The 3 C's of Weight Loss

You feel you should lose weight, but how do you go about achieving and maintaining your ideal, healthy weight?

Remember the Three C’s, and setting, achieving and maintaining your goal becomes a whole lot easier.

COMMITMENT

• Ask yourself why you want to lose weight. Are you doing it because you value yourself and would love to feel healthier and look great, or are you doing it because of pressure from friends or family? The most important thing is to decide to do this for yourself!
• Are you truly committed to adopting an “I CAN” attitude rather than a “maybe I can” or a half hearted “I’ll give it a shot” attitude?
• Do you really believe that a healthy weight is not just an investment in optimal health now, but an investment in your future as well?
• Are you committed to changing the habits that resulted in your weight gain to begin with?
• If you can answer a definite YES to all these questions then you’re ready to embark on a successful weight loss program.

THE CAKES

Delicious Tonica© cakes are 100% natural and healthy. There are no colourants, flavourants or suspect “magic” ingredients, just a healthy blend of fresh ingredients and natural fibres that improve digestion, absorb fats and calories and eliminate toxins from the body.

Replace 2 meals per day with a cake and a full glass of water and you will feel satisfied for up to 4 hours with no suffering. You will have loads of energy and you can enjoy a hearty main meal of your choice daily.

Tonica© cakes are suitable for all age groups and you can expect to lose 2kg per week!  The cakes come in 6 yummy flavours, are highly convenient and you will save on your food bill.

Tonica© cakes are the versatile, safe, healthy, meal replacement slimming alternative!

CONTINUITY

Once you have reached your goal weight you obviously want to maintain it so we supply you with an easy to follow maintenance plan.

 Initially, you will need to monitor yourself closely so that you don’t revert to the old eating patterns that packed on the kilos…. but you will not be alone!

 We continue to encourage and support you or share advice whenever you may need it, so you are free to contact us at any time, even if you successfully completed the program months or even years before. 

That’s where we’re different…. you’re not just buying a product off a shelf somewhere…. you’re buying an excellent product that really works, backed by a permanent support system as well…. and that’s what will ensure your success!

Why Dietary Fibre is Imperative to a Healthy Body

Most people are aware of dietary fibre’s role in preventing constipation, but fibre has many other benefits as well such as lowering the risk of certain diseases and, contrary to popular belief, fibre actually regulates the digestive system, preventing both constipation and diarrhea.

Fibre keeps the digestive system working properly, by speeding up the elimination of waste and toxins  from the body, thereby preventing them from remaining in the intestine too long which could cause a build up, leading to a number of diseases.

There are two types of fibre namely soluble and insoluble fibre. Insoluble fibre passes through the body unchanged and promotes the growth of friendly bacteria in the intestine, softening and bulking up waste material and increasing the rate of elimination.

This is important in reducing the risk of certain cancers including bowel cancer as well as haemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome and diverticulitis.

Insoluble fibre is found in foods such as whole wheat flour and breads, bran, whole grain cereals, brown rice, nuts, seeds and various fruits and vegetables.

Soluble fibre absorbs water from the intestine which assists in eliminating waste from the body more quickly. Soluble fibre prevents energy spikes from carbohydrates in the body as it slows down digestion, ensuring that energy is released steadily into the bloodstream, preventing hunger and listlessness which is of great benefit to diabetics.

 Soluble fibre is believed to lower cholesterol levels by binding with the cholesterol (fat) from food and passing it out of the body quickly, thereby preventing absorption into the bloodstream.

Foods containing soluble fibre include soya products, peas, beans, lentils, oats, barley, vegetables and fruits.

Tonica© cakes are low in fats and calories and are the perfect blend of dietary fibre that will keep your digestive system working optimally, ensuring that you achieve and maintain a healthy weight and boundless energy.

Boost Weight Loss with Hidden Veggies!

Hiding veggies in your family’s favourite dishes is a unique way of getting them to eat more fresh veggies and fruit which contain a variety of important nutrients, while reducing the kilojoule content as well as saving money on expensive high protein foods such as meat, fish and dairy products.

Replacing up to 25% per weight, of the high kilojoule ingredients in standard dishes such as meat or chicken casseroles, fish cakes, burger patties, macaroni cheese and cake and bread recipes with pureed vegetables, is a healthy and cost effective way to ensure that your family is receiving the best nutrition while making weight loss completely effortless.

Add half a cup of cooked and pureed cabbage, cauliflower, butternut or squash to casseroles, cheesy pasta dishes or mince while cooked and pureed pumpkin or carrot may be added to cakes and breads.

By diluting meat, chicken or fish dishes with canned or cooked and minced legumes such as beans or chickpeas, it is possible to reduce energy intake by up to 1512kj per day as these foods contain little or no fats and have the added benefit of being low GI. 

To stretch your budget and reduce kilojoule intake even further, puree seasonal fresh fruit and add this to the more expensive foods such as yoghurt and ice cream.

Implementing these simple steps as part of your healthy Tonica© lifestyle, effortless, sustainable weight loss and optimum energy is assured.

Watch out for our forthcoming newsletter series which will bring you mouth watering low kilojoule recipes, weight loss tips and the motivation we all need to lose those unwanted pounds!

HELP! My Child is Overweight!

Experts estimate that 15% of kids are overweight, while another 15% are at risk of becoming overweight.

Why?

Not only are our modern eating habits largely devoid of home prepared, fresh foods, but the foods that we typically have access to are fiddled and riddled with growth hormones, colourants and flavourants that wreak havoc with our hormones. The last and current generation of kids have been raised on this food which explains premature sexual maturity, the extreme increase in levels of fat, prevalence of diseases such as asthma and diabetes - the list goes on.

But what's the solution?

We deserve better, and so do our kids. Read our previous article regarding healthy eating for good tips on eating well.

What we assume right now however, is that you are here because you or your child needs to lose weight. 

Your healthy, safe and natural solution is the Tonica Direct system.
