Manna Weight Loss Program

For instance: A muscular man can be super fit with very little

body fat and have an BMI of 27, just because muscles is heavier than fat, etc.

To determine your Ideal weight, rather use the Manna Ideal Weight Tables.

If you determined your ideal weight and you have for instance 20Kg to lose, try to plan ahead. You should not lose more than 1.5 to 2Kg per week. So, for fast effective weight loss your strategy to lose 20Kg should run over 10 weeks at least.

To lose 1.5 to 2Kg per week should keep you motivated, rather than to conquer the 20Kg mountain all at once. Even if you slip up 1 week, you just have to continue with the strategy where you were before. 

These are just indications of how you can eat, but nothing is cast in stone. You can swap between menus and recipes, as long as you understand the Low GI Principle and try to eat Low GI foods as much as possible.

Consider the menus and recipes and try to plan ahead for the amount of weight you need to lose. If you plan ahead, you might not land in the situation where you get so hungry that you crave unhealthy foods.

Always have healthy, Low GI snacks ready, just for times when your blood sugar drop and you need to prevent yourself from eating fattening foods.

See the part about Insulin on the Manna website and learn how Insulin stores energy in the form of fat. If you can keep your Insulin levels down by means of Low GI foods and exercise, you will stop the fat storing process.

If you suffer from Insulin Resistance and can’t lose weight no matter what you do, download the Free Manna Weight Loss eBook which will help you to set the stage for weight loss. 

There is a lot to be said about the different types of exercise, but research proved that the best fat burning exercise is not the amount of time spend in the gym, but the quality of exercise.

For instance: 8 sessions of vigorous exercise is worth more than 30 minutes of same type of exercise at an average pace.

Example: 8 sessions of 30 seconds each on the treadmill (or any other form of activity) at full speed with a 60 second rest (at slow speed) between sessions is worth much more than 30 minutes of continuous exercise at an average pace.

This method increase fat burning activity for 1.5 to 2 hours after exercising. (Note: To get ultimate results, try not to eat or drink anything else than water for 1.5 to 2 hours after a workout) 

As fruit in nature go through certain cycles before the sugars have developed enough to be eaten, our bodies also need to go through the rest (sleep) cycle to repair and recover itself. 

Water helps to regulate blood sugar. There is a fine balance in keeping your body hydrated and sometimes you might feel hungry, but your body actually requires water.

Always keep a bottle or glass of water nearby and take a few sips at regular intervals throughout the day. You will find that you eat less this way and it will also help to flush toxins out of the body. 

Drinking water at certain time maximizes it’s effectiveness on the body:

• • • 1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal – helps digestion
    • 2 glasses of water after waking up – helps activate internal organs
    • 1 glass of water before taking a bath – helps lower blood pressure
    • 1 glass of water before going to bed – avoids stroke or heart attack
