Myth Busting Fads…
If you are overweight or carrying a few extra kilos, you may already have tried those “fad diets” advertised in magazines and on the internet. However, many of these diets can leave you feeling hungry and slow down your metabolism, making you more likely to suffer from rebound weight gain. This is because these diets frequently focus on low fat foods which are often higher in sugar or carbohydrates and low in protein. You may register weight loss on the scales, but be losing valuable muscle rather than fat. It is important to ensure good muscle mass is maintained during weight loss, as this will promote healthy metabolism and enable you to keep the fat off longterm without that rebound.
The Shake It Professional Weight Management Program can help you successfully lose fat while maintaining muscle. This convenient and simple to follow dietary program will help to keep you feeling full, decrease your appetite and limit those sweet cravings in order to facilitate successful weight loss.

Losing extra body fat with the Shake It Professional Weight Management Program not only brings the benefit of looking good and feeling great, but can also help improve your energy levels, reduce your risk of developing many chronic diseases and encourage healthy ageing.

Six Easy Steps to Looking and Feeling Great
The Shake It Professional Weight Management Program uses a low carbohydrate, moderate protein approach to food intake, which promotes steady and consistent weight loss. The six simple steps of Shake It are:
1. Consume two healthy meals per day consisting of a palm size portion of protein and three handfuls of allowable vegetables. One handful of vegetables may be replaced by an allowable portion of fruit each day.
2. A high protein meal replacement once per day in the form of a shake, soup or bar.
3. Include two low carbohydrate protein snacks per day.
4. Incorporate healthy oils as a part of your daily diet.
5. Aim for 40 minutes of moderate intensity exercise four times per week, or as recommended by your Practitioner.
6. Measure your ketones using Ketostix™ twice daily. Ketones appear in your urine if you are burning fat. By measuring ketone levels every day, you can monitor your fat burning in real time!
Move It to Lose It
Exercise is an integral part of any type of weight loss program. It has a beneficial impact on appetite, and provides long-term health benefits. Under the guidance of your Nutritionist Gold Coast Practitioner, aim for or build up to 40 minutes of moderate intensity exercise, where you are puffing but can still talk, at least four days per week. Activities can include a combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercise such as:
• Walking
• Yoga/Pilates
• Swimming
• Weight bearing exercises
