    I am excited and thrilled.

    Isagenix has just surpassed a product-results milestone.

    We now have 200 members of our 100, 200, and 300 Pound Clubs. That’s a lot of weight released. I know of no other organization that can produce these dramatic results.

    Getting Past the Weight Loss Plateau 

    You may have been working out, eating right, cleansing regularly  and yet the scale hasn’t budged. It’s the dreaded “plateau.”

    It happens, but Isagenix® has the solution!

    Here are 8 ways Isagenix suggests to help you overcome your weight-loss plateau:

    1.    Step Up Your Exercise. Exercise can boost your results ten-fold, especially if it includes weight training. Not only will weight training help you build lean muscle, which helps burn fat, but it can also help strengthen bones. Be sure to consult a health-care professional before starting any exercise program.

    2.    Boost Your Protein Intake. A scoop of our high-quality IsaPro® whey protein from New Zealand along with 1-1½ scoops of IsaLean® Shake may be sufficient to provide an extra boost for supporting weight loss. Protein also helps to keep you feeling satisfied longer.

    3.    Snack Smart. We all snack, right? Just remember to avoid snacking on high-calorie, nutrient-deficient foods. In other words, keep the cake, potato chips and ice cream out of the house. Reach for a serving of SlimCakes®, Isagenix Snacks!™, just a few almonds or even half of an IsaLean Bar.

    4.   Make “Better Bad” Choices. If you’re out at a fast food restaurant and a greasy burger is calling your name, just choose a single-patty with lettuce and tomato and hold the cheese and mayo. Isagenix is all about creating a lifestyle—no one’s perfect. (Just plan your Cleanse Day for the day after your splurge.)

    5.    Fill Up With Fiber. Be sure you are receiving sufficient amounts of dietary fiber daily. Fiber helps to keep you feeling fuller, longer while also keeping your bowel movements regular. Isagenix recommends gradually increasing fiber to 25-30 grams daily, in line with current National Fiber Council recommendations. Isagenix products such as Isagenix FiberPro™ and SlimCakes can help fill fiber gaps. FiberPro is a flavorless fiber supplement that can be added to shakes or any beverage. SlimCakes are a delicious oatmeal berry-flavored cookie containing 5 grams of fiber each.

    6.    Avoid Sugary Drinks. These can add empty calories quickly and zero nutrition. It’s best to drink plenty of purified water and/or nutrient-dense sugar drink alternatives such as IsaFruits® or Want More Energy?® (check out our April deal on Want More Energy?). Make sure to add a pump of IsaWATER™ Alkalized Concentrate to every 8 ounces of water to not only neutralize free radicals, but also give your water a fresher taste.

    7.    Banish Bad Fats. The “bad” includes saturated and trans fats. “Good” fats include olive oil, which is rich in oleic acid, and fish oil, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. To take full advantage of omega-3 fatty acids, it’s best to take a high-potency, high-quality fish oil supplement daily such as IsaOmega Supreme®New research also shows that dietary omega-3 fatty acids may be linked to lower body weight.

    8.    Switch It Up. Sometimes getting into a routine can put your body into neutral. Push it past its boundaries by changing up your routine. Incorporate a 9-Day Cleansing and Fat Burning System every now and then, try new exercises and instead of a slow, steady jog, try a sprint workout instead.

    Isagenix says, “Whatever you do, it’s important that you don’t become discouraged. Forget the number on the scale and pay attention to your body, including the inches you’re shedding, how you feel and the way your clothes are fitting. As you continue to enjoy a reduced-calorie diet, providing your body with quality nutrition, and building muscle through exercise, the weight will come off safely and you’ll be creating a true Nutritional Cleansing and Replenishing way of life.”

    Vitamin D and winter in Northern CO 

    Vitamin D is not in abundance in the winter months, especially along the Front Range, in Northern CO. Experts advise us to supplement with Vitamin D to help protect us from an array of potential medical problems.  Information from a recent seminar  at the University of Toronto, Ontario Canada pertained to the “use of Vitamin D and how it can be used to prevent breast cancer — as well as infectious diseases, type 1 diabetes, hypertension, colon cancer, and falls in the elderly”.

    Here is a quote from the Dr. Mercola newsletter, “Currently, the U.S. RDA for vitamin D is 400 IU (international units) for the majority of the population. (IU is frequently shortened to just “units.”) This dose was recommended to prevent rickets, which works well, but does nothing to give the far more important protection from cancer, heart disease and infections.”

    So when chosing an effective form of Vitamin D what do you do?  According to this article there are 2 different forms.   One is natural and one is synthetic.

    • The natural one is D3 (cholecalciferol), which is the same vitamin D your body makes when exposed to sunshine
    • The synthetic one is vitamin D2, which is sometimes called ergocalciferol

    “Once either form of the vitamin is in your body, it must be converted to a more active form. Vitamin D3 is converted 500 percent faster than vitamin D2, and is clearly a better alternative.”

    Isagenix uses Vit. D3 in its products.  Once again I have found 3rd party information that supports the choices Isagenix makes when formulating their full spectrum products.

    Like many,  I am interested in keeping life simple so I have time to enjoy the things I like most to do.  Since finding out about the Isagenix nutritional supplementation I know I am getting the best supplements for my body.

    Pesticides Predicament 

    There’s no easy way around it.  If you are eating food you are consuming pesticides.

    We always hear about the benefits of organic food, but most of us are not listening!  One-third of all of our fruits and vegetables consumed in the United States are still covered in pesticides.

    Pesticides are poisons!  They are sprayed on fruits and vegetables with the intent to kill pests, but they hurting us too?

    ‘Research shows that some of them – called neurotoxins – can harm our brains and our nervous systems. One recent study found that children with a high level of a certain pesticide had an increased chance of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and developmental disorders similar to autism. Other pesticides, which mimic hormone activity, can possibly reduce fertility. And scientists recently discovered that exposure to one of the most common weed killers increased weight gain in animals by 10%.’

    That’s right!  Eating fruits and vegitable might actually be making you FAT!

    ‘In Seattle recently,  researcher study the effects of  ‘going organic’ and found that this sudden change in diet can immediately affect our health in some very possessive ways. Group participants urine was tested.  These were typical suburban kids just like yours and mine.   Testing found that pesticide levels were above those considered safe by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in ALL of these children. The same kids were then switched to all organic diet.  They still eat all the same foods, but a much healthy version.  The pesticide level in their urine dropped in less than 24 hours. When the children were returned to their regular diets, their pesticide levels shot right back up above the EPA safety limits.’

    Have your whole Family Go Organic!

    http://www.hardygardening.com/images/farmers_market_bounty.jpg

    Remember, fruits and vegetables with thicker rinds such as bananas, oranges, and avocados will have lower levels of pesticides than those with more permeable skin such as potatoes, carrots, apples, pears and strawberries.  Also, try to find seasonal and local produce, which will have a lower pesticide level, because it does not have to travel far to get to your table and CLEANSE regularly.  Regular cleanse can help the body perform as the natural detoxifier it was built to be.

    Let’s face it.  With all the poisons on our tables our bodies can get over whelmed with impurities.  Regular cleansing may help the support the body and promote your good health.

    Is This One Habit Making You Overweight? 

    Bet you will never guess this one smarty pants…That’s right it’s Soda Pop.
    The leading cause prior to soda was reported to be white bread, but has since then been defeated by a new champion…the king of high fructose corn syrup. According to recent studies, soda is now the number one source of calories in America.  The reported diets of a vast nationwide sample of American adults were carefully studied by researchers. Among the participants of the 1999-2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)
    More than two-thirds reported drinking enough soda or sweet drinks to supply them with a greater proportion of daily calories than any other food.
    Those who consumed sweet drinks had higher obesity rates.
    By identifying the leading sources of excess energy in the American diet, researchers are hopeful that the findings may enrich the establishment of needed strategies to battle obesity and further contribute to fat loss.

    Additional Supporting Evidence:
    There are more strikes against soda and sweet drinks than the above documented research. According to the American Dietetic Association, trusting on a Coca-Cola to quench your thirst cravings could waste a great amount of your daily calorie allotment.
    Did you know that most adults need 1,600 up to 2,400 calories daily and the average 64-ounce “Big Gulp” non-diet sweet drink that you can purchase at your local 7-11 store can score up to a whopping 800 calories in just one serving.
    So what room does that leave for nutrient-rich foods that your body craves? Very little.
    The saddest part of this eye opening article about America’s health is tragic to say the least because eliminate soda from your diet could be one of the easiest and most convenient ‘poisons’ to eliminate from your diet.
    The refreshing taste that soda gives is not so refreshing after all and the sugar content from the high-fructose modified corn syrup will annihilate your insulin and leptin levels which greatly reduces your chance of achieving optimal and exceptional health.
    Other conditions related to soft drink intake include:
    * Osteoporosis
    * Attention deficit disorder (ADD)
    * Insomnia
    * Kidney stones
    * Tooth decay
    And one of the most damaging factors may be that it’s creating overweight Americans. Check out this alarming fact…The risk of obesity rises an alarming 60 percent for each can of cola you devour each day, and it’s also may be lowering the average age of death in America to a number in years so low that your kids will be dying at a younger age than you do for the first time in history.
    Luckily you are now aware and it’s never too late. One of the most important steps you could take now is to be quit drinking that soda and switch to a pure source of water. Good ice cold water!

    Be aware that soda can be quite addictive just like a cigarette to a smoker, so be caution when eliminating the big gulp altogether. A great support system may be necessary so you might want to recruit your family and friend to keep you accountable or better yet, do it with you. Hope this helps!
