Unlike many of the available weight loss programs, the Venus Factor Diet is specially designed for women. Designed to work with their unique metabolisms and body shapes. And with the bonus exercise videos that are easy to follow (and can be done in the comfort of your own home), the Venus Factor provides a unique opportunity not just to lose weight but to reshape your body so you feel and look fabulous.
Why specially for women?
Women’s metabolisms work differently from those of men and their body fat to muscle ratios are different too. The research behind the Venus Factor system has shown that a key factor in weight loss and regulation is the hormone leptin. This is a fairly recently identified hormone (1995) and studies have shown that it is the master hormone regulating fat loss.
Women have approximately twice as much leptin in their bodies as men so this means they require a nutrition and exercise plan designed to work with this. Because of these higher levels of leptin, when women diet they can experience really low leptin lows and this is the reason they have feelings of hunger and cravings for carbs. The Venus Factor Diet is designed to balance out and prevent sudden drops in the levels of leptin, thus dispensing with those cravings and hunger pangs.
How does it work?
The Venus Factor is ultimately about counting calories but what’s different here is that the Venus Factor Virtual Nutritionist (VFVN) tells you how many calories and how many grams of protein you should eat each day of the program. And those amounts do differ so the levels aren’t set at the beginning and left untouched, but are changed so that you get some variety.
In order to set the calorie levels for you, the VFVN requires you to take some measurements (height, weight, waist etc) and input some data (age, amount of exercise normally taken). It will advise you of two calorie amounts: the first is the minimum number of calories to eat in order to maximise weight loss. The second is the calories you need to eat each day in order to maintain your existing weight. The program explains that so long as you are eating below the maintenance level, you will lose weight so you can – but don’t have to – go down to the minumum and still lose body fat.
What about exercising?
You will lose body fat if you follow the Venus Factor program but if you want to shape up and show off a toned new body, then you’ll need to follow the exercise program too. These are in download format on the Venus Factor website and you can download to your smartphone to take with you to the gym or do at home. The great thing about the exercises are that you can do them in the privacy of your own home if you’re not too happy about showing off any wobbly bits in public.
