RESET™ is the answer to reducing carbohydrate cravings without feeling famished.
The glycemic index is the key to controlling your cravings
It isn't necessary to starve yourself to lose weight. In fact, consistently eating
less than 1,000 calories a day may actually slow down your metabolism and make
it harder to lose weight. You do, however, need to make smarter choices about
what you eat.
When you eat high-glycemic foods it can cause your body's blood glucose levels
to quickly spike and then crash, leading to feelings of hunger sooner and seemingly
uncontrollable cravings.
A better choice is to eat low-glycemic foods which keep blood glucose levels
more stable, helping to reduce carbohydrate cravings, leave you feeling satisfied
longer, and control your appetite more easily. All of USANA's Macro-Optimizers
are clinically tested and guaranteed to be low glycemic, and nearly 95 percent
of RESET participants report significantly reduced carbohydrate cravings after
completing the five days.

Don't get too hungry; eat all of your meals & snacks

RESET will help you achieve your ideal weight.
High-glycemic foods and weight gain
After years of continually abusing their bodies through sedentary habits and
eating an improper diet of high-glycemic foods that spike their blood glucose
levels, many people find it becomes harder and harder for them to lose extra pounds
and maintain a healthy weight. A poor lifestyle can cause your body to over-stimulate
the release of insulin--the body's storage hormone. In essence, if you keep overeating
sugar and high-glycemic carbohydrates, you will be more likely to gain weight.
A nutritionally complete solution to weight loss
RESET is a commonsense approach to nutrition that includes low-glycemic carbohydrates
packed with soluble and insoluble fiber, low-fat sources of protein, and beneficial
fats. And by eating small, low-calorie meals frequently throughout the day, you
will create a caloric deficit without going hungry, making it easier for you to
lose weight.
Always eat breakfast. People who skip breakfast end up eating more calories during
the day.
Don't eat after 8:30 in the evening
Give yourself non-food rewards
Remember that weight loss can reduce the likelihood of developing obesity-related
diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease

Allow yourself small indulgences
Can I drink diet soda (or other non-caloric beverages) while using RESET?
Yes, in moderation, as long as it does not stimulate your appetite and you are
still able to drink the amount of water recommended during RESET.
Can I drink coffee or tea?
Yes, as long as it does not contribute additional calories to your daily intake
(meaning no sugar or cream) and you drink the required amount of water.
Can I mix the shakes with skim milk or soymilk instead of water?
During RESET, it is recommended that you mix the shakes with water. Milk or soymilk
will increase the caloric level by 250-300 calories per day.
I usually work out for longer periods of time than you recommend. Can I continue
with my current exercise routine?
It is strongly discouraged. RESET does not provide enough calories to support
prolonged or strenuous exercise.
How often can I repeat RESET?
You may use RESET once every three months to recommit to your new lifestyle.
Keep in mind that the purpose of RESET is to help you change your unhealthy eating
habits. After you complete the five days, you may choose the Transform or Maintain
follow up program, depending on your health and weight loss goals.
Can diabetics follow RESET?
If you have diabetes, we suggest that you consult your physician to determine
if this program is appropriate for you. Keep in mind that these are food products
that should be treated like any other healthy food. In general, most diabetics
are able to follow RESET, depending on how they are currently managing their diabetes.
In some cases, it may be necessary to monitor blood glucose levels more regularly,
especially if there is a significant change in carbohydrate intake.
Can children follow RESET?
No. The caloric level of RESET is not sufficient to support normal growth and
development in children. Children under the age of 18 should not participate in
the program unless directed by their physician.
Can I follow RESET if I am taking medication or have a health condition?
We suggest you consult your physician before beginning RESET if you are taking
medication, have a specific health condition, or are on a diet specific to certain
medical conditions.
Can pregnant and lactating women follow RESET?
No. The caloric level of RESET is not sufficient to support normal fetal growth
and development during pregnancy or breast milk production in lactating women.
Pregnant or lactating women should not participate in the program unless directed
by their physician.
What if I mess up, what should I do?
If you can't resist the cravings and end up eating or drinking something that
is not on the RESET program, there's no need to give up or start over. Just start
where you left off and move forward.
*It is suggested that you take these products to your physician and secure his
or her advice if you intend to change your diet, begin an exercise program, are
pregnant, lactating, have allergies, are taking medications, or are under the
care of a physician. The components of the USANA Reset: 5-Day High-Fiber Cleanse
are FOOD, not DRUGS.
As with any health or fitness program, a sensible eating plan and regular exercise
are required in order to achieve long-term weight loss results. Results will vary.
