Hi there
Thank you for taking the time to read through this information. Yes, Fat Loss for Life is not a diet, but a life style change program.
No quick fi x or crash diet will ensure you maintain your ideal weight long term. It is just not possible. Changing your bad eating habits to a healthier one will ensure that you maintain your ideal weight and keep it.
Being overweight is mainly caused by bad eating habits, namely consuming more calories than what our body needs to perform its daily functions. It is not rocket science to understand it. We need to use more energy than we consume, so that our bodies would have to break down some fat for energy, resulting in weight loss.
Losing weight isn’t diffi cult, keeping it off is the tough part. Crash diets and quick fixes causes more harm than good. Do you know of any person that has tried a quick fix diet and remained successful in keeping the weight off?
At Fat Loss for Life we go on a journey with you. We assist you and educate you on living a normal life and changing your bad eating habits to correct eating habits. By following our advice and guidance, you will not only live a healthier life but most importantly you will lose weight and keep it of.
Now that is the ultimate prize for joining our program!
In order for your body to lose weight, you need to eat the correct amount of calories that your body needs. The body needs calories (energy) in order for you to do your daily functions. But your calories are also made up of 3 very important nutrients in order for us to live a healthy life namely;
• Carbohydrates
• Protein
• Fat
Eating more of the above than what your body requires will ultimately lead you to pick up weight. Eating less of the 3 nutrients will ultimately lead your body to lose weight. In order for your body to lose weight successfully, you need to eat 10% less of the correct amount of calories than what your body needs. This will result in you starting to lose weight and because you have now learned to eat correctly, the weight will stay off and you are able to maintain your correct body weight due to your new way of eating.
So what do we at Fat Loss for Life offer our members?
You will join up at one of our agents. You will weigh in once a week at your agent. The agent will take down the following details of you when you weigh in;
• Your weight
• Your Body Fat %
• Your Body Water %
• Your height
This information will then be given through to our health department where you will be assigned to a specific health consultant that will analyse your information and give you feedback on the correct amount of calories and nutrients that your body requires. The health consultant will also determine your correct BMI that you should be.
A correct BMI (Body Mass Index) is between 18 - 25. We are aware that the following part takes a bit of time and effort. If you are serious about losing weight, then you have but no choice to follow the following.
• Complete the daily Food Log Sheet
• Forward this to your dedicated health consultant
• Follow the advice given back relating to the food you have consumed.
You will start to learn what is healthy for your body and what is not. You can either email the sheet or fax it to our offices. It has been proven that members that complete their Food Log Sheet on a daily basis, achieve 100% results in losing weight.
When we analyse your Food Log Sheet, we calculate the various percentages of the 3 nutrients that you are consuming. We are then able to advise you what the various values are of the food items you are consuming in relation to the 3 important nutrients’. As an example a 40 year old women with a height of 1.70m that weighs 75kg needs the following amounts of grams of nutrients per day;
• Carbohydrates – 167g
• Protein – 45g
• Fat – 40g
• Calories – 1200
Should the person eat 1 200 calories of food for the day, but she consumes 100g of fat in her food and only 110g of Carbohydrates then ultimately she will also not lose weight. The reason is that your body needs only so much of the 3 nutrients and in order for you to lose weight successfully you need to eat correctly.
To add to the above you also need to follow the following important factors that will assist you in losing weight successfully;
1. Drink Water
As you change your eating pattern and do exercise, your body will release toxins. Water is essential to wash the toxins out of your body. Drink at lest 6 to 8 glasses of pure water per day. If you want to be successful with your weight loss strategy, you have to cut out soft drinks, coffee and tea. Rather put a few drops of lemon juice in the water for a little bit of taste.
2. Lifestyle change – Not a “Diet”
See this strategy, program or whatever you want to call it as a lifestyle change and not a diet. Once you have come to understand how your body reacts to certain foods, you will be more careful to eat the “wrong” types of food in the future. It is difficult to sustain a diet, but to change your lifestyle and eating habits permanently;
you need to have a mindset change, and this will have much longer lasting effects on your weight than just a normal diet.
3. Never go Hungry
It is important to carry snacks with you, because hunger is one of the major culprits, causing us to eat “wrong” foods when our blood sugar levels drop.
4. Sleep
6 to 8 hours of sleep is very important, because enough sleep will help to restore your bodies’ functions. If you don’t sleep enough, you tend to crave the “wrong” foods during the day and because your body’s function has not been restored properly, it will be tougher to lose weight.
Now for the all important question:
What will this program cost you per month? We have done various surveys on market related products and looked at the services our competitors were offering. We then made a comparison and looked at what we are offering our members. A personal health consultant will be your guide throughout your time with us on the program Providing you with meal eating ideas.
• Various calorie calculated menus.
• An appetite meal suppressant.
• Dedicated agent that will motivate you.
• Support structure and team to be with you every step of the way.
• SMS reminders on various health issues.
Finally we decided on a price tag of R395-00 per month. But that is not all, as added value, and in an effort to incentivise you to loose weight, we will give you a R50 discount for every 5kg that you lose. Our aim is to encourage people and to support them to lose the unwanted weight they are carrying.
And then finally when you reach your correct BMI (between 18-25), we will treat you to a full day of pampering at a Health Spa, including 3 treatments of your choice from our selected list. You need to be honest with yourself. If you are desperate and willing to put in some effort into losing weight, then Fat Loss for Life is your partner in losing weight.
Now all that is left is for you to take that all important step and fi nd your local agent and join our program and start the journey to the new YOU. Should you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate and contact us.
