You can use the following to assist you with weight loss:

• Before each meal, take 1 teaspoon Invisible Fibre
• Take 2 capsules of HCA  and Chromium and/or Weight Loss facilitator with breakfast, lunch and supper.
• Take 2-3 capsules Omegaderm daily

• If your thyroid is sluggish, take 3 capsules Thyroid Support Formula first thing in the morning

• Drink at least 2-3 cups green tea daily.
• Beauty Shake or Super Nutrient Shake can be used as a meal replacement or healthy in-between snack
• Minimize consumption of foods cooked at high temperatures.
• Consume most calories early in the day (avoid late-night snacking).
• Reduce intake of high glycemic foods (breads, pasta, potatoes, fruit juices, sugary snacks).
• Remember, every meal or snack must include: protein, low-glycemic carbs, AND essential fatty acids.
• Reduce intake of saturated fats such as those found in beef and butter, and increase consumption of foods rich in omega-3

fats, such as fish.

• Always eat your protein first. Why? Because by eating your protein first at every meal, you are helping to suppress your appetite. Proteins are digested much more slowly than carbohydrates—even carbohydrates that are high in fibre. Also, protein is neutral in terms of its effect on blood sugar.
• Save the fresh fruit for the end of the meal. This way, you will prevent the natural sugars found in the fruit from causing a spike in blood sugar. Our goal is to avoid spikes in blood sugar, which trigger insulin release. Remember this fact: insulin release = stored fat!
• Increase consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables
• Exercise for 30 mins daily, or at least 3-4 times weekly

You can also use Naturally High or 5HTP to help stabilise moods and prevent emotional eating as well as food cravings.

Dr Nicholas Perricone’s Recommendations:

In order for any weight-loss program to 1) work, and 2) become a lifelong lifestyle, there have to be plenty of options available. If you feel hungry or deprived, you are on the wrong program.
