Key nutrients and weight loss

  Today's  note is about recognising the importance of  maintaining optimum nutrition, whilst pursuing your weight loss goals.
For example, if you are deficient in any key vitamins/ micronutrients, your body primarily gives you warning signs such as fatigue, illness,lack of concentration, poor quality sleep etc.  This is indicative of your body not being able to function at its best, and therefore you don't feel as good as you should.

Micronutrients are a key part of nutrition, and while they are not directly related to weight loss, they play a vital role in keeping your body healthy. If  you think about about it, for effective weight loss to occur, you body has to be functioning to it's optimum ability.  That means for your weight loss to happen, your body has to be properly nourished.  If you are missing a few key vitamins, it can actually inhibit the weight loss process and you will not lose weight as you should.  That's why fad diets long term, inevitably don't work.  They simply don't address the importance of maintaining a good nutritional profile, and therefore your body becomes less efficient as you limit your food intake and hence nutrients.

That is  how the Reshapeology 8 week Mentoring Program is different.  It is about  not just losing weight , but making sure that your body is revitalised with essential micronutrients to keep your body functioning at its best.  It allows your metabolism to soar at it's best because key nutrients  are available to facilitate it's function. 

So, if you are thinking about choosing a  weight loss program to follow, remember that your journey should be guaranteed success, with a weight loss program that considers your nutritional needs.

Thanks for reading and good wishes to you all.. :)

CHOICES

'The difference between someone who is in shape and someone who is out of shape, is that the individual who is in shape, exercises even when they dont want to...  '  Is this true??

Well, what is true is that life is all about 'choices'.  It is about making changes if you are truly unhappy with something about your life. 

So, when it comes to being  healthy and in shape, it's about putting youself first and not allowing the usual excuses to keep you from pursuing your goals. Work pressures, a hectic schedule,  lack of energy, etc. are all real  and exist  BUT...  should never stop you day in day out from prioritising your health. Remember, true wealth is health always..

So, if this is  the day that you decide to choose to be healthy and get your body back in shape, here are some simple pointers:

 It is about learning some discipline when it comes to your food choices and portion control.
 It is about sticking to an exercise program and yes, exercising even on the days  you feel you don't want to.
 It is about knowing that all your hard work will be rewarded directly to you, each and every day.
 It is about respecting the value of being healthy


What you have to know  is that one you make any key decision to change,  it really can be life changing.  If  you have always longed to have the body of your dreams, it  becomes possible, just from the new choices you are now deciding to make.
 It really is all in your reach.YOU possess the power in you to change today.  Make that choice.

All  good wishes and thanks for reading..:)

Important choices re.what you drink ..

While the whole world is so busy telling us constantly about what is good to eat and what is not, they seem to be missing a piece in the puzzle...

 

Here's the piece...  What you choose to drink on a regular basis, is in fact just as important as the foods we eat.  Once upon a time  there were so fewer choices in both food and drink and so much less processed and refined foods.  The benefits of this were that  our human bodies were not so dangerously damaged and affected as they are today. Unfortunately today, society is plagued with individuals who are insulin resistant, leptin resistant, diabetic, or with metabolic X syndrome.  These disorders  are all a cumulative consequence of too much processed and refined foods and drinks. They have simply overloaded their systems so much with these choices that the body gives up functioning as normal and starts to retain weight and to malfunction. Therefore it makes it very tough for someone to lose weight easily. Drinking sugary and diet drinks is a  NO NO as it  aggravates the system even more -again fuelling it's decline. Caffeine too has an adverse effect, stressing the nervous system out to the hilt and again leading to a viscious and continuous cycle of dysfunction. 

So, my advice is that there are many drinks out there that may help  you to reach  your goals by helping the system into a state of recovery.  Chicory root  powder is a great substitute for coffee, nourishing the kidneys and liver and cleansing the system.  White Peony Tea is miraculous as a white tea that is extremely high in antoxidants and again helps the liver and kidneys and lowers blood pressure.  It also is said to calm the brain  helping with stress and anxiety. Herbal teas are great , in many flavours and very refreshing. And lastly, WATER both carbonated and still are a MUST and with a slice of lemon  lime or ginger in the morning really stimulate the body to  function at its best.  Try  to make these good choices when you choose the foods you are eating.  both are equally as important as each other and you will reap the benefits in how you look and feel ! :-)

MORNING!

You know you must be doing something right, when you wake up every morning with lots of natural energy! This is just another benefit of exercising regularly, - it regulates your whole system. Start today! :)

APRIL POWER!

It's true what they say about every individual out there having the innate power to bring changes to their life.  And, on that note - I know that the same applies concerning each individuals personal  ability to change and achieve their physical goals including :-  their likes and dislikes about their body shape, their struggle with maintaining or even starting weight loss,  their desire for a toned conditioned body etc....

This  POWER lies within you- ready to bring the changes your body needs to feel healthier and happier.  You just have to 'BELIEVE'  and 'TRUST'  in your own capabilities and know that whatever physical goals you have are 'POSSIBLE'. 

When you give  yourself the chance to move forward  in this way , instantly you will feel  as if  a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders, your whole being.This weight  was made up of all those doubts, fears, failures and negativity about your current body image and the trap it was in.   As you allow yourself to  believe in all of it being possible, your mind and body will start to truly connect  and you will know that although gradual, this connection will allow you to change your body and your life - FOREVER..

Human intention is a powerful force.  It  works when you apply it to other mediums,  so why for a moment doubt  it's power to give  you to the body you deserve?? :-)  IT WILL !!!
