Canadian Population
60% of Canadian adults have a weight problem Being overweight has become a global epidemic, affecting about a billion people worldwide. In Canada, during the 2007 to 2009 period, just under 38% of adults were at a healthy weight, about 1% were underweight, and 61% were overweight. According to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada (2003), “the increasing number of overweight Canadians now poses one of the greatest threats ever to public health in this country”*. Carrying extra weight increases the risk for certain health conditions. It also impacts your self-esteem and confidence and can dampen your desire to participate in activities you enjoy.

By the Numbers
Where to Start
Don’t wait for your weight to lead to other health problems. Use these three numbers to assess your current weight.
The NUTRILITE® approach to losing weight is designed to encourage lasting lifestyle changes. We don’t encourage quick fixes that will help you lose weight and likely gain it all back once you stop severely limiting calories or exercising strenuously for hours on end.
1. Calculate your body mass index, or BMI (see formula below). Over 25? That’s a good sign you need to do something about your weight, although people with a large percentage of muscle mass may get a skewed result.
Turn the page if you’re ready to change your life.
2. Measure your waist circumference with a tape measure. Over 35 inches for women or over 40 inches for men is another sign to take control. 3. Look at your family health history. If you have two or more risk factors such as high blood pressure or you are physically inactive and your BMI is higher than the healthy range, it is recommended that you lose weight.
Here’s an easy formula for calculating BMI.
BMI =
Weight (in pounds) x 703 Height2 (in inches)
18.5–24.9 = Normal 25–29 = Overweight 30–39 = Obese 40 and higher = Extremely Obese

Lose weight the healthy way. The NUTRILITE® Weight Management Program offers three comprehensive eating plans that each include a full 28 days of nutritional supplements, meal replacement options, snacks, and a customized eating plan journal. So, which one is right for you? All three are healthy and well-balanced, incorporating whole grains, lean proteins, and lots of fruits and vegetables. Each plan starts you off at 1,500 calories per day and you can adjust your caloric intake up or down to 1,200 or 1,800 calories to fit your needs by simply eliminating or adding food exchanges, which are detailed in each eating plan journal. Each plan is based on a specific proportion of carbohydrates, protein, and fat. See how they differ and choose the plan that you feel you can best stick to based on your eating preferences.

Lisa did it!* IBO Review Lisa Land lost 22 pounds** and 12% body fat by following the Carb Reducer meal plan, adhering to the 4-3-2-1 workout plan (see page 15), and supplementing with NUTRILITE® Carb Blocker 2, INVISIFIBER® supplement, and NUTRILITE nutrition and snack bars. She said she has more personal confidence in day-to-day interactions and her energy levels have skyrocketed. “My energy is high all the time. Movement is easier. Confidence in things I try is everywhere,” she said. “I believe I’ve been successful because I’ve been exercising and eating the right way for my body,” she said. Lisa also liked the comprehensive approach to weight loss that Nutrilite focuses on. “It’s a broader perspective. It focuses on the eating plan, which focuses on eating real food; it’s supplements that fill the gaps (in my diet), it’s food products to help, again, fill those gaps and actually fit my lifestyle,” Lisa explains.

Marshall did it!* IBO review In 12 weeks, Marshall Johnson lost 20** pounds following the Better Balancer meal plan and 4-3-2-1 workouts (see next page). His efforts were supplemented with NUTRILITE® Carb Blocker 2, INVISIFIBER® supplement, and NUTRILITE nutrition and snack bars. Marshall played professional football in the 1970s and said gaining back some of his former athleticism has increased his confidence and opened his eyes to a new way of life. “I feel better, my health has improved, and my fitness has improved. I don’t feel like I’m dragging extra weight around anymore. I feel like a new person and I’ve recaptured some of my youthful energy,” he said. The NUTRILITE approach to weight loss – making lifestyle changes over temporary fixes – resonated with Marshall, who said following the plan was simple as everything was all laid out for him. “It’s a way of life now. It’s not just something to do, it’s a way of living. I rearranged my priorities and followed the plan that was set before me. It was very feasible, and I am an example that a single person can succeed on this program,” he explains.

Fast Fitness When you’re trying to lose weight, sometimes it feels like there’s just too much to learn – a new way of eating, trying to go to the gym for hours at a time, remembering to take the right support supplements. By trying to do too much, too soon, you might get discouraged and quit altogether. That’s why the NUTRILITE® approach to weight loss focuses on fast fitness, so you can work out in the convenience of your own home, using equipment you likely already own. In 10 minutes per day, you can fit in cardio, resistance training, core exercises, and stretching. If you have more time, you can do more sets – it’s that simple. We recommend The 10-Minute Total Body Breakthrough, by Sean Foy, Lead Fitness Consultant for the Nutrilite Center for Optimal Health. This book eliminates the most common reason people say they don’t exercise – lack of time. By spending just 10 minutes per day on your fitness, you can see major differences in your body, when combined with a healthy approach to eating. To order The 10-Minute Total Body Breakthrough, visit the Barnes & Noble partner store on Amway.ca. Available in English only.
If you think 10 minutes per day won’t do much for you, this is what former professional football player Marshall (from previous page) had to say about it: “When I first got involved in the program, I did not think it would be adequate. I thought it was a joke, but after a couple of workouts, I became a believer. I can honestly say, if you follow the program diligently and work it for 10 minutes, you will have a full, complete, overall body workout.”
