This Battle is not yours alone
You are not alone in this battle. An estimated 300,000 obesity-related deaths occur annually in the U.S. alone. The estimated costs attributed to overweight and obesity (directly and indirectly) amounted to $117 billion for the year 2000.
These estimates should tell you that there are other warriors in the trenches with you. Find one of these warriors and "buddy up" for the fight. Military actions are never performed alone and neither should this battle.
Strengthen your partner and, in turn, draw strength from him or her. Encourage them when they are down. Set goals together. Pray together and lean on one another for support.
This week, find a partner and work together to accomplish a your common goal. Make commitments to one another and hold each other to them.
Enjoy the newsletter and have an Awesome Week!

"We started using Body Balance just this past year. We have never seen anything like it! My husband, our 8-year-old son, and I all use this product every day. We are thrilled with the extra energy and vitality that we have all experienced. Our son has had some health challenges and is doing so much better since we have added Body Balance to his diet. We have recently turned on a lot of friends to the Life Force products, and they keep coming back for more! Thank you Life Force for these fantastic products!"
Sally and Darryl Darling, MO
"I started taking Body Balance immediately after having my second child. She was not a 'sleeper,' so neither was I. I had her late in life and I had just started taking Body Balance consistently throughout the day and throughout the night for the first three months of her life. It was amazing! It gave me consistent energy. I wasn't grumpy, and I didn't go through any kind of emotional challenges that some women do. It really got me through those first few months of her life. It's an amazing product!"

Weekly Fit Tip
When you’re in your own kitchen, you can determine and control the portions of the meals you prepare. Many restaurant entrées, however, contain considerably more than one portion and you typically don’t have control over the size of the meal that arrives on your dinner plate. However, here are some strategies for regaining some of that control…
1. Order a salad or appetizer as your first course. Then order another (healthy) appetizer as your main meal.
2. If you find an entrée on the menu irresistible, ask the waiter to serve you that dish in an appetizer size.
3. Order an entrée, but have the kitchen set aside half of it in a take-home container before serving you the rest.
How the food is prepared and what is included with it is also a concern. The most important point to remember when eating out is that you are the paying customer and you can request the way the food is prepared. Restaurants are in the business of making food taste good, which often means that they will either be high in fat or high in sugar. But they are also in the business of giving their customers what they want. The following is a list of things to tell the waiter to keep the fat, calories, and sugar down to a healthy level…
- Could I have that with white breast meat instead of dark meat, please?
- Could you please ask the chef to go light on the cheese (oil, butter, cream, etc.)?
- Could I have my fish poached (grilled, baked, broiled, etc.) please, and will you add vinegar or lemon juice to it?
- Could I have my baked potato with everything on the side, and could you add a side of vinaigrette and/or salsa please?
- Could I please have my sandwich without cheese and mayonnaise and with tomatoes and mustard instead?
- Can you steam the vegetables without butter, please?
- Would you please make my omelet with "fat-free egg substitute" please, or with only one whole egg and two or three egg whites (instead of 3 whole eggs)?
- Could I have my toast served dry with reduced-sugar jam on the side, please?
- Could I please have a baked potato (soup or salad) instead of French fries?
- Does this dish contain cheese, oil, butter, creamy sauce, or anything else that would increase the fat content?
- Could I substitute marinara sauce for the alfredo sauce, please?
- Could I please have my sweet and sour chicken sautéed or stir-fried rather than deep-fried, please?
- Do you have sugar-free syrup for my pancakes?

"I want to thank you for all of your wonderful products! I had been suffering from foot discomfort for almost 10 years. Since taking the products - and I am sure it is the combination of all of them, but particularly the OsteoProCare - after about three months my feet were perfectly normal. It may also have something to do with the fact that I have lost about 30 pounds using the products. I have not even been trying to diet! I just think that when you get the proper nutrition you don't crave "junk food." I now crave my Body Balance! Life Force has been a great asset to both my physical and my financial health! Thank you for becoming a 'force' in my life!"

"Hi Victoria,
I stumbled up on your Body Revival book last week and I LOVE it ! It is just what I need in my life and it came around at a time when I had just about given up. I am overweight, however I have been exercising for over 3 months and have lost 1 dress size. Also, I am loving the whole idea of exercise. Anyway, I love the faith based aspect of your program because praying is definitely the key in succeeding in any endeavor.
I just ordered your diamond collection video series and I am looking forward to using it.
