Yes!!!! It is the last day of January and… How many of you decided to lose some weight at the end of the year? Others decided to make more money, move to a new place, buy a new car, change the hair color or style, etc. How are you doing? Did you start a DIET and already quit? Did you decide to make more money and still looking for something to do? So many resolutions. The best way to make them happen is to write them down, read them and next to them, using a scale from 1 to 10, see how important it is to you. Then.... just plan and go one step at a time. But, go ahead and move towards your goal. Everything is possible.
Lets talk about Weight Management. If you already gave up.... You are not alone. Many people decide to make so many changes before the beginning of the year that become overwhelmed with everything at once. Good news for you, with a change of eating habits, you'll never be frustrated again about food.
Get ready! Go ahead and let me know what has happened, what is your "weakness", ohhhh mine was bread!!! I was addicted to it. Never was satisfied and wanted bread as many times as possible. Sounds familiar?
When it comes to finding an additional stream of income, I am glad I found mine. February is around the corner, ask yourself this: "What do I want?" go ahead and make a commitment with "yourself" and do it! Success was and still is my only option. Make it yours too.
Be back in February. If one of your goals is to lose some weight. Join us! I will be sharing with you my progress with my weight management program and will be posting some pictures too.
To your continued Health and Wealth,

Do You Weight Yourself Every Day?
This is a recipe for frustration. Haven't you noticed how sometimes even though you don't lose weight, you DO lose inches! Suddenly your pants are not as tight as they used to be. This is why instead of "checking my weight" I "check my pants" : ) This has helped me inmmensly, I keep a pair of pants that are "too tight to wear"; you know, the ones you put on and then can't sit. Those! I try them on once a week to check my progress. Or a pair of pants that are a little too tight and need to lose only a little bit more. The first time I decided to do this for real... After trying one diet after another, losing and then gaining back plus a few extra. Wow! How sometimes we mess up our metabolism. Once I found this system, it has been an eye opener. Even though I have always eaten very healthy, to lose the pounds I would not eat this or that and that guilty feeling every time I ate something "wrong".
Well, to get back to the point, The first time I finally decided to go ahead and change my lifestyle, the pants I took out of my closet would not go any further than my knees. I have to tell you, those pants are GONE now, because they were too BIG on me! My goal is to drop one more size and then is maintain.
Remember, it is completely up to you; you will decide how fast or slow you want to make the changes, as long as they are "permanent". You will begin to live a happier, healthier life. I live my life... and I do NOT Diet.
Share your thoughts and progress with me. What are your goals? Have you experienced "Yo-Yo" dieting before? When you are on a "Diet" and go out, eat something out of your "Diet menu", what do you do after? Just forget about everything and keep eating?
Don't forget to drink plenty of water and to take a high quality supplement. I take the essentials. which are a good antioxidant, minerals, omega on a daily basis, plus a few more every so often : )
Until the next one my friends!

Say "NO" to Diets
Hello! If you are here it probably means that you also have been on a "Diet". You know, the ones where you don't eat at all, or eat a lot of "this" and none of "that", where you are constantly thinking of what you "want to eat" but can't, of course. Days keep on going and going and suddenly.,.. AHHHHH! you just can't take it any more and eat everything that is in front of you and.... more. Of course since you already ate everything you wanted the day before, what the heck! Keep on eating everything. See! That is the main reason "Diets" fail.
Once this happens you either feel confusion, disappointment, frustration, or you may be feeling all of them. These emotions are felt by millions each year who start diets that the end result is failure. So, what happens then? We simply give up. Just because we did not achieve the promised result. Now you stopped "dieting" and probably even gained what you lost and maybe... a few extra pounds as well. I will be sharing with you a program that works, is safe and healthy for you. This is only the beginning. Welcome to the journey of finding the new you. Are you ready?
Here are Three Reasons Why Diets don't Work:
1) A Quick Fix By drastically restricting your calorie intake or food choices. Many never exercised before and now are making the time to exercise. Then, what happens? Almost everyone return to their old habits once the goal is achieved. Back to eating the same way as before and maybe since you have not eaten your "favorite food" are indulging a little. The exercise will probably find an excuse for "tomorrow". By doing this, the weight will come back, even if it is a little at a time.
What to do? Have a Permanent lifestyle change in order to achieve sustained weight loss.
2) Fad Diets = Unbalanced Nutrition This is when you disregard the importance of a balanced nutrition by eating only certain types of food.
What to do? Learn how to balance your food in order to give your bodies the variety of nutrients it needs, including proteins, fats and the right type of carbohydrates. Don't forget to have a good quality supplement. You are probably thinking that I am out of my mind. I know, by experience that it is easier said than done. I am admitting here to all of you that I was addicted to carbohydrates! As I keep on bloggin I will share my experiences with you. All I can tell you is that I have done it at my own pace, don't diet, and have never gained the weight back. Everyones experiences will be different, but I am here to help you and support you. As we progress I know many of you will have many questions and it will be excellent to have an excellent support. Lets cheer for each other. I have one more size to drop as well. I will tell you my story on the next blog.
3) The High-Glycemic Trap Eating High-Glycemic Foods can sabotage even the best of diets plans because the resulting spike and subsequent drop in blood sugar leads to a more rapid return feelings of hunger.
What to do? Have a better approach, which focuses on low-glycemic carbohydrates, which help to moderate blood glucose levels, leaving you feeling full and satisfied longer
WOW! It sounds complicated. Don't worry, Even though the program may not sound as easy as it really is. The beginning is the worst. But once you discover a healthier, happier lyfestyle and you look back, you are going to be so happy you did it.
You may request an appointment in order for me to talk to you and we can make the arrangements.
I'll see you in a couple of days here! Wishing you Success!
