Q. How is GR2 Control different from other diets? A. GNLD’s scientifically-proven program helps you
lose weight and centimetres while improving your overall health. GR2 Control
empowers you to control your glycaemic response and enables your body
to burn fat for fuel, instead of storing it. You can lose weight without
going hungry or feeling deprived. And, you can enjoy an abundance of different
foods while on the program! You will lose weight while improving your
chances for a new, healthier you, now and in the future. Q. What if I start to feel a lack of energy while on the program? A. The GR2 Control Weight-Loss Program is designed
to provide the average adult with stabilised blood glucose levels to maintain
high energy levels and avoid hyper- and hypoglycaemia throughout the day.
In fact, users report that their energy levels have never been higher
than while on GR2 Control! Q. What if I become constipated while on the program? A. Most people who experience constipation while on the GR2 Control
Program either are not drinking enough water, and/or are not choosing
enough fibre-rich foods for mini-meals and from the “ENJOY” list. Q. What if I develop headaches while on the program? A. Headaches are often a sign of low blood sugar. If you develop headaches within a few hours of any of your meals, your activity level may be too high for the amount of carbohydrates that you are consuming. Make sure that you are following the mini-meal suggestions closely. If headaches persist, consult your doctor. Q. How long can I stay on the program? A. You may use GR2 Control products for as long as you like! Once you’ve achieved your goal weight, you will go into a maintenance phase that you can follow indefinitely. See your Success Guide for a detailed description of how to use GR2 Control products as part of a lifelong weight maintenance plan. Q. I want to know if lactose-intolerant people will be able to take the GR2 Control Meal Replacement Shake. A. Absolutely! In fact, to minimise the adverse effect of lactose intolerance, GNLD product formulators employed a unique mix of protein sources for GR2 Control Meal Replacement Protein Shake. Some of these protein sources are from milk (caseinate), but contain only a small amount of lactose. Some of the protein is provided by soy, which contains no lactose. You and your customers will be happy to know that the amount of lactose in a serving of GR2 Control is well within a tolerable limit for nearly any lactose intolerant individual. Q. Can I still drink Aloe Vera Plus while on the program? A. Aloe Vera Plus is a perfect accompaniment to GR2 Control. Aloe Vera Plus is sweetened with fructose (only a few grams per serving!) so it has a very low glycaemic response. However, we’d like to point out that when on the GR2 Control Weight-Loss Program, it’s important to only consume Aloe Vera Plus in the label-recommended amounts to insure optimum weight-loss success. Q. At what age can one use GR2 Control? A. GR2 Control was formulated for use by healthy adults who are not under a doctor’s care, nor have prescribed dietary restrictions. Adults who are unsure if GR2 Control will work with a prescribed nutrition program should consult their doctor. Children should only use the GR2 Control Weight-Loss Program under supervision of their paediatrician. Q. Can the Meal Replacement Protein Shake be mixed and then frozen to take with me to use later? Will it still have the same nutrient value? A. Freezing the Meal Replacement Protein Shake right after mixing will not affect nutrient delivery. However, the GR2 Control insulated lunch bag makes it easy to mix your shake anywhere, anytime. Just measure out a serving of Meal Replacement Protein Shake mix and place it in the screw-top container. Later, you can pour it in the plastic GNLD shaker, add water, shake, and voila! — your shake is ready! Q. Can pregnant women and women who are breast-feeding use the new GR2 Control Weight-Loss Program? A. Proper nutrition during pregnancy and while
breast-feeding is extremely critical to the overall long-term good health
of both the mother and the baby. That is why we always recommend that
pregnant/nursing mothers consult with their doctor and follow his/her
nutritional advice. Q. Will heating the Meal Replacement Protein Shake destroy any of its nutrients? A. Heating the Meal Replacement Protein Shake will destroy some of the nutrients, especially vitamin C, if heated to a high temperature. However, if Meal Replacement Protein Shake is warmed up (after mixing in cold water) to a heat similar to that used with oatmeal/porridge, most of the nutrients will remain unchanged. But, keep in mind that this product was not formulated to be heated, therefore to optimise nutrient delivery, mix and use as directed. Q. What is the difference between GR2 Control Meal Replacement Protein Shake and NouriShake? A. There are several major differences between
NouriShake and GR2 Control: Q. How does GR2 Control compare with Neo-Trim? A. GR2 Control is one step further up the scientific ladder of understanding weight-loss and weight control. Since Neo-Trim was formulated to be mixed with milk, the higher carbohydrate values cause you to lose the glycaemic response advantage that GR2 Control Meal Replacement Protein Shake provides. Neo-Trim also had almost twice the amount of kilojoules per serving as GR2 Control Meal Replacement Shake. Plus, GR2 Control also has the advantage of the Appetite Reducer and Thermogenic Enhancer components, which when combined with the Meal Replacement Protein Shake, offer weight management benefits that Neo-Trim could not offer. Q. I’ve never heard of Acesulfame-K, is it safe? A. Absolutely! Acesulfame-K (Acesulfame-Potassium
or Ace-K) is an inert, non-nutritive sweetener which has garnered the
acceptance of essentially every major food safety institute and organisation
worldwide. It has undergone more than two decades worth of safety testing
and clinical trials in laboratories around the world. Q. What if I suffer from hypoglycaemia - can I use the program? A. Most individuals with hypoglycaemia need a diet that helps maintain steady blood sugar levels, and GR2 Control is a perfect way of doing so. In fact, GR2 Control is specifically formulated to help you maintain a constant blood sugar level throughout the day. With GR2 Control, you will not experience the “glycaemic roller coaster” that triggers hypoglycaemia. If you are on medication for hypoglycaemia, you should consult with your doctor before using the GR2 Control Weight-Loss Program. Q. What if I have Type I or Type II diabetes? A. The GR2 Control Weight-Loss Program was
formulated using knowledge gained from diabetic diets. For those who are
non-insulin dependent (Type II diabetes), GR2 Control is an excellent
program to help keep blood sugar in control.
Q. Can I use the program if I have thyroid problems? A. Yes, you can! Although many people with hypo/hyperthyroid conditions do not need to lose weight, those who do can use GR2 Control and enjoy all the benefits our program has to offer. Q. My doctor says I have poor cardiovascular health. Can I still use the program? A. Most adults who have poor cardiovascular health can improve it by using GR2 Control. Our weight-loss program supports your efforts to decrease the risk factors that may erode the health of the cardiovascular system. GR2 Control Weight-Loss Program not only helps you lose weight, it also offers an explosion of health benefits not found in any other weight-loss program. Q. Can I use the program if I’m taking prescription medications? A. In most cases, yes, you can. Millions of adults rely on some form of prescription medication daily for treatment of a variety of ailments. The vast majority of these require no special dietary restrictions. But there are a few medications that do require a very specific diet. Q. Would it be advisable to add PhytoDefense to the GR2 Control program? A. Absolutely! While we encourage optimum consumption of fruits and vegetables in our mini-meal and main meal choices, you may still fall short of the optimal 9 servings a day. To help insure you get the full benefits of a diet rich in phytonutrient-rich fruits and vegetables, supplement with PhytoDefense! Q. What are vegetarian substitutes for meats, besides tofu? A. Besides tofu, vegetarians can make stews prepared with low glycaemic
index grains, such as couscous, quinoa, bulgar, tabbouleh, barley, or
wild rice. Legumes, such as lentils, beans (pinto, red, black, kidney,
white), peas (split, black-eyed), and chickpeas not only have a low glycaemic
index, but also add lots of protein to the diet. Tempeh and milk products
are also excellent sources of protein and calcium. Plus, ovo- vegetarians
can consume eggs as part of their meals. Q. Some of us are losing weight very slowly, counter to the claims and testimonies. Would a loss of 3kg and 2-4cm in 2 weeks be normal? A. Actually that’s very good! Keep in mind that weight-loss rates will vary, as they are dependent on many different factors. For example, people who don’t have as much weight to lose may take off the weight slower than someone with more to lose may. And, some people may be sticking with the plan, while others might be altering it to suit their own preferences. Those that stick to the plan as outlined in the Success Guide will experience results faster than those who don’t. However, we can assure you that someone who has lost 3kg in 2 weeks is definitely on the road to success! Q. Is it true that the Enjoy/Avoid guide is only for dinner? Can any substitutions be made for the mini-meals, or will more suggestions be added later? A. The Enjoy/Avoid booklet is designed to help the user in several
ways. Primarily, the booklet helps GR2 Control participants pick items for
their main meal. Additionally, the Enjoy/Avoid booklet provides guidelines
for meal choices when a GR2 Control shake is not available, like at a
party or when dining out. And lastly, the booklet helps the user to make
wise food choices when at the supermarket. By using the guide in these
circumstances, the participant can choose foods that are both nutritious
and are part of the program. Finally, the booklet gives food choices for
those that have met their weight-loss goals and are now in a maintenance
phase. Q. Should breads be checked for sugar content? Is there an allowable range, since most have some sweetener in them? What about oils? A. If a GR2 Control participant is choosing breads based on the Enjoy list, the minor differences in oils or sugars will not make a difference in the overall program. However, if a participant has narrowed the choices down to two different breads, then go with the one that has fewer sugars or more fibre. Q. Are we to be watching the total grams of sugar in various products? Are sugar-free flavoured yoghurts allowed? A. Yes, sugar-free flavoured yoghurts are allowed, and are listed in the Enjoy/Avoid booklet under the Enjoy, Dairy, Other heading. Keep in mind that if one is selecting food choices based on the Enjoy list, then minor variations between brands will not negatively impact the program. GR2 Control is not a low carbohydrate program, thus the participants need carbohydrates for energy. Q. It would be helpful to have the serving sizes listed on the pages of the Enjoy/Avoid booklet. A. The Enjoy/Avoid booklet was designed to be a pocket guide that
could be taken anywhere, easily. Because we do not have enough room on the
pages of the Enjoy/Avoid booklet to list serving size, we have given some
examples of serving sizes in the Success Guide, both on pages 17-19
(mini-meals) and on page 22 (serving sizes in general). Additionally,
serving size is normally listed on the label for foods like cheeses, nuts,
and legumes. For fruits and vegetables, a 1/2 cup to 1 cup is usually
recommended. Fruits like apples and pears that can be eaten whole would be
counted as one serving. Q. When would one eat the sweets and treats listed in the Enjoy/Avoid booklet? A. Sweets and treats would be best eaten after the main meal, as a dessert. What is the amino acid breakdown for GR2 Control Meal Replacement Protein Shake? A. Each flavour of GR2 Meal Replacement Protein Shake has slightly different components. The different flavours vary slightly in their amino acid totals. The following list gives a range of amino acids across flavours.
