Diet and Health

Take control of your life and your health by proactively making easy changes now.  If you are like me, your love handles are there for a reason, you have created them. What you really need is a lifestyle change to lose them and make sure they do not come back.

CLEAN OUT THAT KITCHEN - Please see my article on tips for a Healthy Kitchen. Rid your kitchen of all of it’s evils even the things you didn’t think were evil. Throw out all products with high fructose corn syrup, and products with partially hydrogenated oils. Throw them all out.

RESTOCK - Stock your kitchen with healthy food that you can eat in large quantities, such as blueberries, baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, sweet potatoes, steel cut oats, sprouted wheat bread, brown rice and corn tortillas.

GET MOVING - Clean, garden, reorganize your house, play with your kids, go up the stairs an extra time, park at the far end of the lot and start walking each day. You can start out slow, walking 5-10 minutes per day. Work yourself up to 60 minutes per day within 1 month. Add in other exercises such as crunches and weight training.

CONCENTRATED EXERCISE - There are many different kinds of abdominal exercises that can help with your center. Double crunches, crunches, reverse crunches, you’ll feel it if you do them correctly!

KEEP UP THE POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE - You can do it, I know that and you know that, you just need to do it everyday. Create and use a personal mantra to keep you going. Say it to yourself daily. For example: I know I can!
