Liquid Weight Loss: A Magarita, a Cosmo or a Long Island Iced tea?
Posted by: | Comments
Those don’t have to be the only drinks that added lbs over the summer. One glass of alcohol has about 120 calories. Multiply this by 7 and you will have 840 calories per week. This accumulates to 3.360 calories. Whoa! This is close to 1 pound per week.
Calorie facts:
Serving size is one glass (200 ml)
750 calories for 1 Long Island Iced tea
453 calories for 1 Margarita
413 calories for 1 Martini
151 calories for 1 Cosmopolitan
150 calories for 1 bottle of beer (depending on brand and alcohol)
There are two times when you most likely gain weight: right after the holidays in December and over the summer, sitting outside or by the pool enjoying cocktails over the months of July and August.
It’s no surprise that cleansing and natural weight loss programs are in demand after these times. Do they work? Which ones are the one that work the best? Should you do them or not? Here are some solutions and guidelines for you:
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.
3 things that make org. foods conventional foods

Why does a tomato, eaten in Europe, taste so special that you’re still talking about it a week later? Why doesn’t an American tomato (even an organic one) not compare?
Organic food in the States has become mainstream. The Department of Agriculture sets the standards for which items can wear the coveted green and white USDA Organic label. Yet, as usual, there is always some wiggle room.
Did you know that a food wearing the USDA organic label can contain up to 5% ingredient non-organic material? Also foods that have 70% organic ingredients can indicate that they are “Made with Organic Ingredients” but cannot carry the organic label. (But do you remember to look for that label? Or are you carried away by the proclamation of “organic?” All of this is very beneficial for the major market distributors. Read More→
Calorie shifting – the simplest strategy to losing it!
Posted by: | Comments
Some people will tell you to do crazy things to lose weight, such as cutting out all carbohydrates, eating only cabbage for 2 weeks or following a complicated regiment of foods and pills. I am not one of those people who will tell you to do crazy things like that. I will keep it always very simple so that you can implement the advice easily. And see results quickly.
Today, I want to share a simple strategy that I advised a client; by the way, she experienced great success. It helped her to lose 55lbs. And it is as simple as shifting your calories.
When do you eat the most during the day? From food logs analyzed over more then 10 + years I see that the most calories are consumed at dinner. Relaxing, finally being able to sit down, having a drink adds the most calories. Read More→
Make-over lunch recipe for MORE energy
Posted by: | Comments
What do you eat for lunch and energy? Definitely, light. All right, no light bulbs, obviously (I got this response on Twitter, you can follow me there as well.).
In the summer, we often feel sluggish and tiered during the day. Add on the extremes of temperature, smells and heat radiating from buildings and the disaster — a slow-down in function–is almost perfect. (Not in a good way!)
Therefore, lunch becomes a critical point. Can you take some needed energy into your system that doesn’t make you tired, drag you down or make you sleepy?
You might think about eating some lean protein. But here are the facts: Protein takes longer to digest than fruits. Fruits contain simple carbohydrates that contain vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Don’t mistake it with simple carbohydrates such as white sugar. Fruits are digested in the stomach for 30 minutes before they move into the duodenum. The breakdown of protein into amino acids takes longer as there are more chemical processes involved. In the duodenum, long chain polypeptides are reduced to short chain polypeptides, tripeptides, and dipeptidases. They are absorbed across the gut wall into the portal vein to transport the amino acids to the liver, the principal site of protein metabolism.

Heavy Thoughts? How Distorted Thinking Affects Weight Loss
Posted by: | CommentsThere’s a difference common to individuals who fail to lose weight and keep it off long term. It’s called all-or-nothing thinking. Do you recognize any (or all) of the following?
-
· Hunger is bad; being full (often overly full) is good.
-
· I’m good if I follow my diet and bad if I make one mistake
-
· My eating week was good or bad even if I just struggle one day or several minutes a day
-
· If I’m losing weight, I’m fully in control; if I’m not, I’m totally out of control.

Spring workout
Posted by: | CommentsIt’s no newsflash: To create a body that moves energetically and without pain or stiffness AND looks great takes work.
What is new; to understand how to stage your workout program. It doesn’t take skill to just pick up a weight and start moving it. But it does take skill to move it in such a way that it helps you achieve your goal objective. And for that, you may need knowledge about how to move that weight properly. A dysfunctional movement pattern doesn’t move you closer to your goal. Keep this in mind when starting an exercise program.
Spring weather is around the corner on the East Coast. The birds are chirping at 5:15 am and the days are getting warmer (like this past weekend). You are feeling to get out and about and ready to start being active.
Shorts are out, leaves and buds are peeking out, flip flops are on…there’s a new beginning in the air; all at once at the same time. It is no wonder my inquiries for diet programs and workout sessions increase. The perfect butt, the perfect arms, shoulders, and a smaller midsection should be accomplished within 4 weeks. Doable? Yes, depending at which stage you are starting (250 lbs or 116 lbs). Read More→
