Detoxing Your Body – Part 1

Oh, I have been on an eating binge since the holiday season began. Candies, cakes, ice cream – anything that is bad for me. And on top of that, I stopped exercising. Now, I am feeling the effects. I feel sluggish and just want to sleep all the time. And my belly – oh, let’s not even talk about how it’s grown. What I plan on doing is detoxing and exercising at the beginning of the year. I know a lot of people make a weight loss resolution each year, but I am miserable right now and something has to … Continue reading →

Eat Soup And Lose Weight – Cabbage Soup Diet

Most of us tend to think of soup as something to sip on when we’re ill, are low on grocery money, or for a light lunch. While all of these things are true, soup can also speed up your weight loss efforts. I’ve read before that by just having a bowl of soup before lunch and dinner, it can help you drop the weight without feeling deprived. For just a few calories you can feel full and satiated so that when you dig into your meal you don’t eat as much. Anyone who’s had a bowl of soup and sandwich … Continue reading →

Marthas Vineyard Diet Detox

Posted on by

Sure, they promise that you’ll lose 21 pounds in 21 days but before I start explaining how this works, you should know that the authors named this the Martha’s Vineyard Diet Detox because that is where they live. You should also know that it is my opinion that they live there because they can afford to. This 21 in 21 system will cost you a serious chunk of change and there is no money back guarantee. According to the authors, all sales are final. Reassuring, huh? Roni DeLuz is the founder and director of the Martha’s Vineyard Holistic Retreat at … Continue reading →

Tweaking the Diet

Posted on by

I received this email and since there is so much in it that we can all learn from, I wanted to share it and my response: “My husband said he read something that said it was dangerous to consume less than 1200 calories per day without a doctor’s supervision. I’ve been averaging around 950 calories per day for my meals. I have lost 24 lbs, averaging 0.6 lbs/day, 4 lbs/wk. I have been surprised by my progress, but I feel great, lots of energy, etc. I have a basal metabolic rate of approx. 15 calories per day per pound of … Continue reading →

Why You Should Detox

Posted on by

The topic of detoxifying tends to polarize people. Some people swear by it while other swear about it. I hope to help you out here in case you’ve been wondering what all the fuss is about when it comes to the detox. I published a blog on the Master Cleanse some time ago. It has been particularly popular with those looking to lose a few fast pounds but I’ve tried to be absolutely clear that this is not a quick fix meant for the yo-yo dieter. While one of the side effects is usually weight loss, doing a detox like … Continue reading →

Is Your Diet Putting You At Risk For Breast Cancer?

Three years ago this month my mother was told she was cancer free. The good news came after major surgery, months of treatment and a complete overhaul of her diet. My mom’s breast cancer diagnosis acted as a severe wake up call to our entire family. As you likely know by now October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. What you may not know is that breast cancer affects over 200,000 women in the U.S. each year and about 40,000 women die annually from the insidious disease. As I mentioned earlier my mother is still with us, but as a … Continue reading →

The Magnetic Diet

This diet claims to be revolutionary–don’t they all. None the less, I do recognize that different things work for different people. In reality this only makes sense. Everybody’s bodies are different and our weight struggles are different. Of course we will all respond differently to different diets. Nonetheless, regardless of which diet you choose to follow; be it a simple weight loss plan involving a small change in habits or a massive over haul–the way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you eat. With that said, let’s take a look at the magnetic diet. This diet is … Continue reading →
