The BellaBeat Leaf Health Tracker is here!

Before we chat about the awesome functionality of this device, can we please take a moment to appreciate its utter gorgeousness! I mean wow. The BellaBeat Leaf Health Tracker is totally stunning and does not look like a fitness tracker at all. To be honest, I would feel like a bit of a fool wearing your typical fitness tracker – I only picture super fit and slender people sporting those. But BellaBeat Leaf looks like jewellery. A beautiful piece of jewellery that comes in two designs (BellaBeat Leaf and Leaf Urban) and various colours.

But what makes this tracker truly amazing is the fact that it’s not just a fitness tracker. Nope. This device is a health tracker that allows for an holistic approach to keeping tabs on your health.

BellaBeat Leaf

Leaf is a health tracker that tracks your activity, hydration levels, sleep patterns and your period! AND it can even predict stress and offers guided meditation.

The benefits that this device offers is SO much more than your average tracker:

ACTIVITY TRACKING: Track your steps taken, active minutes and calories burned.

SLEEP MONITORING: Monitor the duration and the quality of your sleep.

SMART ALARMS: Wake up each morning with a vibrating alarm, and stay active by setting an inactivity alert.

GUIDED MEDITATION : Discover relaxing meditation exercises that help you unwind.

STRESS PREDICTION : Learn how your lifestyle habits affect your stress sensitivity.

REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH: Get an overview of your monthly cycles and fertile days.

NO CHARGING: Leaf runs on a 6-month replaceable battery (coin battery).

VERSATILITY: Wear as a necklace, bracelet or a clip.

WIRELESS SYNCING: Sync wirelessly to your Leaf app. All the information syncs with the app by just tapping your Leaf – so no cables for charging or syncing.

I think everything you’ve read so far explains exactly why I want a Leaf. The benefits and features are amazing. And those of you who are familiar with my weight loss story know my struggles. But it isn’t just about losing weight anymore. It’s about my health. I want to be here for many years to come and I would love to have a Leaf help me focus more on my health and getting my butt into shape.

The Leaf retails for R2599 to R3249.

The Slender Challenge: 6 week weigh-in

I hit the half way mark of the Slender Challenge and it’s been tough. This challenge is not easy. Well, has losing weight ever been easy?! I’ve had my fair share of cravings and temptations and it’s been hard, but I have stuck to the plan (as best I could at times) and I am so happy with my results.

The slender challenge

I had my 6 week weigh-in on Friday, and…

14 kgs down in 6 weeks!!

Can you believe it?! I sometimes can’t. It’s been hard work, and I still have at least 10 kgs to go, but I feel great. And I don’t look too bad either, if I do say so myself. I had to go jeans shopping this morning as my current pairs look horrible om me. 6 weeks ago they were too snug and extremely uncomfortable. Now they are almost falling off!

I want to thank Body Renewal for the Slender Challenge and for the chance to change my life. This time WILL be the last time!

Here’s a quick recap of the program I’m following:

Body Renewal Weight Loss Program

  • It is a medical weight loss program which specifically targets abnormal and resistant fat, which results in slimming and shaping of the body.
  • A highly professional team lead by a medical doctor assesses every patient.
  • In this consultation your medical history will be evaluated.
  • The doctor will then decide whether any blood tests are necessary.
  • A team of registered nurses supports each patient in their weight loss journey to ensure the best results are obtained.

The program is based on improving sensitivity to Leptin and has four components:

  • a low GI diet
  • Weight loss supplements / nutraceuticals in the form of capsules and powder,
  • a daily meal replacement with a low GI health shake
  • Daily injections of a lipotropic substance (HCG) that targets and releases abnormal fat in the body.

If the program is strictly adhered to patients lose between 8 to 10 kilograms a month for women, 10 to 15 kilograms a month for men, generally find it quite easy, and feel good with high energy levels. In fact, depressed patients have mood elevation as the Leptin levels “Kick in” 7 days into the program. Many of our patients have tried numerous other well-known diets but find this to be the magic one that actually works.

Head on over to the Slender Blog to see how the other contestants are doing. I am so proud of us all!
