It’s fun during the holidays to give
gifts to loved ones. It’s also fun to be nice to yourself, especially if you do
something that will continue to pay off in some way for a long time. For many
people, NutriMost is a gift that keeps on giving. Initially, NutriMost helps
people to lose a substantial amount of weight in a short period of time.
After going through the NutriMost
program, people continue to benefit by keeping the weight off. However, there
are lots of other benefits that aren’t reflected on the scale. Many people are
able to discontinue their use of prescription medications for conditions like
high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes. In addition to being
a health benefit, it is an economic benefit since it saves money.
Another healthy by-product of losing
twenty pounds or more is that there is a lot less stress on the knees, hips,
and ankles. It’s just easier to walk, run, and generally move around. For many
people, losing weight eases the pain of arthritis and inflammation, which can
diminish any desire to move.
Non-scale Victories

When people lose weight on NutriMost,
they get some very desirable side effects as well. We sometimes call them
“non-scale victories.” People have improved digestion, better sleep, and higher
energy levels. A person’s appearance can change dramatically. Many people feel
more confident in themselves. As that happens, people notice that they are more
upbeat and cheerful. The transformations can be quite remarkable.
NutriMost is about so much more than
losing weight or even improving health. It’s about living life to the fullest,
something that can be hard to do when you’re significantly overweight and
feeling the effects of those extra pounds 24/7. Some of the victories
people experience have little to do directly with weight or health. Here are
some of the other benefits of losing weight that aren’t directly connected to
health.
- You can get back to the clothes you’ve been hanging on to saying “Some Day I will fit in that again!”; or better yet, you are able to buy a new sleeker wardrobe!
- You feel better because you look better. When looking in the mirror gives you a good feeling, that can stay with you for the whole day. It provides you extra pep in your step!
- You can do many things that you may have avoided doing when you were carrying excess weight. This could include dancing, going to the beach, playing sports, and much more.
- You can get back some of your confidence. Whether you’re asking your boss for a raise or trying to get a date with someone new, confidence helps. Confidence is closely connected to self-image. The better you feel about yourself, the easier it is to put yourself out there, meet new people, and more.
- If you fly on a commercial airline, as many will be doing through the holiday season, you’ll undoubtedly find that the seats are a bit more comfortable.

Here are several examples of non-scale
victories from real NutriMost patients at Vibrant Life Health Center.
Paige wanted to do a photo shoot in a French dress she
hadn’t been able to wear in years. After NutriMost, she did the shoot in the
dress, and she looked fantastic.
Chelsea was having some serious health
problems
when she came to Vibrant Life. She wanted to get back to her pre-marriage
weight before going to her high school reunion. With NutriMost, she was able to
do that.
Willie is an ex-Marine, and now
he’s a football coach. He had some diabetic issues, and at the end of the program
that was resolved. He felt like he could give his players 100 percent again.
He’s been maintaining a healthy weight for 18 months, plus he’s off the
medications he was taking.
Another patient started NutriMost in her
80s.
She plays golf, and she thought that losing weight would help her to improve
her game. It’s never too late to lose some of the weight!
Sharon lost weight, but she also lost
her pain. “For
me, the NutriMost program wasn’t just about weight loss. It was also about pain
relief. I’ve had pain for thirty-five years. I had inflammation and arthritis.
I’m retired now, but during the last year that I worked, I wore braces on both
ankles. I was also on strong painkillers that are harmful to the kidneys. I no
longer wear ankle braces, and I no longer take pain medications. In the past
two years, the only thing I have taken has been two ibuprofens.”
NutriMost is different from other
programs in four important ways:
- Individualized customized approach to weight loss. NutriMost is not a one size fits all program.
- 2800 factors related to fat metabolism are evaluated and addressed. NutriMost takes into account all of the factors that have an impact on metabolism.
- The meals consist of healthy foods that people get at grocery stores, not shakes or food out of boxes.
- There’s a focus on overall wellness, not just the numbers on the scale.

If you get started soon, you can weigh
substantially less by January. On New Year’s Eve, while other people look with
regret at their expanding waistlines due to overindulging through the holiday
season, you’ll be able to reflect on a season during which you truly did give
yourself a gift that will keep on giving.
Instead of making a resolution to lose
weight, you could be making a resolution to learn how to surf. Wouldn’t that be
a great feeling? If you want to lose twenty pounds or more by January, call
today to set up an appointment and get started on a new way of life.
