Posted by: | Comments
Which is it, damn it?!
Diet soda is poisonous for your body.
Actually, diet soda can help you lose weight, since it has fewer calories.
Conflicting information like this is certainly not going to help you make informed food decisions. But aren’t so-called “diet” foods supposes to cut down your calories and help you lose weight?
Now studies are confirming that diet drinks can make you fat. Dr. Helen Hazuda, a professor of medicine at University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, stated “diet soda might be free of calories but not free of consequences.”
The fact is that calories make you either gain weight or lose weight. Read More→
SUCCESS! How Terry Conquered Hunger, Weight Gain and Emotional Turmoil in her 60’s

You often hear that it is very difficult, hard, or undoable to have a strong, happy, vibrant body at any age.
But if you really listen to the person making this statement, you will hear disappointment, lack of commitment and know-it-all statements. As a weight loss coach, I hear something else: I hear that person saying, “How did this happen again?”
Commitment goes down, weight goes up, you go and throw in the towel. This is why, with my Natural Weight Loss Programs I don’t promote quick fixes (never will), but rather strategies that you can implement to conquer hunger, weight gain and a activity program that is beyond the gym.

Go into any gym and pay attention to the breathing of exercisers. You’ll see people with their mouths open, out of breath and gasping for air.
Let’s step back and analyze proper breathing for exercise.
Activity raises your heart rate and your muscles cells need oxygen, which is exchanged through the lungs. When you increase your activity, it makes sense that you need more oxygen to meet the demands of your working body. And breathing supplies oxygen the needed oxygen.
You have two options to get your oxygen intake. One is through your mouth and the second is through your nose. One would think that there is no difference how oxygen is supplied. Yet there is.
How to know when enough calories are enough?
Posted by: | CommentsIn a weight loss program calories are important. But a calorie is not a calorie. For example, let’s compare calories from white bread vs. oatmeal, both of which are starchy carbohydrates and contain 4 calories per gram respectively.
However, when you eat white bread, which is stripped of its nutrients such as fiber, minerals and vitamins, you are not taking in essential ingredients that help your body run its metabolic system efficiently. Conversely, quality calories, from foods like oatmeal, that are not processed, and are not taxing to your system, help you to maintain your metabolism and to then lose excess weight.
