STARBODIES™ Metabolism Power Multi Vitamin
|
3 Capsules with breakfast
From
food alone, it is very difficult for you to get the proper
amounts of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants needed to help
your body run at its demanding levels.

In
today’s world, with busy lifestyles, most often nutritious
meals are skipped, and when you don’t take time to
eat, your food choices aren’t always the healthiest.
Because you don’t always consume a perfect diet plan,
it is that much more important to include the STARBODIES™ Metabolism Power Multi
in your daily diet. This will ensure that you are
supplying your body with all the essential nutrients to keep
from being deficient, and give your body the help it needs
to stay at it’s top level to fight off diseases, and
metabolize and burn food for energy at a very efficient level.
Supplementing
your diet with the STARBODIES™ Metabolism Power Multi takes the guesswork out
and gives your body all the essential nutrients to help burn body fat efficiently and perform at an elite level.

|
-
1000mg daily ( for men & women ages 19 to 50)

Calcium/Magnesium
is needed for your teeth and bones, while also helping to
prevent osteoporosis and other degenerating bodily diseases.
If you cannot tolerate milk, or you’re following
a low carbohydrate diet and not consuming milk, your calcium
needs are not being met. Including a Calcium supplement
to your diet will assist you in meeting your calcium/magnesium
requirements.

When
your body is under stress,
whether it’s stress from everyday life or the stress
you put your body under during a workout, a stress hormone called cortisol is released.
This hormone causes your muscles to breakdown to provide
your body with amino acids for tissue repair and assist
your immune system. This
stress hormone, cortisol, also causes your body to store
fat; this is a bodily survival mechanism. Glutamine blocks
cortisol.
Also,
when you are sleeping at night, your body is repairing and
building itself from the stresses and work it has gone through
during the daytime. You do not want your body to break down
lean muscle tissue during the night. So, going 6-8 hours
at night without nourishment for your muscles that you are
trying to build is not a good thing. You need to take glutamine
before bedtime to block any muscle-breakdown; you
want to build lean muscle mass, not lose it while you sleep.
(Remember; Muscle = Metabolism).
An
example of the very important role that glutamine plays
is as follows: Remember, while exercising, you are tearing
down your muscles, and on your non-training days or at rest,
you are re-building your muscles. When at rest, if your
body detects a tear in a muscle, your body will attack that
tear in that muscle (kind of like the immune system fighting
off a cold), to break it back down (kind of like sloughing
it off), to supply your body with more amino acids to make
other repairs.
You
do not want your body to waste any lean muscle tissue that
you’re trying to build. Remember, glutamine blocks
that hormone, cortisol, giving your body more time to repair
that muscle instead of wasting it.
The STARBODIES™ Whey To Muscle shakes are loaded with glutamine! They contain
4600mg of glutamine per 12oz shake.

Glucosamine
w/ Chondroitin & MSM
|
- The
Recommended Daily Amount
Many
clients complain of joint problems, either in their knees
or elbows, before starting their workout program; you can
even hear their knees crack when they walk. Glucosamine
w/ Chondroitin & MSM has proven (in study after study)
to repair and build joint cartilage, ligaments, tendons,
and even collagen. After supplementing with Glucosamine,
most everyone forgets that they had an ailment, and…no
more cracking sounds!
|
|
Creatine
Monohydrate
|
-
Once daily
It
improves skeletal muscle cell volume, strength,
and recovery. Remember, the more strength you have, the more
weight you can lift. The more weight you can lift, the more
lean muscle mass you can build. The more lean muscle mass that
you build, the higher your metabolism. The higher your metabolism,
the more fat you can burn, even at rest. |

STARBODIES™ Whey to MUSCLE - Low-Carb Shakes
|
- 2 shakes per day to supplement your daily protein intake.
With just food alone, it is quite difficult to consume adequate amounts of needed protein, without
going over your daily calorie requirements. STARBODIES™ Whey To MUSCLE will help you meet your needed protein requirements every
2-3 hours, to feed your muscles, and still stay within your calorie limits... even with your busy schedule.
Drink two STARBODIES™ shakes per day, one at breakfast and another for a
mid-day protein snack. Mix 2 scoops with 12oz of water & ice in a blender. For breakfast, also add 1 TBSP of Flax Seed Oil to your shake, in the blender.
Starbodies® Whey to MUSCLE is a Premium Cross-Flow Microfiltered Whey Protein Isolate. It is not an inferior whey blend or concentrate like many other brands on the market.
FEEDS YOUR MUSCLE! MUSCLE = METABOLISM!

Flax Seed Oil (Essential Fatty Acids)
|
- 1 Tbsp daily or Capsules (Keep refrigerated)
Your body cannot produce essential fatty acids. They must be
supplied by the diet. And although many people don’t
believe it, we
do need fat.
Many studies suggest that Flax Seed Oil stimulates body fat loss. When you eat a low-fat
diet,
your body actually thinks you are in a famine, and your
body protects itself by not releasing fat.
It’s a survival mechanism. However, studies suggest that when
flax is taken, your body detects that good fat is coming in,
so it makes it easier for your body to release the bad fat your
body has been storing.
Essential fatty acids are also beneficial to your skin and hair,
plus they are currently being studied to help against cancer
and many other bodily diseases.
I pour a Tbsp of Flax Seed Oil in my morning STARBODIES™ Whey to MUSCLE protein shake, each and every day.

STARBODIES™ Psyllium Husk Fiber Capsules |
- Take one serving 2x per day
- Do not take with other vitamins or your vitamins will not be absorbed.
Psyllium
from the seed husks of Plantago Ovata have the highest fiber
content and the best quality.

STARBODIES™ Psyllium
Husk Fiber is not digested or metabolized by your body.
The fiber binds with water and waste materials to pass through
your intestines, to the colon, and then out of your body.
Along the way, this helps to keep your digestive tract clean
and eliminate toxic waste from remaining in your colon,
which helps against colon cancer and many other diseases.
When
STARBODIES™ Psyllium Fiber is combined with a simple carbohydrate food,
the fiber helps to slow down the absorption rate of the
sugar, giving your body more time to burn that sugar for
energy, instead of storing the excess as body fat.
For
example, simple carbohydrates have little or no fiber at
all. When simple carbohydrates are consumed, your body breaks
them down to sugar very easily. In turn, your body releases
the hormone, insulin, to take up that sugar and store some
as glycogen, and the excess as body fat. However, complex
carbohydrates have fiber so they don’t break down
so easily, which means insulin is not triggered to take
up the excess sugar in your blood, and fat storage doesn’t
take place.
Another
important thing about STARBODIES™ Fiber is how it helps to regulate
your insulin levels. When
STARBODIES™ Fiber is added to your diet, this helps your blood sugar
stay stable, longer, instead of you having the effects of
high blood sugar (energy), then low blood sugar (you could
just go to sleep). Your energy & mood swings will stay
even throughout the day, so you can get more accomplished
in your busy world, instead of feeling the sugar crash and
tired feeling from the simple carbs.
STARBODIES™ Fiber
also helps keep you feeling fuller longer, so not to overeat.
I
take my STARBODIES™ Psyllium Fiber Capsules with water morning and night, just to keep all
toxins moving out of my body on a regular basis. Also if
I consume a treat that is considered more of a simple carbohydrate
and lacks much fiber, I will take a little extra STARBODIES™ Fiber with
it. This keeps blood sugars level and hopefully, no fat
storage.

Thermogenics
|
- Thermo (meaning heat)
- Genics (meaning generating)
Thermogenics
are anything that create heat in your body, which cause your
metabolism to burn at a higher rate. There are various types
of thermogenics. For instance:
-
Supplements containing caffeine, synephrine, bitter orange, green tea, etc. cause
your metabolism to speed up.
- Saunas & hot tubs raise your body temperature.
-
Ice baths cause
the body to create body heat to warm itself.
- Exercise |
|
- During
exercise |
it
causes a raised metabolism while tearing down muscles. |
- After
exercise |
resting
heart rate is higher for many hours after the workout,
while your body tries to repair
& rebuild itself.
|
-
Eating small meals every 2-3 hours keeps
your metabolism turned on all day long, while your body digests,
absorbs, & processes the food.

And many more

SPLENDA (Sucralose)
|
-
As needed for coffee & tea
SPLENDA
is a non-calorie sweetener made
from sugar. It does not contain aspartame or saccharin.
SPLENDA is the non-calorie sweetener in the STARBODIES™ Whey to MUSCLE protein shakes.
|
|
Green
Tea
|
-
Tea Bags (iced or hot) or Green Tea Capsules
Green Tea is a great
antioxidant.
Antioxidants neutralize free radicals. Free Radicals are formed
from radiation from the sun, pollutants, and numerous things,
even diet. They cause much damage to your body. Think of free
radicals like a ping-pong ball bouncing sporadically in your
body, doing damage, breaking down collagen everywhere it strikes.
Over time this ping-pong ball is really doing some tearing down
to your body. Antioxidants protect your body. Antioxidants would
neutralize our pretend ping-pong ball so as not to do any more damage.
When
I’m going outside for a day in the sun, I take an extra
STARBODIES™ Metabolism Power Multi because it is full of antioxidants, and a pitcher of iced green tea.

|
CLA
(Conjugated Linoleic Acid)
|
-
1000mg Capsules 1 to 3 times per day
CLA
is a fatty acid that has shown to interfere with an enzyme
called lipoprotein lipase. This lipoprotein lipase enzyme
helps your body store fat into fat cells. Also, CLA has shown
to increase lean muscle tissue in bodybuilders, which again,
raises metabolism and burns more calories. |
|
Chlorophyll
|
-
As needed, in tablet or liquid form (Keep Refrigerated)
Most
people won’t tell you this, but often when dieting
and restricting simple carbohydrates, ketosis
(fat burning), causes bad breath,
but chlorophyll
freshens breath.
Chlorophyll tablets can be swallowed or the liquid can be
mixed with water. Also, Spirulina, Alfalfa, and Parsley are
made of chlorophyll; so eat your parsley on your plate. It’s
not just for decoration.
Spirulina, Alfalfa, and Parsley are also ingredients in the STARBODIES™ Metabolism Power Multi. |
