Hi Moms-

I am looking to lose several pounds and am considering replacing one of my meals with a replacement drink. I thought who better to ask than my Mamasource friends. Can anyone recommend one that works and has anyone tried the products by Arbonne, Figure 8?

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards,
N.

Hi N.,
I think you would really like the Shaklee Cinch Program. It works to help you lose fat but keep muscle because it contains leucine, a natural amino acid. The program includes protein shakes and some of the best protein bars I have tried!
You can check out the details at www.cinchplan.com/tammybristol! Alot of people are losing alot of inches and weight with Cinch!

N.,

I represent a product called Mr. CC Maca Elite and we have been having wonderful testimonies on this product. I would be happy to email you some information or give you the details over the phone or meet with you so you can sample our products. We have people who have lost several inches and over 120 lbs with out all the diet and exercise. I know this sounds impossible but if you would allow me I can explain why I love this product so much. Let me know I know dieting can be very frustrating I have struggled with it for years and now I eat what I want and I don't struggle with the over eating or the eating junk food. Look forward to blessing you with this wonderful product. Blessings, Marge

Hi N.,

I have used the Arbonne Figure 8 products and love them. The protein shakes and fiber shakes are full of vits and nutrients and I feel great incorporating them into my diet. I also love the Go Fizz energy tablets (they dissolve in a bottle of water) increase metabolism, suppress appetite and give you a nice energy boost! I would be happy to send you info and some samples and also if you are interested, can share with you how to get the most for your $$$. I'm a cancer survivor and started using Arbonne a couple years ago while in search of products that were pure and safe and botanically based...plus I wanted to get healthier both inside and out and I was impressed with the results and am now involved in the business too.

Again if I can help and share some info and samples, I'll be happy to do so. Like any great find, it's important to share it with others!

You can email me at: ____@____.com

My best to you!

Blocking Hunger Cravings with All-New Attain®

The statistics are staggering! Over 60% of U.S. adults are now overweight or obese, and childhood obesity has tripled since 1980. Fortunately, Americans are waking up to
the seriousness of the issue, and they're opening their wallets in hopes of finding help. Sales of diet products were predicted to amount to $50 billion in 2007. Meal replacement shakes amounted to $ 2.36 Billion in 2006, up 2.7% compared to 2005. And nutrition bar sales amounted to $2.03 Billion in 2006, up 4.2% compared to 2005. All-new Attain with patent-pending CraveBlocker™ technology gives those struggling with their weight a natural tool
in the fight against obesity.

GRUMBLINGS FROM WITHIN

Ask anyone who has ever tried to lose weight, and they'll tell you that one of the biggest hurdles to overcome is their own hunger cravings. Eating right and exercising are the road to long-term success, but hunger cravings can create devastating detours. Recognizing that fact, Melaleuca set out to find a natural way to reduce hunger cravings, and the results were extremely appetizing.

WHERE DO CRAVINGS COME FROM?

Before you can overcome hunger cravings, you have to understand where they come from. Hunger cravings can actually come from two places-your stomach and your brain. When your stomach is empty for prolonged periods of time (usually two hours or more), you can experience hunger contractions that are signal to the rest of your body that it is time to eat. In addition, outside stimuli such as smells and sights can generate craving chemicals in the brain even when there is food in your stomach.

In Melaleuca's quest to help fight hunger cravings, we looked to solutions that addressed hunger cravings at their source and developed the revolutionary patent-pending formula known as CraveBlocker. CraveBlocker is unique in that it addresses the two main causes of hunger cravings, and helps stop them right where they start.

STOMACH

An empty stomach can lead to overeating. CraveBlocker's combination of natural oat and barley-derived Beta Glucan and Inulin Fiber swell in your stomach, helping create a physical feeling of fullness that fights hunger cravings and helps you avoid unnecessary snacking, nibbling, and overeating.

BRAIN

Whether our bodies need the food or not, sights and smells can create strong cravings. Using the power of natural whey protein isolates and potato protein extract, CraveBlocker fights the crave by promoting the release of cholecystokinin (CCK), a hormone that tells your brain to turn off hunger cravings by inducing feelings of fullness and satisfaction.

A REVOLUTIONARY FORMULA IN TWO DELICIOUS FORMS

Melaleuca has taken the hunger-fighting power of CraveBlocker and made it the driving force behind the all-new Attain Bars and Shakes. Available in three delicious flavors, Attain Bars and Shakes make an excellent addition to a healthy breakfast or lunch, and make great snacks on their own. Supercharged by the patent-pending power of CraveBlocker, Attain Bars and Shakes help you take control of your eating.

CraveBlocker is just one more example of using the best of science and nature to create incredible products you'll only find in Melaleuca Country.

This is a great company! I have not tried anything yet that I haven't truely LOVED!! I am happy to throw my old stuff out without even double thinking it! :)

Hey N.,

I substitute Zone bars when I'm (rarely!)skipping a meal. I keep them in the car so I have something if I get super hungry and can't get to something other than fast food. Thery're really good and fill you up. I swear by them. Chocolate Carmel Cluster bars are really good.
