Wanda's Success Story

My name is Wanda Johnson. I'm 63 years old and I'm so excited to share with you the progress I've made by following the Body by Lu program. I met Georgia Palmer and began the program in September 2010. To date (January 2011) I've lost 35 pounds and 6 1/2 % body fat. I love the Melaleuca products, particularly the Attain shakes, Access pre- workout bars and the Proflex products. It is great having a day off each week which allows flexibility and really makes this program "doable". Because this program is working so well for me, it keeps me motivated because I'm seeing success. I have more energy now than I have had in years. I'm truly "building a body to last a lifetime." Being 35 pounds lighter feels awesome! Feels great! Looking good!

Steel Cut Oats

I have never been a fan of sticky, gooey oatmeal, so when I discovered Steel Cut Oats, and it's nutty chewy consistency I was thrilled. As far as I can tell it has all the reasons to eat oatmeal once a day, and more. Because the oats are chopped instead of heated and rolled, some believe it retains a bit more of it's nutritional value. Best of all, I like it, and look forward to a bowl, either at breakfast, or as one of my daily snacks. Because of their minimal processing Steel Cut Oats take a bit longer to prepare. I boil 1 part oats to 3 parts water with a dash of sea salt, for 20 mins. I save time by cooking a pot once a week, and storing it in an air tight container in the fridge. I buy the oats in bulk at the health food store. Pre-packaged at the grocery store seemed expensive.

1/4 c. cooked oats

1/4 c. frozen blueberries

Place in a bowl, cover and microwave for 1-2 min.

Steel Cut Oats 1/4 c. cooked = about 150 calories; 5g. protein; 27g. carbs; 5g. fiber (remember to subtract fiber from carb to give you 22 g. of usable carbs).

I recommend eating your oatmeal with with protein, such as 3 egg whites, vanilla proflex shake, or CARBmaster yogurt
