Metabolic Boosting Products 1. Emotional Power Cream: to improve mood and de-stress mind and body (contains coded CHI vibrational energy programs to calm, relax and balance energies, and strengthen the body from negative emotions).

7. CHI bio-energized MCT Oil: This is the only oil allowed on this program. Medium Chain Triglyceride oil (coconut oil) is interesting because, when it is metabolized in the body, it behaves more like a carbohydrate than a fat. The fuel of preference for the body is carbohydrate, and the body will use up its store of carbohydrate before using other fuels.
The energetic qualities and therapeutic effectiveness of energetic medicines can be i n fl u e n c e d b y o t h e r s t r o n g electromagnetic fields, so it is important to store them away from mobile phones, computers, microwaves and other equipment emitting strong electromagnetic radiation.
The bio-energized formulas and drops comply with the TGA exemptions in Australia as bioenergetic products.

Food Preparation
Homeopathy is a safe and effective natural energetic medicinal art discovered by the German scientist Dr Samuel Hahnemann in 1796. Administration of tiny quantities of specifically prepared substances assist the body to heal itself. Homeopathy is considered an energetic medicine because it works vibrationally rather than a direct biochemical interaction. Energetic medicine works on the human energy field; it influences, harmonises, balances and normalises the physiologic patterns and biological activities.

Beyond Slim Phase 2
Phase 2 Days 1-2: The Gorge "Gain before Loss" ๏ Take the Fat Metaboliser (FM) dietary drops under tongue twice daily while undertaking the 2 day gorge. The FM dietary drops are best taken orally at least 20 minutes away from food, and avoid or minimise consuming strong tasting substances that can work as an antidote to their bio-energetic nature. This includes coffee, mint toothpastes or cigarettes. For best results hold the drops for up to two minutes in your mouth before swallowing. ๏ The gorge is the overfeeding start of the part of the Beyond Slim weight loss program. This usually doesnʼt make sense to most that start the program. Do NOT try to limit your food during these days: the fattening food is necessary for the diet to work correctly and more importantly to re-establish the structural fat thatʼs been reduced or lost by years of fad-dieting. The more you eat in this phase, the better results you are going to have. Those who do not load to the fullest may also experience difficult hunger pains throughout the low calorie diet (VLCD phase). You SHOULD gain weight on the loading days. You will lose it all within the first week, probably even the first few days! ๏ The Gorge prepares the body for the following low calorie phase of the program, where your body will be burning the available long term fat reserves as fuel, the abnormal fat deposits. Loading is invaluable so use it well and
enjoy these two days fully! Some people may need to gorge for more than 2 days if they have been nutritionally depleted. Here are some healthy options for loading high in desirable fats and carbohydrates that are converted into fats. ✓ Avocados: Guacamole with spicy chilli sauce, organic mayonnaise or yoghurt. ✓ Butter, ghee, soft cheeses, sour cream, cream - use to improve the taste of all meals, especially roasted vegetables. ✓ Saturated fats from organic meats, pates, stocks and also premium dairy products. ✓ Organic cold pressed oils: use lots of avocado oil, coconut oil, olive oil, sesame oil on everything! ✓Nuts: almonds, walnuts, macadamia, pecans, pine nuts. Soak overnight in water to dissolve the enzyme inhibitors and improve digestibility. ✓Seeds: Pumpkin, pepitas, sesame, sunflower. You can
Beyond Slim - www.BeyondSlim.com.au
even fry with butter or ghee or make tahini. ✓ Coconut: oil, water, cream, meat - contain lauric acid which supports thyroid function, anti parasitic and raises metabolism. ✓ Anti pastas and olives: You can eat these stuffed with soft cheeses or even tahini. Want More to Eat? Brown rice, raw honey, corn, dried fruits, fruit, sweet potato, pumpkin and parsnips, sprouted Essene or sourdough breads, lathered in nut butters, butter or other luxurious healthy toppings. What Foods Should You Avoid? Sugar, packaged and processed foods especially those containing trans-fats and preservatives as they have damaging health effects. Itʼs also best to avoid wheat and milk as they tend to cause stress on the body and have been linked to many food sensitivities as well as specific d i s e a s e s . Yo u c a n c h o o s e whatever beverage to drink on the loading days, including alcohol and soft drinks (if you must).

Beyond Slim Phase 2
Day 3: Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) Fat Burning Phase Now is the time to get focused and controlled. On the third day, introduce the well planned VLCD (very low calorie diet) with 500 calories/day whilst you continue the FM dietary drops. Your body will interpret this as a danger, even though there is no danger, and the hypothalamus will go into a burn/ emergency mode. The hypothalamus will then signal the need to access the normally locked away, unwanted fat reserves, to provide for your energy needs. Fat Burning In the presence of the FM bioenergetic dietary supplement, the low calorie diet will stimulate the release of the long term stored fat reserves, and you will find that you are surprisingly not hungry. This will release about 1500 to 3000 calories into your blood stream per day to use as energy and nutrition depending on your needs. However you will need to begin a disciplined approach to eating small, regular Fat Burn Meals or snacks and begin your dedicated approach to water consumption. Your resting metabolic rate will be between 1700 and 2700 calories per day, depending on your sex, age, level of activity, thyroid function etc. You may need increased calories if you are very active or participate in strenuous exercise. Water You need at least 2 + litres a day to enable the fat burn process, so sip, sip, sip. Stick to the Plan If you want great results, stick to the plan as much as possible. Keep drinking and always have a ready
source of fresh water nearby and sip and refill as your new ritual throughout the day. It is best to plan your food for the day and pack in advance if necessary. Measure & weigh Measure and weigh every day at approximately the same time and record in your journal. Keep a journal of any emotions, challenges or insights that arise during the program, as you may be surprised with what comes up. Metabolic Boosting Take all supportive metabolic boosting products. Testing Test your urine with Ketostix and record reading. If no colour or trace is indicated, do not eat any fruit or tomatoes during that day. The ketone colour reading indicates the traces of ketone being excreted and indicates the degree of fat burning taking place. So we are aiming for an optimum level as often as possible. Test your saliva and urine pH at least 3 hours after meals (NOT the early morning sample) and record. If you find that you are acidic (pH <6.4), then you may need to add in a metabolic alkaliser or take some alkaline greens.

Beyond Slim Phase 3
Phase 3 • 3rd Day 1200 calories @ 250 grams protein
Transition “Low Starch Maintenance Phase”
Steak Day:
This Transitional phase is 3 weeks duration. The ultimate purpose of the phase 3 is to lock in a new set point for your metabolism, the hypothalamus control system, and t o r e fi n e f u r t h e r y o u r understanding and awareness of the key problematic foods in your past dietary practices. The key to success is simple – no sugars, no starch. No FM dietary drops are taken in the maintenance phase, but you can continue the other metabolic boosters.
Guidelines The 3 days at the beginning of Phase 3 are critical to the resetting of your hypothalamus. The 3 days or 72 hours begin after your last FM dietary drops dosage. Continue a calorie build from 800 - 1000- 1200each day during this 72 hour period, however an extra apple or an extra 150 grams of meat is allowed if you feel much hungrier or lack energy. Resume eating a healthy diet without serious calorie restriction. Weigh yourself first thing in the morning and record daily during this 3 week period. A fluctuation of ½ to 1 kg is normal at this point. This will be your weight allowance for 3 weeks. If you do gain 1kg or more during this stage, you must correct the problem on the day the scales show the1kg increase. This can be done with a steak day, as outlined shortly. Deviation from
this protocol can cause weight gain. Avoid sugars and excessive GI starches (carbohydrates) during this phase. Increase your protein and healthy fat consumption during this phase Increase your calorie intake to normal levels during this phase. Do not tightly restrict your calories. Record in a food diary, all foods that you reintroduce in order to be analytical about any possible food sensitivities that will cause fluid retention.
Daily food plan suggestion Lunch/Dinner: • 1st Day 800 calories @ 150 grams protein • 2nd Day 1000 calories @ 200 grams protein
Beyond Slim - www.BeyondSlim.com.au
A steak day starts by skipping breakfast and lunch. You must do this on that same day (not the next day). Continue to consume plenty of water and healthy beverages. For dinner, eat a large steak with either an apple or raw tomato. Thatʼs it, a steak day. If you find it difficult to abstain from eating until dinner then have the steak or high protein meal as a late lunch. As an alternative to steak consider a large protein shake. If this is done correctly, the scales should show an immediate drop of approximately 500gm overnight. New Set Point Itʼs important to remain within 1 kilo of your last FM dietary drops dosage weight in either direction. The reason is you are creating a new Set Point and need a stable weight and basic metabolic rate (BMR) for a sustained period. Therefore this 3 week phase 3 is the critical phase for resetting your hypothalamus. During this phase you can supplement your diet with healthy fats and proteins to reach a caloric level that would support your new lower weight and metabolism. However, absolutely no carbohydrates or sugars. Do record everything that gets reintroduced into your diet. The most common sources of food sensitivities we have observed are with dairy foods, nuts and grains. Grains are off the list, so be watchful of your response to all dairy and nut consumption, especially process, low fat or even

pasteurized products. Hidden food sensitivities can cause a potential fluid retention response by the body and weight gain. Resist the temptation to introduce too many new foods at once. Introduce foods selectively, one at a time so you can identify any reactive foods that causes a weight gain or a digestive reaction.
such as pizza, ice cream, or healthy desserts and casseroles in your future, just not the junk food varieties you have eaten in the past. For healthy maintenance following the program, our tip is to make healthier, choices and avoid the junk.
Begin by increasing protein, stocks and broths, ghee, olive oil, fruit and low GI vegetables during the first few days. Introduce foods like nuts and dairy one at a time so you can identifyany negative food reactions or isolate “problem” foods quickly and easily.
Learn to love your body. You may have always struggled with your weight, self esteem, and confidence. Now is the time to change all of that. Treat yourself with respect and enjoy this new lifestyle and the thinner, healthier body you have achieved so far.
Make sure to take in a reasonable amount of calories as soon as you begin phase 3 of the diet because, as you are no longer burning your fat stores for fuel, your body requires energy and proper nutrition to function properly. Do not push to lose more weight during maintenance where stability is paramount or you may have disastrous results, start to gain weight again, or end up with health and nutrition issues. Follow the plan exactly as instructed and you should be successful.
Visualize yourself at your goal weight wearing a beautiful new dress or sharp tailored suit. See yourself with the body youʼve always wanted. Imagine the scale registering your goal weight and be proud of all youʼve accomplished thus far. It does takes some mental effort to see yourself as a slender person but the process of visualization combined with a strong desire for success is a powerful means to achieve your weight loss goals.
You No Longer have Cravings
Tips for Success
Many people notice when they begin the phase 3 portion of the program that they no longer crave the breads, starches, and sugars that they used to find so appealing. Embrace this experience. Make a choice to change your lifestyle. Eat more fruits and vegetables, healthy proteins and fats. Allow yourself to give up processed food products and fast foods. It is these foods that caused you to gain weight in the first place. Enjoy the taste of whole, natural and organic foods. There are delicious, healthy versions of any food you enjoy
Stay Positive
✓ Avoid all starches and sugars for the three weeks of the phase 3 part of the program then introduce healthy carbohydrates back into your diet slowly as you begin the Phase 4 Maintenance phase of the program. ✓ Enjoy eggs, cheese, dairy, healthy fats, and more variety of non-starchy vegetables and fruits. ✓ You may enjoy an alcoholic beverage such as wine, beer or liquor with meals during phase 3.
Beyond Slim - www.BeyondSlim.com.au
However, avoid sweet mixers, liqueurs, and dessert alcohols. ✓ Avoid very sweet fresh and dried fruits due to the high sugar content. ✓ Avoid starchy root vegetables such as potatoes, winter squash, pumpkin, parsnip, corn, beans, beets, peas and lentils. No grains or foods made from grains. Also avoid processed meats (deli meats, ham, prosciutto, sausage) and trans-fats, which means avoid anything processed. ✓ Check ingredients and labels as you shop to avoid ingesting starch or sugars. ✓ Limit your use of nuts. Small amounts in recipes will be okay. Check the starch content of the nuts and remove the skins if possible. ✓ Eat organic foods as much as possible and avoid fast food restaurants and processed foods. ✓ Avoid artificial sweeteners and sodas. ✓ Do a steak day if you go over 1 kg of your last FM dietary drops dose weight. It is of utmost importance that the meals skipped are on the same day as the scale registers an increase of more than 1 kg and that missing meals are not postponed until the following day. ✓ If this weight loss is not rectified (due to having light meals not skipping of meals) then several days of strict dieting may be necessary to correct the situation. ✓ Avoid losing weight during phase 3. You want to maintain your loss within 1 kg of your last FM dietary drops dose weight in either direction.

Beyond Slim Phase 4 Breakfast: Cereals and/or fruit juices are some of the worst foods that you can eat for breakfast. The dominant part of your breakfast must be protein followed by NON starchy vegetables and some fruit. Over time your body will create a “set point”. Even though your weight may go up and down it will remain remarkably fixed if you follow this plan.
Guidelines for healthy nutrition long term • Incorporate a plant based diet with vegetables, fruits and whole grains. These foods contain invaluable micronutrients, phytochemicals, antioxidants and fibre. Minimum daily fibre intake should be 30 grams. • Reduce fat intake to 15-20% of total calories. Choose healthpromoting fats (essential fatty acids) and avoid saturated and hydrogenated (trans-) fats. • Eat adequate protein (0.8 g/kg body weight daily) from lean sources; including wild fish from cold, deep-water, organic poultry and eggs, legumes, low-fat fermented dairy products,nuts and seeds. • Eliminate the intake of refined sugar and refined carbohydrates, processed foods, alcohol and caffeine. • Reduce exposure to pesticides and herbicides. Buy organic whenever possible. Fresh food is always preferable to frozen food and frozen food is always preferable to canned food.
• Drink adequate water—generally 2-3 litres daily (depending on your weight). • Identify and eliminate food allergies, intolerances and sensitivities.
Follow Up Rounds of Beyond Slim Many individuals completing the program plan on doing a second, third or more round. If this is the case, then it is with experience that we ask you to consider additional coaching and detox support to prepare your body effectively before another round. It is ideal to support the liver, the lymphatic flow and bowel for a period in between the rounds of dietary drops.
• Eliminate the intake of artificial food additives, colours and preservatives.
Such steps will assist to promote more effective weight loss in the coming rounds, by ensuring that toxic or acidic waste accumulations from previous systems are effectively eliminated. That way, there are no inhibitions to your continued success. The system does push the body into a coerced stated of fat elimination and so by its nature increases certain natural byproducts. If these are not eliminated effectively during the program, they get stored, awaiting removal.
• Keep salt intake low and potassium intake (in green leafy vegetables) high.
By proper preparation and detox, it will assist in the long term reconstruction of your overall wellbeing and vitality.

Commonly Asked Q’s & A’s Food: Q. How Much ʻVegetablesʼ Can I Actually Eat? A. It is not easy to get the right quantity of vegetables worked out exactly. Fortunately, there is a fair degree of scope for adjustment. Remember that one of the main reasons for continued hunger is insufficient vegetables. The vegetables on the list are what is commonly referred to as "negative calorie" vegetables, which means that your body will burn more calories to digest them than you actually obtain from them (which is rather handy), and the fibre content is essential to keep the bowels moving comfortably. The calorie content of most of these vegetables is low, so you have plenty of scope to be generous here. Q. Is all meat the same calorie count? A. Meat calories will vary according to the type of meat, beef being the highest calorie content. Consumption is approximately 90 160 calories per meal depending on the meat chosen. This means around 300 calories or less from meat per day. The two fruit will provide approximately 70-80 calories, giving a total of 300-400 calories depending on your choices for the day. So you are left with roughly 100-200 calories to make up the vegetables intake. Now this is a substantial caloric amount for the permitted vegetables, so you can usually be relatively generous!
Q. What can I use if I want a bulky meal in winter? A. Looking quickly at a calorie counter (included with your program), you will find that tomato has about 13 calories per 100grams, the same as spinach and asparagus. 100gms of celery also provides 13 calories, and cucumber is a calorie treat at 8 calories per 100grams. If you really want to lash out, lettuce is only 7 calories per 100grams, and a sprinkle of salt, pepper and apple cider vinegar can really brings out the taste of lettuce. In addition, steaming, boiling the vegetables can put some wonderful flavours into the cooking water that can be additionally seasoned, thereby providing a fulfilling soupy addition to the meal. Q. How can I add flavour and stick to the programme? A. Using plenty of spices and herbs are important during this journey where your system is being driven to dig deep into its

reserves. Salt, pepper, apple cider vinegar, mustard powder, cayenne pepper, turmeric, garlic and onion powder, oregano, sweet basil, p a r s l e y, t h y m e , m a r j o r a m , coriander…all of these and other spices should be used generously for seasoning as they provide antioxidant support as well as flavour. Salt may be a problem if fluid retention is strong. Q. Do I have to exclude all fats? A. You need to avoid the oils, butter, mayonnaise or dressings but you are allowed 1 teaspoon of the MCT oil daily Q. What about sugar or sweeteners? A. Remember to avoid no sweeteners other than stevia. Some people have got away with very small amounts of xylitol successfully, but only explore this option if you are vigilant as well as adventurous.

items, so fresh prawns & oysters may become a great restaurant snack. Keep plenty of chilled mineral water and serve it in a stemmed glass, so it feels like a special drink. Herbal teas are a welcome beverage change but look for organic blends, and the same with coffees. Avoid coffee in the evenings as it may prove too stimulating and may interfere with your regular sleep. If you are not a regular coffee drinker, then we have found it can be too stimulating to introduce to your VLCD. However, if a regular coffee drinker we recommend organic and freshly ground and only up to midday or early afternoon. Q. How can I use the CHI Bio-energized MCT oil supplied? A. Cook with it, add it in your salad as a dressing, and include it in your protein shake. It helps with Ketosis, energy levels, appetite suppression and bowel movement, so a total of 2 teaspoons a day and no more. Q. What makes it different from other oils? A. MCT stands for medium chain triglycerides. Most naturally occurring fats are triglycerides - tri meaning that each molecule have three carbon chains. In the medium chain triglycerides each chain has 6 - 12 carbon atoms, and for the medically refined grades of MCT oil each chain has 8 10 carbon atoms. Q. Can I include any other foods? A. It is critical that you do not add foods that are not listed & allowed, as all things not listed are likely to switch off the effect of the Fat Metaboliser drops and the fat burning process and may compromise your outcome. So don始t be tempted or persuaded. Q. What Can We Do About Our Diet When We Are Eating Out Or Travelling? A. When eating out, simply request a grilled selection of meat protein, with a particular request for absolutely no oil be used and always request lemon/lime on the s i d e f o r a d d e d fl a v o u r . I f vegetables offered are not on the permissible list, then request a salad without dressing and again lemon on the side. Don始t forget that you have many allowable seafood
MCT oils occur naturally, and the most abundant source is coconut oil. Most MCT oil is refined from coconut oil. MCT oil is interesting because, when it is metabolized in the body, it behaves more like a carbohydrate than a fat. Carbohydrates are quick acting - athletes take glucose tablets to provide energy, the body heats rapidly when we drink alcohol - typically carbohydrates will be used within a few hours of eating, which is why we eat so frequently. By contrast, the primary role of fats is to store energy - animals fatten up to prepare for the rigor of winter. The body normally tries to store the fats we eat, but will use them as fuel if there is not enough fuel available from carbohydrates. First it will use the fats in the food, and if these are insufficient it will start to deplete the fat storage in our body tissue. Fats metabolize more slowly and typically it will take a day or so for the fat content of food to be used. That is why we feel full after a fatty meal, and why it really is a good thing to line to stomach with milk before drinking the fat slows down the metabolism of the alcohol. Long chain fats (i.e. the normal varieties) are converted into chemicals called chylomicrons by the digestive system, and these are then transported around the body by the lymphatic system before entering the circulatory system. This is a relatively slow process, and so fats metabolize more slowly than carbohydrates. Unlike other fats, MCT oil does not go into the lymphatic system; instead it is transported directly to the liver where it is metabolized, so releasing energy quickly, just like a carbohydrate, and creating lots of ketones in the process.

Researchers came up with this test after they discovered that just having a little extra weight isnʼt always a problem. Itʼshow that weight is distributed on your bodythat can make a big difference. Itʼs called your Waist to Hip Ratio. For weight to be c o n s i d e r e d h e a l t h y, w o m e n should have a waist-to-hip ratio of less than 0.8. A healthy waist-tohip ratio for men is less than 0.9.
Q. What hot drinks are recommended? A. Yerba mate tea, green tea, black tea, white tea, herbal teas or mineral water are all allowable drinks on the recommended list. Q. How much water is optimum and why? A. We recommend you drink at least two, even three litres of pure, filtered water or mineral water per day. This will help you to drain and detoxify metabolic debris and cellular wastes which builds up in the body over time. Adding in additional 1-2 litres of herbal beverages will support your antioxidant status, kidney and elimination functions even further. Many people are not used to drinking much water and have to train their body hydrate by sipping water frequently every 10-15 minutes throughout the day. Many people think drinking so much will cause the body to store more water, making weight loss more difficult. On the contrary, the body is more l i k e l y t o s t o r e fl u i d s w h e n consumption of water falls below its needed requirements. And water is vital to the body for hydration as well as flushing out stored toxins. Do this protocol perfectly and be greatly rewarded!

The goal is to have the ratio, or Body Mass Index (BMI) equal about 22, although it should be noted that anything under 25 is considered healthy. Over 25 is considered overweight and over 30 is considered obese. Researchers have found that the lowest combined rate of heart disease, diabetes, strokes, and even death occurred in men whose BMI was between 20 and 23.9. Once your BMI gets higher than that, disease and death rates start rising about 10 percent per index point - or about every 3 to 4 kg for most people (depending on height). Waist to Hip Ratio: Measurement and definition of central adiposity. Central adiposity as measured by waist hip ratio (WHR) can be calculated from measurements undertaken at the clinic of waist and hip circumference using a standard measuring tape.

a key to access your Abnormal Fat Fixed Deposit (AFFD). The Fat Burn process accesses fat that has accumulated around the normal ʻsize areaʼ of the body. The results are likely to return you to your pre-AFFD body contour or shape. This is why the first developer of this programme Dr. Simeons, entitled his original 1950ʼs manuscript & scientific paper Pounds and Inches.
✴ Lack of exercise Note: thus TOXINS in the 21st century can cause an abnormal hypothalamus. Primary causes can come from a myriad of things ranging from yeast, fungus, excess caloric intake, toxic load, stress, electromagnetic radiation, chemicals, allergies, infections and genetics etc. All of these factors can cause hormonal imbalances, including a sluggish adrenals and thyroid compounding the problem. Q. What is Happening When I Begin the VLCD? A. The swap to VLCD will trigger the mobilization & burning of fat from connective tissue & fat reserves (adipose tissue) which increases your energy levels and leads to rapid weight loss. This can be up to ½ kilo a day and a lot of centimetres. Remember fat is a great source of nutritious energy, as many nutrients are locked away with the stored fat and so released for use. Q. Why Does The Hypothalamus Get Involved? A. The main function of the Hypothalamus is Homeostasis. In other words, to maintain the bodyʼs status quo and control all the automatic functions of the body such as: • Pituitary gland regulation & the whole interplay of endocrine glands.
Q. What Does The Hypothalamus Have To Do With Being Overweight?
• Ovarian & testicular function. • Mood, behavioural functions & sleep patterns. • Hunger & salt cravings, plus feeding reflexes. Control of the regulatory mechanism and determining the set point that affects hunger, metabolism and the body fat burn and fat storage rate. The hypothalamus receives constant inputs about the state of the body, and is able to initiate or make adjustments/changes if any basic indicator gets out of whack. Factors such as blood pressure, body weight & body temperature, establish a body set point. This set point may fluctuate over time but it will remain remarkably fixed and is one of the key factors behind the unwanted fat you are currently targeting with the Beyond Slim program.
• Breathing, heart rate, digestion, sleep, sex.
Your achievable set point may be the last stable metabolic rate set by your body. However, if your target is even more weight loss, then a second cycle may be needed to achieve this new set point.

It is likely that the Hypothalamus can easily become dysfunctional due to the larger quantities and poorer quality of food being consumed and due to the accumulated toxins and stress we are exposed to in our daily environment. In the presence of regular overeating or excessive energy supply, it seems to lose the natural triggering response to fullness or having a satisfied eating response or satiety. It does not appear to receive this input about the extra energy or overfeeding. Once this dysfunctional pattern starts, it is hard to lose adipose tissue or fat thereafter. Over time even eating small amounts of food can cause weight increase because of this dysfunction. This can become a never-ending cycle. Many people report even after eating a big meal they donʼt feel satisfied, but their food cravings continue. In fact, Dr Simeons reported that almost all chronically obese candidates are chronically hungry, which is the vicious fat cycle at its worst. It appears that almost everything the Hypothalamus does is related in some way to controlling weight loss. So when the hypothalamus is dysfunctional, food becomes increasingly more

important and yet increasingly unfulfilling.We end up never feeling satisfied with the foods we have eaten, gradually eating more to compensate. From a metabolic standpoint, the Hypothalamus not only governs the motivation to eat, but most importantly how eating is experienced & interpreted by the body. However, working with the Beyond Slim program, the Hypothalamus will begin to provide the key to access this abnormal fat, or ʻshape fatʼ and release its calories for fuel.

Point, which may then need to be overridden on the first or even second cycle.
Q. What Might Cause Fluctuations in My Weight Loss?
2.Menstruation: Another interruption often occurs a few days before and during the menstrual period and in some women at the time of ovulation. If a woman becomes pregnant during treatment – and this is by no means uncommon – she will at once cease to lose weight. In this case, stop your Metabolic Booster& do a pregnancy test five days later, no sooner or a false positive may be registered. Oral contraceptives may be used during treatment.
After the fourth or fifth day of dieting, the daily loss of weight begins to decrease to one pound or somewhat less per day, and there is a smaller urinary output. Men often continue to lose regularly at that rate, but women tend to be more irregular in spite of faultless dieting. There may be no drop at all for two or three days and then a sudden loss, which re-establishes the normal average. These fluctuations are more likely variations of retention and elimination of water, which, are more marked in women than in men. If in doubt, test for ketones, and a positive test result indicates you are still burning fat.Remember that you are living on the abnormal fat you are losing rather than on your very restricted caloric intake.
Interruptions to the programme: Q. What If I have Interruptions to My Weight Loss/Adherence to the Program? 1.Past Fixed Degree of Obesity: If, some period of your life, you have maintained acertain fixed degree of obesity for five years or more & at some time rapidly increased beyond that weight, then in the course of treatment the former level is reached. It may take two weeks of no loss, in spite of your booster products and diet, before further reduction is normally resumed. This may be related to reaching a previously established Set
Beyond Slim - www.BeyondSlim.com.au
3.Dietary Errors: If you have weight gain, it is 99% because you have strayed from the diet plan, unless it happens on or about the day of ovulation or during the three days preceding the onset of menstruation, in which case, ignore it. It cannot be emphasized enough that to average a daily loss of .5 to 1 kg a day, you must follow the regimen strictly. 4.Cheating: People are always surprised at gaining weight the following day from a salted almond, a couple of potato chips, a small glass of tomato juice or an extra orange. The smallest error is immediately detectable at the daily weighing, but most people have to go through the experience before they believe it. Do NOT cheat, as it is a waste of time and money and NOT WORTH IT! Know that if you cheat, you will gain more than you would not on a programme. To get your mind off of wanting to cheat, focus your attention on something else. You can take a walk, go to the library, movie

theatre, or visit with friends. It is also nice to find a support system, whether it is through an online group (visit here), a buddy who is following the diet with you, family member(s), etc. Just make sure you have someone to stop you from cheating.
2 instructions here and start Phase 3 at your current weight. • You may also want to take measurements and compare to those you took before the Protocol to find that you have lost centimetres, even though the scale hasn't budged! • You may have reached a stage where the reduction begins to happen onlyevery other day or two. This is typical after the first week or so and no cause for alarm.
Create a cabinet in your kitchen which supports your diet. Store your teas, stevia, apple cider vinegar, miracle noodles, etc. and use this special place to “snack” with items that are all allowed on the protocol. Do NOT create your own substitutions. Dr Simeons created a specific list of foods to eat and studied each food intensely. It needs to be precisely followed. 5.Unforseen Interruptions: If an interruption occurs to your program lasting >4 days, then you must increase your diet to at least 800 calories by adding meat, eggs, cheese and milk to your diet after the third day, otherwise you will find yourself hungry and weak. If the interval lasts <2 weeks, then you can directly resume the programme and the 500 calorie diet. If the interruption lasts longer, then you must again eat normally until you have had your third Fat Metabolic dose. Interruptions occurring before 20 effective Fat Metabolic doses are to be avoided if possible as some weight is liable to be regained afterwards. After the 20th Fat Metabolic dosing, an unavoidable interruption is only a loss of time.
Stalling, Stopping or slowing down Fat Burning: Q. What do I do if I stop burning Fat? A. When you stall or gain, here are some things to consider: • Your body might have decided that your current weight is your 'normal' weight. Dr Simeons tells us in 'Pounds & Inches' that you cannot reduce below that weight using a hormone. Though you may really want to lose those extra 5 kilos, if your hypothalamus has decided otherwise, the booster products will stop working and you will start to have real hunger, because it will no longer be able to get the extra calories that stave off the hunger from 'abnormal fat stores' when they no longer exist! If that is the case, Simeons advises that you increase calories to 800 for the rest of the Protocol, but if you are near the end of your round, I recommend you finish your course according toPhase
Beyond Slim - www.BeyondSlim.com.au
• You may not be drinking enough water. It is *required* that you drink at least 2 litres of water daily. 3 litres is even better. • You can do an 'apple day'. Eat nothing but up to 6 apples for one day, and only as much water as you feel you need (some only eat the apples and don't want any more water). This will release water weight, and show a loss most times. It is a purely psychological thing, but it helps many people feel better and 'break' their stall. • Get enough sleep. Sleep is *essential* to proper weight loss under this program. If you're not getting enough sleep, your body will retain weight because it isn't properly rested. • You may be consuming more than 500 calories daily unknowingly. Hence use a calorie tracker to calculate your daily consumption. • If you eat more salt in the food you prepare, and your body isn't used to thatsodium level, your blood volume will increase to handle the extra salt, which will translate into a gain because you're retaining water to boost
20
Beyond Slim
that blood volume. In other words, watch your salt intake. • Remember what Simeons said about losing. You lose fat from the body cells but the cells do not disappear at the same time. The cell structure is still present for two to three days while the body breaks down the cellulose and fills the cell with water in order to release it (through urine). Once the fat cell is removed, the scale will drop. • Sensitivity/allergies to foods (like lemons) may cause weight stalls. Listen to your body. The guru is you! Remember that spices also have calories. • Pay attention to weight gains, they usually signify a mishap in the protocol, like not drinking enough water, eating too many/ too few calories, too much salt, or (inadvertently) eating foods not allowed on the protocol. • In women, menstrual periods increase water retention, and water weight shows on the scale. If you know you are following the plan and are not cheating, you just need to accept that the stall/gain is temporary and continue to follow the protocol. The drop will happen once themenstrual cycle is normalized in the body. • If you are following the programme to a "T" and have no other explanations for a stall/ gain, look at your life and the levels of stress. Stress causes cortisol which hinders weight loss and/or causes you to gain weight. Try to remain calm and stress-free.
Cosmetics: Q. Are There Any Restrictions On My Use Of Cosmetics/ Skin Care? A. When weight loss is not forthcoming, then cosmetics may also be the reason. Personal care products and cosmetics CAN and DO frequently interfere with weight reduction. The fats, oils, creams and ointments applied to the skin are absorbed just as if they have been eaten. Remember our skin is the largest organ of human body and has great absorptive properties. Many skin care products have preservatives and chemical ingredients which can adversely affect the functioning of the hypothalamus and thyroid gland. Q. What are suitable or ideal products to use? A. We formulate our own suitable organic skin care products that may help you on this program. Current estimates are that you absorb an average of over 160 chemicals through your skin every day.

Surviving the VLCD (500 calorie diet) Q. What are the best tips to keep me motivated and on track during this part of the programme? A. 1.If your brain is used to so much glucose that you cannot concentrate well, try Lglutamine, the amino acid, which acts just like sugar in the brain. 2.If you are experiencing muscle twitches, you can try taking some extra magnesium.
remember that fat cells store hormones, pesticides, and other toxins. When the body canʼt release the toxins through urine or sweat, it will lock the toxin into the fat cells to prevent the toxin from taking over your body. When you lose weight the abnormal fat cells are released which means that the toxins are simultaneously released and released into the bloodstream. If you had an experience with something in the past that gave you a problem, like a rash, it is probable that the weight loss will cause the problem to come back as the toxin (problem) is released. This is a good thing because it means the body is ridding itself of the stored toxins. Also remember that many skin disorders have their root in the colon, therefore cleansing it can alleviate or eliminate the skin disorders.
3.As strange as this may sound, vigorous exercise causes your weight loss to slow down. Exercise builds muscle mass which weighs more than fat, so you still burn fat, but you stay at the same weight. Dr. Simeons explains in Pounds and Inches: “The muscles have retention of water which the tired circulation cannot at once eliminate.” He also advises to not exert yourself while on the VLCD, anything more than a game of Fat : tennis, a vigorous swim, a run, Q. Are there different types of a ride on horseback or a round Fat? of golf is too much. A. Yes: 4.If something strange suddenly appears on the programme • Structural Fat- This kind of fat fills the gap between various (like rashes, acne, etc.),

organs, a sort of packing material. It protects coronary arteries and keeps skin smooth and taut. We all need this kind of fat for our health and protection. • Normal Reserve of Fat - This fat is what the body freely draws from. With this kind of fat as normal reserve in most cases the body contour (shape) is still visible. Normal Reserve fat is a nutritional form of energy. • Abnormal Fat Reserve - This is typically adipose tissue. This kind of fat accumulation is the type that the overweight patient suffers from. Even though it is a potential source of energy or fuel, unlike the normal reserve it is not available to the body in a nutritional emergency. It is as though a key has been lost to unlock this fixed deposit and hard to lose fat reserve. Q . W h a t i s t h e k e y To Metabolizing Abnormal Fat Reserves? A. The Hormone dosages in the metabolic boosters &and the hypothalamus provide a KEY. In combination, they open a door which allows access to hard to lose FAT. It is like unlocking a safe. The metabolic Boosters will

metabolize stored Abnormal Body Fat, about 2000 -2500 calories of abnormal fat is released a day! That is almost a pound (and inches) daily. Q. Why Am I Not Hungry On This VLCD? (500 Calorie per Day Diet or Very Low Calorie Diet) A. When on this program your body doesnʼt have to tell itself it is hungry. Your body is actually using 2500-3000 calories a day. That is why you can lose up to 1 lb or ½ kilo a day. Your bodyʼs skin also shrinks as well. That is why you do not end up with stretch marks from the rapid weight loss.
Ketones Q. What are these and why am I testing for them? A. These are a test that indicate Fat Burn very reliably. Test First in the Morning Urine. Test on Day two and three of the VLCD (so day 4 & 5 of the program) and if you are in a plateau. If you are not showing ketones and not losing weight or inches, eliminate all fruit from your diet for the next 48 hours then test again in AM. If still no ketones are registering, eliminate all tomatoes AND fruit from the diet for the next 48 hours and then test in AM. If still not showing ketones AND not losing weight and or inches, speak to one of our consultants. The abnormal fat stores accumulate fat as very long fatty acids. Theyʼre ordinarily difficult to break down because theyʼre so long. When the body must use its fat stores for energy (our goal to lose weight), these fat cells begin to release the long fatty acids into the blood to be used as fuel, particularly by the brain, the fatty acids go to the liver where they are literally cut into two carbon fragments (ketoacids.)
This is the only metabolic pathway for fat breakdown (lipolysis.) Therefore, there is no lipolysis without ketosis, no ketosis without lipolysis. The two terms are biologically linked and, therefore, it is appropriate that they be linguistically linked. So being in ketosis simply means that youʼre burning your fat stores and using them as the source of fuel they were meant to be. This is where the test strips come in... TWO REASONS why you test. While they are in no way the only way to full proof your diet, most of us feel more secure with a way to test to know if we are in ketosis at any given time and at what level. The test strips provide a quick and private way to determine that. Urine can be collected in a clean disposable cup or simply held under the urine stream and removed immediately. Simply dip the reagent end of the strip into a urine specimen. Tap edge of strip to remove excess liquid and check colour within 10-15 seconds against the colour chart provided on all test strip brandsʼ bottles. A beige or cream colour indicates NO KETOSIS detected. Any shade of pink/purple indicates some level of ketones in the urine.Some people get very hung up on the fact that their friendʼs/husbandʼs/ daughterʼs etc strip shows a darker colour all the time, etc. We are all different. Some of us lose better
They are then utilized (burned) by many tissues, including the brain. The brain operates just as well on a diet of ketoacids as it does on glucose. Whatʼs left (the incompletely burned fragments) are called ketones, and they are what spill into the urine to be swept from the body. This also why drinking water is a must on the Beyond Slim diet as urinating expels ketones.When the body is in the fat burning state — where it has no carbohydrate to burn and is breaking down body fat for fuel, the body is in a state of ketosis-lipolysis (ketosis for short.)
