What kind of weightloss program are you running?

Our program consists of classes and get togethers to mutually motivate you to achieve your weight and health goals.

Only $5 .. That's incredible ?

The education, the classes, the regular get togethers will be $5 each class.  We simply need to cover the roomhire cost.  As time goes by, if we bring in special instructors who charge a fee, then there’ll be a nominal increase to cover expenses only.   Or if we put on a large food day, there might be a small nominal charge, again to cover expenses.  We are not here to make a profit from you.

What about product?   Will I have to buy anything?

I’ll be straight up with you.   The program I chose is the Reset program from Usana Health Sciences.    In my opinion (and that of many medical professionals,) it’s superior to just about anything on the market. So depending on what your goals are, and if you like the program, there will be shakes, bars and nutritionals to purchase.

Oh no, I hate shakes and bars.   Why are you going down that route?

I must admit, I hated the thought of shakes and bars too.  Until I tried these and got phenomenal results from them and my husband lost a heap of weight too.   But I found they’ve been an incredible help.   They worked for me and many others, when simply dieting or changing food habits didn’t.   Of course, we believe, as a nutrition company that eating well and sensibly and exercising regularly is the way to lose weight.   But if it were the simplest way, we’d all be doing that. Shakes and Bars are the easiest way to keep a track of your intake.

So why are you offering shakes and bars?

The convenience, ease, taste and value for money.   Let’s face it, we’re all busy.    There’s going to come a time when you haven’t prepared your perfect meal or when you haven’t taken your perfect snack to work.   There’ll be times when you haven’t done all the grocery shopping and your diet choices have simply run low, or the kids are demanding their favourite and your husband isn’t interested in eating for your diet. Instead of going for the packet of chips, or the frappucino, you will have a healthy alternative to choose in the shape of a shake or bar that has all the right ratio of carbs, fats and protein.   And it’s fast and easy.

And why Usana?   Aren’t there other companies I could go for?

Sure there are other companies.    Usana has the reputation as being the best in the world nutritionally.    The range has been certified Low GI from the GI Food Institute.   Others have ingredients that are questionable and with this program you have the science and the medical backup.

Will I have to sign up for anything else?

Not at all.    You do what you want to do.   If you like the shakes and bars and are happy to join the program, then you’ll be made very welcome.   We’ll work out the best possible program to suit your individual needs, budget and timing.   There are no joining fees and no sneaky sales pitches.    You buy the product at wholesale prices and that’s it.

So what makes you different and why should I go with you?

We know that weightgain is a slow and emotional path.   And we also know that trying to lose it can be just as long an emotional a journey.   We support you the way you want to be supported.    And we can guarantee you that you’ll start to feel better when you follow the process.   We won’t make you do anything you don’t want to do.  This process must be enjoyable and gentle.

Will I have to face a weigh in?

No!!  We believe in waist measurements and dress sizes.   We don’t use the scales, we use the tape measure.    And no, we don’t embarrass anyone with announcing who’s waist measures what!!

What about the fashion and styling part of it?

It’s fun to know the tricks of fashion and styling and how to make the body look ‘illusionally’ thinner.   When you combine an active weight management program with clever styling, it’s amazing how your self esteem will boost and how great you can look.

So is it a diet?

Absolutely not!   It will be a lifestyle program.   Diets don’t really work.   If they do, it’s usually temporary.   Weight that is gained over time takes quite a while to lose and we’re certainly not into the ‘fast weightloss’ myths.   

Can I join in any time?

Sure can.   You hook in at any time as the program will rotate.

I can't make it there, can I access the material privately ?

yes, of course. You can still get all the help and coaching you need. Call or email to discuss, anytime.

I hate exercise, will there be classes?

We approach exercise in a number of ways.   We’ll run classes, have group walks, show you a DVD, bring in a couple of experts and show you things you can do at home. In fact we will show you some simple 10 minute "celebrity" routines that you can do at home. Believe me, our classes are fun.
