IMPORTANT Pregnant women Diets should not be undertaken during pregnancy. In some cases the development of the unborn child can be harmed by a lack of adequate nutrition. Pregnant women should eat a healthy and balanced diet throughout pregnancy; in other words, they should avoid too many fatty or sugary foods.

MY NEW PATH

* Quelle: „Essen in Zahlen“, BRANDeins, Ausgabe 5/2009, Seite 85

In Europe approximately 60% of the population is overweight or obese. (European Association for the Study of Obesity)

There’s an increased awareness of taking care of our own health.Unfortunately there is also an increase in average body weight.Alongside healthy nutrition and adequate physical exercise, con-trolling your weight can make a significant contribution to general health.

Healthy Steps offers a way for you to make a complete change to your lifestyle.It combines the entire skills and expertise of 20 years of Juice PLUS+® experience with the latest research from leading universities within one concept. All this helps you to bring and maintain your body weight in balance in a healthy fashion.

Not every pound/kg over your normal weight will make you ill.Yet, it is as true now as it always has been, that being overweight over a long period can pave the way for many diseases. Often the first signs that something is wrong can be shortness of breath climbing the stairs, increased sweating and pains in the joints and the lower back. However, associated conditions are much more dangerous and these diseases develop insidiously over a number of years, even decades. Nowadays there are many chronic diseases and disorders which are triggered or made worse by obesity.

Your new journey starts here. Set yourself manageable goals which will gradually bring you closer to achieving your dream. You can set these goals on page 59.

The fundamental causes of obesity are:

• natural disposition, genetic causes • modern lifestyle, (lack of exercise,

poor nutrition due to e.g. frequent snacking, high consumption of high-energy foods, fast foods, sugared soft drinks, alcoholic drinks)

• mental stress • eating disorders • endocrine diseases (e.g.

hypothyroidism, Cushing’s syndrome)

• Medication (e.g. some anti-depressants, neuroleptics, antidiabetic agents, glucocorticoids, betablockers)

• other causes (e.g. immobility, pregnancy, operations in the hypothalamus region, nicotine withdrawal)

Source: According to the current, evidence-based guidelines of the German Obesity Society (DAG), 2007

OBESE? What’s that?Obesity is a condition where the amount of fat within the body has increased beyond its normal range.Alongside the extent of the excess weight, which is calculated using the BMI (Body Mass Index), the fat dis-tribution pattern will determine the respective health risk.A simple method of assessing the vis-ceral adipose tissue is to measure the waist circumference.

With Healthy Steps you have made an investment in the most precious resource which you have: Your heath.

Below you will learn what consequences this decision can have for your personal future.

Note:Admittedly, classification with the BMI is not always totally accurate, as people with a high percentage of muscle present a false BMI result.However the BMI has been adopted as the international point of reference.

Why an excessive BMI increases the risk for your health The WHO recommends that obesity is defined as a BMI of > 25.

My BMI

BMI, the abbreviation for Body Mass Index, is a figure which shows you whether the ratio of your weight to your height is optimal.It is calculated using the individual‘s body weight divided by the square of his or her height.Use the chart in your personal BMI Success Planner to write down your weight change over the next 16 weeks and document your personal progress.

Measuring tape with “BMI calculator”: In order to make it easier for you to calculate your BMI, our tape measure contains a “BMI calculator”.

This is how it works: Turn the dial to your height and weight and the arrow will point to your BMI value.An example: The user is 1.80 m tall and weighs 90 kg.Result: The BMI value is approx. 28 kg/m2

In the next section, you’ll find out why, when it comes to weight, you shouldn’t rely on your “gut feeling”.

Hips

Waist

My stomach circumference

To find out if you are at risk for vascular disease, high blood pressure and diabetes, you should measure yourself regularly – and the best place to do this is around the stomach.

WAIST-HIP-MEASUREMENT:

Measurement:Standing and with no clothes on your top half, breathe out lightly.

Waist or stomach circumference:Measure at the fattest point of the stomach (at least 2 cm above your navel); halfway between the bottom of the ribcage and the iliac crest.

Hip circumference:The hip circumference is the largest measurement just above the buttocks.An increased waistline and waist-to-hip ratio is seen as a key risk factor for the onset of various illnesses, such as CVA, coronary heart disease, strokes and diabetes mellitus type 2. In men, this ratio should be less than 1.0 and in women less than 0.85.

13

Risk of metabolic and cardiovascular complications

Waist circumference (in cm)

Men Women

Increased ≥ 94 ≥ 80

Significantly increased ≥ 102 ≥ 88

Measuring the waist or stomach circumference is itself a fairly good indicator:

Everything ok?According to these international values, the tape measure shows an optimal waistline in green, an excessive waistline in orange and an unhealthy waistline in red, so that you can see at a glance – even without knowing the guidelines – what level of risk you currently face. The tape measure is printed on both sides, with one side for women and the other side for men.

If you are in the orange or red areas at the start of the Healthy Steps programme this is another good reason to follow the programme consistently in order to achieve visible success in this area too.

Only 28% men and 32% women eat 5+ portions F&V/day (Sorce: National Healthy Survey for England, 2008)

MY FIRST STEP: JUICE PLUS+® PREMIUM

Today you are choosing tomorrow’s quality of life.Juice PLUS+® Premium is the first step towards a healthier lifestyle.The solution for anyone who finds it hard to consume the daily recommended quantities of fruit, vegetables and berries.And this is true for many people, Juice PLUS+® Premium is now one of the most used and best scientifically documented nutritional supplement in the world.

BackgroundBackground Experts and health organisations around the world always advise us to put more fruit and vegetables on the menu.The main nutrition organisations at International level recommend a minimum intake of 5 portions of fruit and vegetables every day, equivalent to 650 g.However, many surveys (like the National Dieting Survey 2008) show that the vast majority of English people are unable to put this nutritional recommendation into practice.

Juice PLUS+® Premium is made from concentrates from 26 types of fruit, vegetables and berries, harvested when they are ripe.

Why does Juice PLUS+® Premium demonstrably improve healthier eating behaviours? This is accompanied by a noticeable change in behaviour, as the “Juice PLUS+® Children’s Health Study”, a world-wide product study involving over 500,000 participants, has clearly shown (see table).

The results presented here are interim results.

In addition, supplementing the diet with Juice PLUS+® Premium in a week-long dietary phase has particularly clear benefits, because the necessary amounts of secondary plant substances and other valuable substances cannot be gained from eating fruit and vegetables as part of a calorie-controlled diet of approx. 1,200-1,500 kcal.

THE JUICE PLUS+® SHAPE PRODUCTS

“If not now, then when?”

Albert Einstein

For the Healthy Steps nutrition concept, innovative and highly effective products have been developed which allow you to replace meals effectively and economically.Products like the Vanilla Shake, the Vegetable Soup or the handy Chocolate Bar for when you’re on the go.Really fascinating.We think you’ll love the satiety booster, which knocks hunger on the head and heightens the satiety response.

The only programmes that are successful in the long term are those that deal with nutrition, exercise and behaviour according to individual needs. Where nutrition is concerned, the daily energy deficit should be around 500-1.000 kcal.The programmes that have proved most effective are those that use “formula products“ alongside conventional balanced meals.Despite their low calorie content, these products fill you up for longer.

Do you want to assess whether your eating habits are in balance? Specialist nutritional organisations around the world have developed excellent educational/informative pyramids which have proved to be very useful.

A balanced diet is like a pyramid: A balanced diet contains something from each of the food groups – but in widely differing amounts.

Effective weight loss is only possible when the blood sugar level is low.As every meal leads to an increase in the blood insulin level, we recommend a maximum of three main meals a day and no more than two small snacks in between meals (each snack < 200 kcal) to ensure effective weight loss.

Every meal leads to an increase in the blood insulin level. It is only possible to burn off fat, and therefore achieve effective weight loss, when the blood insulin level is sufficiently low (shown in the illustration when the red insulin curve is in the green area).

In order to ensure the most effective weight reduction we therefore recommend just 3 (main) meals a day and a maximum of 2 small snacks in between. The ideal interval between meals is 4-6 hours.

TIP:Do not eat sugar-rich fruits just before going to bed, as this hinders the desired night-time burning of fat.

“Better to eat the right foods three times a day than to get hunger pangs which drive you to the fridge.”

A snack between meals should not provide more than 200 kcal. This could be an apple, a banana or a low-fat yoghurt. Important: You should have no more than two of these snacks per day. It is better to have a high liquid intake of calorie-free drinks than to eat snacks between meals. This keeps hunger pangs at bay.A large glass of water fills the stomach and causes a stretch stimulus, which in turn suppresses hunger.

“Health cannot be bought for it lies in a change of lifestyle.”

Karl Kötschau

Successful weight loss depends on both a sensible reduction in calorific intake and a gradual, long-term change to healthy eating habits. So that you can achieve this, the Healthy Steps Coach is there to help you through the four phases of weight loss.

Phase 1 – StartTo get off to a really good start you should take 2 Booster Shots daily in the first two days - one in the morning and one at midday. The Booster Shots help you to feel full from your evening meal and prevent the onset of hunger pains. At the same time consume 2 meal replacement products and 1 balanced meal (warm or cold). You can decide for yourself which meal you wish to replace. You should only ever eat as much of your balanced meal as you need to before the first satiety signals set in. If you feel that your sugar levels have dropped too low, drink a large glass of water and eat a small snack.

N.B.: Shakes may also be replaced by Bars.

Phase 2 – ReductionThis phase of fat burning has been shown to bring a daily calorie reduction of approx. 800 kcal/day. This does not need to be achieved exactly each day.However, within a week you should be able to replace 2 of your 3 main meals with the Vanilla Shakes, the Vegetable Soup, and the Chocolate Bars. One Booster Shot per day, taken at breakfast time, releases the hunger hormone GLP-1 at the right time so that you do not eat too much of the balanced meal.In this way, hunger pains are avoided altogether. As soon as you have achieved approx. 70% of your dietary goal you will be actively encouraged by your Healthy Steps Coach to move on to Phase 3 – Integration.

40

Phase 3 – IntegrationThe focus of Phase 3 is no longer on weight reduction but on adjusting to a healthy diet and laying down permanent healthy eating habits. For that reason only one meal is replaced by a Vanilla Shake, a Vegetable Soup or a Chocolate Bar during this phase. Here, too, you are able to decide for yourself which meal you wish to replace. It is very important to take the Booster Shot every morning.This helps to keep your midday or evening meal in check so that you don’t continue eating when you are already full.

Phase 4 – StabilisationYou have succeeded and reached your target weight or a defined target. Now the challenge is to maintain your new weight. There are some tried and tested strate-gies for avoiding any relapse. Consider making one day a week your very special health day. On that day you should concentrate hard on a low-calorie intake. It helps to take a structured approach. Example: Every (!) Thursday you play sport. In addition you have 1 Booster Shot at breakfast time, and at midday or in the evening you have 1 meal replacement product (Bar or Shake). This will prove extremely helpful in enabling you to maintain your achievements in the long term and make life easier.

Did you know that…

… Juice PLUS+® Premium can significantly help you while losing weight? Only 1-2 balanced meals are insufficient to supply the recommended daily 650 g of fruit and vegetables. Furthermore in the fat burning phase, known as lipolysis, the metabolism is placed under particular stress. The ingredients of Juice PLUS+® Premium offer protection in this respect.

GET MORE ACTIVE STEP BY STEP

We need to move, otherwise nothing moves. Just 30 minutes a day is enough according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). Whether this is walking, climbing the stairs or working in the garden – the periods of activity only need to be 10 minutes long and you can fit these into your daily schedule. This can be done. But how do you know if you’re actually making any progress? Here, the Healthy Steps Programme provides you with support which is both effective and personal.

Did you know that people who exercise are … • more content • more productive • less often ill • healthier in general • more relaxed • happier

Healthy Steps is for people who enjoy cycling or swimming. Or for those indi-viduals who aren’t sporty at all. Every day the Healthy Steps Coach will send you a personalised recommendation for a movement activity. If this activity is performed, the Healthy Steps Smiley will send you a text smile. You will also receive personal psycho-logical, nutritional and exercise tips, as well as motivating exercises, which step by step will get you moving and keep you active.

“The whole of humanity can be divided into three groups. Those who are immobile, those who are mobile and those who get moving” From the Arabic

The value of exercise for your health: • Regular physical activity reduces the risk of common illnesses such

as obesity, heart and circulation disorders, diabetes mellitus type 2, osteoporosis, backache and colon and breast cancers. Exercise is also a natural antidepressant that brightens the mood. People who are physically active live longer and need less care in their old age.

• In the case of adults half an hour of physical exercise per day is enough to improve health, wellbeing, quality of life and productivity.

• Exercise is always worthwhile, as the possible negative effects of even strenuous physical activity are significantly less than those of a lack of exercise.

46

Obesity

In England 67% men and 56% women

are either overweight or obese.

Little physical activity

40% men and 28% women are active

for 30 mins, 5x week.

No nutritional balance

We eat too much protein and fast-food, and too

many snacks.*

My Weight Success Planner After starting Healthy Steps, use the Weight Success Planner to chart your weight.

What does the research say?• Due to a high energy consumption, physical activity contributes to weight

loss and to maintaining a certain weight.

• 3-5 hours of increased exercise per week with a total energy use of at least 1,500 kcal is required in order to stabilise that weight (see illustration).

• An increase in everyday activity can be as beneficial in terms of weight stabilisation as a structured exercise programme.

THE HEALTHY STEPS SMILEY

With Healthy Steps we give you a coach - not much bigger than a matchbox - which measures and evaluates all your exercise activities via a 3D speed sensor.When you reach your daily target, you will be rewarded. A smiley appears on the display: Healthy Steps Smiley. The name of the device is the programme.

That is why we give you your own personal exercise coach in the form of the Healthy Steps Smiley. The Smiley is far more than just a conventional pedometer. It can identify how long and how intensively you exercise and identify whether you are running or walking.

A smile that motivatesThe Smiley face shows you how much of your daily target you have already achieved. The bigger the smile, the closer you are to reaching your exercise target.

You can choose between four activity levels via the Healthy Steps Coach, according to your personal fitness. Depending on your initial case history, a suitable activity level will be preselected for you. You can adapt this to your individual needs during the set-up process.

ACTIVE FEEDBACK

If the Healthy Steps Smiley data is to be evaluated online the unit should not be switched off under any circumstances, as this would delete all the stored data, which would then no longer be available for analysis.

The Healthy Steps Coach gives you the option of creating a daily, weekly or even monthly graph and analysis of your measured daily and sporting activities. In addition your exercise pattern will be individually analysed using your data at the beginning and then every four weeks. This analysis will be used to provide you with individual recommendations and tips about how you could optimise your exercise pattern even further.

Important Note:The Healthy Steps Smiley can store data for a maximum of 14 days, which means that you should transmit the data from the Smiley to the Healthy Steps Coach at least once a week (after 7 days at the latest). After the 15th day onwards you will not be able to store any further data. The previous data will remain stored until such time as you synchronise the Smiley with the Healthy Steps Coach. This is how the device should be emptied and you will then be able to store a further 14 days of data.

MY GOALS

Define your own specific goals for changing your nutrition and exercise habits.

The goal planner will help you to keep your eye on your targets and to make them a reality. It offers realistic planning support and reminds you of what you have already achieved.

TIP: Motivational photoTake a photo of yourself. The picture should be as large as possible (A4). Try to imagine how your stomach will look when you have reached your goal. Draw the outline on the picture in green. The best place to put this picture is in the bathroom. Set the date by which you want to achieve this new figure. 1 centimetre a month is realistic.
