For a Balanced New Year

For a Balanced New Year


Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

So far 2010 has been one of my best starts ever! I have great friends and I know which changes I want to make throughout this new year. Each year we all have things we would like to improve, and for many of us, that project/target/mark (I hate the word goals) is achieving a healthy weight. Luckily, Young Living is here to help with great nutritional products, and

Balance Complete™ is a perfect way to overcome our battle with excess eating and to reach that mark we have set.

Balance Complete is a daily meal replacement that has 11 grams of fiber per serving. Most adult women should consume at least 20 grams of fiber a day; men should shoot for at least 30 grams. Fiber is an important part of any weight management plan because it expands when combined with water, which makes you feel fuller. For me that is important because I love to munch on all sorts of foods. Even though I’ve been good at trying to satisfy my cravings with healthy foods, I realize that I get the munchies too often! The good news, though? Now that I’m using Balance Complete, I feel full longer and have been able to reduce my overall calorie intake.

While working at Young Living I have found a few things that might help out while taking Balance Complete. For you first timers, I would suggest that you mix a scoop of Balance Complete with a scoop of Power Meal™ or Pure Protein Complete™ until your body can adjust to all the fiber that you will be taking in.

Another tip is from www.livestrong.com. I have never been much into calorie counting, but decided to see how much I really eat during the day (I now know why my pants were becoming a little snugger!). I have started tracking my “daily plate” and found that it keeps me inline with the target I have set for myself. Conveniently, Balance Complete is listed on their daily plate. All you have to do it type in Balance Complete and it tracks all the calories, fiber, protein, and carbs for you. Try it out—I think you will be amazed at what you actually eat!

It’s good to seek new ways to reach your New Year’s resolutions. Try replacing one or two meals each day with Balance Complete and I know you’ll see a difference!
