Dear reillymkr1947:

Here is how I got in the best ameri shape of my life!

Read on weight loss warriors.....Here is a valuable tip for all......The best way to lose weight, tone up, and help lower your blood cholesterol level is to eat less saturated fat,carbs,and begin to control your current weight with walking or do another physical activity for at least 30 minutes each day. This plan is based on these simple steps and amerishape.com has taken the guess work out of figuring this out on your own.
 
Use up at least as many calories as you take in.
Be physically active.
Aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity on most days of the week, if not all.
Eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods.
Eat a diet rich in vegetables and fruits.
Choose whole-grain, high-fiber foods.
Eat fish at least twice a week.
Eat less of the nutrient-poor foods.
Limit how much saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol you eat.
Choose lean meats and poultry without skin and prepare them without added saturated and trans fat.
Select fat-free, 1 percent fat and low-fat dairy products.
Cut back on foods containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oils to reduce trans fat in your diet.
Cut back on foods high in dietary cholesterol.
Cut back on beverages and foods with added sugars.
Choose and prepare foods with little or no salt.
If you drink alcohol, drink in moderation.
Follow the American Heart Association and amerishape.com recommendations when you eat out.
Read the nutrition facts label and ingredients list.

Avoid use of and exposure to tobacco products.
 
Regards,
Anita Gross
 
 
THANK YOU Ameri Shape !
 
I want to THANK YOU for allowing me to try your program. You gave me HOPE at Losing Weight. Having Diabetes in my family and my brother just diagnosed with it…. I was on my way to possibly being next. I didn’t have a clue on how to help myself. No matter what I did I couldn’t Lose weight. I was getting larger and larger and very depressed and lethargic. I thought eating less would do it, but I was eating the wrong things together in turn it was like eating more food. How would I have known?
 
I didn’t believe I’d ever lose weight eating all the food I did on the menus. Especially since I had to modify the menus to the foods I have available to me at a lower income, I thought for sure this wouldn’t work. To my surprise within the first 4 days I lost 5 lbs. and inches. This new way of eating is so stimulating to me. I have energy!!! I’m not Lethargic!!! I am able to exercise!!! The simple stretching techniques are simple enough that the routine has become an every day routine for me….increasing reps as I’m able.
 
I’ve been eating this new way now for 14 days and I’ve gone from 223 lbs. to 208 (15 lbs.) as of today. I’ve lost 3 inches in my chest & waist, 6 inches on my Hips & Thighs, 1 inch on my wrist & bicep. You’ve been truly heaven sent to me and I thank God for your website and the chance you’ve taken with allowing me to try this program. I’ve told so many people about this way of living and your website and emails. I love getting the words of encouragement, recipes, and interesting articles. Thank you for sponsoring me! I truly appreciate you. Thanks again for making a LIFE CHANGING difference in my life!
 
I never want to go back to my old habits.

Ameri Shape——-It Works !
 
I was diagnosed with high blood sugar and high blood pressure, and I searched the internet to learn all I could do to make both levels go down. I came across this site, and just let me say I have have followed the diet plan, used the advice of my coach, learned about an alternative life style, and have had a great deal of fun using the site extensively. My blood sugar is completely normal without medication, I have lost 20 pounds rather quickly, my blood pressure is no longer high at all, and I am learning how to live a healthy life without the need for any medication. We are what we eat, and thanks to this simple, accurate diet plan and the advice on this site, I have more energy than I have ever had and my life is good again.
 
Thank you sooooooo much Ameri Shape

I Love The Ameri Shape Program!!
 
Am following the eating plan, except that I eat zone bars at midmorning & midafternoon breaks at work. I’m walking 1 mile each morning, using weight machines (chest, shoulders, back, legs & abs) 3 mornings (MWF)per week, and walking 2 miles each evening. Use heart rate monitor to stay in aerobic zone and even have to jog a bit now. I will be adding free weights and changing my routine to M,T,Th,F next week working abs 4 days, chest, shoulder, back 2 days, arms& legs 2 days. Plan to add yoga next month. My blood pressure is now normal, cholesterol down from 267 to 168, glycohemoglobin from 11 to 5.5. On only one med now. Have lost 33 pounds since diagnosis in December have decided my body will arrive at it’s best weight by December.
 
Love this Ameri shape program!!!

It Works!
 
…..Hey Ameri Shape by the way, 2 more lbs. last week!!!! Fasting blood sugars are normal or near normal EVERYDAY. I can’t believe how simple and easy this is for me. Tell the person that developed this program, he’s almost a God! I’m so glad I found this website, I believe it’s going to save me from having to go on diabetes meds as long as I keep eating this way and exercising. Trust me even Weight Watchers didn’t work for me………

In 1 months time
 
So from March 28th of this year to April 28th, yesterday; I faithfully stayed on the diabetic diet that Dr. Rubin had sent to me AND I mean faithfully. Every Monday, Wednesday & Friday I went to my loca gym and I must say it’s paid off thus far. Cuz umm well it’s Tues now, [I work nite shift, so following this diet was even harder], but Monday I got weighted & measured AND…………………DRUM ROLL: I’ve lost 12 inches & 14 1/2 pounds!!!
 
- Carolyn
 
Thank You
 
I will never be able to thank you enough for developing and maintaining this nutritional plan. On January 1, I weighed 217 lbs (I’m 5 ft tall) and would have been entirely happy if the only two foods on earth were chocolate and Pepsi. Within less than a week of starting this program, I had absolutely no dependence on either. I’ve lost 37 lbs and will be celebrating by playing in one of my favorite tennis tournaments in June. I stopped considering your program a diet a couple of months ago. It is and will continue to be a part of my life.

Oh my gawd!
 
Thank you Ameri Shape for the newsletter and support. I have noticed a considerable change in mood, energy and zest for life! I’m not hungry all the time, and I don’t have to take afternoon naps, as before starting this new approach to eating. I jump out of bed mornings, ready to start the day. I even get up earlier. So thanks to you and the support team for introducing me to a much better life.
 
- Bernadette
 
Amost There !
 
Thank you Ameri Shape for your response. I have been very pleased to participate in this program. I have completely changed my lifestyle. My eating habits are better and much healthier and I have incorporated daily physical activity. I have successfully lost 1/2 (25 lb.) of my targeted weight. I plan to continue with all of my lifestyle changes. The online program provided is absolutely wonderful and served as my daily motivation to complete the challenge. With sincere thanks..Peggy.

WEIGHT FALLS OFF!!! Lost 30 lbs!!!!
 
“I was thrilled to find out that there really IS such a thing as ‘the weight just falls off’. This isn’t a diet, it’s a way of living that just make sense. I lost 30 lbs and was never hungry. I’m found renewed energy, slept better and woke up feeling refreshed.
 
I would recommend Ameri Shape to anyone!”

Motivated For Success
 
Hi Everyone, It has been great doing the weight loss program with you. I’ve lost 11lbs. so far and plan to continue until I reach my goal of 10 more. You have so many good tips and recipes to follow. However, I won’t be able to weigh out at any store on April 3rd as I’ll be travelling. I wish to thank you for your support and will continue to check in with your web-site for follow-up programmes. This has made me much more aware of reading labels.
 
Thanks again Ameri Shape.

Thanks again for your help AMERI SHAPE.

Bugs Bunny's Thanksgiving Diet

In this seasonal tribute to the traditional Thanksgiving meal, Bugs Bunny dispenses diet advice -- including, of course, carrots -- to his friends who have overindulged during their holiday celebration. Dr. Bugs applies his medical expertise to Porky Pig and Sylvester, who are afraid they've put on weight, and calls on assistance from Yosemite Sam, The Road Runner, Tweety and the Tazmanian Devil to prove his dieting theories.
