JUMP-START
YOUR SUCCESS!

 

Now that you understand the Sexy Forever nutrition plan, you have all the tools you need to create excellent health, a detoxified body, and the slim figure you have always wanted. The eating program on its own may be enough to get you the results you were hoping for when you picked up this book. That being said, if you are impatient, like most people, you would probably like to have a way to make your results happen both faster and more easily. Faster and easier is pretty appealing!

In this section, I will share with you the tools I have found invaluable to assist in the detoxification and the weight loss process. Select any and all you think may help you break the habits that have been keeping you from being the healthy, slim person you want to become.

As a person who has been at the forefront of the health and wellness field for two decades, I am exposed to just about every product on the market—and every person with a product they’d
like
to be on the market! Those of you who follow me know I am extremely discerning about any products I manufacture or endorse. I demand the highest quality. I expect results. It has to solve a problem for me. If it works for me, I will recommend it to you.

Of the thousands of products I have been asked to review, here are the
ones I found worthy of my stamp of approval. Some I manufacture under my own brand and sell at
SuzanneSomers.com
. For other products, I provide a link to outside websites. And then there are products I encourage you to find at your favorite retail outlet. (You will find these products, or links to these products, at
SuzanneSomers.com
in the Sexy Forever section, or at the book’s companion website,
SexyForeverPlan.com/book.
) Let me share a few of my favorites, from my amazing (if I say so myself) SUZANNE food products to cleansing juices, natural products to curb those derailing cravings, and vitamins and supplements that support detoxification, weight loss, and immune building. Some people want it all, and others are happy to simply follow the nutrition plan. The choice is yours!

SEXY FOREVER MAQUI JUICE BLEND

One of the most effective tools I have found to jump-start the cleansing and weight loss process is this amazing juice. You have spent a lifetime unknowingly building up the toxic burden in your system. With this added first step, you can immediately target the built-up toxins in your cells and release the stored fat.

The amazing maqui berry has a higher concentration of antioxidants than any other known food source on the planet! The high amount of anthocyanins found in the maqui berry give it a rich, deep purple color. They also have an unbelievably great taste. The indigenous Mapuche Indians of the Patagonian region have relied on the maqui berry’s benefits for thousands of years. The Patagonian region of South America, specifically in the remote forests of Chile, is one of the most fertile areas on earth. In this region, the maqui berry grows much larger than maqui berries grown elsewhere in the world. While some researchers believe that the maqui berry’s high concentration of antioxidants is due to its geographic location, new research theorizes that the reason for the increase in the berry’s size and its corresponding nutritional value is the elevated bombardment of ultraviolet rays from a hole in the ozone layer. (Perhaps the
only instance where the hole in the ozone layer does anything remotely positive.)

Here are the ingredients included in the Sexy Forever Maqui Juice Blend:

Maqui berry
—As we’ve just read, this main ingredient is an extraordinary source of antioxidants. In addition, it’s a leading source of phytochemicals, vitamins A and C, calcium, potassium, iron, and other essential vitamins and minerals.

Aloe vera
—This plant is high in vitamins A, C, E, and B, including folic acid and niacin; it also contains minerals including calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, as well as anti-inflammatory and digestive aids.

Acai berry—
The acai berry is high in anthocyanins, Omega-3, 6, and 9 fatty acids, amino acids, protein, a variety of vitamins and minerals, plant sterols, and fiber.

Pomegranate
—This is a natural source of vitamins C and B
12
and potassium.

Mangosteen
—This funnily named fruit is valued for its deep purple color and antioxidant properties. It is one of the most popular fruits in Asia.

Noni berry—
Rich in fiber, vitamin C, niacin, iron, and potassium.

Goji berry
—Contains six essential vitamins, eleven essential minerals, and eighteen amino acids.

Amla fruit—
This relatively unknown fruit has one of the highest concentrations of vitamin C of any naturally occurring substance.

Grape skin extract—
Contains bioflavonoid and nonbioflavonoid polyphenols. Includes resveratrol, a phytoalexin (type of antibiotic) and polyphenol that is produced naturally by plants when under attack by pathogens such as bacteria or fungi.

Green tea leaf extract—
Green tea is a terrific aid in boosting fat loss. It contains a high amount of polyphenols and has been relied on in areas such as Japan, China, India, and Thailand for more than four thousand years.

Pterostilbene
—Found in fruits such as blueberries and grapes, this compound has great potential in promoting health. Its benefits rival those of resveratrol.

Gingko biloba extract
—By now you’ve heard of gingko’s neuroprotective benefits, which come from its flavonoid glycosides and terpenoids.

The formula for Sexy Forever Juice Blend supports cleansing and weight management, as well as the immune system and healthy liver function. It is fully loaded with a broad spectrum of antioxidants, phytonutrients, polyphenols, and other critical ingredients needed for detoxification.

For best results, follow the instructions on the bottle to use this product on Days 1 and 2 of the Detox Phase. You simply mix 16 ounces juice with 16 ounces water and drink it all day long, then repeat for the second day with no other food. The average person sees great results with this amazing jump start! Talk about incentive! Don’t be worried that you have to put this fast off until you can commit to being home for two days and chained to your bathroom. It’s not that extreme. Yes, you will experience elimination, but in a very controlled manner. Goodbye toxins. Order it on my website, and when it comes in the mail, start the very next morning. For continued antioxidant, cleansing, and weight loss benefits, after you complete the first two days, drink 1 ounce each morning. It’s never too early to begin detoxifying your system.

SEXY FOREVER WEIGHT LOSS FORMULA

This scientifically proven weight loss powder includes four clinically tested nutrients (LuraLean,
Phaseolus vulgaris
, irvingia, and green tea phytosome), described on
this page
together in one formula specifically designed to enhance my Sexy Forever plan. You’ve read about the science earlier in
Sexy Forever;
now let me give it to you in layman’s terms. I will just say that stirring this powder into water and drinking it before your two
largest meals of the day literally blasts off the pounds! The clinical studies on these ingredients were proven for weight loss, even when the participants did not alter their eating. Added to the sensible guidelines of my nutrition program and exercise regimen, this gives you a one-two punch that will launch your weight loss with incredible results.

LIFEWAVE NANOTECHNOLOGY PATCHES

I have written at length about David Schmidt and his amazing nanotechnology patches. I encourage you to investigate these products for non-drug solutions to pain, sleep problems, lack of energy, detoxification, and appetite suppression. Here are the two I find particularly beneficial for the topics I have covered in this book.

SP6 Complete Appetite Control Patch

When do those hunger pangs hit you? Afternoon or late-night cravings can sabotage any weight loss plan. This self-adhesive appetite control patch utilizes the ancient principles of acupressure to gently stimulate points on the body that have been used to balance and control appetite for thousands of years. The result is a natural reduction in hunger and food cravings without any drugs, stimulants, or needles entering the body. Plus, the patch is non-transdermal, so nothing enters your body. For people who want appetite suppressants with no stimulants and who don’t like to take pills or powders, this makes for a very easy, convenient way to achieve those results.
