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!!!
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.
