The Leptin Diet Weight Loss Challenge ®

with Byron J. Richards, CCN Your Guide for Success • April 2012 1 Follow the Five Rules of The Leptin Diet

The Five Rules will help you to restore fitness to your fat cells, hormones, and cellular metabolism – enabling you to have better energy from the food you eat while attaining or maintaining your optimal body weight. Be sure to read “The Leptin Diet” book to understand why it is so important to follow these guidelines.

1. Never eat after dinner. Finish eating dinner at least three hours before bed. 2. Eat three meals a day. Allow 5-6 hours between meals. Do not snack! 3. Do not eat large meals. Finish eating when you are slightly less than full. 4. Eat a breakfast containing protein. 5. Reduce the amount of carbohydrates you eat.

2 Exercise Regularly

Exercise turns on genes that facilitate healthy leptin function and metabolism. Consistency is important. Do enough to see progress in terms of a fitness feeling and support of your weight loss efforts. Try exercising first thing in the morning.

3 Eat Real Food, Plan Your Meals

Just as timing of eating is important, so is what you eat. Eat a variety of fresh, organic foods that give you good energy! It’s important to cut out the chemicals and additives and eat REAL food. See chapter 8 of “The Leptin Diet”.

4 Dietary Supplement Support

These can be used as “tools” to help keep your energy up, cravings at bay, hormones working better, and metabolism engaged properly in calorie burning. Dietary supplements make progress easier for most and are quite helpful for getting started, staying on track, or breaking through a weight-loss plateau.*

Core Nutrition

Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin™

• Superior-quality multiple vitamin Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin provides highly absorbable key nutrients for health. We use co-enzyme b-vitamins that are highly efficient in metabolism to turn on cellular energy production. This improves daily energy level, stress tolerance, and metabolism.*

This top weight management supplement supports metabolism and facilitates fat burning instead of fat storage. It contains mercury-free DHA, pomegranate, tocotrienols, and citrus polyflavones. Leptinal® improves leptin hormone communication with the brain. It helps reduce body fat and prevent excess fat from blocking the function of leptin and thyroid hormone. Also supports heart health and cholesterol metabolism.*

Vitamin D • Essential vitamin for metabolism* We now provide Vitamin D in 2,500IU capsules as well as our original 1,000IU capsule. This is an easy way to boost your vitamin D intake. Vitamin D supports bones, mood, metabolism, and more.*

Protein & Fiber

Daily Protein Plus™

• Top quality whey protein A high protein breakfast can significantly increase metabolic rate and help stabilize blood sugar levels. Daily Protein Plus™ contains the finest-quality whey protein available. It is produced using a ceramic filtration process to leave protein molecules undamaged. It also naturally contains branch chain amino acids that provide specific support for healthy insulin function in muscles. Whey protein is an ideal protein for metabolism (avoid soy protein - it may crash your thyroid).*

Fiber Helper™ or LeptiFiber®

• Reduce overeating; clear fats, sugars, and toxins* Fiber Helper and LeptiFiber contains high quality fibers that help slow the rate of food absorption and provide a full feeling on less food. They also help absorb and clear sugars and fats. Great mixed with a Daily Protein smoothie. Aim to get 40-50 grams of fiber per day to boost weight loss efforts.*

2012 Leptin Diet® Weight Loss Challenge Antioxidants

Daily Protector™ • Foundational antioxidant supplement Daily Protector™ includes the finest fruit and vegetable extracts. It contains lutein, lycopene, bilberry, NAC, vitamin C and more. It supports healthy immune function and contains nutrients for eyesight and skin cell rejuvenation. Essential if the diet is lacking in fruits and vegetables.*

Daily Balancer™ • Top liver support for toxin clearance Daily Balancer™ helps your liver clear toxins from the circulation and lymph system. Fat cells are known to store toxins in order to protect organs from the toxins. When you begin to lose weight, extra toxins may be released that need to be efficiently cleared by the body.*

Quercetin

• Fat cell, immune system stability* Quercetin is a bioflavanoid that has been shown to naturally inhibit the formation of new fat cells. It works synergistically with leptin and adiponectin to facilitate healthy fat burning. Research shows that overweight individuals have imbalanced immune cells within white adipose tissue (fat). Quercetin’s ability to modulate mast cells and other immune cytokines promotes healthier function of white adipose tissue.*

Cardio Helper™

• Features resveratrol and grape seed Contains high amounts of resveratrol and grape seed extract, two nutrients that assist insulin function while being highly protective to your circulatory system. Along with hawthorn and horsechestnut, this product also supports your cardiovascular system. Improves healthy fluid circulation, especially in legs.*

Mangosteen Plus™

• Fluid circulation, water retention* Mangosteen Plus™ contains the high antioxidant mangosteen fruit, a rich source of cellular antioxidants (prenylated xanthones) not found in other fruits. We also include cranberry extract, helpful for kidney and urinary tract health. The diuretic properties of this supplement benefit individuals on a weight loss program.*

Green Tea Extract

Stress Helper®

• Fat-burning antioxidant* This superior-quality green tea extract is standardized for high amounts of polyphenols, total cathechins, and EGCG. These compounds support weight management, fat burning, and insulin function and participate in antioxidant processes. Green tea also naturally contains caffeine, which acts synergistically with EGCG to increase metabolism. Weight loss studies show decaffeinated green tea does not provide the same benefits.*

• Reduce stress cravings and abdominal weight* Stress Helper® contains nutrients for memory and mood that help reduce stress eating and boost mental energy. It contains acetyl-l-carnitine, carnosine, and pantethine to positively support neurotransmitter and adrenal gland function. Stress Helper® also improves the metabolism of fat and cholesterol.*

Calcium & Magnesium

LeptiSlim®

Daily Bone Xcel™ & Daily Builder™ • Calcium and magnesium

Daily Bone Xcel™ and Daily Builder™ contain highly-absorbable calciums plus vitamin D, vitamin K, magnesium, silica, boron, and strontium to enhance bone strength. We include superior-quality coral calcium and MCHC calcium. MCHC is an organic bone matrix readily absorbed as an intact “bone food”. Many calcium supplements on the market include cheap minerals (such as calcium oxide, carbonate, or citrate) that are compressed and glued into tablets. With Daily Bone Xcel™ and Daily Builder™ you know you’re getting the best.*

RelaxaMag™ or Muscle Mag™

• Absorbable magnesium formulas RelaxaMag and Muscle Mag are excellent supplements to boost magnesium intake. They are both formulated to be highly absorbable. RelaxaMag helps sleep and stress. Muscle Mag helps reduce muscle tightness. Take 2-3 capsules per day.*

Thyroid & Adrenals

Thyroid Helper®

• Increase metabolism, energy, and mood* A sluggish thyroid gland makes it hard to lose weight. Thyroid Helper® naturally enhances thyroid function and improves metabolism, mood and energy. By supporting thyroid function, your resting metabolic rate increases and cells use more calories for fuel. Thyroid Helper® also improves afternoon energy and helps to naturally warm up low body temperature. No hormones or stimulants.*

Blood Sugar & Cravings • Control food and sugar cravings; support the pancreas* LeptiSlim® reduces food cravings, increases metabolic rate and promotes stable blood sugar. It naturally supports the pancreas and metabolism of blood sugar and can help you to feel more satisfied from the food you eat. LeptiSlim® contains colostrum for digestive health and immunity.*

Cinnamon Plus™

• Support glucose metabolism and weight* Cinnamon Plus™ contains standardized cinnamon, banaba leaf and coffee fruit extracts. It may be used along with LeptiSlim® to support healthy blood sugar levels, control cravings, and improve glucose metabolism. It is designed to help the liver burn fat instead of produce sugar.*

Pine Nut Oil

• Natural appetite suppressant* Pine Nut Oil contains a unique fatty acid (pinolenic acid) that is highly effective at reducing appetite signals. Studies show that three capsules can reduce hunger signals by 60% for four hours. It has also been shown to improve mental energy and aid the digestive system.*
