Popular diet secrets create unrealistic expectations and set you up to fail when you revert to a normal lifestyle!

Here’s why diet secrets can make you Fat… there are no diet secrets! Those magazines that you read about some skinny celebrity getting her pre-baby body back three minutes after giving birth are not real life! The diet secret is that they have the money and resources to use personal trainers 7 days a week, have access to nutritionists, cooks, cleaners, personal assistants and nannies. For the rest of us, the reality is that our best diet secrets are “Don’t eat chocolate at 3am” or “Weigh yourself when the moon is full”. Doctor Oz says that diet fads don’t work, so why would you waste your time with a quick fix?

The Real Diet Secrets

It’s all about what you do day to day. DO NOT DIET. Dieting does not work. Dieting can make you lose weight but without a permanent lifestyle change, the weight just goes back on when you revert to your normal “cake and wine” lifestyle. Worse, because you’ve starved yourself, your body hoards fat in case it gets starved again! Every time you crash diet, your body tries to hoard more and more energy, so you end up bigger than ever. So what do you do?

Create a New Normal

Obviously, your old “normal lifestyle” wasn’t working, so what you need to do is create a “New Normal”. For a healthy life, that means regular exercise, clean food and cutting back on all the bad stuff like binge drinking, drugs, cigarettes and 3am chocolate. Commit to the idea of living in a different way. What I’m saying is don’t rush out, run 10 miles and have a bowl of lettuce for dinner. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Get used to the idea of change, get excited about it, make plans and then act… slowly and with good information.

Find a form of exercise you can do at least three times a week that you enjoy. If you hate it, it won’t last. My Wife has been doing bootcamps to lose her baby weight and loves it, so maybe try that? If you’d rather train alone, maybe you could walk or swim? Find something that you enjoy enough to do regularly. If the first activity doesn’t work out, try something else. Don’t give up too easily!

Find your own Diet Secrets

It’s the same with food. Find food that is healthy and enjoyable. You can lose weight on diet shakes, but who wants to live on them!? If you don’t know much about nutrition, find some reliable sources and learn enough to make the right choices. Don’t fall into the diet secrets trap of cheating by eating foods that you know aren’t a healthy or balanced way to eat because they have only X calories.

If you’re unsure about how much you should eat, try an App called MyFitnessPal. You can add your friends to your account to see what they eat. It’s a fun/easy way to count calories and it will track your progress.

Try to eat clean, fresh food, not processed or pre-packaged food. Drink lots of water. The most important thing is that whatever you do to lose weight has to be something you can do permanently. If you can’t, the weight will go back on anyway.

I hope that these tips help dispel the diet secrets myth. Dieting short cuts only lead to disappointment. Go for it – you can do it!

In order to maximise your efforts, there are a few nutrition tips we should follow. These will help accelerate fat loss and provide you with life-long benefits. It also will increase your energy levels and you’ll find it easier to be more physically active.

A healthy diet is the key to a healthy body. Here are some simple things you can do to improve your diet;

Never skip breakfast

When you eat breakfast, your body feels nourished and satisfied, making you less likely to overeat the rest of the day. Start your day with a high-protein, low-carbohydrate breakfast. Protein is the nutrient that builds calorie-consuming muscle.

Avoid high GI foods

Avoid high-glycemic foods, such as sugar, pasta, white rice, and white flour. The glycemic index rates how quickly certain foods turn into glucose (a form of sugar) in the bloodstream. Choosing foods low on the glycemic index will not only help to control your weight by curbing your appetite, it will also help to control cholesterol, maintain a healthy heart and decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Eat three balanced meals

Eat three balanced meals each day. Avoid snacking and don’t eat after dinner. Eating regularly reassures your body that food is plentiful. This encourages your body to burn calories. If you skip meals, your body thinks you’re in famine and reacts by reducing your metabolism, which makes it difficult to shed weight.

Keep a food diary

Keep a food diary. Self-monitoring is one of the secrets to fat-loss. By self-monitoring we mean keeping a detailed and accurate daily record of the food and drink you have consumed. The most important reason to keep a food diary is often overlooked. It’s so easy to go through an entire day, mindlessly eating without giving a second thought to what you may be putting in your mouth. A food diary makes you stop, at least once a day, and pay attention to what you eat. The simple act of recounting your daily intake is often all that is needed to initiate change in your own eating habits, it a good way of making you accountable.

Drink more water

Stay hydrated. Make an effort to reduce your intake of unhealthy beverages, especially alcohol, high sugar cola and sodas (including diet soda!). Drinking more water will help your system remove waste and fat more efficiently.

Keep moving

You don’t need to adopt an aggressive exercise routine; just increase your physical activity throughout your day. Take the stairs instead of the lift, walk to the store, walk the dog. If you like to swim get to the local pool! Start your new routine slowly and build up to give your body time to adjust. Taking SLIM will help improve your energy levels so you should find exercising much easier!

As we eat our bodies convert our food into glucose, a simple sugar that travels through our bloodstream. Glucose is the primary food for our cells, wheather its muscle, brain or heart they all feed on glucose.

As glucose moves through our bloodstream the pancreas releases insulin, insulin is the ‘gate keeper’ of our cells. It opens the door allowing glucose to be used for our energy needs. Without insulin our cells cant be fed. If you eat more than you need, the excess glucose is stored as fat cells or FFA (free fatty acids). Once glucose has been removed from the bloodstream insulin closes the doors to our cells and slowly leaves our body.

When our body needs more energy or glucose, it turns to the FFAs (free fatty acids). The free fatty acids go right back into the bloodstream to feed our cells, they dont need insulin to open the cell doors, thats why they are referred to as free fatty acids. This natural process of storing fat when you have too much glucose and burning fat when you don’t have enough glucose is how your body was designed to work. In a perfect world, eating a perfect diet, everything works perfectly.

Unfortunatley we don’t live in a perfect world, and most of us dont come close to eating a perfect diet. As a result we don’t benefit from this natural process very often. Instead we suffer by storing too much fat, and rarely if ever burning any.

There is a way to break this cycle, Bios Life Slim. A simple, natural way to restore our bodys natural fat burning process. If you are in a hurry to lose that excess fat and want to accelerate your success with Bios Life Slim. We suggest five simple adjustments that you can start today;

1. Take SLIM twice a day before your 2 largest meals – This will help get your body back into fat burning mode, naturally.

2. To get the weight off and keep it off, you’ll need to incorporate SLIM into your everyday meal routine and change your eating and exercise habits. Healthy eating should include fruits, vegetables and lean meat/proteins in your meals. try to cut down on the starches like rice, cereals and breads. If you eat grains, make sure they are whole grains. Avoid juices, alcohol, sugary drinks and desserts.

3. Begin and commit to an exercise program that suits your lifestyle and personality. If you have a dog, it can be something as easy as walking the dog at least 3 times a week. If you like to swim get to the local pool! Start your new routine slowly and build up to give your body time to adjust. Taking SLIM will help improve your energy levels so you should find exercising much easier!

4. Drink lots of water. Drinking a glass of water when you feel like eating is a good way to curb that hungry feeling, while rehydrating your body. Keeping hydrated is also key to using SLIM, this will help flush it through your system.

5. Don’t read or watch TV while eating. You won’t be aware of how much you are eating. Slowing down to focus and enjoy your food at mealtimes will mean you won’t shift to auto pilot eating, it will aslo mean you digest your food more effectively.

BIOS LIFE® SLIM™ Six Mechanisms to Being Slim

1. Bios Life Slim™ Reduces Your Appetite

Bios Life Slim’s active ingredient is a patented fibre matrix.The fibre forms a soft gel in your stomach which creates a feeling of ‘fullness’. This full feeling helps to reduce appetite and prevents overeating. When taken before a meal it slows absorption of the food you eat. This simple concept will help you to feel full sooner and eat less.

“I think the most significant thing about Bios Life Slim—besides the wonderful weight loss—is the fact that I don’t have those evening cravings. Being able to eat a modest dinner and then not thinking about food is just amazing to me.”
Jennifer Birge, MS, RD, CDE – Registered Dietitian/Diabetes Educator

2. Bios Life Slim™ Absorbs and Removes Fat

The patented fiber matrix in Bios Life Slim binds with fat from the food you eat. This reduces the amount of fat being absorbed by your body – and safely removes it from your system.

3. Bios Life Slim™ Promotes Your Body’s Fat Burning Ability

Taking Bios life Slim before a meal slows the rate glucose that is released into your bloodstream, which in turn reduces the amount of insulin the body requires. With lower insulin levels your body enters a “Fat Burning Zone” that allows you to burn the fat stored in your fat cells.

“Being able to reduce body size, reduce blood lipids, and reduce blood glucose…Bios Life Slim is a complete package for my patients with diabetes.”
Judy Gilman, RN, FNP-BC, CDE – Family Nurse Practitioner/Diabetes Educator

4. Bios Life Slim™ Decreases Leptin Resistance

Leptin is one of the communication links between your fat cells and your brain. When working properly, the brain stops craving food when it senses adequate leptin in the body. After taking Bios Life Slim regularly your fat cells and brain begin to communicate again, reducing cravings and appetite, increasing energy and ultimately leading to fat loss.

“What makes Bios Life Slim unique is its ability to lower leptin resistance. This is not found in any other product”.
William R. Work MD, ABFP, ABAARM – Family Medicine/Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine

5. Bios Life Slim™ Lowers Your Triglycerides

Triglycerides are a type of fat found in your blood. High triglyceride levels increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and obesity. Bios Life Slim has been clinically proven to reduce triglyceride levels by an average of 40 percent in just 60 days. What’s more, recent studies indicate that high triglyceride levels can block leptin from reaching the brain. By reducing trilyceride levels, leptin is able to cross into the brain and your body then gets the signal to stop storing and to start burning fat.

6. Bios Life Slim™ Improves Your Cholesterol Levels

• Fiber helps block the re-absorption of cholesterol from the intestines
• Plant sterols block the absorption of cholesterol from food
• Policosanol reduces cholesterol production by the liver
• Chrysanthemum enhances enzymatic breakdown and helps remove LDL cholesterol from the body

What is 4-4-12?

Its the proper way to consistently eat 3 balanced meals a day. Thats 4 hours between breakfast and lunch, 4 hours between lunch and dinner and 12 hours between dinner and breakfast the next day.

Why 4-4-12?

Studies show that having a regular meal pattern helps lower your bodies insulin levels, which aides in burning fat. When you body has high insulin levels it cannot burn stored fat. Bios Life Slim is the difference for living the 4-4-12 rule.

Bios Life Slim reduces your appetite during meals and eliminates the cravings you feel between meals. This makes it possible to live 4-4-12 and burn fat.

By slowing the bodys absorption of glucose from a meal Bios Life Slim allows your body to use the energy stored in the food you eat over a longer period of time. Because it also helps lower insulin levels your body is now able to switch energy sources when it runs out, and start burning the stored fat you are carrying around on your body. We call this period of time when your body is using stored fat for enery the Fat Burning Zone.

Snacking between meals for energy is no longer necessary, Bios Life Slim provides the energy naturally by burning your stored fat.

Bios Life Slim does all of this while lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Bios Life Slim is the only clinically proven, patented, natural, fat loss product on the market. It will change your body from a fat storing machine to a fat burning machine.

Remember 4-4-12 and Bios Life Slim, one rule, one product. Bios Life Slim is the difference.

Some of the fat your body stores is in your midsection. This includes dangerous visceral fat. Visceral fat is the fat that’s difficult to get rid of because it’s found deeper within your body, and can begin to surround vital organs like the liver. Visceral fat is also linked to Insulin resistance, which is the precursor to Pre Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes. Diabetes is simply an extreme case of Insulin resistance.

Most supplements that claim to help lower your blood sugar naturally, usually only provide a temporary solution, if any help at all – They don’t address the source of the problem and as soon as you stop taking it, the problem reappears.

What sets Bios Life Slim apart?

What sets Bios Life Slim™ apart is that it has been clinically proven to restart your body’s natural fat burning ability (something your body is not doing right now), by stabilizing both your blood sugar level and your body’s Insulin level. When your blood sugar and Insulin levels are balanced and your body starts burning fat naturally again, long lasting health improvements are made.

Bios Life Slim™ includes a proprietary ingredient called Biosphere Fiber™. The Biosphere Fiber in Bios Life Slim™ moderates blood glucose (sugar) levels in both Diabetics & Pre Diabetics through two mechanisms:

1. First, it delays the absorption of glucose in your body, so your blood sugar does not reach extreme levels. This relieves stress on the pancreas, and allows your pancreas to produce the correct amount of insulin to facilitate glucose absorption into your cells. The same amount of glucose is eventually absorbed – it just takes more time to absorb it.

2. Second, the Biosphere Fiber also changes the Glycemic index of the food and liquids you consume. The Glycemic index (GI) ranks foods on how they affect your blood sugar levels, and measures how much your blood sugar increases in the two or three hours after eating.

Some foods cause a high level of blood sugar, while others cause a low level of blood sugar. The interaction of Bios Life Slim™ with the food reduces the overall level of blood sugar, and spreads out glucose absorption over a longer period of time.

The conclusion – Your blood sugar and insulin levels begin to stabilize again.
