- 2. Weight: a growing issue • Two in three people in Australia and New Zealand are overweight or obese • By 2025, 80 per cent of all adults will be overweight or obese.
- 3. A healthy weight range • Being overweight has overtaken smoking as the leading cause of premature death and illness in Australia. So is overweight the new smoking?
- 4. No magic remedy • Eat and drink well • Exercise regularly • Low-fat protein in every meal • Cut saturated fat (replace with unsaturated fat), sugar and salt (linked with hypertension) • High fibre (fresh fruit and veggies) • Choose wholegrains and low GI carbohydrates.
- 5. A steady life Choosing mostly low GI helps to keep your body and your mind on a steadier level helping to prevent sugar cravings, spiking and crashes…
- 6. Let’s talk GI • Low GI = 55 and under (these are the best choice) • Medium GI = 56-69 (choose these in preference to high GI foods and drinks) • High GI = 70 and above (try to limit how much of these you consume). Carbohydrates are given a GI ranking ranging 0-100. So:
- 7. Metabolic syndrome Poor diet, being overweight and not exercising can trigger metabolic syndrome (Syndrome X).
- 8. A cluster of symptoms Central obesity heart disease Hypertension stroke High blood fats heart disease High blood glucose type 2 diabetes Insulin resistance type 2 diabetes
- 9. What is insulin resistance? The pancreas secretes more and more insulin to try and maintain blood glucose levels to within narrow limits but the cells become resistant to its action and blood glucose levels build up.
- 10. Belly fat • Men ≥ 94cm (≥ 90 for men of Chinese/ South Asian descent) • Women ≥ 80 cm
- 11. Easy as ABC and D • Aerobic exercise • Build muscle • Cut calories • Do some exercise
- 12. Cut calories, cut meds? UK scientists found drastically cutting calories meant that overweight people taking medication for type 2 diabetes could cease medication after getting into their ideal weight range. Study participants consumed just 800 calories per day.
- 13. Clear the clog! Newcastle University’s Professor Roy Taylor says benefits occur by cutting visceral fat (which may clog up the pancreas where insulin is produced) and the liver which detoxifies the body).
- 14. Burn it up! • Around 70 per cent of your weight is due to what you eat and drink and 30 per cent due to your exercise regime • Aim for between 30-60 minutes a day to build muscle • Aerobic exercise burns fat • Weight exercises build lean muscle.
- 15. Notes on Nutrimeal™ • Low in calories, high in protein/fibre/fortified with vitamins and minerals • Three portion-controlled Nutrimeal provide 690 calories daily. Add one or two Protein Snacks/GoNuts’N Berries bars for (150-360) calories plus green veggies for bite!
- 16. Meal-in-a-glass A great choice if you want to drop some kilos or you want to focus on low GI eating (Nutrimeal™ has a glycaemic index of just 25 and is endorsed by the Glycemic Index Foundation).
- 17. What is a healthy meal? • Load half of your plate with veggies • Protein foods (low-fat) for a quarter of your plate • Low GI carbs – like brown or basmati rice or wholemeal pasta, quinoa or wholegrain breads for the other quarter.
- 18. Don’t forget the Essentials! As well as a healthy diet, take your Essentials™ or HealthPak™ daily. Both contain a wide range of antioxidants, minerals and vitamins including vitamin D. Your brain needs vitamin D to keep your hunger and cravings in check.
- 19. Extra protein with SoyaMax™ • Protein is a chemical appetite suppressant • More protein and fewer carbs in the diet means less insulin is produced – this decreases hunger and helps your body burn more fat.
- 20. Probiotics • Some microbes are prevalent in overweight people but not in people who are in the normal weight range • Probiotics help restore a healthy balance.
- 21. USANA Probiotic Probiotics make the intestinal wall less permeable reducing inflammatory molecules passing into the blood (these are associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and glucose intolerance.
- 22. Fibergy Plus™ • High protein diets can be low in fibre. This essential nutrient helps to speed waste out of the body • Also acts as a prebiotic • Add extra fibre with a teaspoon or two of Fibergy Plus™.
- 23. HepaPlus™ • Your liver breaks food/medicines down sending useful nutrients to the blood; toxins are packaged up for disposal • HepaPlus™ – contains the liver tonic and potent antioxidant, milk thistle to boost liver health.
- 24. HepaPlus™ An antioxidant blend that includes alpha lipoic acid to help support enzymes inside and outside the cells. It also contains choline which helps the liver metabolise fats and cholesterol. Plus the potent anti- inflammatory, turmeric in a patented form.
- 25. Marvels of milk thistle Milk thistle has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. It may prevent free radicals from damaging liver cells, reduce toxins from entering them and help liver cells regenerate faster for enhanced liver function.
- 26. Snack smart • Go Nuts‘n’ Berries™ – low in calories and made with nuts for healthy fats, super foods (cranberries and chia seeds) • Provides a satisfying 150 calories.

Notas do Editor
- New research shows that saturated fat builds more fat and less muscle that unsaturated fat – from nuts, seeds and fish. Reference:1.Fredrik Rosqvist, David Iggman, Joel Kullberg, J Jonathan Cedernaes, Hans-Erik Johansson, Anders Larsson, Lars Johansson, HåkanAhlström, Peter Arner, Ingrid Dahlman, and Ulf Risérus. Overfeeding Polyunsaturated and Saturated Fat Causes Distinct Effects on Liver and Visceral Fat Accumulation in Humans. Diabetes, February 2014 DOI: 10.2337/db13-1622 1939-327X --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- You could say that high GI foods and drinks are already digested; the tiny sugar molecules are small enough to quickly enter your bloodstream. When your body detects that your blood glucose is raised (the body tries very hard to keep it within a normal range), the hormone insulin is released to reduce blood glucose levels by taking the glucose into cells. The rapid surge in blood glucose after consuming sugar can mean that too much insulin is produced resulting in a sugar low. And it’s that low blood glucose that will send you running for yet another sugary food or drink. And so, the cycle continues…
- GI is a ranging system for carbohydrates. Low GI foods are best because they supply the glucose units linked together in a large and complex ways (you may have heard of the term complex or starchy carbohydrates?). It takes your body time to break these down into tiny glucose units – which is the form that your body and brain cells need for fuel. And, as glucose is released slowly and steadily in a way that your body can handle, you get long-lasting fuel for body and mind.
- Having too much fat around your middle – central obesity – is a major sign of metabolic syndrome. The fat is wrapped deeply around your vital organs and is called visceral fat. We all need a certain amount of visceral fat but too much can risk your health. That’s because visceral fat is much more metabolically active than the subcutaneous fat (the stuff around your bottom and things and that wobbles) which is a storage material. Visceral fat produces chemicals that trigger inflammation. And it’s this kind of internal inflammation which is strongly linked with type 2 diabetes and other chronic (long-term) conditions such as heart disease.Your ethnicity and gender affect your likli8hood of central obesity (more men are prone to it but women are more likely to get central obesity especially after the menopause). Generally speaking, if your waist measures 94 cm or more (men) or 80 cm or more (women), you probably need to lose some weight. If you are a man of South Asian, Chinese, Asian-Indian, Middle Eastern or Central American heritage, you are more at risk if your waist measures 90 cm or more. Recommended waist measurements are being investigated to be useful for all ethnic groups – because of typical body build, they are likely to lower for Asian men compared with Caucasian men and higher for people of Pacific Islander heritage.
- Eating too man high GI foods and drink and being overweight can also trigger a condition called insulin resistance. The pancreas secretes more and more insulin to try and maintain blood glucose levels to within narrow limits but the cells become resistant to its action and blood glucose levels build up. High levels of blood glucose can be detected via blood testing and urine testing – signalling the presence of glucose which spills over into the urine. This can result in damage to tiny blood vessels increasing the risk of heart and blood vessel diseases.

- This kind of eating is the topic is being research a lot right now. UK scientists funded by Diabetes UK found that drastically cutting calories in this way meant that overweight people who were taking medication for type 2 diabetes were able to stop using the tablets after two. Study participants consumed just 800 calories per day (each Nutrimeal provides around 230 calories so three Shakes plus one USANA Protein Snack provides around 850 calories). The researchers found that this low calorie diet helped the body to start to respond to its own insulin again.
- Newcastle University’s Professor Roy Taylor believes that the benefits were seen when visceral fat was cut and so the body began to respond to insulin again. Visceral fat is thought to clog up the pancreas (where insulin is produced) and liver (which can get congested due to large amounts of triglycerides (a type of fat) from too much sugar/fat/alcohol. This cuts insulin production and stops insulin from being used properly.By drastically dropping the calories, your body switches into starvation mode so that fat is burned from the vital organs. This frees up the organs so they can do their job properly again.Remember to exercise for between 30-60 minutes a day to build lean muscle and burn more fat.
- Kick-start your weight-loss by replacing all three meals for five days with a Nutrimeal™. Yes, it can be a challenge. But it may be just the jump-start you need!This kind of eating is the topic is being research a lot right now.

- Nutrimeal™ contains a range of proteins, healthy fats, low GI carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals – it’s a low calorie meal-in-a-glass. It’s a great choice if you want to drop some kilos or you want to focus on low GI eating (Nutrimeal™ has a glycaemic index of just 25 and is endorsed by the Glycemic Index Foundation. Check out the GI of foods on: www.gisymbol.com.au/foods.html) or you just don’t want to think about food and portions as you lose weight. Try taking just Nutrimeal and a protein snack plus a piece of fruit and lots of steam green veggies for five days. Then, switch to two Nutrimeal a day plus one low GI meal and healthy snacks until you achieve your weight-loss goals. Then, maintain your weight with one Nutrimeal daily, two healthy low GI meals and healthy snacks.
