Some
Helpful Tips from Lisa Shaker Knopp from Valrico, FL

Business Builder of the Year.
-
All drinks and soups should be
mixed with very cold water and then heated if
desired. If you mix them with warm/hot water, they
“clump.” So, first mix them well cold water
and then heat (do not boil!).
-
The Vegetable Chili should be
simmered longer (about 10 – 12 minutes) so the
vegetables and beans are not hard.
-
I think you should add 3 to 3.5
ounces of water to the Maple Oatmeal to make it a
little less thick.
-
I also think the drinks need
more water (except the Cappuccino). I usually
recommend 10 -12 ounces.
-
I find that he Vanilla Pudding
and the Butterscotch Pudding need less water than
the Chocolate Pudding.
Seven
Tips to Consider Before Beginning the Matol Diet
A Personal
Message from Wendi Eeet, Matol's Senior Director of
North American Sales
Weight-loss
and weight related issues have become such an epidemic
that the North American market is flooded with
'"diet solutions." For the consumer it is hard
to know which one to choose. "Don't they all work
to some extent?" The answer is no. Weight loss is
more then just shedding pounds temporarily, quick fixes
and magic pills. It's not just about how you look in
your jeans but how healthy you are on the inside.
The Matol Diet program is designed to correct the root
of the problem internally. It is by no means a quick
fix, though you will see results the first week. The
average weight loss is 3-7 lbs per week and by the end
of our 4-stage program, it's a new you, inside and out.
Because the Matol Diet program is not a quick fix,
anyone considering starting must be committed.
Distributors and Coaches who are sharing the diet must
also give the program the respect it deserves and must
understand that putting someone on the program is a
commitment as well.
Here are some tips that I believe are an important part
of being successful on the Matol Diet.
1. Understand the
Matol Diet program in its entirety.
This means that you should
know by what mechanism you lose weight on the diet. We
only accept what we understand. Not understanding will
put the Matol Diet in the same category as all of the
others. And we are not like all of the others. You'll
understand that cheating (even if you still see weight
loss) will hurt your overall progress. You can't cheat
physiology. The pancreas needs its rest and cheating, by
the way, sets you back three days, wasting your time and
money.
2. Be prepared!
Make sure that you have the
right groceries in the house. Good vegetables, salads, a
dressing that you love but that is legal and all the
right meats. And if you have to (just in the beginning),
get rid of all of the things that will tempt you as they
will only make it harder for you to stay on track.
3. Plan your meals
each week.
I know how impossible this
may seem to just about everyone with a hectic schedule.
Things come up and plans change. For those same reasons,
if you have planned what you should be eating that
night, if you're running late and have to make something
quick, the choice between grabbing something you
shouldn't eat and having something already waiting for
you will be easier. Even if you have to go out, there is
always something you can eat off almost any menu. It
might not be the food you would have chosen before you
got on the program, but you'll still be able to join the
social gathering.
4. Have a support
system in place.
Ideally your Sponsor (or
somewhere in your upline) should be a Certified Matol
Diet Consultant and your Coach. You need to have someone
that will follow and encourage you and make you
accountable. If you do not have a Coach, adjust your
schedule to join the Thursday night Matol Diet Support
Call. You must be accountable to someone.
5. Fill out your
"Daily Meal Planner" form or "My Daily
Journal" each and every week.
You can print the
"Daily Meal Planner" form off our website or
use the one you receive when you order the VibrantU
Pack. There are many reasons why you must keep track of
what you are consuming in a week; it helps us track a
lot of things while you are on the diet. For example, if
one week you have not lost weight and "swear"
it is not from cheating, the only way your coach, or
upline or anyone can figure out what's wrong is by
looking at what you ate during the week. Sometimes we
can identify a "hidden" cheat that you thought
was okay. And of course, it keeps you on track with your
supplements, salt, water and food consumption. It's easy
to forget otherwise.
6. Place your first
order wisely.
First, be prepared to buy
the VibrantU Pack. It is the most cost efficient way to
purchase the Matol Diet. You receive an extra $10.00 off
the pack and you get a free bottle of Matol®/Km®. When
you invest that kind of money up front, you won't want
to waste it.
Also, you'll have all your supplements which are not
optional. They are included in the program because
during the diet we don't eat dairy, whole grains or
fruits. If you do not supplement, you can get sick. Not
to mention, the supplements will help keep you energized
and keep your healthy bowel movements flowing.
With the food packets themselves, since you do not know
which ones will be your favorite, stick with foods that
you already like. Save the experimenting for later. For
example, I like to chew. So even though the Peach Mango
and Cocoa Drink are Matol's top sellers, I knew they
wouldn't work for me. I chose things I already liked
(flavor wise) and varieties that I already liked. I love
butterscotch therefore I chose the pudding. I can't
stand yogurt, so even if the Yogurt and Fieldberry Drink
is delicious, and that's the feedback we get, I didn't
choose it.
Even with being careful with your food choices, you
still may get a box of food and not love the taste.
Maybe our Cappuccino Drink doesn't taste like
"Starbucks" but don't discount it right away.
It will take your taste buds a while to get used to
eating foods that are good for your body. Remember that
the packets do not contain a magic formula that make you
shrink. They are not appetite suppressants, they do,
however, contain 9 essential amino acids and up to 20
grams of protein isolates. That's pretty good.
7. Be ready mentally.
Make sure you are clear on
why you are starting the Matol Diet. Have you been
feeling depressed about your weight, is it slowing you
down, are you developing other health related issues?
Whatever your reason, be clear in your own mind. Don't
feel pressured into it by anyone else but yourself. If
you are not mentally ready, you won't succeed because
you won't want to follow the program and make the
necessary changes.

LOSE
WEIGHT ONCE AND KEEP IT OFF WITH THE MATOL DIET!
Most dieters spend
half their lives dieting.
They start a new diet and a month later they give up.
6 months later they try again and give up again.
And so it goes on,
month after month, year after year with no success! Are
you tired of all this? Do you need to spend your whole
life dieting?
Do it once and do
it properly with the
Matol Diet and get on with enjoying your life!
TIPS
& ADVICE
 To
help alleviate cravings and hunger, drink a large glass
of water or consume a Matol Diet instant packet.
It is very important that you do not skip any meals and
also remember your evening Matol Diet instant packet.
Strict adherence to the plan will manage hunger symptoms
in a few days.
When starting the
Matol Diet, some people may experience constipation.
Eating more cooked vegetables and increasing water
intake will alleviate this condition. Some people may
experience mild headaches, dizziness, fatigue or muscle
cramps due to insufficient intake of salt and/or
potassium. It is recommended that you follow the
plan strictly to avoid any discomfort.
Never let
yourself go hungry. If you do, you'll reach for
something that is unhealthy and makes you gain weight.
 When
you get bored do something about it! Go for a
walk with family or friends. When you’re
bored you tend to eat more!
Set reasonable weight
loss goals and stick to them. When you start reaching
your goals, you'll see that the Matol Diet works. This
will help you reach the next level. It will pay off once
you have reached your total weight loss goal. You will
feel confident, look and feel healthier and be glad you
did not waiver from your goals!
You will experience
quick results and surprise yourself!
Learn to “Just say
no!” When tempted with unhealthy food, you should be
firm and confident and politely decline. It will
get easier once you see the benefits of sticking to the
diet plan!
 Take
a before picture and stick it on your fridge.
This will help motivate you and you will think twice
when you reach for the ice cream.

The
Cocoa Drink can be enjoyed either hot or cold.
Just add one
packet into 200 ml (6.5 oz.) of very hot water
(not boiling) or cold water. If you prefer it
hot, do not shake the drink in a shaker as the
hot water may spill on you. Simply stir the
drink with a fork.
Always
have some Chocolate and Butterscotch Pudding on
hand.
It is a good
idea to have some pudding pre-prepared. It can
last up to 3 days when it is sealed and in the
fridge. You can use it as stuffing in a rolled
up Orange Pancake or as icing on the Chocolate
Cake or muffins that you make. It’s a healthy
and delicious topping and remember that protein
will never transform into fat.
Orange
Pancake
Remember to
always use a non stick frying pan. Be sure to
let it cook long enough before you flip it over
so it won’t stick to the pan. Also you can
experiment a little bit with the texture. Put
more or less water depending on the texture you
desire.
