For a majority of people, trying to lose weight is like pulling teeth. It’s inconvenient, costly, and difficult, yet the results are not guaranteed.
Most diets go by the same thread: eat less, exercise more. However, "Why We Get Fat and What To Do About It" author Gary Taubes tells us that this is a paradox because the more intensive the exercise, the hungrier you get.
As a result, you also tend to consume more calories, as your body needs to compensate for the energy and water you lose.
The same concept applies with basal metabolic rate (BMR), or the rate by which your body burns calories. When you deprive yourself of calories, your body lowers its BMR to conserve energy needed for other activities. This is also the reason why people who engage in crash diets rarely see instant, noticeable results.
So technically, you work hard to stick to a diet but your body becomes inefficient at reducing fat in the process.
A study by Tufts University researchers in 2007 actually shows that people in low-calorie diets only lose approximately 10 pounds within six months, only to regain them in a year. In fact, up to 80 percent of all dieters regain all the weight back in just two years!
Why Is Losing Weight So Darn Hard?
Most focus on calorie counting
It can be difficult to maintain
It takes too long to notice a difference, yet you feel hungry and deprived, and you regain everything you lose after stopping
Diet Should Be a Lifestyle, Not a Race
Harley Pasternak, fitness guru and workout instructor to the stars, notes in his bestselling book, "The 5 Factor Diet," that fitness goals should be treated as a marathon instead of a sprint. In order to achieve transformative, long-lasting weight loss, your dietary program should focus on making a few simple, small, and attainable changes at a time.
In his book "The Body Reset Diet," he also noted that moderation is the way to long-lasting success. According to him, "it's far better to lose half a pound a week over 20 weeks than to drop 10 pounds a week."
So in a nutshell, here’s what your diet program should actually focus on.
Focus on:
Muscle building
Putting other safe but effective fat metabolizers into the mix
A realistic, attainable, enjoyable, and economical dietary regimen that you can continue doing for long
When you choose a dietary program, it should be a program that focuses not just on calorie counting or losing weight, but rather the holistic effect of losing weight.
You want a program that has these points:
Takes very little time to do
Is simple
Is affordable
Gives you quick results at the start
Is fun and tasty!
I'm happy to report that there is a natural line of nutritional supplements made by a company called Shaklee that fits all of these criteria.
What Does Shaklee 180 Mean? Shaklee 180 means 90 days to lose the weight and 90 days to keep it off, using Shaklee products.
Here’s how it works:
The initial 90-day plan includes energizing smoothies that taste fantastic, snack bars, teas, and a metabolism booster to help you lose the extra pounds.
The second 90-days is designed to teach you how to keep your new healthy weight for life—something most standard diets neglect to do.
It’s actually really convenient. Every month you can have a kit sent to you including Shake mixes, meal replacement bars, snack bars, energizing tea. It’s all there.
The Shaklee 180 line includes several options:
Shaklee 180 Turnaround Kit - The Turnaround Kit provides two complete meals a day with a one month supply including protein-packed shakes, satisfying bars, tasty snacks, energizing tea – all with your choice of flavors --and a metabolic boost.
Shaklee 180 Starter Kit
The Starter Kit contains all you need for your first 2 weeks of the program including two Life Energizing Shakes, one box Shaklee 180 Snack Bars, a Shaklee 180 Metabolic Boost supplement and a Vita-Lea multivitamin supplement.
With Shaklee 180, people learn how to maintain their weight loss with a realistic, convenient, and affordable eating plan.
And here’s one of the core reasons this program is so successful. At the heart of Shaklee’s 180 products is Leucine.
Again, this is vital because it’s an amino acid that signals your body to retain muscle so you lose the right kind of weight—fat not muscle.
And here’s why you won’t get hungry…
The smoothies and bars are formulated with plenty of fiber and protein to help keep you full. The smoothies also have 24 grams of protein when made as directed. They’re low-glycemic, gluten-free, and they don’t contain any artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, or preservatives.
But the smoothies aren’t the whole program.
They also have the Metabolic Boost. This contains a very potent green tea Catechin extract that helps you burn more calories naturally so you lose weight faster.
With a diet plan that has all of these, it will feel more like a lifestyle change rather than work. You don't have to punish yourself just to lose a few pounds. When you can see immediate results without sacrificing your health, losing weight becomes simple, safe, and enjoyable.
