Losing Weight Can Taste Amazing and Never Leave You Hungry Hi, I’m Lindsey, the certified nutritionist at IdealShape, and I’m so glad this book made it into your hands! We at IdealShape are very confident in saying that this little recipe book could literally change your life! I’ve personally created the recipes in this book to help you:

• Curb hunger • Lose weight, and • Increase energy With every delicious sip, you’ll also be able to:

• Satisfy your sweet tooth • Boost your immune, nervous, muscular and digestive systems • Get a complete meal for just 200-300 calories We understand that starving yourself to lose weight never works. In fact, we’ve found that hunger is the BIGGEST deterrent to weight loss! Simply put, if you can’t control hunger, you can’t lose weight. Here’s the good news: You don’t need to be hungry to lose weight. IdealShape has developed a way for you to achieve weight loss and reach YOUR “Ideal Shape” without feeling hungry.

It’s all about eating small, delicious and nutritious meals throughout the day. To replace some of the high-calorie meals you would otherwise eat, which have probably been keeping you from reaching your ideal shape (if we’re being honest), you simply replace meals with the smoothies in your book. What Makes a Shake a “Meal”? You’re going to see that all the smoothie recipes in your book include a special ingredient called IdealShake®. It’s our proprietary blend of 22 essential vitamins and minerals and high quality protein, and it provides a low calorie meal option, containing only 90-100 calories per scoop. You can get the same nutrition as a full meal by making any of the smoothies in your book when you include IdealShake. Any of our four IdealShake flavors are also delicious and satisfying as a shake by just adding water or milk. Why IdealShake is Totally Unique So what makes IdealShake unlike any other shake on the market, and how does it control hunger? It is all about potatoes. Yes, you read that right! IdealShake contains Slendesta®, an all-natural vegetable protein from potatoes. The active ingredient in Slendesta is Proteinase Inhibitor II or PI2. Simply put, PI2 promotes the body’s natural release of Cholecystokinin or CCK. CCK is a powerful peptide that signals the stomach and brain to induce feelings of fullness and satisfaction. When taken as recommended and over time, IdealShake with Slendesta has resulted in significant weight loss and reduction in waist and hip measurements. Just to put your mind at ease, Slendesta is 100% stimulant-free and does not cause jitters, bloating, discomfort or other side effects that are commonly associated with some other weight management ingredients. IdealShake with its hunger blocker, Slendesta, is known to keep you full for up to three hours. 4

Kim L. says, “I lost 105 pounds with IdealShake! My favorite thing is to try new recipes. Always being able to change up my smoothie recipes keeps the IdealShape plan fresh and easy to follow. This book is great!” So if you’re ready to kill those hunger cravings and lose weight with delicious smoothies, this book is for you. May your shape be “your ideal shape” and may your life be “your ideal life,” Lindsey and the IdealShape Family

What the HECK Are Meal Replacement Shakes? Meal replacement shakes are the most important part of our IdealPlanTM, which is losing weight and being healthy while consuming five small, delicious meals through the day. First of all, a meal replacement shake is just what the name implies: it replaces a regular meal. Using Smoothies to Replace Meals and Lose Weight “After my husband was deployed in military, I gained 65 pounds in baby weight with my second pregnancy. I weighed 186 pounds and was using pregnancy as an excuse. I did not want my husband to come to me looking like the same overweight person, so I started replacing two meals a day with an IdealShake. I lost 6 dress sizes and 67 pounds! Last month, I gave birth to my third baby and this time I gained 25 pounds. One month after giving birth, I had already lost that 25 pounds without exercise. I did it by eating five meals a day, which included an IdealShake for breakfast, an IdealBar as a morning snack, and another IdealShake as my second meal of the day.” – Jenna

Meal replacement shakes: most of you have heard of them, and you’ve probably had one or two at some point in your life, when you decided to “get serious” about your fitness. But what makes a meal replacement shake a meal, versus just another milkshake? After all, the goal isn’t just to reduce calories — it’s also to feel healthy and full of energy to live your ideal life!

Because we have added our proprietary meal replacement shake, IdealShake, to each of the recipes we can truly say the smoothies in this book can replace a meal:

while tasting delicious leaving you full for hours balancing your nutrition providing energy and of course facilitating weight loss Since the popularity of the phrase “meal replacement shake” has skyrocketed recently and the consumption of shakes as meal replacements has increased dramatically I am going to use “meal replacement shake” to include the meal replacement smoothies in your book. IMPORTANT: Not all meal replacement shakes are created equal! Initially, meal replacement shakes were prescribed by physicians to those who had chronic illnesses, were losing their appetites and were unable to eat whole food. Physicians then began prescribing meal replacement shakes as an integral part of physician-supervised weight loss programs. Today meal replacement shakes have become a part of many people’s lives through commercial diet programs as well as from the continued recommendations of medical doctors. Meal replacement shakes intended for weight loss must be low-calorie and fortified with substantial amounts of vitamins, minerals and protein. A weight loss shake MUST provide a “full” feeling and give the body some energy without breaking the bank when it comes to caloric intake. 7

One of my favorite things about meal replacement shakes is that they have fixed content, calorie amounts and portions. If too much wiggle room is a problem for you, like it is for me, then shakes actually help you regain control over your appetite. Here’s perhaps the biggest benefit of all: replacing meals with shakes eliminates the stress of meal planning. It’s incredibly convenient, whether you’re at home, at work or taking your meal on the go. If fast food used to be your desperate last resort, it doesn’t have to be anymore. I can’t think of anything better than a shake for a meal that requires no cooking or meal preparation! Some studies have shown that the more variety of foods a person is exposed to in one sitting, the more likely they will overeat. (That’s why buffets are such a disaster for people trying to lose weight.) Some others have said the overreliance on meal replacement shakes or rigid menus with no variety could lead to nutritional deficiencies over time. At IdealShape we solved both of these concerns. For those who like variety in their diets (and most of us do) we have provided 41 Smoothies to give you healthy choices and variety. And since we’re all concerned about nutrition, we have included a blend of 22 essential vitamins in each scoop of IdealShake. WARNING: many of the meal replacement shakes that are available today are high in artificial ingredients and are more like glorified milkshakes than meals! “At 280 pounds and only 5 ft 9 in tall, I knew I was heavy. I had no excuse for getting fat — I just got lazy, loved to eat and slowly packed it on. So finally I made a decision, I need a change. I researched and found IdealShape meal replacement shakes. I knew in my mind what I needed to do, and now my heart was in it also. I started having two shakes a day and watched my carb intake religiously. Weight started coming off fairly quickly - 10 pounds, 20 pounds gone. Pretty soon it was 40 then 50 pounds… I was able to start exercising and today I am officially down 75 pounds. I owe it all to what IdealShape has done for me. At 52, I feel better than I’ve felt in 30 years!” – Mark 8

Some experts “suggest” that using meal replacement shakes may put you at risk for overeating. They “suggest” that the human body was designed to chew and consume food. They believe people on a liquid diet will subconsciously seek out more food in order to get that chewing sensation. Here’s what you need to remember: on the IdealPlan, you’re only replacing up to two meals a day with meal replacement shakes. Your three other meals will consist of food that is “chewy,” leaving your body full and satisfying your chewing needs. Now, if you were only having shakes for your meals, you may feel ravenous by lunchtime and dinnertime. And we know that hunger is the enemy in weight loss. That’s why our five meal plan includes two meal replacement shakes, plus three more meals or snacks that I’ve built into the daily meal plan. What’s more, the shakes in this book actually fill you up. The Essential Ingredient You recall one of the criteria for a GREAT meal replacement shake is it MUST leave you feeling full for hours. That’s why we include IdealShake in each of our smoothie recipes. As you probably know by listening to me or reading the “Read First” page of this book, IdealShake contains a powerful all-natural hunger-blocker called “Slendesta” which controls feelings of hunger up to three hours. Slendesta is only found in one meal replacement shake: IdealShake. Most meal replacement shakes only use fiber to fill you up, but it’s rarely enough to get you to your next meal. We use a unique blend of protein, fiber and the hunger-blocker Slendesta to keep you feeling full and satisfied between meals.

So let’s wrap this up: we are extremely confident in providing you a meal replacement shake that: tastes DELICIOUS leaves you FULL for hours balances your NUTRITION provides ENERGY and of course generates WEIGHT LOSS Each of the Smoothie recipes in your book contains IdealShake. Using IdealShake as an ingredient in your smoothies or with just milk or water is the only way we can make the bold statements we make about meal replacements shakes. Quite frankly we can’t make these statements about meal replacement shakes in general, ONLY those that contain IdealShake. So you can feel confident about the nutrition you’re getting with every smoothie you blend up from this book! “Before I found IdealShape I had been on every diet known to man. I would always lose 10 or 20 pounds, then get bored and gain it back. When I started with IdealShake, I thought… I’ve been fat my whole so this won’t work. But it was the push I needed. I said to myself I would never “diet” again — well this is not a diet, it’s a way of life. A change to my whole concept of food and eating it. If IdealShake didn’t taste good or work, there is no way I could have accomplished this major feat, so THANK YOU so very much for the product and the support.” – Kelly

Enjoy Your Book, Lindsey

Why Five Meals a Day? By now you’ve heard us talk about how the IdealPlan is based on five small meals a day. We’ve found that this works much more effectively for weight loss than having two or three large meals a day. We’ll explain why dividing up your calories into five meals is beneficial. First, I want to show you what our daily five-meal plan looks like: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Breakfast Smoothie Mid-Morning Snack Lunch Smoothie Mid-Afternoon Snack Whole Food Dinner

All of the smoothies in this book can be incorporated into the five-meal plan. In fact, these meal replacement shakes are the MOST IMPORTANT part of it! That’s because, like I’ve mentioned, smoothies with IdealShake help you successfully reduce caloric intake, stay full for several hours, get essential nutrients, and never skip a meal. Meal replacement shakes keep you out of the “hunger danger zone” while you’re changing your appetite on the path to fat loss. Best of all, they’re incredibly

convenient. So another reason we love the smoothies in this book: they make it easy to follow the “five meal a day” plan! Five Daily Meals Promotes Weight Loss We’ve found that people who eat five meals a day achieve more dramatic weight loss results than they could previously achieve with two or three meals a day. Why would that be? There are several factors at play. In general, the five-meal pattern is going to help you: Naturally decrease your calorie intake… By eating five small meals a day, you’re able to avoid extreme hunger and stay in control of what and how much you eat. Not only do we tend to overeat when we’re very hungry, but researchers from Yale and University of Southern California discovered that we’re also more likely to want fatty, salty and sugary foods. When you eat more frequently, you’re more likely to “eat to fuel” and choose healthy foods in the portions you need. Keep glucose and energy levels stable… Eating the right foods at regular intervals should stabilize your blood sugar levels and avoid the spikes that come from huge, carb heavy meals and sugary snacks. By avoiding these spikes and crashes, you can keep a stable level of energy to fuel your willpower and maintain a higher activity level. Plan your meals… Increasing your meal frequency puts you in a position to think ahead and ensure that you aren’t at the mercy of fast food or convenience food. You make time to choose meals and snacks conscientiously, prepare them in advance, and have the willpower to follow through with the plan you’ve already made. Feel good about yourself… Neuroscientists have found that staying satiated helps keep our self-regulation activated. One positive accomplishment leads to another!

By eating approximately every three hours, you’ll stay happy, satisfied and able to stick to your weight loss plan—without ever feeling deprived, hungry or fatigued. Five-Meal Quick Start Guide Replace breakfast and lunch with a delicious smoothie of your choice. Incorporate a mini meal (or snack) between breakfast and lunch, and lunch and dinner. This mini meal should ideally include a balance of carbs, proteins and fats, such as fruit with Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, or an IdealBar®. Eat a healthy dinner with a serving of lean meat and plenty of fiber-rich vegetables. Space your meals approximately three hours apart and avoid eating between meals. Think: eat, stop eating for three hours, eat again. You want to give you body time to digest your meal before you eat again, so not eating between meals is important. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and avoid false hunger symptoms. Water acts a natural hunger suppressant for short periods of time. Can you see why eating five small, but filling and nutritious meals each day is the foundation of the IdealPlan? Not to mention, it gives you plenty of opportunities to enjoy all of the 41 delicious smoothies in this book!

The Essential Ingredient: IdealShake® High Quality Protein Blend

Hunger Blocker

Low Sugar

A protein-rich diet is essential to fat loss, but it’s hard to get enough of it without adding excess calories, sugars and fats. A quality protein supplement is an excellent aid in maintaining lean, healthy muscle and burning calories more efficiently.

If you can’t control your hunger, you can’t lose weight. Our shake puts you in control with the all-natural hunger blocker Slendesta. Slendesta is clinically proven to help you feel full for up to 3 hours by triggering the release of CCK, a hormone that tells your brain when you’re full.

Refined sugar is a major contributing factor to diabetes, obesity and numerous chronic diseases. IdealShake is sweetened with sucralose, so it satisfies your sweet tooth with only 1 gram of sugar per serving.

Balanced Nutrition IdealShake has 11 grams of protein per serving and over 40% of your recommended daily intake (RDI) of 21 vitamins and minerals.

High Fiber

Low Calories Each shake contains only 110 calories per serving. It’s filling and delicious by itself, yet low-calorie enough to make a perfect base for smoothies.

With 5 grams of fiber per serving, this shake will help you get the fiber you need in your diet to improve digestion and weight loss by moving calories throughout your body without being absorbed.
