One of the most popular New Year’s resolutions is to lose weight. Considering that 68% of Americans are overweight or obese it seems like there are plenty of individuals that could benefit from that resolution. The problem with New Year’s resolutions is that most people don’t keep them and end up yo-yo dieting and actually becoming fatter than they were before they started trying to lose weight. Below are some tips to help you lose the weight in a healthy way and stick to your New Years goals.
Be realistic: One of the biggest pitfalls for people trying to lose weight is setting unrealistic goals. They set goals that aren’t attainable and instead of getting energized they get discouraged and quit working toward their goals when they can’t meet them right away. The Transitions Daily Journal and your CTLC will help you set reasonable and attainable goals that will keep you motivated and moving toward success.
Plan ahead:Don’t decide on January 1st that you are going to start living the Transitions Lifestyle. You will need some time to get prepared, find a class in your area and get rid of all the junk in your cupboards! Give yourself a week or two to prepare before starting the program that way you have a much better chance at success.
Outline your plan:Deciding what your goals are is the first step, now you need to decide how you are going to reach them. Sit down with your CTLC and make out a plan for your weight loss. Will you do detox week or the 7 day Nutriclean? How are you going to avoid glutinous foods for the next 6 weeks? Where is exercise going to fit into your life? If you have a plan it is much harder to make excuses.
Make a "pro" and "con" list: Staying motivated is one of the essentials to achieving your goals. Make a list of all the things you will be able to do once you lose weight and make a list of all the reasons being overweight is bad for you such as health concerns, lower self-esteem, poor mobility, etc.
Talk about it: Tell your friends and family that you have decided to change your lifestyle and your health. Let them know the foods that you won’t be eating any longer and the actions you will be taking to achieve your goals. Tell them about Transitions™ and how it is going to change your life. Support is one of the best motivators you can have.
Track your progress:Make sure you are tracking your meals, emotions, weight loss, inches, and body fat loss. Tracking your progress is a great way to stay on track because it keeps you accountable. You can track your progress in the Transitions Daily Journal or on the transitionslifestyle.com web site which ever way you choose make sure you stick to it.

Pamper your heart with CoQ10
CoQ10 has been known to be one of the most studied nutrients in heart health maintenance. It is a fat-soluble coenzyme and is an essential component in the action of enzymes. CoQ10 plays an integral role in energy production in the body. Since nearly all cellular activities are dependent upon energy, CoQ10 is essential for the health of all human tissues and organs.
All cellular functions depend upon the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is a molecule with three high-energy phosphate bonds, which exist in all of our cells. It is the primary energy source for many metabolic processes. Coenzyme Q10 is essential to the ATP production process, and the heart has a high metabolic demand, which is why normal levels of CoQ10 are associated with good cardiovascular health.
Since CoQ10 has its highest concentrations in the heart and all the tissues in the body, the heart requires the most energy to fuel the body and to keep the heart maintained at a healthy level, CoQ10 levels must be normal. According to the American Heart Association, the average person’s heart propels 2,000 gallons of blood through 65,000 miles of blood vessels by beating 100,000 times each day. Thus, large amounts of uninterrupted energy are needed to keep the heart beating. Thousands of mitochondria are needed in the cells of the heart for proper functioning.
Throughout the aging process, the body’s ability to synthesize CoQ10 begins to decline. Sometimes this is due to stress or infections, but the main challenge is a poor diet. Heart Health™ Advanced CoQ10 is a blend of CoQSol-CF™ and vitamin E, designed to promote overall cardiovascular health. CoQSol-CF™ is a unique, patent-pending formula of CoQ10, food grade d-limonene (which serves as a non-polar, organic solvent), and tocopherol (vitamin E). This combination creates a liquid, crystal-free solution of CoQ10 that provides enhanced bioavailability. By improving dissolution, absorption is enhanced.
So pamper your heart with CoQ10. Your ticker will thank you!

Overweight Pets
A study in 2007 by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, found that almost half of domestic cats and dogs are overweight or obese in the U.S.
It is important to remember that our pets were not designed to lie around and graze on food all day. A proper diet and exercise is very important in maintaining your pet’s weight and keeping them in optimal health. Exercise can be as simple as going for a walk in the evening when you get off work or tossing a ball down the hallway. Go to the park on the weekends (look for a park that caters to dogs – they typically have a fenced in area to let them run around and socialize with other dogs). Exercise allows pets to express their normal instinctive behavioral traits including inquisitive exploration and the use of scent, sight and hearing, tracking, stalking and play-fighting, greeting members of the same species and dealing with strange objects and dealing with animals from different species.
Excess weight puts more strain on your pet’s bones and joints, which can lead to joint discomfort. Couple that with the fact the joint health begins to decline as our pets age and the cold wintery months contribute to a decline in joint health, it is very important to maintain your pet’s joint health and comfort. Nearly 30% of dogs and cats need some form of joint support.
PetHealth™ OPC Formula with Glucosamine for Cats and Dogs combines the benefits of oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), potent antioxidants, with glucosamine, which has been shown to promote joint health and joint comfort. PetHealth OPC Formula with Glucosamine for Cats and Dogs provides and antioxidant defense and promotes the normal retention and regeneration of cartilage. PetHealth™ Multivitamin Formula for Dogs and PetHealth™ Multivitamin Formula for Cats contain calcium (in proper ratio to phosphorus) and vitamin D for healthy bones. PetHealth Multivitamin Formula for Dogs and PetHealth Multivitamin Formula for Cats also contain a balanced mixture of B-vitamins to promote normal energy levels, support healthy muscle function and normal growth and repair of body tissues. PetHealth, only the best for your best friend!

More Pycnogenol® Research
A new study published in Redox Reports suggests Pycnogenol® may reduce levels of C-reactive protein (a marker for inflammation). Because CRP is reported to be an independent predictor of cardiovascular-related events, this decrease can lead to improved joint health, as well as heart health.

Glucosamine for joint health
As dogs age their joint health begins to decline. Glucosamine has been shown to be beneficial to aging dogs by promoting overall joint health. Glucosamine is found naturally occurring in cartilage and synovial fluid. Studies have found that oral supplementation of glucosamine is absorbed within joint tissue and is beneficial in supporting normal regeneration of cartilage, promoting normal joint flexibility and movement and helps support joint comfort.
PetHealth™ OPC Formula combines the benefits of glucosamine with powerful OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins), antioxidants like pine bark extract, grape seed extract, red wine extract, citrus bioflavonoids and bilberry extract to promote joint health and comfort, normal joint flexibility, healthy blood platelet activity, healthy circulation, cardiovascular health and vision health. OPCs are potent antioxidants, nearly 50 times more powerful than vitamin C and 20 times more powerful than vitamin E. Free radicals can wreak havoc on your pet’s health and antioxidants, like those found in PetHealth OPC Formula, are powerful free radical scavengers.
OPCs and glucosamine are very bitter extracts; PetHealth OPC Formula is designed to be more palatable for your pets, especially when sprinkled over their food. Several antioxidants blended together in moderate amounts may be more effective than high levels of one antioxidant. PetHealth OPC Formula combines five powerful antioxidants in moderate amounts with a therapeutic amount of glucosamine. Antioxidants, like those found in PetHealth OPC Formula, help fight the damage caused by free radicals. They can also help support immune responses and support normal vaccine recognition in dogs and cats. Young animals can benefit tremendously from antioxidants. Antioxidants can help maintain optimum health in your animal's gastrointestinal and cardiovascular systems, liver, kidneys, eyes and immune system. Another important role of pet antioxidants is their ability to support immune-cell function for dogs and cats in their senior years.
Dog or cat, young or old, PetHealth OPC Formula is the perfect supplement for optimal health for your pets. Click here for more information on glucosamine. Check out Buzzilions.com for great testimonials on PetHealth OPC Formula.

Custom Cocktail – Your choice. Your cocktail.
I have been taking supplements since the young age of 12, the basic children’s multivitamin, calcium and the occasional vitamin C when I felt a cold coming on. Now that I’m older, I have become more health conscious and prefer to take a natural approach rather than running to the doctor for something as small as a simple cough.
My cabinet is packed full of supplements, including a while array of Isotonix products, both mine and my boyfriend’s. So every time we open the cabinet, two to three bottles fall out at our face. Now before I started here at Market America, I would say to myself, I wish they could invent one supplement or pill that would have everything in it what we needed. If you think about it, the pill would be the size of a bus! There is a solution to that; it’s called Isotonix® Custom Cocktail.
Isotonix Custom Cocktail is simple, fast and convenient because you chose what Isotonix products you want and how many shots of each. Once you have ordered your custom cocktail, your personal blend is delivered in one convenient canister. It’s uncomplicated and time-efficient means to get exactly what you want in the convenience of one mixture.
What I love so much about the Isotonix Custom Cocktail is that you get to pick from ten Isotonix products and the amounts. You can choose all ten if you want. The selection summary includes Isotonix Multivitamin, Isotonix Antioxidant, Isotonix Multimineral, Isotonix Advanced B-Complex, Isotonix Vitamin C, Isotonix OPC-3®, Isotonix Coenzyme Q10, Isotonix Maximum Orac, Isotonix Vision Formula and Isotonix Calcium Plus. Another beneficial tool of the custom cocktail is Nutrition Guard. It’s like having your own nutritionist assisting you with your % daily values. Also, it’s always working in the background to alert you of any adjustments that needs to be made to your custom cocktail.
It’s your choice, your cocktail. It’s simple, fast and convenient. You choose what you want and how many you want. Order your custom cocktail today and enjoy the benefits of taking Isotonix that is made just for YOU.

Market America's Hoodia Makes the News!
In October's issue of Nutrition Industry Executive an article was written outlining the Power of Hoodia and specifically names HoodiaPure® as one of the only Hoodia gordonii extracts that is able to pass all of the strict testing to prove it's authenticity. HoodiaPure® is the registered form of Hoodia gordonii found in our newest Transitions™ Supplement Thermochrome with Advantra Z® and South African Hoodia gordonii. There are numerous fake Hoodia supplements on the market, but Market America customers can be rest assured that we are only using the best ingredients available.

Cyber-Shopping
Thanksgiving was great and now we enter the Holiday season and Cyber month! Thanksgiving is a special Holiday because it is not religious or patriotic. However, it is very Spiritual because it is all about being with family and appreciating them. It is a time to pause and give thanks and gratitude and to count our blessings. The world seems to slow down on Thanksgiving and then even for a few days through the weekend (except for on line shopping --people are on line rather than in line.) Thanksgiving historically commemorates the Pilgrims and Indians embracing each other and celebrating the harvest. If you think about it, back then the Harvest was a critical event. It determined how well you would get through the winter. Everything from supplies, to canned goods, to smoke hams, to grains for bread or dough, to food for the live stock to survive the winter was all determined by the harvest. It was a matter of survival. I am thankful for Market America, because building an UnFranchise is like the Harvest. We reap what we sow. It allows you to survive tough economic times which are all around us. Today is Cyber Monday, but this year all indications are that CyberMonday will be three weeks long. Most shopping is shifting to the Internet. People are going online rather than waiting in line. Wow! What an opportunity! You can guide people on the portal to get exactly what they want at the best prices. You can help them save money. You should call your entire family, associates at work, and friends and all your PC's and offer your services as a customer manager or personal shopper on your Unfranchise Portal! Reap the Harvest! There's a shift to online shopping everywhere, but we have people power that gives us a tremendous edge over other internet or retailing channels. This is the week to make it happen!!!
So Thanksgiving is over and Cyber week and month begin today. Make sure you reap the Harvest. Give thanks for this opportunity by making it work! While other companies are struggling , market America is booming because of the shift to online internet shopping and the entrepreneurial opportunity to bolster one’s income provided with the UnFranchise opportunity. As I mentioned last week, we had a record sales week in November. Now the numbers are in for recruiting and sales for last month and in every market or country we experienced increased recruiting or sales or BOTH! That is remarkable. You are at the right place at the right time. We have the solution! Now is the time to grow!
Keep Growing!
I believe in you

Skin Nutrition: Beauty from within
I can still hear an old saying that my father used to tell me as a kid; “Eat your green veggies, they’ll make you pretty.” I believed him, just like every little kid believes what their father says. But I never realized any reason behind it until I got older and understood nutrition.
Like most women, I take very good care of my skin. I eat healthy, drink plenty of water, avoid smoking and follow through with a very precise skin regimen. From zit cream to help with acne from my high school days to anti-aging cream in my twenties, good skin nutrition not only begins on the outside, but from within. Even though the buzz about creams and lotions has become popular lately, what you put INSIDE your body is equally as important. Honestly, the old saying about fried foods leading to an unhealthy complexion holds true in my opinion. Health experts say that vitamins and minerals in all forms play an integral role in a healthy complexion, whether the source is food, supplements, or even a jar of cream. "Your skin is the fingerprint of what is going on inside your body, and all skin conditions, from psoriasis to acne to aging, are the manifestations of your body's internal needs, including its nutritional needs," says Georgiana Donadio, Ph.D., founder and director of the National Institute of Whole Health in Boston.
Timeless Prescription™ Oxygen Extreme and Isotonix OPC-3® Beauty Blend are two products that Market America offers to help promote skin health and protect your body against free radicals. Oxygen Extreme is a combination of vitamins, minerals and special herbs in capsule form that help protect our body from the negative effects of free radicals. It contains key ingredients such as vitamins A, C and E, which are great for promoting skin health and supporting healthy immune functions. Beauty Blend is an isotonic-capable food supplement that is made from a combination of bilberry, grape seed, red wine, pine bark extracts and citrus extract bioflavonoids, all found to be powerful antioxidants. They are powerful free radical scavengers that work to keep skin healthy and beautiful in a world filled with smog, pollution and other toxins.
While browsing through WebMD, I ran across this article which contains some great information on what supplements help maintain a healthy complexion to keep that young, youthful glow. Remember to protect your skin inside and out!

Vitamin D research featured on the Today Show!
Hey everyone!
This morning some exciting new research on vitamin D was featured on the Today Show. A new study reported by the American College of Cardiology indicated that nearly 50% of American adults and 30% of American teens do not consume enough vitamin D. The study also revealed that insufficient vitamin D may increase the risk of heart disease later in life. We know that vitamin D plays an important role in supporting bone health but now it looks like this special vitamin might have a lot more to offer!
So, how can you get more vitamin D?

So, how can you get more vitamin D?
- Spend some time in the sun
- Increase your consumption of fish as they are often high in vitamin D
- Dietary supplements

Tales from the Field
A New UnFranchise® Owner’s success story: Cheryl Hajjar
I’ve been involved with fitness and healthy living since the age of 16; in my twenties I was a finalist in the Ms. Fitness America Nationals and continued on as a Reebok fitness model and host of a local aerobics/exercise television program in the years since. So as a lifelong fitness junkie, proper health and nutrition has always been an integral part of my daily regimen! It came as no surprise that I would fall in love with Isotonix® and Market America’s other wonderful health and nutrition products; as I became a faithful user of the products and introduced them to my family – my five-year old son not only asks for OPC-3® by name, he recommends it to all his friends at school – it was only natural that I would also take a closer look at the business opportunity.
The business model made sense right away, possibly because I’ve always been an entrepreneurial type. In addition to my fitness work, I’m also a singer-songwriter-producer, author of children’s books and co-owner of a company called “Indigo Magic.” You could say that I had been trying to create my own 2- to 3-Year Plan long before I ever even heard of Market America!
But after attending two meetings and assessing the opportunity, I was hooked. Here was a business model that played to my strengths: I’m a natural networker & people-person, and my fitness background gives me the right disposition for products that promote healthy living. My initial plan was to major in Health and Nutrition, and possibly even expand into nutraMetrix® if things went well.
So I began to build my UnFranchise® Business, and have thus far been fairly successful in both retailing and recruiting. Finding receptive audiences has been easier than expected.
But life has a funny way of throwing curveballs: although initially focused on building my “Health & Nutrition empire”, I had the opportunity to attend International Convention and network with several influential Motives® majors. Their enthusiasm was contagious! I was so inspired that I quickly underwent the Motives training, bought some product and booked a space at a big fashion event. Even though I didn’t yet feel like an expert, I was lucky to have a few in my organization who are Motives experts & offered to help. (This is exactly what’s so great about Market America, by the way: teammates and teamwork!) So with just a hint of apprehension, I jumped in and worked the booth.
Well, I’ve been working Motives like gangbusters ever since then. I had NO idea how powerful and popular these cosmetics would or could be: my calendar for the next two months is packed completely full of Motives Parties, Days of Beauty, another large trade show event and several wedding consultations!
It wasn’t quite the path I was expecting, but the results are impossible to miss. My advice to other new Customer Managers is simply to keep your minds open: allow yourself the flexibility to grow your business in whatever direction it takes. A registered dietician might expect to promote Transitions™, but finds instead that PetHealth™ has the greatest demand in her area. Be open to it. A Home & Garden expert may find instead that the WebCenter solution is the easiest way to generate impressive retail profits. One must simply be aware of the demands in the marketplace & be willing to match products to them. That, after all, is the essence of One-to-One Marketing!
I’m very grateful to have found Market America; not only has it given me a pathway to financial and time freedom, it has also allowed me to pursue my other passions (songwriting and children’s books) and spend more time with family and friends. My Rolodex is bursting with new contacts and it seems like the sky’s the limit!
