METAGENICS "SHAKE IT" PROFESSIONAL WEIGHT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
WHAT IS THE METAGENICS "SHAKE IT" PROFESSIONAL WEIGHT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The Metagenics Shake it professional weight management program is an easy to follow, scientifically advanced, fat loss program that has been proven to be both safe and effective. This professional program is based on a carbohydrate controlled diet that incorporates good levels of dietary protein, appropriate levels of healthy fats and moderate exercise to support rapid and lasting fat loss. The Metagenics Shake it program encourages the body to utilise fat as themajor source of fuel by restricting dietary carbohydrates and therefore, glucose availability. This causes a metabolic shift towards fat metabolism (specifically, the utilisation of free fatty acids for energy), resulting in rapid fat loss while preserving muscle mass. Whilst on this program, you can be expected to safely lose up to 2 kg per week.
The Metagenics Shake it professional weight management program is specifically designed to be implemented in a clinical setting to allow ongoing practitioner support and supervision. As a practitioner I will be able to support and counsel you about diet, exercise and supplementation for improving your compliance, increasing your motivation and helping you set realistic goals. A professionally executed dietary and lifestyle program means you are monitored to ensure fat loss is occurring at a healthy rate and underlying drivers that may be inhibiting successful weight loss are addressed. These factors are an essential component of this successful fat loss program.
Research has found this style of diet is more effective that any conventional, low fat diet for weight loss. It is registered and approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration and is now also been approved by some private health insurance companies, so an extra rebate may apply.
Carbohydrate controlled diets are associated with the following benefits:
1. Increased fat loss whilst preserving muscle mass
2. The loss of visceral adipose tissue
3. Increased satiety
4. Reduction in insulin levels
5. Improved cardiovascular system
6. Improved digestion system function
This research demonastrates that the program has advantages that extend beyond fat loss.
When implementing any kind of weight management program, a distinction must be made between fat loss and weight loss. Many low fat, calorie restricted diets produce disappointing long-term results principally due to the excessive loss of muscle mass that occurs as a result of this type of diet. When muscle mass is lost, it results in a reduction in metabolic rate (i.e. the ability to burn calories) and increases your likelyhood of putting fat back on. This effect is often observed in yo-yo dieting. Losing muscle mass and reducing metabolic rate tends to create a vicious cycle of dieting and fat gain, which often results in hormonal and metabolic disturbances, ultimately leading to further fat gain.
The program avoids these damaging effects of dieting becasue it is a fat loss system as opposed to a weight loss system. The low carbohydrate, moderate protein requirements for the program promote both fat buring and the preservation of lean body tissue. Additionally, the program addresses the drivers of weight gain so it will help you achieve positive weight loss and imporove your health and well-being.
