Weight Loss Program
VIDEO
Hi, I am Lucero Mejia and what is the topic for today? Weight Loss
Many of us would love to lose weight, right? We all know how hard it is to lose weight, and on the other hand, how easy it is to gain weight. Hmmm… with a blink of an eye, we packed the pounds back on again.
Well, I have a group of people who discovered the path to lose over 20 pounds in one month and they didn’t have to diet one single day.
Would you like to know how they did it?
THIS IS A REVOLUTIONARY PROGRAM TO LOSE WEIGHT AND TO START CREATING A NEW HEALTHY, INTELLIGENT AND SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE
This program works very well to reduce inches from your abs, buttocks and legs.
In my 20 years of experience, I found out that if I give a client a myriad of information about nutritional advice to follow, sometimes, and it is not the norm but the exception, the individual will take the lead and follow it. However, what has worked beautifully is when I give the client a set of instructions to follow – let’s say for 2 DAYS (PHASE ONE). And then in PHASE TWO of 2 weeks duration, I give the nutritional instructions to which is a reinforcement and expansion of PHASE ONE. And then in PHASE THREE and going forward, the client has already become accustomed to the plan, and will have created his/her own sustainable and permanent healthy lifestyle.
Let’s begin…
We all accumulate toxics and harsh chemicals that come from our food, preservatives, additives, processed food, trans-fats, and chemicals in our environment and in our homes, and all of these toxics do reside in our body. And each person with his/her unique biochemical and genetic makeup and lifestyle do accumulate those toxics in their body specifically either in their stomach, buttocks or thighs.
Therefore, this program is designed to eliminate those areas of concern when we detoxify specific organ systems. These organs correspond to the endocrine, digestive and lymphatic systems.
Which detox program do you need?
Read the specific characteristics for each plan, and if you answer YES to two or more questions then you will need that plan to follow.
For men – only choose between the digestive and lymphatic system because the endocrine system refers to women only. “We are special” hahahaha
1. ENDOCRINE SYSTEM DETOX
This plan has to do with the PMS and irregular cycles
- Do you experience premenstrual symptoms, such as water retention, breast tenderness or sensitivity, or emotional ups and downs like mood swings?
- Do you struggle with menstrual cramps, heavy periods or periods that last longer than six days?
- Do you have irregular cycles or have you had trouble conceiving a child in the past?
If you answer YES to two or more questions then you need the ENDOCRINE SYSTEM DETOX
1. DIGESTIVE SYSTEM DETOX
This plan has to do with how you feel when you eat.
- Does your stomach feel heavy and bloated, even if you eat slowly?
- Are you prone to flatulence or indigestion, or do you have to watch what you eat to prevent acid reflux or heartburn?
- Do you experience diarrhea, constipation, or other intestinal problems when you are under stress?
If you answer YES to two or more questions then you need the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM DETOX
2. LYMPHATIC SYSTEM DETOX
This plan has to do with your skin reaction and cellulitis
- Do you regularly struggle with acne, dry skin, or persistent dark circles under your eyes?
- Are you prone to yeast, urinary tract infections, colds or the flu?
- Do you have cellulitis on your hips or thighs even though you exercise on a regular basis?
If you answer YES to two or more questions then you need the LYMPHATIC SYSTEM DETOX
Just follow your customized plan.

WHY DO WE NEED SUPPLEMENTS?
Is the full-body benefits of fiber. FiberWise is a scientifically balanced blend of seven fiber sources, plus vitamins, antioxidants, soothing herbs, and probiotics
Promotes digestive health: In a recent study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, suggests that something as simple as aiming to eat 30 grams of fiber each day can help you lose weight, lower your blood pressure, and improve your body’s response to insulin just as effectively as a more complicated diet. According to research, a high-fiber diet helps reduce the risk of many serious health concerns in the digestive track.
Promotes healthy weight loss: Helps you feel fuller longer, reducing overeating, which in turn helps prevent weight gain and makes it easier to shed excess pounds.
Helps reduce the risk of heart disease: Soluble fiber may help lower total blood cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, which may in turn help lower the risk of heart disease.
Sweeps away toxics and waste: Fiber helps keep toxins from recirculating in the bile and blood, and speeds the passage of waste from the body.
Supports Immunity: Provides food for the “friendly” bacteria in your large intestine that fight the growth of harmful bacteria and contribute to immune support throughout the body.
Improves Regularity: According to research, a high-fiber diet may help promote a healthy digestive tract.
Body mass index (BMI) is a number that is calculated from a person’s weight and height. It is used as a screening tool to identify possible weight problems. Research reveals that lower body levels of omega-3 (fish oil) fatty acids are associated with higher BMI results, meaning that improving your omega-3 (fish oil) levels may reduce the risk of having a weight problem]. Although BMI is a popular screening tool, it has major limitations because it isn’t able to discriminate between fat and lean (muscle) mass; it has been suggested that body fat percentage plays a more important role in distinguishing between healthy and unhealthy individuals.
Belly fat in particular is especially dangerous and is considered to be more predictive of poor health than BMI. Low omega-3 (fish oil) fatty acids also seem to play a role in the accumulation of belly fat. In fact, higher omega-3 fish oil) fatty acid levels may reduce belly fat by decreasing fat cell size. These results suggest that dietary management with omega-3 (fish oil) fatty acids may represent an important way to better manage BMI and belly fat.
Supplementing with omega-3 (fish oil) fish oil results in weight loss
Omega-3 (fish oil) supplementation has been shown to be effective for promoting not only weight loss but also fat loss and belly fat loss in various trials; dosages have ranged from 300 mg to 1.8 grams daily of EPA+DHA. The addition of omega-3 (fish oil) fatty acids to an exercise program also seems to boost fat loss potential. Likewise, the addition of seafood or fish oil to a nutritionally balanced calorie-restricted diet seems to boost weight loss potential. This begs the question: does combining omega-3 (fish oil) fatty acid supplementation with both diet and exercise provide even more significant results? The answer is yes!
Supplementing with omega-3 (fish oil) fatty acids can not only improve body composition but combining supplementation with calorie restriction and/or exercise further accelerates the weight/fat loss process.
How does it work?
Omega-3 (fish oil) fatty acids may contribute to improved body composition by increasing metabolism and fat burning potential. They also seem to suppress appetite, which leads to the consumption of fewer calories.
Omega-3 (fish oil) improves the metabolic consequences of obesity
For many years, excess body fat was thought to be simply a storage space for extra calories. However, overwhelming evidence in recent years has revealed that excess body fat has severe consequences within the body, such as inflammation, insulin resistance, high triglycerides, and many others. An increased omega-3 (fish oil) fatty acid intake has been shown to attenuate many of these consequences. Therefore, omega-3 (fish oil) fatty acid supplementation may not only improve weight/fat loss but it may also offer additional benefits in managing the serious consequences of obesity. In addition, omega 3 (fish oil) studies link to improved brain and memory function, good eye-development and maintenance plus the ability to reduce the risks of Alzheimer’s and strokes.
PROTEIN
As you are losing weight, your body loses both muscle and fat (I know, bummer!). During this process it is especially important that you continue to eat enough protein in your diet. Having adequate protein coming in from your food fuels fat burning while preserving calorie-burning lean muscle. Right after every workout, have a protein shake.

FLORIFY
Florify contains 10 billion cfu of probiotics to help balance and protect your digestive tract for better health and improved nutrient absorption
The Natural Power of Florify
One daily dose of the new Florify
formula contains 10 billion colonies of acid-resistant flora from seven diverse strains, including Lactobacillus acidophilus (which targets your small intestine) and Bifidobacterium lactis (which works in your colon). Florify also has prebiotic FOS (fructooligosaccharides). This prebiotic helps nourish the healthy bacteria in your digestive tract and encourages their growth.
Why seven sources?
Not all probiotics are the same, and each source (strain) benefits different parts of your body in different ways. Some work in the small intestine and others work in your colon.
For example, the strains of Lactobacillus have been shown to support your body’s immune system and help food move properly through the digestive tract. Strains of Bifidobacterium can help relieve feelings of cramping bloating, gas and diarrhea. The more diverse the sources, the more widespread the benefits.
Benefits of Probiotics
A healthy digestive tract contributes to immune health as well as overall health. And with 10 billion flora from seven diverse sources—plus prebiotics—there’s never been an easier way to support your digestive health than all-new Florify ‘Probiotics
Probiotics have been shown to help:
- Build and maintain a healthy digestive system while supporting immunity.
- Boost the absorption of nutrients consumed in food and nutritional supplements.
- Replenish the natural balance of good flora in your digestive tract.
- Protects against occasional digestive upsets.
What are probiotics?
Probiotics are strains of bacteria that help maintain the natural balance of flora in the human gut. They break food down so it can be digested, and they help bolster your immune system. Simply put, there can be harmful or helpful bacteria in the digestive tract, and taking Florify adds to the number of helpful bacteria and strengthens their ability to decrease the amount of bad bacteria.
Therefore, supplementation help us to:
- Achieve the goal sooner because we will have the guidance and tools to make it happen.
- Avoid cravings which can sabotage our efforts.
- Help us to convert our body into a fat burning machine.
- When exercising, this is a must to have the proper protein which restores our muscle and helps to tone and grow.
- Help us to create a sustainable and permanent lifestyle.
However, the key is to have the willingness to do it, to adapt to a new lifestyle and to become a NEW YOU.
