LIGHTEN-UP!
Weight Management
Programme
Successful weight management is not just about dieting or
even discipline. It is about changing your behaviour.
Taking a meal replacement or nutritional supplements without
changing your diet and lifestyle is not enough to ensure that
you will lose weight. In order to lose weight, you must
consistently burn more calories than you take in. Equally
important is to maintain good nutrition choosing a varied and
balanced diet, to help your body maintain health, strength and
energy.
Almost everyone would agree that fad diets for quick weight
loss almost never result in permanent weight loss.
Our Lighten-Up! Nutritional Weight
Management Programme, when combined with exercise and a healthy
diet, can be a key to your new lifestyle of life-long successful
and healthy weight management.
Lighten-Up! Nutritional Protein Drink Mix
Our new drink mix is packed with natural source ingredients
to provide efficient, balanced nutrition to help maintain health
and energy while making the lifestyle changes needed for
successful lifelong weight management.
Key Ingredients:
Natural CoQ10: CoQ10 assists in the
production of energy by the cells, thereby playing an important
role in energy metabolism within the body. It also contributes
to the efficient functioning of the immune system and helps
maintain heart health.
Alpha Lipoic Acid: Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)
plays a role in fat metabolism, acting as a co-factor for energy
production. As both water-soluble and a fat-soluble antioxidant,
it provides internal cell protection and cell membrane
(external) protection against damage caused by harmful free
radicals. ALA also impacts on glucose metabolism.
Siberian Ginseng: Siberian Ginseng is
considered an ‘adaptogen’ because it helps the body adapt to
changing circumstances. The use of this herb dates back about
2000 years and it has been used widely to help maintain optimal
stamina, support physical and mental well-being and to maintain
feelings of energy and vitality.
Organic Almonds: for many years almonds were
considered ‘fattening’. However, studies indicate that those who
include nuts, such as almonds, in their diet tend to have lower
body mass indexes. Although almonds are high in fat and
calories, the protein (about 18%) and fibre content may help you
feel fuller for longer and so eating them in moderation when
following a restricted diet may aid weight loss.
Almonds, when eaten as part of a diet low in saturated fat,
may also contribute to heart health by helping to maintain
normal cholesterol levels.
Organic Quinoa: Quinoa is a high protein
seed that is used as a grain. It is recognised widely as a good
source of a complete protein. It also provides a range of other
important nutrients such as fibre and slow-releasing
carbohydrates that help to maintain blood sugar levels and help
keep you feeling fuller for longer.
L – Carnitine: L – Carnitine plays an
important role in fat metabolism. It is the amino acid that
carries fat molecules through the cell walls where they can then
be utilised to produce energy.
Lighten-Up! provides the vital trace mineral
Chromium. It plays a vital role in the
metabolism of glucose in the body and is important for normal
carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism.
Enzymes, vital to digestion are also
included, ensuring the essential nutrients in this protein drink
are easily digested and absorbed by those of all ages.
Lighten-Up! provides useful nutritional insurance for those
recovering from illness or unable to eat solid food.
