Ideal Weight: let’s build a profile
Ideal weight has always been a constant concern for all of us, especially for the ladies. But is that still the case?
Until a few decades ago it was a mainly female topic, but lately the needle on the scales has swung towards the male world too. Many men have started to keep a close eye on their bodies and to try to keep their weight within specific standards.
Before we delve into the ins and outs of ideal weight and find out which weight control supplements and which approaches work best for you (that’s right, we’ll be talking about all this very shortly), let’s build a profile of that great unknown: ideal weight.
What is ideal weight?
By ideal weight we mean that little number that comes out of specific calculations and represents the weight a person should ideally have for their height and age. Numbers aside, if you’re at your ideal weight, you notice it straight away. Once you reach it, in fact, you feel good about yourself and you have more energy, both physically and mentally.
The result of this calculation (we’ll stop keeping you on tenterhooks in a moment and reveal the formula) is your BMI, or Body Mass Index, and it is calculated by dividing your weight (in kg) by your height (in m) squared.
All right, put like that it may not sound so simple, but take a look at the formula written down:
BMI = weight (kg)/height (m)²
A bit clearer, isn’t it?
Have you done the maths? Good, now let’s look at the results.
If your result is between 18.5 and 24.9, you’re in the normal weight range. Great job! Your goal should be to maintain this weight and make an effort not to swing either way.
If your number is below 18.5, it means you’re underweight and you could start a plan with a nutritionist to get back up to your minimum values. Finally, if the value is above 25, it means you’re a little overweight and you should work on adapting your diet and physical activity to get back within the range.
Before we go any further, a quick clarification. This formula doesn’t take into account factors such as the difference between lean mass and fat mass, age and level of activity. You can use it as a starting point and then see a qualified professional to look into it further and understand your situation in even more detail.
Why have we kept mentioning diet? Because it’s the first piece of the puzzle to consider in reaching and maintaining your ideal weight.
Alongside your diet, it’s also important to include some physical exercise. There’s no need for extreme sweat sessions at the gym or lifting weights bigger than you. Even a brisk 30-minute walk every day is an excellent workout (and a free one, too!)
Finally, the last side of the ideal-weight triangle to consider is supplementation which, if you’ve taken the previous steps properly, can play a key role and be your “trump card”!
Why it’s important to keep your weight in check
Have you ever asked yourself this? Few people stop to think about it. All too often people think that “weight control” means being thin. HOLD ON! Let’s stop that thought right there!
Thin doesn’t automatically mean healthy. There’s healthy thin and unhealthy thin and, unfortunately, many people aim for the latter, blinded by images of celebrities.
The weight control you aim for must be about your wellbeing! About making you feel good and, above all, healthy.
Remember the formula from earlier? Well, whether you’re above 25 or below 18, either way you need to do something to get back to your ideal weight.
If you’re underweight, you may run into problems such as weak, brittle hair, low energy, weak immune defences, low iron and so on…1(https://www.ok-salute.it/benessere/sei-sottopeso-ecco-cosa-rischi/6/)
If, on the other hand, you’re above 25, the problems you could run into include heart problems such as heart attacks or strokes, diabetes, high blood pressure, breathing difficulties…
In short, in either case the picture isn’t exactly rosy, wouldn’t you agree?
The number one technique for weight control
Let’s get to the heart of the matter! By now you’ll have realised that we’re talking about achieving wellbeing here, and that it’s important to take the right steps.
When it comes to weight control, the first step you need to take is to cleanse your body! Picture this scene.
In front of you there’s a very wide road, and along the sides you can see lots of rubbish bags. These bags are so bulky that little by little they start to take up the whole carriageway.
Now back to the human body. The road represents your circulation and the rubbish bags are the toxins and waste products that come from the normal processes of your cells, but also from a poor diet, a sedentary lifestyle, smoking, alcohol…
Now for another preliminary point. Weight control supplements work by activating the metabolism and deep-cleansing the cells. As a result, the cells are freed of toxins and excess fluids, but all of these end up being released into the circulation. And what if the circulation is clogged?
Do you see why a thorough detox is important? This way we “prepare the ground” for what comes next. In a moment we’ll reveal how to do a targeted detox while also tackling weight control!
And now on to phase two: weight control supplements.
Natural thermogenics and effective weight control supplements
Let’s get straight to the point. We said that before turning to an actual weight control supplement, you need to prepare your body with a detox.
And to achieve this, you have two very loyal companions: Epasal and Diuresan Enhanced Formula.
Epasal is your liver’s best friend. Why? Because thanks to it, your liver works better and feels much lighter. With Epasal, in fact, you cleanse your liver, your blood and your whole body in general. This is made possible by the combined action of Artichoke, Milk Thistle, Phyllanthus, Fumitory and Olive Leaves. These plants will help your liver work better, get rid of toxins and waste more easily, improve bile secretion (essential for digesting fats) and “shrink” enlarged livers!
We mentioned two allies for detoxing, and now let us introduce the second. The right-hand man of liver cleansing is called Diuresan Enhanced Formula
It’s a supplement made with Mouse-ear Hawkweed, Birch, Orthosiphon, Ash and Hibiscus that works to carry away toxins and waste (those famous rubbish bags). Its action is very deep and ensures drainage of the lymphatic system and a slimmer silhouette.
All by increasing diuresis. So remember to always drink plenty of water between meals throughout the day!
Once your body has been properly cleansed, we move on to the real action with the number one supplement for weight control, a latest-generation natural thermogenic: Dimasal
Thanks to Dimasal, you reshape your figure, counter fat deposits on the thighs, tummy, hips and buttocks, act on emotional hunger, promote collagen synthesis and stimulate your metabolism.
All without stimulating the thyroid (no seaweed or other substances containing iodine), the cardiovascular system (no caffeine or other nervous system stimulants) or the gut (no laxatives).
It’s a unique product on the market because it contains 3 innovative patented ingredients, backed by clinical studies, combined with plants that are very effective in the field of weight control. In particular, the key players in Dimasal are:
- SelectSIEVE Rainbow®, useful for a thermogenic effect and for inhibiting the absorption of sugars and fats.
- DERMOGRANATE®, useful for eliminating free radicals and reducing fat deposits in fat cells
- SATIEREAL® works on appetite, in particular on hunger and cravings for sweet things.
- Green Tea: stimulates the metabolism and reduces fat deposits.
- Cassia nomame, a fantastic plant for inhibiting the absorption of fats and sugars.
Has the much-hated cellulite turned up along with those few extra kilos? No problem, leave it to Biosnel Enhanced Formula
Biosnel Enhanced Formula is the supplement that works on fat cells, particularly those that cause cellulite and blemishes.
Its action is so deep that it works on the root of it all: inflammation of the connective tissue.
In particular, its action is made possible by:
- Pineapple: the connective tissue anti-inflammatory par excellence! It works against swelling and on water retention, especially the kind that shows up on the buttocks and thighs.
- Centella: the plant that’s a friend to women, and in particular to their circulation. It improves microcirculation by removing the toxins that congest it and, as a result, retained fluids.
- Red Vine: its focus is entirely on the capillaries, and it works to improve their main function: delivering nutrients to the cells and carrying away toxins. If this important function isn’t at its best, the whole system suffers.
- Garcinia: counters the tendency of fats to be deposited in the subcutaneous tissue (fat cells) and also has an effect on the metabolism, stimulating its activation.
- Gynostemma: has a deep antioxidant action and improves the metabolism of sugars and fats, so that they are used for energy rather than stored.
Quite a team, isn’t it? And you should know that all the plants that make up these supplements are in the form of a standardised dry extract.
Having a supplement with standardised dry extracts means being certain that the most suitable active ingredient of that plant has been chosen, in a precise and consistent amount which, to let you in on a secret, is what determines how effective a product is.
To make sure a supplement contains them, all you need to do is read the label and look for the words “e.s. tit.” (standardised dry extract) next to the name of the plant.
And now let’s think about your taste buds! Did you think weight control meant going hungry? Nothing could be further from the truth, at least for us. It means choosing the right foods.
For example, what do you eat when hunger strikes and you feel a bit peckish?
These! Salugea’s delicious Premium Quality Goji Berries.
Goji berries are packed with antioxidants and micronutrients, and they give a pleasant feeling of fullness. These three features make them the perfect snack for weight control.
They also provide plenty of energy and support the immune system. What more could you want!
Before we say goodbye, we have one last piece of wonderful news for you. Yes, we can still surprise you…
We’ve brought these products together in specific programmes for Him and for Her. In particular, we have the Weight Control Programme for Women and the Weight Control Programme for Men, so you’ll have them all together while keeping an eye on your wallet, because the Programme is discounted!
