HOW RIGHTSIZE® WORKS The key to losing
weight is burning more calories than you take in daily. RightSize® is a low
calorie meal replacement that helps manage your appetite so that you are not
craving food all day.
FACT: One pound of fat is approximately equal to 3500
calories.
FACT: If you want to lose 2 pounds a week you need to reduce your
calories by 7000 a week and/or increase your activity to burn extra calories.
FACT: If you consume 100 calories a day more than your body needs,
you will gain approximately 10 pounds in a year. |
| If
you have a lifestyle that currently maintains your weight here are some things
you can do to lose weight. |
| Walk an extra mile a day |

NOTE: Health professionals recommend aiming for a weight loss of 1
to 2 pounds a week, and keeping active when you're on a diet - pushing your
body into starvation mode is counterproductive.
FACT: If you eat too few calories a day, your body will go into
starvation mode and your metabolism will decrease. The lowest
intake per day recommended for females is 1,200 calories.
The lowest level
recommended for males is 1,500 calories per day.

AN EXAMPLE: Hi, My name is Louis
Wait. I want to lose 2 pounds a week.
I weight 195 pounds, 5'9", Female
and have a Sedentary (someone with a "desk job" who does not exercise at all)
lifestyle. The calculator shows that I burn 1983 calories a day.
If I
cut my calories a day to 1200 and do not change my lifestyle, I cannot meet my
goal of losing 2 pounds a week. The best I can do is 1.5 pounds a week.
Therefore, I need to increase my daily activity. I need to add light exercise 1
- 3 days per week. This will increase the calories I burn to 2272 a day. If I
keep my calories to between 1200-1300 a day, I can meet my goal of losing 2
pounds a week. That means I can eat two 525 calorie meals and drink one 200
calorie RightSize® Smoothie or eat one 850 calorie meal and drink
two 200 calorie RightSize® Smoothies a day.

TIPS & SUGGESTIONS |
|
A medium-sized adult
would have to walk more than 30 miles to burn up 3,500 calories, the equivalent
of one pound of fat. Although that may seem like a lot, you don't have to walk
the 30 miles all at once. Walking a mile a day for 30 days will achieve the
same result, providing you don't increase your food intake to negate the
effects of walking. |
|
Get a set of weights
and do 15 minutes a day of weight lifting. Body building is especially
important for women. You will lose 300 calories a day or nearly 2000 a
week |
