A.Creating your ideal body always comes from within. I know this for a fact because in the past I have struggled with my weight...trying to will myself to my ideal body and it didn't work.

In fact I have a book coming out in March that deals with this exact topic!

I have been in the fitness industry for many years and I see too many products trying to sell women thin on a quick fix diet. If you are looking for a quick fix then you will not find it here. I am into the long term permanent solutions.

Coming this Jan. I am going to be revealing my new look for my blog and business as the more I have grown into who I really am and the message I want to convey to women.

In the coming year make it one that you vow to grow within yourself in all areas of your life. Creating your ideal body is just a small piece of the puzzle. When you become aligned with yourself on the inside you will indeed create your ideal body.

When I came across this website that
talked about a one-minute cure for
virtually all diseases. My first
reaction was, "Yeah right!" Sounds
too good to be true -- but wait till
you read what it's all about.

The info gives lots of *proof* that it's
the real deal -- I'm convinced!

This one-minute cure is an awesome therapy
that most people will never know because
powerful enterprises, cartels and agencies
whose financial interests are threatened by
it are keeping this info from reaching
the general public.

But today, you'll find out how to use this
astonishing cure to heal yourself and your
loved ones of disease -- and *prevent* yourself from getting any disease as well.

Let me know what you think.

I hope you are excited to start the New Year off right...and this doesn't mean going on a diet either. In fact most women that make diet resolutions will fail to keep the weight off.

Why? Because diets and resolutions never work in the long run.

If you are focused on creating your ideal body this New Year, then you need to think differently...this means building your metabolism and working on yourself on a much deeper level.

You may ask what does working on myself have to do with my metabolism?

The answer is EVERYTHING!

I know this for a fact because it happened to me! I was allowing my life to spiral out of control and as a result my body was following and the only thing that allowed me to bring my body back was working on the inside.

What about nutrition?

Yes, that also is important too. If you want to create a faster metabolism then you will have to start eating more fat burning foods that I discuss in my 6-Week Fat Burning and Mind Empowering System

Oatmeal
Lean chicken
Green beans
Lentils

(and the list goes on)

Start there and watch your metabolism rev up like a furnace. Keep in mind that you also need to create workouts that are fat burning. This means using your whole body instead of just small muscle groups.

Most importantly start the New Year off right with feeding your mind first so that your body will follow.

Heather :)

I emailed her back to tell her that until she accepted the way she looked that her body would never change and I also told her about my new book "Body of Love: 57 Secrets To Creating Your Ideal Body Using The Law of Attraction". I told her how powerful my book and system that I have created could not only change her body but her life.

A. Absolutely! I have worked with many women over 50 in achieving their ideal body. You need to first believe in yourself and forget what most women say when they are in their 50's such as....

"At my age I just can't seem to lose weight"

"It's too hard at my age"

"I've tried everything and nothing works at my age"

These simply beliefs so if you chose to believe in them then that is exactly what you will experience. You need to only believe that you can achieve your ideal body even in your 50's.

This takes the right plan, patience, and perseverance. I find that women in their 50's are not as active then they were in their 30's so make sure that you are getting in sufficient amount of weight training and cardio sessions in during the week. For starters you can start out with 3x week of full body workouts and 3 cardio sessions.

You may find that you need to supplement with more calcium, add more protein to your daily intake, and increase your EFA's. Make sure your eating enough high quality calories so that you can build lean muscle and burn body fat.

The most important secret to staying fit in your 50's is programming your mind for success. You are not your age. So think young and you will see and feel the results.

Have a great week!

A. If you have what you call flabby areas that still have muscle, actually it means that you have extra body fat or have lost some muscle. The only way to truly determine that is to do a body fat test.

In order to tone up any flabby area you simply need to reduce your body fat. Many women like to make it more complicated then it really is. Your muscle does have memory so once you start training with weights again and adjusting your nutrition program you will find the flabby areas tightening up in just a few short weeks.

My rule of thumb is if you haven't seen any changes within at least 4 weeks, then change your program.

Have a great week!

A. If you find yourself not being able to stick with a routine when it comes to your nutrition and exercise program then you are not giving yourself a big enough reason. What I mean by this is you need to give yourself a big reason as to why you want to either stay on your program or get to your goal.

Ask yourself these questions:

How will staying on my program improve the other areas of my life?
Am I doing this as part of a lifestyle or a quick fix diet?
Am I taking daily inspired action every day?
Do I make excuses for missing a workout?
What is happening in my life that is taking me out of the flow?

Asking yourself these questions will help you to understand that there is more to this than you think.

Q. How to target and remove lower abdominal fat/belly fat
(from Carmen)

A. You can't target lower belly fat. However, you can eat and exercise to make sure that you are burning it off. If you have lower belly fat that seems impossible to burn off. Here are the most important things to consider:

1. Check to see what your total calorie intake is. You can do this by creating a free account on fitday.com. Many times you are could be either overeating or under-eating.

2. Add more intensity to your workouts by doing body weight exercises. I have included these routines in my 6 week fat burning system. These exercises will give you maximum fat burning results.

3. Stick with natural unprocessed foods. Foods that have additives can definitely make a difference.

A. There are so many so called fat burners out there that it's challenging to keep up with all of them. I have had a few women ask me if I have heard of Ackovar and if it works. The truth is I don't even need to google it to tell you that NO it doesn't work. All of those ads you see about fat burning supplements where the women are extremely lean didn't get that way not by taking that supplement. They got that way by training and eating the right way. They put in their time and effort into the gym and planning their meals. I know because in order to get my body super lean I have to put in the work that is required and there are no shortcuts.

There are so many supplement companies out there that are trying to sell you on their product claiming that it will help you achieve this look. Unfortunately, they are falsely misleading many women. If you look at the small print in any of these ads it will always say this:

"Results NOT typical" and that supplement X was taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise.

My advice is save your money and invest it in a program that works, and one that doesn't require popping pills to get you slim. One of the reasons I created The 6 Week Fat Burning & Mind Empowering System For Women, was that I was sick and tired of women being scammed into these latest diet crazes or pills that simply just don't work!

The only fat burning supplement that you will ever need is a solid program and taking daily inspired action towards your goal!

A. Any time you have a sugar craving it's due to an imbalance
in your nutrition. I would first look at your nutrition to see exactly what you are eating.
Here are some key things to keep in mind:

Eating sugar makes you crave MORE sugar
Too much artificial sweetners can trigger cravings
Not eating enough protein
Not eating enough fiber (from your veggies)
Not drinking enough water (coffee doesn't count as water either)
Drinking too many sodas or even diet soda/ energy drinks
Eating too many refined carbohydrates (like breads or crackers)

The key is have a balance in your program and when you do you won't
find yourself craving sweets all the time.

I find the secret is to just give yourself a day to have what you want because
if you do tell yourself that you can't have anything it will only make your cravings
even more intense. I find sometimes just having a bite of something sweet helps
the cravings under control.

A. If you are for the first time trying to figure out the SECRET
to achieving the body you want and feel overwhelmed then you are not alone.

There are so many programs out there and it's no wonder why you are feeling that way.
Most programs target quick fixes and fast weight loss which are not permanent solutions.

Here are the 4 keys when starting a new program to change your body:

1. Keep it simple- So many women like to complicate things when they are first implementing a new exercise and nutrition program. If you learn to just keep it as simple as possible you will get results. I know for a fact that this works because I have use this exact principle in my system.

2. Do something that moves you closer to your goal every day! Simply planning for your day is huge. This is everything from the time you get up to when you go to bed at night. If you have a busy day simply plan the night before by preparing your meals to take with you for the day. Also, plan out an exercise schedule for the week and stick to it.

3. Focus your attention on what you want. If you are constantly complaining about what your body looks like how do you think it will ever change? Focus your energy on what the vision of your ideal body is and hold onto that until it happens. I assure you it will happen much faster than you ever imagined!

4. Measure your progress. I don't mean the scale either! The scale is a worthless piece of garbage and does nothing for your self-esteem. Go by how you feel everyday and how your clothes are fitting. Try on clothes that are too tight about every 2-3 weeks. If they keep getting looser than stick to what you are doing.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
I have an exciting news to share with all of you so stay tuned later this week...as I will be revealing some life changing information that you will benefit from as so will so many other women will as well.

Heather :)

A. Cardio can interfere with muscle ONLY if you are doing too much
and not eating enough. If you are not eating enough to support your muscle then cardio will have a negative effect. Look at marathon runners, their bodies are gauntly skinny with very little muscle tone because they are essentially running off their muscles. Other the other hand, if you look at a sprinter's body they are lean with muscle.

Look to see how much you are eating per day and that you are eating enough to support your lean muscle.

Make sure you add interval cardio session to longer sessions. Doing all steady state
cardio not only will your body adapt but is not as efficient in burning fat than intervals.

It's a good idea to have a mix of both. I highly recommend cardio in addition to your weight training program, especially if you are looking to burn more fat. I actually teach clients to build their metabolism and not to drastically cut calories which will result in a slower metabolism and muscle loss.

Remember more lean muscle= FASTER METABOLISM

The amount of cardio you should do will depend on your goals. There is no one size fits all program. If you aren't seeing result in at least 4 weeks of on a specific program then you need to switch things up.

Have a great week ;)

Burn more fat the right way:
6 Week Fat Burning & Mind Empowering System For Women

A. I love this question and I do get emails from men that want to know how they can encourage their wives or girlfriends to workout together.
No matter who it is here are some important things to consider....

Make sure you never come from forcing someone to workout with you learn how to communicate to them in terms of their values and not yours.

What I mean by this is let's say you want your wife to workout with you because you feel she needs to lose weight and you tell her that. Chances are she will react in a negative way and there goes her self worth. Find out what she values or if it's your husband or boyfriend you can do the same.

For example, if your wife values having new clothes you could say "Honey, I know how much you love buying new outfits and I would love to take you shopping when you look and feel your best....are you open to me showing you how to do that?"

The same thing can be applied if you are a woman and communicating it terms of
your man's values. Just find out what is important to him and speak to him in a way
that makes sense.

You can't force someone to do anything and if you try it will only repel them away from you. Always comes from love, support, and learning to communicate in terms of what they value. That's why most marriages or relationships fail because we are so consumed about how we think our mate should act and not stop to realize it's in the
delivery of our message that counts.

Vision Board

Check out this cool video about creating your dream life!

Check out the vision board software by clicking here

I have seen the power of how using vision boards can work as I have manifested
trips around the world!

You can use this for your body and in any area of your life.

What you focus on does become your reality....so why not focus on a powerful vision!

One of the SECRETS is the decision to take inspired action everyday towards your goals and not wishing or hoping your body will change.

Asking yourself the question everyday of "What do I need to do today that will keep me focused?" is a great start. I find women like to complicate things and when they do take no action. If you are one of those women who tends to analyze everything...then stop!

Your mind is the only thing that stops you from achieving your ideal body and that's why
developing a laser focused mindset is the REAL SECRET. I know because I have had to go through the exact process myself. When I beat myself up my body stayed stuck..when I took inspired action my body started changing.

You may be inspired to look like the latest celebrity which can be great, however, if you feel you are obsessive then it's time to reevaluate what your ideal body should look like and not what you see in a magazine or TV.

Stay the course and know that creating your ideal body is an inside job!

Q. What are the best fat burning foods? (from Maria)

A. Some of the best fat burning foods that I list in my 6 Week Fat Burning & Mind Empowering Systemare the following:

Oatmeal
Brown rice
Lean chicken
Fish
Green beans

When eating these foods can help you feel great while burning the fat. However, it's the total caloric intake that is the most important. You can create a balance while still enjoying your favorite foods which includes pizza.

There are several way you can do this:

Have what I call a "flavor flash"- this is simply a taste of whatever you want everyday
Design a free meal each week- whatever you want have it (however this does not mean eating an entire gallon of ice cream)
Mix up high and low calorie days- This helps you not only to eat more but helps a sluggish metabolism.

Have a great week!
Heather :)

A. It's a combination of things. If you're looking for a quick fix then forget about it. Here are the top 4 keys to releasing unwanted body fat!

1. Having a strong WHY for doing it. If you come up with generic reasons such as improving health and fitting into a smaller size chances are you won't stick with it. Your inspiring reason why needs to be POWERFUL. Come up with a list of your WHYS and
if you start to feel inspired then you know you are on the right path.

2. Create a plan that works for you. If you have tried many diet programs and they still haven't worked it's because you are thinking short term. Creating a powerful plan that will allow you to melt body fat should be something you can live with. That's why diets never work in the long run.

3. Measuring feedback. If you are on the same program for about 4 weeks and nothing is happening you need to change things up. Sometimes that means shifting calories and or going up in calories or down (create a free account on www.fitday.com to see how much you are eating a day), changing workouts, and/or cardio. Also note it's not the weight on the scale that determines that you are on the right path! Instead, check body fat, how your clothes are fitting, and how you feel.

4. Feed your mind. This is the most important factor when creating your ideal body. No plan will work if your mind is constantly saying:

"I can't do this"
"I am fat"
"I hate my body"
"It's always been hard for me"
"It's my age"
"It's my genetics"

You mind has the power to program you for success or fail...you chose!
If your dominant thought throughout the day is obsessing about your body then
you should ONLY focus on changing those thought patterns.

That's why I created the 6 Week Fat Burning & Mind Empowering System because it addresses all of these issues.
