What is SlimSafeOnline?

SlimSafe Weight Management and Lifestyle program.

The SlimSafe Program is based on over 40 years of medical research, chiefly conducted at the Harvard Medical Institute.  The program has been devised by Doctors and is a safe, fast and effective means to lose unwanted body fat.  A common loss in the first week is between 3 and 6 kilograms, followed by approximately 2 kilograms each week thereafter.  SlimSafe is not a high protein fad diet.  Rather it is a well balanced weight management and lifestyle program.

The SlimSafe program has been formulated to provide all of the necessary amount of protein, carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and trace elements in the correct balance.  The result being: fat loss, improved energy and no hunger or cravings.

Weight loss is simple when you know how.  The body has three accessible sources of energy; sugars, muscles or fat.  By reducing your sugar intake and feeding your muscle with the SlimSafe Nutritional powder all you have left to burn for energy is fat.  The urine analysis each morning ensures you are burning fat every day.

You will look and feel better than you have in a long time, no sagging skin or drawn face to worry about.  Once you have reached your target weight you will have the option to be placed on the SlimSafe Maintanence Program.  The lifestyle program will ensure you maintain your ideal weight and continue enjoying the increased vitality and energy you experience on the weight management program.

  It is advantageous if you undertake this highly successful weight management and lifestyle program with the assistance of a trained SlimSafe consultant.  Your progress will be monitored each week until you have achieved your optimum health weight.

The protein sparing modified diet has been extensively tested and found to be safe.  Please inform your SlimSafe consultant if you are pregnant or breast feeding, or are taking thyroid or blood pressure medication or if you suffer from diabetes, anaemia, epilepsy, gout, kidney, liver or heart disease.

Why SlimSafe works:

 In today’s busy lifestyle, we tend to eat on the run, and cook meals that are easy to make and that we know will fill us.  These meals usually take the form of Pasta or Rice meals.  We also tend to eat a lot of bread.  This is the American trend of following the Food Pyramid, eating mostly grains and cereals.

What we are not told is that these processed carbohydrates are converted in our bodies to glucose very quickly. This causes your blood sugar levels to rise sharply and to compensate for this, and to protect your body from damage from the high glucose levels; your body releases a chemical called Insulin.  Insulin is responsible for taking the excess glucose out of the blood stream and storing it for use later.  The body can only store a certain amount of glucose.  What it can’t store, it converts to fat and stores it where you usually don’t want it.

So if you have bread or processed cereals for breakfast, then for lunch you have takeaway, rice or pasta then for dinner you have a meal with again either rice or pasta, you can be assured that a percentage of today’s food will be stored as fat.

This program is designed to mobilise those stores of fat, converting it back to glucose, and using it as fuel for your body.

Every morning when you test your urine with Ketostix, you can physically see that you are burning fat which motivates you further and further.

There is no guessing, it’s scientific.

Your body has two sources of energy:

1.     The food you eat

2.     The fat you have stored

When you reduce your carbohydrate intake (sugars and starches), the body will naturally break down fat for energy.

The amount of carbohydrate that triggers the fat breakdown is called your Critical Carbohydrate Level(CCL).  When fats break down, ketones are produced and this process is called ketosis.  This chemical condition is favourable to the fast burning of fat and also prevents ravenous hunger.  Ketones are measured on a urine test strip.

The importance of increased protein!

By increasing your protein intake, you ensure that you only breakdown fat, and not muscle.  Therefore, the weight loss that you have is only fat.  Your muscle bulk is preserved.

It is important to preserve muscle bulk during fat loss as fat is converted into energy in the muscles.

Protein ensures that you are getting sufficient nutrients to keep your body functioning at its optimum while converting fat to glucose and burning it.  This avoids the rebound effect that is present in most other weight loss programs.
