Getting started with the Young Living Weight Loss Trio seems like a great way to kickoff the swim suit season.

Just three oils are needed and two of them are in the Premium Kit #WIN! These three are one the inexpensive side too and also have a TON of other uses.

Weight Loss Trio Supplies are easy!

• 1 Bottle Lemon Essential Oil (Make sure it’s food grade!)
  Lemon helps with detox. (See more uses below)
• 1 Bottle Peppermint Essential Oil Peppermint helps flush fat.
• 1 Bottle Grapefruit Essential Oil Grapefruit helps kickstart metabolism**

(**If you take high blood pressure medication you should not use the grapefruit either in oil for or juice)

Carrier Oil – Your choice of organic grapeseed oil or olive oil

Clear capsules

If this is your first time using your oils, or if you have only used them for a short time these are the instructions I’m following.

Day 1-3: One drop of Lemon, one drop of Peppermint, and one drop of Grapefruit (if you are using it) in a capsule then fill the rest of the capsule with a carrier oil. Take 1 capsule in the morning first thing with at least 8 oz of water, 30 minutes (at least) before breakfast.

Day 4-7: Continue with one drop of each oil, but increase and take another capsule in the evening again with 8 oz of water.

If you have been using your oils for a little while (say a couple of months), then you may wish to start with 2 drops of each oil in a capsule 2x/day.

Wherever you are starting from – if you pre-make your capsules, make sure you freeze or refrigerate the capsules in a glass jar. If they sit out the capsules will dissolve.

I’m a newbie to oils so I’ll be doing the 3 oils with probably a little of the citrus fresh thrown in because I really adore both the smell and the taste of it in my water.

  Does it matter if you drink the weight loss trio or put it in a capsule?

This question comes up a bunch! It doesn’t really matter if you put the essential oils in a capsule or drink them with water, however from experience I can tell you, doing the capsule twice a day is just much easier and you are less likely to forget. Or do what I do.. in the morning I have my Oily Smoothie with the citrus oils in it and put the peppermint drops in my giant glass of water every morning. Then before dinner, I take my capsule. The important part is being consistent.

CITRUS FRESH ESSENTIAL OIL – Economical Slimming Help

An even more economical essential oils weight loss regimen was mentioned in this testimonial for using the Citrus Fresh both in water and topically as it contains both Grapefruit, Lemon along with Orange (Citrus aurantium), tangerine (Citrus nobilis), Mandarin (Citrus reticulata), grapefruit (Citrus paradisi), lemon (Citrus limon), and spearmint (Mentha spicata).

You can diffuse, drink in your water, (I’ve been doing that for over a week.. it’s YUMMY!) or put it in capsules with the carrier oil.

Citrus Fresh Vitality Essential Oil Uses:

• Citrus Fresh Vitality tastes great, but it also makes a great dietary supplement! Just add 1–2 drops to a vegetarian gel capsule and take as needed.
• Keep hydrated by giving your daily intake of water a burst of flavor. Infuse your water by adding 2–3 drops to a glass or bottle of water.
• Add 1–2 drops to every 2 oz. of your favorite fruit and vegetable juices or NingXia Red. Drink each day or whenever you’re looking for a quick burst of nutrients and flavor.

Ingredients

Citrus aurantium dulcis† (Orange) peel oil, Citrus reticulata† (Tangerine) peel oil, Citrus paradisi† (Grapefruit) peel oil, Citrus limon† (Lemon) peel oil, Citrus nobilis† (Mandarin orange) peel oil, Mentha spicata† (Spearmint) leaf extract

As always, check with your doctor to make sure that these essential oils don’t conflict with anything you are already doing or any medications you are taking and start slow. 1 drop of each in a capsule to start as these are powerful little drops of goodness and they are working to detox and for me have helped me get past my sweets craving that overtakes all sense during the holidays.

You can just put them in water twice a day too, but some don’t like the flavor. That’s totally up to you and I’ve been putting Citrus Fresh in my water for about a week now and am loving it AND the fact that it’s helping me drink more water.

I’m just starting too so feel free to post any questions about this on the Facebook page and I’ll do my best to get back to you. DO make sure your oils are food grade. Not all of them are, in fact, many of them sold in the health food stores are only 5-10% essential oil and the rest fillers. Many of them are just made for scent and just don’t pack the punch that Young Living Oils do both in a diffuser, topically or ingested.
