Yacon Syrup is an all-natural, organic dietary supplement containing fructo-oligosaccharides known as (FOS), appetite-suppressing inulin, and prebiotics that promote digestive health. Yacon Syrup boosts metabolism and nutrient absorption, and helps to maintain normal blood sugar levels from dropping. Our Yacon Syrup is sustainably sourced from Yacon Root cultivated in Latin America under strict adherence to organic growing standards, leaving it free of potentially harmful pesticide or herbicides. Yacon Syrup is sweet enough to stimulate the taste buds but contains 1/3 the calories of sugar, making it an excellent alternative sweetener. The unique composition of the sugar molecules in FOS makes them indigestible to humans, resulting in lower calorie absorption and glycemic index. Our Yacon Syrup is scientifically formulated to deliver 67% FOS, the most potent currently available. Yacon syrup is not the only form in which people in other countries consume this plant: they also eat its roots. Unlike potatoes, to which the Yacon tuber has been compared, it is safe to eat Yacon raw. Because of its high fiber content, however, those who eat the Yacon raw should eat it in small quantities to avoid digestive problems. Natives of Peru eat the plant itself because of its high nutritional value, low levels of sugar, and low calories. In Brazil, the dried leaves are often used to make Yacon tea. One of the main benefits of the Yacon plant is that it contains high levels of polyphenols. These powerful antioxidants have several health benefits, including supporting protection against damaging free radicals. In addition, when you combine daily intake of Yacon syrup with a regular exercise plan, your weight management results will be even better. Yacon Syrup is a much-needed option among a crowded marketplace where few dietary supplements are all-natural and guaranteed to work. 8 ABUNDANT HEALTH IS IT SAFE? It’s completely understandable to wonder whether Yacon Syrup is safe to use. To date, no serious side effects have been recorded. However, you should consult a physician before starting any new supplements, diets, or exercise programs. If you have allergies, are pregnant, lactating, or breast-feeding, you should avoid taking Yacon Syrup. Please refer to page 2 and consult your doctor for more information if you suspect any of the above may apply to you. DOES IT WORK? The sweet taste of Yacon syrup is often misleading, causing users to fear unwanted weight gain. While the sugars in Yacon syrup are sweet and they stimulate the taste buds, the sugar molecules in FOS are indigestible to humans. The result: they pass through your body and it excretes these sugars without processing them. Your body absorbs the parts that have beneficial nutrients, which aids in healthy weight control and supports your metabolism. 9 ABUNDANT HEALTH WHAT DOES IT DO? Yacon syrup can promote control over your appetite by managing your cravings for food. You feel fuller for a longer time period. This formula leads to boosted metabolism and quicker weight loss results. Aside from these effects, Yacon syrup also stimulates the liver, converting fatty acids into more useful energy. This activity allows you to decrease body fat that’s already stored in the fat cells of the body, even after you decrease your food intake as part of your weight control plan. There are also digestive health benefits; Yacon and FOS are loaded with prebiotic fiber. We know that prebiotics and probiotics are good bacteria for us and fiber helps keep our systems “regular,” detoxing our bodies. Because Yacon syrup supports the body in using minerals and calcium more efficiently, the immune system benefits. 10 ABUNDANT HEALTH WARNING: NOT ALL YACON SYRUP IS CREATED EQUAL Like most other supplements, Yacon Syrup sourcing, ingredients, purity, and formula can vary widely. In a competitive and crowded marketplace, it is unfortunately common for a manufacturer to give in to the temptation to cut corners in one or more of those areas. This results in reduced product quality and potentially increased risk to the consumer. HOW TO SPOT THE BEST YACON SYRUP Don’t let the thousands upon thousands of options available discourage you from adding a powerful tool to your weight loss arsenal. Below we have included a simple “cheat sheet” to help you ensure the product you select is legitimate: Product Label Labels are actually considered legal documents, which means that the seller has to be truthful about what is in the supplement and what it will deliver. The amount of the active ingredient in the product, as well as the fillers, additives, and even the package size can vary dramatically from manufacturer to manufacturer. Read the label carefully, paying particular attention to the servings per container or bottle and whether that translates to an appropriate dosage. 11 ABUNDANT HEALTH Quality Manufacturing Practices Always make sure your supplements are manufactured in cGMP (Certified Good Manufacturing Practices) facilities in the USA. This means they are subjected to stringent manufacturing regulations and are routinely evaluated for compliance. That way, you can rest easy knowing that your supplement contains what the label says it contains. Main Ingredient A supplement must contain adequate amounts of its main ingredient and must not be diluted by useless fillers in order for you to reach your weight-loss goal. Ideally, the formulation of Yacon Syrup should contain at least 50% FOS, but better brands offer 67% FOS. Also look for organic certified Yacon Syrup to make sure its pure and high quality Fillers Beware of marketers promoting higher doses of FOS, and artificial ingredients. They serve no purpose other than to make the product appear to be more or higher quality than it is, causing you to waste money and expose your body to increased amounts of inactive ingredients. Additives Look for pure plant-based ingredients and natural colors, and avoid potentially harmful additives such as the following: Magnesium Stearate 12 ABUNDANT HEALTH Magnesium stearate is formed by adding a magnesium ion to stearic acid. The compound has lubricating properties that prevent capsules from sticking together and allow machinery to run faster and smoother, which is why it’s often used in supplements. Stearic acid suppresses T cells, your natural killer cells and a key component of your immune system. Artificial Colors Artificial colors have no place in a product designed to improve your health. Titanium Dioxide Titanium dioxide has recently been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as an IARC Group 2B carcinogen, which is defined as being “possibly carcinogenic to humans.” Silicon Dioxide Silicon dioxide is an additive to prevent ingredients from sticking together. While it is generally considered safe to use in supplements, it has also been found to affect kidney health. Reputable Vendor Always read the buyer reviews and comments when considering a purchase online. There are many supplement vendors, but not all of them are reputable or stand behind their products. Check if the vendor has a good rating. If you are buying off a site like Amazon, the vendor should have primarily four and five star reviews. Always confirm whether the vendor offers a money back guarantee. Competitive Price Look at the price per bottle of the supplement. If the price seems too good to be true, then it probably is. Offering a month’s supply of Yacon Syrup supplement at a bargain basement price could mean the manufacturer skimped somewhere. That ‘somewhere’ could be in the quantity of the active ingredient in the supplement. Always compare the size of the bottle, the amount of HCA, and the quality of the product’s ingredients when doing a proper price comparison. A quality Yacon Syrup supplement will ideally cost between $15 and $30. Third Party Testing Look for a company that uses a 3rd party testing facility to validate its products. The company should also be willing to show you the certification if you ask to see it. 13 ABUNDANT HEALTH HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE WEIGHT LOSS Our hope is to support you along the journey towards healthy, sustainable weight loss. Weight loss that does not last or that occurs at the cost of your body’s overall health at best a waste of time, and at worst, a mistake that you will pay for with your health later in life. Fad diets may appear to allow you to quickly shed pounds, but in reality, healthy weight loss occurs at rate of 1 to 3 pounds lost per week and will vary by individual. Slashing calories too quickly will send your body into calorie conservation mode by tricking it into believing it is starving. After the initial drop in pounds, largely due to losing water weight and unsustainably reducing calories, you will plateau and ultimately fail to reach your weight loss goals. The other, less obvious danger in engaging in unhealthy dieting strategies is the psychological effect. Frustration, a sense of failure, and fluctuations in mood associated with rapid “yo-yo” weight loss and gain can have a devastating impact on your self esteem and resolve to make healthy changes. So much of weight loss is attributed to the right mindset! It’s also important not to expect “magic” results from a supplement. The best strategy for achieving desirable results is to channel your hopes into motivation to follow the recommendations in this guide. 14 ABUNDANT HEALTH When taking any weight management supplement, it is important to carefully monitor your health and ensure you are losing at an appropriate rate. It is also a good idea to consult with a doctor and other health professionals before starting any kind of weight loss program. Here are some factors to consider and tips to help you on your journey: Eat a Healthy Diet If weight loss is one of your goals while taking Yacon Syrup, some people find that keeping a food journal can help you formulate a healthy diet by making you more aware of what you eat so that you can make better choices. Be mindful of how much and what types of foods you are consuming. What are you eating the most of? What do you need more of? What does that look like? A healthy diet includes fruit, heavy use of vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats, while avoiding processed foods, sugars, and high-calories options. Try to add as many vitamin-rich, non-starchy or fried vegetables as you can to each meal. Things like leafy greens, spinach, kale, cucumber, carrots, beets and are delicious, will full you up, and provide so many benefits. What else is involved? Check in with how you feel before and after you eat, noting these feelings down in your food journal. There is a psychological component to eating where our emotions can be deeply connected to our eating habits and choices. Many people find they reach for sweets when they are stressed or mindlessly snack while they are working or watching TV. By noting your feelings along with your food intake, you will learn to be mindful of the positive and negative associations you experience with food. When you teach yourself to focus on the positive after-effects of eating healthy foods, you can use these associations to fight cravings for unhealthy foods. Similarly, you will deter yourself from eating unhealthy foods by learning to associate them with lowered energy and other negative effective emotional after-effects. Be sure to check with your doctor to make sure if you are reducing calories that this is within 15 ABUNDANT HEALTH a healthy range. Cooking Tips and Tricks Guide to Low Calorie Vegetables The veggies listed below are great to include in your meals to keep you feeling full and add some flavor and texture. These vegetables are low in calories, non-starchy and will keep you on track with your weight control goals. Remember veggies have amazing nutrients; vitamins, minerals, fiber and even some protein, so try to eat at least 5 servings per day. Some of the vegetables listed below have different variations or colors; get creative, try something new and you will not only feel amazing, but also you won’t get bored! 16 ABUNDANT HEALTH Exercise Properly Take advantage of the metabolic boost you receive from the Yacon Syrup and be physically active! You may experience enhanced physical performance, so take advantage of this boost while taking this supplement. If you have never exercised before or if it has been a while, once you have clearance to exercise from your health care providers, a good place to start is with a simple cardio. Cardio Start out by walking or running (depending on your level) 20 minutes per day, 3 times per week. As you progress, increase the time spent walking/running and the number of days until you can consistently move for 35 minutes, 5 times per week. This simple exercise can have phenomenal effects on your heart, mood, sleep, eating patterns, focusing abilities, and weight loss efforts. Strength Training Strength training is another fantastic workout that has many of the same benefits as cardio. You don’t need any equipment or a gym. Start with 20 minutes, 2 times a week and build from there. This type of training boosts stamina, metabolism and coordination, and strengthens bones and connective tissues. As you age, your body begins to lose lean muscle mass and you have to replace it or you will have a higher percentage of body fat. Muscle works harder than fat, and calories are used to activate, tighten and repair your muscles after they are used. This is because muscle burns more calories than other body tissue even when you're not moving. Making it an important part of losing weight. Stay Hydrated Monitor how much water you drink on a daily basis. Mayo Clinic recommends that men should drink about 13 cups each day, and women should drink about 9 cups. Getting dehydrated can cause your metabolism to slow down. It can also make you feel hungry when you are not. 17 ABUNDANT HEALTH Feeling hunger pains? You may just be dehydrated. Try drinking a glass of water first before reaching meals and snacks. If you are increasing your physical activity, you should also increase the amount of water your body loses to replace what is lost through perspiration. In addition, caffeine can act as a diuretic and cause you to eliminate fluids more quickly, so you should drink more to counteract this. Start Your Day With Lemon Water One of the most simple and easy changes to add to your healthy lifestyle is to begin your morning with a warm (or cold if prefer) cup of water and lemon on an empty stomach. This is the time when your stomach can absorb the most nutrients. When we wake up, our body is dehydrated and in need of water to push out toxins and revive the cells. Warm water with lemon has many health benefits; helps promote healthy digestion, metabolism, immune system, and joint health, alkalizes the body and helps in the body’s natural detox process. Lemon interacts with enzymes to stimulate digestion and the normal exertion of metabolism. It can also rev up the immune system by protecting the body against free radicals and cleanse the liver by releasing those toxins. Lemons have electrolytes, such as calcium, magnesium and potassium that can help muscle and joint health. Be Careful Not To Lose Weight Too Quickly It can be encouraging to lose weight quickly, especially at first. However, you should be careful if you are consistently losing more than 3 or 4 pounds per week. A good rate is actually 1 to 2 pounds per week. Rapid weight loss has its own risks. Following these guidelines will help you be much safer with your weight loss program and help you 18 ABUNDANT HEALTH maximize the effectiveness of the Yacon Syrup. Understand How to Boost Your Metabolism Metabolic reactions in the body there the breaking down of food into compounds that your body needs in order to survive and produce energy. There are two components: catabolism, which is the actual breakdown process, and anabolism, which reassembles the compounds into useful parts your body can absorb and utilize. Boosting metabolism happens differently for different people. Understanding what factors impact your metabolism is the first step to knowing how to boost it. Genes or Medical Conditions Different things can affect your body’s ability to have these metabolic reactions. First of all, some people have hereditary conditions that cause them to have a slow metabolism. Or, they can develop these conditions due to medical reasons, such as having a thyroid disorder. If you suspect something is stunting your metabolism, speak with a doctor and consider undergoing tests he or she recommends. Age and Gender Still other complications arise due to age, as our metabolism tends to slow, as we get older. Gender also plays a role: men tend to have more muscle and thus tend to burn calories faster than women do. This means that women may have to stay more disciplined than men when following best practices for effective and sustainable weight loss. Lifestyle Finally, your lifestyle choices, such as being sedentary, sitting all day at work or eating different types of food, can impact your metabolism as well. Take an honest look at your lifestyle and identifying areas where improvement is needed. Start small by changing one or two things each week or each month. A lot of small changes will eventually add up to big ones! 19 ABUNDANT HEALTH BODY RE-COMPOSITION AND HOW TO MEASURE YOUR RESULTS Many of us have been conditioned to place an utmost importance on the number that appears when we step onto the scale. In reality, the number you see may do very little in terms of accurately telling the story of your weight loss journey. After you start taking Yacon Syrup and especially when bolstered with a healthy eating plan and regular exercise regimen, your body may not simply lose fat. A successful program will result in your body actually replacing fat with muscle. This means that you are not just losing weight, but also effectively re-composing the makeup of your body. The result is a leaner, more toned appearance. Muscle is denser than fat, so any given amount of muscle will actually weigh more than fat in an amount equal in mass. Additionally, the more muscle mass your body has, the more calories you burn even when doing absolutely nothing. This makes body re-composition much more sustainable over time than weight loss alone. For these reasons, we recommend looking beyond the scale when measuring your results while using Yacon Syrup. We suggest weighing yourself no more than one time per week, on the same day and at the same time, if you choose to weigh yourself at all. Weighing yourself more frequently or at erratic times is likely to skew your perception of your progress as weight can fluctuate frequently for any number of reasons. While tracking your results and measuring your success, we urge you to pay attention to changes in body shape or measurements, the way your clothes fit, and your energy levels rather than focusing on weight alone. 20 ABUNDANT HEALTH WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN STARTING YACON SYRUP While sustainable weight loss can often be a slow and steady process that requires 6-12 weeks of commitment, Yacon Syrup offers some almost immediate benefits! You can expect to experience hunger control and support for your digestive health when utilizing other weight loss strategies. Remember that is normal not to see a dramatic decrease in body mass or weight over a short period of time. This is why we recommend to using the full supply depending on how many teaspoons you are using, before judging your results. Also, don’t forget that it is even possible for numbers on the scale to remain the same or even increase as you experiences fat-to-muscle replacement or re-composition. HOW MUCH WEIGHT CAN I LOSE? Every body is different, each with its own chemical makeup, metabolism, and current composition. Also, different lifestyles, diet and exercise habits, and degree of adherence to the dosage and best practices recommendations will contribute to your results. People with more excess weight may lose larger amounts of weight up front and experience a slow down after that, while others will not see gradual, steady results until after a couple of months of consistent use. The bottom line is that you must remain committed to using the Yacon Syrup supplement as directed to truly see results, and those results can be augmented by following the healthy lifestyle suggestions, dosage directions, and best practices detailed in this e-book. 21 ABUNDANT HEALTH GETTING STARTED The most important aspect of beginning supplement program, is understanding all of the instructions and dosage directions. For Yacon Syrup, this means taking 1 teaspoon, three times a day. We recommend the following steps to help build a solid foundation for success: 22 ABUNDANT HEALTH MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM Our goal is for you to receive optimal benefits during your experience with Yacon Syrup. We have put together the following “best practices” to help guide you to achieving your weight loss goals as efficiently as possible. Buy the Best Purchase the highest quality, 100% certified organic Yacon Syrup with the greatest percentage of FOS you can find. Avoid the “Food Effect” Taking supplements when you already have food in your stomach can result in the main ingredient binding to the minerals in the food, losing the potency and full effects. To avoid this “Food Effect,” always take Yacon Syrup on an empty stomach. Find Your Perfect Dose We recommend 15mg per day in the form of 1 teaspoon, three times a day before meals. However, these are not hard and fast rules. Some customers just take 2 23 ABUNDANT HEALTH teaspoons a day or only use in their morning coffee. Adjust your dosage and observe the effects until you find the best practice for your body. Spread Out Meals After waking, your body stays in fat-saving mode until you eat something. Start with a glass of lemon water. Then, recharge by taking Yacon Syrup and eating the first of three nutritious, well-balanced meals spaced throughout the day. Avoid Fattening Foods Avoid deep-fried foods, processed foods, foods high in sugar, and foods with a high (over 70) glycemic index, including white bread, potatoes, and sweets. Continue your healthy eating habits after discontinuing your use of the supplement. Practice Healthy Lifestyle Habits Make sure you get at least moderate amounts of exercise, sleep at least 8 hours each night, and drink the recommended amount of water for your body weight. Don’t overcook! Cooking to temperatures over about 158 degrees F breaks down the FOS structure, making it less effective in the body. Continue your healthy eating and exercise habits after stopping the supplement. If still feel you need to lose weight after the first 12 week period, take a 30 day break from Yacon Syrup before resuming it again. CHEERS TO GOOD HEALTH!
