BATTERY DISPOSAL:
Batteries should not be considered as regular garbage. As consumer you are
obliged to return finished batteries. The finished batteries can be returned to
a collection base at your residential area or at places where batteries can be bought.
WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF ALCALI-MANGAN BA TTERIES.
You will find these symbols on batteries,
which contain harmful substances:
Pb = Battery contains lead
Cd = Battery contains cadmium
Hg = Battery contains mercury Pb Cd Hg

OwnerÕs Manual
13
This is the stage where you put the effort in. After regular use, the muscles in your legs will become
more flexible. Work at your own pace and be sure to maintain a steady tempo throughout. The rate of
work should be sufficient to raise your heartbeat into the target zone shown on the graph below.
This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes
though most people start at about 15-20 minutes.
3. The Cool-Down Phase
This stage lets your cardio vascular system and muscles wind down. This is a repeat of the warm up
phase. First, reduce your tempo and continue at this slower pace for approximately 5 mintues before
you get off your Exercise Bike. The stretching exercises should now be repeated, again remembering
not to force or jerk your muscles into the stretch.
As you get fitter, you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least three times
a week, and if possible to space your workouts evenly throughout the week.
MUSCLETONING
To tone muscle while on your RACINGBIKE you will need to have the resistance set quite high.
This will put more strain on your leg muscles and may mean you cannot train for as long as you would
like. If you are also trying to improve your fitness you may need to alter your training program.
You should train as normal during the warm up and cool down phases, but towards the end of the
exercise phase you should increase the resistance making your legs work harder. You will have to
reduce your speed to keep your heart rate in the target zone.
WEIGHTLOSS
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work, the more
calories you will burn. This is effectively the same as if you were training to improve your fitness, the
difference being the goal.
OwnerÕs Manual
12
Using your Orbitrek Elite will provide you with several benefits. It will improve your physical fitness,
tone your muscles and in conjunction with a calorie controlled diet, help you lose weight.
1. The Warm-Up Phase
This stage helps get the blood flowing around the body and the muscles working properly. It will also
reduce the risk of cramp and muscle injury. It is advisable to do a few stretching exercises as shown
below. Each stretch should be held for approximately 30 seconds. Do not force or jerk your muscles
into a stretch. If it hurts, STOP.
2. The Exercise Phase

Grasp the handlebars, then switch the handlebars to and
fro in tandem to move along with the pedals, do elliptical
cycle movement. Your Orbitrek Elite has reversable
movement. Forward pedalling emphasizes your
quadriceps muscle (front thighs), while backwards
pedalling emphasizes your hamstrings (back thighs).
Remember, if you want to change your movement
direction, stop movement first.
Start Position
Stand on the left side of the bike, grasp the handlebars (under the
handlebar end caps about 100mm), then stride your left leg, place your
left foot on the left pedal, then stride your right leg, place your right foot on
the right pedal, adjust your hands and stand pose to a comfortable position.

diagnose or treat any illness or medical condition should come under the
s u p e rvision of a qualified physician familiar with your personal
medical history.
The information contained in this book, and the Weight Loss System
described herein, are intended for use by normally healthy individuals as
p a rt of a general program of improvement of body appearance.
CHECK WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE STA RTING ON THIS OR ANY
PROGRAM OF PHYSICAL CHANGE.
FOOD and HOW TO CONTROL IT
DOS
1) ALWAYS BALANCE WHAT YOU EAT-- so that your intake of complex
carbohydrates approximately matches your intake of protein. You may do this by
simply estimating the quantity of the foods you are eating. Example: if you have a dish
full of pasta in front of you (high carbs) then you need to balance it with what you
approximate to be an equal amount (by volume or better, by weight) of high protein
food.
COMPLEX CARBOHYDRA TES:PROTEIN:
• Brown rice • Boneless skinless turkey breast
• Yams • White meat chicken
• Grits • Egg whites
• White potatoes • Pork tenderloin
• Sweet potatoes • Canned tuna packed in water
• Oatmeal • Nonfat dairy products
• Oat bran • Shrimp
• Corn • Eye of round steak
• Whole grain breads • Cod
• Whole grain pastas • Flounder
• Shredded wheat • Haddock
• Cream of rice cereal • Scrod
• Black-eyed peas • Halibut
• Lima beans • Sirloin
• Black beans • Canned white meat chicken in water
• White beans • Fat free turkey or chicken breast deli slices
• Pinto beans
2) DRINK PLENTY OF WATER!Try to drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water or
more each day. It is usually best to use bottled spring or distilled water, since the
water in most areas today is heavily treated with chlorine and other unhealthful
chemicals.
3)Eat plenty of fibrous vegetables and leafy greens, they are the BEST possible
foods to eat! And remember not to ruin things for yourself by adding oily salad
dressings, mayonnaise, or sour cream!
4) Make a conscious effort to cut down on portion sizes. It’s amazing how, when
your plate is heaping with food, from edge-to-edge, you will probably eat until there
is not a speck left. Instead, only put half as much food on your plate as you normally
would. Take your time eating so that you are not the first one finished. If everyone is

6Weeks “To a NewYou” Food Guide 6 Weeks “To a New You” Food Guide
3029
still eating, the temptation to go back for seconds is too great even if you are satisfied.
Now, if you find that you are still truly hungry, by all means go back for seconds but
ask yourself if you’re still hungry or if you are getting seconds out of habit.
5)Avoid snacking unless it is a planned snack to count toward your servings.
DON’TS
1)Don’t go on repeated diets, each of which usually sets you up to regain
everything you lose, and then some, just as soon as you “go off” your diet. Instead,
follow the simple guidelines below.
2)Reduce the fats and oils you eat. This is by far the most important rule to
remember, and it cannot be overemphasized. The words “added fats and oils” have
a very specific and special meaning here, referring to all those unnatural fats and
oils that humans manufacture, process, and add to the food they eat.
It is very important to reduce ALL added fats and oils, not just because they’ll
make you fat, but because they’ll also make you sick, linked as they are to such dis-
orders as breast and colon cancers, heart disease, and other serious illnesses.
Cutting back on added fats and oils means reducing:
•Margarine,
•Mayonnaise,
•Olive oil,
•Butter,
•Oily salad dressings,
•Chips of all kinds (unless they’re baked),
•Fried foods,
•French fries,
• Cream cheese,
•Ice cream,
•Lard,
•and any other manufactured fat or oil.
If you don’t like salads without dressing — try lemon juice and a little olive oil.
It’s delicious! Or... try any of the oil-free salad dressings now widely available.
All the above-listed items are horrible for you. But the hydrogenated products
such as margarine, mayonnaise, and all heated fats and oils are the worst, as they
are high in trans fats, substances that form when fat or oil is heated or heavily
processed. Trans fats are directly implicated in the onset and/or exacerbation of
obesity, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Avoid these “foods” at all costs.
3)Avoid processed foods high in sugar and white flour. Check your labels and
do not eat anything that has too much of these items in the ingredient list, as they
too contribute to obesity and ill health.
FOOD PREP ARATION
This subject could fill a book all by itself. The essential point to remember is, once
again, to reduce added fats and oils! Do not fry with oil. Use non-stick pans and fry
with water or non-fat chicken broth. A little experimentation and you’ll see how easy
this is. Also remember that any menu that contains oil, butter or margarine can eas-
ily be made as well or nearly as well without those ingredients. You must experiment
to apply this concept to every one of your favorite recipes, but the reward for doing
so is very high. It will mean better and better health as well as greater and greater
success.
FOOD TIMING
The best way to arrange your food day is to spread out your daily intake into sev-
eral meals, as opposed to eating, say, one large meal per day. Studies have shown that
when two comparable groups of people eat the same number of calories but on dif-
ferent schedules, the group that eats one large meal per day tends to gain weight and
feel worse, while the group that spreads its calories out during the day tends to feel
better and not gain weight.
The typical large dinner with which most people are familiar is problematic
because the natural daily rhythms of the body are such that evening is when it is
preparing for rest, not a large meal. More importantly, food eaten late in the day is
much more likely to be converted to stored body fat. So eat a light meal for dinner
— a piece of grilled chicken, brown rice, and vegetable - just watch the portion size.
Remember: food eaten this late will almost certainly be converted to body fat; and
body fat, once accumulated, comes off much slower, and with much greater difficul-
ty, than it goes on - a fact with which many people are already familiar.
Always eat breakfast. A cup of cream of wheat, shredded wheat, oatmeal, or an egg
white omelet is a great way to start the day. It fuels the body and mind, giving you
that extra bit of energy necessary to meet today’s challenges. Whatever you do don’t
skip this most important meal.
In addition to breakfast, lunch, and dinner be sure to eat a small snack midmorn-
ing, and another between lunch and dinner.
WHEN TO EA T; WHEN TO STOP
Naturally thin people typically follow both of these two simple patterns:
1) Eat only when hungry; and
2) Stop eating when no longer hungry.
This is how primitive man ate, a good indication that it is the way nature intend-
ed. Most of us have been conditioned to eat when it’s time to eat: lunchtime, dinner-
time, breakfast. But the truth is that it is far more natural to eat when you’re hungry.

6Weeks “To a NewYou” Food Guide 6 Weeks “To a New You” Food Guide
3231
That means truly hungry, not just craving food. As much as possible, try to follow this
simple but powerful principle of eating.
The second timing principle - to stop eating when you’re no longer hungry - is also
very powerful, but may contradict some childhood training. Remember the saying
“Eat! Children are starving somewhere...”
That may be true, but it is certainly no reason to stuff yourself. Childhood lessons
are not always good ones. The most natural time to stop eating is when you’re full,
which is, surprisingly, not what most of us do. This principle means that you should
stop even if 95% of the food is still left on your plate or if only 5% is left. It doesn’t
matter. The amount of food on the plate is of no importance; it is completely arbitrary
and irrelevant to your body’s needs. What is important is only how you feel. If you’re
satisfied... if the hunger is gone... STOP.
RESTAURANT EATING
This is a particularly troublesome area. Restaurants, for some unknown reason,
love oil and butter. Even simple salads are drowned in truly ridiculous amounts of oil.
Vegetables are cooked in butter and topped off with more butter before being brought
to the table.
Food freshness is also an area of concern. Fish, poultry and meat, in descending
order, are most likely to be problematic. Be careful. Ask plenty of questions, particu-
larly about freshness. If there is any reason to believe your food is not fresh, order
something else, or leave.
When ordering in a restaurant follow these simple rules:
• Always ask how much oil or butter is in the dish(es) you wish to order.
• Insist that the dish(es) you want be made without oil, or butter or, at worst, a
very small amount.
• Refuse any offer of sprinkled cheese to go over your food.
• Order salads with vinegar dressing only, or lemon wedges that you can squeeze
onto the salad. If you must order dressing from the house, get one that separates, like
vinaigrette, so that you can pour off the oil that floats on top, using only the tasty part
below the oil. Or bring your own, healthful salad dressing.
• Never order anything that is deep fried! Remember to ask about this, because
there are many more foods that are deep fried than is obvious from most menus. For
example, Italian restaurants often deep fry their “eggplant parmigiana.”
• Avoid creamy foods. Many dishes that are normally prepared with cream are just
as tasty without it. Ask the kitchen to prepare it the way you want it.
• Order a salad first, the larger the better, and ask that it be brought out immedi-
ately. Avoid the oily/creamy dressings, and eat the salad as soon as it comes out.
• Say ‘no’ to the rolls and butter.
• Try to resist the temptation to order dessert. If you must do so, get one that is
as close to “real recognizable food” as you can get. A cup of fruit, or a fruit tart may
do. In any event, avoid the creamy cakes and pies.
• In general, do not be afraid to ask for what you want. If they say “no”, say “good-
bye.” There are plenty of restaurants that will be only too happy to accommodate you,
so don’t put up with anything less than what you know is right for yourbody.
DEVELOP A GAME PLAN FOR
BETTER HABITS
During the next few weeks you are going to try to become aware of any bad eating
habits and substitute them with good habits. Most of us are so busy or preoccupied
that we aren’t even aware of the things we can easily change which will go a long way
in helping us achieve long term weight loss.
Week 1- I will eat regularly. Most people skip meals because they think this is the
way to lose weight. Actually the opposite happens. Instead of losing weight your body
goes into starvation mode and hangs onto every calorie, especially the fat grams,
because it doesn’t know when it will be nourished again. As a result you slow down
your metabolism. Then, of course, you become so hungry the tendency is eat the first
thing that is handy and to eat too much of it.
Benefit:By doing this you will help to speed up your metabolism, feel more
energetic, and reduce your appetite.
Week 2- I will eat slowly and will allow at least 20 minutes for each meal or 10
minutes for snacks. Keep in mind that it takes the brain a good 20 minutes to sense
that your stomach is full. That’s why you often feel very full after eating a very large
meal quickly- the brain didn’t have ample time to sense that the stomach was full and
you ate beyond what your body needed.
Benefit: You will feel more satisfied with smaller food quantities and eat less than
those who eat fast.
Week 3- I will not allow social situations to dictate what I eat or how much I eat.
Benefit - By taking back control of how you react in social circumstances you will
also be empowering yourself in other areas as well which will contribute to
better self-esteem.
Week 4- Plan ahead. Try to start thinking of what you will be eating the next day
or even the next week. This way you will never be taken off guard. Actually plan the
next day’s meals.
Benefit: You are more likely to stay on your program and then turn it into a real
lifestyle change. Without a true lifestyle change it is very hard to maintain this
program for the rest of your life which is the real key to keeping your weight and

6Weeks “To a NewYou” Food Guide 6 Weeks “To a New You” Food Guide
3433
health where you want it.
Week 5- Keep problem food out of the house. The old adage - out of sight out of
mind - is true. If you know you and ice cream are inseparable, simply do not have it
in the house. Have other treats that are healthier instead.
Benefit: When you do have the occasional ice cream you will enjoy it so much
more.
Week 6- Do not let yourself be around people who will pull you down. You need
all the support you can get. Negative people or people who do not take what you are
doing seriously will hamper your results. If there are people in your life who are
sabotaging your efforts then you need to ask yourself if they are true friends. A true
friend will be supportive and stand by your efforts to succeed.
CHEATING (Indulging)
Yes, you are going to slip once in a while. It’s OK as long as you don’t use it as an
excuse to revert to your old eating habits. Just get back on track with your next meal.
Don’t feel guilty, Just remind yourself how well you’ve been doing and give yourself a
pat on the back for coming so far. Learn to reject your old, bad ways — to renew your
dedication to yourself and to the new body and health you are determined to achieve.
HOW TO HELP PREVENT CRA VINGS
BREAK THE CYCLE!
• Food quality: This is the most important factor you can change in the area of
negative food cycles. Avoid all junk food. Avoid all foods that trigger cravings. Avoid
all added highly processed foods. Eat real, recognizable food.
• Avoid all added fats: Added fats and oils can (a) make you fatter faster than
anything else you can do or eat, (b) increase your risk of heart disease and cancer, and
(c) can cause you to crave sweets.
• Avoid sugar: Refined white sugar (table sugar) is damaging to your health in
many ways, and can (a) directly cause weight gain, and (b) cause cravings for fats that
will further cause weight gain.
• Drink plenty of water: This is an easy, healthful way to help avoid cravings.
Often, a perceived craving for food, particularly fatty food, may be satisfied with a cup
or two of water! Drinking plenty of water also helps to naturally control appetite
through a direct effect on the stomach. Always drink pure, fresh water; avoid tap
water laden with chlorine and other chemicals. Aim for at least 6-8 cups of water per
day.
• Try brushing your teeth instead of eating! Often, a craving for a particular food,
especially high-fat, high-sugar food, is caused by something no more complicated
than a bad taste in the mouth.
• Food timing: Do not skip breakfast; this can lead to hypoglycemia and severe
cravings sometime around mid-morning, which may, in turn, cause you to eat
cookies or doughnuts with coffee and sugar, which in turn can set you up for a
roller-coaster blood sugar ride for the rest of the day. Not a good idea.
• Avoid eating anytime within three hours of bedtime. Not eating near bedtime
can help lower your fat levels and can change your eating patterns so that you are
hungrier in the morning, leading you to indeed eat a small-to-moderate breakfast.
This in turn helps control your mid-morning cravings.
• When you need to snack between meals, eat some fresh vegetables, or fat-free
turkey deli slices, or a whole grain (notwhite flour) product, or some fruit.
• Meal size: A pattern of smaller, frequent meals throughout the day is more
conducive to craving control than a pattern of starvation or mild snacking during
most of the day combined with one large (often very large) daily meal. Studies have
also shown that spreading food intake throughout the day helps in the weight loss
effort, while concentrating calories all in one large meal sabotages it.
• Avoid overly salted foods, if they lead to sugar cravings or if you suffer from
kidney disease or high blood pressure.
• Eat slowly: This will help minimize the effect of cravings, because you will find
that you are satisfied sooner than you would be if you were wolfing your food down.
• Vary your diet: Boredom is what causes most people to abandon their weight
loss efforts. Imagine if you ate nothing but carrot sticks and celery or cabbage soup
for every meal. It wouldn’t be too long before you’d be driving into the first
McDonald’s or stopping at the first bakery you saw. There are plenty of great tasting
foods to give you all the variety you need for the rest of your life. Experiment with
herbs and spices and different cooking methods.
• Try the following trick: Carry with you a small pad of paper on which to write
down everything you decide to eat before you actually eat it. This will introduce an
important time delay during which you are writing down what you’re about to do.
There is a good chance you will often find yourself changing your mind.
NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT ATION
It is often thought that a good, balanced diet should contain all the nutrients your
body needs. But in today’s world, with mass food production and soil depletion, it usu-
ally doesn’t. And besides, how many of us really eat a “good, balanced diet”? For these
reasons, and because optimal nutrition is especially important during a period of
active fat metabolism and breakdown, we recommend that a good multi-vitamin-
mineral be taken regularly.

GOOD JUDGMENT
In general, use your good judgment. Do not overdo anything. Keep all nutrition-
al supplementation to levels consistent with what nature intended for the human
body. And look at the ingredient list of any packaged item you put in your mouth.
Look at the source. The maker of a food or food supplement should be a reputable
company, with qualified experts doing the formulations.
IF YOU ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS
Many people who experience this weight loss system meet with complete,
ecstatic success.
If you sense that your results should be different, remember that every human on
this planet is distinct from every other and you are likely to react differently from
anyone else to a given external stimulus. So if by some chance your rate of fat loss
seems too slow, note this important fact:
Everyone loses fat at his or her own individual pace.
Just continue following the system and working out and your goals WILL be
reached. You may simply be one of the few who are “slow reactors.”It may take a bit
longer, but you WILL get there!
Also, you will want to make sure you’re maximizing your success by following the
ENTIRE program outlined here. This is most important for anyone whose initial
results may be slower in coming than others.
