How I Got My Body Primed To Do It

Healthy weight loss is not merely starving your body of calories as that only causes other parts of your body to become stressed, including putting your metabolism on alert that you are "starving," thus slowing it down.

The key to healthy weight loss is providing your body with the optimum nutrients it need to lose weight. Kind of like taking your car in for servicing to make sure that it is going to run at it's optimum levels. When your body is running at it's optimum levels, it can then flush the excess weight out of your system more easily while still allowing you to feel energized.

Being someone who has lost a lot of excess weight after having my son, I can tell you that it took me a long time to figure out how to do it and keep it off. I had tried many diets and lost weight only to gain it back again. I spent a great deal of time studying nutrition to understand what the body actually needs to lose weight, and keep it off while not causing it harm such as overdosing on caffeine, Ephedra (Ma Huang) and other types of stimulants that may cause more harm than good.

Being someone who generally dislikes exercise and has a very full schedule I needed to find things that were quick and easy and not a part of some fad diet that would deplete my energy levels during the day. Because of my busy life, I needed all the energy I could get and when trying diets I found I was easily fatigued and actually felt weak. I also found that they were hard to do since I don't like cooking very much and I don't like having to think about a bunch of details about counting calories, fat, vitamins, points, carbs, etc. Diets that made me write stuff down and spend a lot of time calculating or cooking were not going to work for me because I knew I would not be able to keep it up long term.

Isn't that what we are really are talking about here... long term, because anyone who had lost weight and kept it off knows that it is a lifestyle change not a diet that will be the winning ticket. So, I struggled for a few years until I found something that I could do everyday with little effort.

I was chatting with my friend (Kary Bennett) who is a nutritionist and was telling her my struggle. I told her that I was really frustrated and did not know what to do. I had tried prescription medication- Phentermine, and even took an Asian Cooking Class, and while those things helped, I still could not figure out how to consistently follow a routine that would ensure my body was getting all the nutrients it needed to optimize weight loss, feel energized and keep it off while making it easy. That's when she introduced me to a company that has a really healthy and easy weight loss system.

Intrigued, I asked her more... I mean, considering that she spent her entire career studying nutrition I wanted to get her inside view into why she thought this company was a good one and had quality products. She told me that this company (Oasis) was a true leader in the field of health because they use the highest quality raw materials from their own farms and forests around the world. They also test the ingredients and formulas at the DNA level - a process called Genomics. Currently, no other natural products company uses Genomics to test its products. I was impressed, after all it seems that there are so many companies that throw things together and never test them, let alone at the DNA level!

When I look at the diet foods out there I have to think that most companies take us for complete idiots. Look at the ingredients in a SlimFast drink or bar... the 1st 4 ingredients are skim milk, sugar, fructose and cocoa, in other words: milk, sugar, sugar and chocolate. Honestly, I can't think of much worse other than eating a bunch of lard on a high protein diet!

When you look for a health drink, health bar or other diet product make sure you look at what they are really serving you. If it's like most out there you might as well just have a snickers bar because it's basically the same ingredients! Certainly these sugar based "diet" products are not going to give you the fuel your body needs to keep going strong during and after weight loss. The high protein/low carb products are not much better.

If you drink or eat something that is high in sugar, you are going to be hungry and that leads to any easy failure on your diet. It is important to find something that tastes good and has no refined sugar, corn syrup or fructose.

I got the Oasis weight loss products called Inthinity (it has no sugar, instead it uses Stevia to sweeten) and I am not kidding you when I say that within 10 minutes of drinking my first morning shake I really began to feel good. It was like my body was saying "Geeze, chick it's about time!" It also makes you feel full just like a meal and that to me is also impressive.

If you are like me, your day consists of energy peaks and valleys as you battle with hunger, cravings, and fatigue but this shake- MetaFuel has a time-released energy system that keeps you within your ideal energy zone to help you feel invigorated and satisfied. I felt great all day.

It is a delicious meal replacement beverage that provides an ideal protein to carbohydrate ratio. It's a nutritional powerhouse designed specifically for the metabolic needs of your body, making it a complete "meal in a glass" with zero saturated fat. I love them, they are so delicious too, my hubby drinks them too because they are not only good for weight loss, but just for keeping the body in good shape regardless of weight.

The next week, I got the supplements MetaPower And MetaBurn. They really made a difference as well. MetaPower helps to maintain the ideal balance of essential fats to optimize fat-burning and energy production.

It is now known that a critical balance of essential fats in your diet dramatically influences whether your body burns or stores fat. MetaPower helps to maintain this critical balance to access stored fat to create energy. The result is a leaner, more invigorated body. MetaPower ingredients have been shown to contribute to better brain function, immune support, and healthier looking skin. I can say that I do feel sharper in my ability to concentrate and my skin is not dry even when I skip lotion. Living in arid Colorado, that is saying a lot!

MetaBurn contains all-natural ingredients that support fat-burning without harmful side effects. Whether the fat is concentrated on your thighs, hips or abdomen, MetaBurn can assist your body in reducing fat. It is the ultimate fat-loss energizer, without Ma Huang or Ephedra - so you won't experience an increase in heart rate or feel agitated.

Exercise-

I also began walking my dog in the morning for 45 minutes and found that it too helped me to feel more energized and provided a good means of exercise for both my dog and myself. I got an exercise bike as well so that on rainy or snowy days there is no reason why I can't have some exercise.

What ended up happening was that I began to feel so good, that I actually looked for ways to exercise from hikes, to swimming and more. I felt wonderful and for the first time in my life really felt fantastic physically.

Why Am I Sharing All This With You Now?

Guilt... as I continued to lose weight and feel so wonderful I began to feel guilty that I was not telling people about this in our newsletter. I always like to share things that really work well and are great products so I began to look into how I could make them easy for people to get because the Oasis products are hard to find in stores.

I called Oasis and found that they had a very rigid retailer program that made me jump several hoops to carry their products and required we pay near retail prices for them to have them on our web sites. I did not care so much about making money on these products, I just wanted you to know about them and make them easy for you to acquire.

I am happy to report, I finally got permission and I added them to our site just this week. There are a lot more products that they carry and I will be adding them all. I did make sure to add all the products that I use to the site this week, because I can personally vouch for them and wanted to make them available.
