Are you like Kirstie Alley– painfully struggling with weight ups and downs?

We have seen her trim and strong in movies. Then, heavy and her body – large in tabloids. At one point, she joined Jenny Craig as a weight loss spokesperson. After her weight gain, weight loss and weight gain back again, she is in the news regarding her recent weight loss.

woman_holding_scale_062409_mWonder why you’re not seeing the results you want? You’re probably making one (or more) of the following body boo-boos:

Mistake #1: Working out only with machines

Gleaming, high-tech machines make the gym look expensive and high-end. Truthfully, there’s a place in a workout for machines, but NOT when you’re trying to lose weight or burn fat. The problems with machines are that they alter your primal movement patterns. In fact, many of them restrict your range of motion. This is the last thing you need as you get older, because with the years, you lose flexibility, lean muscle tissue and balance. Restricting your range of motion means fewer muscles are activated and this means less fat burning. The limited range of motion also puts more strain on your joints, which can lead to pain and injuries.

Death is the worst that can happen.

Bold claim isn’t it? The fact is, an acidic body is a body that is just waiting for diseases to happen.

On the other hand, an alkaline body is a healthy body. The alkaline condition is optimal for your metabolism.

Since your metabolism is critical for your health, weight loss and youngevity, you should know if you are acidic or alkaline.

ANY CHARACTER HERE

I want you to know upfront that I am going to share information with you that has been around for centuries but sorely neglected in our modern society and pharmaceutical industry.

Okay, I think most of you would agree that you  don’t nourish your body to the best of your ability on a daily basis, right?

ANY CHARACTER HERE

I mean, you get so caught up in comfort, laziness, and the attitude “I am going to be all right. I just do fine. I look great. I know it all.

Newsflash: If your body isn’t where you want it to be, and if you are not feeling at ease with the clothes that you wear or what you see looking back at you in the mirror when naked, then you need to face the reality that you are not taking care of yourself.

Health is determined by what you eat. “Let nutrition be your medicine,” Aspostolus said.

What is true then has not changed today.

From my research and on-hand materials that I used to study for my Masters in Science in holistic nutrition, and clients who successfully improved health, energy or accomplished weight loss between 10 lbs and 100 lbs, here is my list of the top 10 foods.

These foods were selected for their general health, low toxicity and nutritional value (in terms of protein, fats, carbohydrates, antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins and minerals).

And what is good for your health is great for weight loss and your youngevity. Both go hand in hand.

10 best foods (and why)

The truth is out. Most people don’t succeed.

Last week’s blog entry was a bee sting to some of you. I mean, it hurt.

Unfortunately, for some it hurt so much to face facts. They didn’t like to be reminded that they needed to take care of their body. They discontinued their subscription.

I tell it like it is without the honey and sugar: My newsletters are all about motivation, advice, strategy, education and thorough, provocative information to help you in your quest for weight loss, youngevity, and longevity.

So, down to business again. Spring and summer are just around the corner. And soon the urge to trim and shape will be on the forefront; just when the winter coats are gone.

Ever gotten in an accident? Or perhaps diagnosed with a serious health issue? How about being stressed out by a job crisis, a money disaster or a break-up from a marriage, boyfriend or girlfriend?

The circle of downspin has started. Here are two cases that illustrate my point. Read More→

book-club-book

I’ll keep it short and sweet today. I’ll only ask you one question:

If you belong to a book club, are you looking for a new book and a memorable experience?

Is this missing at your book meeting?

You meet with your friends to discuss the latest book that you’ve all read.

Unfortunately, the book can’t speak back to you and answer all the questions that you might have. But this is about to change.

dsc_0519-apple-shtrudelJanuary has come and gone.

I know that since then, you’ve eaten healthy foods. No desserts. No sodas.

Maybe you survived Valentine’s Day. But now you can’t walk by a chocolate or sweet shop without being drawn to it like metal to a magnet. You know you want it, but you know you shouldn’t.

Been there?

To the rescue:  a low-fat dessert recipe for you to indulge in and still keep you on your weight loss wagon.

Monster Energy (for fat loss)

woman-runningcStamina that lasts all day and all night.

Doing all the things that you want to do and not getting tired.

Would this be a dream or a nightmare?

Maybe both. The dream is boundless energy all day and all night that keeps us alive; the nightmare is most common in the realm of physical performance. It’s a nightmare that many experience when starting a workout program or by competitive athletes who like to out-perform their competitors, yet are not equipped to do so. Read More→
