It is often said that we eat with our eyes. Though this might sound stupid, think about it for a second. You know that we are attracted by the opposite sex with our eyes. You wouldn’t go down on a woman who you weren’t attracted to would you? So, we do eat with our eyes [...]

Weight Loss Program: Small Changes For Big Results
Author: Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, Ph.D, ND, DACBN
Losing weight is the hardest thing that many people will ever do. And regardless of what the TV commercials and magazine articles would have you believe, there is no shortcut. Thats the bad news. But heres the good news, losing weight can be fun and fulfilling. You can enjoy your life to the fullest by making a few simple changes that will not only help you lose weight, they will strengthen the immune system, reduce fatigue, lessen the side effects of certain medications, prevent constipation and other digestive disorders, and maintain the chemical balance within the body. Its as simple as eating delicious wholesome foods and making exercise an enjoyable part of your day! Are you ready to make a few small changes that will lead to big results? Read on to learn about the only weight loss program you will ever need for permanent weight loss. We do recommend taking the product Slimirex with all weight management programs.Eat and Chew!!Improving your diet does not mean starving yourself or eating tasteless, boring foods. It just means that you need to be smarter about the food choices you make. You don't need tricks and gimmicks to help you lose weight. You need to learn the basics of nutrition and put what you learn into action on your dinner plate. That can be the hardest part of a weight loss program: translating words into meals! But the most important thing to remember about a healthy diet is that YOU SHOULD NOT BE HUNGRY. If you feel truly hungry (and not just bored) it is your body's way of telling you that it needs food to keep going. If you are hungry, EAT and Chew! Regular meals throughout the day help you stay full and in control of the foods you eat. Aim for five or six small meals to keep you going throughout the day. And when you have time, eat slowly and chew each bite of food 25x before you swallow. This gives you more time to enjoy your meal and allows you brain to signal your tummy when it's full. If you want to lose weight and keep it off for good, follow a nutritious eating plan that keeps you feeling full and in control. Make It Delicious!The best way to ensure you stick with a healthy diet is to plan your meals and snacks so that they include foods you actually want to eat. You will never stick with a plan that forces you to eat tasteless, boring food. Whats the point of living if you cant enjoy your food? If you want to lose weight you just need to be more selective about the foods you are choosing to satisfy your hunger. There are thousands of recipes in books and online that can offer delicious organic nutritious meals that fit well with a weight loss program. The key is to plan ahead to make sure that you have the time, energy, and ingredients to prepare these meals. Its not always easy. And there will be days when you simply cannot make it happen. But if you make the effort 95% of the time, you will still be able to achieve the goals of your weight loss program.Make your Weight Loss Program Interesting!They say variety is the spice of life. It is certainly the key to a good diet and a successful weight loss program. Keep your meal plan interesting by trying to eat a range of different selections. Remember, your body needs over forty different vitamins, minerals, and nutrients on a daily basis just to grow and function. Adding variety to your diet will help you meet these goals. I recommend the diet in the book Weight Loss Secrets Revealed available at http://www.weightlossobesity.com.Make Exercise A Part Of Your Day!Is it possible to look forward to a day that you know will include exercise? The answer is yes. Exercise does not and should not be boring or painful, but it should be a part of your day. If you hate to exercise, dont be discouraged. There are plenty of ways to make exercise fun withy your new weight loss program. Enlist the help of a friend to exercise with; this will keep you motivated and help you look forward to your workout. If you're busy and find too difficult to work exercise into your day, try breaking into fifteen-minute blocks. Research shows that three 15-minute workouts throughout the day can be just as effective as one 45-minute workout. Remember: Weight loss programs are not easy. If it were, we would all weigh our ideal weight and runway models would seem passé. But following a simple and easy to follow weight loss program can help you stay committed to your health and accomplish your weight loss goals. Stay connected with family and friends who can support you in you program and help you stay on track.To order Slimirex visit http://www.slimirex.com.About the AuthorDr. Group, the founder/CEO and clinical director for the Global Healing Center, heads a research and development team producing advanced, new, natural health protocols and products.

Tips and Motivational Advice for Keeping Fit One Day at a Time
Author: Beverley Brooke
Let's face it...Losing weight and feeling great isn't easy.BUT the journey is well worth it!Many people commit to their health and well being via a New Years resolution. Why not? The New Year is a great time to make a fresh start and commitment to your health.How do you remain motivated however for an entire year?The single most important piece of advice I can offer you is this:Don't give up, and pick yourself back up when you stumble or fall.Everyone slips here and there. Just because you had one cheat day doesn't mean your entire fitness and exercise program needs to be ruined.On the contrary. Everyone slips now and again.The key to sticking with a program is to make the slips MUCH less frequent than the days you are firmly committed to your program.So have that piece of chocolate on occasion and don't beat yourself up for it.Here are some additional great ideas for staying motivated throughout the year:Tip 1Don't make a habit of skipping breakfast.You should never skip breakfast. It is the most important meal of the day, and revs your metabolism to burn calories each and every day.When you skip breakfast, you are more likely to overeat and then feel guilty later in the day.Tip 2Don't weigh yourself every day. In fact, you should weigh yourself only once a week, and when you do you should do it at the same time wearing nothing.Why? Your weight actually fluctuates a good 2-5 pounds from day to day.Much of this is associated with fluid retention, thus has nothing to do with your actual fat gain or loss. Weighing yourself too often can be discouraging rather than encouraging.Tip 3Grab a partner in crime.Find someone that can be your partner in fitness. Call them when you are feeling unmotivated, and have them do the same.You are more likely to stay motivated if you have someone to lean on when times get tough.Tip 4Don't skip a workout because you are tired.Did you know that working out will actually help invigorate you? If you are truly exhausted, consider toning down your workout, but never give it up completely!Tip 5Reward yourself on occasion.All work and no play is not the way to go when it comes to your overall health and well being.Consider booking yourself for a massage or other pampering treat each month to keep you feeling great mentally and physically.Last but not least, remember to take small steps.Don't set outrageous goals. You won't lose 10 pounds in one week, but you might lose up to 2.Over inflated goals will only serve to defeat you in the long run. Set reasonable goals and you will find yourself much more motivated throughout the year!About the AuthorBeverley Brooke, Editor of Health & Finesse - Free health, diet and fitness articles and weekly newsletterhttp://www.healthandfinesse.com ...

The Power of the New Year
Author: Mark Susnow
THE POWER OF THE NEW YEAREvery year at this same time we all experience the same ritual. We assess how we did during the year. First we look at our bigger goals and that's the easy part. We either hit our goals or we didn't and we all feel differently about our success. The more difficult part is when we look at our subtle or personal goals which include our relationships, our food choices, our spiritual practices and a myriad of other possibilities. And of course this brings us to the New Year. In the beginning of the year we are enthusiastic about beginning anew. There is a power and determination that we only experience once a year. We might implement a healthy body program which includes diet and exercise, or we might renew our business or relationship goals. Whatever it is we usually recommit or expand upon our past goals with new fervor and new power but it's inevitable as the weather changing our most noble intentions encounter resistance. For a while we are able to resist the resistance but ultimately we falter and give in just like in other years and end up modifying our goals and resolutions. If we approach the New Year with the same old attitudes, beliefs and patterns is it really a new year? What we're really doing is giving in to our negative mind. We are letting our negative thoughts run our lives and stop us. It's the nature of the mind that it will always find ways to distract us from our focus. We will not be able to expand what is possible in our lives until we transform our relationship to resistance. Once this occurs the way we look at goals and resolutions will also be transformed and the possibilities in our lives will be infinite including mastery over our negative thoughts. Let's make this year have a power that you have not previously experienced. Assume there will be resistance, and assume that it doesn't matter if there is because you know what's on the other side. You know that not giving in to resistance is the gateway to transforming your life. A few years ago my son, Josh, brought home a quote from the gym that speaks to me and I think will speak to you. It's about "The Workout" and how a workout is much more than going to the gym and getting exercise. When we look at "The Workout" as a metaphor for life, the possibilities for transformation are infinite. And then the form of the workout doesn't matter. WHAT IS A WORKOUT?A workout is 25 percent perspiration and 75 percent determination. Stated another way it is one part physical exertion and three parts self discipline. A workout makes you better today than you were yesterday. It strengthens the body, relaxes the mind and toughens the spirit. When you work out regularly your problems diminish and your confidence grows. A workout is a personal triumph over laziness and procrastination. It is the badge of a winner-the mark of an organized, goal oriented person who has taken charge of his or her destiny.A workout is a wise use of time and investment in excellence. It is a way of preparing for life's challenges and proving to yourself that you have what it takes to do what is necessary.A workout is a key that helps unlock the door to opportunity and success. Hidden within each of us is an extraordinary force. Physical and mental fitness are the triggers that can release it. A workout is a form of rebirth. When you finish a workout you do not simply feel better, you feel better about yourself.There will be continual challenges along the way that will enable you to experience a sense of mastery over your resistant mind. Let me know what it is you discover in this quest to make a daily practice part of your life. To expand upon this opportunity you might want to rewrite this quote using a different word than workout. On a practical level what is your workout going to be? In a metaphorical sense what will your workout represent ? I am curious as to what comes up for you and I love receiving your many responses and feedback. Feel free to pass this letter on to the friends in your circle and let them know about the advantages of being on the journey.Some of you have wanted to know about my other programs and services. In addition to one on one coaching a great way to make the lessons of these letters your natural way of being is through my Ecourses and Teleclasses.
