First of all, it is completely normal to gain a pound or so from one day to the next when you are dieting. We do not recommend that you weigh each day. Abrupt changes from one day to the next are almost always caused by water, so don’t worry.
Occasionally, during a long period of weight loss, the body will hold onto its fat for a week or two and weight loss will slow or stop. This is what we call a plateau. During a plateau phase, do not stop taking your supplements. Stopping your supplements will cause the body to go into a starvation phase and it will be even harder to begin losing weight again. We recommend that you increase exercise moderately during a plateau and not worry. Your body will stop holding onto the fat after a short time, and you will start losing weight again rapidly and safely.

You should not drink alcohol while on a diet. Alcohol will slow your weight loss down dramatically. Alcohol is high in calories and these calories are absolutely the worst kind you can get while dieting. If you are dieting and on a low carb diet, and low fat diet, then the last thing you want to do is erase all your effort by drinking hollow calories.

We recommend that you limit your coffee intake to two or three cups per day. Caffeine causes a release of adrenaline in your body and may cause changes in your blood sugar levels. You can use low-fat milk or half-and-half in your coffee, and we recommend no-calorie sweeteners.

Ketosis is a natural metabolic state your body attains when faced with a low caloric intake and with an adequate protein supply. The body metabolizes fat for gluconeogenisis (energy) and the byproducts of the fat metabolism are ketones. Ketones are not harmful to your body. In fact, the brain works well on ketones.

The Glycemix Index is a measurement developed several years ago to describe the degree to which a particular food raises your blood sugar. It was originally thought that foods such as simple table sugar had a very high Glycemic Index and raised your blood sugar to high levels after you ate it. This was later found to be untrue and foods such as baked potatoes were found to have a much higher Glycemic Index. Diabetics should be especially interested in controlling their blood sugar through proper diet.

We recommend that you take in five to six 8oz glasses of water each day while on the Arizona Diet Products program. Water flushes your system of metabolic byproducts while dieting and will help you feel much better while losing weight.
