Dear GNLD Family Member,

When people enter into this Business, there is often a big

question bouncing around in their minds… the question

of ‘how do I become a leader of my team?’ I love it when

people ask me this because it is the same question I

asked when I began as a Distributor at the age of 19.

Leadership has nothing to do with title, or seniority of a

company, or how much money you have in the bank.

But leadership has everything to do with character,

passion, and purpose. A leader is someone who can

build trust and confidence in others because of who they

are, not what they have. People in your team want to

follow you because of traits you possess that they would

like to have themselves. Leaders are made, not born.

When I began as a Distributor I was not yet a leader. Not

because there was something wrong with me, but

because I had not yet prepared myself to become one.

Just like you can’t expect someone who has never

played soccer to win the World Cup, you can’t expect to

be a leader just by chance. You need practice, practice,

practice.

First we need to work on building our character. In

order to influence others and for them to willingly

follow us, we need to have strong character and

good values that are reflected in the way we live. In

my own life, it has been my relationship with God that

has allowed me to do this. This part of being a leader

never stops. We are never done growing and we always

have learning to do. “Whatever things are true, whatever

things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever

things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever

things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if

there is anything praiseworthy – meditate on these

things.” (Philippians 4:8).

Second, we need to be passionate about what we are

doing. Have our hearts in the right place and make sure

when we are sharing the Products and Opportunity with

others it is because we are truly passionate about

helping them.

We also need to have purpose. Be confident that this

is what we are meant to be doing and that our lives

will significantly and positively impact the lives of

countless others through the actions we are taking each

and every day.

Bill Gates said, “As we look ahead into the next

century, leaders will be those who empower

others.” Thank you for continuing on your journey as a

team leader and for helping us change lives around the

world through this wonderful GNLD Opportunity.

High Protein Diets for Weight Loss, Increased Satiety, and Healthy Metabolism

You’ve probably heard this before but to lose weight you need to create an “energy deficit” – consume less or burn more kilojoules than your body needs to maintain its current weight. However, in recent years scientists have become just as interested in what to eat as they are in how to eat to facilitate weight loss. In other words, the composition of your meals – the amount of protein, carbohydrate, and fat you take in is now considered to be just as important a factor.

Over the years a strong body of scientific evidence has found that higher protein diets are helpful for weight loss2. They help increase satiety to a greater extent than both carbohydrate and fat and promote positive changes in body composition (greater fat loss and retention of lean muscle mass) than traditional, standard protein diets3. And now there’s more good news! Higher protein diets may also prevent

the decrease in kilojoule burning potential (resting energy expenditure) that is typically seen after weight loss.

In a new meta-analysis published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers systematically evaluated 24 well-designed studies that compared a total of 520 and 543 individuals who consumed high protein and standard protein diets, respectively. They found that those consuming a high protein diet significantly reduced the associated decrease in resting energy expenditure (REE) typically seen with weight loss diets4. In fact, researchers found high protein diets helped prevent the reduction in REE by almost 2500 kilojoules! That in itself could make a big difference in your weight loss success.

Muscle Up with a Combination of Soya and Milk Proteins

When it comes to weight management and athletic performance, protein consumption has been one of the most researched areas in the field of nutrition. Some athletes swear by whey protein for muscle building, while vegans rely on soya protein for a high quality, plant based protein source.

What are the secrets to successful weight loss? And, what is the secret to keeping the weight off once it’s gone? According to members of the National Weight Control Registry in the United States, a group of 10,000 people (mostly women) who lost at least 13 kgs and have kept the weight off for a year or more1, it’s no surprise - maintain a positive attitude; keep track of what you eat; weigh yourself once a week; and exercise regularly. These obvious lifestyle factors appear to be good predictors of success. But what else can you do to successfully lose the weight and keep it off? What are the latest scientific findings on this very important topic? In this particular issue of News You Can Use we’ve highlighted just that. We’ve got the latest scientific breakthroughs to share with you about how 7 simple changes to your diet and lifestyle can help you and those you care about achieve a new body and a better life!

Studies have also discovered that although soya and milk proteins are both considered to be high quality, complete sources of amino acids, they appear to have different rates of digestion5. This in turn affects how fast their respective amino acids appear in circulation and their ability to stimulate muscle protein building. Soya and dairy proteins also have different amounts of leucine, a branched chained amino acid that serves as a key signal in muscle tissue to stimulate protein synthesis. And studies also suggest that dairy proteins, like casein play an important role in preventing muscle protein breakdown. Findings like these have raised the question by researchers and athletes alike

“What is the best source of protein to maximise muscle building?”

Well, an ever-expanding area of research comparing the effects of different protein sources on performance is suggesting a combination of both soya and dairy proteins may in fact be best.

In a one-of-a-kind, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical study, researchers from the University of Texas provided 20 healthy young athletes with either a protein blend (a combination of soya, whey and

casein) or whey protein drink immediately after a one-hour bout of high intensity leg resistance exercise6. Muscle biopsies were taken at baseline and twice during the post exercise period. What researchers discovered was that muscle protein synthesis rates were stimulated by both protein treatments but to a greater extent by the protein blend. Researchers concluded that the protein blend

which provided both fast and slowly digested proteins may have prolonged the delivery of amino acids to muscle tissue thus extending the period of muscle protein synthesis.

Appetite and Weight Control – The Role of Gut Hormones

Feelings of fullness after eating are believed to be regulated by a sensory system that sends messages from our gut to the appetite-regulating centres in our brain. In our brain, the hypothalamus responds to our nutrient and energy intake, while in the gut, specialised cells produce several different hormones that control our appetite.

An understanding about the role these hormones play in appetite control has increased exponentially over the last decade leading to a growing interest among scientists in finding ways to modify these hormones to prevent and treat obesity8. The hormones that have intrigued scientists the most have been leptin, ghrelin and cholecystokinin (CKK). However, new gut hormones have been recently identified such as GLP-1, PYY and OXM, all of which appear to play

a role in inhibiting food intake and are currently the subject of many research studies.

Australian researchers examined the effects of meal composition (varying amounts of fat, protein and carbohydrate) on gastrointestinal hormones, appetite and subsequent energy intakes in a group of lean and obese men9. When it came to hormone levels, CCK and ghrelin levels were sustained in response to the high protein and adequate protein meals, but not with the other test meals in both lean and obese men. Overall, this study confirms the satiety-enhancing effects of diets with higher protein content and suggests that gut hormone response may be partially responsible for these effects.

Fill up on Fibre to Prevent Weight Gain

According to studies, the average American adult gains 0.5-1 kg per year. That might not seem like much but, from year to year it could add up. Before you know it you’ve gained 6 to 9 kgs and are showing signs of weight related diseases like Type 2 Diabetes. The good news is there are ways to prevent this weight gain or even encourage weight loss. The secret? Eating more fibre. In a study published in the Journal of Nutrition, researchers at Brigham Young University in Utah followed the eating habits of 252 middle-aged women

for nearly two years and found that those who increased their fibre intake lost weight while those who decreased their fibre intake gained weight7. The scientists found that for every 8 grams of fibre per 4,200 kilojoules consumed, women lost 2 kgs over the course of the study. This held true regardless of how much fibre the women ate prior to the start of the study, which ranged from 3 to 25 grams a day.

if you are active, research suggest you too will experience some muscle loss. Loss of muscle can also make it more difficult to lose weight because when you lose muscle mass, you also slow down your metabolism. So why do we lose muscle as we age? Well, a major cause of age-related muscle loss is thought to be due to the inability of our aging muscle to adequately boost the rate of muscle building in response to a diet rich in protein and amino acids. New research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil may help.

In this study, healthy older adults were randomly assigned to receive either a dose of fish oil containing 1.9 g of EPA and 1.5 g of DHA or an equal amount of corn oil daily for eight weeks10. Key measures of muscle protein synthesis were evaluated before and after

Consider Omega-3 Rich Fish Oil to Help Retain Muscle

Who would have thought that omega-3 fatty acids, well known for their cardiovascular, brain health and anti-inflammatory benefits could also help us retain muscle mass thereby enabling weight management?

Around the age of 30, you begin to lose muscle mass and function, a condition known as age-related sarcopenia. In fact, people who are physically inactive can lose as much as 3% to 5% of their muscle mass per decade after age 30 and even

supplementation and with and without an infusion of amino acids. What researchers found was that corn oil had no effect on muscle protein synthesis rates but that fish oil supplementation did with an infusion of amino acids. In fact, it more than doubled the response, suggesting a stimulatory effect on muscle tissue building. Although the exact mechanisms are unclear, this study provides some compelling evidence that omega-3 fatty acids play a role in muscle metabolism and that supplementation may not only help combat the loss of muscle mass that occurs as we age, but may help with weight loss by preserving your lean muscle mass. Stay tuned for more research!

Timing of Meals May Be Important for Controlling Weight

New research suggests that in addition to balancing kilojoule intake with kilojoules burned to maintain a healthy weight, the timing of your meals may matter. In a large-scale

prospective study conducted by researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in collaboration with the University of Murcia and Tufts University, 420 overweight study participants who followed a 20-week weight loss programme were divided into two groups based on the timing of their main meal of the day (lunch in this particular population)11. Early-eaters were defined as those who ate lunch anytime before 3pm and late-eaters

were defined as those who ate lunch after 3 pm. Researchers found that late-eaters lost significantly less weight and had a slower rate of weight loss than the early-eaters. Late-eaters were also found to have a lower level of insulin sensitivity, a risk factor for diabetes. Although the timing of their other meals did not seem to play a significant role, late-eaters also consumed fewer kilojoules during breakfast or were more likely to skip breakfast altogether, which may have influenced their

weight loss results. It’s important to note that the researchers also looked at other factors that play a role in weight loss such as total kilojoule intake and expenditure, appetite hormones leptin and ghrelin, and hours of sleep in study subjects. Researchers found no significant differences among these factors, suggesting that the time at which a meal was consumed was an independent factor for successful weight loss.

REFERENCES

Resting energy expenditure (REE), the amount of energy expended by a person at rest and total energy expenditure (TEE), the amount of energy a person burns during daily activities, were measured before and after consuming the test diets. What researchers found was that the decrease in REE was greatest for the low fat diet, followed by the low glycaemic diet and then followed by the very low carbohydrate diet. Although the very low carbohydrate diet appeared to produce the best

results in terms of its effects on metabolic rate, it was not without some important caveats. The very low carbohydrate diet was also found to raise cortisol levels, a stress hormone associated with insulin resistance and increased C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation in the body. Although more studies are needed to confirm effects on REE, a low glycaemic response diet appears to have metabolic advantages over other diets when it comes to keeping the weight off long-term.

Keeping the Weight Off – A Low Glycaemic Response Diet May Help

When it comes to achieving a healthy weight, losing the weight is just half the battle. The other half is learning how to keep the weight off for years to come. New research suggests adopting a diet composed of high fibre, low glycaemic response carbohydrates may help keep those kilograms off.

Researchers from Harvard Medical School found diets that reduce the surge in blood sugar after a meal – either a low glycaemic diet or very lowcarbohydrate diet, may be preferable over a low fat diet when trying to achieve lasting weight loss. This four year study evaluated the effects of three different diets: a low glycaemic diet; a very low carbohydrate diet; and a low fat diet on energy expenditure in 21 overweight and obese adults who previously lost weight and were placed on a 6 month maintenance plan12.

Get the “Spring-Fresh” Feeling the Easy WayGOLDEN HOME CARE

GNLD’s Golden Home Care is not only economical and effective, but because they’re in keeping with a “low-dose, low-burden” philosophy our products also are gentle on the environment.

LDC is a mild household cleaner with a pleasant smell. Use it for numerous cleaning tasks in and around the home like washing dishes, washing delicate clothes, washing bathroom and kitchen surfaces, even use it in the bath as a bubble bath. LDC is perfect when you want to clean but need a little extra care.

Let’s start right away!

Hand Washing Delicate Fabrics: Effectively and gently freshen up your clothes with LDC. For nylon, rayon, cotton, polyester and other synthetic fabrics like Lycra. Note: not for use with silk. Use a generous squirt in a basin of water, then agitate with your hand until a rich foam develops. Soak the garment for a short while and then gently rub and wash. Rinse well with water.

Washing Dishes: While cleaning your cupboards you may want to wash your

china and glass, and your pots and pans too. Using your diluted LDC, from the GNLD mixing bottle (1:3), squirt a small amount into your kitchen sink under the running tap. See how LDC almost magically lifts and removes grease and grime. Rinse afterwards and see the sparkling results. It works perfectly in hot or cold water, even salt water. Always remember to take along some LDC on your family holiday or camping trip.

General Cleaning: LDC is perfect for easily cleaning bathroom and kitchen surfaces. Use directly from your mixing bottle, already diluted (1:3).

Hand Cleaner: After all those chores you will need to get yourself clean. Fill a soap dispenser with an LDC dilution (1:3). It’s great to keep in the bathroom to get your hands clean while keeping your skin soft.

Some of our highlights was when our daughter got married in South Africa and we were able to all fly to South Africa. This year when our other daughter got married in Colorado, we then were able to bring the family to the United States. We also had the freedom to travel with the family for 3 weeks which was amazing. To have the time and financial support to do that was another gift from the Lord, who placed GNLD in our path.

We love this amazing company; we love the privilege of being able to empower others to live healthier, wiser, wealthier, more abundant lives. This is our future, this is our life, and this is everything we ever want to do. A huge thank you goes to our upline who called regularly to encourage us to get started. They never quit on us. Thank you for believing in us.

GNLD is the vehicle that we want to leave as a legacy for generations to come. Our plan is to empower one household at a time, to empower others to grow and go into people’s homes, doing home meetings.

We give God the glory for everything in our lives, our amazing family, the tremendous GNLD Business which is a fantastic vehicle to witness love, caring, health, spirituality, encouragement, and financial freedom to others.”
