DisclaimerNutritional Recommendations for Calories, Fat Grams, Protein, Weight and Exercise Our nutritional, weight reduction and exercise recommendations are intended for persons in good health 18 years of age and older. (younger children 16 and over may, under special circumstances, participate in a weight reduction program but in all cases MUST be under the supervision of a Medical Doctor or Licensed and Qualified Health Provider. Before embarking on any physically strenuous or calorie reduction program you should undergo a complete physical examination by your Licensed Healthcare Professional to insure that you do not have any preexisting conditions that may be harmful to your personal well being. Check our website for suggested diet plans and coordinate with your health care professional a meal plan that is sensible, non-harmful and will help you achieve your weight loss goals. Make certain to consult your Health Care Professional for any questions or problems that may arise during your program. No information on this site is intended and nor can it be used to offer any type of medical advice, diagnosis and anyone using this website agree to not use any information on this website as medical advice nor to be used treatment of any medical condition. Weight loss can be elusive if one does not plan and properly execute their weigh loss program especially in the beginning weeks. We suggest keeping a detailed diary of everything consumed thorough out the day so you may carefully plan your total caloric intake and maximize your weight loss within your target period. Look on our website for the Daily Calorie Counter and also for the suggested diets complete with caloric values to fit your individual needs. These can be downloaded and printed and used for your personal needs as often as you choose. Should you need help in planning a meal program for an extended period such as two weeks or more we are available by phone to give you hints and suggest a variety of products so it will be easier for you to remain on your program. Our products vary by taste, texture, and flavor and we have extensive experience with our products and feel we can give you a vast number of tips that will go a long way to satisfying your weight loss needs without the boredom and repetition of just a few select products. In starting your program you must remember to get a clean bill of health from your health care professional before starting. Then plan on some form of exercise during and after your weight loss program. I cannot stress enough the importance of exercise during this program as well as after as it makes you feel so much healthier, with more energy and a lot better looking. You should also keep track of the type of exercise you do, the frequency and the intensity. Remember to start slow and build up to the intensity agreed upon between you and your Doctor or Licensed Health Care Professional. The suggestions we make for a daily caloric intake will vary by individual therefore it is really important that you seek the help of your Doctor to determine the best plan for you. We have plans that are 1800, 1500, 1200 and 1000 calories per day. Of course, there are programs that go to 800 calories per day and even lower in some extreme cases but you are absolutely not to attempt these lower caloric programs unless you are being properly monitored by a Doctor. The consumption of calories, fat, protein and fiber should be balanced at every meal. For most men a suggested normal intake of 100-150 grams of protein spread over three (3) meals each day should be adequate. Ladies should consume between 75-100 grams of protein daily. (If you have ever had gout or kidney problems of any kind it is an absolute must to see your Doctor before starting a high protein regimen). Lean meats, poultry, fish (low oil), no fat cheese and other similar products will serve you well as will EGGBEATERS. With some judicious planning on your part and some help from us and the shakes, bars, soups, drinks, snacks we provide you from our website we are confident you will reach your objectives whether you are an athlete looking to improve muscle mass or one of the 60% of Americans who are overweight. Let us talk about fat. While fat is essential to good health the fat intake should be approximately 15%-20% of your total caloric dietary intake. Ladies should try to keep their fat intake to 20-30 grams per day and men should restrict their fat intake 30-40 grams of total fat per day. Also, both men and woman should take a daily multivitamin each day. There are many good ones on the market and your health care professional can help you select one. One last thing: water, water, water and more water!!!!!!! It is most important that you maintain hydration. Once you are thirsty you are clinically dehydrated. You must drink an absolute minimum of 8 8ounce glasses of fluids per day. High protein drinks like we sell on our website do not replace sports drinks like Gatorade. It is important that you combine into your diet a combination of water, sports drinks as well as the high protein drinks we supply in order to stay healthy while you are on your program. | |
