From the USANA Sense’ Support help site:

Hello Everyone,

I believe there is a lot merit to what Freeda wrote.  I don’t believe
the USANA products are a magic bullet, but I do believe when your body
is fed the proper nutrients you will see subtle changes in your health
as well as your skin.

Since Feb 3rd I have been going to our new YMCA 5 days a week, working
out 2 hours on my own and then taking four 50 minute classes.  I get
to the Y at 5 am and leave around 11:30 am.  I have lost 34 pounds,
down to 215 from 249.  What I have noticed is the loose skin around my
belly, chest and arms is slowing tightening up.  This will not happen
without weight lifting.  One value of lifting weights is that the
muscles you develop gives shape and dimension to your body.  Then of
course we all know that muscle houses the mitochondria that are the
little furnaces that burn the food we eat as well as the extra fat we
have gained over the years of excessive eating and very little
exercise. The more muscle we have the more furnaces we have to burn
that extra fat.

This is a slow and long process and for some people there is not
enough time left and surgery makes sense as an answer to the extra
skin that was needed to cover our excessive fat.  Our bodies are
simply a physical structure that we live in and our bodies are rebuilt
every couple of years.  One of the first books I read that state that
fact was written in 1909. This knowledge has be around a long time.
The value of only loosing 1 to 1 1/2 pounds per week is that your body
has the time to tear down and rebuild the physical structure (your
skin) that covered your excessive weight.

I’m 63, soon to be 64 in September and I know that taking the weight
off and building muscle is also taking the years off in appearance as
well as performance.

A healthy body, your number one asset, is a gift from God, but it is
not maintenance free.

Respectfully,

Duane Spears
