Join the 2 week sugar ban challenge....

Hi everyone,

With all the controversy surrounding the death of student Eloise Pary who took an overdose of DNP - the fact that LotusLite has been awarded with a certification of Doctor Trusted has come at a very key time.

I am disgusted that the law states that DNP can be sold as a slimming pill - as long as the purchaser sees a disclaimer which states it is not fit for human consumption.

We have been reviewed by a panel of doctors who are satisfied that LotusLite is safe to use, that our policies are ethical and our brand is Trustworthy.

Last month I set the members a 30 day plank challenge. It was hardcore. Some couldn't get past 30 seconds whilst I stuck at 1.5 minutes. I have got to give a special mention to member Ian, who managed to do the whole 5 minutes on day 30. Wow!!! 

Want the proof?

Well I asked him to video himself so we could all enjoy watching him in pain!!!

I have to say I could not look at the screen at certain times - it was making me feel really anxious as in know how painful it is.

Massive well done Ian and thanks a million for the lush healthy, fruity, banana cake too.

So now one challenge is over we are moving onto the next.

I am challenging the group to give up (or at least dramatically cut down) on their sugar intake.

I am hoping this will give everyone a weight loss boost making us one step closer to our #lotussummerbod

The Low Sugar LotusLite 2 week challenge.

1) No sweets, cakes, biscuits or chocolate. Even Belvita have 13g of sugar per serving!! If you need a choc fix have a low cal hot chocolate, or you can buy sugar free ice cream like this Wheyhey ice cream available from Ocado.

2) No fizzy drinks. Have the occasional diet version or try unsweetened fruit juice with fizzy water as a healthier alternative. Plain Water is best - at least 1.5 litres per day.

3) Beware sweetened cereals - avoid anything like Frosties, Crunchy nut cornflakes and Co-Co pops. Opt for for wholegrain options like shredded wheat, no added sugar muesli or even better still have a high protein breakfast like an omelette.

4) NO WHITE BREAD. Bread should be limited to one slice per day and should contain as little sugar as possible. Keep in mind ingredients are listed by weight, so the further down sugar is listed on the ingredients list the less it will contain. 

If you want to speed up your weight loss you also need to use in moderation all WHITE related starches so white potatoes, white rice or white flower which will all send your blood sugar levels soaring.  

5) No TAKE Always Whatsoever - Full STOP.

6) No ready made meals - inc low fat Weight Watchers meals. No ready made sauces for pasta/curry etc. Some ready meals contain more sugar than ice-cream. If you must, ensure you follow the 3-5g or less per 100g rule.

This label shows a very high sugar content 30.7g per 100g means it is over 30% sugar content. 

7) No canned foods - canned foods are full of hidden sugars - in a tin of heinz tomato soup for example it contains 5 teaspoons of sugar. A big fan of beans?? We are too. Swap to the lower sugar variety. Did you know that a can of heinz bean has nearly 20 grammes of sugar in them!! 

8) No sugar in teas or coffees - if you must sweeten with sweeteners then be sure to use a plant based sweetener like Truvia.

9) Avoid sugar laden sauces like tomato ketchup, BBQ sauce and mayonnaise - either cut them out all together or switch to low sugar versions. 

10) Veg is a better choice than fruit. Think - munch on carrot sticks rather than chunks of pineapple. 

10) Alcohol is not banned but try to stick to heart healthy red wine or lower calorie spirits and if you can limit it to 14 units per week then do so.

11) Possibly the most important point of all - take your Skinny Pills twice daily preferably just after breakfast and lunch. This should keep that sweet tooth firmly at bay.

So what can i eat

No major food groups are off-limits. 

Fruits and vegetables: You can eat lots of fruits and vegetables.

Grains: Whole-grain bread and pasta, brown rice, and oatmeal are allowed.
