Cinch Just 10Lbs in Just 6 Weeks ~ I made it in our companies newsletter this week!

Just 10

Director, TX

Looking for ways to stay connected with new people or existing downlines who are taking advantage of the free Cinch® Sampler Pack with $70MN or Ultra Cinch® Autoship offers? Check out what forward thinking Marcia F. has been doing with her group to help them with their weight loss goals!

I was watching The Dr. Oz Show last fall and he and his group of core team members, including Brad Lamm, were doing a three-month program from September through December of 2010 called: Just 10 Lbs. During the series of shows, they recommended a variety of plans to help people lose weight. And as I watched the shows over time, the more I learned the more I thought, ‘Why not help people lose their 10 pounds with Cinch?’

So, I called a friend I had been talking to about Cinch at the North Texas Shaklee Association Meeting and asked her if she would like to be in a group of 'Cinch 10 in 6' (our original name). She said "yes" and thus began our first group!

I lead the group through all the components of the Cinch Inch Loss Plan. We meet for 7 weeks, which is 6 weeks of "Cinching." We weigh in, measure and take pictures. I help/teach participants how to keep track of their food, water and exercise on www.Cinchwellness.com  or the daily journal. We have a fairly large group so we are working in teams of two, being accountable and helping our team mates through the Cinch Plan. We are doing one week of Cinch U on Cinchclub.com per week and using Brad Lamm's Just 10 Lbs book and workbook for anyone who has already finished Cinch U.

I have a group of highly motivated Shaklee friends in North Texas who are all "Cinching" together and who are headed in the right direction - to lose Just 10Lbs and beyond! We have a goal to be great examples of what Cinch and Shaklee can do!

A Letter From Dr. McManus ~ Lose Just 10Lbs with Brad Lamm & Cinch

 

Hello Shaklee Family,

 

I am so very excited about 2011 and know this will be the best year in Shaklee ever! Why am I so confident? Because we have exactly the right products that your friends and family are looking for as we start a new year and a new decade! If you’re like most Americans, the goal at the top of your new year’s resolution list is to lose weight and get in better shape. And what better way to do that than with the Shaklee Cinch® Inch Loss Plan - a comprehensive, clinically tested† weight management program. Cinch is specifically formulated to help bring an end to the dieting cycle. In our pilot clinical study, participants on average lost 15.4 pounds and experienced a 100% retention of lean muscle mass, which means the weight they lost was from body fat - not muscle. Why is that important? Because when you lose muscle, you also slow down metabolism, or your ability to burn calories. Cinch study participants retained their muscle mass and lost that unwanted body fat!

Today, over 65% of American adults are overweight - an alarming statistic! Overweight is established using an individual’s height and weight to measure body mass index, or BMI. An adult with a BMI of 25 or higher is considered overweight.

 

People need to hear about Cinch and Shaklee! To help you reach out to all those who need to hear about Cinch, Shaklee is teaming up with Brad Lamm, a board-registered interventionist who has worked on The Oprah Winfrey Show in addition to his spot as a regular contributor on The Dr. Oz Show. Brad has a brand-new book, Just 10 Lbs, in which he provides insight into the various emotional triggers that may result in weight gain and/or get in the way of weight loss. His focus is on “just getting started,” beginning with “just 10 pounds!” Brad loves Cinch and uses Cinch products every day; he mentions this in the book. So don’t get overwhelmed by the number of pounds you may need to lose. Just focus on those first 10. And when you’ve accomplished that, you can stand up to the next 10.

So where are you with your weight? Is your BMI less than 25? If not, it is time to get serious and get “Cinched”! If you’re already at a healthy weight, reach out to those around you who aren’t. Click here to read more about Brad’s book - an invaluable tool to help you on your Cinch path.

We also have a great Cinch Sampler Pack available (Buy One Get One FREE for New Members!!) to make it even easier to introduce new people to Cinch. This limited-time offer* contains products you will love, plus a selection of great Cinch tools at no additional charge. The Cinch Sampler Pack (#59718) includes:

- 1 canister of Cinch® Shake Mix (soy protein blend), Vanilla flavor
- 1 box of Cinch® Snack Bars, Peanut Butter Crunch flavor
- 1 box of Cinch® Energy Tea Mix, Pomegranate flavor

Wishing you great health and prosperity in 2011,

Dr. Jamie McManus, M.D.
Chair, Medical Affairs, Health Sciences & Education

The Benefits of Shaklee's 180 Energy Tea

Continuing with my Cinch (now Shaklee 180) theme for this month (so far anyway!), I would like to post something I just received in email. These are the reasons that I drink 2 Shaklee 180 Energizing Tea's everyday, instead of coffee. Energy Tea has about as much "naturally occurring" caffeine as 1/2 a cup of coffee. FYI, when caffeine is removed from green tea, the good anti-oxidant properties are also removed, but Lipton and other companies won't tell you that! You can't find this kind of "green tea" in any grocery store or specialty shop anywhere! Only from Shaklee! 

The Benefits of “Shaklee 180 Energizing Tea”

The FDA prohibits Shaklee from making medicinal claims regarding this incredibly valuable product, but if you do your research, you will discover a tea that you will want to drink everyday due to its long list of benefits.

Ingredients of Cinch Energy Tea Mix:

• Taurine – an amino acid
• Maltodextrin – a polysaccharide produced from corn starch
• Rooibos Red Tea Extract – an native plant (herb) only found in the Cedarburg mountain region of South Africa … known as “The Miracle Tea” or “Long Life Tea”
• Green Tea Extract – anti-oxidant blend
• Natural Flavors
• White Tea Extract – the least processed form of tea
• Matcha Green Tea Powder – Japan’s highest grade of green tea (the greener than green superfood”

 Shaklee refers to it as “Liquid Oomph”

• containing exotic white, red and Matcha green teas
• that make an extraordinary drink
• which is a safe, natural, healthy, and effective alternative for boosting energy
• with only 5 calories per serving
• great in hot or iced water

Red, white, green & Matcha teas are ranked as leading health-giving substances in traditional Chinese medicine.  They have been known for centuries to have many positive properties:

• anti-microbial
• immunostimulatory
• anticarcinogenic
• anti-inflammatory
• protective against cardiovascular disease
• detoxifiers
• energy & fat loss stimulators

As you will see below, there are some incredible health benefits in each “tea stick” … carry them in your purse, your pocket, your brief case, etc.  You don’t want to be without them.

Ingredient Benefits: Taurine (an amino acid)

• provides detoxifying properties
• provides antioxidant properties, and guards cellular tissue against toxic substances
• causes fat solubilization
• increases the production of bile in the liver (helps keep bile in a liquid state, and is less likely to form gallstones)
• critical for brain development – is used to treat anxiety, epilepsy, hyperactivity, poor brain function and seizures. 
• critical for eye health … a deficiency causes retinal degeneration … adequate amounts of taurine reduce the risk of macular degeneration
• stabilizes cell membranes in electrically active tissues such as the brain & heart.  In the heart it strengthens the heart muscle and helps stabilize arrhythmias by keeping potassium and magnesium inside the cells and keeping excess sodium out. 
• helps regulate blood pressure and reduces serum cholesterol levels
• acts like a diuretic, without the side effects of pharmaceutical diuretics
• reduces symptoms of Type 1 or insulin-dependent diabetes by strengthening the beta cells in the pancreas
• helps people with cystic fibrosis to digest fats more successfully
• provides respiratory protection and is useful in the treatment of Asthma

Rooibos Red Tea (pronounced roy-boss)  (reduces aging of the skin, muscles, internal organs & brain)

• is a native plant (herb)  only found in Cedarburg mountain regions of South Africa where it is known as “The Miracle Tea” or “Long Life Tea”
• has 50x the anti-oxidant properties of green tea
• is naturally high in Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD), an outstanding antioxidant and a prime preventative of free radical damage.
• is beneficial in treating insomnia, irritability, headaches, cataracts, nervous tension & hypertension
• contains anti-spasmodic agents which helps relieve stomach cramping & colic
• in South Africa it is used to treat allergies such as hay fever, asthma & eczema
• contains alpha-hydroxy (for healthy skin) … is very useful in treating irritated skin
• contains anti-oxidants that protect against free radical damage that can lead to cancer, heart attack, and stroke (slows the aging process & boosts the immune system)
• contains a smorgasbord of minerals

 Green Tea (protects health & delays aging)

• 2 cups of green tea are approximately twice the antioxidants of red wine and 7x that of orange juice and 20x that of apple juice.
• contains ingredients that cause body fat reduction, therefore aiding in weight loss
• increases the metabolism
• alkalizes the body and intestinal tract (therefore, helps reduce candida).  improves conditions of intestines by blocking growth of bad bacteria and enhancing good bacteria like bifidus.  Improves conditions of intestines by blocking growth of bad bacteria and enhancing good bacteria like bifidus.
• epidemiological reports show it reduces risk of several cancers. 
• protects the cardiovascular system (reduces significantly serum and liver cholesterol, reduces the risk of death from heart disease, and controls blood pressure)
• protects the brain and the kidneys
• helps lower blood sugar in diabetics
• suppresses aggregation of platelets and prevents thrombosis such as heart attacks and brain strokes
• controls the production of nitric oxide
• promotes oral health & hygiene – inhibits the causative bacteria which contributes to the formation of dental plaque and cavities.  (Green tea has been found to be a potential chemopreventative agent for the treatment of oral leukoplakia, a precursor lesion to oral cancer)
• WBC counts are maintained more effectively in cancer patients consuming green tea compared to non-supplemented patients
• reduces high blood sugar
• a cup of green tea contains about 15 to 30 mg of caffeine, but because green tea also contains theanine (an amino acid that calms) it counteracts the effects of caffeine
• aids in the detoxification of heavy metals (such as lead, mercury, cadmium, etc.)
• active ingredients include
• Polyphenols – a class of phytochemicals found in high concentrations in green tea, and have been associated with heart disease and cancer prevention.  One cup of green tea provides 10-40 mg of polyphenols and has antioxidant effects greater than a serving of broccoli, spinach, carrots, or strawberries.
• Catechins – are a category of polyphenols that work to scavenge active oxygen species in the blood and help protect the body from harmful microorganisms
• One specific catchin is known as EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate)  - which reduces inflammation in many types of conditions, including Crohn’s disease and arthritis.  It has antioxidant activity about 25 to 100 times more potent than vitamins C & E.
• Theanine – an amino acid that produces tranquilizing effects in the brain (3 to 4 cups of green tea are expected to contain 100 to 200 mg of theanine)
• Saponins – Natural inflammatory agents
• Flavonoids – substances essential for processing vitamin C and for maintaining the strength of the capillary walls.

 White Tea

• The least processed form of tea … made from buds and young leaves
• Has more anti-mutagenic (anti-cancer) activity than green tea (highly recommended to reduce the risk of colon cancer)
• Contains high concentrations of catechins including EGCG

 Matcha Green Tea Powder

• Matcha is Japan’s highest grade of tea … it is made from gyokuro, a green tea that has been grown under 90% shade 21 days prior to harvest.
• Matcha contains 10 to 200 times the antioxidant levels of normal green tea (this is a greener than green superfood)
• It contains 9x the beta-carotene of spinach and 4x the beta carotene of carrots
• Boosts energy levels without the crazy over-stimulating effects of coffee (is also gentle on the tummy and gastrointestinal system)
• Boosts metabolic rate by 35 to 40%, therefore Increases weight loss
• Energizes detoxification of the liver, the entire body, including the brain
• A serving of Matcha contains about 70x more antioxidants than a glass of orange juice.
• The amino acid L-theanine is abundant, and has the paradoxical effect of causing relaxation & alertness simultaneously

Reports affirming the Benefits of Red, Green & White and MatchaTeas:

• WebMD Medical News, March 11, 2003 – Green Tea & White Tea Fight Colon Cancer – drink 3 cups a day for cancer-prevention benefits.  “Antioxidants and polyphenols – cancer prevention compounds – are found in highest levels in white tea, which is the least processed of all teas,” wirtes lead author Gayle A. Orner, PhD, a researcher with the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University.  Her study of teas’s protective effects against colon cancer appears in the February 2003  issue of “Carcinogenesis”.

• American Cancer Society - … those who regularly drink green tea are 48% less likely to develop stomach cancer, and 51% less likely to develop chronic gastritis than those who do not regularly drink green tea

• Boston University Schools of Medicine & Public Health – Drinking green tea may help protect women from getting breast cancer.

• National Library of Medicine – consumption of green tea may be prophylactic for arthritis and may benefit the arthritis patient by reducing inflammation and slowing cartilage breakdown

• Clinical Cancer Research, University of California, Los Angeles (Feb. 15, 2005 issue) – Green tea thwarts cancer and many of green tea components work synergistically to protect us.

• Science Daily – Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered that a component in green tea helps kill cells of the most common leukemia in the United States.  CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia) is a malignant blood disease that afflicts about 7,000 Americans per year and kills 4,500.  But now scientists at the Mayo Clinic have found a way of killing CLL cells in the test tube that could potentially be developed into a treatment for CLL, and possibly other cancers in living humans.  The agent in question is called epigallocatechin (EGCG).  It is an antioxidant that is found in both black and green tea, but more abundantly in the unfermented green variety.  The anticancer activity of green tea has been known for years.  Scientists have identified at least one of the mechanisms by which EGCG seems to work to fight cancer … it inhibits a key “signaling pathway”, called vacular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is responsible for transmitting instructions at the molecular level to cancer cells, prompting them to grow and multiply.

• Fujiki, 120, 128, 129 – Green tea is an acknowledged cancer preventative in Japan.  It is possible that the catechins, particularly EGCG, inhibit the initiation and promotion phases of cancer development by preventing free radical damage to DNA.  They have a wide range of target organs, such as the digestive tract including esophagus, stomach, duodunem, and colon, plus liver, lung, pancreas, and skin.  Recently breast, bladder and prostate have been added to the list.  This wide range of target organs makes green teas significantly different from standard cancer preventative drugs.  Green tea has inhibitory effects on growth of cancer cells.  The tea has also been shown effective in helping prevent recurrence.

• American Journal of Clinical Nutrition November 1999 – Green tea increases noradrenaline levels.  Noradrenaline is a chemical neurotransmitter in the nervous system that plays a major role in activation of brown fat tissue.  Activation of brown fat is significant, because it burns calories from the white fat located around our waistline, hips and thighs.

• WebMD Medical News January 26, 2003 – Catechins in green tea not only help burn calories, but also they lower LDL cholesterol

• And, just found today (9/13/11) on Organic Authority: A Cup o' Tea A Day Keeps the Dentist Away.
