Well, have no fear. We are here to help.
Obviously, the less you can eat out during the short Reduce Phase of the Skinny Up!® Protocol, the better since you have complete control over your meal choices and the way that you cook at home. But, sometimes dining out cannot be avoided. Let’s talk about the best ways to eat at a restaurant and stay on track, while also ordering discreetly… sometimes the world doesn’t need to know what you’re up to. And that’s fine. Or shout it from the mountain tops! You do you.
A few key things to keep in mind:
Alright. So, now that we have those keys to help provide a framework for creating meals while you’re out, here are some ideas on what you could order when you’re out and about:
The liver is responsible for so much in the body and is directly responsible for maintaining the overall health and wellbeing of the digestive system, which contributes to pretty much every other system that exists in the body. Because, believe it or not, every single thing that a person consumes affects the human experience. And the body has a hand in processing and dealing with everything that is put into it. A large part of that job rests with the liver.
How does weight gain or loss affect the liver and its ability to function properly?
When a person gains weight, it does not all gather in fat cells on the outer edges of the body. That type of fat is called dermal fat, or fat that is just under the skin. While dermal fat will likely grow if a person gains weight, there will also be an expansion of fat around and in the major organs… specifically in the liver. This is often referred to as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Most of the time, people don’t experience noticeable symptoms with NAFLD, but since the liver is in charge of so many different functions for the body as a whole, the processes can begin to be disrupted if the liver is not able to function properly.
Conversely, if a person who is overweight, and therefore possibly stressing the liver, losing weight in order to get to a more healthy weight can have benefits. If the functions of the liver that are listed above are lessened when the liver has extra fat, and therefore stress, added to it, then losing an appropriate amount of weight will only serve to benefit these functions. Lowering stress on the liver has been shown to lessen inflammation in the body.
There are a few things to consider when liver support is the goal:
At Skinny Up!®, we know that the entire body is connected. So anything you can do to promote a holistic health approach will end up supporting the entire body. When we begin with the big organs and systems, adding support and removing harmful substances and habits, we can begin to live at new levels of health. If you are ready to kick-start your journey towards greater liver health (and whole system health), the Skinny Up!® Team is ready for you.

]]>December is a big month for drinking and after New Years many people feel the need to take some time off of drinking so attempting a sober January makes sense. After the first week or two, however, those cravings to have a drink start creeping back into many people’s minds. If you attempted Dry January this year or have in years past, you probably know this feeling.
Finding better ways to achieve physical and mental health were both top resolutions for many people heading into 2022. If you hope to feel better all around in 2022, cutting back on or abstaining from sugar and alcohol consumption entirely may be your most viable option. Do your best at sober January 2022 and see how it feels.
Many people have become overly reliant on alcohol to help them get through the recent troubling times. The pandemic has been hard on almost everyone and the increase in daily stress led many to drink more often and at a higher volume. If being overly stressed is driving you to consume alcohol on a regular basis, it’s likely time to attempt a break from the substance.
Continuing to rely on alcohol to treat stress or depression is definitely a slippery slope and can end up being worse for you in the long run. You may be surprised at how much drinking affects anxiety or stress, how well you’re sleeping, and how much energy you have in your everyday life. Many who succeed with a Dry January will continue their sobriety into following months just from how much better they feel after succeeding in their dry January goal.
It's not too late to hop on this popular trend. A sober February or Sober quarter is just as beneficial. Here are a few other benefits to cutting out alcohol from your life that we haven’t mentioned yet.
When people undergo a stint of sobriety, it’s common for them to feel urges or cravings for the substance. That is coupled with more serious urges or cravings for sugar. This is often due to your gut’s dependence on carbs. Candida, a fungus that is often present in the stomach, feeds off of these carbohydrates and when they begin to starve from lack of high carb beverages, like many alcohols or sugary foods, they begin to send signals to the brain effectively increasing alcohol cravings as well as cravings for other carbs and sugary substances.
Skinny Up!® Yeast Redux is the best product on the market to combat Candida overgrowth and the die off that comes from cutting out those unhealthy carbohydrates from your diet. Try Skinny Up!® Yeast Redux and see what a Candida cleanse can do for your overall health and well being. If you love it, keep it going so that the negative effects felt from over consumption of alcohol and sugar can be feelings of the past. Find out more about how beneficial a Candida Cleanse can be for a multitude of different areas in your life.
Many people begin to feel so much better after just taking a few weeks away from drinking alcohol. The same goes for cutting out the sugar from one's diet! So why put in all the work into achieving a goal for a month just to go right back down the same slippery slope of over consumption? A great way to continue those positive feelings is to keep a goal tracker or journal on alcohol consumption, physical health, and mental health.
The fact of the matter is that both sugar and alcohol are detrimental to effective weight loss. If one of your New Year's Resolutions is to lose weight, alcohol consumption is likely making cutting fat harder than it has to be.
If you’d like to kill two birds with one stone, then consider adding on “Skinny Up!® Reduce” and “Skinny Up!® Maintain” to your health and weight loss supplements. These products assist the Skinny Up!® Yeast Redux in making weight loss after a Candida Cleanse quick and easy.* To find out more about all of the amazing products and services Skinny Up!® has to offer, give us a call or check out the rest of our amazing product line.]]>There is so much chemistry going on in the body every second of every day. It’s almost impossible to keep track of how certain activities, foods or other variables affect certain hormone levels either positively or negatively! The body is constantly reacting to outside stimuli so it’s good to at least have a basic understanding of what certain things can do to your body chemistry. Below are the five main hormones that affect the ability to lose weight. Knowing how these hormones affect your body is key in eventually reaching your weight loss goals, especially if you’re someone who’s doing everything right but just can’t seem to lose weight.
If you ask yourself often “why can’t I lose weight?”, making sure you are doing everything you can to keep hormone levels under control is likely a huge part of finally finding those results you’ve been looking for!
There are a lot of foods that for years people thought were ideal for diets and losing weight. Recent studies have suggested however that some of our favorite health foods have actually been making it harder for some people to get the results they want when it comes to losing weight.
Skinny Up!® Yeast Redux combined with Skinny Up!® Reduce makes cutting back on unhealthy sugar while cutting weight fast a reality for almost anyone. If you have trouble with either weight loss or sugar cravings, Skinny Up!® product might be the answer to your issues.*
When you push your body to the limit day in and day out, it gets used to burning calories at a rapid pace. You may think that this is great for rapid weight loss but in reality the body becomes so endurance focused that it begins to store up fat in preparation for those grueling workouts. Your body also begins to crave larger portions so that it can preemptively get ready for the seemingly non-stop cardio. So what’s the solution? Take a few days off from the super long aerobic exercises and focus those days on other forms of exercise.
Yes, it’s true. Gaining muscle will not help you see your fat loss on the scale. You will, however, be converting those pounds of body fat into muscle which isn’t a bad thing at all. Lean muscle weighs more than fat so if you’re lifting weights on a regular basis you might not be seeing the weight loss that you intend to, but in reality, gaining weight through lean muscle is just as important and healthy for the body as losing weight from fat.
Your recovery days can actually be more important than the workout days! This is because your body actually burns the majority of fat while in recovery mode. If you’re a gym rat and feel like you can’t take any days off, it’s ok to switch it up and take a yoga or Pilates class instead of sticking with the same old routine. Keep the body guessing so that you’re working out the entire body rather than just hitting the same muscle groups day in and day out.
If you’re new to working out and you’ve really been hitting it hard, it’s likely your body isn’t used to the high intensity exercises and will go through some major changes within the first few months of pushing yourself. New forms of exercise or harder workouts can lead to micro tears in the muscle which cause inflammation and furthermore water retention during the healing process.
That translates to your body taking on water weight which might not subside for a few months. This is part of the process and completely natural so you shouldn’t worry about it too much. The water weight is temporary and will eventually go down. Don’t get frustrated with it, just keep up the hard work and stay motivated.
You’ve likely heard about people who have trouble losing weight due to genetic issues like thyroid problems. An underactive thyroid is often the source of rapid weight gain and it’s not a rare occurrence. Some 20 million people nationwide have issues with their thyroid, but don’t give up hope if you’re one of them. Talk to your doctor if you believe you’re experiencing rapid weight gain due to a suspected underactive thyroid gland!
Skinny Up!® products lay the groundwork for the ideal conditions the body needs to lose weight. They allow for proper digestion when gut health is struggling, they provide natural energy without the shakes and jitters of many other weight loss supplements on the market, and last but not least, they make it much easier to keep the weight off once you’ve put the work in the shed that stubborn belly fat.*
Are you constantly asking yourself, “why can I not lose weight?” Thanks to Skinny Up!® weight loss drops, there is still a chance for you to get the results you’ve been striving for. If you’ve tried everything to lose weight and you’re beginning to feel frustrated with your results, or lack thereof, don’t give up hope yet! Skinny Up!® has heard that story before and proved plenty of skeptical customers wrong. Don’t take our word for it, see for yourself. Check out our customer testimonials and read their journey. You may just feel the need to give one of our packages a try yourself.
]]>Most people have gone through the feeling before at least once in their lives. Thinking that this is the year. This year is going to be different and you’re going to do better and have better results. Whether it’s saving more money, picking up a new hobby or getting in shape/losing weight, continuing a new year's resolution into following years is statistically rare.
A main issue with this phenomenon is that people often think in grandiose ideas and plans that aren’t exactly realistic for the average person. Our lives are busy and complicated. Does it make sense to want to get in shape and lose 50lbs? It can, but is it realistic to correct many poor habits, spend countless hours in the gym, and change diet trends all over night? Very Unlikely!
That’s why the Skinny Up!® team has put together some diet and exercise options that will feel less stressful and more doable moving into January 2022. These subtle lifestyle changes can still get you great results for your 2022 weight loss goals, however. You just need to believe in the science behind a healthier way of living and stick with it!
Recently, a lot has changed in the realm of weight loss and the science behind weight loss. Much that has come to pass in the past few years is related to health and keeping up with staying healthy from home. The pandemic has introduced a lot of home health activities that have seemed to stick and people are living their own healthy lifestyle differently than in years past.
As far as nutrition is concerned, things like the Kelp Diet, Keto and Carnivore diets, as well as the Mediterranean and Paleo diet, are likely winners of 2021 and are likely to stick around long into the current decade. Low carb and no sugar is still in, so if you need a new look at these existing diets, check out Skinny Up!® 's brand new recipe book. These fresh ideas go perfectly with our protocol and are specifically put together for those of you who may need to mix up your mainstream low carb diet.
At home all-in-one gyms are taking the place of traditional gyms and classes across the country and people seem to love them. A lot of this comes from the concept that all the science and technology is now available to the general public at reasonable prices. If you have the availability of a personal trainer and nutritionist at home, then what’s the motivation to get to the gym for a workout?
Doing it all from home is surely convenient and doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon, but do you really need fancy equipment to get the same results? There are plenty of other, at home, COVID safe activities you can do to keep your body active, get in shape and lose weight for minimal cost. Continue reading to check out a few low cost, easy to integrate home workout ideas that are perfect to go along with the Skinny Up!® Protocol.
In reality, you don’t need to look far for a wide variety of different activities for all shapes and sizes of individuals. Weight loss challenges aren’t anything new but they’re sticking around in large part because they aren’t difficult to understand, carry out, or keep up with! If you really hate running, it’s not hard to find almost any other type of cardio adapted into a multitude of different challenges for all different skill levels. Some of these challenge days aren’t even physical activity and throw in something fun and exciting to do as a break or just to try something new.
Weight loss challenges don’t have to be all that complicated or even challenging at all. It really comes down to having a 15-30 minute time slot dedicated to a short quick workout. If you’re able to set aside that slice of your day for a few push ups, sit ups, jump ropes, lunges or whatever your daily challenge consists of, you’ll be on your way to working up to being better off physically and mentally. Heck, even walking for that short allotted time every day will significantly improve health. Mix it up, keep it interesting, and try to have fun with it!
There is no one size fits all and it's ok to try a few different approaches before finally finding one that works for you. The most important thing is don’t give up. Keep trying new things if something else gets old over time. It’s ok, and frankly encouraged, as long as you keep moving forward.
Starting out January 2022, you probably don’t want to jump into something unsustainable that’s easy to give up in just a few short weeks. Sometimes it’s best to start out small and work up to something big like significant weight loss goals. Weight loss isn’t easy, but having the help of weight loss challenges and easy to take sublingual weight loss supplements makes it much easier.
For a large majority of the Skinny Up!® Protocol, you’ll be encouraged to actually avoid doing stressful or extremely strenuous workouts. That doesn’t mean, however, that we are suggesting to avoid exercise altogether. It’s still very important to keep active, even if it is just a quick low intensity workout a few minutes a day. There are hundreds of quick and easy weight loss challenge plans to try out and pick from. Here are a few more of our favorites.
There are so many tools out there that can help you achieve your weight loss goals. Whether it’s a new weight loss supplement you’re trying out, a fancy new piece of workout equipment, a fresh new dietary plan, or simply just trying to stay more active in general the main thing to remember is results don’t happen overnight. Stick with it and you’ll surely see the results you desire in 2022.
Skinny Up!® has talked a lot this year about specific weight loss trends that we don’t necessarily like or agree with. We want to stay informative and truthful about certain products or ideas out in the market that may be manipulative, untruthful or unreliable. That doesn’t mean all the new weight loss trends that have hit mainstream this year are all bad. Check out our recent blogs to get an idea of what the best and worst weight loss or weight management ideas and products were for 2021.
Moving forward into 2022, we can anticipate there being plenty of new weight loss trends to certainly hit the mainstream weight loss market. Other dietary trends that are relatively new and emerging are…
Luckily for you, the Skinny Up!® team has already come out with a new recipe book that already incorporates many of these scientifically backed dietary ideas into it. Our new recipe book is a must have for people who might need a change of pace from their routine weekly meals or just want to eat better in general.
If you haven’t tried Skinny Up!® products then we definitely recommend you give it a shot and see for yourself how well the products and protocol actually work. Give us a try for January 2022 and meet those weight loss goals. For a quick and easy weight loss or weight management process, you’ll be glad you did.
The Skinny Up!® team wishes everyone a happy holiday season and success with all future goals. Feel free to reach out to us for any concerns or questions, or to write to us about the success you’ve had with our amazing products.
]]>While studying the relationship between the microbiome (the gut-brain relationship) is relatively new, it is becoming more and more accepted and acknowledged that there is a relationship between the health of our guts and the way that we think and perceive the world around us. A goal with Skinny Up!® products is to reduce the amount of inflammation in the body, specifically in the gut, by offering highly nutritious food and quality supplementation. Skinny Up!® Yeast Redux, in particular, is designed to address candida yeast overgrowth in the gut, cutting of sugar cravings at the source, and reducing inflammation levels throughout the entire body.
Let’s break down a few of these terms… Permutations refer to the arrangement of the microbiome in a definitive order. So when this order changes in any way, things get off and trigger LPS production. The vagus nerve is a cranial (brain) nerve that controls many of the parasympathetic responses. This means that this nerve helps to control the heart, kidneys, digestive tract and how they operate within the body. When this nerve is incorrectly signaled, the body still responds and can produce depression.
It is, therefore, critical that we address this issue and create an intestinal environment that will breed health. If the gut microflora affects depression, and depression affects the gut microflora, and the cycle keeps continuing, then there must be intervention. Skinny Up!® Yeast Redux is specifically designed to do just that. The entire Skinny Up!® protocol will help to rediscover quality eating patterns (affecting the gut microflora) and also is a helpful tool in empowering individuals to be in control of their diets, schedules, and reminding them that they can do anything.

]]>Brands like Rae’s Metabolism Drops and One Shot Keto may be advertising their products as miracle weight loss supplements, but before you jump on the trend, there are a few things you should know about these products.
“Let’s get skinny” was the slogan many influencers on TikTok were using to support a new weight loss trend, Rae's Metabolism Drops. Wouldn’t that be great? Unfortunately there was plenty going on behind Rae’s Metabolism Drops that turned out to be not so great! The three main ingredients found in the viral sensation’s formula were raspberry ketones, caffeine, and taurine.
These may seem harmless enough, but when high school influencers were taking more than three times the recommended doses, you’ll find that the caffeine levels act more like laxatives than appetite suppressants and energy boosters. That means you might be losing weight, but it’s more likely from stomach issues in the restroom rather than comfortably the way you want. It's safe to say that Target’s decision to pull this product from shelves was a good one because of how irresponsibly it was being used and how unregulated it was.
These types of products are also meant to be used by adults, not adolescents. Taking dietary supplements while going through puberty or early teenage years could be extremely harmful for the body’s natural development. Much of the buzz generated over this product was through underage influencers which many believed to be dangerous and irresponsible for the company. Because of this, Rae’s decided to discontinue the product altogether.
Not only is the practice of using laxatives for weight loss not safe, it’s not even effective! There is no scientific evidence that recommends that body fat is reduced from the use of laxatives or that it in any way promotes long term weight loss. All you’re really doing by participating in this harmful act is flushing out water weight. This can lead to dehydration and...
A better approach to weight loss is finding an all natural weight loss drop brand that isn’t loaded up with caffeine or laxatives. These might allow you to lose weight fast, but in very unnatural and unhealthy ways. Skinny Up!® brand weight loss drops are designed to aid in natural but rapid weight loss.* We don’t include synthetic ketones or HCG hormones to change the body’s chemistry in unknown and unregulated ways.
One Shot Keto pills are being marketed as a weight loss supplement that “melts belly fat without any exercise”. Similar to Rae’s, this so-called miracle pill, One Shot Keto, utilizes synthetic ketones to burn fat. Do they actually do what they’re marketed toward or are there untold negative side effects that the “sharks” and producers don’t want you to know about? Keep reading to learn more...
Ketones in the body can help you burn fat faster. These occur naturally from the breakdown of fats. Having high levels of ketones in the blood, however, has negative consequences! Symptoms include, but are not limited to
If you suffer from diabetes, liver disease or kidney disease, or consume alcohol frequently, health concerns with high ketone levels can become more serious with the development of a condition known as Ketoacidosis. This shuts down insulin production in the body and can cause
Synthetic ketones found in Rae’s metabolism drops and One Shot Keto, along with HCG diet drops might actually get results when it comes to weight loss, but at what cost? Is a few pounds off the waist line really worth feeling absolutely horrible, risking your own health, and possibly safety?
Getting the flu, developing an eating disorder, or contracting a tapeworm can provide the same results as these types of questionable trends, but they aren’t recommended methods for weight loss because there are obvious dangers associated with such things. Why in the world then would anyone put something into their body that has the potential to cause sickness or long term damages? Don’t risk it and find a better solution to weight loss.
There are all natural weight loss drops out there that do the job effectively and efficiently without risk of bodily harm. Raspberry ketones might sound natural and harmless, but in reality they’re neither. Don’t get fooled by rich or famous people that you see on TV or the internet telling you that something is safe when in reality it’s not even FDA approved. Make sure you know the facts before you jump into something head first and end up getting sick or hurting yourself.

Our customers rave about the overwhelming success they’ve experienced while on and after taking the products that make up this amazing brand line.* There are no jittery after effects or nausea that comes from the all natural ingredients that make up our amazing line.

]]>We will explore the myths and misconceptions about metabolic rate to better understand what is really working and what is more worthless trends.
Science really just doesn’t back this trend up. Eating more often may be able to reduce hunger cravings in the short term, but over long periods of time your body begins to adapt to the change in eating patterns and become dependent on the different caloric intake during those periods. This might result in a dependence on more calories to keep energy and glucose levels up in the long run.
The whole basis behind the idea of eating more frequently during the day is more than just the myth of metabolic rate change. Many people who have bought into the idea of six meals a day weight loss believe that the main reason this technique works in weight loss is to control overeating from extreme hunger cravings.
Here is where six meals a day compared to three might actually help. If you’re used to eating every six hours or so, you may experience a decrease in blood sugar and be susceptible to eating whatever you want. With little to no limitations regarding portions, this increase in caloric intake is a slippery slope. You could find yourself eating way too much without even realizing it.
Many doctors and specialists will tell you that this really comes down to a basic understanding of caloric intake and energy expenditure. There are genetic factors that do come into play as well, but this general guide should help give a good estimate of how many calories you should be aiming for daily:
Feasting can be a lot of fun, but, unfortunately, stuffing yourself until you’re full is actually a suggested way to gain weight fast for those trying to put on a few pounds. Spreading out your eating may actually allow you to limit your intake better, but for people who do find themselves overeating often, there may be better ways to deal with portion control and calorie intake.
People overeat for plenty of different reasons. One person could use eating to cope with stress and anxiety while another might just have less of a desire to eat recommended portions for the purpose of weight management.
Portion control is hard if you fall into the habit of eating until you’re “full”. When that feeling of fullness keeps taking more and more intake to achieve you could find yourself in an uncontrollable spiral of eating more and more as time goes on. Likewise, if eating is a way to cope with anxiety and stress, some days might be worse than others and you may find yourself eating constantly.
If you find yourself in one of these situations, it’s best to try and nip the problem in the bud and seek help early on. The longer you wait the harder the cycle is going to be to break. If you are deep in a cycle of unhealthy eating habits, counseling or having an accountability buddy to help talk you through it can truly help. Introducing a light, natural, appetite suppressant can also help get you back to normal intake portions.
Try to avoid these foods if you are trying to lose weight or maintain your current weight. Many of these foods are high in calories and carbohydrates, but some have also been known to slow down the metabolism for some individuals.
If you read the long list of all natural ingredients that go into all of our amazing products, you’ll see that our products introduce everything your body needs to lower stress so that the body is able to consume stored nutrition at a higher rate. Our products also give you the energy needed to burn stubborn belly fat while actively cutting out cravings for foods that are detrimental to overall health. If you want to lose weight quickly while also supporting your metabolism and overall health, give Skinny Up!® products a shot today. You’ll wonder why you hadn’t jumped on board this amazing brand earlier!
]]>Most medical professionals won't recommend long term fasting practices as there can be side effects and medical drawbacks, but short term intermittent fasting is becoming more and more widely accepted in the medical community as safe and effective.
Intermittent fasting is based on the idea that you can quickly lose weight or gain health benefits by merely withholding from eating for longer than normal time periods. The science behind intermittent fasting and weight loss is simple: after hours of fasting the body uses up its stored supply of sugars and begins to burn fat for energy. There is much more to it than that though! Recent studies have found that weight loss is just the beginning to uncovering the health benefits of intermittent fasting.
It is important to check with your doctor or healthcare professional before starting fasting. Starting out with smaller periods of fasting to begin with is recommended.
One might think that because of it’s recent popularity, intermittent fasting is something new. Nothing could be further from the truth, however. It has actually been used as a medical practice since the 5th century when the great physician Hippocrates prescribed abstinence from food or drink as a cure for certain physical conditions. The physiological effects of fasting began to be studied in the early 19th century and studies began to take place on the side effects and benefits derived from fasting. As those benefits became more obvious, the practice of fasting for medical or health purposes was more and more widely used as time went on.
The practice of fasting for religion started as a way for priests and priestesses to cleanse themselves as they attempted to get closer to gods or deities. Many times, after a fast, the god’s would approach mortals in dreams and reveal divine messages. In some cultures fasting was a way to appease an angered deity and was seen as a small sacrifice. This idea is seen more in modern religions before or during sacred holidays in order to reach a transcendent state.
Early humans relied on hunting and gathering for nourishment. As time went on, farming became common practice and people had more availability to more volume and different varieties of food, but for the most part, overeating was reserved for the elite, wealthy and royalty.
Over the past century, the eating habits of the world have changed dramatically. With the introduction to indoor lighting, easily accessible entertainment, social media, and the internet, people are up earlier and awake later. The modern man is also more likely to have a job inside with less outdoor activities and exercise. This translates into more time to sit at your desk working, streaming or gaming, and more availability to large portions of unhealthy food.
Intermittent fasting is likely to affect women differently than men. It also may have different benefits for women than those found in fasting for men. Studies show that increased heart health and a decreased chance of diabetes are among the most substantial side effects of long term intermittent fasting. It is also likely to decrease appetite which makes maintaining a healthy weight more obtainable. After the fasting or dieting is halted or a break from the intermittent fasting is taken you can still reap the weight loss benefits from this period of decreased appetite.
There is no “one size fits all” model that works for everyone so if one method just isn’t working, it’s ok to try another. Women are usually instructed to take a more relaxed approach to fasting than men, especially when starting out. This should likely include shorter periods of fasting or fewer days out of the week to fast. It is also beneficial to try and eat well when you are allowed to eat as this will aid in the weight loss process.
The 5:2 diet or a modified version of alternate day, (eating about a quarter of your normal intake during fasting days) work well for many women so those might be a good starting point. When it comes down to it though, the best approach is the most life-giving approach that can be incorporated into your life in the long-run.
Skinny Up!® does recommend while you’re on our plan and protocol to stick with our food intake. Just like all these other methods, however, there isn’t a magic formula that works for everyone when it comes to losing weight. If you feel like you’ve gone through the full Skinny Up!® protocol and you could eat less or maybe just want to try something different, it’s ok to try one of these fasting methods to go along with taking the Skinny Up!® brand supplements. Don’t, however, stray away from the types of foods and vegetables we have recommended for you as they were specifically included to help in cutting weight quickly.
For more information about how to follow our recommendations while also incorporating intermittent fasting, feel free to contact our team and we’ll be happy to help you in any way possible. Remember, try your best to achieve your weight loss goals and we guarantee that you’ll be happy with the results!*]]>Diet sodas have been around for a while now. The first diet soda was introduced in 1958 with diet Rite and many brands were soon to follow suit. Everyone was trying to get a low calorie option onto the market but there hadn’t been much medical research regarding the effects that the sugar supplements, sweeteners and additional additives could have on the body in the long term. Recent studies have shown that there are, in fact, many health concerns associated with drinking these so-called healthier options.
More and more evidence is stacking up against diet soda and artificial sweeteners, confirming that they aren’t the healthy alternative that everyone thought they would be ten years ago. Even with the health benefits over original sodas, diet sodas can still lead to serious concerns including:
If your brain is getting tricked into eating more or having increased sugar cravings due to something you’re putting in your body, wouldn’t you want to know? That is likely the case with both regular ingestion of sugars and sweeteners. One study found that diet soda and sweeteners may actually be worse for sugar cravings than regular soda or original, non processed, sugar. Another study suggests that long term use of diet soda is associated with developing a larger waist circumference and more, difficult, visceral fat.
There are many myths about the diet alternative and it’s original predecessor. The low calorie option was a godsend for people who had fallen in love with the beverage but understood the toll that frequent and consistent intake could and likely would take on the body. But how much healthier or risk free, if any, is diet soda than the regular?
There are small variations to the flavors from the regular recipe to the diet one, but in reality, the main difference in the two is a switch from sugar or high fructose corn syrup to a sugar substitute. Popular sugar substitutes include aspartame, acesulfame potassium, sucralose and stevia.
Coke Zero has, as the name suggests, zero sugar. Believe it or not, neither does Diet Coke. Coke brand claims that the no sugar variety is actually closer in taste to the original, but that is for the consumer to decide. Coke Zero gets its sweetness from aspartame and acesulfame K, the same two sweeteners found in Diet Coke. Other than that, the only real difference chemically is the acid used. Zero uses sodium citrate while Diet has citric acid as an ingredient instead.
That all may sound very technical and in reality, it doesn’t matter if one is slightly better for you than the other because they’re both more than likely not going to be beneficial to your weight loss or maintenance goals. Neither drinks offer any nutritious value to your diet so believing that one is better for you than the other just doesn’t make a lot of sense when you’re on a serious weight loss journey.
There is nothing nutritious about any soda really. Just the label of diet signifies that there are less calories than the original sugar packed drinks that we all fell in love with and became addicted to as kids. When you’re trying to decide what bubbly concoction to grab out of the fridge, remember this: If you're trying to lose weight, that diet or zero calorie coke may not be your best option. All of these different brands are really made up, primarily, of the same base ingredients. When it comes down to it, none of them are necessarily beneficial to consume regularly for extended periods of time.
Those ingredients are:
If you’re looking for a healthier option, or maybe just to decrease your intake of soda or diet soda altogether, it may be time to try stocking up on something different. Flavored soda waters (aka seltzers or sparkling water) are all the rage now and can be a great alternative to traditional soda or diet varieties. Maybe even throw a splash of your favorite juice in with it to give it an extra kick! Trendy items such as low sugar kombucha, which offers probiotics; or watermelon water, which has potassium and citrulline; are both much more beneficial to the body.
Soda and Diet Soda are relatively addictive substances. If you’re trying to kick the habit but you’re finding it difficult due to those pesky sugar cravings continually popping up at the worst times, Skinny Up!® has a solution for you.
Sugar and sugar alternatives aren’t the only things that are raising health “red flags” as far as soda and diet soda are concerned. The common claim is that drinking large amounts of soda water decreases calcium in bones and teeth. Some people believe that IBS is also associated with or worsened by large quantities of the soda as well. They’ll even tell you that soda water can still make you gain weight even without all the sugars and other additives found in soda pop.
Studies found that soda pop did decrease calcium levels but not soda water or other non sweetened beverages with carbonated water. Another later study revealed that while soda and diet soda do cause tooth decay, their healthier sugar or sweetener free options did not, and that these claims were common misconceptions.
Carbonation may cause bloating and gas, but will not be the onset cause of IBS. And as far as weight gain goes, soda water might calm your stomach and allow you to have more of an appetite or eat more, but the liquid itself has no other correlation with packing on pounds. That is, as long as other additives aren’t adding calories to the concoction. Things like sodium, acids, sweeteners and flavors are likely to do just that, so keep an eye out for what you’re actually putting into your body before buying in too much.
Our all natural products are great aids for pretty much any aspect of your weight loss or weight maintenance journey. If you’ve been struggling to lose weight and don't know why, it may be as simple as bad gut health or candida overgrowth. Maybe you have a bit of a sweet tooth and need an assist to help break the habit of caving to those sugar cravings.
Whatever it is, Skinny Up!® products and our team is here to help. Check out our reviews and see how successful our products have been for our amazing customers or reach out to us with any questions or for more information.
]]>Most people don’t realize just how beneficial the B vitamins are. They are part of good nutrition and are easy to get through green veggies, pure whole grains, dairy and especially meats. B vitamins promote so many healthful things in the body that it is difficult to know where to start.
The big daddy of the B vitamins that many have heard about and can tell almost immediately that your low in is B12. It is huge in our lives because it does so much when it comes to your DNA, your nervous system, and your blood, specifically your red blood cells.
It can be confusing when your B12 levels are low. Some symptoms of low B12 levels might include:
Other signs include:
Additionally, stroke potential is heightened because of this deficiency due to increased tendency of blood clotting issues.
There are a few main ways that Vitamin B12 can become deficient in the body. Poor diet is at the top of the list. Since B12 is in green vegetables, whole grains, animal fats and quality dairy products, when a diet consists of mostly processed foods, it can be difficult to get enough B12 in the diet through food alone.
Some heartburn medication can contribute to lower B12 levels in the body, as can a diet that is void of many animal fats like vegan diets or some vegetarian diets. In this case, it is important to supplement with B12 vitamins in addition to a quality diet.
Red blood cells carry oxygen and B12 is one of the big work horses of red blood cell formation and function. If the body isn’t carrying oxygen well, it can become hypoxic, meaning your body is very slowly acting as if it is suffocating.
Other factors in low B12 levels include alcoholism, pernicious anemia, as well as many digestive disorders like ulcers, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. These disorders can create low blood levels from the irritation or ulcers in the gut. When this happens, blood can enter the digestive tract causing bloody stool and therefore depleting the body of life-giving contents of blood.
Simple B12 supplementation can contribute to the healing of the gut and the restoration of proper blood health.
Besides all of the signs and symptoms of low B12 levels listed above, there is the issue of DNA production and replication. Without B12, another important thing is that your DNA doesn’t get produced and your nerve function is seriously in jeopardy. Improper replication of DNA can create disease. The poorest of our genetic histories can be brought to light. In other words, a genetic predisposition to something like cancer or heart disease could potentially be avoided through proper nutrition, including proper B12 supplementation.
“Whenever I have a patient that is having nerve pain, often referred to as neuropathy, or pain alone, I always look to B Vitamin deficiency as the first issue. B12,6,3 and alpha lipoic acid are all essential for nerve pain treatment.” -Dr. Kenna Venekamp, DC
This vitamin is so important that it is available as an injection, as a nasal spray and as a supplement. So many forms so that you can be sure you can get it.
B6 or pyridoxine, as it is known by in scientific circles, is next on the list. It is very significant because it works towards the vitality of the brain and its proper development, as well as contributing to the proper function of the immune system. Chicken and fish are wonderful suppliers of this essential nutrient.
B6 is essential because of its similar oxygen influencing function to vitamin B12. Without it, red blood cells do not develop properly. When red blood cells do not carry oxygen to the tissues of the body, symptoms begin to occur. Things like confusion, feeling really down, or anxiety, depression or extreme moodiness are signs of low B6 in the system affecting the red blood cell development.
Alongside these symptoms, vitamin B6 can really affect the potential for constantly getting a cold or contracting a virus. When the immune system is down, the body is much more susceptible to becoming overrun and ill.
B9 (often in the form of folate) is a man’s best friend when he’s feeling down and out. This can have an immediate effect on how one manages their feelings or mood. A great starting place when feelings of depression begin would be B9 supplementation along with adding foods like green leafy veggies, beans (green or any kind) and citrus fruits.
This vitamin is so important that it is always recommended to pregnant women to prevent malformations of the baby’s spinal column as it develops. Things like spina bifida occulta or lack of proper brain formation can be the result of not getting enough folate or folic acid(synthetic). Consuming adequate levels of B vitamins before pregnancy occurs is extremely important because the first few weeks of the baby’s brain and spinal column and cord development is determined then.
B12, B6, and B9 are some of the most dynamic B vitamins. They are important for metabolism and rebuilding the DNA of the cell, building and protecting the nervous system and proper development of the crucial oxygen-carrying red blood cells.
Highly absorbable B vitamins are included in the Skinny Up!® product line to keep you feeling healthy and upbeat during the weight loss and detoxification process. The Skinny Up!® protocol is simple and easy to follow, providing high amounts of nutrition, but would be extremely difficult to follow without the support of the Skinny Up!® products.
The goal of returning you to experiencing a life of happiness, fulfillment, health through proper weight management, increased energy, alertness and pleasure starts with getting the body to reset its metabolism with the proper foundational building blocks.

Society tells us all what we should strive to look like. But achieving society’s version of the ideal body is close to impossible due to the typical American diet filled with trans fats, high carbs and unnatural additives and preservatives. The popularity of junk foods and the lack of nutrition in everyday eating are both considered prime suspects in the trend of weight gain across the country. Another key factor includes the lack of education about healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle.
Historically, a woman’s body and it’s proximity to the ideal image of the current time has effectively given her power. In fact, up until about the 1900s curvy figures were seen as a more ideal figure due to the correlation those dimensions had with child bearing and availability to an abundance of food.
Starting in the 18th century, however, a slimmer waist was introduced to compliment the voluptuous figure due to the introduction and acceptance of the brassiere and corset. European elitist culture turned the tide of where beauty was going and from then on a thinner frame became more sought after.
Beauty ideals have changed a lot since the Victorian era, but many of those changes can be attributed to similar factors acting on the cutting edge of technology. Modern day technological advances in beauty standards like plastic surgery, fat sculpting and even makeup can be seen as more of the same. Constantly trying to push women to look more youthful and capable of child bearing has long been the goal of powerful people across history and that trend has only been pushed further and further in modern times.
Women, however, are pushing back like never before. The acceptance of plus sized body figures and fashion, meant to be worn by curvier individuals, is on the rise. Even more importantly, though, the acceptance and encouragement of health as a priority is continually more talked about and emphasized across the country.
The BMI or Body Mass Index is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. It is often used to determine how healthy someone is and if a person is underweight or overweight. The waist circumference to height ratio and waist to hip ratio are also used to let individuals know if they are at high risk of such things as heart disease, high blood pressure and type two diabetes.
Although this is a widely used and relatively accepted method of knowing whether or not your weight could be deemed unhealthy there are always going to be other factors that can help dictate if a certain weight is healthy. Blood pressure, cholesterol and body fat percentages can also be useful tools to make sure individuals stay within a healthy range.
When you’re trying to lose weight, some days are easier than others when it comes to getting up at it. Other days it’s easy to feel deterred or discouraged. It happens to everyone. Even world class athletes have off days. The outside world and it’s contributors affect how we approach our daily lives. When the world has you down, the motivation or extra energy to keep your diet intact or get you to the gym may not be there. When it feels like your surroundings are out to get you, it can seem like “why bother”, right?
Wrong!
If you’re able to keep a positive attitude toward your own body and be confident in yourself then that in itself is a commendable achievement. Feeling comfortable with the way you look in today’s day and age is something that takes a significant amount of confidence, mental strength and stability.
Let’s face it, it’s hard to be body confident and body positive with a barrage of negative factors coming into play. The internet and social media can be brutal, nowadays, and there are trolls at every corner to try and make you feel bad about yourself. It doesn’t matter if you’re slightly overweight, just look different, talk different or think differently, people can be cruel!
Body shaming in popular culture has become a very sad reality and needs to be addressed on a world scale. The fact that children as young as five are now feeling the pressure to look a certain way is truly a sad reality for future generations.
People try to lose weight for different reasons. One person might feel unhealthy with their weight while another person may be having feelings of insecurity. The day and age we live in has proven to be particularly harsh when it comes to what is an acceptable weight. Unfortunately, here in the U.S, over the last thirty years, obesity and extreme obesity numbers have become somewhat concerning. Society’s higher standards and expectations of bodies and health have likely had an inverse effect on how people see their health and accept weight gain.
It seems very human of us to get caught up in the idea of an ideal weight or perfect body. Our culture has become somewhat obsessed with chasing an often unobtainable, or even fake figure. Something that was developed with technology and not natural physique of fitness. A chart was developed from an equation to measure whether or not a certain weight is acceptable according to height. Social media is flooded with influencers and models and the young now grow up thinking that is the way they are supposed to look. This has been directly correlated to children as young as five feeling self conscious about weight or unconfident about their appearance.
The cards seem to be stacked against most normal people with normal bodies. The fact of the matter is there is nothing good that comes from obsessing over your weight and appearance all the time. In fact, studies show that stressing out all the time about things that are out of your control can actually make keeping weight off and having good mental health more difficult. It’s extremely important to learn how to be happy with yourself and your body but also just learn to live a healthy life and stick with the good habits that help you get there.

]]>Adipose tissue is really just a fancy medical term for common body fat. What most people don’t realize, however, is that adipose tissue is actually broken down into two categories of fat.
In terms of people trying to lose weight most people are more concerned with the visible “muffin top” over the waistline than the more discrete visceral fat. That isn’t to say that subcutaneous fat (skin fat) isn’t dangerous but it is less likely to be causing serious health issues down the road. Think about it. Visceral fat hanging around vital internal organs all the time is a recipe for disaster. People should understand how each weight loss approach actually affects your body and the health benefits or fallbacks that arise from various techniques for achieving weight loss’
Coolsculpting, or cryolipolysis, is the act of freezing subcutaneous fat which effectively kills those cells and reduces excess skin fat. This medical procedure is most commonly carried out by a plastic surgeon or licensed professional who uses a non surgical, non invasive, tool to cool the body’s surface to below freezing temperatures.
This procedure may seem like a miracle for individuals who can’t seem to kick the unwanted lbs. but it doesn’t come without some possible side effects:
After the freezing process is complete and the fat cells are killed off, they are broken down by the body and flushed out over the next week or so. Studies have shown that this process is effective at reducing subcutaneous fat of the treated areas by up to 25%.
This cosmetic procedure allows for fat removal at a much higher rate than that of its Coolsculpting counterpart, but has more inherent risk as well. Liposuction is a surgical procedure where a hollow tube is inserted into specific areas of the body with high levels of subcutaneous fat which is removed with a suction technique. This process is also referred to as lipoplasty or body contouring. Risks of this procedure include:
Lipo may not be as trendy as the more recent coolsculpting but it’s still cutting edge. Throughout the years, practices and technology have allowed for a safer traditional procedure. Liposuction, has also branched into multiple entirely different procedures that will further be explored below.
This procedure is performed in-office with a local anesthetic while the patient remains conscious. A small incision is made for the laser probe to be inserted. This concentrated laser light will melt the subcutaneous fat away. Once this is done, the fat is then suctioned out. This process allows for a less aggressive, quicker procedure, and shorter recovery time than traditional liposuction.
An ultrasonic probe is inserted into a small incision which effectively disrupts or separates the fat before being suctioned out. This allows for easier removal, especially in areas of high fat volume
Safe lipo is actually an acronym for Safe Aspirate Fat Equalization and, as it sounds, it is indeed safer than its parent procedure; but, still includes many of the same risk factors of the traditional method of lipo.
Skinny Up!® targets the more dangerous health concern of visceral fat, not the easy to burn subcutaneous fat. This approach is the healthiest way to go about weight loss. If overall health is the primary reason behind losing weight then this concept is important to grasp. Other techniques and approaches to weight loss may be effective at cutting lbs. but are they really helping with the health aspects?
Starting to starve the body or overwork it regresses it into a stressed state and will only target skin fat to burn (subcutaneous fat). Similarly, medical procedures like liposuction and coolsculpting are also getting rid of fat, but only the subcutaneous skin fat is not a long term solution for combating serious fat related diseases and other health concerns.
Skinny Up!® Reduce supports the body with Amino Acids (the building blocks of protein). They break down slower and even out blood sugar levels while your body slowly breaks down nutrition. Reduce also releases a ton of b-vitamins into the body which helps lower stress. When the stress levels are lowered, the body targets stored nutrition from visceral fat cells and helps clean up the fat stagnant around the heart and other vital organs.
Your ideal weight may be obtainable through any of the following strategies, but which one is going to get you there the most efficiently without risk of bodily injury or other forms of harm? Yes these procedures may be quick and easy, but are they safe enough for you to risk it?
There are a few things that can affect the cost of the above procedures. Anything from location, to provider, will come into play but the main factor is the area being treated. Some practitioners will only do a certain amount of area per visit so depending upon how much fat you need removed the bill could vary widely.
Taking a shortcut or an easy way out may seem like the best option sometimes. Heck, sometimes it sure can be, but it's important to weigh your pros and cons before jumping into something that may be a regret in the future. We here at Skinny Up!® aren’t offering a miracle solution, we are offering you a safe proven way to lose weight relatively quickly while feeling great.

The addition of the meditative aspect in the practice of yoga makes it an ideal way to stay limber, burn calories, and reduce stress for a physically and mentally healthier lifestyle.
Meditation and mindfulness seem to be catching fire similarly to the trends seen with yoga. This shouldn’t be a surprise in the midst of a technological revolution where the masses seem to be more connected to their personal devices than connecting with individuals in their lives. High levels of stress and anxiety have been linked directly to the rise of social media and people’s screen time.
People's fast paced lifestyles have them feeling like they’re moving a million miles an hour and can’t afford to slow down for a break. This way of thinking and living may not be sustainable for everyone and could end up leaving many feeling physically and emotionally drained, overly stressed, and eventually, down in the dumps. Don’t lose hope, however, because grasping these concepts is the first step to conquering stress in general.
We know that this subject isn’t always a fun one to talk about, unfortunately, but understanding how stress affects people is important if we are going to move forward in life with healthier choices. Higher levels of stress have been tied directly to weight gain or making weight loss more difficult. This is due to a few different factors.
Activities like yoga and meditation may not seem like the ideal solutions for cutting stubborn belly fat from the midsection at first glance. Burning a huge number of calories with strenuous activity, however, isn’t the whole point. If weight loss is your ultimate goal, it’s important to understand that burning more calories than caloric intake isn’t the only factor in achieving your weight loss goals in an optimal amount of time. The mindset of the weight loss community is now beginning to see and accept the undeniable benefits that yoga and meditation have on both the mind and body.
The physical demands of yoga are no laughing matter. If you haven’t jumped on the bandwagon yet or are just starting out, you probably understand how difficult many of the poses can be. Yoga is fantastic for stretching and strengthening sure, but it can also be so much more than a physical exercise.
Some forms of yoga allow for more of a traditional workout than others. Here are the best types of yoga to burn calories at the same time as releasing tension from the body and mind.
This style of yoga is relatively vigorous and many who practice it are the most dedicated. Ashtanga, meaning “eight limbs”, follows the same series of poses each time. That means once you have the sequence down it’s easy to practice anytime on your own. This makes it easier to work it into a routine since you can do it anywhere.
This style of yoga is more popular at gyms, health clubs and studios. This very vigorous, fitness-based style is similar to Ashtanga as it focuses on athleticism but can vary from class to class as it doesn’t have to follow the same series every time. Strength and flexibility are the main areas of focus which makes it the perfect type of yoga to practice if you’re an avid gym goer.
Bikram is a popular style of hot yoga but there are other styles to choose from as well. They are all done in a heated room, commonly around 95-105 degrees F, and tend to be practiced in a series of linked poses. This vigorous yoga session makes the body sweat profusely to cleanse the body and allow muscles to loosen.
Those forms classified as gentle yoga forms including Hatha, Integral, and Kripalu may not burn the same calories as the Vinyasa Yoga forms but can still be extremely beneficial to keeping those stress levels low. If you’re a beginner or are curious about how yoga can benefit you, it may be worth your time to start out with one of these less intensive types of yoga.
The Skinny Up!® team has been on board with low stress weight loss since its inception. We push for low intensity workouts during the Reduce Phase of the Skinny Up!® protocol due to many of the reasons stated above. Our team of doctors who formulated the Skinny Up!® product line were well versed in the idea and practice of trying to reduce corosol’s introduction into the body while going through a rapid weight loss regiment.
We also recognize the similar benefits that both yoga and the Skinny Up!® product line can provide for users. A focused mind, that is free of brain fog and promotes mental clarity, is an intrical part to both yoga and our products. Increases to natural feeling energy is also something that both yoga and the Skinny Up!® product line promotes!
This may seem super simple but it’s definitely still a form of aerobic exercise. That means when you’re taking a daily walk, your heart rate increases and endorphins are released to the brain. This natural chemical helps manage stress levels. Even a 10 minute daily walk can help restore calm, but 45 minutes or longer is recommended to reduce stress and anxiety.
This full body workout is a great way to mix things up, especially if high impact exercises aren’t really an option. Just being in water can have a calming effect, but the resistance element and anaerobic aspects also get the blood pumping, making it ideal for getting a more complete workout.
Another workout that is easy on the joints and can be adjusted to different levels of intensity. Another great aspect of this activity is the fact that you can listen to music while riding outside or even put on a show or educational video if you'd rather stick to the bike at the gym.
There aren’t many other forms of showing pure joy than dancing by yourself or with friends to great music. This activity is often forgotten as a form of exercise but it’s a great way to ease stress and burn calories. Doing so in a social setting further allows individuals to feel comfort and support which helps in cutting out anxiety and stress from daily life.
Getting told constantly by your surroundings that this new trend or that is going to be your ticket to a healthier you isn’t always easy to believe. There are so many trends out there that haven’t really stood the test of time and fade into obscurity seemingly in the blink of an eye. Diets come and go and exercises evolve to better help individuals with their specific needs; but in reality yoga, and the healthy lifestyle choices that go along with it, isn’t just a new thing. People have been practicing yoga for over five thousand years. That alone should be significant proof that there is something special happening in the bodies and minds of true believers in the benefits of the activity and daily practice!
Even though the majority of Americans started to gain more weight than normal in the last year, the “summer bod” many people strive for is still ready for the taking!
Summer swimwear ready means something a little different this year. New fashion trends, maybe a few extra pounds, and maybe still masking up? That might just make the start of this summer truly different than any other year.
Remember, getting back into the swing of things is a process and positivity is an integral part of that process to realize your potential. Pools are opening, summer parties are underway, and it’s just about time to start feeling the best you’ve felt in a year. Enjoy your summer without worrying about what other people think. Hop on in and celebrate all the good in life.
A recent study shows that the average American adult gained around 20-25 lbs over the past 16 months, due in large part to Covid shutdowns. The dreaded “quarantine 15” from lockdown transformed and evolved. The average person has been gaining around 2 pounds per month this last year, which isn’t like any other. So starting this summer off with a little bit more weight than usual isn’t anything to stress about, a lot of us are in the same boat!
Nearly half of Americans are currently attempting or have attempted to lose weight within the last year. With that being said, it was a lot harder than normal during these tough times to stay healthy and trim. Fortunately, it’s not too late to start working toward a healthier you for this summer, especially with the help from Skinny Up!® products.

]]>When weight loss is the goal, addressing your diet is a critical piece of the puzzle. So often, we look for ways to address our diets as easily as possible, so meal replacement shakes can seem like a great solution. The question that needs to be asked, though… “Will meal replacement shakes help me to lose weight while using Skinny Up! Products?”
Probably not.
Meal Replacements are all the rage in the weight loss industry nowadays. Every time you walk into the gym you can almost certainly find someone mixing up a meal replacement shake. Heck, some newer gyms even have in house smoothie bars or restaurants that will mix up the latest and greatest brand or flavor of these fancy meal replacement shakes for you. Are they recommended for weight loss though? It depends.
Traditional dieting promotes losing weight by decreasing calorie input while increasing energy output. On paper, this makes a lot of sense, and it is true that you will eventually see results. The issue is that this method is not very fast, making it difficult to stick with. The meal replacement strategy tends to align with this approach.
Skinny Up! provides a fast and efficient means to lose weight while promoting a high level of detoxification for the body. The beauty of this protocol is that it utilizes simple foods that are easy for your body to break down quickly. Don’t risk it with complex foods made in a lab when Skinny Up!® lays out a healthier way to lose weight and feel great.* And -- bonus! The Skinny Up! protocol comes with weight loss recipes so that you can eat well without requiring meal replacement shakes that can slow down the process.
Most meal replacement shakes consist primarily of protein, carbohydrate, fat and fiber compounds along with many preservatives and flavoring components. Some of these compounds consist of molecules that are relatively complex and it makes it harder for your body to digest, slowing down the weight loss process. During the weight loss journey, your body uses a lot of energy on processing and either consuming or getting rid of stored nutrition and waste. If your digestive system is spending the bulk of its time and effort trying to break down more complex carbohydrates and proteins from the food you are consuming through the mouth, then the breakdown of the visceral fat that has been stored in unwanted areas of the body is going to be put on the backburner. This translates to individuals not being able to lose weight as fast as possible when taking meal replacements consistently.
The exception in the Skinny Up! protocol is if you are vegan or vegetarian who needs an additional source of protein in your diet. Then occasional meal replacement isn’t going to derail your weight loss goals, but it will likely slow down the process a bit. If you’re taking Skinny Up!® Reduce, we strongly suggest that you make an effort to stay away from meal replacements during the Reduce Phase in order to achieve optimal weight loss results.
The Skinny Up!® Protocol lays the foundation for what your meal plan should look like but how easy to follow is it really? This protocol is specifically crafted with guidelines on exactly what to eat, when to eat and how much to eat in order to be successful. It is simple and easy to adhere to. We break your dietary plan and restrictions down into three relatively simple phases where sticking to the recommended foods will get you your best weight loss results. Check out the Tips section of this blog for more information about the three phases and what they’ll consist of.
Whatever you decide to make for your meals, it is crucial that you stick to the guidelines for each step or phase. Here are a few commonly overlooked areas from each Skinny Up!® phase that we at Skinny Up!® think might make your meal planning a bit more relaxed, healthy, and above all else, tasty.
The goal of the Loading Phase is to get your brain and body into a high fat burning mode. This is achieved by consuming large amounts of fat while taking Skinny Up! Reduce and Skinny Up! Yeast Redux. A few tips for the Loading Phase:
The Reduce Phase is all about weight loss and detoxification. It is during this phase that you restrict your diet to adhere to the Skinny Up! Protocol as you take Skinny Up! Reduce and Skinny Up! Yeast Redux.
Long term success is found by those who stick with the Retrain Phase of the Skinny Up! Protocol. It is during this 3-week timeframe that your brain learns to recognize its new weight, so this phase is critical for keeping the weight off in the long run.
You’ll really be shedding pounds fast during the Reduce Phase if the protocol is being followed.* Lucky for you the list of foods really just consists of everyday, healthy options that will have you feeling great with plenty of energy to help you lose that weight and get you through your day without feeling jittery. The Reduce phase may be the biggest change when it comes to the foods that you will be allowed to eat.
With the added help of the Skinny Up!® Yeast Redux, however, the lack of sugar in your diet wont feel like as much of a challenge. This specific product acts as a candida cleanse to curb unwanted sugar cravings so that skipping all those processed foods that may have been a big part of your diet in the past won’t feel like a big deal at all.
Skinny Up!® encourages you to try and mix up your recipes while getting through the reduce phase of your weight loss journey. Our experts have put together a few of their favorite recipes to help you get through those cravings or setbacks with minimal effort or sacrifice. Try a few of these out and reach out to us if you have any suggestions for others!
Initially, going over the allowed foods for the majority of the protocol may seem like a big change to some people, but it doesn’t have to be. Let us help you get familiar with these foods and show you that this dietary transition doesn’t have to be a hard one.
Remember that the Reduce Phase is all about directing your body’s appetite to the stored nutrition in the visceral fat cells. So while the foods may seem pretty restricted, it is just for a short time. You are working to give your body simple, nutritious foods. Once you are through the Reduce Phase, you will be encouraged to begin adding in much more variety to your diet.
Meal replacements might not be great for fast weight loss but should be considered if you aren’t getting enough protein in your diet. As we stated before, if you require protein alternatives, having meal replacements from time to time can be beneficial to your overall health, but it’s important to understand the breakdown of what exactly you’re putting into your body and how it can affect aspects of bodily functions. Here is a list of top meal replacement brands and their nutritional facts so that you can make an informed decision as to if this popular trend is right for you.
The Skinny Up!® protocol and Skinny Up!® recipes are an important part of the overall Skinny Up!® process and design for success. They aid and guide/help you achieve your weight loss and overall health goals along with our amazing weight loss products!* We know that it may be a change of pace from what you're used to, but that’s not to say that every part of this journey can’t be enjoyable and fun at the same time as you lose those extra pounds.
Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions regarding our products or protocol. The experts at Skinny Up!® are here to help you, so don’t hesitate to give us a call today.

Don’t rely on traditional pill form supplements to provide the same results as sublingual weight loss drops like Skinny Up!®. Our line of expertly crafted products makes those outdated weight loss supplements seem like a waste of money. Why pay for something expensive when up to half of it isn’t being absorbed in the first place? Those pills are likely expensive so knowing the majority of pill supplements are broken down and turned into waste might be frustrating to find out. Get a product that works quickly and efficiently to restore energy to the body and clarity to the mind.* Read more about the amazing results realized by all three Skinny Up!® products.
The cheek and area under the tongue have thousands of capillaries, or tiny blood vessels. There, nutrients can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream without going through your digestive system. Our supplements being absorbed and utilized through this method and in the digestive tract rather than having to wait for breakdown in the stomach ensures maximum absorption.
The potency of medications and vitamin supplements can be lost in the stomach when being broken down, making sublingual products a perfect answer for weight loss and detoxification purposes.
If you’re relying on oral supplements that need to be broken down in the gut don’t anticipate them having the same effect as the sublingual under the tongue method of absorption.
Human chorionic gonadotropin is a known competitor to Skinny Up!® weight loss drops and dietary plan. Most studies have found that hCG (a.k.a. human chorionic gonadotropin) has nothing to do with the rapid weight loss achieved by this low carb diet. Any low carb diet is going to help you lose weight fast and there are better alternatives to this hormone that the body produces during pregnancy. hCG is not meant for weight loss and has been discouraged by the FDA for using it in that manner. It is meant to suppress your appetite but this can be a dangerous way to lose weight if proper nutrition is not maintained.
Skinny Up!® weight loss drops are hCG free but have similar and safer weight loss benefits. Without risking your overall health, our Skinny Up!® weight loss drops are specifically designed to work with your daily routine and make minor, but important healthy lifestyle changes. Drastic measures like hCG have proven to be dangerous and should be avoided for the purpose of weight loss.
The Skinny Up!® protocol guides you step by step to make sure your body isn’t sacrificing needed nutrients or introducing unhealthy ingredients to meet your weight loss goals.
Stimulus checks from COVID relief should, of course, focus on your necessities first and foremost. It’s been a tough year, but if you find that your finances are otherwise in order, consider investing a portion of your stimulus on your health.

Perhaps this is the right time for you to invest in your health after an extremely stressful year.

]]>Winter isn’t necessarily easy for many, however. Cold weather and gloomy short days without much time outside or sun can put many people into a winter funk. The winter blues can be averted and dealt with so that your winters aren’t your “down season.” Get the most out of your winter months without having to sacrifice energy and mobility. Make sure you have support groups and motivation to get you through the winter and keep you healthy.
Winter sports bring joy to millions each year and bring people together during the coldest months of the year as families and friends find comfort in spending time together even if it’s not always outside. This past year, it hasn’t been as easy to get together to go on mountain trips or sports gatherings. Restrictions have made some of the things we love to do next to impossible. Without the ability to do some of these things together as we always have, it becomes less tempting to get out there and do them all together.
The gyms have been open now for months but capacity is still limited and gyms are still taking health precautions. In reality, gyms are still seeing radically reduced numbers from past years. Cautious individuals and all in one at home gyms are most likely to blame. Plenty of new at-home equipment is flooding the market and starting to allow people to get similar in-class training that they prefer. Peloton, the Tonal Smart Gym, and the Mirror Home Workout System are still going to run somewhere between $1000-$3000.
There are many more affordable solutions out there but the main things gyms and these at-home classes have going for them are the support and motivation factors. Studies have shown that working out with a partner or in a group significantly increases the amount of time spent exercising. As with exercise, making sure you have the proper support in most undertakings is vital to the success of your goals. The right backing and support can be found for health and weight loss in other forms. Gyms and expensive weight loss equipment aren’t the only way to feel motivated by others cheering you on.
If you don’t want to be putting your health at risk in public places or spend thousands of dollars and countless hours to get back into shape, it’s possible that a weight loss supplement and dietary eating plan may be a better option for getting your ideal form back. Skinny Up!® products don’t require countless hours of cardio to lose weight, in fact, it’s almost the opposite of that. Aggressive, high-stress workouts are actually discouraged and our easy-to-follow dietary program is for practically everyone. Make renewed health, weight loss and detox as easy as it can be with the Skinny Up!® product line and protocol.
The two coldest months of the year are now behind us and only March remains before things start really heating up again. Cold weather may not be the only inconvenience going away this spring. Covid cases are down and things are definitely looking up this spring. Many aspects of life just might start to feel normal again. If you’re like millions of Americans, the prospect of getting things under control and being able to resume a sense of regular life is extremely appealing. Humans are social creatures and once those flood gates open back up again, life is going to be closer to the way we all prefer it, in full swing and at full speed. Once you’re back on the social scene, however, you may realize that excess winter weight has some of your going-out outfits looking a little snug. No problem. Try Skinny Up!® Deluxe Package and turn that spring energy into motivation for weight loss and overall health. You won't regret it.
Hit the warmer weather running with increased energy, less brain fog, and weight loss drops that attack and actively reduce stubborn belly fat. This is what the Skinny Up!® product line and protocol has to offer for those in search of a way to lose weight that might have been accumulating at an accelerated pace over the last year. Winter weight gain is a reality that millions of people have to deal with but winter weight loss shouldn’t be something you dread. Make winter weight loss as easy as it can be with Skinny Up!®.
If you’ve tried everything this year and nothing seems to be working, Skinny Up!® Reduce is a gamechanger for effective fast weight loss. If you seem to feel drowsy or less focused than normal during the winter then Skinny Up!® Yeast Redux will have your energy and clarity back in no time. Finally, if you’re feeling in a funk and want to get your body feeling more energized and back to its normal balance, Skinny Up!® Maintain can keep your body feeling healthy and functioning on all levels.*
Cold Weather locking people up indoors over the winter can be very stressful and draining to some. Strangely enough, women seem to suffer from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) at a higher rate than men. Some 5-10% of women admit to feeling the affects of this strange affliction. This disorder is predominantly active during the winter months of the year. Those affected by these winter blues can experience many symptoms including fatigue, even with too much sleep, and weight gain associated with overeating and carbohydrate cravings. Other symptoms can include:
There are plenty of reasons why the winter can be harder for people. One of the most common causes of SAD is the lack of sunlight which can lower serotonin levels and reduce vitamin D. Another recommended treatment for this is light therapy. Daily light therapy, combined with exercise is the most natural way to make winter blues a thing of the past. If these alone aren’t able to break a negative cycle then a little assistance from a health and dietary supplement is the next step.
Two out of three adults in the United States consume alcohol. That number might not jump out at you at first but considering over 20% of adults admit to drinking moderately or heavily in the past month, you can start to see how much drinking is a part of many peoples’ lives. Now, picture this. The average person in America will actually drink 4.2 alcoholic beverages on St Patrick's Day. Beer is the third most popular drink on the planet behind water and tea so it can be assumed that the majority of alcohol consumed on this holiday of boozy debauchery will most likely be beer.
On average, there is approximately 13 grams of carbs and 150 calories in one can of beer. A beer gut got its name for a reason. No shame, but if you’re actively trying to fight that beer gut then you need to stay proactive in doing so. If you’re expecting to participate in St. Patrick's day activities this year, trying to pick a low carb and/or low-calorie solution is more likely to keep you on the right track concerning your weight loss and dietary goals.
The craving to drink may be especially strong in March due to the special Irish holiday “St Patrick’’s Day” which in America, more often than not, means wearing green and binge drinking. Those cravings, however, can mean more than just wanting to feel tipsy or drunk. If you have cravings for beers there may be a more scientific reason to address why that is.
As previously stated, beer and the carbs that come along with it are often desired by your body. This phenomenon is more likely if you have a tendency to include carbs, especially beer, as a regular part of your diet. The Skinny Up!® product line has weight loss drops that will effectively reduce those cravings while also making you feel full faster. This way you won’t necessarily desire your next drink directly after finishing your last.
Those unhealthy foods and beverages may be extra tasty, or especially fun to indulge in, but are detrimental to your weight loss goals and overall health in the long run. If you need a little help to kick the junk food and beverages out of your life, check out our products to see if weight loss drop supplements may be right for you.
Studies show that alcohol has plenty of negative effects on the mind and body. The liver gets hit particularly hard by habitual or over abundant drinking. Among other things steatosis, fibrosis and cirrhosis are among the worst. Everyone knows at this point though that heavy drinking is bad for your liver, right? What many people don’t know, however, is that because of the increased levels of toxicity and waste caused by alcohol, the liver is pulled away from its other primary functions. If you’re trying to lose weight and think that casual drinking isn’t going to put up a major roadblock for your weight loss goals, then unfortunately, you’re sorely mistaken.
The alcohol hanging around your system needs to be expelled from your body by your liver which effectively breaks it down and filters it out. As the liver is doing this, it doesn’t want to be overworked. So all that visceral fat hanging out around your midsection can’t be broken down as fast during a diet or weight loss regiment. Your liver just can’t handle the workload brought on by all that excess waste and toxicity from both rapid fat breakdown and alcohol breakdown. Because of this, our brains send signals that slow metabolism of fat cells drastically. This is something to keep in mind when considering drinking on St. Patrick's Day or in general.
Alcohol weight gain is real and if lockdown and quarantine have had you cooped up inside all winter the weight might be starting to show. We previously discussed that those green beers and Guinnesses can really get in the way of your weight loss goals but we haven’t even discussed the most unhealthy favorites for many drinkers around this time of year. St. Patrick’s day classics, like Baileys Irish Cream, contains somewhere along the lines of 175 calories per shot. That’s not to mention an additional 150 calories that are added when you mix in that Guinness to an Irish car bomb.
Many additional additives, mixed in to classic cocktails, are likely to add calories as well. If it adds a sweetness or flavoring you can bet that it’s even less healthy than before. If mixing drinks or having doubles is something that you partake in, certain combinations of alcohol can weigh more heavily than others when it comes to stacking on the calories and gaining weight.
Beer guts happen, we get that. The availability, physically and mentally, to get out and exercise has been drastically reduced this past year so if you’ve already gained that beer gut, don’t sweat it. If you’re over it and feel like it’s time for your stubborn belly fat to go, giving Skinny Up!® Reduce a chance may just be your best bet. Cut the weight fast and get your belly back down to your desired size in practically no time at all.* This product works fast and is recommended for individuals wanting to lose between 20-30 lbs over a 40-60 day period.
Not all alcoholic drinks are necessarily high in sugar, or fat. Many drinks don’t have carbs but in reality, even a vodka soda is going to be around 100 calories. But there are ways to get healthier light drinks so if you are planning on drinking excessively on March 17th, make sure to take a look into what you’ll be putting into your body. Here is a good list and breakdown of some of our favorite St. Patrick’s day specials that are tasty and not as bad for alcohol weight gain.
Don’t forget that non-alcoholic beverages can also be just as festive and tasty as well. Flavored carbonated waters with little to no carbs can be just as spirited as a beer with just a drop or two of green food coloring. Waters or breaks of some kind in between alcoholic drinks is also strongly recommended any time you’re going to be “having a few”.
We will be trying to hit on all the main points of candida, what it is, how it affects you, and how you can make sure it stays under control. The signs and symptoms of Candida Overgrowth as well as the main reasons it occurs in the first place are important topics when it comes to figuring out if the candida in your gut is overgrown and possibly causing damage.
Next, we will discuss what can be done to curb this problem and what it takes to continue good gut health so that overgrowth doesn’t occur again. Skinny Up!® experts will wrap it up with recommendations for how best to go about treating Candida Overgrowth and moving forward for a happier and healthier new you.
A big problem with most of these diets and other treatments for candida yeast overgrowth is that they take a long time and can cost a lot of money. Also, some of these plans and programs don’t actually deal with all the underlying problems occurring from the buildup of yeast in the digestive tract. Not to mention that the candida albicans can become systemic, eventually moving into the bloodstream and causing even more unfortunate effects on the body. These problems can be addressed and corrected with a successful candida diet and candida supplement to aid in the process.
Skinny Up!® Yeast Redux candida supplement, along with its expertly formulated diet, supports an all around better, healthier lifestyle. With the absence of Candida overgrowth, weight loss is much easier to obtain as well as maintain, and our full product line will not only cleanse your system of Candida Overgrowth, but it will also significantly help improve your overall health and wellbeing. If you happen to lose a few pounds with this natural healthy process and gain mental clarity and increased energy from it then our product is doing its job. Note that for best weight loss results, it is encouraged to use the Skinny Up!® Reduce product alongside Skinny Up!® Yeast Redux.
There are a wide range of symptoms that come along from Candida Overgrowth. A big reason for that is because this yeast is not only actively harming your digestive system by eating away at the inner walls of your gut, but in extreme cases it also produces a wide range of byproducts that can cause a plethora of negative effects on the body. If untreated, candida yeast can take over the digestive system and you will begin to feel low energy. Weight gain is also a common first sign of out of control candida overgrowth. Next, the yeast overgrowth begins to attack the stomach and intestinal lining. This is when all those toxins can flood the bloodstream and the wide range of issues could begin. Those symptoms include but are not limited to the following
Antibiotics are definitely a common and effective treatment for a countless number of extremely serious ailments and diseases. Everyone knows about the countless lives this medical marvel has saved and the endless good they have done for humankind. A recent development in modern medicine, however, is the emergence of the overuse of these drugs. People want to self diagnose more than ever nowadays instead of going to the doctor for professional opinions and solutions. More and more often now, they look to antibiotics to solve many of their health issues.
The consistent use of antibiotics can be a problem for a multitude of reasons. One main reason is that certain bacteria can become immune to different forms of antibiotics. That means that eventually these resistant bacteria are becoming harder and harder to kill. The other main reason is that all bacteria aren't bad. Many forms of bacteria are needed to maintain proper health and gut flora. In the gut alone, millions of good bacteria are present and necessary to upkeep a healthy digestive system.
When antibiotics wipe out all that good bacteria, there are negative repercussions. In the wake of good bacteria being wiped out, there is a void to be filled in the gut and more often than not the void is filled with unwanted inhabitants like opportunistic candida yeast. Candida yeast will cause nothing but issues for you and your health if gone unchecked.
A Herxheimer reaction is the worsening of Candida symptoms. This is the cause of candida yeast cells dying rapidly, at the same time, which releases toxins and harmful chemicals that are stored within. This process shouldn’t be rushed so following the recommended doses of any Skinny Up!® products is important. Make sure your yeast cleanse is done correctly by allowing your body to give you feedback and tell you if it’s ready to continue the process. Another important step to avoiding this negative reaction is preparing your body for the candida cleanse. Drink plenty of water and exercise regularly to help support positive gut health.
Most Candida Diets are all about the food intake of the body. They’re relatively straightforward but can definitely be extremely difficult to stick to. Sugars need to be cut out of the diet entirely and you’d be surprised with how much added sugar is in pretty much all processed foods. The second part of most candida diets is identifying the foods that you have been eating which may be causing inflammation of the gut and digestive system. Lastly, adding foods that promote gut health and reduce inflammation is essential. Probiotics, omega-3 fatty acids, and pseudo grain are all in the recommended categories.
The Skinny Up!® protocol for a Deluxe Package encompasses three different phases, each with its own specific eating plan. We will be focusing on the first two phases, however, as those are the steps in our diet where we will be focusing on Skinny Up!® Yeast Redux, a doctor formulated candida diet supplement. This product is often used alongside Skinny Up!® Reduce for better results when it comes to weight loss, but it is not a requirement to use both at the same time.
For the Loading and Reduce Phases of the dietary protocol, Skinny Up!® Reduce and Skinny Up!® Yeast Redux should be used for best results. The Skinny Up!® protocol is relatively close to being full on candida diets but with a pleasant unexpected twist. The Loading Phase can actually be considered as a couple of cheat days where loading up on high-fat foods is encouraged. This, alongside the Skinny Up!® products will send the body into a state of ketosis. Many who have tried the Keto Diet might remember that this stage is just turning fat into energy which is important as you move from this phase into the Reduce Phase. Alcohol is also allowed during this short loading phases which occur during the first couple of days of each new protocol.
Now comes the bulk of the dietary phase that you’ve been looking for. Obviously, as you’ve already seen above, sugars and most starches aren’t allowed for any of the Phases. This is no different for the bulk of the weight loss and candida cleanse phase which we have deemed “the Reduce Phase”. As you will see, this will be the most strict part of our plan. We are still using the Skinny Up!® Yeast Redux for our candida cleansing aspect but will also want to add Skinny Up!® Reduce if weight loss is also a priority for your health goals.
The Skinny Up!® Protocol entails consuming two meals a day, each incorporating a source of protein, vegetable, fruits and carbs. The list of allowed foods is not far off from what your normal grocery store list might look like either! We do stress that, however, that sticking tight to the allowed list is essential for best weight loss and candida cleansing results.
Lastly, the Retain Phase will focus on the Skinny Up!® Maintain product which utilizes a diet of no starches or sugars. This is the last phase in the full program but doesn’t mean you can’t restart right after the Maintain protocol is finished.
Many popular candida diets and programs focus on initial detoxification or cleanse to prepare the body and digestive system for recovery from candida overgrowth. Yes, the dietary portion of this is important but we’ve already discussed what goes into that. Candida diet supplements, like Skinny Up!® Yeast redux, may be more effective at reducing candida overgrowth but here are a few other naturally occurring additives to a diet that can promote recovery and overall gut health:
Other forms of detox are also very successful in flushing out toxins, improving circulation, and boosting other important nutrients. Skin brushing, regular sauna use, and the right amount of exercise can help with all of the aforementioned topics.
Reintroducing your gut with probiotic bacteria is crucial for a recovering stomach or digestive tract. When choosing a probiotic supplement, make sure it’s actually doing exactly that. Many commercial probiotics only deliver around 4% of good bacteria back into the gut due to strong stomach acids.
Skinny Up!® Yeast Redux is made up of prebiotics and probiotics that provide everything needed for a healthier happier you. With this product, you can rest easy that your post candida overgrowth digestive tract is being taken care of after the negative effects are stopped dead in their tracks. The prebiotics nourish the good bacteria in your gut making the environment hospitable again. This allows for faster recovery and healing.
Antifungals work by breaking down and destroying the cell walls of candida albican’s yeast cells. Caprylic acid and oregano oil are well known, naturally occuring, antifungals that halt and reverse the ill effects of candida. You can also get a prescription for antifungals but be cautious as these are more likely to come with more serious side-effects
The Skinny Up!® team has been able to create a product that truly targets candida overgrowth at the source and offers a whole slew of benefits!. The thing that stands out about this product is that it's an all in one package that gets rid of the middle man and provides you with a step by step process and experience that can get you feeling healthier faster.* Our Skinny Up!® Yeast Redux is made for natural ingredients that have been identified as effective for detox and better gut health.

Everything that has been discussed in this blog in terms of how to treat Candida Overgrowth are independent aspects of a multidimensional problem. Our uniquely formulated products and incredible customer service make Skinny Up!® the clear choice when solving candida overgrowth. Other supplements or aids can really only help solve a few issues at a time. It’s not uncommon for these candida diet supplements or natural herbs to cost upwards of $40 for the high end brands.

]]>As we all know, candy and chocolates aren’t exactly what most people have in mind when making their New Year's resolutions. Valentine’s Day can be the first big challenge for many when it comes to keeping out those pesky cravings we see time and time again creeping up from out of the blue. Skinny Up!® is committed to helping you continue to lose weight and meet your weight loss goals but also keep off that weight and keep the sugar cravings away.* Our products are specifically designed to help you get through all these steps as low stress and painless as possible.
Weight loss challenges on Pinterest have been gaining traction this past year due to the pandemic. Without gyms to go to, people need some additional motivation to get workouts in, and often, end up just cutting it out of the day altogether...

If you’d like to create your own exercise challenge, here are a few good ideas to help you get a plan in place.

Following day by day instructions for your dietary protocol and exercise goals may be enough to reach those weight loss goals, if your goals are around creating healthy daily habits.

With the full Skinny Up!® Deluxe Package, you will be treated to all three of our magnificent products to help you lose up to 20-30lbs fast.* This specific timeline includes a 40-day protocol with an additional 3 weeks of Retrain Phase.

One bottle of Skinny Up!® Reduce takes you through a 12-day protocol, which is perfect for the person who just wants to try out our product line without jumping all the way in. If fast, efficient weight loss without feeling hungry or jittery is what you're looking for*, Skinny Up!® Reduce weight loss drops may be perfect for you.

Say, however, that sugar cravings are and have always been your vice. Fret no more because our Skinny Up!® Yeast Redux product is perfect for you. Yeast Redux works to kill candida yeast overgrowth which is the typical cause of sugar cravings. By going on our candida cleanse, Yeast Redux will work to effectively stop these pesky cravings at the source while also assisting to heal your digestive system through the introduction of prebiotics.
Moderate exercise and a strict Skinny Up!® designed diet, supported with the Skinny Up!® products on your side, are all combined to form a great strategy in accomplishing your weight goals. Other complications can arise, however, when the real world has its way with your daily routines. Valentine's day and the weeks leading up to it are no different. Being bombarded everywhere you go, with chocolates and candies, may just be a weakness for you, and giving in to such temptations could have negative effects on your weight loss or weight maintenance journey.

Even though our Skinny Up!® Yeast Redux product is specifically designed to curb sugar cravings with our candida cleanse, those cravings might not die off as quickly as you’d want. Healthy candy might be an oxymoron to many people but there are ways to get around the extremely high levels of sugar in those tasty treats. These favorites of ours are good ways to stick close to our approved diet while still allowing you a few sweet or savory treats here and there.
Valentine’s Day is often seen to be this overly romantic holiday where you spoil your significant other with romantic scenes and after-hours activities. It’s very focused on someone else and not enough about treating yourself. Getting to a goal weight and losing those extra lbs for your significant other is a surefire way to make this Valentine’s Day a memorable one for them, but what about you?

Covid has hit gyms hard this past year and the rush to buy up gym memberships around New Years’ hasn’t been as prevalent as in years past. The flock of gym goers, seen in the early months of the year normally, may be skipping the trend this year as health concerns loom. People just don’t have the same kind of energy toward getting to the gym this year, and that’s understandable. With Covid being as sporadic and unpredictable as it has proven to be, people are right to think that the gym may not be the best weight loss solution to start out 2021.
This year, that expensive gym membership might not be the direction to keep you motivated and churn out the best results. The average gym membership in the US costs around $60. If you live in a more expensive city, however, say New York, your monthly gym is more likely to be around $130. That means paying month to month, your yearly cost for a gym membership is likely to be between $700 and $1500.
With the Skinny Up!® Deluxe Package, you’ll be paying a fraction of the cost of a yearly gym membership. For $339 you will get all the products and supplies you need to be well underway to a successful weight loss lifestyle change.* Our Deluxe Package customers have the potential to lose up to 20-30 lbs.* By following our expertly crafted protocol and using all three of the Skinny Up!® effective weight loss drops & candida cleanse products you’ll be well on your way to those New Year’s weight loss goals without ever stepping foot in the gym. Believe it or not, our protocol actually does NOT recommend a heavy workout routine.
The Skinny Up!® team is proud of all of its customers. Making the effort to attempt to lose weight is a daunting task in itself. Some people don’t have the luxury of just jumping into a new diet or workout routine and coming away with positive results. The countless success stories from previous Skinny Up!® customers are surely proof that when someone is struggling with meeting weight loss goals, our methodology and products can really make a difference.
Reading through the accounts that many of our happy customers have been thrilled to share with us, it becomes clear that joy and sincerity are common themes of their first-hand stories. To help make these goals and dreams come true and then read about how the Skinny Up!® product line has really changed these lives is inspiring. We also love to be involved with our customers during the process, you won’t find better support than with the Skinny Up!® team!
Some people continue to struggle with their weight loss goals no matter how many plans or diets they’ve tried. If this sounds like the ongoing, less than optimal, outcome you’ve been met with in the past then we would love to lend a helping hand. Weight loss can be extremely hard and stressful for many people. Being able to help something like weight loss be easier on the mind and body for those individuals is very rewarding for the Skinny Up!® team. If you think that you could use a little help achieving your optimal weight loss this year, it’s not too late to jump into a New Year's Weight loss goal for yourself and hit the ground running with the aid you’ve been looking for from your friends here at Skinny Up!®
If you’re someone who, year in and year out, can’t seem to keep up with their New Year's weight-loss resolutions because of this reason or that, this might be the right time to try something new. Statistically, a support group and following a drawn up, well-calculated plan, are both very important in getting the results you want. At Skinny Up!® we help our customers with both of those things. Not only are we here to sell you quality products that have been proven to work time and time again*, but we are also a support system to keep you and track and help you get back to it when you falter or fall off track.
Step One: Set the goals
Take some time to truly think through what goals you have for yourself this year. Think through what is possible, what you need in order to complete these goals, and the ‘why’ behind them.
There are many things in life that are simply not going away. For most of us, we have to keep working. We need to spend quality time with our people. We need to eat food.
So, setting a goal like “I want to spend 3 hours at the gym every day” might not be attainable if you have a few toddlers running around and work a full-time job.
Step Two: Prioritize your goals
The following principles may be helpful in achieving those goals.
Principle 1: Focus on one goal at a time
Like with most things, we are better able to get something done if it is the only thing we’re focused on. It is difficult to have a meaningful conversation with someone while you’re looking at your phone and watching a show.
We have to eliminate distractions.
One way to do this when it comes to goal setting is to focus on one goal at a time.
Principle 2: Get specific
Instead of having the goal “Drink more water” try getting specific: “Before I drink my morning coffee, I will drink 12 ounces of water.”
Instead of “Eat better,” try “I will research and try one new, healthy recipe every Wednesday.”
Setting specific goals that are achievable and have timing planned out will help you to truly reach them.
Principle 3: Show Up
Don’t forget that, especially in the beginning, simply showing up and trying is the biggest thing you can do to move towards your goal. You won’t be perfect. You don’t need to achieve your goal on the first day.
That’s the beauty of doing this exercise. You take the time and space to think through what you truly want to accomplish and then move forward, towards that goal with purpose.
Weight loss is a super common goal. And that's great! Losing weight often (not always, but often) leads to better health: physically, mentally, and emotionally.
When applying the above principles to the goal of weight loss, Skinny Up!® weight loss products are great tool.
Here's an example of what setting a weight loss goal can look like when using Skinny Up!® products:
Weight loss is possible. And the beauty of the Skinny Up!® Protocol is that you can reach your weight loss goal and you still have plenty of the year left to concentrate on other goals. No need to spend the entire year on this one goal!
The Skinny Up!® Team is here for you. You, friend, are worth it.

A recent online study suggests that upwards of 71 million Americans have gained weight during the pandemic. Many are calling this a result of the “perfect storm” of factors making this year especially frustrating for many, especially when it comes to their personal health. We all know the woes of 2020, but here are some of the biggest contributing factors to weight gain:
This isn’t just a US thing either. A new U.K. survey has found that nearly 63% of individuals say it has been relatively difficult to manage their weight. The same survey also reported greater difficulty in finding healthy foods at stores, a bigger increase in snacking while bored, and eating in response to higher levels of stress and anxiety as primary reasons for Covid weight gain as well.
No matter what you've been experiencing throughout this season, let's remember that everyone needs a helping hand right about now. Let the experts at Skinny Up!® aid you and guide you to feel better in this trying time.
A combination of all things aforementioned have also resulted in many individuals feeling down about their own personal image and the state of things in general. Another article reported that over 50% of people feel depressed about the way they look and have had a decrease in sense of self-esteem.
As people start to get back into their regular routines, looking back on 2020, they might feel more aware and concerned about their “quarantine 15” and “Covid curves”. This can wear on an individual’s psyche and eventually turn into a downward spiral of depression and lack of motivation if nothing is done to counteract negative actions and thoughts. Perhaps it’s time to break out of this Covid slump that’s slowly becoming the new normal? A renewed vigor is possible! The Skinny Up!® product line can really help you feel and look better in no time!*
Candida is a type of yeast that grows in the body in strands. It feeds on sugars and poor nutrition and is often caused by the overuse of antibiotics along with a sedentary lifestyle. This can develop into a systemic infection as it becomes overgrown, proving to be very problematic for anyone experiencing it. As it grows, it consumes more and more sugar which manifests as cravings forcing you into eating more and more sugar and carbohydrates. It also leaves you feeling exhausted and depressed.
Our Skinny Up!® program is designed to cleanse the body of this candida overgrowth which is more than likely a bit out of control due to current holiday diets and quarantine stress eating. Holiday and common junk foods are often high in sugar and carbohydrates which allow for candida to grow out of control and weight gain to occur. Cleansing your body of candida overgrowth can stop sugar cravings in their tracks as well as build back up good bacteria in the digestive system and heal past damage to it.
Our Yeast Redux product is a one of a kind product that works with your body’s natural systems and aids its digestion in order to provide you with a complete weight loss probiotic that is designed to treat candida yeast overgrowth.* It’s time for you to feel healthy again. Say goodbye to candida yeast overgrowth and the problems it presents with an all-natural product created by doctors, designed to help you lose weight, treat candida overgrowth, and feel your very best.**
People who have used our Redux product comment often on what a success this product is for revitalization and increased energy... not to mention how overall health and wellbeing are boosted. People just feel better when our candida cleanse takes effect. Yeast Redux can kill candida overgrowth, defeat your exhaustion, boost your immune system, help you lose weight, and help you feel healthier, thinner, and happier.*
A modern diet makes it difficult for the body to know for certain when sustenance is needed whilst pesky sugar cravings are constantly popping up. Instead of feeding into this cycle of misinformation from candida, buy into Skinny Up!® weight loss drops for a healthy, helpful way to restore your natural body balance. They can effectively train your brain and body to adapt to a better, more balanced, and natural, schedule. The ingredients in all of our weight loss supplements are natural and provide support for your body while you rely on a short-term reduced caloric intake.
Skinny Up!® Reduce product is a sublingual (under the tongue) weight loss support product, which includes amino acid and incredible vitamin support. Our weight loss testimonials are full of claims that people feel better than they have in years after using the Skinny Up!® program.* Whether it's the revival of their energy or the return to their clarity of thought, these feelings are real and ready to help you as well.*
The B6 vitamin in Skinny Up!® Reduce is known to boost the adrenal function of the body which helps with the production of neurotransmitters, ensuring metabolic processes run smoothly.
For a post-weight loss version of you, our Maintain product offers a completely unique look at post-diet lifestyle changes, and is specifically formulated to help you maintain your new weight that you’ve worked hard to achieve.* Our “Maintain” product was specifically designed to aid your post weight loss requirements. We use a tested blend of specific natural ingredients, each with its own purpose, and formulated together to help you maintain your goal weight.**
Unfortunately, experts still expect things to remain very 2020 like in terms of how the Covid crisis is being handled. As many of us have been told constantly, could take up to as late as the fall of 2021. This could translate into many businesses, including gyms and health stores, being closed or enforcing strict government regulations which limit the return of normality that we all crave. It doesn’t mean, however, that a modern, calculated approach to a better and healthier you isn’t possible and worth working towards.
2020 may have been a growing year for many of us but that doesn’t mean you should dwell on the past. Being optimistic about this year isn’t cliche, it’s an important step in following through with most New Year's resolutions. Nobody wants their goals to fall through, bad habits to start up again, and for that quarantine 15 to turn into 20 or 30. Covid Weight Loss is a trending New Years Resolution and it just might be that extra New Year's motivation you’ve been waiting for in trying to finally achieve your New Year's Weight Loss goals.

Why this matters: Fungal infections are pretty common, and although they’re not always extremely serious, they can eventually become serious. So it matters that the majority of these infections are caused by these five main types of candida. Of those infections, over 65% are caused by Candida albicans (Turner). That is a lot! We must address this issue.
Why this matters: Both superficial and systemic infections can cause all sorts of discomfort and issues throughout the system. One of the biggest signs of a system candida albicans overgrowth is the presence of sugar cravings, along with joint pain, headaches, exhaustion, and skin issues like eczema or psoriasis.
Skinny Up!® Yeast Redux is designed to combat the presence of Candida albicans in the body while introducing prebiotics into the gut flora so that the body has a real chance at maintaining a superior balance moving forward.
]]>Recent studies from the Brain Research Institute have shown that under 10% of people can confidently say they were successful in upholding their resolutions and achieving their goals. If you’re so determined to really follow through with these goals that fall through time and time again in the first few months of the new year, isn’t it time to break that cycle and try something new?
Poor choices and people overindulging in festive treats and an abundance of alcohol leave many people feeling like living and eating healthier is the easy New Years’ resolution that makes sense. Oftentimes, people don’t feel great about themselves or those holiday choices that have put them a few pounds over where they’d like to be.
Treat yourself to an early holiday present this year while also being proactive. Get yourself into a good healthy routine and get a jump on a New year's health or weight loss resolution. We all know that “just one more because I won’t be able to have it come January” feeling! This kind of thinking is the root of the problem. Make sure you’re making a plan and allow the Skinny Up!® experts and product line to assist you in finally achieving your weight loss goals** this season with a bit of a head start.
If you’re like most Americans overtaken by holiday “spirit”, procrastination can be a huge setback in actually achieving your daily goals when you just want to feel and act festive. Something as ambitious as a New Year’s resolution just isn’t attainable without a clear pathway laid out for you and assistance to guide you. Waiting until January first to start a resolution is as close to procrastination as a person looking to improve their health or lose a few pounds can get! Our Protocol and timeline make light that dark path up so you can feel comfortable and optimistic about sticking with it.
If you’ve done this before and it hasn’t worked out the way you wanted, what makes this year any different if you don’t allow yourself a better chance at succeeding? Start a task when you feel good about it. Putting something off just because you can actually result in higher stress levels and anxiety. It’s also been proven that the more time something is put “on the back burner” the less likely it is to get done. Optimism and motivation can diminish and disappear at any moment. Don’t procrastinate any longer and take the leap into our fully formulated modern-day weight loss plan today.
With the Holiday Season already underway, the idea that your motivation toward better health or weight maintenance might just miraculously increase toward the end of December may be a bit of a longshot. Be proactive and avoid that SAD Holiday feeling with excess energy and visible results that the Skinny Up!® Product Line is built to provide.* Our weight loss drops consist of ingredients that are doctor-approved and created in an FDA-certified lab.
What’s so special about January 1st? As far as I can tell, no magical fairies are going to wave their wands and provide you with some miraculous solution. Starting a new goal for yourself should be more about you and less about what society is telling you! Having the support of people around you is great but they’re just as likely to give up on their resolutions as anyone else, right?
Here at Skinny Up!® our expertly-crafted plans and top-of-the-line products will make your weight loss and maintenance journey feel like a walk in the park compared to those outdated programs and methods. Give yourself a head start on all the other New Year's resolutions out there and gift yourself or a loved one struggling year after year a full Package for a result you’ll have to see to believe.
]]>Why this matters: Candida spreads. It becomes systemic. It is when it becomes systemic that the body begins to experience things like joint pain, brain fog, or skin issues.
Why this matters: Inflammation and candida overgrowth can go hand in hand. There are tools to help take action against some of these conditions.
Why this matters: We should all be wondering what the root of inflammation is in the GI tract, often leading to candida albicans overgrowth. If antibiotics can act as a trigger to this inflammation, we need to be proactive in restoring proper gut health.
What can be done: Skinny Up!® Yeast Redux has specifically been designed to combat candida yeast overgrowth. Our candida cleanse is designed with you GI tract in mind, along with the rest of your body to help to reduce inflammation* and to address the symptoms that underlying candida colonization can cause.

]]>It was long believed that Thanksgiving feasts and Christmas treats would add more than just a few jolly laughs to that Santa belly of many middle-aged Americans. Studies show, however, that the average American in their forties will only gain one to two pounds between late November and early January. So why is there so much attention given during the holiday season to legitimize this phenomenon of holiday weight gain and the obsession over it? With the Skinny Up!® product line on your side, make holiday weight gain a distant memory rather than struggling to force a frustrating and unlikely change in eating habits or exercise behaviors.
Diet- We all know that these types of foods, indulged upon during our holiday festivities, are more likely to be high in fat and carbohydrates than everyday choices during other times of the year. We are unlikely to give up these indulgences while around friends and family who are more than likely stuffing their faces without a care in the world. Especially considering how difficult finding the correct foods and sticking to a diet can be. In many cases, dietary foods are unenjoyable, adding misery to the challenge of shedding those extra pounds.
Numerous diet programs out there only offer one or two meal options, severely limiting a person’s diet choices and negating their food preferences. Lucky for you, part of the Skinny Up!® plan is to get you to load up on many of those fatty foods that you’ve been trying to avoid in past years. The “Loading Phase” actually gives you two cheat days like no other weight loss plan you’ve ever been a part of that actually work to get your body into a fat burning mode. After that, the Reduce Phase meal plan still offers plenty of choices that are both delicious and productive.
Sugar cravings- Another main part of our Skinny Up!® plan is effectively cutting out pesky sugar cravings that have been the primary concern for many in getting through the holiday season unscathed by heavy weight gain. Between the unhealthy diet of the average American and our excessive problem dealing with yeast overgrowth, the prevalence of dangerous sugar cravings continue to haunt people striving to turn their health around.
Losing weight is hard, and having to fight your need for junk food can make the endeavor nearly impossible. Our Skinny Up!® weight loss products were designed almost exclusively to target and eliminate these unhealthy cravings, giving dieters more strength and morale while sticking to their goals.*
Time - Let's face it. During the winter, it’s tough to get outside for a run or to the gym for a class. This season, with Covid-19 on the rise across most of the world, finding a good routine for any type of exercise is more difficult than normal. Starting a new diet and finding the time to prep the food can be a challenge. Additionally, the extended amount of time often required to lose weight can be discouraging as well.
The Skinny Up!® line is here to help with both! Our nutrition plan is in place to provide delicious, nutritious meals that are simple to prepare, saving you time. Our weight loss supplement allows for an increase in energy* while cutting back on the time needed to exercise and lose weight at the same time.
Exercise - One of the most important parts of weight loss, beyond nutrition, is burning excess calories through physical activities. Exercise is always recommended for healthy living, but it can be difficult to find the time and energy to hit the gym on a regular basis, especially in the winter.
During our Reduce phase, dieters will be discouraged from exercising entirely. The program actually recommends that you put off any stressful or strenuous activity. This allows for, if you can believe it, better results when it comes to weight loss. This is because our weight loss aid will focus your body's energy on burning your stored fat for energy, utilizing calories from storage instead of a traditional diet.
When done losing the weight , you can incorporate exercise back into your daily routine. What an amazing way to get around weight loss plans that rely heavily on excess exercise. Add Skinny Up!® to your plan and actually get away with no exercise for a while!
Skinny Up!® products might just make holiday stress eating a thing of the past. Wouldn’t it just be easier to hit the ground running with Skinny Up!® Maintain and make a more attainable holiday weight goal to just keep off those yearly couple of pounds rather than over stress and kill yourself try to attain an unrealistic weight loss goal?
Our Maintain weight loss maintenance aid is the perfect answer for your long-term health without unnecessary additional stress, serving as an aid for fighting unhealthy cravings now and providing lifelong support for sugar avoidance altogether*. Better yet, if you're feeling sold on our great products, treat yourself to an early holiday gift and get yourself a full Skinny Up!® Package!
Even better, study up on the science behind health and hunger, and get a plan put into place to cut down on stress eating that can be a huge hindrance to any goals one makes for themselves. Here are a few simple ideas to think about while attempting to lose or maintain weight with Skinny Up!®
“Everything in moderation, even moderation.” -Oscar Wilde
Easier said than done in today’s culture. We are being marketed to, being told to absolutely not do anything in moderation.
It simply isn’t American to act in such a way. It is tragic but true.
If a little is good, a lot must be better.
When I was in 3rd grade, back in 1972, my sister, Kathy, came home with something very special (at least back in those days!): a new package of Oreo cookies.
Now, back then, kids simply didn’t think to do that on their own. Most wouldn’t have the wherewithal to even consider such a big purchase. But my sister thought outside the box. She made a mistake though… Kathy didn’t realize that I had seen her come in with the bag of treats.
She hid them in her closet, way up high, unaware that I was watching her every move.
My sister eventually went to hang with friends. As soon as she left the house and after I was confident that she was gone for a good long time, I made my move.
I absconded with the Oreos and laid on her bed, eating to my heart’s content. I ate as fast as I could and as many as I could because I didn’t know if I’d ever have the opportunity again to such stomach expanding folly.
I was eating so fast that I became nauseous and then my stomach actually started to cramp.
She came back in about 30 minutes and I had eaten most of a perfectly full package of Oreos and couldn’t get off her bed. I was crying from the pain and, as most big sisters would probably do, she laughed at me. She was crying because she was laughing so hard. She wondered why I was so rushed and so determined to eat so fast and so much. I remember telling her that I wasn’t sure when I’d see that many Oreos in one place again and then I couldn’t seem to stop.
That day was another poor example of a lack of moderation.
In the last few years, a new movement is beginning to take root in America. It’s this idea that simplifying or living a more moderate and simple life is ok; even preferred. This is something that can be practiced in our eating habits and our relationship with food.
Most people aren’t starving currently in this country. Most have all they want to eat and then maybe some. More and more of us are overweight, some even morbidly obese.
It’s time to look at food with the idea that there’s plenty and that there’s no need to horde or rush or panic around food. It’s not finite… there’s plenty.
We know that moderation of the foods that you eat, otherwise known as diet diversity, does not tend to contribute to better health.
Limiting the amount of food and the speed at which you eat that food, however, can truly be helpful.
Here are some easy methods to allow you to eat with plenty of time, plenty of ease, and lots of moderation.
1. Portion Control - Look at how large or small the portions are. Is what you have on your plate truly necessary? Every meal should not be Thanksgiving dinner. Take it nice and easy.
A great strategy is to divide you’re your servings in half. You can always go back for more.
2. Slow Down - Turn the TV off and just let your food be food. Not your enemy or your nemesis, just your food. A thing that gives you energy and health.
Practice mindful eating by enjoying your food. Taste every bite. Chew thoroughly. Let mealtime be a sacred and peaceful time where you nourish your body through nutritious food and your soul through meaningful conversations with friends and family.
3. Re-evaluate What Your Body Needs - Most people don’t realize that their stomach is actually only supposed to be about the size of their fist. Yes, that small.
It is the nervous lining which expands and tells us that we are full. Put your fist in the middle of your plate and make sure that the amount of food on your plate is about the same size as your fist. When you do this, you will begin to understand the amount of food that your body really needs rather than simply what it wants.
4. Watch for Cues - Look for the “sigh” in your meal about 10 minutes in. The sigh is something that tells you that you are almost full. Perhaps you have space for one more bite, but not two.
The sigh is the indication that your stomach is pressing on your diaphragm, which means that the stomach is full. If you will listen, you’ll begin to notice it every time. Look for it, study it and use it.
Now you have a method to tell you when you’ve eaten enough and that you are actually full. Everything after that is packing on the pounds for no real reason.
The Skinny Up!® Protocol is a method of teaching you that moderation is a great way to look at food and that the simplification of your approach to food is the first step in winning the fight against the demons of over-eating causing you to not maintain a healthy relationship with your food.
Less is more.
Developing simple approaches to eating is essential to begin the journey of a lifetime of listening to your body; listening to the signals that moderation physically brings to our minds, allowing for a calm relationship between you and your body so that you can be confident in your future weight goals.

Sugar got you down?
If you’re trying to lose weight, but not taking care of your gut health, your journey may be a losing battle. Within the last decade of research, we’ve come to a greater understanding of the trillions of microbes that live in the human gut and how they directly impact overall wellbeing as well as weight loss.
Not surprisingly, the modern American diet (processed foods, refined carbohydrates and sugars, and plenty of additives) isn’t conducive to a healthy gut biome. One of the main culprits in our inability to lose weight effectively is Candida, a fungus or yeast, which causes an imbalance of bad digestive bacteria.
Candida overgrowth is directly linked to weight gain.
Candida (yeast) feeds on sugar. As sugar intake grows, so does Candida. As Candida grows, it demands more sugar. This cycle creates sugar and refined carb cravings, making it difficult for the body to maintain a healthy weight.
Lest you think you’re unaffected by this sugar-Candida relationship, let’s look at the stats: Americans, on average, consume nearly 57 pounds of added sugar per person, per year. The daily recommendation from the American Heart Association is 6 teaspoons of added sugar for women and 9 teaspoons for men, but the total continues to climb past 17 teaspoons daily.
Now, let’s say you choose to cut all sugar cold turkey, but begin to experience uncontrollable sugar cravings early in your weight loss journey. This is a quick path to relapse and a weight loss plateau. Eliminating sugar without a plan in place to remove existing yeast overgrowth (via an antifungal/detoxification treatment) in your gut and replace it with good bacteria may lead to frustration and failure.
P.S. If a healthy weight isn’t the motivation you need, maybe this will give some perspective: diets high in sugar increase risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, anxiety, and depression.
How exactly does Candida correlate to weight gain?
As a refresher, you may be experiencing Candida overgrowth if one or more of the following sounds all too familiar:
All you have to do is consume less calories than you’re burning to lose weight, right? Not so fast. Diet fads like Weight Watchers and intermittent fasting do well to teach participants to control the amount of food they’re intaking, but say little to nothing about the kind of food that’s being consumed.
The problem with counting calories is this: one could easily reduce the amount of calories eaten in a day, but only eat foods that feed and increase yeast growth in the gut, leading to digestive complications, excessive gas, irritable stomach (sometimes manifesting as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, a serious condition), rashes, and unhealthy sugar consumption.
Counting calories is a great place to start, but doesn’t guarantee a decrease in Candida, which impacts long term weight loss and health. The only way to guarantee healthy gut flora and the elimination of Candida overgrowth is a Candida diet or cleanse.
Cleansing yeast from the body is a surefire way to curb sugar cravings, and increase your gut’s ability to process and metabolize the nutrients it needs to lose weight and thrive. The cycle of Candida overgrowth and the consumption of sugar and processed carbohydrates is all but suffocating your weight loss progress before it has a chance to begin.
A Candida cleanse is a natural method of restoring health to your gut biome, treating the underlying cause of weight gain, and relieving your liver from the detoxification process. While the cleanse itself is fairly simple, you may find yourself running into difficulty as you eliminate certain foods from your diet. This will take dedication and support!
The basics of a Candida cleanse for weight loss:
Additionally, it is important to your journey that you include supplements which will encourage the creation of a healthy gut flora and discourage cravings caused by Candida.
Skinny Up! ® is proud to offer our customers proven, all-natural weight loss products that aid the body in killing Candida overgrowth, shedding unwanted pounds, and sustaining a healthy biome for a flourishing gut.
Skinny Up!® is the all-natural & hormone-free solution for weight loss, weight loss maintenance, and detoxification.
