Health and Beauty Tips To Keep Your Body Youthful Looking!

Posted on September 17, 2009 by admin

By John Russell

Your body is your most important asset. Without a healthy body, you will not be able to enjoy your life. For this reason, you need to take care of your body. In these times when everybody is chasing a career, it’s easy to neglect caring for the body. However, it is never too late to make changes in your daily routine and seek ways to achieve a healthy lifestyle. All too often, people don’t realize that the proper maintenance of the body is the key to good health and beauty.

Taking control of your body will also lead to a more youthful appearance. There are many ways to achieve this. Trying to follow some health and beauty tips in the magazines is a great place to start. One of the best tips is to plan a regular exercise routine. The more you exercise, the healthier you will be. If you don’t really have the time for a full exercise routine, you should know that even the slightest physical movement can make a huge difference. For instance, you can choose to use the stairs instead of elevator. Even walking your dog or doing some gardening is some form of exercise. As far as possible, try to add some physical activities in your daily routine. This will keep your body in good shape and reduce the risk of illnesses or diseases.

A good exercise routine does not necessarily mean that you have to join an expensive gym. The most effective way is to set aside at least 30 minutes to perform some form of exercise to burn fat and tone your body. There are exercise DVDs and simple home equipment that you can use. After sometime, you will notice a change in your body and overall health.

Exercise also has an effect on your skin, giving it luster and glow. To maximize the effects of exercise, it’s best that you accompany it with a good healthy eating habit.

Eating healthy food and acquiring proper nutrition plays an important role when it comes to caring for your body. It is best to avoid junk food as well as foods that contain a high level of fat and oil. Healthy food lessens the risk of illness and other health issues. As a result, you will feel better as your energy increases. Regular consumption of healthy food helps to slow down the aging process.

If you want to reduce the process of aging, then it is best to abstain from smoking. Tobacco contains substances that can cause the skin to age. Perpetual smoking will make your skin look dull, thus, increasing your chances of developing wrinkles even if you are not in the stage yet. Quitting smoking has a lot of positive implications. It includes reducing risks of acquiring cancer, lung, and cardiovascular diseases.

Remember that taking care of body will bring positive results. By following good health and beauty tips, you are taking good care of your body. The end result is a healthier and younger body. Start by making changes today and you will feel the difference right away.

How To Restore Natural Health

Posted on September 10, 2009 by admin

Ill health is the accumulation of all the wrong things you have done to your health over the years. For someone who is very ill, it may seem difficult, almost impossible, to restore natural health and get well again.

To restore natural health, you need a vision of good health and wholeness. Repair and recovery from ill health starts at the fundamental body-mind level, instead of just focusing on the disease area itself. Modern medicine’s disease symptomatic treatment usually comes with a hefty price: undesirable and long-lasting side effects. Such treatment is desirable only in emergencies or life-threatening situations. To restore natural health, the preferred treatment is natural healing, with long-term side benefits to rejuvenate both the body and the mind.

Understandably, ill health may make you forget to take care of your body, and thus allowing your body’s functions to further deteriorate. Ill health is no more than imbalances accumulated over years of abuse and neglect. Therefore, the first step to restore natural health is to stop health-destructive habits, thereby placing your body in its original natural state of balance. To restore natural health, you need this first step because once you realize how little it takes to feel well again, you will not want to be sick again. According to Lao Tzu, an ancient Chinese philosopher, “a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step”; so, take your first step, and one step at a time, to restore natural health.

Natural health is more than just an absence of illness: it is how you attune yourself to Nature’s natural laws of balance, expressed by your body’s inner healing intelligence, which allows your body to repair and heal itself. You may start from any level of imbalance, but as long as you proceed on the road of balance, you will eventually arrive at the level of balance of body, mind, and behavior. Attaining that overall harmony, your body’s inner healing intelligence is capable of correcting any physiological imbalance, which is the cause of illness.

Therefore, to restore natural health, stop creating imbalances to your body and mind. For example, do not readily reach out for any over-the-counter drug or even prescription medication to treat your illness. Remember, disease symptomatic treatment does little to eliminate the cause of ill health; at best, it can only delay disease progression. Also, stop ingesting toxins into your body, such as through smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, or eating processed foods.

To restore natural health, focus on your digestive health, which plays a pivotal role in recovery and rejuvenation. Change your eating habits: eating only when you are hungry, and eating the right foods. Good digestive health is natural health.

To sustain repair and recovery, it is important to detoxify your body regularly through fasting, herbs, such as dandelion, licorice, and milk thistle, and vegetables, such as beets and broccoli. Toxins from the environment and the consumption of contemporary foods are a source of imbalance, and they need to be eliminated.

Finally, to restore natural health, you need to consider health in your daily routine to reinforce discipline in your diet and lifestyle, as well as to prevent any relapse. Your daily patterns will contribute to the physiological rhythms that are harmonious with the rhythms of Nature, such as regular exercise, going to bed and getting up early.

Health is the greatest asset of your life. Do not squander it recklessly. Natural health can be restored through natural means of balance and harmony.

Size DOES Matter! Motivation Lessons From A Mosquito

Posted on August 24, 2009 by admin

It is a frailty of the human condition that many people have. Perhaps it is lack of self worth, or a lack of self esteem that drives it – that “I’m just not good enough” persona. For example, how many times have you been to a party, social event or restaurant and felt that you were not up to the same level as all of the “beautiful people” there?

Maybe their suits or dresses were flashier.

Or they were slimmer.

Or their hair was less gray.

Or perhaps these people drove up to the front door and left the keys to their expensive, new Mercedes, BMWs and Cadillacs with the valet attendant while you “self parked” your tired, 10-year-old car w-a-a-a-a-y in the back of the lot so that no one would notice.

Does this mean they are any better or successful than you are?

Of course not!

It all comes down to what I call – THE ATTITUDE OF YOUR MIND. The attitude of your mind affects many things including the expressions of your face, determines the actions you make, impacts your physical health and regulates your life.

At this point many of you, especially those who are “set” in your ways, may ask: “How can I change the attitude of my mind? How can I, after months and years of discouragement and of going through the motions, suddenly conceive and carry out a plan for doing something that will change my current situation and make my life more rewarding?”

The answer is that it can be done, and others just like you have done it.

Even if you consider yourself of AVERAGE ability, you can be successful, independent, free of worry, and be your own master, from this point forward, if you can commit to do these two things.

1) Einstein once defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. How about what you are doing? If you are not getting what you want, when you want it become AND remain forever dissatisfied with what you are doing and your situation today. In other words, shoot for the moon.

2) Develop in your mind a belief that the word IMPOSSIBLE was not intended for you. Build up in your mind the confidence and courage that enables the mind to use its power.

Bette Reese once said, “If you think you are too small to make an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito in the room”.

So in conclusion, here’s the moral of my story to you…

Size DOES matter. Within you, even at this very moment you have the power to take action and make an impact.

It is up to you…

Make Positive Changes For Your Health

Posted on August 13, 2009 by admin

A Positive Attitude Can Lead To Positive Changes

I was browsing through an online magazine the other day and came upon a story that I thought truly illustrated how much our own positive thinking can lead to positive changes here .

The story goes like this:

Positive Thought- A Strong Tool Of Success

Once upon a time there was bunch of tiny frogs that arranged a running competition. The goal was to reach the top of very high tower. A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants.

The race began. Honestly, no one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of tower. You heard statements such as, “They will NEVER make it to the top. Or: Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!”

The tiny frogs began collapsing, one by one, except for those, who in fresh tempo were climbing higher and higher.

The crowd continued to yell, “Its too difficult! No one will make it!”

More tiny frogs got tired and gave up, but one continued higher and higher and higher. This one wouldn’t give up!

At the end, everyone else had given up climbing the tower, except for one tiny frog. After a big effort, he was the only one who reached the top! THEN all the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?

A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal. It turned out…. that the winner was deaf!

Ignore Negative Opinions To Achieve Positive Changes. We all would like to think that we are above allowing others to influence our daily lives, including our goals and aspirations, whatever they may be. When it comes to getting fit , positive changes are the first line of defense.

Here are some great ways to begin to change your thinking:

Make a list of what you want to achieve and keep a journal of your successes. Allow for mistakes, if you slip behind, don’t procrastinate or worry, get up and fix it Listen to yourself, are you giving yourself thoughts that will hinder your goals? Get inspired, read books or watch encouraging stories of people who had similar goals and take inspiration from them. Surround yourself with people who will not bring you down, misery loves company and you could get consumed by that.

Don’t allow yourself to believe that the goals you have set to lose weight or get in shape are out of reach. Close your ears to those that want to bring you down, think positive and positive changes will follow.

3 Simple Techniques to Help You Deal With Stress

Posted on July 25, 2009 by admin

When we are stressed our bodies go on alert and hold on to tension and fatigue. I have researched many ways to help me to relax and de-stress and I found three simple techniques that really helped me, and I hope they help you too.

De-stressor No 1 – Body Attention

Martial arts and yoga practitioners know that where you focus your attention in the body has a big effect on how you feel. It is known as centering and this is how you do it:

start by standing up in a relaxed fashion, with your feet parallel and about shoulder width apart
place one of your hands over your stomach so that the index finger is directly over your navel, now look down to where your ring finger is resting and imagine a point at that level right in the middle of your body. In the martial arts traditions this is the centre of power in your body and is known as the tan-tien in the Chinese tradition.
relax your eyes and let your eyes soften and go into peripheral vision
allow your body to relax, and make sure your knees aren’t locked
keep your attention focused on that central point inside your body and continue to breathe easily and naturally – don’t force it
notice where you are holding tension in your body and just calmly direct your attention to that point and keep breathing.

This level of focus on your body will help you to block out worry, panic and fear. It is also very useful to practice if you suffer from anxiety or panic attacks. You can use it anywhere because the point is in the focus inside the body, you don’t have to be standing still or sitting, Just allow your attention to go 100% to that spot and breathe naturally and easily to help you relax.

De-stressor No 2 – Forming a protective shield

If things seem to be just too much for you to cope with and the thought of coping with just one more thing is unbearable, then this technique can be helpful to distance you from the confusion and chaos that goes on in the outside world. It might seem a little strange, but it does work, so try this:

imagine that you are sitting in the centre of a clear bubble which is acting as a protective shield between you and the outside world.
the bubble is transparent so you can see what is going on, but it is also very, very strong so that everything stressful that happens outside just bounces off and away from you.
as you are safe inside this bubble you are able to stay calm, and relaxed. In fact, the more stressful it is outside, the calmer you are inside.

This exercise works because your unconscious mind doesn’t distinguish between imagination and ‘reality’. This means that if you imagine you are shielded from stress, you will feel exactly as if you are being shielded and protected from it.

If you have to do any public speaking and are feeling nervous, this is also a great technique to heop with that. Just extend the bubble to cover the whole room and let yourself know that nothing outside can get in to disturb your concentration or upset your presentation.

De-stressor No 3 – Become detached

Sometimes in emotionally fraught situations, or if there is an argument or disagreement that is upsetting you, it can be helpful to use this very simple technique to detach or distance yourself from what is going on.

It helps you get a clearer perspective and stay calm by literally allowing yourself to detach and float above the situation. Here’s how it works:

imagine that you are floating up and out of your body, higher and higher, as far up as you feel comfortable and where you are able to look down on yourself.
what you will notice is that the higher up you float, the more detached and calm you will feel.
stay ‘above’ the situation until you feel comfortable enough to gently come back down to earth and releasde yourself fully into the moment.

These are three simple techniques that you can try anytime. I hope they are as effective for you as they have been for me in dealing with stress.

Motivation & The Blues!

Posted on July 14, 2009 by admin

960054_lilly_dot_com While I like to work swiftly with clients toward their outcome, I’ve never been one for what I call the ‘double jeopardy high-five’ motivational approach. Too much of the ‘wahooooooo!’ or ‘Yaaaay goferit!’ makes me want to puke.

I’ve certainly worked with clients who’ve come to me after seeing a ‘wahooo’ coach or attending a ‘wahooo’ seminar or training. And while the initial effect for them was ‘yay!’, like an old plaster peeling off round the edges, they soon plummeted down to earth with a rough bump.

I remember one corporate client telling me she felt more inadequate and unskilled than she did before the seminar. Clearly she was doing something wrong for the seminar not to have worked… which made her feel even worse about herself. Oh pleeeez!

Of course it hadn’t worked because her emotional, psychological and cognitive state was such that she was in a change process. Precipitous ‘wahooo-ing’ lays double-whipped cream over a cake that’s not yet been cooked. Pretty sloppy!

Another corporate client was very clear about what happened. He said he realised he needed to stop papering over cracks and encouraging other people to do so too. When we worked with what he needed it was time out for reflection and chilling as a way forward from his blues.

Down time rather than high up time which, of course, could come later if he chose.

Times of aliveness and dormant times are in fact the rhythm of nature. To our cost, we’ve discovered we’ve impoverished soil by continuously growing on it with artificial fertilisers. Just like the earth, we need time out to reconstitute and develop our potential.

So, be sure your motivation isn’t the hype type which pops like a balloon at the first pin it comes across. Motivation comes from purpose, passion & power… and the process of growth within.

So, what to do if you’re motivation has got up and gone? Here’s some tips…

***Accept it for now!***

It’s normal to have ups and downs. It’s all part of being human… and I just don’t believe anyone who says they’re never down. What?! Never?! If you tell yourself it’s OK and it’s just for now, you’ll be surprised at the inner relief and relaxation you’ll feel.

***Nourish Yourself***

This is a time for pampering. So go for fragrant baths, massage, or listening to inspirational music, or visiting an art gallery. Draw, paint, walk, write, dance… Do whatever it takes for excellent care of you, to give yourself grade A nourishment during this fallow time

***Monitor Your Language***

It’s so easy to fall into talking with negativity and self-abuse language. So monitor what you say to others and, most importantly, what you say to yourself! When you’ve caught yourself at it, reframe what you’ve said. Like, ‘I’m learning to write more courageously’ rather than ‘My writing’s a pile of doo-doo!’

***Vision Buddy***

And, if you haven’t done so already, entrust your vision of how you want things to be to a great buddy. Ask them to gently remind you from time to time what you’re working towards with encouragement and love. Because even in the down time you need to be reminded you’re still moving forward however static it feels!

Then, as all things pass, so will the Summertime Blues. And, like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, you too can spread your wings newly invigorated and motivated from within.

Driving Peace of Mind to Create the Life You Deserve

Posted on July 11, 2009 by admin

1167118_still_life Peace of mind affords you the ability to progress anything you desire with inner contentment and harmony.
When you have peace of mind, you are co-operating with your own internal energy source. This then allows you to express yourself in a unique way, an individual way that reflects your own personality.

Various research organizations around the world have discovered that lack of “Peace of the Mind” over a prolonged period could lead to illnesses such as mental disorders, stress, panic attacks, depression, anxiety, restlessness, sleeplessness and overeating.

In some cases, the prescription has been some “long doses of practical therapy on acquiring peace of mind” without any need for medication. In other cases, depending on the level and intensity of the illness, medication is administered in combination with therapy treatments.

When you are true to yourself, you are producing and emitting a very powerful energy that attracts like bees, because this intelligence within you will glow as “original”, it’s hot and it’s brilliant.

OK, let me just illustrate this with some examples:

We know that all over the world, people generally admire original work, for example, an original painting will be admired closely by those who are interested and highly motivated in this area of work.

The World Famous Mona Lisa painting by Leonardo da Vinci, painted between 1503-1506 is still fascinating to this day, due to the unique and subtle modelling of forms and qualities, which gives it that “original” personal creativity that people love.

And people still admire this creative work with curiosity as to what was going on in the Creators mind when he was painting this masterpiece. It’s not surprising that this admiration for Mona Lisa still goes on, many years after Leonardo’s death in the year 1519.

Another example is the case of entertainment shows like Britain’s Got Talent, America’s Got Talent, which has captured the world all over. These ideas were pure creative thoughts starting from the “Mind at Peace with Itself” of the Creators.

The same would apply to original Music, Creative speeches such as President Obama’s famous Speech in 2004 in Boston, Massachusetts, well before he was elected or any other work that is purely original.

So, the interest generated by those who take time and make the best efforts to create from within is usually Captivating and Magnetic.

For example, if you go back, right back to the principal of anything in life, being creative and true to yourself is fascinating and enjoyable, because you could do it all day without noticing time go by and without strain or anxiety.

Having Peace of Mind to be Creative also captivates other people around you with a sense of encouragement or a feeling of higher aspirations for themselves, knowing that they too can create “peace of mind” and happiness by “enquiring carefully from within”, and then taking the necessary steps to get there.

Peace of Mind takes you to a different level of thought power and sets your mind to discover your own unique personality from within.

So you connect with your inner self in your own special way because this makes it natural to you, even as you go through challenges.

You’ll then appreciate that going through challenges is part of life and as long as you live, you’ll have challenges, so why not co-operate with your inner mind in harmony with yourself, seeking the peace of mind that afford you to fully understand yourself and what you want in life on a deeper level.

You see, some people just drift through life, and then wonder why things just don’t improve in their lives.

All that can change by carefully and gradually getting in tune with your life’s true desires, slowly but steadily.

The exercise of creating “Peace of Mind” should be practiced diligently until “Peace of Mind” is felt from within. Then the habit of maintaining peace of mind should be continued on a daily basis.

In doing this, there must be no mental hurry, strain, or anxiety to the body because when you have peace on your mind in harmony with your inner self, you are connecting with your true inner mind’s desires, understanding that “Peace of Mind” can skyrocket your creative abilities in a magnificent way.

Now, you may ask, how can this process be started when there seems to be so much for people to juggle with in modern day living?

OK, the first thing here is learning how to Relax, so that you can start on a platform of absolute relaxation because this is where you’ll begin to discover your own peace of mind.

Examples of how to start include:.

Breathing and Medication Exercises

You can start with simple breathing exercises and meditation. Look for a quiet location and make yourself comfortable, now take a few deep breaths then exhale with a feeling of ripples of relaxation going through you.

Make this a very personal experience and gradually peace of mind would begin to transpire as part of your personal life. Feel your body accepting this peace of mind and totality basking in your ideal peaceful desires. Make time to do this at least 15 minutes daily, believing that you already have it.

Images of Your Ideal Peaceful Scene

Create mental images of your Ideal desires surrounded with Peace and Love around you. Ask yourself questions like – what would give me a feeling of absolute peace right now? Make this picture as realistic as possible for you, and keep this picture steady in your Mind daily, with absolute belief.

Simple Positive Self Talk

Aim to communicate positively with yourself and others around you on a daily basis and repeat statements like the following at least 20 times a day, once again, believing that this is you, creating absolute peace in your Life.

Ok, let’s say this together:

“I have absolute Peace of Mind in my life and this Peace of Mind affords me a fuller expression of things that I do, in harmony with my true creative energy”

Or you could say:

“Peace of Mind is always present and improving in my life on a daily basis”.

Understand that for some people, it may take some time for these statements to sink in, but do not concerned yourself of this because just as you eat food, this is “Peaceful” food for your mind.

At the same time, don’t seek anxiously to measure how this “Peace” is working within you.

Why?

Because it’s working on a subconscious level and in time it will begin to transpire in your daily life just as you proclaim and believe it.

Other sources of peace of mind would include your favourite music, walking in natural surroundings, your hobby, helping others understand and express peace in their lives, and living with a mental attitude that cultivates peace of mind.

And what would all this do for you?

It will eventually afford you the absolute pleasure of discovering your very own unique “Joy of living” that comes from deep within you. It builds harmony with your conscious and subconscious mind, allowing you over a period of time to eventually become Master of your own environment and circumstances around you, wherever you may be.

Healthy Weight Loss Plan: How Trish Lost 283 lbs

Posted on July 3, 2009 by admin

1204446_hot_air_balloon Successful Weight Loss Plan.
Trish Cubias Lost 283 pounds with her Healthy Weight Loss Plan! You can lose weight too if you have a sound plan with the components necessary for successful weight loss. This is how Trish did it.

Motivation.

First and foremost you must realize you have a problem and be motivated to fix the problem. Unfortunately we often have to go through tragedy in our lives before we realize there is a problem and address that problem. In Trishs’ case it was the death of her mother. You see her mom weighed over 550 lbs when she passed and the death certificate listed obesity as the cause of death. Trish saw herself going down the same path. This was her personal motivation to change what she was doing so she would not experience the same outcome. Whoever we are and whatever we do to achieve any goal we must have a personal motivation. We are not successful because it is important to other people. We are successful when in our heart we have a burning passion and desire to achieve our stated goal. So the death of her mom excited that burning desire in Trish to lose weight. So this became the motivation Trish needed to achieve her goals. What is your motivation? Why do you want to lose weight? No one can answer that for you. It must come from within. Even if I were to give you examples of other peoples motivation if it is not your own their motivation is useless to you. Frankly you can stop reading here if you have no motivation to lose weight. Without passion or a burning desire it is less likely that you will be successful.

Your Weight Loss Plan.

Just like your motivation your weight loss plan has to be personal and come from within. That is not to suggest you create a plan out of your imagination and hope it works. No, I mean the plan you choose, you adapt it to your lifestyle and internalize it to fit you. Your goals and action steps are tailored to fit who you are and your needs. But, there are certain things you must do to be successful.

Whole Body Cleanse.

The first step is a whole body cleanse. I always suggest that as first for a few reasons. first of all we are often full of toxic waste that are deadly to our systems and need to cleansed for our overall health. Secondly when you do a whole body cleanse you get more energy and your metabolism increases. Increased energy and metabolic rate are essential to weight loss. Finally, you will have immediate success. Within 2 weeks you will see results and this will help keep you motivated and working toward your goals. Initial and quick success are always a helpful motivational tool to keep you going. Trish used a Natural Herbal Cleanse as a whole body cleanse and to start her weight loss plan.

Healthy Diet.

One the most important components of a successful weight loss plan is to eat healthy. Without a healthy diet it does not matter what supplements you take nor how much exercise you do. By continually eating a high fat, low fiber diet without complete and proper nutrition you are setting yourself up for failure. Your healthy diet should center around fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains vs. processed foods, nuts, seeds, and beans. Limit your fat intake by reducing the meat, sugar and salt in your diets. Drink plenty of water and eat 5 to 6 small meals each day (starting with a healthy breakfast) versus 1 or 2 larger meals. Fore many people it is hard to limit the calories the eat because it is sometimes a major change. After you complete the Natural Herbal Cleanse I suggest a natural meal replacement shake for breakfast and starting Metabolic Nutrition System that will give you full array of vitamin and minerals you need while helping to suppress your appetite for those unhealthy foods.

Regular Physical Exercise.

Equally important to a healthy diet is regular physical exercise. Both cardio and resistance training are necessary to effectively lose weight and keep it off. Exercise burns calories and fat. As you build muscle mass your body continually burns fat to feed the muscle. In reality the fat that our body stores up is the fat that we do not use. So conversely we either exercise to burn the fat or the fat will build up in our systems. When we exercise we get more energy as we build more muscles. We often need a boost. The Boost that Trish used and I recommend is natural nutritional energy boost supplement.

Essential Components.

The four essential components to a successful weight loss plan are motivation, natural nutritional supplements (starting with a whole body cleanse), a healthy diet of high fiber and low fat, and regular physical exercise (both cardio and resistance training). I only presented the outline and three major components to include in your weight loss plan and would encourage you to consider professional help from a nutritionist and professional trainer. This is how Trish Cubias lost 283 lbs.

Weight Loss Foods: What the Diet Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know

Posted on July 3, 2009 by admin

1151571_yellow_pepper So-called “weight loss foods” are a rip-off. Most supplements do nothing, or even more harm than good. How many times have these products been widely advertised and then yanked off the market? Not a wise use of your money.
“Hey, Jennifer, don’t sugarcoat it or anything”, you say. I know, no introduction, nothing, just ripped that band-aid RIGHT OFF.

I won’t name names but I can’t believe how some companies are able to sell—like crazy, no less, their prepackaged food-ish substances. These faceless corporations (yeah, I don’t care if the company name is that of a person, hint, hint) do NOT care about you. Or their spokesmodels, for that matter. Look at Kirstie Alley. She’s done SO well with it, and she’s getting paid, well, she was. In case you don’t read the headlines at the grocery store checkout, this is complete sarcasm, she’s gotten quite large again. Anyway, these huge companies care about profits. They know you are busy and desperate to lose weight. So they prey on people’s desires and sell crap that I, quite frankly, would not feed my dog. If you need portion control, you can try this and it’s free: Just eat a handful.

True weight loss foods are natural items that do not require any ingredients that you can’t pronounce. Spinach, berries, almonds, walnuts, seeds. Items like these are the ultimate in convenience, too, so I really don’t know why anyone would buy frozen dinners. Yuck. If they can’t even make it look good in the commercial, I shudder to think what it tastes like when you reheat it.

Really, the term “weight loss foods” is simply referring to eating healthy, in my opinion. Most healthy eaters I know have an attitude of balance about it. Balance is key. There’s no need to skip your own birthday cake, but if you eat sweets every time you go to a party, that can easily add up to a problem. Especially if you have little kids. My thinking on this is, unless I know it’s a really, REALLY good cake, there’s no sense in wasting those calories. Heck, if you know me at all, you know I’d rather spend my wasteful calories on wine. (: After all, we still must enjoy life.

On a small side note: I can’t believe that incredibly intelligent, highly successful women (I’m talking about my clients) will fall for these appetite suppressants. From my personal experience, I eat more out of overindulgence than a feeling of hunger. Like today for lunch, as a perfect example, I made softshell tacos. (whole grain tortillas and ground turkey, of course!) I totally could have eaten two. I didn’t need two. And half an hour later, I was very glad that I did not. But I certainly thought about it. And it was nothing to do with appetite.

Think about that. Because as I’ve mentioned before, I know moms (myself included) who clean leftovers off the kids’ plates by shoving them in their mouth. Needless calories that have no link to appetite.

Besides, your body is a complex creature. Your appetite is a very valuable communication of your body’s needs. You SHOULD eat if your body is saying you need food. Because otherwise your body swings into starvation mode and you are instantly storing whatever fat your body can grab. YIKES! Totally the opposite of what you were going for! But that food can be a healthy choice. A weight loss food like an apple. No preparation needed. Add a handful of almonds and a big glass of water and you just had one of those small healthy meals that people claim they don’t have time for. Bullocks. That takes ten minutes. You can do ten minutes.
