Sunrider Quick Notes Nov 2002

Hello Sunriders!
 
This "Quick Notes" issue I want to share some questions posed by a new distributor in Texas and quickly explain the 500 SV issue people are asking me about (How to get your Sunrider foods cheaper).
 
So first, onto the questions.  I was speaking with Jo Ann W. from Texas this weekend.  She owns her own business there in Texas and asked me some questions about cravings and Calli.
 
Q: What do you do about cravings?
 
A: Before Sunrider (BS), eating a traditional diet, the foods we ate did not support the body in any real manner.  We struggle with addictions, cravings and stress.  Cravings can be explained in a couple of ways: 1) our body is wanting something that we're lacking, 2) simple habit 3) stress.  Stress places an incredible demand on our body for nutrition.  This is the reason that by eating a tradional diet, we turn to drugs, alcohol and food to calm ourselves somehow.  Sometimes cravings come from simply having low blood sugar. We have not eaten enough, or it's been a long time since we last ate and our body is telling us it needs something.  We usually reach for the easiest thing available from our local 7-eleven.  And sometimes we just have old habits of eating the same foods because they're quick , easy and convenient.
 
Once we've been eating the basic foods (NuPlus, Calli, Quinary and Stevia) for any amount of time and on a regular basis, most Sunriders find that they get much better control over cravings.  In fact we usually start to crave the Sunrider foods!  The basic foods supply hundreds of organic whole foods to our diet.  Our body begins to balance itself, the stress levels come down and we feel much better about ourselves.
 
Cravings may come disguised.  As we burn the fat, we can experience many things.  I know that while I lost the 288 pounds, I found that at certain levels, I experienced habits from different periods of my life.  I remembered people and doing things in the past.  Things I had forgotten.  I started to crave foods from my childhood for example.  Our very cells and especially our fat cells store lots of things including memories, feelings, emotions etc. Part of the cleansing and healing process may come as emotional experiences.  Make note of this wonderful mechanism of a body that you're experiencing.
 
As a general rule, have a NuPlus of Vitashake in the mid afternoon between lunch and supper.  This is usually when we go the longest between meals.  Have a Sunbar and a fortune delight with some stevia in here too.  This will help regulate our blood sugars, lower stress levels and help get a  handle on cravings. 
 
NuPlus, Vitashake, Sunbars and Stevia to the rescue.  Remember what I said about quick, easy and convenient?  Well, 7-eleven doesn't carry them, but you should!  Part of taking responsibilty for your health.
 
Q: What should I do if I really wanted that pizza and I ate it anyway?
 
A: Slim Caps and Fortune Delight!  Slim caps are part of the Sunrider Weight Management Program.  They help squeeze fat out of the body.  They're really good for the liver too and a lot of people say they're a lot calmer when eating them.  Slim caps really help keep you regular and speed transit time of foods through the colon so we won't constipate ourselves. 
 
I highly recommend WAITING at least 2 months before starting on Slim caps and EASING INTO THEM.  Your body needs to be ready for them and at least 2 months of the basic program should be eaten consistently.  If you can consume at least 1 ten pack of evergreen before starting Slim caps, that would be great too.  When starting Slim caps, I recommend starting with 1 cap a day in the morning with a meal.  The bottle recommends 6 caps with meals.  Start with 1, trust me.  then the second week, double it to two, then the third week, two in the am, 1 with lunch, etc etc. Find a comfortable balance for you.  Make sure you're not camping when you start them and that you're near a bathroom (lol)  See Slim caps joke below
 
Drink lots of fortune delight with any meal that you feel was not in your body's best interest.  Fortune Delight helps flush fat out of the body and works very well with Slim Caps and Action caps / Vitalite Caps.  It's recommended that we drink at least 5 to 7 packets of FD when on the Vitalite program (more on that in the next newsletter).  I drink 5 to 7 packets of FD throughout my day. I drink it both hot and cold, but mostly cold. 
 
So.. with pizza?  Slim Caps and Fortune delight!
 
Q: What can I do to make Calli taste better?  What's this scum / film on top of the water?
 
A: Calli tastes much better with pure water.  Use distilled water with your calli and it will taste much more natural.  Calli nourished the cleansing system which is like haveing an internal shower every time you drink it.  You wash the outside of your body right?  Wash the inside too!  Calli doest do anything, but rather nourishes that system then that sytem takes care of itself. The chinese are amazing.  The scum  you see forming on the top of the calli is the result of it taking the impurities out of the water.  This does not happen in distilled water.  I've always said, "the better your water, the better your life". I have done lots of research on various water types and have heard all the sides pertaining to which is better for you.  Distilled water is pure h2o.  It can really assist in the cleansing process by iteself.
 
Initially Calli can taste funny because as we drink it, it's pulling impurities stored in our mouth out.  Farmers have said Calli tastes like straw and dirt, people on prescription drugs say it tastes chemically.  I found that it pulled THC out of my mouth and I felt like I was stoned the first cup I had.  I have heard another exact story recently from another new, very wonderful and amazing Sunrider.  As this cleansing process goes on, we begin to taste Calli for what it really is.
 
Calli is meant to be steeped for no longer than 10 minutes.  It's not a traditional tea, but rather a whole food formula that is sprayed onto carrier leaves.  Steeping simply warms up the formula which then releases into the water.  Any steeping longer than 10 minutes begins to steep the bitter leaves which is not what we want.  Throw the bag away after 10 minutes and that should improve the taste as well.  Calli is a one bag per use item.  Think of Calli as though you were drinking an organic salad.  It happens to be concentrated, quick, easy and convenient!
 
Q: How can I get my Sunrider foods cheaper?
 
A:what I am about to tell you might be constrived as an effort to have you place a larger order.  In fact the very opposite is true.  I do not want people to order anything they are not comfortable with, nor spend any more money than they are comfortable with.  This is not what this answer is about. I tell people to find their budget, and stick within that budget consistently.  The most important thing you can do in your Sunrider experience is be consistent.  It's like compound interest.  It get better and better with time as you Regenerate!
 
what I am about to tell you is simply based on Sunriders marketing plan and I am making this information available to you in an effort to show you how you can in fact save money.
 
Sunrider pays a bonus to any Distributor when they or their group is responsible for 500SV (sunrider points , Sales Volume) and 1000 SV in any calendar month.
 
this bonus varies depending on company sales for the month as a whole, but averages between 100 and $120 dollars US, or about $200 Canadian.
 
500SV is about $600 US worth of product ( $1000 Canadian). 
 
some people eat this amount in a month, some people order enough for two months to get the bonus and save the money.  If you're at 400 SV, you can place an order for another 100 SV and it's free (sort of).  The bonus comes on your cheque in the next month.  Remember also, this 500SV is you and your group. If you order 100SV and you have 4 friends who also order 100SV, the total is 500SV.  All your food just became free as the bonus pays for your own 100SV order.
 
Here's the math:
500SV order, investment: $600 US, $1000 CAD
rebate the following month:
1 BDB bonus for ~$120 US, or $200 CAD
plus 5% back on total SV ordered, so $25 US, $40ish CAD.
 
what's that work out to in percentage saved?  My math sucks.
 
In order to get the BDB (business development bonus), you have to be a distributor.  Customers do not benefit from this order strategy.  If you do order 500SV as a customer, you can upgrade your account before the end of the month of that order and you will receive your bonus.
 
Sunrider works on a calendar month.  The 500 SV must come within a calendar month.
 
now.. that said, Dr Chen has introduced an incentive to customers where by customers who order 300SV cumulative over October, November and December can upgrade to Distributor for free.  Sunrider has made a change to their marketing plan and introduced another way to join.  What we knew as distributor is now called a "Preferred Customer".  A preferred customer can participate in the BDB bonus's and save the money.
 
if you want to know how much SV you've ordered in Oct, just ask me or sunrider and we'll tell you. 
 
So once again, you can upgrade to Preferred Customer for free, from customer if you've ordered a total of 300SV in October, nov, and Dec.  100SV a month for the three months for example.
 
this is fyi only, in an interest to help save money on products.
