Wow, more and more of us are reaching weight and fitness goals through Shaklee's marvelous 180 program.  Quite simply, it's built on 90 days to lose the weight (The Turnaround Kit) and another 90 to learn how to keep it off (The Lean and Healthy Kit).  The magic?  The Leucine (amino acid) helps to protect your muscle as you lose the fat.  

If you've ever tried diets,  you know the pitfalls.  The big one is that the weight loss doesn't stay off.  On the Shaklee 180, you lose almost all fat instead of maybe 40% muscle and 60% fat.  Once you start to lose muscle, your metabolic rate (calorie burning) goes down.  It gets harder and harder to lose weight.  You go off of the diet, gain weight - and the dreaded yo-yo continues.

The success stories coming from the many who've tried Shaklee 180 are about losing and keeping it off.  Check your catalog or go on line to see some of the men and women who're happy with their weight and with the new tools they've incorporated into their lives.  They're woven through the Shaklee 180 section, starting on page 14.

How about me?  Over the last 13 or 14 years, I've lost about 20 pounds.  My goal is to gain muscle and strengthen bone by combining frequent exercise with a Shaklee 180 breakfast every day.  So I am on the Lean and Healthy program.  In addition, I have two regular, nutritious meals a day and sometimes an Energizing Tea or a Snack Bar between meals, especially on a day when dinner is going to be late or I'm especially active.

Want to lose weight?  Try the Turnaround Kit, which includes Smoothee mixes for 2 meals a day plus a Meal-in-a-Bar alternative.  There are 5 kinds of Smoothee mixes plus a Whey Vanilla.  There are 2 kinds of Meal-in-a-Bars, Blueberry Almond Crisp and Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chip.  The kit also contains Energizing Tea in Green or Pomegranate and/or Snack Bars in 4 flavors for between meals as well as Metabolic Boost.  It which helps with metabolism to keep your energy up and with balancing blood sugar.

If you have very little to lose or , like me, want to concentrate on building a healthier body, then try the Lean and Healthy Kit.  It gives you one Smoothee a day plus 30 Vitalizer strips.  Each strip has over 80 bio-optimized nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, Omega-3s and healthy probiotics.  Questions?  Call or email me.
