Multivitamins: Should You Use Them Or Are They A Waste of Money?

Multivitamins are exactly what they sound like: multiple vitamins. They're supplements that contain several different vitamins in each one. They can also contain several minerals and other ingredients like amino acids or fatty acids. And because there are multiple ingredients, there are low doses of each ingredient.

In fact, they are the most commonly used supplements in the world!

There are 13 vitamins and at least 16 minerals that are essential to health. You need certain amounts of all of these nutrients for optimal health. In fact, nutrient deficiencies can impact reproduction, growth, and regulation of bodily processes.

How Visualization Works for Weight Loss

How Visualization Works for Weight Loss

Visualization, when it comes to weight loss, is a technique where you picture your ideal body. You imagine yourself (often) looking many pounds lighter and feeling free from your body image crisis. Using visualization for weight loss allows the time and space for your mind to work with your body in order for you to overcome any potential or unknown mental barriers on your weight loss journey.

Weight Loss visualization helps create a subtle shift inside of your body. Sometimes this shift is craving healthy foods or wanting to eat less. But more often than not, this technique will help make your body slowly adjust to what you're visualizing in a more organic way, not forced. It can be applied to many other things aside from weight loss but today I want to teach you how to use it specifically FOR weight loss.

I’m going to give you an amazing visualization technique that you can use each and every day (several times a day!) to start your weight loss journey using your mind, body and soul. Please keep in mind, it won’t occur right away, so don’t expect to shed 50 pounds in a month. Instead, this technique is meant to help you continuously lose gradual weight so you don’t hinder your weight loss journey.

Haven't Changed Anything in Your Diet But Still Gaining Weight?

Haven't Changed Anything in Your Diet But Still Gaining Weight?

You are positive that you're not eating more food or “junkier” food but you're still gaining weight.

Is this possible?

Yes!  You are NOT crazy!

And here's why.

We both know that the whole “calories in, calories out” argument is an overly simplistic view of weight.

There's definitely more to the story than just what you're eating, right?

A lot of this comes right down to your metabolic rate which is affected by things like your activity level, history of dieting, body composition, and even what you eat.

But, let's go beyond the “eat less and exercise more” advice and dive into some of the less obvious underlying reasons why you may be gaining weight even though you're eating the same.

Things like:

  • Aging
  • Hormones
  • Sleep
  • Stress

How Do I Keep My Blood Sugar Stable?

How Do I Keep My Blood Sugar Stable?

Does the words 'blood sugar'  conjure up visions of restrictive eating, diabetes medications, or insulin injections?

Blood sugar is the measure of the amount of sugar in your blood. You need the right balance of sugar in your blood to fuel your brain and muscles.

The thing is, it can fluctuate. A lot.

This fluctuation is the natural balance between things that increase it; and things that decrease it. When you eat food with sugars or starches ("carbs"), then your digestive system absorbs sugar into your blood. When carbs are ingested and broken down into simple sugars, your body keeps blood sugar levels stable by secreting insulin. Insulin allows excess sugar to get it out of your bloodstream and into your muscle cells and other tissues for energy.
