What Fit People Do To Stay Fit!

I’m sure you will agree that attaining your ideal weight and staying at that weight must be a Lifestyle change not a 3, 6 or 12 month diet program! So what does a healthy lifestyle look like? Someone who lives a healthy lifestyle generally does the following:

1) Chuck the junk - Fit people don’t buy junk, even for family members. In fact, if you want to be a role model for the kids, not having junk in the house is a great start.

2) Prioritize - Put your exercise time in your PDA or calendar. Fit people treat exercise like all other priorities like doctor appointments, business meetings and such. Do the same, and you will not skim out on your workout.

3) STOP when you’re FULL - Learn to read your body and understand when you are biologically hunger and full. If you don’t eat fast and be sure to drinks lots of water throughout the day, this should not be a problem.

4) Challenge yourself - Don’t go on autopilot when you’re at the Gym! Challenge yourself, team up with someone with the same or similar strength and push each other to news levels.

5) Focus on food - Focus on eating when it’s time to eat and don’t “munch” when you are watching your favourite TV show. Mindless eating often ends in overeating.

6) Water, water, water! - Drink lots of water. Water should be your beverage of choice. Many drinks, including juices, offer no more than empty calories. In fact, it’s the fastest way of consuming excess calories.

7) Support is a must - If you have a workout buddy and a supportive family unit, you have a fitting chance of making your exercise a lifestyle choice. If you have a personal trainer and other professional assistance, you’re even further ahead.

Bottom line is it MUST be a lifestyle not a fad. Make the changes, do them one at a time if needed. Master one then move on and it doesn’t need to be in the order mentioned above. There might even be more things you decide you need to change in order to live a healthy lifestyle.

Once you’ve made all the necessary changes, you’ll find that it is not as hard as you thought it would be.

If you don’t have adequate support or are just looking to supplement your support system, call us and we can help you.

Sluggish bowels

Abundance of adipose tissue

Cholesterol medication

Congested liver

Sluggish thyroid

Kidney issues

Candida

Before you know it, you are at your goal/ideal weight. Congratulations!

I’d like to close with the following quote which I hope will inspire you to get to your healthy weight!:

"The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat." Napoleon Hill, 1883-1970, Author

Weight Loss Success Story!

Did you put on a few pounds during the Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend? Well, don’t feel badly, many people are in the same boat as you! That’s why I wanted to share a success storey with all of you this week.

Nancy, started on the program that I represent, administer and provide support for with the hope of becoming a size 6 and now says that she’s so happy to have the program. With the necessary support and education, she has made the lifestyle changes necessary to maintain a healthy weight.

Here is Nancy’s story: “ I’m SO happy!” is the first thing I said to my friend. I couldn’t believe the weight was coming off this easily and steadily without my being hungry or feeling deprived. I had tried to lose weight before, and found it was a real struggle. My job kept reminding me of my weight - I represent a clothing line and my samples are mostly size 6 and size 8 – I couldn’t fit into my own samples. It was getting depressing.

Thanks to the Cinch Inch Loss Plan®, I am 25 lbs lighter and 18.5 inches smaller*. My friends and customers all want to know the secret of my success. It is no secret – it’s the Cinch plan! I now fit into my sample size clothing and couldn’t be happier.

The products taste great – the vanilla shake is my favourite. It is fun to mix in different fruit and flavourings to make a shake that is perfect for me. Even when I travel for work I can bring the shake packets with me to make a quick and healthy meal. The great tasting snack bars and meal-in-a-bar make Cinch even more convenient. Lemon Cranberry is my favourite snack bar – it tastes just like dessert.

My husband is not trying to lose weight, but he has also been enjoying the products and exercise. I had a lot of fun competing with my husband to see who got in their 10,000 steps every day. Even on busy days I managed to squeeze in my walking, even if it is just 15 minutes at a time. I’m starting to see muscle. I have tons of energy and I feel great!

I don't think I'll ever give up having a CINCH shake for breakfast! It is just part of my life now - and I feel great! I am SO happy that I got “Cinched!” I would encourage everyone to just give it a try. You’ll be happy, too!

To your health,
