Visalus: Seven Fast and Free Slimming Secrets

You’ve heard all the hype, the gimmicks, the mystical ancient tricks that are supposed to be your
shortcuts to lasting weight loss success… If only it were that easy, right?
The one thing we do know is that healthy, lasting weight loss doesn’t happen overnight, but it is
something you can have if you follow the right plan. However you decide to begin your weight loss
journey, take a moment to read the tips below and keep them in mind along the way.

1 DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS
Did you know that 74% of adults are dehydrated? This can slow metabolism 3–5%, and keep the pounds on. Another reason to drink plenty of fluids is that 37% of people can confuse thirst as hunger. So drink plenty of fluids, including Neuro™, and you’ll have healthy energy and help your body flush out toxins, feel fuller, and help your
metabolism too.

2 EAT PROTEIN
Protein is a key way to help keep blood sugars level, and keep you from getting hungry. But not
all protein is created equal. The Tri-Sorb™ protein in ViSalus products were specially designed to help you retain and build lean muscle, and burn fat. Other brands use gelatin, milk powder, or other proteins that may be great for skin or hair or nails, but won’t help you burn fat or boost muscle like ViSalus.

3 EAT FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
Did you know that 83% of adults don’t eat enough fruit every day, and 72% don’t get enough
vegetables? These are critical to losing weight as they fill you up, provide healthy antioxidants and fiber, and are low in calories. You can ‘eat more’ and weigh less by adding fruits and
vegetables to your diet.

4 AVOID THE COLOR BEIGE
Did you know that beige foods tend to be high in carbohydrates and calories, but low in nutrition? Bread, rice, and pasta may taste great, but they can add up to more calories, and more fat. One cup of refried beans can be 500 calories! You could eat almost 10 servings of fruits and
vegetables, and still not reach 500 calories. So avoid beige, add color to your plate and you’ll lose weight.

5 GET SOME SLEEP!
Too little sleep, and your body won’t function and you’ll gain and retain weight. Maybe it’s a coincidence, but 68% of us don’t get 8 hours of sleep per night, and almost the same percent is overweight. Sleep, and your body will de-stress, de-tox, and retain less cortisol to
make you gain weight.

6 PORTION SIZES COUNT
The average plate of food is 2–3 times larger in size and calories than just 30 years ago. Did you know that a serving size of protein is the same size as your computer mouse? Two cups of mixed greens should be about the size of two baseballs. A serving of fruit the size of a tennis ball.  A serving of butter or cheese the size of a dice. Little tricks can help you keep portions under control, and help you lose weight.

7 EXERCISE!!!
The best way to boost metabolism, boost mood, and boost weight loss is to exercise. Simple tricks go for a 10 minute walk, 3 times a day can help you lose weight, build muscle, and look better. And Remember… It’s the inches—not the pounds. Many people look to lose pounds, but that can be misleading. Did you know that 1 lb. of fat is the size of a large grapefruit? 1 lb. of lean muscle the size of a small tangerine. By boosting exercise you’ll lose inches, but may not lose pounds. But this is good, as muscle burns more calories and can help keep you healthier.
So don’t focus on the scale, focus on how your clothes fit. That’s’ the true test of weight loss.

Dr Oz and Meal-Replacement Shakes: Body By Vi



Dr. Oz gets it!!! 

Meal-replacement shakes are an effective, easy way to drop pounds. They teach you how to eat less and lose weight quickly and permanently – and the right shake can boost your metabolism by 25%. Who doesn’t need that?

The fact is, when you’re trying to lose body fat, you can’t skip breakfast – but you may be too busy to think about calories and to make healthy choices. That’s why drinking a protein shake first thing in the morning is a simple, foolproof weight-loss method. When you drink the right protein shake, you give your body the nutrients it needs and you can also:

Boost your metabolic rate by 25%. Save calories by avoiding fatty foods (if you drink a shake for breakfast, you can save an average of 400 calories per day). Keep your blood sugar levels balanced, allowing your body to burn stored fat as fuel.

Increase your energy levels, which enables you to increase your activity and automatically burn more calories.

Why do meal replacements or protein shakes for breakfast work? Simply put, weight loss occurs when your metabolism gets moving and you put out more calories than you take in. If you were to replace your 750-calorie bagel and orange juice meal with a 155-calorie protein shake, you’d save 595 calories per day. And you’d see the results on your bathroom scale in no time.

We can’t be perfect all the time, so we need calorie safe havens that keep us anchored while we learn how to eat correctly. Protein shakes that contain nutrients offer those safe havens. Most people love them because they don’t have to think about food, plan meals or buy expensive products. You can even make them yourself. To start, try one of my favorite recipes: a mocha madness shake that tastes amazing.

Dr Oz Website

Try one of his favorite Fat-Burning Mocha Recipes
1 cup of cold water (you can add more or less water depending on the consistency you prefer).
2 scoops of Vi-Shape shake mix
1 packet of chocolate health booster
1 tsp of granulated instant coffee.
5 ice cubes

Take Dr. Oz's word for it, the Vi Shake will help you lose weight and gain better health.
