Did You Know

Did you know you don?t have to pay hundreds of dollars to check your metabolism?
Here is a simple check that you can do yourself in the comfort of your home. Your body temperature reflects your metabolic rate, which is largely determined by hormones secreted by the thyroid gland. All that is needed is a thermometer.

  • 1. If using a non digital thermometer shake the thermometer to below 95?F(35?C) and place it by your bed before going to sleep at night.
  • 2. On waking, place the thermometer in your armpit for a full 10 minutes. It is important to make as little movement as possible. Lying and resting with your eyes closed is best. Do not get up until the 10 minute test is complete. (Digital thermometers await the beep to show temperature recording is complete.)
  • 3. After 10 minutes, read and record the temperature and date.
  • 4. Record the temperature for at least three mornings in a row (preferably at the same time of day). Menstruating women must perform the test from the second, third and fourth day of menstruation onwards. Men and post-menopausal women can perform the test on any days.

If your body temperature remains under 97.7?F (36.5?C) for three consecutive days you may have a metabolism problem. Click here to find your closest qualified Transformations Health Care Practitioner.

Did you know we were sent the wrong message?
For the past 30 years we've been told to reduce our fat intake and to count our calories.

Studies show that about 62% of adults and 34% of children are overweight or obese.

For many years the dietary pyramid has encouraged us to consume six to 11 servings of carbohydrates daily. Research has suggested that those levels are too high, taking into consideration our relatively sedentary lifestyles.

Clever marketing and the availability of high carbohydrate foods have led or contributed to many Americans being overweight.

Carbohydrates not burnt for energy by the body are taken up by the fat cells and stored as fat. Some of the health risks of being overweight include type 2 diabetes, fatigue, insomnia, menopausal symptoms, depression, high blood pressure, infertility, heart disease/stroke, arthritis/gout, high cholesterol, cancer and gall bladder disease.

The Ultra Lite program was voted best weight management program for 2005 and 2006 by readers of Slimming Magazine.

The program was designed to provide virtually all the necessary amounts of protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and essential fatty acids in proper balance.

It shows how to make better food choices and how to recognize correct portion sizes. The program is available only by trained and licensed health care practitioners.

Ultra Lite Profile
The Ultra Lite weight management program was voted the best Weight Management program for 2005 & 2006 by the readers of Slimming Magazine.

Ultra Lite helps thousands of people each year achieve their weight loss goals.

What is the Ultra Lite Weight loss program?
The Ultra Lite weight loss program is the brainchild of Tony LeVannais, who is a Naturopath with more than 20 years of experience helping people to achieve healthy and natural weight loss.

Tony specifically designed the Ultra Lite program to provide people wanting to lose weight with virtually all the necessary amounts of protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and essential fatty acids in proper balance.

Because professional ongoing support is often so important to successful long term weight loss, the Ultra Lite program is only available through Ultra Lite's Australia-wide network of qualified practitioners.

Ultra Lite is Educational
With the help and ongoing support of their Transformations practitioner, people on the Ultra Lite program are empowered to make better food choices and are not required to purchase food products or meal replacements. Instead, they learn about different food groups and more importantly correct portion sizes.

But it's not just education that is provided; all participants receive a complete system with all the tools they need to successfully lose weight.

Food preparation and the Ultra Lite system
While everyone at Ultra Lite believes that education is the key element in maintaining long term weight management and good health, they also know that most people these days lead very busy and time-constrained lives.

With that in mind, food preparation is very simple on the Ultra Lite program.

Only wholesome readily available foods such as meat, fish, cheese, eggs, whole grains, vegetables and fruit are recommended.

To help minimize cravings between meals, four Ultra Lite nutritional packets are taken each day. These packets do not cost any extra as they are included in the overall program fee.

As well as helping to minimize cravings, these sachets provide the body with additional vitamins, minerals and amino acids.

The Ultra Lite manual, which everyone who goes on the Ultra Lite program is given during their first consultation, also provides recipes and food combination charts to make food choices as easy as possible. By following the recommended eating plan and consuming the specially prepared packets, the bodies of those on the Ultra Lite program burn stored fat cells as energy, rather than depleting vital fluids and muscle mass.

A simple test is performed each day at home to confirm that this process is taking place as it should.
