It's spring, and
that means that bathing suit season is right around the corner! Better
weather means more opportunities to exercise outdoors. It might also make some of us realize that we hibernated
a little too much over the winter causing weight gain making
us feel flabby. Maybe you skipped a few workouts due to bad weather or
illness, or affective disorder derailed your workouts and caused major cravings (Craving Carbs? Blog Post) that...

Did you know that we only need 1/3 of the food we eat every day? Yet, we all seem to continue to over-eat
even though we know it’s about decreasing calories to lose fat!
The biggest obstacle
that STOPS weight loss seems to be controlling our hunger monster! This causes us to snack all day! The problem
isn’t the snacking, it’s what we snack on that causes us to gain weight.
We tend to snack on foods
that are best left for weight gain like; yogurt, nuts and yes, this
includes almonds! Not only do thes...

If you have been exercising and not seeing the results you
hoped for or maybe you even gained weight (which is actually very common). numerous
research studies have shown that individuals who start on exercise
programs actually subconsciously eat MORE calories due to the fact that
exercise also stimulates your appetite. When it comes to exercising for
weight loss and transforming your body, not all programs are created
equal. Who wants to spend all of
that time in the gym to gain weight or grow you...

FROM THE HEART February 12 2013, 3 Comments
Every day people ask me… were you ever fat? Ha, that's a
funny question to me because I came from a very inactive family who did not
take part in anything active. My family watched NASCAR races and if you
have ever been to a race you know there isn't a healthy food in sight! It's
french fries ,beer and hot dogs and you sit through the whole 3-4 hour race! I
was plump already and as I became a teen I just kept growing! I lived for
food and when life got tough I ate my way through the pain! Eating my feelings
made thin...

It’s cold and flu
season and everyone is running to get the flu shot. That’s not the only thing you need to do to
stay healthy! Every day we are infected with viruses and IF our immune systems
are strong enough they will fight them off and we will not get sick BUT if we
are under stress, become anxious or aren’t eating or sleeping right, our immune
systems won’t be strong enough to fight off these harmful viruses. I’m not saying that I am for or against the
flu vaccine, BUT have you ever asked yourself …if the flu shot work...

There are so many new
fat burners on the market – but newer doesn’t always mean better. Before you go
out and spend your hard-earned money on some hot new herb you can’t even
pronounce, be sure that you have done your homework.
The first thing that
you should be concerned with is: Will it hurt me? The next good question is: If
it works for me, can I live on it? If you
can’t live on it, you probably shouldn’t take it at all. If it does work, but
you have to stop taking it, why bother at all? Whatever gets you to your goa...

Rule #1: Always do your homework.
Never buy a supplement on impulse. Here are some questions to help you make the right decision:
Do I need it? Have you been diagnosed by a medical doctor with a condition which may be helped by this nutritional supplement?
Is it going to hurt me? What are the potential side effects? Medication interactions?
Is it safe enough to give to my children? I tell my clients that if it’s not safe for kids, it may not be all that safe for adults either.
Is it high quality? Higher-quality supplem...

Is stress affecting your body? The answer to this question is a big “YES! The number-one complaint that I am hearing these days is: “I am under so much stress and it is causing me to overeat. I am storing fat around my midsection; what can I do to de-stress myself so that my body doesn’t suffer?”
First, we all need to get in touch with our bodies so that we can recognize what it feels like to be relaxed and how it feels when we are stressed.
