Learn about the Got Lean? program

A lean, fit, healthy body should be the goal for any man or woman who wants to enjoy optimal energy, vitality and productivity. Many of us carry unnecessary extra pounds that can negatively affect our quality of life and self-image. The process of achieving optimal weight management is dependent on energy expenditure, caloric intake and the balancing of proteins, carbohydrates and fats to stabilize hormonal factors, such as cortisol and insulin, which contribute significantly to fat usage and whether it is used as a source of energy or fat storage.

3 Keys for Healthy Weight Loss and Maintenance

The 3 keys are Support Your Lean Tissue, Exercise Wisely, and Support your Metabolism.

Support Your Lean Tissue with:

• high quality proteins such as lean meats, chicken, turkey, seafood, eggs, low-fat dairy proteins (low fat cheese, cottage cheese, skim milk and low or nonfat plain yogurt, whey protein isolate).
• healthy fats such as raw seeds, nuts and nut butters, fish oils, krill oil, flaxseed oil and extra-virgin olive oil.
• low-sugar carbohydrates such as non-starchy vegetables, beans, legumes and most fruit.

Exercise Wisely:

• Resistance training is best; at least 3 times a week. Use weights, tubing, and body-weight exercises such as push-ups, pull-ups and other calisthenics.
• Resistance training builds and protects lean mass (muscle, bone, organ and connective tissue) more effectively. The more lean mass a person's body has, the more effectively they burn fat.

Support your metabolism:

• With strategic protein intake combined with specific nutrient, herbal extract and amino acid supplementation.
