Want an Easy To Follow Healthy Diet Plan?

Don’t you feel great when you plan ahead and prepare healthy foods for on the go?

The good food choices keep you feeling your best.  Being prepared and having all your bases covered feels great as well.

Have a few hectic days in a row, and it really exhausts your reserves.  Grab unhealthy fast food and keep a frantic pace for even one day and you are running on empty, have several in a row and it creates a deficit that can be hard to recover from.

Once you establish a new healthy diet plan it will create continued success only so long as you stick with it.

Sue lost 120 pounds over about 2 years.

She was so proud of her accomplishment!

Sue knew that she would never go back to the way she used to live.  Her new life was worth all the difficult changes she’d made.  She would gladly trade all those comfort foods that used to be so much a part of her day, for the friends and activities that now crowded her busy schedule.

Life as Sue had become accustomed to it ended abruptly one night when she answered the phone and found out that her father had experienced a major health crisis and her family was gathering at his bedside.

The next morning she bought tickets and made arrangements for the trip back to her parents home in Montana.

Her sister picked her up at the airport and 2 weeks of emotional highs and lows followed.  Sue was glad to have the support of her family, but she still found herself needing those familiar comfort foods she had given up to reach her goal weight.  She was worried about the pounds she was packing back on, but figured she would have to deal with it once she could return to some sort of normalcy.

At the funeral, Sue just could not stop eating.  All the foods of her childhood where spread out on a table, and the raw heart ache from losing her father had her reeling.

On the flight back home the following morning, Sue felt puffy and bloated as well as heavy with grief.  She looked forward to getting back to a routine.

Coming home was certainly comforting.  But Sue was surprised to find that she had cravings that drove her crazy.  It wasn’t as easy to step back into the regiment that she had created for the 2 years of successful weight loss.

Her heart was aching, and it seemed to cause an appetite for all the wrong foods and it was next to impossible to ignore the relentless cravings!

Green Smoothies were something Sue had always resisted.  She didn’t mind eating wholesome foods, but the thought of blending them up and drinking them made her want to gag.

She began to give the disgusting green drink more thought when one of her friends shared her testimonial about complete relief from cravings almost immediately after starting Green Smoothies.

Sue almost hated to admit it when her cravings stopped after her very first Green Smoothie.  She wasn’t enjoying chewing her breakfast every morning, but hey whatever works!

The pain of grieving kept Sue using Emotional Freedom Technique to work through her most difficult times, but those Green Smoothies were the secret weapon that kept her from sabotaging herself with comfort food.

When you get off on the wrong track, Green Smoothies can rescue your healthy diet plan!

Can a List of Foods High in Magnesium Help You Live Your Purpose?

Ideal Weight, , , , ,

Are you living your purpose?

It is tough to drag yourself out of bed in the morning if you don’t feel driven by your purpose.

Whether you have found your purpose, or you are still looking for it, you need to focus on the desires of your heart.

The desires of your heart will always call you to your purpose.

A nagging urge that you aren’t doing what you should be doing can get really uncomfortable.

Do you see signs that your purpose is calling?

  • Feeling restless?
  • Do you sometimes get irritable without knowing why?
  • Does silence make you nervous?
  • Do you dislike down time?
  • What wakes you up in the middle of the night?

If your purpose is calling you, the best thing to do is get still and listen.

Your intuition will tell you where to focus your attention.
Your intuition will chart your course if you let it, and the secret to hearing your intuition is to relax and focus your attention on your heart.

That is where magnesium can be your best ally!

Magnesium is an amazing nutrient!

Anything that is tight, irritable, cramped, and/or stiff — whether it is a body part or even a mood — is a sign of magnesium deficiency.

If you are tight, irritable, cramped, or stiff you are going to have a hard time relaxing and tapping into your inner messenger.

Foods high in magnesium can quickly help you relax!

 

Think of magnesium as the “Relax Mineral” that empowers you!

Plan for success.

Laurie spent time with her Sacred Breathing every single morning.

She’d heard enough awesome testimonials about how Life Breath Club members had changed their lives that she knew it was worth her attention.

Ten years of pain and increasingly frequent colds, flu and bladder infections had made Laurie feel hopeless.  She wanted her active lifestyle back.

Her auto immune issues had taken the fun out of life.

The problem was that Laurie became overwhelmed with fear and anxiety every time she had a few moments of silence.  Just sitting at a traffic light was torturous, because she couldn’t turn off the negative train of thought that kept cruising through her mind.

She didn’t enjoy her own company.

Sacred Breathing felt impossible for Laurie outside the ten minutes she devoted to practicing in the morning.

Laurie took my advice and added foods high in magnesium to her diet.  She saw a big difference right away and started to use magnesium supplements as well.

For the first time in her life she felt like she could really relax!

Within a week Laurie was reporting that Sacred Breathing was no longer torturous.  She enjoyed it so much that it became easy to give it her focus again and again through out the day!

Choose foods high in magnesium with the intention of nurturing stillness and relaxation!

Laurie found that relaxing into the flow of life made realizing her dreams easy!  Her goals have gotten MUCH bigger recently and even those HUGE exciting goals don’t cause her anxiety.

She knows that Sacred Breathing will see her through and magnesium is her secret weapon!

Would a List of High Fiber Foods Motivate You To Eat Better?

Would a List of High Fiber Foods Motivate You To Eat Better?
Would a List of High Fiber Foods Motivate You To Eat Better?

That list of high fiber foods is the all star lineup for your healthy diet plan!

High fiber foods can help you to lose weight, prevent constipation, diabetes, and heart disease, help reduce your risk of high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, obesity, hemorrhoids, some cancers, high blood sugar, and it keeps your digestive system working properly.

Awesome foods, wouldn’t you say?

All plant foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seeds and beans, have fiber. But all fiber is not the same. Fiber can be divided into two categories and they have different effects on your body.

Soluble fiber is found in dried beans, peas, oats and oat bran, flaxseed and psyllium husks. It’s also found in fruits such as oranges and apples and vegetables like carrots.

Soluble fiber binds with fatty acids in your stomach and prolongs digestion time, helping to regulate blood sugar.

Studies also show that soluble fiber can help reduce your overall cholesterol count. But what’s even more important, soluble fiber lowers your LDL, which is considered to be bad cholesterol.

Insoluble fiber is found in whole wheat, wheat bran, vegetables such as cauliflower and green beans and the skins of fruits and root vegetables.

Insoluble fiber helps remove toxins from your colon and balance intestinal acidity. It also helps move waste through your bowel.

The recommended total daily fiber intake for adults is 30 to 40 grams. But most Americans get only about 10 grams of fiber a day.

Print this page out and post it on your refrigerator, or go grab a pen and paper!  You’ll want to refer to this list until you have memorized your go-to foods.

Have You Asked Yourself: How Much Am I Supposed To Weigh?

Ideal Weight, , , , , , , , ,
How much am I supposed to weigh?

Eighty percent of 10 year old girls in the USA go on a diet.

Why?

When you look in the mirror do you like what you see?

Unfortunately, if you are like most people, that is an uncomfortable question to answer.

I mean, even if you like what you see, does it make you feel arrogant to say … “yes, I like what I see in the mirror”?

Or perhaps if you are unhappy about being over weight, when you look at someone else who “looks good”, you feel unpleasant feelings of envy arise within you.

Jill was very unhappy when I met her.  She was the new licensed practical nurse hired to cared for Mr. Mendes, a heart failure patient that I had been taking care of for many years.

One afternoon while Mr. Mendes was sleeping I stopped by to check up on the two of them.  Since Jill had some time on her hands we decided to enjoy a cup of tea together.

During our conversation, she expressed how frustrating it was for her to understand the diet restrictions that Mr. Mendes’ daughter had instructed her to adhere to when planning his meals.

4“I think it is cruel to deprive him of foods that the rest of the family is eating”, she said. Continue reading Have You Asked Yourself: How Much Am I Supposed To Weigh? →

Will the Oprah Effect Cause You to Choose a Kind Diet?

The Kind Diet on Oprah

Oprah is talking about the source of our food!

This subject has been close to my heart for 20 years.  However, I am not quick to talk about it since I have not had much positive feedback around the subject over the years.

Twenty years ago I was a weirdo!

Now it seems that the Oprah Effect will make this subject fashionable.  Three cheers for Oprah!

I experienced some BIG changes from “The Kind Diet”:

  •  my panic attacks disappeared
  • within a week severe bowel troubles that had plagued me all my life vanished

In spite of the recommendation to choose processed foods, “The Kind Diet” is a good read that will help you make better choices concerning the foods you put on your plate.

Kind is good, and WHOLE and organic is better!

Will the Oprah Effect improve your health?  I hope so!

What you choose to eat has a big effect on the planet and on your body!

My dramatic improvements drove me to research food even more than I already had.

You’ll hear diet advice everywhere so let me share with you the basics that will really change your health for the better.

#1  Processed foods are really not good for you.

This includes bread.  What could be more processed than bread?

#2  Genetically modified foods are harmful.

GMO foods are lacking bio-energy that you need from your foods, and they also introduce allergens and transfer antibiotic resistance markers.

#3  High fructose corn syrup does not belong in your kitchen OR your body!

 

Just these basic guide lines will serve you well as you alter your diet.

Make a few small changes and see if you don’t feel an immediate difference.

As The Life Breath Coach, I teach that you can heal yourself with Sacred Breathing even without altering your diet, but proper nutrition is definitely the raw material that makes you who you are.  You really are what you eat!

Did You Know That Fresh Juice Is a Healthy Diet Plan All By Itself?

Did You Know That Fresh Juice Is a Healthy Diet Plan All By Itself?

Fresh Juice Will Improve Your Life!  Have NO Doubt!

Fruits are super foods, and your grandmother will tell you that you’ve got to have your veggies!

Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Juicing is incredible life giving nourishment AND it really works to bring balance to the acidity that most of us struggle with.

Building health is about creating a more alkaline environment within your body.  Your pH level is extremely important.

Balancing your body chemistry will create harmony in your body AND your life!

If the pH balance of your fish tank becomes too acidic, should you treat the water or the fish?

Be certain, that no matter what you do to the fish, if the pH of the water they live in isn’t right, they will DIE!

Every cell in your body is bathed in fluid.  If that environment is highly acidic, you will suffer the consequences in the form of disease!

Bring Balance To Your Body With Fresh Juices… From YOUR Kitchen!

A Juicer and a Bag of Fruits and Veggies Will Jump Start Your Healthy Diet Plan!

All juicers are NOT created equal!  You want a good one!

I own a Champion Juicer that has been in my kitchen for 18 years.  Talk about a work horse!  I know of several friends who have had theirs even longer.

Remember that you get what you pay for.  Inexpensive juicers will  cost you more in the long run because they will not yield as much juice from your fruit and vegetables AND they don’t last as long.

One thing is certain, if you can’t clean the thing in 5 minutes, you aren’t likely to use it often!

Good News!

There is a juicer on the market today that is as sturdy as a Champion, but has the added advantage of an even slower spinning chopping blade, giving you even better juice!

AND it’s affordable!

Get a Juicer and Jump Start Your Healthy Diet Plan!
