Xyngular® 90-Day Body Transformation Challenge Commitment #10: I will start each day with breakfast


It's just as important when you eat as what you eat. Consistent weight management always starts with breakfast. Eating breakfast within the first hour of getting up can work wonders on your fat-burning metabolism and how you lose weight and keep it off.
You've undoubtedly heard this advice before, but you may not know why it is so important.

After seven to eight hours of sleep, breakfast is like the switch that turns on your metabolism and sets the levels for your blood sugar, your energy, and even your mood for that entire day. Research has confirmed over and over that skipping breakfast makes weight control much harder. 

It's proven that those who skip their morning meal eat more at the next meal. Their body chemistry will push them to eat higher-calorie snacks to satisfy their mid-morning cravings. They'll struggle with low energy and sleepiness in the late afternoon. It's also been proven that they'll have a harder time than the breakfast eaters fitting the most important nutrients into their diet.

Here's something else to understand: The fuel for your brain is glucose—you need it to think, walk, talk, and accomplish virtually everything you do. Without breakfast, virtually everything you do will be harder to accomplish, including exercise. 

When your body and especially your brain go a long time without fuel, your body chemistry reacts naturally by going into a "saving mode" and slows down your metabolism. When non-breakfast-eaters finally do eat, they're virtually all going to overeat. The body adds more fat when we eat fewer, larger meals, so we're much better off eating breakfast even if we may not feel hungry.
The Xyngular Commitment for today: eat a wholesome breakfast. Not only will it help your weight and cholesterol control, but it will also our improve concentration, our problem-solving ability, our memory, and our mood. We also set ourselves up for much better eating habits throughout the day.

Many ideas for this and the other articles in this series were gathered from suggestions by Kathy Smith, a well-known fitness icon who has led the charge for exercising, losing weight, and eating healthy for over 30 years.

Xyngular® 90-Day Body Transformation Challenge Commitment #9: I will get enough sleep



Sleep deprivation, like stress, is linked to many negative consequences from high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity to a greater tendency toward depression, heart attack, and stroke.
To get through these 90-days successfully, we all need to make sleep a priority. Researchers are telling us that a good night's sleep is just as important to great health and long life as a healthy diet and our exercise habits. There's a strong connection between healthy amounts of sleep and our ability to lose weight.

Again, it's about the hormones. The more we sleep the better our body regulates the hormones that determine hunger and appetite.
By now we've all heard of the digestive hormones ghrelin and leptin and how they work with each other to control our hunger. Our stomach secretes ghrelin when it's empty, telling our brain that we're hungry. When we've had enough of the right quality foods, leptin sends our brain the opposite message so we quit eating.

When we don't get enough sleep, our ghrelin and leptin go out of balance. Our brain's chemistry doesn't get the message that we're full. So we eat and eat and wonder why we're gaining weight. 

One University of Chicago study showed that when people were only permitted four hours of sleep a night for two nights, they had a 20 percent drop in leptin and an increase in ghrelin.

They also had a 23% increase in appetite. They were 33 to 45 percent more likely to favor calorie-dense, high-carbohydrate foods that store fat...things like sweets, salty snacks, and starchy foods.
We can't underestimate the weight-loss power of a good night's rest. Sleep has many other benefits too, like strengthening our immune system, helping us feel more energetic, and keeping our mind and memory sharp.
We get more growth hormone during sleep, which helps our cells repair and renew themselves. Growth hormone also helps us control our body's ratio of fat to muscle. Sleep plays a major role in how we age and how healthy we "look" (think skin). During sleep the heart gets an opportunity to slow down and rejuvenate itself.

When we have to get less sleep or our sleep is interrupted, it's important to take extra care for what you eat the next day. We need to focus even more on lean proteins like fish, eggs, or turkey that keeps us satisfied until your next meal or snack. Then we need to take some extra time that evening to relax so we can count on a better night's sleep.

"I want to be healthier and have more energy to keep up with my little one"



Brandon Bauer was the second-place winner for January in the 90-Day Body Transformation Challenge. He won an IGNITE™ pack.

The 90-Day Body Transformation Challenge has motivated me to lose weight and be healthier.
The best thing about taking XYNG™ is fact that you don't have to work out if you don't want to or don't have time...but you still have the ability to lose the weight that you desire. XYNG has been a huge help in getting me through my long 12-hour shifts. 

My goals for the rest of February and March are to continue on the path that I'm currently on. My goal is to reach 220 pounds by my birthday in May. I have not been there since 2001, so I'm looking forward to reaching my goal. I want to be healthier and have more energy to keep up with my little one.

I try to motivate others to feel the energy increase that I have. I use myself as an example of how well the products work. There is nothing hard about it. You just have to commit, stay strong and follow through. If you do, you will definitely see the results that you are looking for.

"Xyngular® has given me and my family hope for a healthy future"





Kim Lapo was the First Place Winner for January in the 90-Day Body Transformation Challenge. This means she will receive $500 plus a free IGNITE™ pack.
Wow! I was absolutely stunned as I listened to Marc Walker's voicemail letting me know I had won the January 90-Day Body Transformation Challenge! I had to listen to it three times. Then I had my husband listen to it to make sure my ears weren't deceiving me! I am so incredibly excited with the products, the company and the business opportunity. I can't stop talking about it!

I first heard about Xyngular® in August when I saw my friend and sponsor, Kasey Frost, in our home town. Even though I was skeptical, I continued to watch her posts on Facebook and how she answered questions about Xyngular.
In December I decided that I had nothing to lose but weight, because the products were 100% guaranteed. I ordered the IGNITE and it came in right before Christmas. Kasey added me to the Facebook groups: XYNG™ It! and Xyngular Works. Thanks to Kasey and all the great leaders in those groups, I was able to print off resources and documents to help me prepare for my first 8-day IGNITE. 

Kasey also sent me information on the 90-Day Body Transformation Challenge and encouraged me to enter.
After two days on Xyngular's products, my weight started coming off, and my inches started melting away. I lost 13 pounds and 14.5 inches in my first 8 days. My friends, family and co-workers started noticing right away. I continued to lose weight and inches throughout the month...a total of 24 pounds and 29.5 inches. I even had to buy new clothing to wear to work because I dropped two sizes in just one month!

My initial goals in January were (1) to refer Xyngular to four friends, (2) earn my Fast Start bonus and (3) lose weight. I am excited that I was able to reach all three goals so easily. I made time to listen to training calls with Jill Yacobucci. I scheduled my first Eat-'n'-Cheat with incredible leaders—Cala Stadel, Jayna Dyers, and Kasey Frost.
Then I also listened to many of Xyngular's product and training calls each week.
I am a school social worker, so I deal with stress and crisis on a daily basis. Thanks to Xyngular's products, I had energy, mental focus and the willpower to continue to make new and healthy food choices. 

People around me were able to see my lifestyle change because I was a walking billboard for Xyngular. My family, friends and co-workers are still watching my progress, asking me questions, and encouraging me along my weight-loss journey.
Although my husband was skeptical at first, he is completely supportive of me now. He has Type II Diabetes and has also started using the products. We hope he'll be able to get his blood sugar back within normal ranges and not have to rely on all of the medications he has to take to regulate his blood sugar. 

My boys are so excited with my increased energy and weight loss. They share Xyngular with their friends and talk about it wherever we go. 

My goals for February and March are to add exercise three to four days a week and lose 40 pounds by March 31st at the end of the 90-Day Challenge. 

I also plan to reach Gold Manager by the end of March by continuing to listen to business training calls, using the tools available to share Xyngular and helping my team reach their goals. I love Xyngular and how it has given me and my family hope for a healthy future!

I was extremely grateful to be selected as January's winner. Thank you!
