How to Keep Trim During the Holiday Season
It‘s possible to enjoy the holidays and begin the New Year healthier and guilt-free. |
This is the time of year that dieters dread. In fact, studies show Americans gain as much as 10 pounds over the holidays. Too often, we use the holidays as an excuse to over-indulge, telling ourselves we'll lose the weight in the New Year.
Even by eating just 200 extra calories a day—a piece of pecan pie and a tumbler of eggnog here, a couple latkes and some butter cookies there—you could pack on two to three pounds in the next month. That doesn’t sound like much, except few people shed that extra weight in the following months and years.
You don’t need to deprive yourself, eat only boring foods, or take your treats with a side order of guilt. Instead, by practicing a bit of defensive eating and cooking, you can come through the holidays without making “go on a diet” one of your New Year’s resolutions.
Try these healthy tips: |
-
-
-
Don’t go out on an empty tank. Before setting out for a party, eat something so you don’t arrive famished. Excellent pre-party snacks combine complex carbohydrates with protein and unsaturated fat, like a healthy Lean Complete™ shake.
-
-
Budget wisely. Don’t eat everything at feasts and parties. Be choosy, and spend calories judiciously on the foods you love.
-
Take 10 before taking seconds. It takes a few minutes for your stomach’s “I’m getting full” signal to get to your brain. After finishing your first helping, take a 10-minute break. Make conversation.
-
Drink some water. Then recheck your appetite. You might realize you are full, or want only a small portion of seconds.
-
Distance helps the heart stay healthy. At a party, don’t stand next to the food table. That makes it harder to mindlessly reach for food as you talk. If you know you are prone to recreational eating, pop a mint or a stick of gum into your mouth so you won’t keep reaching for the chips.
-
Put on your dancing (or walking) shoes. Dancing is a great way to work off some holiday calories. If you are at a family gathering, suggest a walk before the feast or even between dinner and dessert.
-
Make room for veggies. At meals and parties, don’t ignore fruits and vegetables. They make great snacks and even better side or main dishes — unless they’re slathered with creamy sauces or butter.
-
Be buffet savvy. At a buffet, wander around the food table before putting anything on your plate. By checking out all of your options, you might be less inclined to pile on items one after another.
-
Don’t shop hungry. Eat before you go shopping so the scent of Cinnabons® or caramel corn doesn’t tempt you to gobble treats you don’t need.
|
With so much temptation during the holidays, it’s important to ask family, friends and co-workers for support. Don't be afraid to tell others of your commitment to improving your health.
Unicity has made a science out of weight loss and the results are safe, powerful products that work with chemical processes throughout your body to help you burn stored fat, feel less hungry, and lose weight!

Unicity Launches Four Reformulated and Improved Women’s Products
Improved to support healthy hormonal balance and function. |
Unicity announces the launch of four natural remedies designed to support healthy hormonal function in order to let women regain their bodies’ natural balance without dangerous side effects.
The severity of hormonal problems may increase with age, but it is not aging that is the cause of hormonal imbalance. Female hormonal health is not just related to menstruation and menopause—it’s a matter of lifelong well-being—including diet, exercise, stress factors, genetic influences, and more.
Unicity has developed a better, safer way: |
 |
 |
EstroEnhance
A blend of herbal extracts that provide phyto-estrogens and increase the sensitivity of estrogen sensitive tissues.
|
|
 |
TestoEnhance
A blend of herbal extracts that boost the production of testosterone naturally and increases the sensitivity of testosterone sensitive tissues.
|
|
 |
AndroSoothe
A blend of herbal extracts that reduces the sensitivity of testosterone sensitive tissues.
|
|
 |
ProgestoEnhance
A blend of herbal extracts that provide phyto-progesterons and increases the sensitivity of the tissues for optimal progesterone response.
|
|
Hormonal needs change over time. You may need regular use of one of these products, a blend of two, or after a while, need to change to another of the products.
Dr. Peter Verdegem, Unicity Chief Science Officer, and Lori Finlay Hamilton, Unicity Medical Advisory Board member and board certified Adult Nurse Practitioner, are conducting a series of conference calls discussing women’s hormonal issues and explaining the needs and uses of each of these products. |

Stress-Free Holiday Shopping
Take a break from crowded malls and long lines! |
It’s that time of year when you’re frantically running from store to store in search of the perfect gift for family and friends. Why not give yourself a gift and take a break from crowded malls and long lines?
Take the hassle out of holiday shopping by ordering gift bags of Be™ Hair products and having them delivered right to your door. Choose from two luxurious Be Hair organza gift bag combinations:
Be Hair Hydrating Shampoo
This winter, dry and brittle hair thirsts for more moisture. Be Hair Hydrating Shampoo is a gentle, creamy wash that bathes hair in rich moisture while making it stronger. Exclusive SoyActiv™ Nutrition, a protein extract from soybeans, nourishes and fortifies delicate hair strands, while humectant honey and an abundance of nutrient-rich, pure plant and botanical extracts help overstressed hair retain moisture. Gently cleanses without stripping. Hair feels luxuriously soft, silky, and smooth.
Be Hair Shower Comb
Great for combing out loose hair and combing in conditioner during or after showering. Innovative handle for easy grip and for hanging in your shower.
And your choice of:
Be Hair Weightless Conditioner
Heavy conditioners can leave your hair limp and unmanageable. Using pure, whole-leaf aloe juice, which is abundant in vitamins, minerals, proteins, and enzymes, Be Hair Weightless Conditioner imparts a precise amount of moisture without weighing down your hair. Plus, exclusive SoyActiv Nutrition fortifies against abuse. Adding light body and detangling, Weightless Conditioner is the perfect everyday partner to shampoo.
or…
Be Hair Intense Reconstructor
From brushing to daily environment exposure, your hair is constantly subjected to distress. Be Hair Intense Reconstructor provides deep-penetrating moisture, nourishment, and restructuring to dry or damaged hair. This intensive balm includes SoyActiv Nutrition to strengthen hair and fortify against future damage. Nutrient-rich avocado extract bestows deep-penetrating moisture, helping hair strands glide effortlessly against each other. Sunflower seed extract helps safeguard against UV fading. Hair feels and looks incredibly soft, shiny, and healthy-looking.
Order now through December 21, or while supplies last!

Prepare Today for Stormy Weather—
Winter’s Severe Weather Outlook Forecast’s Bad Hair Days Ahead
Make tress-distress a thing of the past with some help from Be™ Hair. |
Get a good cut. Prevent bad hair days in the first place. It’s the cut that counts, so get one that suits your hair type, face shape, and lifestyle. Remove dry or split ends with a trim every six to eight weeks. 
Use the right shampoo and conditioner. Your hair products can make or break a bad hair day. Good thing Be Hair is here to help you cope with the specific needs of different hair types. Dry, brittle hair? Try Hydrating Shampoo, which offers humectant-rich honey and an abundance of nutrient-rich, pure plant and botanical extracts that help overstressed hair retain moisture. Limp, fine hair? Use Volumizing Shampoo—its energizing wild cherry bark and quillaia extracts transform limp, lifeless hair into thicker, fuller tresses.
Banish build-up. Residue is one of the major culprits of bad hair days. Make sure that you have Be Hair Purifying Shampoo on hand. Its cleansing herbal vinegar rids hair of excess oil, dulling buildup, and mineral deposits, while regulating scalp oil production. Leaves hair exceptionally clean and fresh with bounce and shine.
Give your hair some life. If dull, limp hair is your problem, treat yourself to Be Hair conditioners and try a final rinse in cold water to flatten the cuticles and boost shine. Weightless Conditioner offers you pure, whole-leaf aloe extract, abundant in vitamins, minerals, proteins, and enzymes that impart the right amount of moisture to your hair without weighing it down.
Fight the frizz. Try Intense Reconstructor twice a week. This intensely rich formula contains nutrient-packed avocado extract for deep-penetrating moisture. In addition, don’t handle your hair too much—avoid using a hairbrush. Use a wide-toothed comb or use your fingers to separate curls for a more defined style.
Avoid bed head. You can avoid waking up with bed head hair by sleeping on a satin pillowcase. Satin fabric allows your hair to gently side across it as opposed to cotton that causes more friction.
Apply some finishing touches. If you want head-turning hair, don’t overlook the difference a few essential styling products can make. Used solo or combined, Be Hair Stylers help you create your unique look. Be Hair Shaping Foam uses meadowfoam seed oil to condition and impart shine. This weightless mousse increases volume, bounce, and lasting control. Sculpting Gel contains shine-enhancing yarrow flower extract, which lets you mold your style without compromising your hair with dulling alcohols. Finally, Alcohol-Free Finishing Spray has raspberry extract to add shine as this fast-drying, non-sticky formula captures your style with natural hold.

The Bios Life Preferred Customer Program—
The Simple Tool That Turns Customers into Loyal Fans
The fastest, most profitable way to grow your customer base and expand your franchise
If there was an easy way to increase your sales by 50% without adding much more effort than you’re currently putting into building your Franchise, would you be interested?
Of course you would—who wouldn’t be interested?
But before we tell you how to do just that, take a moment and think about the most important component to your Franchise. Is it brochures? Is it a newsletter? Is it a polished sales presentation? These things are important, but the most important component to your Franchise is… your customers! Without customers you don’t have a Franchise—you have a hobby. And you certainly don’t have a commissions check! |
Acquiring new customers is an essential activity for your Franchise. But there’s another, more important activity that actually takes less energy, time, effort, and is definitely more profitable. That activity is keeping the customers you acquire. Consider this, research shows that: |
• |
Repeat customers spend 33% more than new customers—that’s money and PV that goes directly to you! |
• |
Referrals among repeat customers are 107% greater than non-customers—they actually help you build your customer base! |
|
|
|
 |
There’s a Reason it’s Called “Relationship” Marketing
While a growing Franchise needs to constantly capture new customers, the focus and priority should be on pleasing your existing customer base. Franchises that fail to nurture and retain their customer base don’t do very well. You’ll also spend twice as much time and energy to get new clients as you will in maintaining your existing customer base. And think of this: You will also be limited in your ability to attract new customers if you can't hold onto and satisfy your existing customers.
The bottom line is that one of the key components in Franchise growth is to spend the majority of your time and effort nurturing customer relationships, so that you get business from existing clients and customers.
So how do your go about creating relationships and repeat customers? Glad you asked. |
 |
What Makes a Customer a Repeat Customer? |
| Loyal Bios Life customers have three things in common: |
| • |
They consider you, the Franchise Owner, not as an actual “sales” person. Instead, they feel that you’re actually concerned about their health and the health of their family. They look to you as an advisor with their best interests in mind. |
| • |
They have complete confidence in the health benefits of Bios Life. |
| • |
They admire and trust Unicity’s ongoing dedication to medical science research and development. |
That’s not as tall an order as it sounds—and here’s why: We’re here to help. The fastest and easiest way to turn your customer into a loyal, repeat customer is to enroll them in the Bios Life Preferred Customer Program.

An Important Word About Auto-Refill
Enrolling your customer in the Bios Life Preferred Customer Program does not automatically enroll them in the Auto-Refill (the new name for EasyShip) Program. The cost of the Preferred Customer Program is $14.95; however, the fee is waived for customers who choose to receive their Bios Life through the Auto-Refill Program.
It's important for your customers to understand that, in order to enjoy the full range of health benefits offered by Bios Life, they need to use the product every day.
For example, when a doctor prescribes a statin drug for treating high cholesterol, he doesn’t just prescribe a 30-day supply. If his patient succeeds in lowering his cholesterol with that statin drug and then he stops taking drug, his cholesterol will go right back up.
People need to clearly understand that our product will only provide lasting benefits if it is used daily.
|
How do you Sign Them Up? |
Enroll Your Customer Online at Bioslife.com.
Customers can enroll in the Preferred Customer and Auto-Refill programs online at www.bioslife.com. While many customers can set themselves up online, it is always better if you do it for them. Anything you can do to simplify the process for your customers will increase your success rate. |
"Three-Way" Your Customer into Unicity
After your customer has agreed to enroll in the Preferred Customer Program, you can use three-way calling and connect them with the Customer Care Center. |
When choosing this option, explain to the customer service rep that you are on the phone with your customer who would like to enroll them in the Preferred Customer Program and begin using Bios Life through our Auto-refill program. |
|
|
 |
When you set up a new customer on Auto-Refill, you and your customer both benefit.
• |
Your customer benefits because they'll receive Bios Life each month without the hassle of re-ordering. Preferred Customers further benefit by receiving a 15% discount off retail and FREE shipping. |
• |
You benefit because you will be more successful in helping your customer have a positive experience and you earn a residual income from each month’s shipment. |
|
Assure your customers that, if they want to cancel their monthly shipments of Bios Life, all they need to do is to call you and you will be happy to immediately stop it on their behalf. Make it sound easy so they feel comfortable. Also let them know that they can call Unicity at 1-888-BIOSLIFE and cancel it at any time.
When enrolling customers in the Auto-Refill program make sure they understand that they will receive a product shipment each month and that their credit card will be charged with each shipment. |
