STARTING SEPTEMBER 8TH
KETOVATION
SO EXCITED ON ALL THE FEEDBACK
ON THE KETOVATION PROGRAM! [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
Here are some helpful Q&A[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
KETOVATION[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
What Is It: Ketovation – Very Low Carbohydrate, High Healthy Fat, Medium Protein diet – Cycled with weeks of Innovation- Low Calorie, Low Fat Low/Medium Carbohydrate,, High Protein diet.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
How does it work: The Ketovation diet forces your body to alternate it’s fuel sources between ketones and glucose. Two weeks the Ketovation diet relies on the liver to break down stored fat into molecules called ketones. As carbs are reduced the fat is increased, the body enters a metabolic state called ketosis. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
When you are on Ketovation your body will be in ketosis – it will take from stored fat on your body to use as energy – creating faster and significant weight loss results right from the start. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
We have learned through our Ketovation cycling – we are increasing our long term weight loss results on Ketovation. When we do 2 weeks of Ketovation then cycle in Healthy Carbohydrate days – the cycling increases your metabolism helping the body to react continuously to the ketosis. Producing faster, and continuous weight loss. Another added benefit is clients have an easier time both mentally and physically of staying on the program because while you are cycling in your Innovation healthy carbohydrate, low fat, high protein days – you are seeing faster and continuous weight loss making it more doable to stick to the program overall. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
*The most important thing is you have to be 100% the first two weeks of Ketovation with no Hiccups.
With the Holiday’s approaching plan accordingly. [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
*INNOVATION: Low Fat 5%; Low/Medium Carbohydrate 25-30%; High Protein 65%.
*KETOVATION: High Healthy Fat 70%, Very Low Carbohydrate 5%, Medium Protein 25%
There are 4 Different Ways to do Ketovation: (Choose one)[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
1. First two weeks you will follow 100% Ketovation which is very low carbohydrate, high healthy fat program for 2 weeks and incorporate in one cheat meal and one cheat snack each week. On the 3rd week you will incorporate one full week of your regular Innovation Program and then cycle back to 2 weeks of Ketovation. Continue this rotation until you reach your goal.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
2. First Two weeks of 100% Ketovation with one cheat meal and one cheat snack. Continue on Ketovation and in the 3rd week on your cheat day you will incorporate and Innovation day with One Cheat Meal and One Cheat Snack (Two meals and Two Snacks from your Innovation menu and One Cheat Meal and One Cheat Snack on the same day once a week. Continue until you reach your goal.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
3. First Two weeks of 100% Ketovation each month – following with your regular Innovation Program low fat, low/medium carbohydrate, High Protein Program for 2 weeks. So it’s 2 weeks Ketovation and then 2 weeks Innovation. Continuing this cycle until you reach your goal.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
4. Two weeks of 100% Ketovation as a Jump start and then back to 100% Innovation Program and remaining on your Innovation Program until you reach your goal.[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]

But because our food is delicious, easy, portioned and balanced perfectly of 70% healthy fat, 25% protein and less than 5% carbohydrates for the Ketovation Program you will want to incorporate it.

Can I drink alcohol on the Ketovation Program: Yes! If you are over 21 you can have Vodka, Tequila, Gin or Whiskey[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE KETOVATION PROGRAM[dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]
- You are not giving up carbohydrates because it’s impossible to live without them.
- The Results are Faster, Significant, AND consistent weekly weight loss
- Balances hormones
- It acts as an appetite suppressant because of positive changes in hunger hormones, including leptin
- Improves insulin sensitivity – which helps fuel utilization and metabolism
- DECREASED BODY FAT – Ketovation promotes the loss of body fat, especially unhealthy abdominal fat.
- Decreased Stored Fat – Because excess carbs are stored as fat when there is minimal intake of carbs – your body uses your stored fat for energy creating the weight loss
- The Ketovation diet drastically reduces chronic inflammation
- Increased Fat Burning during rest, and daily activities [dt_sc_hr_invisible_small]

AUGUST GOALS
BIG NEWS AND CHANGES COMING TO INNOVATION! Can you believe we are already in August! It’s been such a busy summer. I have been working on some really exciting things for September that I can’t wait to share. In the next couple of weeks I will start to share all of these new wonderful programs and products that we will be incorporating into the store. It’s Super Exciting! You are going to love them all.
LET’S TALK AUGUST: While I am working on all of these new things, I want you all to answer these questions:
WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS FOR AUGUST…. It’s so important to go into the month knowing what you want out of it. August is a time when we may not want to think and be on schedule or always do the right thing – because we know in a very short time it’s the ending of the summer months that we waited so long to arrive. But it’s a time where we have to think about it or we can do some major damage. So whether it’s to lose one pound a week or to maintain where you. Plan, Prepare and Follow Through with it. Start by asking yourself where do you want to be by August 31? Then follow it up by what are you willing and capable of doing to get there. If it’s weight loss then you need to be willing to walk away from the temptations. If it’s maintaining then you need to choose your battles on what is worth indulging. We always have choices – just always remember it’s your actions that determine the results.
ARE YOU MAKING THE GOOD DAYS COUNT… If you know you are having long weekends at the beach then you need to be 100% Monday through Thursday. If you want to lose weight or maintain this summer but don’t want to be super strict — then be amazing on the days you can be. And on the days that are more challenging- try to be mindful even if you are cheating. You don’t want big Cheat Days to be consecutive and you don’t want to be Cheating a little everyday. The days that you can be amazing – then be amazing and eat the minimal that is on your plan. On the days you need extra snacks then have them but make sure they are on program snacks. If you want to enjoy a treat here and there then do it but try to be amazing and 100% on program the following day. My point is, the great days will help in your overall month.
ARE YOU BEING HONEST WITH YOURSELF… Don’t go into the month saying you want to lose but your actions are the complete opposite of someone who is trying to lose. If you know your schedule is a little crazy right now or you are just mentally weak then be okay with maintaining. It’s important to be honest with yourself not just about what you want but what but also what you know you are going to really follow through with. Being honest with yourself requires self-awareness and even courage. It can sometimes be challenging to make contact with your truth, and even harder to take action based on that truth. But when you are honest with yourself about what you are capable of at this time – you have an 85% chance of achieving it. So let the truth set you free and be honest with yourself about where you think you can be August 31.
DO YOU HAVE A POSITIVE MINDSET GOING INTO AUGUST….. While you are deciding what you are capable of it’s so important to be positive about it. Always remember to use the words I can, I will, Im excited! Being positive about what you want is so important but talking positive to yourself about what you want is even more important. You will believe what you tell yourself so if you use negative words like “I can’t” then you won’t. But if you stick with the positive “I can” then you will!. If you think about it it’s no different than what many of us teach our own children. Be positive about what you want and believe in yourself that you can do it. Because at the end of the day you are the one person who has total control over what you are doing, thinking and feeling.
ARE YOU CHOOSING YOUR HARD…. Most people gain between 8-10 pounds by September. That’s a lot of weight to gain on top of weight that you already needed to lose. Think smart and act smarter! If you want to look good, you want to feel good then you have to do good things and make the right choices for your mind and body. Yes, exercising is very important and the more you can incorporate it the better you will feel. But eating clean and staying on program is what is going to make you feel amazing and make the changes you really want to see. It’s what will make you feel that lighter, happier feeling that you love and change the number on the scale to where you want it to be. It’s what gives you the feeling that you are in control and doing the right things for your body and mind. While it’s much harder to follow in August…. It’s also hard to go into September at a higher number.
Final Thoughts…..Summer days in August is a time when it’s harder to stay on track and have 100% days. But just because it’s harder doesn’t mean it’s not doable and doesn’t mean it’s not necessary. I don’t have to tell you how quickly you will gain the weight back. This program works if you follow it but like anything else if you eat what you want when you want you will gain the weight back. You see the clients around you. Many who have lost the weight and kept the weight off and are maintaining. They do it because they are on program and live the program. They are always prepared and have their food and snacks. We have hundreds of clients maintaining this summer and we have hundreds of clients losing this summer. You have to decide what you want and follow through with it. There is always a choice and you need to make it everyday. If you want to lose weight this summer you need to follow your program and stay on program 6 straight days in order to enjoy the Cheat Day. Make sure you have all your meals and snacks prepared and ready for you. It’s important to plan your days and be ready for whatever is coming your way. If you have your meals and snacks then you have no excuse to go off program. Just because it’s summer doesn’t mean you have to give up losing weight. You can enjoy and lose weight if you are willing to put the work in. Remember, the harder you work the better the results. It’s never easy – especially in August, but it’s very doable and necessary – especially in August.
At the end of August and the end of the Summer months we have to accept what we have done. While it’s great to party, drink and indulge – if you continuously over do it — you will be left with the results that I can assure you will not be worth how you feel. So stay mindful and think before you act. Because just like every bad choice will make a negative difference — every good choice will make a positive one.
WHAT HAPPENS IN AUGUST DETERMINES YOUR SEPTEMBER

ARE YOU REALLY TRYING YOUR BEST?
ARE YOU REALLY TRYING YOUR BEST?
How often we say it. How often we promise to do it. Yet, how rarely do we actually do the best we can? When we do — when we use all our efforts, when we push through old and new boundaries — the satisfaction is enormous and the rewards are sweeter because we earned them. But the first thing you have to come to terms with is your best really your best? Mindset is everything when it comes to weight loss. When you wake up in the morning and tell yourself — “That’s it!” — You are tired of giving every one else your best, NOW you are going to give yourself your best too!! You are going to put yourself in a place that no matter what — you will do the right thing. You will make sure you walk away when you have to and you will plan, prepare and follow through each day. You not only promise yourself — but you fight through the tough times and you don’t let anything or anyone set you back. So don’t just SAY you are going to try your best THINK IT, BELIEVE IT AND DO IT. Because if you believe that you are going to be amazing then you will be amazing and if you think it’s too hard you can’t do it — you won’t do it.
From the time you wake up in the morning how you think about yourself and your day is going to have a huge impact on your results. Last week we went over how important it is to Fall in love with taking care of yourself. This week I want you to continue that but be excited about it. Be excited about the scale. Be excited about feeling good. Be excited about doing the right things…. And be excited because you are in control of your life and you make the decisions on whether or not you want to live healthy, be thin and feel amazing. No one makes those choices for you. How exciting that you get to wake up today and decide that you want to take care of your body, your mind, your health. You want to work hard toward a goal and you are the only one who can get in the way of that goal. What you want, how bad you want it and hard you work for it will determine your success. How amazing is that — and how EXCITING!
Keep the NEGATIVE OUT: Keep the negative people away, and keep the negative emotions out of your mind. Negative people will always be around. Sometimes we can control their presence and sometimes we can’t. But you always CAN control what you take from them. If you have no choice to be around negative people then it’s important to keep your mindset extra strong. Don’t let them take you to their dark side. Don’t let them talk you into ordering something you don’t want. Don’t let them convince you how hard weight loss is (we already know how hard it is no one has to tell us). Most of all don’t let them take you off your path. Unfortunately even our closest people can take us off our healthy path just because they are in a bad place. The bottom line is misery loves company. It doesn’t mean they don’t love you it just means they want you to share in their misery at that moment. What you do and how you react is your choice. And while it may only be one bad day for them — that one bad moment for you might take you off your path for a week — and then where does that leave you? Stick to what works for — if they love you they will be okay with it. If they are not okay with it then you should re-evaluate your people.
POSITIVE PEOPLE ARE HAPPY PEOPLE
KEEP THE NEGATIVE EMOTIONS OUT OF IT: I can’t, it’s too hard, im sick of it, I should weigh less by now, I want to be at my goal already, they made me do it. I didn’t want to go off I had no choice ……. I can literally go on with this list forever. I have heard it all. If you want to change your results – THEN CHANGE YOUR WORDS. The words you tell yourself are the words you will live — so every time you catch yourself being negative — STOP AND PAUSE and then reverse it. Even if you don’t feel it reverse it anyway and keep your words and thoughts positive. The more you do it the more it will become second nature. No one wants to hear you crying — You don’t even want to hear you crying. Everyone has their own problems and is trying to get through their own tough days. Im sure you are even sick of listening to all the negative excuses that comes out of your mouth — so think of how your family and friends feel. Negative talk does nothing but create negative actions which result in negative results. KEEP IT POSITIVE- POSITIVE -POSITIVE! The more positive you talk to yourself the better results you will think….. The more positive you results you think the more positive you will speak…… the more positive results you speak the better results you will feel. While I know you already know all of this — it never hurts to be reminded so you can reevaluate your words, thoughts and environment. We can fool others. But we can’t fool ourselves. When you are honest with yourself it will bring freedom for you to work harder. Only you truly know what your best is. And when you give less than your best those are the results you have to live with.
IT’S YOUR HAPPY HEALTHY LIFE YOU ARE WORKING SO HARD FOR

MAKE YOUR CHOICE AND STICK TO IT
4TH OF July Weekend has arrived — it’s time to make your choice and stick to it.
As many of your know it doesn’t take much to gain weight. All it takes is not thinking, not planning, and frequently over indulging — very easy to do any time of the year but especially over a long holiday weekend.
THIS WEEKEND
you have 3 choices — Lose, Maintain, or Gain
WEIGHT LOSS: If you are really motivated and the weight loss means everything to you and you don’t want anything in your way of reaching your goals then you will continue to stick to your menu and ONLY HAVE ONE CHEAT DAY THIS WEEKEND. That means no extras at all. Simply stick to your meals and snacks and only cheat the ONE cheat day. If you do this and treat this weekend like any other weekend you will continue to stay on your path and lose weight. Will it be easy — that depends on how much you have going on — it also depends on what is most important to you. While some can go to a BBQ and focus more on how they feel others are challenged by what is around them. These are choices only you can make. There are always options — if you are going out make sure you bring what you need or make sure they will have what you need available to you. Plan before not after. Don’t give yourself reasons to do the wrong thing. If you want to stay on program and feel your best then follow your plan and stick to your clean meals and snacks. The most important thing is to make your choice before you go and stick with what you plan.
MAINTAINING: If you have a lot going on this weekend and you feel really good about where you are and you want to enjoy a little extra then you will split your days. You pick 2 out of the 3 days and you stay on program for breakfast and lunch and cheat dinner, drinks and/or desserts; and you do it Friday and Saturday OR Saturday and Sunday or Friday and Sunday (you choose 2 days of the long weekend and cheat any one meal, drinks and/or desserts and the rest of the day you are 100% on program). If you follow this you will maintain your weight through the holiday weekend — very doable. But again the most important thing is to make a choice, plan for it and then stick to it.
WEIGHT GAIN: Very easy to do but NEVER an option!
We always talk about planning and how important it is. But what is more important is following through on the planning. Do the right things and make sure that if you planned on being 110% today — then you are 100%. If you planned on cheating for dinner and dessert and then right back on the next day — make sure you go right back on the next day — no excuses. If you planned on being off program 2 nights but clean all day then make sure you do it. Always think things through — what is tomorrow going to feel like, and what the end result of your choices will be. Will it make you happy? Is it worth it? Think about where you are today and where do you want to be come Monday. Learn to live and enjoy today but plan for what you want and where you want to be tomorrow.
ALCOHOL – THINK BEFORE YOU DRINK: One drink you are okay — TWO drinks you are forgetting what is important to you — THREE drinks you are done. It’s not the alcohol that is the issue it’s what the alcohol makes you do and what it makes you forget. It’s fun to have but it can be very damaging on so many levels. Remember to think before you drink. Like everything else have a plan and know how many you are having and stick to what you plan. Drink water throughout it’s hydrating and it keeps your hands busy.
FINAL THOUGHTS…. whether you want to lose weight this weekend or maintain you can do it. You follow your plan and decide before so you know what you are doing and what the outcome will be. Think things through and always remember that just because it’s a holiday weekend that you want to enjoy and celebrate doesn’t mean that you need to cheat at everything you go to or everyday of the weekend. You can enjoy and celebrate everything without constantly indulging unhealthy weight gaining foods. We know you will feel better mentally and physically and have a happier time staying on program. When you can be amazing and on program do it because every good healthy clean choice can make the difference between maintaining and gaining. And all the choices you make as the weekend progresses will make the difference in how you look and feel each day.
You are the only person who can make the excuse of why you are going off program and you are the only person who can give yourself a better excuse of why you are staying on program. Monday is only 4 days away — think about how you want to wake up and feel when the weekend is behind you.
Make good choices today so you don’t have regrets tomorrow
Innovation Wishes everyone a Happy, Healthy and Safe 4th of July

HELLO MARCH 2020
March has arrived with weather that is a great reminder that Spring and Summer are around the corner!
We have a beautiful 5 weeks of weight loss right in front of us. Do not waste it. Do not look back and say why didn’t I do it. Think about it — 2 lbs a week is so doable and that would be a fabulous 10 lb weight loss in one month! Yes sometimes it requires getting out of our own way. For example: Stop the alcohol on non-cheat days; Make sure your cheat day is 1 day and not 1 1/2 or 2; — It’s so easy to sit and cry and think nothing works for me, but i’m telling you that is absolutely not true. The program will work for you — but only if you put the work in. You have to put the time in and you have to be consistent. You have to be mentally prepared to give it 110% and stick to your 6 days of weight loss with 1 cheat day. When you do that I promise you that you will see the same weight loss as everyone else that is on program.
If you have not been doing the right thing and are walking around miserable or are miserable inside your head — you know that you are the only person who can change it. I can give you all the tools and I can show you thousands of clients who have done it and continue to do it and look and feel amazing. And I can tell you 100% that you are no different than any of them. If you want it you can have it. But first you have to stop playing mind games with yourself, stop making deals with yourself, and no more excuses. If you really want the 10 lbs in March then start working had for it everyday. Follow your program and don’t let anything or anyone get in your way – including yourself.
Clients already have had a successful 2020 and it’s only March. Clients from all over Chicago, California, Arizona, Alabama, Boston, Florida, Georgia, and right here in New York — amazing amazing results. Why? It’s not because they all just jumped on program and did the right thing — although many have done just that. But majority have been on and they struggled their way through it. They have hiccups but they hold their breath and get past them. Sometimes it’s a day and sometimes it’s a week but they get past them. The reason I am telling you this is so you realize you are not the only one who struggles. Weight loss is hard. But if you want to see the weight loss you have to be willing to put the work in every day. You have to be consistent and always continue to move forward. You have to push yourself when you don’t want to be pushed and you have to be okay with walking away from temptation that will always be there. But most important is you have to really decide what it is you want and how important it is to you to get there. It’s not easy to eat less than your body needs…. it’s not easy to deal with the hunger that you feel when you are eating less… and it’s not easy to walk away from temptation when you are hungry. But it’s even harder to step on the scale and feel uncomfortable in your own skin.
This month be willing to embrace the challenge. Get through the little hunger, the temptation and the hiccups. Pass on the drink and be okay with it. When you are out to dinner order on program. Walk away from the temptation and be excited about it! Promise yourself that no matter what or who is on your path you will continue to do the right thing. Because when you do that is when April 1st will come and you will be 10 lbs lighter than you are today and you will be so so happy that you are back in control, and back on your happy path where you always feel amazing.
THINK ABOUT IT: In 5 very quick weeks you are either going to be super happy that you put the work in and feel amazing and on your way to being the best you for Spring and Summer OR you will look back and think “I should have… I could have… I wish I did it… ugh why didn’t I do it.” ~choose your hard.
EMBRACE THE CHALLENGE
~It’s the challenges that make life interesting
Overcoming them is what makes life meaningful~
