Yes, slimming.
This love-hate relationship I have with this topic.
I’ve been wanting to blog about this for awhile now but I’ve been so busy… but well, here’s my chance. For the past 3 months, I’ve been on this slimming program by NuSkin called The Right Approach (TRA).
This program costs S$2,000 and it involves the following on a daily basis:
- 6 pills before breakfast
- 4 pills (Lifepak supplement) after breakfast
- 6 pills before lunch
- 6 pills around 4-5pm
- Replace dinner with Trimshake and 3 pills
- 4 pills (Lifepak supplement) after dinner
Yup, that’s 29 pills every single day for 3 whole months. I’m at my last week of the program and I have lost 6KG so far. I have seen significant changes in my body shape and I can actually wear a dress that I had to LITERALLY squeeze into 3 months ago.
While all of these feel good, my biggest worry is keeping this weight OFF when I’m off this program and eating normally again.
But well, we’ll know soon enough.
While on this program, I can eat normally except to cut down on carbo intake, and avoid food with high fat contents (fried stuff) and no chocolate (my fav!).
What makes the TRA program different is that it helps to burn all the fat that surrounds your organs. Those that are the most difficult to burn off even with regular exercise. I also had a test taken that showed the fat and muscle % in my body and my fat % was so much higher than my muscle %! I had to do something! Besides, I have a colleague who took it and lost 12kg! o.O!! And another who lost 10kg!! Both guys.
Well, we’ll see! If you have any questions, feel free to comment below or head on over to my Facebook Page.

Hi Ivy,
sorry for this late reply. :)
Ok my answers:
I only lost 5KG overall for 3 months. But those 5 kg is very crucial cos I could never shed those stubborn 5 kg before. When I first got on the program, I was already eating crazy healthy and exercising a lot. So I always thought that my starting weight was already my best. Those 5 KG helped me get back to where I was when I left secondary school weight.
For the guy that lost 12KG, he used to be a LOT skinnier so he really put on a lot of weight in 2-3 years. Those 12KG loss made him back to where he was 2-3 yrs back. After ending the program, he did put on a bit of weight back.
For the guy who lost 10KG, he plays soccer and golf a lot. During the program, he didnt have as much energy to execise so much but he still did. He sometimes ate banana to up his energy level during the program.
What do you mean by how to consume the milk shake during lunch? I always replace my lunch with milk shake. :)
Hope this helps!

Good luck! :)
$2K’s pretty expensive……how does the stuff taste?
Author
it is but i think its worth it. when u pay 2K, u become really determined. how it tastes like becomes a smalll small smalllll factor already haha
it taste chocolately the drink. but after 2 months of drinking it once a day every, u do get real sick of it :)
Wah 2k is too ex!!! I’m trying USANA’s meal replacement & the supplements which pretty much works the same way as the Nuskin one but more effective coz its only 5 days.. 5 days lose 2kg.. then detox for 1 mth continue to lose..
Hi,
I noticed the cost you provided is some time back. Do you know what’s the cost of this program now?
Thanks

hi Alice I got it from a friend whom I don’t keep in touch with anymore. Sorry!
Hi, this is Kelly.
I just read your blog. Thanks for providing the info. I was currently on TRA for 11/2 months. I did lost 6cm off my waist and 3 kg of fats. I was unable to lose those fats even after seeing a medical doctor for help. After I gave birth to my son for 11 months, I still unable to wear back my shoes . Tks to TRA, I did manage to. I am not the very discipline type because during the program, I still occasionally eat ice cream and stuff but I still manage to lose some weight. I still have 11/2 month to go, I will do it properly to get even better result. Haha.
Hi ju Ann, I got tra, but stopped half way, am wanting to continue and complete my program, do you have a routine and the combination of the pills that you take with your meals or with the shake? How do I get in touch with you, thanks!
