Every day we hear or read about how excess weight has been associated with a number of health problems, including cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, certain types of cancer, joint disorders, and increased inflammation. With nearly two thirds of American adults qualifying as being overweight or obese, obesity has become an epidemic problem in the United States. Dietary intake, along with activity level, is by far the most influential factor in weight management. However, daily stress, inadequate sleep, and alcohol consumption are other important lifestyle factors that can directly influence your health status.

Look at the Body Mass Index (BMI) graph on the adjacent page and mark your current value. If you fall within the overweight or obese zones, your risk for developing chronic disease or morbidity increases, and the longer you stay in these zones, the greater the risk.

Do it for 30 days if you only have 12 to 15 pounds of fat to lose or do it several times over if you have greater weight loss goals.

CONTRACT FOR SUCCESS

The most important part of this program is your commitment to the process. When first starting a weight loss program, many people initially feel enthusiastic and dedicated to becoming a leaner, healthier, more vital person. However, this process is not a sprint but a marathon. Many people begin to feel restricted by the food choices or disheartened because they do not immediately lose a lot of weight. At these times, it is important to remember why you first decided to dedicate yourself to this process. There are many reasons people choose to improve their body composition. What are your reasons?

Reduce my “fat” weight

Reduce my risk of diabetes

Lower my blood pressure

Lower my cholesterol and/or triglycerides

Improve my self-image

Reduce my waist circumference

Feel more energetic and vital

Look and feel great

Do activities that my current weight status limits (e.g. playing tennis)

Other: _____________________________________________________

The items you checked above are the goals that will help you motivate you during those discouraging times. Remember that we are helping you take the initial step on the path of healthy living. Share your goals with a friend or family member who will be encouraging and supportive.

KEYS FOR SUCCESS

Eat high-quality, nutritious food. Weight loss is not simply about cutting calories. This program will emphasize foods that provide high biological value proteins, healthy fats, and quality carbohydrates that are high in dietary fiber and have a low glycemic index.

Stay hydrated. Adequate fluid intake is essential to maintain cellular health and promote cardiovascular wellness. Consuming adequate fluids can also regulate hunger mechanisms to support appetite control. Unfortunately, many Americans choose to consume beverages loaded with calories, sugar, and artificial sweeteners that can actually promote weight gain. This program will focus on staying hydrated through calorie-free water and unsweetened tea.

Eat healthy and often. Skipping meals can actually slow your metabolism and lead to overeating. By consuming small meals and snacks throughout the day, you will balance your blood sugar and help prevent cravings.

Get adequate rest and sleep. Getting the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep per night is essential for the health of all body systems and maintaining energy levels. Lack of sleep can also influence body weight by interfering with the hormonal signals that control appetite and fat storage.

NUTRITION SUPPLEMENTATION

Meal Supplement Formulas

The BioGenesis UltraLean Program encourages patients to focus on fresh, nutritious foods. However, we understand that busy schedules can make it difficult to always consume foods balanced in protein, fats, and carbohydrates. A healthy meal supplement can help you get adequate nutrition while supporting appetite control and a healthier body composition.

UltraLean: A functional food powdered nutritional beverage that provides both macro-and micronutrients for individuals who want to improve body composition and lose or maintain weight. UltraLean Body Composition features specialty nutrients to help promote blood sugar control and efficient fat metabolism.

Fiber

Dietary fiber has numerous health benefits, including supporting gastrointestinal health, weight management, detoxification, and blood sugar control. Recommended average daily fiber consumption is 25-30 grams per day. Unfortunately, many Americans take in much less than that. Fiber can promote satiety and help keep blood sugar levels stable, making it a great addition to any weight management program.

Ultra Fiber Plus: Powdered blend of soluble and insoluble fiber with 15 million Lactobacillus acidophilus organisms per serving.

BioLax: An encapsulated combination of highly viscous soluble fibers.

Blood Sugar and Appetite Control

Keeping blood sugar levels stable is an important part of weight management and appetite control. Your healthcare practitioner may also recommend you incorporate supplements that provide key nutrients to support insulin activity and balance blood sugar levels.

UltraLean Appetite Control: Non-stimulant adjunctive weight loss support supplement that decreases appetite and blood sugar metabolism.

Ultra Low-Carb Bars provides great taste and a unique nutritional profile that promotes healthy body composition.

EXERCISE MATTERS

While many factors contribute to weight management, maintaining a negative energy balance may be the most important. Energy balance refers to burning more calories than are being taken in. Your body burns a certain number of calories performing the basic tasks needed to maintain life, such as breathing, thinking, digesting, maintaining body temperature, etc. This is referred to as the basal metabolic rate (BMR) and is the number of calories you would burn daily if you were to remain sedentary. There are different tools for determining your BMR. However, to determine an approximate value, try using the formulas below:

Women: BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) – (4.7 x age in years)

Men: BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) – (6.8 x age in years)

Outside of your BMR, any calories you burn throughout the day are the result of your own physical activity. This is why regular exercise is critical to any weight loss plan.

There are two main forms of exercise, aerobic and anaerobic, both of which are essential for weight loss and maintenance.

Cardiovascular/Aerobic

Aerobic training can burn high numbers of calories, making it a critical component of a weight management program. Aim to incorporate thirty-minute sessions of aerobic exercise into your physical activity program. This form of exercise calls on the function of the heart and respiratory system and performing these activities is necessary to protect and preserve these body systems.

Try running/jogging/pace walking, tennis, football, aerobics, skiing, stair climbing, dancing, kickboxing, basketball, hiking, elliptical machines, swimming, soccer or bike riding.

Resistance Training

Using light weight or bands can tone muscles and build body strength as well as protect bones and joints. Increasing lean body mass can also increase the number of calories your body burns at rest. Weight-bearing activities that rely on the weight of your own body, such as yoga, can also help build muscle and improve balance.

CONTROLLING STRESS RESPONSE

When the body is experiencing stress, the sympathetic nervous system works to induce the “fight or flight” response. This results in increased heart rate, elevated body temperature, and constriction of blood vessels, all of which influence heart rate and blood pressure. Long-term stress can also lead the body to produce excessive amounts of cortisol, (the “stress hormone”), which can cause increased insulin resistance and the accumulation of abdominal fat. In addition, many individuals use food for “feeling good” during stressful times, particularly high-carbohydrate foods which encourage weight gain.

TIPS FOR HANDLING STRESS

Take slow, deep breaths and count to ten. Deep breathing allows oxygen to enter your system for healthy circulation. It also allows times to regain your composure.

Exercise. Moderate to intense exercise releases endorphins, “feel good” chemicals that have mood-enhancing capabilities. Rhythmic and repetitive activities, such as jogging or swimming, can regulate brain activity and can facilitate problem solving.

Meditate. The induction of a deeply relaxed state can led to a more tranquil state of mind. Meditation does not have to be complicated. Simply taking a few moments to breathe and relax can be very beneficial.

Know your limits. Many people feel stress due to overwhelming demands placed by the workplace, family, or even themselves. Knowing when to say “no” or delegating tasks is an important part of stress management.

Laugh. Giggling can reduce levels of stress hormones such as epinephrine (adrenaline) and cortisol. It also work to increase endorphins and improves the antibody activity of T cells to improve immunity.

Know when to ask for help. If you feel as if you are unable to manage your stress on your own, know when to turn to others. Speaking with a loved one or even a professional about what is worrying you can offer relief.
