Control Cravings for Wrong Food Types & Lose the Spare Tire
During special occasions, people often over-indulge in the types of foods that spike their blood sugar, raise their insulin, and pack on pounds around their waist. Waist size has been shown to be a marker for "metabolic syndrome:" the body responds to spiking blood sugar with more carbohydrate cravings, becomes resistant to insulin, stores extra fat, raises unhealthy cholesterol, and becomes inflamed. (see the Fall 2008 edition of The Less Painful Times for more on this topic).
There is a simple way to recover your balance of healthy eating and rid yourself of cravings for the wrong foods. USANA offers a 5 day cleanse called RESET that cleanses your bowel and resets your metabolism, so you no longer crave carbohydrates. Generally, people will lose a few pounds with this easy-to-follow regimen of shakes, bars, and vitamins. Then, if necessary, you can follow it up with the Phase 2 or Phase 3 program for continued weight loss. There is DVD in the RESET kit that explains the program.
When you are done with the initial 5-day cleanse, most people report that they enjoy making healthier choices: fewer sugars, fewer carbohydrates, and smaller portions. Their metabolism has been RESET, their appetite has been RESET and they are ready to RESET their health as well.
This system is the start of healthier eating habits and it trains your body to recognize what it needs. Not only do people lose the weight, they lower their blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol through healthy, low-glycemic eating.
You can RESET your metabolism using REAL FOODS, too. But you must be meticulous about following a low glycemic menu. The prepackaged foods just make it more convenient and therefore it is easier to be successful with the plan. |
Our appetites have been sabotaged by processed foods that are designed to make us overeat.
