She hasn’t seen him since high school and he shows up at her front door with a news crew and then goes in and looks at her refrigerator! Imagine!!!
Watch this clip and find out what the two commandments are that he gives her. These are things she must do right now to start on her journey to a healthier life.

I also want to say thank you to my Shaklee customers. Our family appreciates the opportunity to serve you by providing wellness information and products. But most importantly, we value your friendship. Over 18 years ago we began this business and over time many of you have become close friends.
I hope you didn’t gain weight over the holidays! But, if you did and you want to lose 10 pounds easily without dieting or doing extreme exercise, then you may want to try the Shaklee Cinch Loss Program. The starter kit is the best value if you want to try the products and have everything you need including meal plans.
Not to brag, but I didn’t gain the standard 5-8 pounds most Americans gain over the holidays. But, that’s because I Cinch EVERYDAY! Yes, everyday I make a Cinch protein shake which helps balance my blood sugars and keep me filling full until lunch time.
If you didn’t get a change to take advantage of our last special, Shaklee has an amazing new special for new members worth more than your membership fee!!!! In 18 years, I’ve never seen an offer this good!
OK, I got your attention with that headline, right? But, I’m not talking about that kind of drinking and I have a feeling you already knew that. But seriously….
Are you having a hard time losing weight?
One of the quickest and easiest ways to start your weight loss program is by changing what you drink.
Did you know that you can easily consume an extra 400 calories a day with your beverages? That would take you an hour in the gym to burn off!
A recent study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that around 37 percent of our total daily liquid calories come from sugar-sweetened drinks. What we drink has a bigger impact on our weight loss than what we eat!
So kick start your weight loss program by changing what you drink!
Drink More Water
The best thing to drink is water! Drink a glass of water before each meal and you will feel fuller and eat less. It will keep you from becoming dehydrated and will give you more energy and keep you “regular.” Water has zero calories and is your best choice for weight loss.
But I don’t like water, what can I drink?
If you absolutely cannot stand plain water, there are some alternatives. Instead of sugary drinks like sodas, coffees, sweetened teas; switch to water, unsweetened teas, and unsweetened coffees. Alcoholic beverages are full of calories so passing on these will help you.
Coffee without sugar added has some beneficial properties by adding antioxidants to your diet. Drink black or use low or non- fat milk or low fat soy milk for cream.
Green teas are noted for helping aid weight loss. Remember, stay away from added sugars.
What about Sugar FREE drinks?
Studies from Purdue University suggest that diet sodas may actually change the way your brain measures caloric intake and may cause you to crave more sweets. Look at everyone you know who is drinking diet soda and think about that!
Take the Challenge
At the gym where I work, I talk with people every day about what they drink. Most people who stop or greatly reduce sodas and sugary drinks lose 5 pounds the first 2 weeks.
I challenge you today to drink only water and non-sweetened beverages and see what happens. (No artificial sweeteners either!)
Please leave a comment in the comment section if you accept the challenge. Then come back in 2 weeks and leave an update of how much you lost with this one simple change!
Also, if you have other ideas for low calorie drinks, please leave a comment.
