Health & Weight Management Programme

Murray Crawford

Things to consider:

1. Why do we need to look at our weight?

2. Why most diets don’t work long term

3. Why The Slim Diet Weight Management Programme does work, and the five key steps to it’s success

4. Is the Weight Management Program safe?


1. Why do we need to look at our weight?• Worldwide epidemic ‘Globesity’• WHO predict by 2015 2.3 billion adults will

be overweight, 700 million will be obese• 1 in 3 NZ adults overweight (BMI >25)• 1 in 4 NZ adults obese (BMI >30)• Extreme obesity (BMI >40) on the rise

• Some people just want to lose a small amount or even put

weight on, our system helps everyone.

1. Health risks associated with being overweight:– Diabetes

– Increased cardiovascular risk (hypertension, heart disease, stroke and circulatory problems)

– Osteoarthritis: wear & tear joint degeneration

– Sleep and breathing difficulties

– Premature ageing

– Increased risk of chronic, degenerative diseases

yet we all make excuses don’t we?4


2. Why diets don’t work long term• up to 95% of all weight loss attempts fail,

because most people give up, we all need support to succeed.

• dieters usually gain back all of the weight, and often more within 3- 5 years

• People are eating so many ‘low calorie’ and ‘low fat’ foods yet they are gaining weight

• Why?• Calorie counting reduces muscle mass and

metabolic rate, it does not burn fat. 5


2. We can get off the Merry-go round


Alpha LipidTM Slim Diet IITM

• The Slim Diet II is even better now with the addition of:- (referred to hereafter as SD II)– Alpha LipidTM patented delivery system– Sweetened with natural low calorie Stevia– Green Tea extract which increases energy

expenditure and Thermogenesis

3. How & Why The Slim Diet II Weight Management concept works:-

• Safe, well researched, & based on the Protein Sparing Modified Fast (PSMF) concept developed by two Doctors, Blackburn & Cahill at Harvard Medical School


How & Why SD II works

• By reducing the simple carbohydrates such as sugar, bread, pasta, flour, fruit & rice, the body is forced to switch to an alternative source of energy, fat.

• Lean muscle mass & tone are maintained• Skin tone is maintained• Metabolic rate is maintained

3. The benefits of the Slim Diet WMP– Safe & effective rapid weight loss– Look good – feel great– Better health– Reduced risk of disease– No hunger pangs or food cravings– Renewed energy– Works with the body’s natural mechanisms– Improved blood glucose control and insulin

ALSDII Weight Management Programme

3. Five key steps to successful

weight loss, ensure that you have:

i. Adequate useable protein

ii. Controlled carbohydrates

iii. Sufficient essential fatty acids (EFA’s)

iv. Enough water

v. Regular exercise

9

Slim Diet II Weight Management Programme

i. Adequate useable protein: -This ensures our body does not cannibalise its muscle,

protecting our heart, brain and lung function.

- We need 1– 1.5 gm useable protein per kg of goal body weight, depending on activity level, but min 60g a day

This maintains Muscle Tone & Skin Tone

Choose lean cuts of meat and low fat options

10


SD II WMP

• Four servings of Slim Diet II provides 40 grams of our daily protein requirements

• Download the “Food Content Chart” from the website to calculate the source of your remaining protein requirements.

• It’s simple really- if it flies, walks or swims & you can catch it, you can eat it!

ii. Controlled carbohydrates:-- Kick start the ‘fat burning’ by restricting daily

intake to 20g/day

- Then find your CCL

- Avoid all refined, sugary and starchy CHO e.g. bread, cereals, cakes, sweets, rice, noodles, pasta. Most fruit and some vegetables are to be avoided.

- Learn which foods to include and which to avoid.

- Eat only from the ‘Food to include’ List.


SD II WMP

• Carbohydrates:– Use the “Food Content Chart”– read labels to calculate Carbohydrate content &

to avoid Carbohydrates that should not be eaten on the diet

– It’s simple really- if it’s Green & grows above the ground you can eat it, cooked or raw.

– If it grows below the ground or is coloured but not a fruit, you can eat a small amount raw

SD II WMP

• Five cups of green vegetables and your chosen protein food is a substantial meal, so you will not starve or be hungry.

• Many people complain that there is too much to eat!

• “left-over's” could be part of your breakfast

iii. Sufficient essential fatty acids (EFA’s):-

- these ensure that our body can metabolise & store the fat soluble vitamins A D E & K.

- These good fats, particularly EFA’s are not only good for our health, but assist with our metabolism and the fat burning process.

- They also help us to lose stored fat and gain Muscle.

– Saturated fat: mainly from animal products, solid at room temp, limit consumption

– Monounsaturated fat: olive oil, avocado and nuts, enjoy in moderation, do not over heat

– Polyunsaturated fat: flax, sunflower and sesame seeds, walnuts, evening primrose and fish. Contain omega 3 & 6 essential fatty acids. Flax and fish richest source of omega 3. Consume in moderation, never heat or cook with these oils


Essential Fatty Acids

• Learn which are the “good fats” & how to use them properly

• Many health benefits have been attributed to the EFA’s Omega 3 & 6– saturated fats are mainly from animal products &

solid at room temperature, limit consumption– monounsaturated fats such as olive oil (don’t over

heat) & avocados, enjoy in moderation.

Essential Fatty Acids

• Polyunsaturated Fats:-- Flaxseed oil, richest source of Omega 3 along with fish. Do not cook with Flax seed oil. Add one teaspoon (5 mil) to each shake- Other sources of polyunsaturated fats are Sunflower, Walnut, Sesame & Primrose oil.

These oils are best used as salad dressing bases rather than being heated

iv. Enough water. Most of us do not drink enough water– We need a minimum 2.0 litres daily

– Changes in metabolic processes and breakdown of fat increases the need for water

– Helps metabolise stored fat

– As we burn fat more toxins released

– Clears out toxic metabolic wastes

– Will help to prevent constipation

– Herbal tea and green tea can contribute to intake– 14


v. Regular exercise– Will turbo charge your weight loss and help to

burn calories

– It has a multitude of other health benefits

– Regular is the key: 5 or more times per week

– Start by just moving for as long as you can

– If you are not fit, start with 5 min and increase it gradually each day.

– Walk on flat, level ground, or swim. As you progress add in some hills, and increase the pace and duration until you get to 30 minutes

15


– Exercise on the spot if you are too busy


4. Is the Slim Diet Weight Management System safe?

• Yes! This is very important. Not all diets are safe, some people worry about fast weight loss being dangerous, and about Ketosis.

• Likely to benefit your overall health

• However it is not recommended during pregnancy or lactation

• Anyone with serious health conditions especially liver, kidney, neurological or insulin dependant diabetics must consult with their healthcare provider before commencing

To achieve successful Weight Management

We need to :-

- Decide how much we want to lose, & how long we are prepared to take to achieve this.

- Re-educate our palate.

- Learn the correct portion size.

Understand that what made us overweight it the first place, will make us overweight again.

23


• With time, we gain weight because we accumulate so much information andwisdom in our heads that when there is no more room, so it distributes outto the rest of our bodies. So we aren't heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy.Beginning today, when I look at my backside in the mirror I will think, Good grief, look how smart I am! Must be where 'Smart Arse' came from!
