Break the Fast. Breakfast: the Most Important Meal of the Day

Lose weight. Eat Breakfast. What’s for breakfast? Coffee? Most mornings we barely glace at the kitchen. Fixing  breakfast  takes up precious time that’s in short supply. But there’s ample evidence that the simple act of eating breakfast, every day, is a big part of losing weight. Lots of weight. People skip breakfast thinking they’re cutting calories, but by mid-morning and lunch, that person is starved. Breakfast skippers replace calories during the day with mindless nibbling, binging at lunch and dinner. They set themselves up for failure. Eating breakfast should be a daily habit and is an important strategy to lose weight and keep it off. Another problem a lot of people have is eating a breakfast loaded with carbohydrates and it creates blood sugar issues. Click to download presentation with more information! . When you don't eat breakfast, you're actually fasting for 15-20 hours, so you're not producing enzymes needed to metabolize fat to lose weigh

Is Your Digestive System Making You Sick and Fat?

There might be something wrong with your inner tube and it could be making you sick and fat. You may not even realize you have a problem, but if you have health concerns of any kind or if you are overweight, your inner tube could be the root cause. Of course, I’m not talking about a beach toy. I mean the inner tube of life, your digestive system. It is likely that you suffer from, or have suffered from, some type of digestive disorder – irritable bowel syndrome, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, reflux, gas and other things to gross to mention. And you are not alone. More than 100 million Americans have digestive problems. Two of the top five selling drugs in America are for digestive problems and they cost us billions and billions of dollars. There are more than 200 over-the-counter (OTC) remedies for digestive disorders, and many can create additional digestive problems. Visits for intestinal disorders are among the most common reasons for trips to primary care

Three Ways to Lower Your Risk of Heart Disease

Preventing heart disease has very little to do with simply lowering cholesterol with statin drugs. We believe we are treating the causes of heart disease by lowering cholesterol, lowering blood pressure or lowering blood sugar with medication. But, the real question is what causes high cholesterol in the first place. It is certainly not a medication deficiency. Most of the blame lies with the way you eat, how much you exercise, how you deal with stress and the effects of environmental toxins. These are the underlying causes of high cholesterol, high blood pressure and high blood sugar. That is what determines your risk of heart disease, not a lack of medication. Dietary recommendations to help prevent cardio-vascular disease The first step in preventing heart disease is to eat a healthy diet. Some practical tips: To avoid the blood sugar imbalances that increase your risk for heart disease, eat protein with every meal, even at  breakfast . This will help you to avoid sudde

Fiber. To Take or Not to Take. That is the Question.

If I said to you, “eat more fiber and potentially live a longer, healthier life,” what would your response be? Would you say, “fiber is full of carbs and is going to create weight gain?” Believe it or not, fiber can help you lose weight, is found in many delicious foods, and can help you avoid common diseases. This  article   summarizes a recent American Journal of Medicine study, and vividly shows that most Americans don’t get enough fiber. It also provides guidelines on how much fiber you should consume daily and mentions the types of foods that are filled with fiber. An earlier study conducted by the National Institutes of Health, found that a diet high in fiber reduced fatalities from  heart disease , respiratory illness, or infectious diseases by 56% in men and 59% in women. In addition to my  multi-vitamin  (and other supplements), I personally take  Herbalife ’s  Garden7  every day to ensure that I get the proper amounts of fruits and vegetables. Bottom line, eat more f

Weight Loss Is Hard - 5 Tips to Dropping Extra Pounds

Do you remember at the beginning of the year, what is probably the number one new year’s resolution? I want to lose weight, eat healthier, and feel better. I know I’ve set this goal for myself many times, only to see it fall the minute I’m faced with serious temptations. Why, oh why, is this weight loss so difficult? There are many reasons, but a common theme would have to be that it requires a lifestyle change to lose weight – and keep it off. Prior to becoming an  Herbalife  distributor and getting serious about nutrition and the mistakes we make, I sure loved my processed foods and sodas, diet, of course, thinking I was doing the right thing if drinking a soda with zero calories. Boy, was I wrong. I have cut over 95% of sodas and processed foods from my diet. The question I want you to ask yourself is, “do you really want to change your life or are you looking for an instant fix?” Ever try to buckle down and work out and eat right for a few weeks, lose focus and go back t

Ten Reasons to Take Vitamin Supplements

Back in my early 20’s and still in the United States Marine Corp, I did research on vitamins and their benefits. Since then, I never missed a day, well maybe just a few. I prioritized the importance of taking, at a minimum, a good, 100% pharmaceutical grade multivitamin and omega 3 which has tons of benefits. Even at that young age, I was realistic with my so called diet and knew there was no way I was feeding my body properly with food alone. That was almost 30 years ago. I made it such a priority that I placed the supplements right next to the coffee machine to ensure I didn’t forget. As much as I did my research, I would admit that I consumed a lesser grade vitamin, a vitamin packed with fillers. For example, I would get a 50% benefit and the other 50% was garbage with no real benefit to my body. No wonder, I was getting a 6 month supply for $39. You get what you pay for and my health is important and so is yours. Herbalife’s multivitamin is 100% pharmaceutical grade and is wha
