My Forever F.I.T Review

FOREVER F.I.T REVIEW

Hi my name is Matt Craven and I'm a working class family man 33 years of age who was very fit in my 20's but my lifestyle changed that as we all know.

•  I got a career 
• I settled down and my family grew 
• Work started taking over as I had bills to pay 
• My body was changing size for the worst 
• My health wasn't good and I was feeling the stress 
• I ran out of time for training and only played rugby every now and then 

Any of this sound familiar ?
Life takes its toll and your body feels the strain and this was the result of those few years that flew by:

My family noticed I was putting on weight and stressed. I was eating when and where I could, most days consisted of eating ready meals, snacks whilst at my desk and on the go, which I knew wasn't giving me the nutrients and minerals my body needed and at times I would eat more calories than I needed so my body was just storing the excess calories as fat.

Looking back at a few pictures one day I could see how I let myself go from being a fit, healthy young man to, well basically I had become a SLOB and was using every excuse in the book as to why I couldn't train or eat healthy.
After a Christmas and a few months passed by these images were still in my head and I was becoming depressed in myself thinking about them and thought I need to change and only I could change it.

So that day came and I searched through some old workouts and training programs I did back in the Forces whilst I was on Tour. I started to knuckle down and get myself sorted, I studied the internet for meal plans and Diet Plans (which were good but I put it back on after I completed the Diet).
So with all this information gathered I could see most meal plans could be costly as some of the food was way above my shopping budget. My Mum could see I was looking to change and mentioned the Nutri-Lean Program with Forever Living to which I refused because of the cost and the failed diets I had already done.

With this said my Mum came back with '' Well this Weight Management Program comes with a  60 Day Money Back Guarantee, so really you have nothing to lose by trying it''.
So I worked it out and it was true it worked out cheaper but not only that it would guide me down the path to weight maintenance and fitness habits that will last for the rest of my life. So with the Money Back Guarantee I had nothing to lose.

Remember there is no '' Quick Fix'' to lifetime weight management.

Here is a Typical Week

Measured my body parts and weight:

Arm - 14 inchs
Waist - 42 inchs
Hip - 40 inchs
Thigh - 28 inchs
Chest - 46 inchs
Weight- 16 stone 7

An example of My Days Program :

Morning - 1 x Forever Garcinia Plus capsule (20-30 mins before a meal)
                1 x scoop Forever Lite Ultra with 300ml of Skimmed Milk (Soya Milk can be used)
                1 x piece of Fruit 4 egg whites (hard boiled)

Snack - 60ml Aloe Vera Gel Drink
             1 x whole-wheat English muffin with tbsp peanut butter

Training for the week

Warm up Skipping 5 mins

10 x Close Arm Press Up
10 x Normal Press Up
10 x Wide Arm Press Up
10 x Tricep Press on the seat of a chair
10 x Arm Curls with Resistance Band (Red)

10 Crunchies
10 Ankle Taps (on each Leg)
10 Inners

REST 1 Minute Repeat Two more times (this was done 3 times a week)

Cross Trainer 30 minutes
Cycling 40 minutes
Walk up and Down the stairs for 10 minutes

This is just one of the Weeks of the program I did with a basic overview of what was involved, some of the days I had 2 shakes it was just what was fitted around my lifestyle at the time.
You can have your own routine that fits around your lifestyle as everyone is different, this is where I will find a routine that's personal to YOU.

The End Result

My result of the Nutri-Lean Program after the 30 days:

 I am happy so far with my results,
I weigh 14 stone 11lbs and am still taking the Forever Lite and Aloe Gel Drink as I am looking to bulk up ready for getting back into rugby.

Remember this wasn't training everyday this was fitted around a real persons lifestyle, a working family man, if you have more time you would get better results than me.







I squeezed in training when and where I could and also did added things like:

•  Watched my portion control 
• Parked the far end of the car park (my partner wasn't to pleased) 
• Took the stairs when and where I could 
•  Spent most of the time working out at home in the house or the garden 
• Used my own body weight for training 
• Bought grapes instead of crisps so the kids and I ate healthier 

Some of these might seem silly but it all adds up over time trust me.

During the program I didn't feel sluggish or down like most diets I had tried, I felt much more upbeat and energized and with the knowledge it was like learning something new again.
People actually noticed me which gave me more confidence to talk to people and friends again I became back to what I was, that happy laid back person.

Since the Forever F.I.T Program I have joined the business and want to help others reach their goals in life and do what I did Lose Weight and change my Life Style because its defiantly paid off.

Why Is It Important To Exercise Whilst Losing Weight?

Believe it or not Exercise is an important part in maintaining overall health and fitness for both you and your body and your mind.

Your Scale Weight can be manipulated through diet alone, for ideal results you want to be looking at achieving a healthy balance between:

• Muscle
• Fat

But this can only be attained through regular Exercise.

As I know and many qualified trainers will tell you, many people don't understand, however, is the importance of mixing:

• Cardio or Aerobic exercise
• Weight Lifting

Aerobic - means '' with oxygen '' so when you exercise aerobically there is adequate supply of oxygen available to create the energy needed for muscles to function.

Aerobic Exercise involves large muscle groups that can be exercised in a rhythmic and continuous manner.
For example:

• Walking
• Running (a lot of people hate this)
• Cycling
• Rowing
• Cross Country Skiing

A few benefits for Exercise

• Burns up Calories
• Speeds up the metabolism
• Release of Endorphines
• Using Muscles- Fibres become smaller
• Exercise can reduce your risk of Heart Attack and Stroke
• You are more likely to have joint pain or lower back pain if you don't do any exercise
• Exercise helps you feel happier

The last one on the list is always good.

Whats Stopping YOU? 

Get Started!

The average adult needs to do at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day, on five or more days a week to gain the health benefits.

Seems a lot!

But you don't need to spend hours at the gym or run marathons its not what were saying here. Were not even saying you have to do the full 30 minutes in one go, you could do:

• 2 x 15 minute bouts
• 3 x 10 minute bouts

just to reach the minimum of 30 minutes a day, this can also be as effective as lengthier sessions. If your just beginning then this could be more of a manageable starting point.

Sustain an exercise habit- the easiest way is to incorporate it into your daily routine.
Simple things like:

• Cycle or Walk to work instead of the bus / car this may not be possible so get off a stop early or park a street away (no excuses)
• Use stairs instead of the lift- again if your on the top floor of a 25 floor building or more jump off a few floors below (no excuses)
• Spend more time Gardening or Walking in the park

All these simple things can help increase your energy output.

I know sometimes it can be hard to motivate yourself to be more physically active and it can feel like a chore.

• Start by changing the way you think about regular exercise
• Remind yourself that it will make you feel better (it might not seem it at the time but gradually you'll notice it and others will to)
• It will probably improve the quality and length of your life
• Most importantly it can be FUN

If you join the Forever Living F.I.T Clean 9 and Forever F.I.T 1,2 you'll get all the help and support you need to learn these simple things and more on your quest for losing weight.

                                             

Why Do Most Diets Not Work ?

The word Diet to most people is  depressing as we think of it as giving up foods that are comfortable and enjoyable to us. In order for you to Diet we need to change the way you view what a Diet actually is doing for you. Rather than seeing it as having to give up things we like we need to change our mindset to recognise we are doing something positive in order to change our shape, size, lifestyle and we are gaining in so many ways becoming healthy.
When you look at any diet you are not eating the way you would for the rest of your life, you eat the foods you may not like very much or just don't satisfy you.

Going from one diet to another or going on a diet losing weight then coming off and putting it back on, then going back on a diet (yo-yo dieting) can be stressful mentally and on the body's system to have large swings in body weight. This isn't mentioned by all these Fad diets out there all they want is their product sold and selling well. I know a lot of people taken various diets and lost weight, which I'm proud to hear that and can see there happy but a few months down the line I see them again and they have put it back on through no fault of their own. They just haven't been given the right knowledge to keep the weight off whilst enjoying their food.

People also forget about exercising, I'm not talking marathons here just regular exercise to get the heart pumping something like taking the stairs instead of the lift, going for a walk around the park or to the shops, park further away from the shop entrance so you have to walk further, just little things like that can help in your quest to lose weight with your diet.

When you begin a diet your body reacts to fewer calories by slowing down your metabolism, burning fewer calories each day just to maintain your body functions. So if you just think just dieting is gonna help you lose weight then your wrong, yes you will lose some weight but what happens is the body will lose muscle mass and store fat as a reserve. When you lose that muscle, your metabolism slows even further so you would have to eat even fewer calories a day to continue losing weight, so therefore YOU MUST make an effort to exercise.

Taking this in mind if you don't exercise and fall off the diet the weight will come back on even faster, as your body is burning fewer calories per day. Even worse the weight will come back on as fat rather than as the muscle you just lost.
A fact for you here, did you know that the average person only gets 30% of nutrients they need for their body even if they eat healthy. So imagine what these Fad diets provide !

With the Forever Living Health Products and Diet Program you get the works on the Forever F.I.T Program.:

• From the Aloe Vera Gel Drink alone your provided with all the vitamins and nutrients your body requires.
• An easy to follow step by step guide

A Calorie Killer

Forever Lean is part of Forever's Supplement range and a key product in their Nutri-Lean Program. Its a fantastic stand alone supplement, which when taken in conjunction with a balanced diet and exercise, can help you succeed to reach your desired weight.
The best time to take Forever Lean is just before you eat which means your able to eat and drink whatever you like whilst taking it and watch the pounds melt away? Really do you think so ? Is there really such a product out there that does this without making you ill? NO

Forever Lean is however a safe, natural supplement combined with a nutritionally-balanced eating programme and exercise, that contains three key ingredients that will help reduce the body's absorption of fat and carbohydrates:

1. A unique fat-bonding fibre derived from the cactus optuntia fictus-indica (prickly pear, Indian fig or nopal to a lot of us). This has the ability to bind fats, which effectively means that less of the fat we eat is absorbed.
2. A protein that comes from white kidney beans which temporarily inhibits the enzyme activity that converts starches into sugar and thus reduces the body's absorption of sugar in the small intestine.
3. The most effective ingredient in Forever Lean is the Chromium trichloride, a very important trace mineral which helps the body's natural ability to regulate blood sugar by acting as a Glucose Tolerance Factor. Important for normal metabolism.

Conclusion

Forever Lean provides two revolutionary ingredients that can help reduce the body's absorption of calories from fat and carbohydrates. Together these two revolutionary new ingredients can help you succeed in your quest to reach your ideal weight by helping to block the absorption of some of the fat and carb calories you ingest.
The third is Chromium a very important trace of mineral which helps the body's natural ability to regulate blood sugar.

Remember to maximise the effectiveness of this supplement it is important for you to incorporate a healthy diet and regular exercise into your overall weight control plan in order to achieve and maintain your weight goal.
