Overcome: Family on a different diet

This is one of the hardest obstacles to weight loss that I can think of. I love my family, and I love to do things together with them. But I am the only one in my immediate family that needs to lose weight. So no matter what diet I pick I have to deal with the fact that my family will not need to be a strict as I will need to be and there is likely going to a lot of food that they will eat that I cannot, and food that I should eat that they will likely not enjoy at all (they are pretty picky eaters).

This is where so may people get killed in their diet and weight loss goals because they simply cannot integrate life into their weight loss needs.

And this is where Isagenix comes in really handy. The weight loss plan is very simple and very easy to add to any life style that you and your family might have.

I’m not sure what your mornings are like, but in my house they are insane. There is barely time for any breakfast, let a lone a sit down one. So there is mot much temptation here. I just do a shake while they are going out the door. They get their Eggo Waffles and I get a great tasting shake.

Then sometime in the morning I will workout. I usually go fairly intensely for 30-60 minutes, and intersperse that with a 1.5-2 hour long walk about once as week.

After the workout I will take a few of the IsaSnacks to help tide me over until lunch.

Now at lunch Janille and I will eat together. There are several meals that I like to take out of the Eating for Life book, that my whole family does enjoy and are still nutritious. I put it in a small bowl and/or plate so my portions stay small. Typically this will put me in the 250-300 calorie range.

Then I will do a shake for a mid afternoon snack.

And for dinner another meal the whole family will enjoy.

And then before bed I will take a few more of the snacks to help curb the appetite so I do not eat too late in the day.

2x Meal

2x Snack

2x Shakes

Not too hard to follow at all. The Isagenix supplements really help control the appetite and the addition of real food with the family in small portions helps me live a regular life while losing weight at the same time.

That is something that I can live with!
