HARD CORE EXERCISES

FOODS we Should AVOID! ;) Little by Little we Get There

• Dairy Products: Milk (lets replace it with Almond, rice or coconut Milk) 
• Fast Food - A hamburger here, a bucket of fried chicken there, and fast food rapidly turns into a habit. Unfortunately, the health consequences of regular fast food consumption are significant. Becoming overweight or obese is the most obvious risk, but being fat isn't just a cosmetic concern. Overweight and obesity put you at risk for a host of other problems including diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke and infertility. Additionally, scientists suspect there may be a correlation between fast food and mental health. To protect yourself, consider packing a lunch instead of eating out. If you are concerned about the damage a fast food diet may have done to your body, ask your physician for a full physical and talk to him about changing your lifestyle.

• Yogurt: Replace it with Almond Milk or Cottage Cheese for lower Cholesterol 

• Artificial Sweeteners: Lets use the most Natural flavor of things, or Brown sugar for recipes. Agave for Cold Tea? Any Fruit to add to sweeten our recipes

• Nuts have heart-healthy fats, but they’re also high in calories: 1 handful (about 1 ounce) of oil-roasted mixed nuts has 175 calories; 3 handfuls have 525. Cut out nuts altogether and save more than 500 calories. Can’t resist ’em? Eat pistachios: 2 handfuls are just 159 calories

• Alcohol, Tequila? Whiskey? Too many calories, too much Sugar and your body doesn't really digest it well. Plus no beneficial for Heart conditions. Instead RUN IT OFF! Or drink just a Glass or 2 of RED WINE for Women to prevent Cancer. Men, look for hard liquor low in calories, just one zip per day. 
• Limit salad toppings-A big salad might seem healthy, but all those goodies on top can make it more calorie-laden than lasagna or fettuccine Alfredo. 
• Eat Less Pasta- One cup of pasta is just 220 calories. But typical dinner portions at restaurants can be as much as 480% larger than that 1 cup, according to New York University research.
• Ask to have your food cooked with a little stock instead of oil, or order steamed or poached entrées: you’ll save 124 calories per tablespoon of oil.

OTHER TIPS! Ways to Cut 500 Calories a Day

• Your skinnier friends are probably fidgeters, who burn up to 350 calories a day just by tapping their feet or being restless.

Try it for a few days. Walk around while you’re on the phone, or tap out a tune with your hands or feet (in the privacy of your own office, of course).In fact, do a couple of swaps a day and you can drop 10 pounds in 5 weeks! 

• Dont Eat in Front of the TV. Instead, eat at the table, and trade 1 hour of TV for a casual walk. Together, that’s 527 calories burned.
• GET ENOUGH SLEEP- Burn 500 Calories by sleeping more than 7 hours everyday.

BACK TO ROUTINE! LETS BEGIN IT WITH THE RIGHT FOOT.. Back to School tips for better Routine

Instead of pushing the snooze button three times before finally rolling out of bed, why not try something new tomorrow morning? Just one (or all!) of these tips will amp up your morning routine and set you up for a fabulous day.

1. Get in enough cuddle time

Your outlook will be infinitely brighter if you take a few minutes to snuggle and hold onto something or someone you love in the morning. Be that a child, dog, cat, teddy bear, or significant other, studies show that the act of cuddling is very calming, boosts your immune system, reduces stress, and will help you wake up at the right speed. So lets hug for 2 Mins! 

2. Drink your Lemon with Water then Tea

This practice is a game changer. By drinking water with lemon early in the morning, will help detoxify as well as to clean your liver, to absorb better the nutrients and have your organs work as optimum as they can. Hot water with lemon is a nice alternative that won’t tax your adrenals. It is said to flush toxins out of your system and stimulate good digestion. Plus, it’s so darn good!

3. Write out morning pages

IIN visiting teacher Julia Cameron encourages everyone to handwrite morning pages – three pages of free-flow stream of consciousness first thing in the morning. They will help you get ready for your day by getting all your thoughts on paper and put you in touch with your subconscious feelings so they can inform you on how to prioritize your day. Multi-tasking tip: you can write your morning pages while you’re drinking your Water!

4. Drink your Tea and Shake!

Do you usually start your day by reaching for a cup of coffee? Then another just so you can get out of bed? Try by taking your tea.. take a Shower then in 2 mins your shake will be ready. More than 21 Vitamins and Minerals packed with the Protein = Perfect Breakfast; ready to go and will make you start a day in the perfect balance to keep going. Follow it with your meal plan. Any goal you setup, look at it everyday and ENJOY it!

5. Practice sun salutations- 15 Minutes of intense Exercise or RUN

Sun salutations in yoga are extremely energizing and uplifting; they awaken both the body and mind. They’re also a great way to experience a sense of gratitude – after all, you’re literally saluting the sun! Plus they get your blood pumping and lymphatic system moving. Read through this Yoga Journal article to learn the how’s and why’s of Surya Namaskar. Or go RUN before you are wide awake and able to say NO within your inner voice that tells you that you can't. REMEMBER TO DO EXERCISE WITHOUT EVEN DOUBTING 

6. Meditate

Five minutes of sitting and observing your breath can do wonders for your mental state! Meditation calms your mind and nervous system and boosts your immune system – a total win-win! When you first start meditating, sit in a comfortable cross-legged position with your back against the wall so you don’t slouch. Set a timer, close your eyes and observe your breath.  

7. Get organized the night before

Making your lunch, packing your bag, and laying out your clothes at night will save you time and decrease your morning stress. Just think – no more running around trying to find your keys, changing your outfit three times and driving fast to make it in time! Plan your agenda for the next day, the week.. it will decrease anxiety as well as will give you the 15-30 mins of exercise!

8. Get enough sleep to begin with!

We know this is the hard part! But not sleeping enough contributes to hormonal imbalances, weight issues, headaches, memory, and cognitive impairment.  Yikes! Make it a priority to get in bed earlier and you’ll wake up feeling well rested, instead of cranky and exhausted.

Wake up just half an hour earlier to try any or all of these steps – you might be amazed by the results. Here’s to a productive, happy morning that will set the tone for your whole day!

What’s your favorite morning routine? Did we miss any here? Share them with us in the comments section below this post.

GLUTEN FREE

If you’re burdened with health problems and are struggling to lose weight, it may be a good move to begin subtracting gluten and grain products from your diet as a precautionary measure.

Diet assessment helps gain needed insight as to what may be going on with any particular person. In many cases, the simple subtraction of gluten (or wheat products, in general) from one’s lifestyle is a great way to see if any health complications clear up. In some cases, it can make a huge difference.

But simply removing gluten is not enough!

Once gluten is taken out of the picture, substitutions must be made. Making sure that you’re making the correct choices.

If a person decides to make the transition toward a gluten-free life, many foods then become unavailable. It’s confusing! You don’t want to jump into such a lifestyle without having a solid platform by which to grow, and this is where lifestyle coaching and metabolic advising can help.



GLUTEN FREE INFO

Wheat Belly by William Davis, MD began flying off bookstore shelves in 2011, millions of people began to realize that gluten, itself, may be the root cause to their many health issues.
Gluten-related symptoms can affect a person in a myriad of ways. With symptoms ranging from depression and brain fog to irritating skin rashes and painful digestive-tract issues, people are removing gluten from their diets for varied reasons.
Whether you are removing gluten from your diet because you:

• Know that you have Celiac Disease (autoimmune disease).

• Know that you have a wheat allergy.

• Have discovered that you have a Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) by removing gluten from your diet and watching symptoms disappear.

• Suspect that you are or could be NCGS and are starting an elimination diet to self-test.

To maximize those benefits and your overall sense of well-being, we want to ensure you go about removing gluten the smart way!
It can be tricky at first…
While it is becoming increasingly more common and easy to remove gluten from your diet, one topic that is going largely unaddressed is HOW one should transition toward a “gluten-free” lifestyle.

Trying to Eat Less Sugar? Tips to Help You Reduce Your Sugar Intake

Sugar hides in hundreds of everyday foods.

The World Health Organization announced Wednesday that it now recommends that no more than 5% of your daily calories come from sugar (about 100 calories for the average person).

An uncontrollable sweet tooth does more than just make you fat. Recent studies show that excess sugar intake raises risk of death from heart diseaseby 20% or more, regardless of other health problems. It’s also been shown to mess up metabolism, impair brain function, and raise the risk of diabetes and maybe even cancer.

Trying to eat less sugar is difficult – and not just because we like it so much.  Sure, it’s hard to give up something that tastes so good… but what really makes eating less sugar so tough is the fact that it’s nearly impossible to avoid it.

There is so much sugar added to so many foods that the average American adult eats about 22 teaspoons of sugar – that’s 350 calories’ worth – every single day.  To put another way, that means we’re each eating about 3 pounds of sugar a week, or 150 pounds a year, or nearly 18% of our total calories from sugar alone.  Where is all this sugar coming from?

What are Added Sugars?

Some sugars naturally occur in foods – like lactose (natural milk sugar) or the natural fructose that adds sweetness to fruits.  Those aren’t added sugars – they’re just a component of these foods in their natural state.

But added sugars are just what they sound like – they’re sugars that are added to foods during processing, or during preparation, or at the table.

When spread jam on your toast, or sprinkle sugar in your coffee, or when a recipe calls for a sugary ingredient, you’re adding sugar to your food, of course. But it’s the processed foods we eat that dump lots of added sugar into our bodies.   As foods are processed – becoming further and further removed from their natural state – a lot of sugar is often added along the way.  A small fresh apple has some natural sugar in it – maybe 15 grams or so – but process it into sweetened applesauce and you’ve now got another 15 grams of added sugar per serving.  Natural whole wheat has virtually no sugar in it -  but process it into sugary cereal flakes and you could be eating a few tablespoons of added sugar in every bowlful.

Sugar In Foods – The Sugar You See

Some added sugars are pretty obvious – like the jams and jellies, table sugar, honey or syrup we put on our foods.  Then there’s the 53 gallons of sugary soft drinks that the average American consumes every year – which accounts for about a third of our total added sugar intake.   We also get plenty of sugar from treats like cakes and cookies, candies and frozen desserts.  These are the sugars we can see – but nearly a quarter of the sugar we eat is hidden away in processed foods.

Sugar In Foods – The Sugar You Don’t See

Unless you are a fanatic about reading ingredients labels, there’s a good chance that you’re eating sugar you didn’t even know about – and in places where you wouldn’t expect to find it.  I’ll bet you didn’t think a serving of pasta sauce could harbor nearly 5 teaspoons of sugar, or that 80% of the calories in ketchup come from sugar.  Once you start looking at ingredients lists, you’ll find sugar in everything from soups to salad dressings.

 5 Tips for Cutting Your Sugar Intake

• Read Nutrition Labels.  This is really the first step in reducing your sugar intake for a couple of reasons.  First, sugar comes in many forms, so you’ll want to read your ingredients list carefully for words other than just “sugar” – sucrose, glucose, dextrose, latose, maltose, brown rice syrup, fruit juice concentrate, maltodextrin, corn syrup, molasses are just some of the many, many forms of sugar added to foods.  On the flip side, be aware that those sugars that naturally occur in foods – the lactose in milk and the fructose in fruit, for example – will show up on the nutrition facts panel as “sugar” even though no sugar is added.  The nutrition facts panel on a package of frozen, unsweetened strawberries might list 10 grams of sugar per serving, but that’s just the natural fructose in the fruit.  Check the ingredients list to be sure – which, in this case, should just say, “strawberries”.

Look for words including brown sugar, corn syrup, maltose, fructose, dextrose, molasses, agave, brown rice syrup, cane sugar, cane syrup, and evaporated cane juice. By law, ingredients must be included in descending order by weight, so the higher up on the list you see one of these additives, the more sugar per bite. And you may find multiple types. These 12 products don’t seem overly sweet, but they typically contain some form of added sugar in the ingredients: ketchup, salad dressing, soup, crackers, flavored yogurt, spaghetti sauce, bread, frozen dinners, granola, protein bars and shakes, and sushi.

• Nix sweetened beverages Nearly 40% of the added sugar in Americans’ diets comes from sugary beverages like soda, sweet tea, lemonade, and fruit punch. Just one 12-ounce can of regular soda contains about 140 calories, all from added sugar. The American Heart Association recommends limiting added sugars to less than 100 calories daily for women and 150 for men, which means that a single soda meets or exceeds the limit. Kick the habit, and replace sweet drinks with good, old-fashioned H2O spruced up with healthy, flavorful add-ins like lemon, lime, fresh mint, cucumber, or a little mashed fruit.
• Sweeten foods yourself.  Many foods that come pre-sweetened – like cereals, yogurt, salad dressings or ‘alternative’ milks (like rice, hemp or soy) have surprising amounts of sugar.  Some varieties of instant oatmeal have more than a tablespoon of added sugar (in a very tiny packet – and who eats just one?), some single-serve yogurts pack 30 grams (7 ½ teaspoons) of sugar, and vanilla-flavored rice, hemp or soy milks can have more than 3 teaspoons of added sugar in an 8-ounce (240mL) cup.  Even if you add your own sugar to these foods, you can certainly get by with less.  To cut sugar even further, try sweetening cereal with a sliced banana or a handful of berries. And here’s another trick – try dropping a whole date or a few raisins and a few drops of vanilla extract into your carton of unsweetened ‘milk alternative’.  It adds lots of flavor with just a trace of sugar.
• Enjoy naturally sweet flavors.  Your taste buds may be so over-saturated with sugar that you’ve lost your appreciation for foods that are naturally (but not overly) sweet.  Fruits are an obvious substitute for sugary desserts, but sweet spices – like cinnamon, nutmeg or clove – add sweet notes to fruits, cereals or yogurt in place of sugar. 
• Cut back on liquid sugar.  It’s an obvious suggestion, I know.  But when you consider that half the US population consumes a sugary drink on any given day, or that 25% of American adults take in 200 calories a day from sugary beverages, it’s a suggestion worth repeating. Curb your intake of soft drinks, sweetened coffee and tea drinks, and fruity drinks like lemonade.  Instead, try flavorful teas, or add some citrus peel or a slice of fruit to your water for a calorie-free beverage.   
• Picture how much sugar you’re eating.  Sometimes it helps if you visualize how much sugar you’re actually eating, so here’s a tip for you.  Every four grams of sugar that’s listed on the nutrition facts panel is equal to a teaspoon of sugar – or about one sugar cube.  A soda label that lists 36 grams of sugar in a serving may not sound that bad … but when you picture the nine sugar cubes it contains, you just might think twice about drinking it.

  Buy plain foods and sweeten them yourself
  It’s becoming easier to find plain versions of many foods these days. I’m not talking about products made with calorie free-sweeteners (which I don’t recommend), but truly unsweetened goods, including Greek yogurt, oatmeal, and almond milk. Switching from sweetened vanilla almond milk, which contains evaporated cane juice, to unsweetened vanilla, which lists no added sweeteners, saves the equivalent of about three teaspoons of sugar per cup. If you need a little sweetness, add it yourself to control the amount and type you use. For example, some of my clients prefer swirling a teaspoon of organic honey or maple syrup into yogurt or oatmeal at breakfast, both of which provide some nutrients and antioxidants, rather than buying pre-sweetened versions made with more refined sweeteners.
  Trade sweetened foods for naturally sweet fruit
  One of my favorite tricks to share with my clients is how to replace foods laden with added sugar for fruit, which is naturally sweet and just as satisfying. For example, in place of strawberry jam on PB&Js, use warmed up frozen strawberries. Just one level tablespoon of jam packs 50 calories and is typically made with three sweeteners: high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, and sugar. A half cup of frozen strawberries (about eight times the volume), warmed up on the stovetop and seasoned with a little cinnamon or ginger, contains less than 25 calories with no added sugar, and has bonus vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. Fruit—whether it’s fresh, baked, grilled, or pureed—makes a great replacement for sugar in lots of dishes, from cookies to coleslaw.

  Limit sugary treats to once or twice a week 
  It’s not realistic for most people to go through life never having a sweet splurge. But setting some limits on how often you indulge in sugar-rich foods is certainly reasonable. Pick a day or two a week, maybe Wednesdays and Saturdays, to enjoy can’t-live-without goodies like candy, baked goods, or ice cream. Just knowing that you have a pre-planned treat to look forward to can help you avoid giving into temptation more often, and can result in seriously slashing your overall sugar intake.

Here are some of the products I highly reccomend to have an Optimum time during your pregnancy and provide your baby with the BEST NUTRITION possible, aside from all the veggies, Protein and Water you consume daily!

When consuming the products, I will make sure you dont have any other issues, and if you do, we can always refer back to the Doctor's and look at your Lab values in order to provide you with the Best Coaching Service. Remember the FREE Health Evaluation is for your benefit of knowing what YOU need, what can I do for you and what I reccomend for you and your baby!
If you are breastfeeding, you can still use the same products. I used them until my 15 month old baby stopped breastfeeding. I was able to provide her with Great Nutrition and I had energy for my two Toddlers ;)


Here is the list:

• 
  
• 
• Formula 1 shakes with added Personalized Protein Powder as an added supplement not a replacement, one in the morning and one before bed as I always got up starving in the middle of the night since pregnant. I found that by taking my shake in the morning as soon as I got up took away any sickly feeling I had and then I was able to eat ‘Regular Food ‘ an hr later.
• Fiber supplements to help with digestion when put on iron tablets by the doctor, the fiber helped stay regular.
  

  • Supports growth of friendly intestinal bacteria*
  • Promotes regularity and healthy bowel movement*
  • 5g of balanced soluble and insoluble fiber
  • Add to Formula 1 for a thicker,smoother shake

  • Soothes the stomach
  • Supports healthy digestion
  • Relieves occasional indigestion
  • Supports nutrient absorption and intestinal health
• When in need of Energy, use the NRG Tea

TESTIMONIALS
"Herbalife Nutrition products are the best products on the planet. They are packed with vitamins and minerals and are fantastic in pregnancy. My best friend was 5 months pregnant when she started using the products for excellent nutrition. And she found that none of her symptoms from her previous pregnancy occurred on this one. She had amazing energy throughout the rest of her pregnancy and the birth was much better and she was much stronger to deliver. Herbalife Nutrition is safe for adults, children and babies in the womb. In fact its a great way of ensuring that you are getting all the vital nutrients you require to grow a baby. Food just isn't what it used to be. I wish i had been taking the products when pregnant on my three children. I intend to keep taking my products for the rest of my life and hopefully when i conceive again I'll continue taking them."http://www.steadyhealth.com/herbalife_products_and_pregnancy_t193147.html


***Herbalife produces many different products for various needs, though many people use the protein shakes for weight management or fitness goals. The most important thing to remember during your pregnancy is that dieting is not recommended. Extra calories are needed each day for your body and your developing baby. Restricting these calories could cause problems for you and your baby’s growth due to malnutrition. Diet products, such as Herbalife weight management supplements and protein shakes, are not prohibited during pregnancy unless you’re using them to diet, or relying on them every day for your nutritional needs. Please consult your physician before adding supplements to your pregnancy diet.

OTHER PRODUCTS:

The Protein bars and Roasted Soy Beans are a brill snack I kept about 3 of each my bag at a time and nibble on them when I was hungry.

Hydrate from the herbalife 24 range which I love as it ensures my body was always hydrated, and dehydration can be very dangerous when pregnant.

I also use all of the Herbal Aloe Vera personal care range as its all natural, sulphate and paraben free and iv been using the Herbalife body scrub & contouring crème and I have no strechmarks, which I still cant believe as my bump was huge. I was 160 pounds with my first baby, then was 145 until my second pregnancy when I started the Nutrition. Now I am 110 lbs and working on my flat stomach ;)
