CoffeeSLENDER™ should be combined with a sensible eating plan and daily exercise regimen. The basics never change: You should reduce calorie intake, exercise the recommended 30 minutes per day and shoot for a realistic weight-loss goal of 1 to 2 pound per week.

Here are some tips to help you succeed in your weight-loss goals:

• Drink CoffeeSLENDER™ with all your meals to reduce the absorption of glucose.
• Try to maintain a stable blood sugar level by enjoying more natural foods that are not naturally high in sugar:
• For fruit, look for berries – all sorts – for a sweet tasting treat that won’t compromise your weight-loss goals. Other great fruits include apples and grapefruit.
• For vegetables, stay away from potatoes, corn and carrots – you may find it hard to believe, but these foods are actually capable of spiking your blood sugar. The majority of vegetables are acceptable and can give you the added fiber you need to support healthy weight loss. Broccoli, tomatoes and spinach are great choices.
• When it comes to protein, look for lean sources such as turkey breast, chicken breast and eggs (use egg whites if you are watching your cholesterol). Dairy protein sources include reduced fat milks and cheeses. Yogurt is also an excellent protein that provides minerals and essential vitamins.
• Try to stay away from processed starches such as white and wheat bread.
• Finally, when it comes to healthy fats don’t be afraid. Recent research shows that low fat doesn’t necessarily mean healthier. Great sources of heart-healthy fat include extra virgin olive oil, flax seed oil and avocados. The same nuts that provide you with protein can also serve as ideal sources of good fats.
• Supplement your body with necessary nutrients. A daily multivitamin and adequate intake of calcium are important. Talk with your physician or nutritionist about what vitamins you should take.
• Don't forget to use the best appetite suppressant available to you: Water. Make sure you drink adequate amounts to support your weight-loss program. Eight 8-ounce glasses per day is recommended.
