IBOAI  Expresses Support for New Trim Body System Launched By Quixtar Inc.

 

BizNess Comment: The IBO is respresented by an IBO elected board to represent the business owners affilitated with Quixtar. 

 

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Nov. 29, 2004 – The Independent Business Owners Association International (IBOAI) announced its support of the Trim Body System launched by Quixtar Inc., which supports the efforts of the thousands of Independent Business Owners (IBOs) who comprise membership of the IBOAI (www.IBOAI.com).

“We believe the Trim Body System launched by Quixtar this week will provide exciting new opportunities for IBOs across the U.S. and Canada,” said Fred Harteis, 2004 President of the IBOAI.  “Weight management is a booming industry and the collection of products and expertise Quixtar pulled together in this system provides an outstanding platform from which IBOs can operate.”

The Trim Body System, which launches this week at www.Quixtar.com, was developed by The Better Life Institute (BLI) in partnership with the Nutrilite Health Institute (NHI).  The system is supported by the research of respected nutritionists who recommend smaller meal portions, eating regularly to fuel metabolism, consuming less refined and processed foods and more high-quality proteins, fruits, vegetables, and “good” fats, and adhering to a schedule that includes regular exercise. 

Trim Body System is a complete weight management system designed to support a commitment to a healthy lifestyle.  Included in the Trim Body System Kit is:

·         Quick Start Guide to the Protein Plus Diet, handy cards that provide recipes, meal plans, and fitness tips, and more.

·         DVD set including “Managing Your Weight” with Dr. Duke Johnson, Medical Advisor, NHI; the ten minute a day “4-3-2-1 Body Training System” with Sean Foy, Health & Fitness Advisor, NHI; and “The Trim Body System” with Ted Walters, Associate Director, BLI.

·         Trim Advantage® Protein Bars and Sugar Free Drink Mix

·         Nutrilite® Protein Powder, Trim Advantage shaker cup, and daily packets of Nutrilite® supplements that support weight-loss efforts.

 

 Billy Florence, IBOAI Vice President, said the new system provides an opportunity for IBOs to reach out to new audiences.  “This system can help IBOs reach out to people they know who are struggling with their weight and looking for a product that can help them bring it under control,” he said.  “Interest in the Trim Body System and the products that we offer that can help manage your weight could also lead to interest in the business opportunity Quixtar provides, which leads to potential business growth for IBOs.”

Since weight loss and fitness goals can be hard to reach without support, Quixtar has developed an online experience to augment the Trim Body System Kit.  The free, interactive Web experience is designed to motivate and encourage with daily motivational messages, recipes, and diet and exercise tips.
