The Big Chow Down

It’s that time of the year where there are BBQ’s, weddings, and get-togethers galore. Any time you turn around there seems to be an invite with your name on it. With all of this comes a massive amount of food and drink offerings and if you’re like a lot of people, chowing down on calorie laden foods may be a form of stress for you. I know that I have a problem with buffet type set ups because I’m a grazer and keeping track of what I’m consuming is almost impossible for me. But I’ve got some good news… there are some easy ways to support your weight management efforts with a few of doTERRA’s natural offerings.

Our Slim & Sassy Blend

This is our most popular choice when people are looking for natural weight management products. Our Slim & Sassy Blend has 5 essential oils in it, here they are:

Grapefruit
Lemon
Peppermint
Ginger
Cinnamon

All of these oils work together to promote a healthy metabolism, manage hunger cravings, can calm the digestive system, and will help to suppress your appetite when it might get out of control. The oil blend is gentle to your system, tastes great, and is calorie free. It’s the perfect choice to add into your daily routine if you’re looking for a natural option.

The Nutrition Line

doTERRA now offers a full nutrition line of powdered drink mixes that have become really popular, quickly. The line includes five options to choose from:

Protein Nutrition ~ Chocolate
Protein Nutrition ~ Vanilla
Protein Nutrition ~ Vegan
Fiber Nutrition
Greens Nutrition

These products can be added to water, or your preferred choice of milk. These products provide the body with the necessary nutrients needed during the day, have all natural flavors, they are sweetened with monk fruit and stevia, and are free from GMO, gluten, soy, and RBST hormone. This is great news but the best part is, no matter which one you choose, they taste great and are very low in calories so you’re getting a lot of bang for your buck. They also won’t make you feel weighed down after you use them.

Don’t Forget About Cassia

One of our single oils, Cassia, is not found in our weight management category but I know better. For years Cassia oil has been a favorite for many of my friends because by just doing one simple thing when you have a food craving or before you go to a BBQ or party, you can take control of how much you consume without feeling like you’re missing out on anything. That one simple thing is by putting a tiny amount of the Cassia oil on your thumb and pressing it on the roof of your mouth for about 5 seconds. The taste of this oil is amazing, like a cinnamon-apple pie, but it’s strong so a little goes a long way. This quick tip will make you feel like you’ve had a treat and it will help you to feel satisfied and that you’re not missing out on anything. It naturally diminishes cravings and this is a great thing for many of us during this time of the year. ( you can also add 1 drop in a water bottle & drink it down during your day for continuing support )
