I have no idea what day I am on…
I’ve lost track at this point – and have nearly lost myself in just surviving through the run-on-Mondays!
Isn’t there someone who can rescue me? Even if it’s just from my children….ugh

Safe Organic Foods

Oct
Organic foods are grown by using natural resources like animal dung, dried leaves, plant base matter, animal manure, and many other natural materials.
In other words, organic foods means foods those are in accordance with specific production standards. They do not have customary pesticides sprayed on them, they have not been cultivated with manmade fertilizer or dirt trash, and they do not have food additives as well.

Weight Loss Tip #17: Remove Toxins from Your Body Naturally
16
Jul
In order to lose weight, it takes a two step process. First, you must remove the toxins blocking your fat burning hormones controlled by your body’s organs, and then you must feed your body the right nutrients it needs to activate these hormones (naturally). You need to eat properly to activate hormones. If you’re too busy to cook and don’t like the vegetables you need to consume in your diet program or you want to super charge your results; I would highly recommend you supplement your diet with your body type supplement.
There are four types, custom made to support whatever body type you have. All the products are all natural, pharmaceutical grade, made with organic, and food-based!
FYI – this is what your body type kit will help with (the price is about $150 for the complete 8 week program…Detox kit and Fat Burning kit):
· Works naturally as a Total Body Cleanse…helps purify the liver, organs and blood.
· Helps restore absorption and helps balance the fat burning hormones
· Replenishes the body with nutrients that can help activate the body to shed fat cells
· Increases overall health
· Increases energy, naturally
· Reduces cravings of sugar, fried foods and carbohydrates (even chocolate!)
Weight Loss Tip #14: Stop Comparing and Know Your Own Triggers
12
Jul
Don’t compare yourself to others. Everybody is different, and every ” body” is different! Everybody loses weight differently as well. This is the reason why I always support 4 different body types. I’m sure you have found that even if you follow the same diet and program as someone else followed, who did lose the weight they wanted to - doesn’t translate to success where YOU are concerned.
The key is in knowing your body, and finding out what works for your body. The body type philosophy is based on hormones, which control metabolism and can either trigger fat burning, or fat storage. Hormones are triggered or blocked; by foods, exercise and other activities. The best way I know of, to learn about your body’s triggers, is to find out what body type you have (knowledge is power!). Then, keep your goal in sight, and do whatever you have to do to meet that goal. When you start looking at someone else’s weight, you’re losing focus on what the real goal is…get yourself to a healthier, happier stage…and don’t worry, the weight loss will follow. After all, its physically impossible to be anybody but yourself!
You Have to Be Healthy Before You Can Lose Weight
08
Jul
You have no doubt heard that you should lose weight so you can be healthier, because obesity is a health risk causing heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and stroke. Right? People have been pushing the idea that fat
directly causes these other problems.
This is not true!
Dr. Berg found it is just the opposite. You need to be healthy first before you can actually lose weight. You are fat because some area of your body is unhealthy. In other words, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, stroke AND
obesity are all the result (symptoms) of the same thing—an unhealthy body. Somehow, someone has assigned obesity as a primary cause or a disease, when in reality it is an effect or result of something else.
The problem with making it a disease is now it gets treated with medication, and if some nonmedical practitioner treats it, he or she could be practicing medicine without a license. If you have stubborn weight problems, you have unhealthy hormones. You can’t be fat and healthy at the same time. The body can’t and won’t release fat until it is at a certain level of health. It shouldn’t surprise you to learn why your body is holding on so dearly to fat if you understand the purpose of fat. It is a survival mechanism, and the body will not let go of fat until the source of stress or the threat to survival is gone—in other words, until the body is healthy.
Weight Loss Tip #9: Define Your Best Exercise
29
Jun
The benefits of exercise are undeniable. It increases circulation, flexibility and stamina. Exercise helps to regulate mood, weight and sleep and is a key component to living a vital life. No exercise was created equal. You must decide which types of activities, exercises or sports you enjoy. Next, you’ll find answers to your typical exercise excuses. You might like running, so run. You might like swimming, so swim. You might like dancing, so take a samba class. Don’t pick a routine that you don’t like or you won’t want to do it. If you do, you certainly won’t stick with it for long. I’ve lost weight without hurting myself, and you can, too. Compete with yourself. Avoid the tendency to compare yourself with others by focusing on your abilities. Make exercise a part of every aspect of your life.

First of all, there is no such thing as cellulite. It was a word coined by people who advertised they could rid you of “lumpy” fat by using massage and passive exercise for muscles. The word cellulite refers to the type of body fat that on the surface looks like the peel of an orange, [...]
