Tips when using TAIslim

Here are some of the WRONG ways to take TAIslim:

 “I drink 1 ounce in the morning and 1 ounce at night” – WRONG

“I drink 2 ounces in the morning by itself (no water) and 2 ounces at dinner” – WRONG

“I don’t like breakfast so I take it at lunch and dinner” – WRONG

Dinner is my biggest meal so I skip it at lunch and take it with dinner” - WRONG

“I’m drinking other liquids because I don’t like just drinking water” – WRONG

“I’ve been taking 2 ounces 1 hour before breakfast and 1 hour before dinner” – WRONG

“I drank the 2 ounces of TAIslim with 24 ounces of water” WRONG

“I put it in 8 ounces of water and drank it during my meals” – WRONG

“I’ve done it all right but I’m have a couple of (alcoholic) drinks after dinner” - WRONG

“I don’t have time to drink the water throughout the day so I’m drinking 32 ounces at breakfast & 32 at dinner” – WRONG

“I hate exercising and drinking water, so I’m taking 2 ounces at Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner” – WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!

The correct way is to take 2 ounces of TAIslim with 8 ounces of water at the start of breakfast and lunch. 

Or, you will feel fuller faster if you take it 10 minutes before you eat! (But absolutely no longer than 10 minutes before eating.)

You can do the same with dinner if you like!

How to Make Your Fidgets Pay Off

 
For as long as I can remember, nutritionists and exercise physiologists have claimed that the "fidget factor" — activities such as cleaning the house, playing an instrument, even wiggling your toes — has a significant impact on body weight. Then, in 2005, the Mayo Clinic released a study that not only verified the effect of this kind of activity, but also went so far as to say that it was more important than formal exercise in determining whether you were destined to be thin or fat.

The folks at the Mayo Clinic named this phenomenon Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT), but whatever you want to call it, the fact remains that people who move their bodies the most have an easier time keeping weight off. According to his study, obese people sit for an average of 150 minutes more per day than their lean counterparts, thereby burning 350 fewer calories.

The researchers conceded that the NEAT defect in obese people was due to biological differences, not lack of motivation, but they also said that NEAT-seeking behaviors should be encouraged. I agree. And to that end, I encourage you to scrub your tub, take the stairs, dig out your old drum set, play with your kids, put your wastebasket at the far end of your office, wander around when you're talking on the phone, and just plain FIDGET whenever and wherever you can!

Tips for Using TAIslim, by Rick Handel

 

 

Caffeine in TAIslim - why it's essential to your weight loss success!

Some folks seem to be concerned about the caffeine in TAIslim, so let's put the facts on the table. Each 2 oz. serving of TAIslim contains only 100 mg of caffeine, which is less than 1/3 of what you'll get from a medium coffee at Starbucks or any other coffee bar.


That caffeine is there for a reason, and it’s one that's essential to the weight loss effect of TAIslim. Caffeine is not what boosts your metabolic fat burning – that’s the job of TAIslim’s powerful polyphenols from four different varieties of tea, combined with the fat burning effect of exercise. But when you’ve revved up your metabolism and you’re burning fat like crazy, your body actually thinks that something's wrong, and it will do everything it can to stop the fat burning process and get you back to a lower metabolic rate to conserve energy. It does this by activating an enzyme called cyclic adenosine monophosphate phosphodiesterase-3 (PDE3 for short), and that quickly lowers your metabolic rate and ends the fat burning.

Well, that won't help your diet in the slightest, but not to worry! All you need to inhibit PDE3 is a little bit of caffeine along with the polyphenols. This explains why, in the dozens of studies on green tea, wu long tea, etc., they only work for weight loss when the tea has not been decaffeinated.

It’s important for everyone to remember that the small amount of caffeine is not absorbed the way it would be if you were drinking Coke, Pepsi, or even coffee. The fiber in TAIslim limits the absorption of the caffeine. The energy that most people feel with TAIslim is coming from the fat burning and not from the caffeine.

We understand that there will always be a small number of people who, for whatever reason, will choose not to take one of our products. If someone has an absolute intolerance for caffeine, for example, then TAIslim may not be for them. But I've heard from plenty of people who are otherwise highly sensitive to caffeine, but who have been pleased to find that they can take TAIslim safely and without incident.

Constipation and TAIslim!

When first starting TAIslim, some people may experience constipation. This is a temporary condition that almost always resolves itself within a week or two, and it's caused by the body’s adjustment to the fiber, the tea polyphenols, and the food plan.

Drinking more water than our recommended daily 64 ounces (2 liters) will not help, as water has little to do with constipation (it’s processed by the kidneys, not the intestines). Adding GoChi to the diet may help, but there’s an additional solution.

Many people are getting great results with intestinal sluggishness by taking a daily serving of Dannon Activia Light yogurt and/or Citrucel Sugar-Free Orange Mix with SmartFiber. The Citrucel (a natural product made from citrus cellulose) will start working to get things “moving” within a day or two (it’s next to the Metamucil in your pharmacy or supermarket), and the Dannon Activia Light will help tremendously in replacing bad intestinal bacteria with healthy ones. It's a great strategy, will help your weight loss even more, and you can even get Citrucel as caplets if you don't want to mix it.

Some causes of constipation:

Too much protein and not enough roughage in Phase 1. SOLUTION: Move to Phase 2.  At the 1600 calorie  level for women, or 2000 calorie level for men, you’ll lose weight.  

Slow adjustment to the fiber. The answer is to give  your body more time to adjust, and to drink more water during the day (up to  8 glasses of total water consumption including the water you take with your  TAIslim). DO NOT DRINK THIS MUCH WATER IF YOU ARE BLOATED OR IT WILL MAKE  IT WORSE.  Taking a mild laxative is not a terrible idea, but only for a day or two until things return to normal.  See the above tip!

I actually gained a couple of pounds the first few days of drinking TAIslim but found out that I was drinking way too much water (100 ounces) and that for some people it takes a few days for the intestines to adjust to the flora and fiber in TAIslim.  I cut back on my water intake to 80 ounces and started losing not only the couple of pounds I'd gained, but an additional 7 pounds!

I saw a suggestion on the television program "Biggest Losers" that when a person feels like eating something between meals, chew sugar free gum instead!  There are lots of flavors to choose from these days!  I tried it and it works!  By the way, that program is so inspirational!  They are my heroes!  (Along with Rick Handel and Dave Hull!)

Bill loves salads but the calories in dressing really add up so he's discovered that by using those spritzer salad dressings he can spritz and uses a lot less dressing and yet all the lettuce gets covered.  Yes, some will say that spritzing is girly, but Bill says he doesn't care!  He's still a manly man even if he spritzes!

Here's a tip for those of you who travel or at your job.  Take an empty CHI3 bottle and fill it with 2 ounces of TAIslim.  Put it in the refrigerator in the evening so it will be cold and ready to go.  You can drink it straight or put it in 8 ounces of water! There you are--no more excuses for not having it with you at work or when you travel!  Also, you can do the same thing when you are eating out!

I would suggest that you actually measure 2 ounces of TAIslim and 8 ounces of water!  At first I was guessing instead of actually measuring and when I finally poured 2 ounces into 8 ounces of water I was shocked!  I wasn't drinking enough TAIslim or enough water!
