Ultra Lite
Professional Health & Weight Management |
For the past 30 years
we’ve been told to reduce our fat intake and to count our calories.
This has
not worked!
As a nation we have
become fatter to the extent that 60% of Australians are overweight or obese. |

For many years the dietary pyramid has encouraged us to
consume six to eleven servings of carbohydrates per day. Current research
suggests these levels are too high taking into consideration our current
relatively sedentary lifestyles.
Scan any supermarket shelf, and you’ll be bombarded with
messages that a low-fat diet is a heart-healthy diet. But is it? The short
answer is NO: low-fat diets only make us a lot fatter around the belly, which
is a prime heart disease risk.
When you cut fat out of your diet you have to replace it
with something, and that something is usually carbohydrates. Low-fat foods are
pretty tasteless and sweeteners are often used to restore the ‘mouth feel’ that
fats provide. And because these foods lack essential nutrients, your body
urges you to eat more in a vain attempt to get what’s missing. You end up
bloated, with a pale and dull-looking complexion and kilos piling on around
your middle. Depression sets in and you binge eat for comfort.
If your low-fat diet gives you food cravings, energy slumps,
headaches, tiredness and irritability |
| IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE TO THE ULTRA LITE PROGRAM. |

Carbohydrates that are not burnt for energy by the body are
taken up by the fat cells and stored as FAT.
Obesity increases the prevalence of most cardiovascular risk
factors and is the most predominant cause of diabetes. Learning about how
different foods affect specific hormonal levels that are involved with weight
control allows people to make some simple changes to their diet that promote
fat loss.

The Body Mass Index (BMI) is an indicator of optimal weight
for health. To determine your BMI simply divide your weight in kilograms by
your height squared. For example: A person whose weight was 78kg and height
was168cm, would be 78 divided by (1.68 X 1.68 = 2.82) =27.65.
Adults with a BMI between 19 and 24 have less risk for
illness such as heart disease and diabetes than individuals with a BMI between
24 and 29. A BMI greater than 30 indicates greatest risk for obesity related
diseases.
Being in a healthy weight range is important for all
Australians. Obesity is becoming an epidemic throughout many countries. |
The Ultra Lite Professional Weight & Health
Management Program teaches people how to lose excess body fat safely and
provides the skills needed for long term weight management. It is designed to
provide you with virtually all the necessary amounts of protein, carbohydrates,
vitamins, minerals, trace elements and essential fatty acids in proper balance.
Ultra Lite is EDUCATIONAL.
It will empower you to make
better food choices, unlike meal replacement and “quick fix” options which are
so readily available today. You will learn about different food groups and
more importantly correct portion sizes. We believe that EDUCATION is the key
element to maintaining long term weight management and good health.
It is important to have a compelling reason to achieve
weight loss goals, whether it be for a special occasion i.e. wedding, birthday,
summer holidays or other event, or for health concerns; perhaps the Doctor is
treating for heart, blood pressure, cholesterol or blood sugar regulation
problems. |

| Countless Locals Admit
To Huge Cover-up |
| A large number of men and
women have revealed that they are once again too embarrassed to be seen in
bathers this year! |
| Thankfully Kay Semovic, Naturopath from the Goolwa Natural
Health Centre has a proven solution to enable locals to face this summer with
confidence. The Ultra Lite Weight Management Program teaches people how to lose
5 -10kg in a 5 week program or 10 -20kg in a 10 week program, and regain self
esteem and a zest for life. |

Do you have cravings for bread, cakes, chocolate or
sweets?
Have you developed an ugly ‘spare tyre’ around your middle? |
| Blame it on insulin, often called the ‘hunger hormone’
because of it’s involvement in regulating appetite. Insulin is produced in
response to eating carbohydrates. High carbohydrate diets require more insulin
to be produced and the higher levels of insulin promote fat storage. |
“If you’re eating more carbohydrates than your metabolism
can use as energy, the glucose is converted into triglycerides or fat” says
Kay. “Continuing this process over time can lead to Metabolic Syndrome or
‘Syndrome X’ as it is known.
Top |
| Metabolic Syndrome shows as a cluster of symptoms which
include obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and heart
disease. |
| “Our clients learn how different foods affect their weight
and hormonal system” Kay adds, “by burning body fat and increasing metabolism,
they feel so much better in themselves and their confidence improves as the
kilos and centimetres come off”. |
| Whether there is thyroid or other health issues; or symptoms
of Syndrome X, the 5 or 10 week Ultra Lite Programs are tailored for each
individual. Progress is monitored weekly with private one-to-one consultations
with Kay Semovic who has clinical Naturopathic experience dating back to 1994. Naturopathy
consultations are also available for all manner of health concerns including
immune issues, hormonal problems, skin disorders, stress, and depleted energy
reserves. Health Rebates apply. |
| If you’ve made the decision to lose weight, then Ultra Lite would
certainly help you to reach your goals. It’s particularly helpful for
people who’ve put weight around the tummy area, and who crave sugars and
sweets and who often feel tired and lethargic. |
| We have been using this program successfully since 2000 and find it’s really beneficial for dealing with the symptoms of
Syndrome X; like cravings and fatigue, and difficulty losing weight. This is
because it teaches people how different foods affect them, and how the hormone
insulin causes all kinds of health and weight problems. The program uses a low
carbohydrate approach for fast, safe fat loss, and this also helps with
stabilizing blood sugar levels and helping with energy. |
| We use normal everyday foods from home, so it’s easy to
incorporate it in with family life. The essence of the program is using 3 meals
a day in conjunction with the Ultra Lite nutritional sachets. The sachets
contain vitamins, minerals and amino acids and promote you burning body fat.
They are normally used in between meals instead of having a snack; you can
choose from 8 different flavours and they mix easily with either hot or cold
water. |

| We have a 5 week & a 10 week program. We generally find
that our clients really value the weekly one-on-one consultations and
this is where we monitor your progress and make any adjustments for your own
individual needs. We are also here for motivation, support and individual care. |
| On the first visit, we fully explain what foods you can
chose from and how to work out the portion sizes. We also explain that you need
to do a simple urine test at home each day; this shows us if you are burning
body fat at the most effective rate and we can use this information to tailor
the program for your own needs. |
| We find that when people have really decided that it’s time
to lose weight, we can help them make good commonsense goals, and then show them
how to achieve them. |
| Most people need extra support to be able to stick to
any change of eating & that’s what we're here for! |

| The Key To Maintaining Your Ideal Weight! |
When you have reached your ideal weight, you will be placed
on a well-balanced maintenance program. During this part of the program, your
body will continue to reshape, until you have reached your optimum weight,
which will be decided by your body’s own metabolism.
We understand that social events do occur from time to time
and you may be tempted to drink or eat foods that may cause you to gain a few
kilos.
As part of maintenance, it is recommended that you go back
on the main program for two weeks every four months. This will remove any
excess weight that you may have gained.
The essence of true weight loss and long term management
is eating foods that reduce cravings and have a better effect on blood sugar
levels.
|
| The Ultra Lite program
empowers you to make better food choices and teaches you how to recognise
correct portion sizes. |
