Why
read the label?
Read
the label to help to help choose foods that make up a healthful
diet. Eating a healthful diet can help reduce you risk factors
for some diseases. For example, too much saturated fat and
cholesterol can raise blood cholesterol (a risk factor for
heart disease). Too much sodium may be linked to high blood
pressure. High blood pressure is a risk factor for heart attack
and stroke.

Testimonial:
Lose-it
has changed my life! I have found a wonderful nutritional
product program. For two years my blood pressure was 140/90
and sometimes higher. I was also taking water pills. After
taking Lose-it, my blood pressure is now 130/84 and I don't
need my water pills anymore. I also lowered my cholesterol
31 points in two months from 251 to 220. I was also tired
and sleepy all the time, but not any more - it's changed my
life.

Testimonial:
At
last I've found a way to lose weight and not gain! All
my life has been a battle of weight gain and loss. You know,
lose 20 pounds, gain 25. I got so desperate eight years ago
that I had my stomach stapled. I lost 101 pounds, but, alas,
I gained back 70.
I decided I didn't have anything to lose by trying the NANCI
shakes. Was I ever surprised to see my weight going down and
feeling so good at the same time. I lost 42 pounds in three
months and have kept it off for over a year now. At last I've
found a way to lose weight and not gain. My cholesterol has
also gone down from 224 to 144. Ask me if I LUV NANCI!
N.S., Claremore, OK
