I started my new year with the USANA Reset program, which allows you to reset your glycemic index, meaning getting rid of the cravings for the bad carbohydrates (sugar, processed breads, pasta, potatoes, etc). I lost 5 pounds and my cravings. The Reset Kit provides all you need (except one or two servings per day of fruits or vegetables) in a 5 day program. You have 3 shakes per day, individually packaged in 3 flavors - vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, 2 nutrition bars a day in 2 flavors - oatmeal raisin and peanut butter chocolate, and essential vitamins packaged for your AM and PM doses.What better way to start a new year? I was amazed at how easy it is to follow. Many USANA Associates are currently following this program too, to follow their progress and / or get your own inspiration visit the USANA blog.

Eating the "Right" Kind of Protein Can Help You Lose Weight

In my endless search for ways to be healthy, stay young, and maintain my youthful vitality, I came across an article on how eating high quality protein will actually curb your appetite, improve cardiovascular health and more. It's reminiscent of my Low Carb diet days, but now researchers have determined that there is validity to this way of eating. What research says is that to net the health-promoting benefits of protein, experts recommend lean, high quality choices: fish, skinless poultry, lean meat, egg whites, low fat dairy, and legumes. These newer findings simply suggest the impact of protein on health is more far reaching than health experts first realized, and that perhaps protein is a key player in keeping the heart healthy, the blood sugar level, and appetite and weight all under control. If weight loss is your goal, plan on incorporating a little more of the high quality protein into your meals. Click here to read more.
