v1.2 - 20140119b

Because the Advanced Plan is based on a strict calorie-reduced diet which focuses heavily on using meal replacement drink mixes (SlimStyles® Meal Replacement Drink Mix) for 2 out of the 3 main meals of the day, this program is intense. The Advanced Plan is the most efficient way to lose weight, but it may be too intense for some dieters.

If you find the program to be a little too daunting, you can occasionally add PGX® to every healthy, balanced meal instead of drinking the meal replacement shakes. If that’s still too strict, please consider following the PGX® Program Basic Plan instead.

Heads Up:The Advanced Plan is Serious

If you haven’t already, sign up for the PGX® Program™ online at PGX.com to receive guidance, tips, and helpful questionnaires in your email inbox.

If you find you absolutely need a snack after dinner, use one of the daily snack recipes as a guide to help keep you on track.

Quick tips

After taking PGX® always drink an extra glass of water.

(12-16oz or 375-500ml)

Start slowly and work your way up to the full amount of PGX®. If you feel discomfort, reduce the amount slightly.

It may take up to 2 weeks for your body to become fully

used to taking PGX.®

PGX absorbs water, which means it doesn’t “dissolve”

as you might expect. Mix it in a smoothie or take with moist food such as yogurt or soup.

If you take medications, it works best to take those 1 hour before or 2-3 hours

after taking PGX.® Be sure to consult your physiciain.

Slow weight loss is healthy weight loss! And in many cases, reducing size and improving health is more

important than losing weight.usen20140228a

How do you feel?

TIP: A primary benefit of PGX is creating a feeling of fullness and satisfaction with less food.

TIP: Recognize that in order for things to change, you must change. Only you can make this happen.

TIP: How’s your sleep? Not enough or poor sleep can make you have more food cravings during the day. Work on getting better sleep.

TIP: When developing new healthy habits be patient and persistent. Change takes practice, practice, practice.

TIP: Taming your appetite and retraining your mind is an essential first step toward healthier eating.

TIP: Gratitude journal: a simple way to relieve stress, helps keep things in perspective & you positive. Write 5 things you're grateful for today.

TIP: Are you a fast eater? Try to be much more mindful by sitting at the table, focusing and savouring every bite and chewing thoroughly.

TIP: Here's your friendly reminder to meal plan and take a look at your workout schedule for the week. Planning leads to success.

TIP: Don't forget to give yourself a pat on the back for what you achieved this week. It's important to recognize & celebrate progress!

TIP: PGX® doesn’t dissolve in water – it absorbs water, which is one of its key benefits.

TIP: Eating protein throughout the day helps preserve your muscle while you are losing weight.

TIP: Mindful practices such as yoga & meditation decrease stress, which improves both our mental & physical well being.

TIP: Meal planning takes practice! Study your weekly menu, what you plan to eat and then shop. Review what went well, what didn't and why.

TIP: Skipping meals does not lead to weight loss, only a slower metabolism and poor eating decisions later in the day.

TIP: Heading out to a restaurant? Check out the menu on the website to plan ahead. Look it over to customize your order for a healthier dish.

TIP: How many fruits go into a glass of juice? Would you eat that many fruit in one sitting? Pick fruit over juice, less sugar, more fiber.

TIP: Mise en place, being prepared, is a chef's secret to save time. Take 1 hr/ week to prep food for fast easy cooking during the week.

TIP: Most people with weight problems tend to skip meals and many eat most of their calories in the evening.

TIP: If you don’t eat a nutritional meal, you are prone to eat high calorie snacks that don’t satisfy you, but really pack on the weight.

TIP: Never allow yourself get more than just a bit hungry, ever. Hunger is your worst enemy when you are struggling with your weight.

TIP: Take PGX® capsules 10-15 minutes before meals to increase the effects of feeling full.

TIP: When you skip meals your appetite will eventually increase significantly, making it difficult to stick to a healthy diet.

TIP: If you can learn to consistently tame your appetite, you may find yourself winning your battles with weight once and for all.

TIP: Eat a good amount of protein every day. It creates a sense of satisfaction and is the most important appetite-controlling nutrient.

TIP: By eating enough protein for breakfast, your appetite knows you are not starving, so it stays in better balance for the rest of the day.

TIP: The PGX Program will help you rethink your portions and introduce you to simple healthy and delicious snacks and meals.

TIP: Eating protein throughout the day helps preserve your muscle while you are losing weight.

TIP: Change is hard. Keep focused on your personal goal. Start slowly and don’t overdo it.

TIP: Protein boosts your metabolism better than any other nutrient during weight loss. More of it is burned as heat than anything else you can eat.

TIP: Don't be a victim of portion distortion! Control your food portions and consumption by changing your environment and mindfulness.

TIP: With a “clean-your-plate” or “don't-spoil-your-appetite" mentality it's easy to overeat even when following a healthy diet.

TIP: At times our eyes are bigger than our stomach, and unfortunately our stomach can't count calories.

TIP: Some times if you've tried, tried, and tried again & don't succeed, make a plan to deal with barrier(s) or set a new more achievable goal!

TIP: Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

TIP: PGX fibre turns fast-digesting carbs into slow-digesting carbs, lowering the glycemic index up to 60%.

TIP: If you want to get control of your weight, you need to make your eating decisions with the sensible, goal focused part of your brain.

TIP: Healthy eating is about moderation, not deprivation.

TIP: Mingle instead of munch. Food is often the focal point of social gatherings, so indulge more in good conversation instead of food.

TIP: For physical activity, remember: Some is good. More is better. Everything counts!

TIP: When developing new healthy behaviours be patient and persistent. Change takes practice, practice, practice.

TIP: Don't forget to give yourself a pat on the back for what you achieved. It's important to recognize and celebrate success!

TIP: As you work towards your healthy goal, be aware of barriers that arise, so you can come up with a plan to overcome them.

TIP: When thinking about healthy eating goals, think about doing it forever. It will help you see that your goal is attainable 80% of the time.

TIP: Figure out when and how often you will “eat healthier” during specific behaviors and you’ll be more likely to be successful.

TIP: What's for dinner? Freeze cooking is a great time saver, healthier and cheaper than eating out. Reheat and eat!

TIP: Make small, gradual healthy changes that you are confident you can achieve, and celebrate every success, however small it may seem.

TIP: Self-hatred is a negative motivator that doesn’t last. Self-acceptance, valuing and caring for yourself, moves you towards positive change.

TIP: Drive lots with your job? Keep a cooler in your car packed with healthy food to help you ignore food drive-thru or gas station snacks.

TIP: “Those were the calorie-burning days.” By moving your body more daily, it can have a huge positive impacts on your health.

TIP: Support is critical with any new healthy behaviour that you want to last. Adherence is key!

TIP: Studies have shown that PGX significantly reduces hunger and promotes a more prolonged sense of fullness or satiety than without PGX.

TIP: Setting unrealistic, large or broad goals sets us up for failure, and failure can then drain our confidence and motivation.

TIP: Avoid grocery shopping while hungry. You’re more likely to buy unhealthy, high-calorie foods or other foods that normally do not tempt you.

TIP: Healthy behaviours (diet & activity) will only be sustainable if they fit into your lifestyle, you value them, prioritize them, and enjoy them.

TIP: If you find an activity you enjoy, exercise becomes play time!

TIP: Whatever food you have at home you will eat, so be mindful when grocery shopping and bring home healthy food you will enjoy.

TIP: Weekends are a great time to plan and stock your kitchen with what you need to achieve your healthy eating goal.

TIP: Healthy bodies come in different shapes & sizes. It's important to feel good about your own size & appreciate your body.

TIP: Weight loss maintenance is the real challenge! It's less reinforcing, compliments are gone, it requires more work and it’s forever.

TIP: Learn that saying ‘no’ and taking some time to take care of yourself to help you manage your stress and emotions is not selfish.

TIP: To maintain the weight you lost requires permanent changes in your behavior. You are on the right track. Congratulations!

TIP: Grocery shopping from memory demon-strates your food habits, so having a shopping list is key in buying & trying new healthy foods.

TIP: Keeping a well-stocked pantry and refrigerator will help you eat out less and make it easier to prepare healthy meals at home.
