If you haven’t heard, there has been a recall on all Slim Fast drinks in cans. For more information on the Slim Fast Recall >>>

I’m assuming that if you read this blog – you don’t have any, right?

Why? It’s milk, sugar, and chemicals. If you want a safe way to lose weight that actually works >>>

 

 

 

My daughter called it slime fat, lol!

Contrary to what commercial advertisers would have your believe, there is one diet that fits all.

It doesn’t matter if you want to lose weight, control your blood pressure, or cholesterol, or sugar levels, or increase your energy, or get sick less often, or look younger longer – the same rules apply.

It’s not low carb, or low fat, or high protien, or vegan.

It doesn’t cut out any (real) food group.

As a metter of fact, you can eat pretty much anything you want – as long as -

You eat in moderation.

You eat 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables every day.

You eat real protein including eggs, chicken, fish, and some beef every week. Make it organic, or free range as much as you can afford to, and limit your meat intake to 6 oz. a day.

You eat reasonable serving sizes – you know, 1 piece of cake – not half the cake.

You stay away from packaged and processed foods loaded with chemicals.

You avoid pop of all kinds, both diet and regular.

You get some exercise every day. That doesn’t mean you have to go to the gym. Walk, vacuum, dance, golf, whatever….

You get enough sleep.

You eat throughout the day to keep your metabolism, sugar levels, and energy levels constant. Don’t do all of your eating in the evening when you’re not going to burn it off.

You stop eating a couple of hours before you go to bed.

If you want it in a nutshell, that’s really it – in a simplified version.

In the Members Area, you’ll find hundreds of great foods to eat that will help you reach your goals.

See you over there!

 

 

  

 

I read an interesting article on Web MD today -  Chemicals Increasingly Linked to Obesity … And How You Can Fight Fat

“Obesity has become a national epidemic and it is increasingly creeping into the youngest of our population. In fact, an alarming new study reports that 1 in 5 American 4-year-olds is obese, up 300% since the 1980s, and many more are considered seriously overweight. This epidemic has compelled many to predict that our children will be the first generation to have a shorter lifespan than their parents. What’s going on?”

The article goes on to talk about the hormones in plastics.

Do you know – There is not ONE mention of the chemicals in all of the packaged and processed foods!

They are partially right – don’t buy foods packaged in plastics. Buy fresh foods that come in Mother Nature‘s own packaging. Foods that still contain healthy nutrients to keep your body functioning the way it is supposed to.

Do you know that when your body is fed the nutrients it needs, it will self regulate your weight?
