WEAPONS OF MASS RECONSTRUCTION: LESSON 2 OF 10

WEAPONS OF MASS RECONSTRUCTION: LESSON 2 OF 10 Mar 18, '10 2:25 AM for everyone TO LOSE WEIGHT, your body must WORK RIGHT.   It's just like a car.  Would you put Kool-Aid in your gas tank and expect your car to run?   No.  Your body is the same way.  If you are continually puttting in foods that have a nutritional value equal to Kool-Aid, how will your body work right?   In Lesson 1, we learned about a new product called Shakeology, which contains over 70 ingredients that we do not get proper amounts of in the typical American diet.   Here is a short video about Shakeology -- "Dessert in a Glass": http://www.videohealthcoach.com/shakeology.html   A foundation of proper vitamins and nutrients will give your body the ABILITY TO LOSE WEIGHT faster as you follow your diet and exercise program.   You MUST BELIEVE ME on this; I think it's probably one of the primary reasons why my students don't lose weight as fast as they want to. For example, the outside of the fat cell needs to be permeable enough, by keeping yourself properly hydrated, to be able to "let the fat out" so that the fat can be used as energy.    Fat is stored in your body as something called a Triglyceride (TG for short). Your body is not designed to use fat when it is stored as a TG. You must be able to take that stored form of fat and move it into the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream this TG is free to be used as energy, hence the name Free Fatty Acid (FFA).  It's these FFA’s that you want to utilize when attempting to lose weight.   A second example is inflammation.  Most people are walking around with an extremely high level of inflammation in their cells.  The way to lower the inflammation is through taking in nutrients and exercise.    ** In a later lesson, I'll teach you why you should ALWAYS DO WEIGHTLIFTING BEFORE CARDIO in order to lose the maximum amount of fat.* *   Think of these 10 lessons as "building a house." We wouldn't go shopping for paint and wallpaper for our house if the house wasn't even built yet!    Last week one of my members at the Y asked about diet pills.     **  Taking diet pills is like shopping for paint and wallpaper before building your house.  **   You will be much more successful if you will build your house the correct way:   LESSON 1:  POUR THE FOUNDATION (supplements/vitamins) LESSON 2: CHOOSE PROPER FOODS.  (Low-fat foods that are high in fiber, nutrition, and THEN start adding up calories, fat, and protein.)   IN THIS LESSON, YOU HAVE 2 TASKS TO DO:   1.  I posted 34 new recipes on my recipe blog today: http://www.timetogetfitrecipes.blogspot.com.   Look through them and create a grocery list of healthy foods to buy at the store.  If you have any questions, leave a comment at the bottom of this post.    2.  Join DAILY BURN.  Daily Burn will help you add up all of your calories, fat, carbs, and protein for the day. GOOD NEWS --> NO MATH!   YEA!  All you have to do is type in SKIM MILK, and then click I ATE THIS, and put in the number of servings that you ate for the day. Click here to join: http://dailyburn.com/challenges/team_beachbody_fitness_usa_team_beachbody_fitness_fanatics (IF THAT LINK WON'T CLICK, JUST TYPE IT IN)   ** If you are not fond of keeping track of what you eat, here's a tip -- you won't always have to do it.  After doing it so many times, I can now calculate most things in my head without looking anything up or even reading the food labels.    I can go to a restaurant and tell you about how many calories, fat, and protein are in any of their menu items.  You will get to that point too.   IMPORTANT!   DO NOT TRY TO "DIET."  Just type in the foods you eat and the amounts.  That's it!   If you have any problem figuring out Daily Burn, I can make a short video on it.  After clicking around a bit,  I figured it out.   To put in your food for the day, after you are registered, click the NUTRITION tab at the top of the page.  DON'T FORGET food items like butter on your toast, a whole roll of Certs (100 calories! Yes, I've done that), and the Hazelnut creamer you pour in your coffee...                --------------------- Q & A --------------------------   Why is it so hard to make good food choices? PLANNING: It is obviously simple, yet rarely done. When you know what you will be eating and when you will be eating it, you can avoid all the mistakes that can be made when making spontaneous decisions. These spontaneous decisions are usually made when you are starving, have low blood sugar, in a stressful situation, or a combination of all these factors. I can bet the farm that when food choices are made under these conditions, they are rarely good. Get in the habit of planning what you will be eating before you go to bed at night. That way when you wake up in the morning, foods are prepared  and the plan becomes much easier to follow. This is the first step in the right direction to helping you achieve your nutrition goals.   One of the strategies I have developed over the years is to do most of my cooking for the week all in one day.  When you are home on Saturday or Sunday, start several foods cooking simultaneously.  I usually get out the crock pot and start some soup or beans or chili.  My husband always cooks at least a whole bag of frozen chicken breasts on the grill, then I put the grilled chicken in a ziploc bag in the refrigerator to be eaten through the week.  I always boil at least 6-12 eggs, sometimes more.    I DON'T WASH THE DISHES in-between cooking different things, I just rinse the pan out and start over.  Soap isn't necessary.  The only exception to that is boiling eggs.  The eggshells can have feces/contaminants, so I ALWAYS boil the eggs LAST then pop the pan in the dishwasher right after that.  Then I'll make some kind of baked item, such as taco casserole, lasagna (not often but occasionally), chicken/broccoli casserole, a healthy bread such as banana/oatmeal/raisin bread, or black bean brownies (see recipe for that on the blog!).   I also mix a large fat-free cottage cheese, large plain yogurt, and large Dannon Light-n-Fit Vanilla yogurt in a big tupperware bowl to keep in the refrigerator.  I eat it during the week for desserts and sprinkle Kashi cereal on top.    Sometimes I put a (drained) can of pink grapefruit in the yogurt.  You can also use any berries, but pineapple doesn't work very well.   Occasionally I plan a "treat," -- last week we bought fat-free no-sugar-added vanilla "ice cream" and Diet A&W Root Beer, and we made root beer floats. It was fun.   If you buy the proper ice cream, it has hardly any more calories than a regular glass of milk.  Yes, you can have ice cream treats!   Is menopause making me fat? It's possible, to a degree.  Make a doctor's appointment and get a full check-up.  Some doctors specialize in this area.  As a continually changing living organism, our physiology is a dynamic factor that determines how we function. So what alters our physiology, how do we make sure that it is working with us, and not against us? Good question! What you need to do is get a good understanding of how certain chemical processes function.  Hormones are tiny chemical messengers within our bodies that are responsible for almost everything that ever gets done. When you are hungry, it's a hormone telling you so. When your metabolism speeds up or slows down, again it's a hormone. How your body stores fat, uses fat, builds muscle, responds to stress, sleep cycles, love, it all comes down to those various hormones conducting your body like a well orchestrated symphony.  Besides getting hormones checked, be sure to get a full blood profile too.                          HAVE MORE QUESTIONS?

WHICH SUPPLEMENTS DO YOU NEED FOR THE FOLLOWING HEALTH CONDITIONS?

WHICH SUPPLEMENTS DO YOU NEED FOR THE FOLLOWING HEALTH CONDITIONS? Mar 23, '10 2:45 PM for everyone   See the list at the bottom for the SUPPLEMENTS you need to combat each of these health conditions.   Acne/Rosacea: Whether you are a teenager afflicted with ongoing outbreaks, or a middle-aged woman pestered by premenstrual pimples, you can turn your pores to satin by taking zinc. Why does zinc work so well?  Teens often develop acne as a result of marginal deficiencies of the mineral. The second is that zinc acts as an antibacterial. An important point to keep in mind whenever targeting a particular nutrient is to include a multi-mineral formula. Zinc must be balanced with a number of other minerals, especially copper, to be effective.   Suggested supplements are Minerals, Vita Sprout, Borage Oil, Garlic Tabs, Enzyme Ease, and C.   Arthritis/Osteoarthritis: Researchers consider arthritis and autoimmune disease because the symptoms are caused by the body's immune system attacking its own tissues. Sometimes it's a matter of examining what the body uses to stay healthy. In the case of joints that depend on cartilage, hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic Acid is found in all connecting tissues of the body such as ligaments and tendons where it lubricates and helps orient ligament and tendon fibers.   Suggested supplements are Hyaluronic Acid, omega-3, omega-6, B vitamins, vitamins C and E , the amino acid histidine, enzymes, and Minerals in solution.   ADD/ADHD and Autism: A deficiency of vitamin B6 can cause behavioral symptoms in those with hyperactivity and autism. Researchers in the U.S. have demonstrated that 30 to 60% of autistic children and adults show significant behavioral and other benefits from the administration of large amounts of vitamin B6 and magnesium. Magnesium is important because the body cannot use vitamin B6 without it. Calcium is important to the growth of brain transmitters and will not travel where it should without magnesium. Suggested supplements are Vita Sprout, Minerals, Folic Acid, Borage Oil, Flax Seed Oil, C, Antioxidants. Depression: Depression can have physical causes and antidepressants can be dangerous. People with depression have recurring sadness, crying spells, inability to sleep, loss of interest and motivation. Suggested protocol would include Vita Sprout, Folic Acid, Vitamin A and Minerals. Eczema and Psoriasis: Eczema is described as a common skin inflammation. Its symptoms are redness, itching, small blisters, and a fluid discharge that dries into scales and crusts. It is not a disease unto itself, but a symptom, manifesting itself through the skin, that the body is being irritated by an internal or external source. This is also the definition for an allergic reaction. There are three steps to dealing with it: remove the irritant, remedy a nutritional deficit, and boost the skin's natural immune system. Suggested supplements are Vita E-400, Borage Oil, Flax Seed Oil, Vita Sprout, C, Minerals. Hypertension: Sodium and potassium, in the correct ratio, regulate the body's fluid balance, as well as influence the heart's strength. As evidence suggests, a therapeutic diet high in potassium, magnesium and calcium should lower blood pressure. Suggested supplements are CoQ-10, Minerals, Vita Sprout, Amino Acid, Borage Oil, and Flax Seed Oil. ________________________________________________________________ LIST OF SUPPLEMENTS:   Supplements are not substitutes for healthy food, BUT they supply the nutrients lost from our food by deficient soils, transport, processing and cooking.   BORON: beans, peas, lentils, nuts, pears, leafy vegetables, soy meal, prunes, raisins, almonds, peanuts, hazelnuts, dates, and honey.

WEIGHT LOSS DINNER #13

CHICKEN BARLEY SOUP WEIGHT LOSS DINNER #13 Mar 17, '10 9:02 PM for everyone This is the soup I made tonight for dinner.  My son and husband both love it.  I was teaching my P.E. Teachers at Birdville ISD last month, and we started talking about homemade soups because one of the teachers told me she's been eating Healthy Choice canned soups for lunch.    There's no reason to eat canned soups!    For the extra 5-10 minutes it takes to make homemade soup, it's SO WORTH IT and much healthier.  I started explaining how I make lots of different types of homemade soups, and the teachers were asking me to send them the recipes.  Well, I really just throw things together, and I've come up with some great creations that are healthy, high fiber, and low fat.  You can make them low-sodium too, if you limit the amount of broth/bouillon.    Almost all of my soups start with the same things: Tone's chicken broth paste (I buy this at Sam's, I can't find it anywhere else; Wal-Mart has a different brand called Superior Touch Better than Bouillon, it is in the soup aisle.  Refrigerate it after you open it.) Chopped onion (onion flakes if you are in a hurry) Celery Can of chicken breast After that, you can add any combinations of the following: Matchstick carrots (sometimes called julienne cut carrots), zucchini, yellow squash, can of diced tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, brown rice (Success brown rice, cooks in 10 mins), barley (Quaker Quick Barley, cooks in 10 mins), asparagus. Here's an example, the soup I made tonight.  I put it on the stove rather early, cooked the onion, celery, and carrots for awhile, then added the chicken and barley just 10 minutes before we were ready to eat.  Don't let the barley cook too long (same with brown rice).   CHICKEN BARLEY SOUP Water Chicken broth paste (add to taste, you will get used to the amounts you need for the taste you want; always put in less, you can add more at the end if you need to) 1/4 to 1/2 onion, chopped (don't use a whole onion even if you are making a whole pot, it will be too much) 1-2 stalks celery, chopped Handful of matchstick carrots 1 can chicken breast 1-2 "servings" of quick-cook barley (don't add until 10-15 minutes before you are ready to eat)     Join Video Fitness Coach today!

WEAPONS OF MASS RECONSTRUCTION: LESSON 1 OF 10

WEAPONS OF MASS RECONSTRUCTION: LESSON 1 WEAPONS OF MASS RECONSTRUCTION: LESSON 1 OF 10 Mar 15, '10 5:32 PM for everyone First and foremost, you have to set up your vitamins/minerals/antioxidants so your BODY WILL WORK RIGHT as you are trying to lose weight. Your fat cells WILL NOT release fat well unless they have 3 things: fat (no, that's not a misprint), water, and the proper chemicals that provide for correct activity at the cellular level so that the cells will WORK RIGHT. This means: 1. adequate vitamin levels, 2. adequate omega-3 fats, 3. adequate hydration. HOW TO DO THIS: You have two options ~~ OPTION 1: If you are BUSY and you want FAST AND EASY, don't read any further, email me back and tell me to go online, order SHAKEOLOGY for you, and I will send you a quick-n-easy (clickable) Paypal link to pay through (so much faster than a shopping cart checkout on the website), and I will just pay for it myself and then send you the "link" for the amount. It will take about 20 seconds to pay thru the Paypal link. You CAN use a credit card. OPTION 2: If you are not busy -- Here you go: Watch the videos at http://www.videohealthcoach.com/shakeologyvideos.html. Then 1. Go to the website, http://www.beachbodycoach.com/fitnessusa 2. First, click on REV ABS at the bottom of the page, and see what you think about it. I think REV ABS is something you could use at home every day. Abs are easily done at home OR IN A HOTEL because they don't require any space to move around and can be done in 5-minute sets if you want to. You can put the DVD in your computer bag and play it on your computer in the hotel room. 3. Then, click on NUTRITION in the sidebar, then click on SHAKEOLOGY. You have a choice of the tub or the single serving packets. You may want a mix of both, because the packets are for traveling. Order CHOCOLATE. 4. Fill out the shopping cart and sign up for monthly shipments with free shipping. This is the best price and since you can cancel at any time and get your money back, you donât lose anything. And you'll save shipping charges. Also sign up for the Beachbody Club membership, it gives you a discount. ************************************************************* If you are going to order more than one month, you should sign up to buy it wholesale. That is the only reason I signed up, because I can buy it wholesale, well, ALSO BECAUSE I knew there wasn't another product on the market that had so much in such a little drink. It is a hassle to sign up as a wholesaler, it takes awhile to navigate thru the menus. I can do that for you if you want. You can either give me a credit card # or I will pay for it and send you a Paypal link. They charge $40 upfront and $15 after that monthly but you will save that in your first 1-2 month's purchases and then after that it will cost you less than if you bought it retail. After you sign up, you never have to go on the website again, it will just be shipped monthly, very easy. **************************************************************** Here are the personal testimonies just from the people I know here in Dallas: Alicia Rogers (she's on Facebook, you can contact her) 100 points down in cholesterol Frank Ewing (on FB too) lost over 50 pounds, look at his picture, he looks fantastic now Another story I heard from a Beachbody friend, don't know the name, but said her hairdresser asked, âWhat have you been doing to your hair? And she said, "Nothing," and her hairdresser said, "You hair is so much thicker!" Well she couldn't figure out why her hairdresser had said that until she started thinking about it, and figured out that the only thing she had changed was drinking Shakeology! One of my P.E. teacher coaches (a man) came up to me after our Staff Dev class two weeks ago, and said, âI want to shake your hand and personally thank you for helping my wife. She has lost 25 pounds and she is wearing clothes that she hasnât worn in 10 years. His wife is about 52, and she needed to lose about 50-60 pounds, so she is already halfway. And I haven't even been working with her one-on-one, she just attended my seminar and took my advice, and did everything I said ON HER OWN! My personal story: http://www.videofitnesscoach.com (click on Makeover Story) When I added protein to my diet in the amounts suggested by sports nutritionists, rather than the recommendations from places like Weight Watchers, that's when my life changed. At that time, we didnât even know what antioxidants were, the doctors did, but the general public really didn't. So I was just drinking whey protein. Now I mix the whey protein with Shakeology, and get both. You CAN take most of the ingredients that are in Shakeology in a capsule. You can buy broccoli, green tea, fish oil, turmeric, alpha lipoic acid, etc., but it makes up a huge handful of pills to have to take every day, and Iâve tried to do it that way but I just wouldnât take the time to get them all out of the pill bottles, didn't like swallowing that many, you know..! This is so much easier and actually has way more ingredients than you would ever buy at the vitamin store anyway. Antioxidants work at the cellular level, and promote transmission of necessary chemicals so that they will flow in and out of the bloodstream as you need them. These compounds will help brain health too; improving memory as well as slowing down aging of the brain (Alzheimerâs). It will help you think faster, how âbout that? Well that's what doctors say anyway. If you have any way to measure that, let me know! This is how I make it: (takes 15 seconds) 1. Pick up blender 2. Put blender under faucet, fill half with water 3. Put in a scoop of Shakeology and 2 scoops of vanilla whey protein (you can buy whey protein from Beachbody too, and have that on auto-ship as well) I keep the protein in my cookie jars next to the blender. Last week I bought the new flavor of Body Fortress Whey choc peanut butter. Toooo good. 4. Blend, 2 seconds 5. Pour into 32 ounce Tupperware cup with ice cubes (Sorry you can't buy those cups from Tupperware anymore but if you ever see one at a garage sale, BUY IT! There is no better cup around!) 6.Walk out the door. 7. Make another one around 3-4 p.m. END OF LESSON #1 Stay tuned for the next exciting installment of âWEAPONS OF MASS RECONSTRUCTION" <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> MY NEW BOOK: http://www.videohealthcoach.com/bookannouncement.html FIND ME ON THE WEB: www.twitter.com/anitastone http://anitastone.qassia.com www.timetogetfit.blogspot.com www.timetogetfit.biz Makeover Story www.fitness.supersitesdirect.com www.timetogetfitrecipes.blogspot.com www.videofitnesscoach.com Enroll now! www.squidoo.com/donotdiet Please give Squidoo some stars! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> DON'T PROCRASTINATE!

TOP 10 DETOX FOODS (Not the list you usually see!)

TOP 10 DETOX FOODS TOP 10 DETOX FOODS (Not the list you usually see!) Mar 12, '10 3:07 PM for everyone Top 10 Detox Foods Give your body a healthy, fresh start with these 10 "eating clean" essentials. They help flush out your body, pour in nutrients, keep your GI tract fit, and energize cleansing enzymes in your liver, your body's built-in detox center.   1. Leafy green vegetables Eat them raw, throw them into a broth, or add them to juices. Their chlorophyll helps swab out environmental toxins (heavy metals, pesticides) and is an all-around liver protector. They also help keep your heart healthy.   2. Lemons You need to keep the fluids flowing to wash out the body, and fresh lemonade is ideal. It has vitamin Câconsidered the detox vitaminâwhich helps convert toxins into a water-soluble form thatâs easily flushed away. Bonus: Lemons may also help fight asthma.   3. Watercress Put a handful into salads, soups, and sandwiches. The peppery little green leaves have a diuretic effect that helps move things through your system. And cress is rich in minerals, too.   4. Garlic Add it to everythingâsalads, sauces, spreads. In addition to the bulb's cardio benefits, it activates liver enzymes that help filter out junk.   5. Green tea This antioxidant-rich brew is one of the healthiest ways to get more fluids into your system. Bonus: It contains catechins, which speed up liver activity.   6. Broccoli sprouts Get 'em at your health-food store. They pack 20 to 50 times more cancer-fighting, enzyme-stimulating activity into each bite than the grown-up vegetable.   7. Sesame seeds They're credited with protecting liver cells from the damaging effects of alcohol and other chemicals. For a concentrated form, try tahini, the yummy sesame seed paste thatâs a staple of Middle Eastern cooking.   8. Cabbage There are two main types of detoxifying enzymes in the liver; this potent veggie helps activate both of them. Coleslaw, anyone?   9. Psyllium A plant that's rich in soluble fiber, like oat bran, but more versatile. It mops up toxins (cholesterol, too) and helps clear them out. Stir powdered psyllium into juice to help cleanse your colon, or have psyllium-fortified Bran cereal for your afternoon snack!   10. Fruits, fruits, fruits They're full of almost all the good things above vitamin C, fiber, nutritious fluids, and all kinds of antioxidants. Besides, nothing tastes better than a ripe mango, fresh berries, or a perfect pear. Join Video Fitness Coach today!

MANGOSTEEN — The Antioxidant Powerhouse

By Sara Lovelady   Healthnotes Newswire (February 18, 2010)—Just a few years ago, few Westerners had ever heard of a mangosteen, though the round, palm-sized fruit, with its dark-purple rind and delicate white flesh, has been savored in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, and Indonesia for thousands of years. Recently, however, the fruit has migrated west and exploded in popularity, thanks in no small part to its hefty concentration of antioxidants (which research shows may help slow the aging process).   An exotic source of antioxidants The flesh of the mangosteen has a delicate sweet-tart flavor. In Southeast Asia, it's usually eaten fresh as a delectable dessert. However, what has propelled the fruit to fame is its deep purple rind, which is packed with antioxidants called xanthones. Antioxidants help protect the body from free radicals, highly reactive compounds that interfere with cells' ability to function normally, and may lead to more than 60 different health conditions, including the aging process, cancer, and hardening of the arteries.   Just juice If you're looking for fresh mangosteen in the continental United States, you're out of luck. Due to concerns about foreign insects hitching a ride in the fruit, it's illegal to import mangosteen. However, you can still reap the benefits of the tasty fruit and its antioxidant-rich rind by drinking the juice. These days, you have your choice among many brands. Choose juices that blend the rind with the fruit to get the highest antioxidant content.   How much is enough? USDA research chemist Dr. Ronald Prior, with the Arkansas Children's Nutrition Center, recommends getting at least 10,000 ORAC units—the ability of an antioxidant to subdue oxygen free radicals in a test tube—a day. That's the amount you need to counteract the free radicals that your body creates when it metabolizes energy.   Prior explains, "After a meal, you see a decline in plasma antioxidant capacity. So we've taken those numbers and are relating the need for antioxidants based on the amount of energy consumed."   Popular mangosteen juices contain anywhere from 1,600 to 2,500 ORAC units per ounce of juice. Just remember, no supplement, even an antioxidant-rich fruit juice, is a substitute for a healthy diet. So boost your antioxidant intake with mangosteen juice, but keep eating those fruits and veggies too!   Sara Lovelady  She has written health-related articles for both consumer and trade publications, including Healthy Living, Holistic Primary Care, Nutraceuticals World, Natural Products Insider, and Food Product Design, and writes Tree of Life?s Healthy! monthly consumer newsletter, which is distributed to over one million people in over 1,000 natural food stores nationwide.
