bananas or blueberries to make great tasting shakes. Children won’t even know that they are eating healthy.”

Getting Past the Weight Loss Plateau

You may have been working out, eating right, cleansing regularly  and yet the scale hasn’t budged. It’s the dreaded “plateau.”

It happens, but Isagenix® has the solution!

Here are 8 ways Isagenix suggests to help you overcome your weight-loss plateau:

1.    Step Up Your Exercise. Exercise can boost your results ten-fold, especially if it includes weight training. Not only will weight training help you build lean muscle, which helps burn fat, but it can also help strengthen bones. Be sure to consult a health-care professional before starting any exercise program.

2.    Boost Your Protein Intake. A scoop of our high-quality IsaPro® whey protein from New Zealand along with 1-1½ scoops of IsaLean® Shake may be sufficient to provide an extra boost for supporting weight loss. Protein also helps to keep you feeling satisfied longer.

3.    Snack Smart. We all snack, right? Just remember to avoid snacking on high-calorie, nutrient-deficient foods. In other words, keep the cake, potato chips and ice cream out of the house. Reach for a serving of SlimCakes®, Isagenix Snacks!™, just a few almonds or even half of an IsaLean Bar.

4.   Make “Better Bad” Choices. If you’re out at a fast food restaurant and a greasy burger is calling your name, just choose a single-patty with lettuce and tomato and hold the cheese and mayo. Isagenix is all about creating a lifestyle—no one’s perfect. (Just plan your Cleanse Day for the day after your splurge.)

5.    Fill Up With Fiber. Be sure you are receiving sufficient amounts of dietary fiber daily. Fiber helps to keep you feeling fuller, longer while also keeping your bowel movements regular. Isagenix recommends gradually increasing fiber to 25-30 grams daily, in line with current National Fiber Council recommendations. Isagenix products such as Isagenix FiberPro™ and SlimCakes can help fill fiber gaps. FiberPro is a flavorless fiber supplement that can be added to shakes or any beverage. SlimCakes are a delicious oatmeal berry-flavored cookie containing 5 grams of fiber each.

6.    Avoid Sugary Drinks. These can add empty calories quickly and zero nutrition. It’s best to drink plenty of purified water and/or nutrient-dense sugar drink alternatives such as IsaFruits® or Want More Energy?® (check out our April deal on Want More Energy?). Make sure to add a pump of IsaWATER™ Alkalized Concentrate to every 8 ounces of water to not only neutralize free radicals, but also give your water a fresher taste.

7.    Banish Bad Fats. The “bad” includes saturated and trans fats. “Good” fats include olive oil, which is rich in oleic acid, and fish oil, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. To take full advantage of omega-3 fatty acids, it’s best to take a high-potency, high-quality fish oil supplement daily such as IsaOmega Supreme®.  New research also shows that dietary omega-3 fatty acids may be linked to lower body weight.

8.    Switch It Up. Sometimes getting into a routine can put your body into neutral. Push it past its boundaries by changing up your routine. Incorporate a 9-Day Cleansing and Fat Burning System every now and then, try new exercises and instead of a slow, steady jog, try a sprint workout instead.

Isagenix says, “Whatever you do, it’s important that you don’t become discouraged. Forget the number on the scale and pay attention to your body, including the inches you’re shedding, how you feel and the way your clothes are fitting. As you continue to enjoy a reduced-calorie diet, providing your body with quality nutrition, and building muscle through exercise, the weight will come off safely and you’ll be creating a true Nutritional Cleansing and Replenishing way of life.”

Vitamin D and winter in Northern CO

Vitamin D is not in abundance in the winter months, especially along the Front Range, in Northern CO. Experts advise us to supplement with Vitamin D to help protect us from an array of potential medical problems.  Information from a recent seminar  at the University of Toronto, Ontario Canada pertained to the “use of Vitamin D and how it can be used to prevent breast cancer — as well as infectious diseases, type 1 diabetes, hypertension, colon cancer, and falls in the elderly”.

Here is a quote from the Dr. Mercola newsletter, “Currently, the U.S. RDA for vitamin D is 400 IU (international units) for the majority of the population. (IU is frequently shortened to just “units.”) This dose was recommended to prevent rickets, which works well, but does nothing to give the far more important protection from cancer, heart disease and infections.”

So when chosing an effective form of Vitamin D what do you do?  According to this article there are 2 different forms.   One is natural and one is synthetic.

• The natural one is D3 (cholecalciferol), which is the same vitamin D your body makes when exposed to sunshine
• The synthetic one is vitamin D2, which is sometimes called ergocalciferol

“Once either form of the vitamin is in your body, it must be converted to a more active form. Vitamin D3 is converted 500 percent faster than vitamin D2, and is clearly a better alternative.”

Isagenix uses Vit. D3 in its products.  Once again I have found 3rd party information that supports the choices Isagenix makes when formulating their full spectrum products.

Like many,  I am interested in keeping life simple so I have time to enjoy the things I like most to do.  Since finding out about the Isagenix nutritional supplementation I know I am getting the best supplements for my body.

Fort Collins, CO Isagenix Cleansing business building dreams

I never would have thought that stopping by a kiosk at a mall in Fort Collins, CO to win a bottle of an Aloe based body cleanse would change my life.  My results on the cleanse were so surprising that I had to look further into who else was having such wonderful results.

I wanted to know more about the people who make up this company and product  line.  It has taken me on a journey and  opened my eyes to what true wellness is and what residual income is.  As a Physical Therapist I thought I was doing all the right things to stay healthy and to plan for retirement.

What I have learned was that I was missing a key component to preventative health, and that I can share good health, build income with a global business, and help others do the same, right from my home in Fort Collins, CO.!

I love helping others to be happy and Isagenix is the perfect vehicle for me.
