Weight Control Program

This Program is NOT a Diet, but it helps you to learn how your body, food and exercise works, in order to reach your goal weight.

Step 1: Determine your current weight. Tip: (always using the same scale and place the scale on the same spot every time you weigh)

Step 2: Determine what weight you need to be – Ideal weight (consider body frame, age and gender) with the Manna Ideal Body Weight Tables.

Step 3: Calculate how much weight you need to lose. Take your current weight, subtract your Ideal weight.

Example: If you weight 100 Kg’s and you need to weigh 80 Kg’s the sum will be 20 Kg’s. Thus you need to lose 20 Kilogram.

Step 4: Plot your own reasonable time frame to lose the excess weight. (If you fail to plan, you plan to fail)

Example: If you have 20 Kg’s to lose, divide the weight by 0,5. The result will be 40 weeks. This will give you ample time with benchmarks along the way to keep you on track.

If you want to lose the 20Kg’s in a shorter period of time, don’t try to make the period shorter than 20 weeks (1 Kg / week) otherwise your body might rebel against the sudden weight loss and go on a strike. Permanent weight loss has to be slow.

(we will keep you motivated so that you don’t lose faith)
