1. WE DON'T EAT ENOUGH VEGETABLES
AND FRUITS.
|
|
Less than 10% of the population
eats 5 servings a day. Fresh vegetables and fruits
supply many health-enhancing and disease-preventing
substances, including enzymes, minerals, vitamins,
antioxidants (which protect against cellular deterioration
and prevent diseases, including cancer), and phytonutrients.
Eating plenty of vegetables and fruits can also
help overcome other dietary problems.
|
|
2. WE EAT TOO MUCH SUGAR
|
|
Diabetes and blood sugar problems
caused by eating too much sugar are almost at
epidemic proportions and contribute to many other
diseases as well.
|
|
3. WE SKIP TOO MANY MEALS
|
|
Without regular meals the body must
constantly borrow nutrients from muscles, bones
and vital organs to maintain the proper nutrient
balance in the blood. Skipping a meal and depending
upon stimulants such as coffee, soda, sweets,
or Power Bars to momentarily pump up your blood
sugar creates new and deeper problems.

4. THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS EAT
AN UNBALANCED DIET
|
|
One or more of the three basic foods
(protein, carbohydrates, and fat) is out of balance
in most American's diet. Some eat too little or
too much protein. Some scrupulously avoid fat
and are deficient, whereas others eat it to excess.
But worst of all, as a nation, we eat far too
many carbohydrates, especially processed and fast
food carbs. Excessive carbs can also cause blood
sugar imbalances and slow down our metabolisms,
leading to fatigue and weight gain. Consequently,
a large majority of adults lack energy and/or
are overweight. (from the book, The Diet Cure,
by Juia Ross M.A.)

The weight you lose is MOSTLY WATER, which
was trapped with stored carbohydrates, and eventually
muscle, as it is broken down to produce glucose. Knowing
what carbohydrate you are ingesting is CRITICAL! One
Snickers Bar has the same amount of carbohydrate as
two ounces of pasta! Most people would not eat four
Snickers Bars at one sitting, but, would have no problem
eating eight ounces of pasta!

YOUR STOMACH CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE!
|
|
The worst part is when you go off one
of those "fad" diets and start to eat "regularly," your
body says, "I better store more of this food as fat
in case of another famine"; the fad diet. This process
has become known as the "yo-yo" effect.
|
|
|
BALANCE FOR LIFE will teach you the difference and
help you burn off MORE OF YOUR FAT and less of your
muscle. Our meals contain appropriate nutrient proportions,
adequate protein, heart-healthy fats, and low Glycemic
carbohydrates! After you've completed your cycle, you
will be able to continue this LEANER, HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE
and avoid the dreaded "yo-yo" effect! If you've read
this far, what are you waiting for?
