Eating a combination of proteins, fats and carbs every three hours is the ‘new black’ in weight management, with this week’s launch of ZEN Project 8 by anti-ageing and wellness brand, Jeunesse Global Australia.
Developed by renowned US nutrition and fitness expert Mark Macdonald in an exclusive partnership with Jeunesse Global Australia, the eight week, three phase program aids in weight management based on a combination of protein, fat and carbohydrates every three hours to restore a hormonal balance in the body.
Mr Macdonald said the program aims to break the calorie counting cycle using basic physiology.
“People want to get healthier, and they want something that can fit into their lifestyle, but many are doing more harm than good with their choices. There are so many options on the market but obesity levels continue to rise, which is why it was important for me to develop a program for Jeunesse that introduced positive nutritional values back into weight management,” he said.
“To balance blood sugar levels, protect muscle, and trigger your body to consistently release stored fat, we need to move on from the tired, broken ‘calories in, calories out’ approach and instead restore a hormonal balance with protein, fat and carbs every three hours – I call it PFC Every 3.”
The program’s PFC Every 3 approach aims to positively affect the blood sugar hormone glucagon with protein, positively affect the blood sugar hormone insulin with carbohydrates, and slow down the rate of digestion by inhibiting the release of HCL with the right kind of fats.
The program includes a workout calendar, clean eating guide and suggested meal plans to accompany the ZEN Fuze shakes and averages $2.80 - $4.00 per serve with a 28-day supply costing $79.95 wholesale, or $113.93 RRP.
ZEN Project 8 expands on the nutrition and anti-ageing products available online or through one of Jeunesse Global Australia’s 38,000 distributors.
