Questions about How to Lose Weight

How to lose weight quickly?

It’s easy

• Formula 1 Nutritional Shake x 2 per day replacing 2 meals
• 2 x snacks per day (1 Protein Bar and 1 piece of fruit)
• 1 colourful meal per day
• 1 glass of water every hour

How to lose weight fast?

For even faster results; add NRG Guarana Pills 1 or 2 times a day, Chitosan Fibre Fat Blocker with every meal, and Thermogenic Instant Herbal Beverage throughout the day. Other amazing weightloss options are Aloe Drink twice a day,  and Cell U Loss which can help with Water Retention

What are foods that will help you lose weight?

Foods rich in protein are hunger buster foods – they take longer to digest so have a higher Thermogenesis rating – ie your body uses more energy to digest protein plus they keep you feeling fuller for longer. Formula 1 Nutritional Shakes contain Aminogen – a naturally derived ingredient which helps your body break down food protein into free form amino acids. They also contain 9g of protein per serve. With low fat milk it makes a 30g protein meal.

Will water help me to lose weight?

Yes. You should drink a glass of water every hour. Drinking plenty of water is an important part of maintaining a healthy weight and a nutritious diet. Water plays an essential role in helping your body process nutrients, maintain normal circulation and keep the proper balance of fluids.

My body retains water – how can I lose water retention?

The more water you drink the better actually – your body holds onto water when it doesn’t have enough. An excellent herbal supplement to balance your water retention is Cell-U-Loss. If you are de-hydrated your body will retain water. Once you start losing weight water is released from fat cells which are breaking down – so if your body is de-hydrated your body may hold this released water. So drink at least 2L a day.

Can I lose weight without the Formula One Shakes?

The programs are designed to help you replace two meals a day which means you don’t have to worry about controlling or limited (or recording) the number of calories you eat for those two meals – this takes the guess work out of dieting  - plus these Weight Loss Programmes are scientifiacally proven and developed by leading doctors and scientists.

Questions about Ideal Weight

How can I work out my ideal weight?

Ideal weight depends on lots of things, your build, your genetics, etc – but as a rule of thumb BMI or Body Mass Index is a great guide.

The formula is used to determine the amount of body fat you carry. The formula is your weight divided by your height in meters, squared (BMI = kg/m2). BMI can be used to indicate if you are overweight, obese, underweight or normal. Contact me if you need yours calculated for free. I’ll need your height and weight.

Using your BMI results as a starting point, I can create a personalized approach to healthier living through our science-based nutrition and weight-management products.

• Below 20 = slender-lean
• 20 to 25 = ideal weight range
• 25-30 = overweight (25-27 could be healthy range if large-boned and heavily muscled)
• 30 and above = very overweight / high risk
• 40 and above = extremely overweight / high risk for health complications

What are the health risks of being overweight?

Being overweight or obese puts you at increased risk of developing certain medical conditions associated with obesity.These include:

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Cardiovascular Disease (heart disease, stroke etc)
• Adult-Onset Diabetes (Type II Diabetes)
• Sleep Apnoea (difficulty breathing during sleep)
• Osteoarthritis (degenerative arthritis or degenerative joint disease)
• Female Infertility
• Depression, low self esteem and other psychological conditions
• Some types of cancers

How many calories should I eat to lose weight?

This depends on your gender and height. I can calculate your BMI (as above) and then allocate you a meal plan accordingly incorporating one of our Weight Loss Programmes. That way you don’t even have to think about it – let alone count calories! You can choose food you enjoy for your 3rd meal of the day and have a delicious smoothie for the other 2.

As a rule of thumb females will generally lose weight eating 1200 calories a day, and males 1500. You should never eat less than 1200 calories as this will slow your Metabolism down.

Our Programmes are designed to Kickstart your Metabolism and keep it revved up.
