Oh my! Summer is almost here. Are you ready to change your winter clothes for shorts, tank tops, a bathing suit? Maybe you have been hiding inside the heavier winter clothing and the thought of revealing what is underneath those layers is daunting….scary…downright depressing.
Let’s do it together!! Watch for two more blog articles with tips on revealing our best bodies!
Our good friend, Dave, sent me this picture of him and his wife riding on an elephant while on a wonderful vacation. Dave said the ride was a bit bumpy!! I have never traveled abroad or ridden an elephant, but I became intrigued to learn more about these giant creatures, elephants.
Did you know elephants can be as tall as 13 feet and weigh up to 15,000 pounds!! Wow! They have pillar like legs to hold up this great weight. I have been trying to lose a few pounds—thankfully I don’t have that much to worry about!! An adult elephant can eat 300-400 pounds of food a day.
We love our food!! We eat to maintain and support our bodies, but some of us eat even when we are not hungry. Or we eat when we are hungry and never stop until we are stuffed.
Overeating can lead to weight gain and obesity, but there are so many other risks associated with overeating. It can lead to Type 2 Diabetes. Web MD says Type 2 Diabetes means your body cannot use insulin correctly and this makes your blood sugar levels harder to control. If left untreated, this can lead to other problems like damage to your kidneys, your eyes and your heart.
Then consider depression and anxiety. Often overweight people suffer with these. Are they bought on by overeating and being overweight….or does the depression or anxiety cause a person to continue eating way past the full signal? Either way, the extra pounds are just not good for your body!
Want to jump start your weight loss? Burn fat, increase metabolism, purify liver and colon…..? It is as simple as using SIP Weight Loss Morning Tea once a day and combining it with SIP Detox Tea every other night. How simple is that? A Weight Loss DUO packed with natural ingredients!!
For most Americans, tea is just tea! It comes in bag made by Lipton—or it is an overly sweet drink we purchase already prepared.
In many areas of the world, tea is a highly respected drink—with different tea leaves producing different flavors and great health benefits! Some teas are known to ward of diseases—others to aid in weight loss by increasing the metabolism, reducing appetite and burning fat!!
My friend, Dave, is a great guy and his emails brighten my days. If they hear me laughing in the office, most of the time is it from something Dave sent to me. BUT…there is one subject Dave is serious about! Dave is a Surgical RN and has specialized in Endoscopy for 15 years. Dave knows the importance of colon cleansing.
There are many methods utilized for colon cleansing—we will be talking about our UltaLife UltaCleanse here which is very mild as a laxative and cleanser used to assist in detoxifying the intestinal track.
The Christmas Season is especially difficult for those trying to diet—lose weight or even just maintain their weight. I used to start a diet thinking I had to deprive myself of good things…and to feel hungry all the time!!
Those kinds of diets usually fail. While you might lose a few pounds, you will tend to gain 
them back. No one can live in a constant state of hunger!! If you tell yourself you cannot have a certain food (like chocolate), guess what you will crave!! I have actually had chocolate call my name!!
I learned years ago that dieting is never a good idea. What you should do is make lifestyle changes. Modify your eating in ways you can continue. Don’t deprive yourself for 2 weeks and then go crazy eating after that!
Tips for eating and enjoying it—but not gaining weight.
I have learned some tips that have helped me through the years. I have been a long time Weight Watcher member and have tried to find ways to eat in whatever situation I am in…and make it work. I don’t beat myself up if I am not perfect. I just get up and start over the next day.
Growing up, my mom was a great cook. Bacon (and the grease) was used in almost every vegetable for seasoning. Sure it is great—but not healthy or low calorie. Instead of using bacon or lots of butter when cooking my veggies, I have learned to use chicken broth—or even just bouillon cubes. My green beans cooked this way are great. I use one bouillon cube per pound of fresh green beans. Try sautéing a chopped onion in just a dab of olive oil first and that will also add extra flavor.
