Week 9, Day 2 – Good news! Create your own account!

January 9th, 2010 No comments

Today, I’m happy to report that you can now set up your own account and place orders any time you like without my assistance. Of course, I’m always ready to help if you need it. Folks often prefer the freedom to come and go as they please, without having to wait on a company representative to complete their order. That time has come for the Silhouette Solution line. You can even order your PrivaTest and your Custom Essentials!

Here’s the website link:

http://tinyurl.com/GetSilhouetteSolution
http://tinyurl.com/MyPrivaTest

Once there, click on the “Products” tab to learn more about the products. (Be sure to also check out the monthly “Product Promotions” button to see which product is being discounted each month.) Then, when you’re ready, click on the “Shop Now for Products” button. This will take you to the PrivaTest page, where you can learn all about the importance of custom nutritionals. There’s a link on that page to “Additional Products” as well.

At the upper right of the page, you will see the “My Account” link. Click on that, and you can either log in (current customer) or “Create a New Account” (new customer). If you’re new, fill in the typical info form, and you’ll be on your way.

With one exception, I have found the products to be excellent. They’re tasty, filling and nutritious, and I’ve been losing weight consistently since I started using them. However, there is one product that I cannot recommend, for subjective reasons. While I know that tastes vary, and you may absolutely love this product, I don’t like it at all. It’s the Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal. I wound up giving it to my daughter, and she didn’t like it, either. Maybe it’s just something in our blood that doesn’t mesh with the taste, because I know people who absolutely love it, and have it for breakfast every day! If you decide to try it, I’d love some feedback about your experience.

Everything else is delicious, so don’t let this one negative review stop you from trying out the rest of the product line. They’re well made, and each of the food products contains 15 grams of protein and little or no sugar. They satisfy my hunger for hours, and I never feel deprived or hungry between meals. My energy remains at a steady level, without the sugar spike that often comes of having a mid-morning or mid-afternoon candy bar or danish, and without the crash that comes an hour or two after a meal.

I know that by using these products, I’m feeding my body the nutrients that it needs to thrive, and my body knows that it will be fed again in 2 hours, so it never gets to the point of desperate hunger and no longer constantly begs me for more food. My binge days may be over! It sure feels that way right now! I can’t begin to tell you how freeing and uplifting this is!

Give these products a try. I know you’ll love them. Let me know how it goes. Tell me about your energy level, your hunger level, your weight loss. I’d love to hear from you.

Week 2, Day 5 – Healthy snacks for kids and teens

November 24th, 2009 No comments

Do your kids fight you when it comes to eating healthy foods? I’ve got a solution for you that will get you and your kids cooperating about food choices, while providing them with the nutrients that their growing bodies need.This is truly a win-win situation!

Along with the other products, like protein bars, smoothies and shakes, the company has just come out with a group of products geared specifically for children. These products provide healthy snacks for kids. (Adults like them, too.)

What child today couldn’t make healthier choices when it comes to snacking? These products are specifically geared to provide an average of 15 grams of protein, along with other important nutrients, in a tasty snack that kids can enjoy.

Depending on the ages and taste buds of your children, they might also enjoy products geared more for adults and teens, like the BBQ Soy Puffs. These are similar to barbecue-flavored cheese puffs, but they’re balanced for weight loss and good nutrition, with 15 grams of protein, 3 grams of sugar and 120 calories per individual package.

If your kids are not into BBQ flavor, similar products are the Sour Cream and Onion Puffs and the Chocolate Puffs. Both provide the same crunch satisfaction and the same nutrition as the BBQ flavor. Kids love ‘em, so there’s no struggle getting them to add good nutrition to their diet.

Other products in the line that kids might enjoy are the protein bars. These come in a variety of flavors, including Chocolate Delite, Blueberry-Pomegranate, Lemon Blast and Peanut Passion. I love them all!

This product line also offers healthy and yummy meal-type foods, like chocolate caramel granola cereal, cinnamon apple oatmeal, and a variety of soups.

You’re sure to find some products that your kids will love, and you can feel good about these choices, because they provide more protein and other good stuff than what you can purchase on the shelves of your local grocery store.

If you’d like to give any of these items a try, visit the Ideal Health website.

Week 1, Day 6 – I’m down 3 pounds

November 18th, 2009 No comments

Weight: 192

I’m down 3 pounds!

I know I said that I’d update my numbers on a weekly basis, but this is just too exciting to keep a secret. Since starting this blog, I’ve lost 3 pounds!

Here are the changes I’ve made so far:

The biggest and most important thing I’ve done is to start giving my body what it needs. Instead of eliminating the junk, I’ve add things like protein, spinach and fresh fruit. I’ve also started taking some potent nutritional supplements. (More about that later.)

Everything else has remained the same. I still sit in front of a computer for too many hours a day, and still get no exercise beyond normal, daily living. I still have trouble sleeping and quieting my mind. These things will change naturally, I think, as my energy level goes up and my weight goes down.
