the philosophy
this is not a diet programme but a permanent change in lifestyle

Forget about “dieting” for a moment:
The Annique Lifestyle Programme is not a diet programme – it has to become your lifetime nutritional philosophy, focusing on the consumption of nutrient-dense, unprocessed foods and vita-nutrient supplementation. This new habit will restrict processed/refined carbohydrates (which make up over 50% of many people’s diets), such as high-sugar foods, breads, pasta, cereal, and starchy vegetables. Vita-nutrient supplementation includes a full- spectrum multi-vitamin, and essential oils/fatty acids combined with antioxidants.

Weight problems, diabetes II and appetite control:
Diabetes type II has become an international epidemic. Diets high in sugar and refined carbohydrates like bread, pasta, cereal, and other mainly “low-fat”, processed foods, increase your body’s production of insulin.
When insulin is at high levels in the body, the food you eat can be readily converted into body fat, in the form of triglyceride (to top it off, high triglyceride levels in the body are one of the greatest risk factors for heart disease/cholesterol).
Even worse, high carbohydrate meals tend to leave you less satisfied than meals containingadequate fat levels; so you eat more and feel hungrier sooner.

What should you do?
Get off the “insulin generating” roller coaster of the low-fat diet and cut down on your carbohydrate consumption.

What happens to your body when you cut back on carbohydrates?
You’ll start to burn fat for energy:
If carbohydrates are the body’s primary energy source, it will rarely use its secondary energy source, body fat, for energy unless carbohydrate consumption is restricted.

You won’t feel hungry in between meals:
By cutting the carbs, you’ll maintain a more even blood sugar level throughout the day. No more false hunger pains or mid-afternoon “brain drains”.

Your overall health will improve:
Many of the toxins you take in are stored in your fat cells. By getting your body to burn stored fat, you allow it to clean itself out [initial detox symptoms are unavoidable].
Combined with the benefits of stable blood sugar, the end result is that many common ailments you may have been experiencing could be alleviated.
Fatigue, irritability, depression, headaches, and even many forms of joint and muscular pain simply disappear. All this leads to better health and complete well-being — something all of us strive to bring into our lives.

In modern times, the detrimental combination of low physical activity, hypercaloric intake, and over consumption of neocarbs is at the root of our obesity crisis. A return to an evolutionary based diet - lean meats, seafood, fish, vegetables, fruits, (raw) nuts and seeds, moderate physical activity, and adding all the essential vitamins, minerals, and herbs of primitive man, will ultimately be the cure.
