Keep your friends close, and your Frenemies closer!

Keep your friends close, and your Frenemies closer

I originally wrote this in July 2012 and it did really well on one of my other blogs. So I decided to post it under my Branson-Local news blog, and Link it to my bransonisfun.com website. Enjoy!

We've all had them. Friends that were really enemies. How do you define what afrenemy even is. The Urban dictionary defines them as "someone who is both friend and enemy" a dual kind of friend. It could be a song, they say your their friend, but their not. But its true, we all have people who bring us down, who navigate the boat of relationships down the wrong road, all the while throwing the rowers into deep water, with sharp teethed fish prowling around. What do you do? What if it is a family member. You can't fire family right. What if it is an employee, that actually does their job and a good one at that. I think the solution belongs in how you handle these people, by establishing strong boundaries. Letting them know that their wicked ways just have to stop. That you have spied them out. Doing the double fork fingers from your eyes to their eyes is just not enough. Honesty is the best policy. Once you let the frenemy know you are onto them, be prepared for murky waters, the ones without the oars. Here is a list of a couple of movies to check out with great frenemy sub plots: 1. frenemies starring Zakk Galfainkus 2. Dodge Ball Vince Vaughn 3. Due date Robert Downey Jr. 4. I love you man Paul Rudd Check these movies out, and decide to keep your enemies close, and your frenemies closer.

How to sharpen your brain power using the 8 hour diet

2015-10-12T08:04:00.003-07:00

I really don't know how long I've been using these techniques. But they work for more than just dieting, and can even help you sleep better, make more money, and think better.
The other night as I sat at my desk in my office. I began to wonder. Is a diet, a diet, a diet. And the suprising answer was no. Every dieter looks at the word diet, and describes it inside themselves as food starvation. And it is not just that, it can be many many things. The old term diet used to mean going without food, or your favorite foods, or reshaping the way you eat, to create a new behavior. Now Dieting can be a way of thinking as well. One thing I've noticed on the 8 hour diet, is the ability to think increases as you get closer to the point of breaking the fast. Eat betwee:
10 AM and 6 PM every day and notice several things:
1) Your thinking sharpens as you get two hours out from breaking your fast. The theory is that the longer you go without food, the sharper your mind becomes, as it needs to find food. As the body empties out it's carb and fat stores, the mind becomes sharper. so thinking can be enhanced by depleting fat and carb stores? That is the question. By experimenting what I have discovered is my brain feels better, and clearer as I get closer to the point of breaking my fast, 10 AM. After 10am origionally I would eat whatever I wanted, from Pizza to candybars to coffee. Now a new thing I've tried is eating an egg based veggie breakfast to keep my blood sugars from spiking and keep my body burning fat. i'm also cutting out all the processed foods from my diet. I was eating pizza too much! Also tons of Dairy, and all kinds of stuff. I thought I was ok, because I could only eat this junk for 8 hours. BOTTOM LINE: This crap needs to go. Here are some things to elliminate.
high Processed foods, Soda, chips, sugary foods and moon pies, sweetner aditivies (Sweet n low, aspertame) Diet sodas, and on and on.
Watch what your body will be able to do, once you get these things out of your system. Your internal organs will begin to function better, and will clean out the gunk inside your body. Your mind will clear up, and your energy levels will enhance or return. How can this improve your mind, you say? Well eating for 8 hours a day, helps creat the fasting Brain, a sharper, healthier brain, that functions better so it thinks better. Also your food becomes a strategy instead of an emotional reaction, not a healthy body. Right now I do this diet 4 days a week and get off of it on Thursday night. So far I've managed to keep my resting weight, while eating when I want 3 days a week. Check out my website for more diet info leefranksmarketing.com.

How to do the perfect squat to help lose weight

2015-08-09T08:30:00.001-07:00

my weight loss website

Everyone assumes squats are easy, but most people do them wrong. And this always results in injuries

that slow and stammer weight loss. Here are a few things people do wrong:

1. They squat past their knees. This causes an imbalance with the weight, and you could fall. Over strains the knees, and could cause knee issues. And the focus leaves the glutes,hamstrings, core and legs. Squat to wear the knew is flush with the hamstring don't let the hamstrings go below the knee.

2.They don't use any weight or too much weight. Find a happy medium and use the right weight for you. This all ties into your weight loss and workout goals. What are you trying to accomplish, and Why. Find out what works for you and what takes those legs and but up a notch.

3. On the push up they are wobbly. Don't wabble go down with the weight and go back up with some nice force. But not to much keep your pace even you'll burn more calories.

Things to perfect the squat

1.Focus on your core, and your posture. As you go down look up just a little bit. This will pull your core in and work your abs as you squat down. Keep your focus centered, this will help prevent injuries.

2. Keep your legs even and your feet as well. As your squat down notice which foot may be weaker than the other and work on the balance of that foot away from the exercise.

3. Start with a weight you can handle, and don't go too big on weight. You'll be counting yourself out to fast.

4. Max out with spotters to find out what your max is and then build your plan to increase that max. If your max is 300 workout with about 150 at first and then max out again in two weeks. You'll see imrpovements.

5. lastly, work all your small muscles aside from your squat. Your hamstrings, calves, quads, work them individually, it will help your overall squat. My weight loss workout

Revolutionize your home work out plan

2015-06-25T19:07:00.004-07:00

How do you build an incredible Home Workout plan? I've always taken working out at home for granted since I've been doing Home workouts since I was a teenager. In My teens I did things like pyramid sets, sets to failure, Max sets, and Cardio. I ran track in highs school. Played basketball,baseball, and football. So I carried working out into my adult life.
But a few years ago (2011) I realized I'd missed the boat on my home workout. And I learned a very rare exercise, which I will tell you about in a minute that revolutionized my home workout.I realized that I was spinning my wheels working out and decided to make a change. I wanted to lose some weight and get those after 40 washboard abs. But I need to add some intensity to my workouts and this home based exercise did the trick. here's a list of exercises the will revolutionize your Home workout.

1)Burpees start with sets of 10 and do 10 sets. Yes thats 100 burpees. But burpees will teach you something about your body, and you need to learn where your weaknesses are. I found my flaws were in my gluteus maximus,knees, quads and wrists. I wear special gloves that help me take the pressure off of my hands.
2)Slow Pushups start with a set of five and start on the down going very slow. Do Only five and then do a regular amount of ten. Then do five slow again. your chest will go to failure and you'll begin to grow.
3)Leg raises Start with 10. Count down from 10 and when you get to 1 start with another exercise, when you come back do 9 and on and on. This is a good exercise to work in other hard exercises its like an o'rderve. But it works the upper abs very well.
4)Yoga helps the body tremendously Front stretches, spinal stretches, single leg stretches all belong in a good home workout.
5) Squats without a good squat program a home workout is not complet. Start with squats and see how your legs do once they begin to warm up. These are great for working the glutes, quads, calves, and hamstrings. Start with 10 and work backwards in sets until you get down to one.

Lose Massive weight like a HOBO and not hurt the pocket book

2015-02-18T09:44:00.005-08:00

Hobo's have it made. They eat well, stay lean, and don't spend any money. It's the life. But there are secrets to eating like a HOBO. The main thing in life is to stay lean, healthy, and looking good. And them Hobos they got it down. Here is a step by step guide to saving money and staying healthy like a hobo.

1)Eat lean-learn to put pots together. If your eating on the side of the road, you need to cook things fast. If someone is coming behind you with a club, you need to use the stirring club to hit them back. Or use it to cook some amazing soup. Soup keeps a young Hobo lean. You can make soups out of anything. Beans, suateed onions spinach, or if your a hobo an old fish head. I don't advise that though.
2)Buy healthy food cheap-the healthy Hobo, knows the price of what it will cost him to shop everyday from a can of beans to broth, to veggies. He knows what it will cost to eat and how long it will take to cook it. Cuz when your on the run, to catch that next railway car, you might have to take dinner with you.
3)Fast naturally-the 8 hour diet is a great regular fasting diet, so check out my other blogs,and join my blog here, to get updates on this diet. When you eat and how keeps a Hobo lean.
4)Water-drinking from polluted streams don't help a young hobo. So carry some bottled water with you to cook with and drink. And hydrate up when you get a chance.
5)Multi vitamins-eat hypotency food when you can to help you nourish yourself when your low on vitamins. This will compensate for any difishency's running from the law.
More to come from our Hobo series in the future, so check it out.

The Weight loss secrets of Celebrities

You've seen his shows, heard his spill,and enjoyed his music. But what was Marilyn Manson's bridge to staying so lean. Here's a few things most people never knew about Mr. Manson

1) He hung out with Skinny people. The rock star life is a hectic busy life, so its a good idea to hang out with like minded folk. Skinny people. Skinny people have a lower instance of heart disease, diabitees, heart attack stroke. What's not to like. They eat less than heavy people, and it promotes a heavy lifestyle, while trying to look cool.
2)This is a no brainer, but he ate less. While on tour, and writing all those books and stuff, he was busy. And had no time for Tom Foolery. Like eating large meals with too many calories.
3) He had one less rib than the rest of us, and it helped him stay skinny. Probably not true, but it makes for great lean strategy. Get rid of a rib and you'll just look skinnier, not true though.
4)He wore black, and it made him look skinny. Well black is slimming as they say.
5) Consumed a lot less of the bad stuff. He did but more of the really hardcore stuff. Like drugs and booze. I'm not sure sugar wasn't a good alternative on this one. When you drink your calories, its easy to keep the weight off.
6)MM's number one weightloss secret was-drum roll, he mastered how much he consumed. And focused on his music instead of his consumption of food. That's all you have to do. Not make the consumption of bad food such a priority, and reprogram your taste buds.

Lose weight like Rich Folk, and quit sugar too!

2015-02-17T14:52:00.001-08:00

To define the word rich, you could say a lot of things. A fat bankaccount.Great friends with a lot of money. Nice cars, or maybe even health. But rich can also be defined as someone who does things better with more efficiency. There is a right way and a wrong way to burn fat, look great, lose weight and get all the gunk out of our lives in more ways than one. And Rich folks are no different. Do it smartly and efficiently a rich person would tell me, and do it without spending a lot of money. "What?" Let's take another look at that. Don't spend a lot of money. That's right, lose the weight in the best possible way and don't spend any money. Actually save money.
Save money! How do ya say. You'll save money, because with this blog, as hard currency in your hand! You will start to cut the gunk out and start today. Just like a rich folk.

1.Cut the sugar out. Make this first on your pyramid. What has what I call sharp sugar in it. Lattees, coffees, sugary drinks. Anything with nitro in the title. Anything coming in a tall can, throw it out.
2. Cut bread out. Bread is loaded with carbs, and converts to sugar. Throw it out. Crackers, things with high processed flours, throw it all away.
3.Soy products need to go too. If it takes a nuclear reactor to make something, its propably not worth your time. Soy is one of the craziest process I've ever seen.
4.Drink lots of water, like a Rich person. And it doesn't have to be designer water. And you don't have to have a little dog by your side when you drink it. Just drink it. It will help metabolize the fat and rush it out of your body, like the poperatzi. Just no photoraphs please!
5.Rich folks love the 8 hour diet. And why shouldn't they! It tells you when to eat and what so go out and get the book or read my other blogs on this diet. And make it work for you. Look at it like this.

8 hour diet + cutting the sugar = weight loss its that simple

Why Quiting sugar is like quiting cable TV

2015-02-10T05:48:00.002-08:00

"Honey put that pair of them there Rabbit ears, a little higher so we can get that channel in a little clearer!"Thankie
Steps to quiting sugar right here!!!

Now

back to our noramally scheduled program. Quiting the sugar is like quiting cable TV. The more TV you watch the more your brain turns to mush. The more regular and invisible sugar you eat, the more your body turns to mush. As you begin to ween yourself off of Tv and onto more productive persuits. Things get better, and brighter. Well once you've stopped you seem to go back less and less. Thats the sugar Cable TV effect, as I call it. The good thing is people are evolving, and realizing their is a life outside of Cable TV and sugar. So Cable Tv now becomse Choice Tv (Netflix,Hulu, and Amazon) and less commertials (Mush) and its the same with sugar. No sugar now becomes healthier choices, (Pure Juices,lowered meat, less preservatives) and a lower body weight with less fasting. Happy choosing!

Sometimes you can throw a rock and break 3 or 4 windows instead of just one. Or drop a water balloon and it gets several people wet. Thats how I feel about this article. Sodium Laureth Sulfate sounds like the name of a very pretty girl. But isn't. SLS is found in many things other than shampoo. Soaps, Make-up, and cosmetics. Its a detergent like substance, and depending on the listing on the back, is usually number 2 on the ingredients roster. Every shampoo that I've had laying around the house other than a green tea extract body wash I am using right now, its in every one. And from what I've seen about our food supply, and our body products, no one at the big corporations cares what we are putting in our bodies. Profits over Pain I call it. Or seems to ever explore what these products do to us. I check the prices on Organic deoderandt and your going to pay two dollars more just for the name. And propbably read about 5 ingredients instead of 27. I always think of saying to my wife, " Honey where is that chart with all of those chemical abbreviations laying around so I can read these labels. The more ingredients in said product, th worse it is for you. You can always trace a product with what it was origionally intended for. This is a detergent. Its used to foam up products, make up,Soaps, Shampoos,so it appears that your are getting clean. But is this what you want to put on your face. Bottom line don't use it.

How to cut the sugar and lose massive weight, create amazing health, and feel good! Here's How!

2015-02-08T15:05:00.001-08:00

Several definitions I want to share before we even get started.

Hidden Sugars-Sugars unbeknownst to you and me that are in everything. From Spaghetti sauce, to can goods, to Pastas. Almost everything has hidden sugars even some tyoes of fruit. A banana has 14grams of sugar in it. My strategy, go for fruits and vegtables. That's the strategy. Begin to eliminate your daily sugar one spoonfull at a time. If you break it down a little at a time ( This is the secret by the way) you will being to see the results. Your sugar levels in your blood will begin to normalize and you'll start to lose weight. As well as stave off things like Diabitees and heart disease, stroke, all kinds of stuff. So here are some tips to get started.

1) Breakfast-eat an omelet with minimum cheese, plus bean, kale, and use olive oil as your cooking oil. Before you eat your omelet take this
ACV-Apple Cider Vineger-this will help double down the blood levelling qualities of a lowered sugar diet. Then eat your omelet.

2) Check the carbs on the foods your eating, vs how much Dietary Fiber is in the food as well. Beans have about 1gram of sugar, vs a health bar which can have upwards of 24g (divide by 4) is 6 grams of sugar. As Americans we take in about 40-50 Grams of sugar a day.
For Lunch, Beans, Spinach, a slice of pizza, and apple, all these things make a great lunch, with lowered sugar.

3) A snack-plain yogurt,half a bananan, nuts, an apple. I say half a banana beacuse that is 7 grams. Almost two teaspons. Start thinking in teaspoon, not grams. USe greams to find out how much your actually taking in per day. Your goal should be 9 grams a day. Two teaspoons.

4) Dinner-A salad, (with Kale,nuts, beans,low sugar salad dressing) beans are very good for filler and to help you be full.

Stay away from High end lattees, Loaded with sugar,Chips,dips, juicing your veggies, culminates into a sugary concoction. Eat the vegtables strait if you can. Try this for one week and see
what happens.

My Newest Workout-The Maxx Workout#1

2015-02-06T14:52:00.002-08:00

I'm always trying new workouts. Developing them, and trying them out, and seeing if something helps in the challenge to lose weight and keep it off. After 40, the body begins to slow down. If the diet stays the same as in the 20's and 30's problems can begin to fester, coagulate, and begin to stay a while. Back in 2011 I began trying cardio, and bodyweight exercises to help me lose weight,and keep it off. Here is my newest workout, to help in the continuing challenge to lose weight and keep it off. I call it the Maxx workout.

Exercise 1-do pushups until you can't do anymore. That's right do pushups until you can't do anymore, and then stop. Write this number down and go on to the next exercise.

Exercise 2-do 10 leg lifts, and work your way as far as you can from 10. For instance do 10 leg lifts,9 leg lifts, 8 leg lifts,and so forth until you hit 1. Your back will probably give out on the way, just right this number down. If you do 10 all the way down to 7 just write it down.

Exercise 3-do as many front squats as you can. No more no less. Write this number down.
Get the picture, you are maxing each set out, instead of doing a specified number. That way your muscles are forced to push as hard as they can.

Exercise 4-get a set of rubber bands and start at 10 reps of flies to exercise your shoulders. Start at 10 and work as far down to 1 as possible.
set 1-10 reps
Set 2-9 reps
Set 3-8 reps
Set 4-7 reps and one and on. Write that number down like this. 10,9,8,7, this signifies how many sets you got done, for a totoal of 32 reps total, over 4 sets. Just go until you can't go anymore. At this point you should feel like you might be sweating, because you are!!! Keep it up.

Exercise 5-do pushups until you can't do anymore. Write that number down.

Exercise 6-Leg Lifts Start at the set you left off at, might be 7 and work your way down by number. 7,6,5,4,3,2,1 and writhe that number down, like this. 7,6,5, and on the 4th set if you could on do 2, write it like this. 7,6,5,2, and start on 4 during your next version of this exercise.

Exercise 7-Do as many front squats as you can, now maxx it out!Write it down.

Exercise 8-Do as many reps with your bands as you can. Start at say 6 and work down to set 1. If you exhaust one way, do overhead presses. Until you can go anymore.

Exercise 9-Pushups until you can't go anymore. Write them down.

Exercise 10-Leg lifts

Exercise 11-Front Squats

Exercise 12-Bands

You will be exhausted after all this. And write that down.
How this works, is your muscles will exhaust themselves from working at their peek instead of doing exericses in order, your muscles will never know what's coming next. Its a good way to insight what's called Muscle confusion.

I've cut an additional two pounds of body weight this week. Here is a simple breakfast you can eat every morning to jump start you fat burning oven.

1)4 hard boiled eggs (put eggs in water, bring to a boil, and at boiling set your timer to 10 Minutes. Peel and eat.

2)An apple-the fiber will carry food through your system quickly and won't add to your love handles.

Why Ninja 3 the domination is the greatest Ninja Movie of all time

2014-10-22T16:47:00.001-07:00

There out there!

Movies that just far surpass anything else! This was the movie. Released in the late 80's

Sho Kosugi

HE could do it all, had serious street cred, and loved his job so much, he brought his son into the business. Sho's movies had a serious element to them, and took a lot of the chop sockey showmanship out of the genre. In

Ninja 3

he used every available tool, to create an air of seriousness with the character. For instance, 1.swords vs guns (you had to include the most current weapons, against traditional weapons and show that tradition Ninja weapons could compete. 2. Helicopters-he added scenes with stunts going to and from helicopters. 3.Used traditional weapons in scenes to give it more traditional value. Every weapon was given a scene, the Ninja toe, blowgun, throwing stars, grappling hook, the kasa gatari. The only drawback was the demon possession scenes. It was hard for the main actress to pull that off. And show did more stunt coordination, and more work behind the scenes than on. He also double a few times for the grey Ninja at the beginning of the movie. Over all this is one of the best Ninja movies of all time, so go check it out. Ninja 3: the Domination.

What I learned about Sugar in The Shower

2014-08-01T11:17:00.003-07:00

Its getting easier

and easier. Everyday, I try to find more and more ways to reduce the amount of sugar in my diet. As Dr. Oz said, "There is no such thing as a little sugar". As everyone knows, or should know by now. Sugar causes, heart disease, weight gain, Diabitees, stroke, and many other things not yet diagnosed. And its in everything, from Pasta sauce, to creamers, and things you wouldn't even suspect. SO the other day, on one of my low sugar and caffeine days. My wife called and offered to get me a dessert from Steak and shake. Ofcoarse I could not refuse. So she brings home a salted caramel shake, with all of the trimmings. I quickly devoured this shake, warning myself, that if I ate it all it would equal a pound or two the next day. But I learned an even deeper lesson as I stepped into the shower............When I got in and the water was whirling all around me my hands becamse softer and softer, and my sense of touch more numb, and unresponsive. As I kept showering applying soap to different places I realized I was on sugar overload. That's right, my body had begun, based on the reduction to this white powdery masterpiece, started to change the way I (my body)responds to sugar. I wsa in a haze! And I though wow this is crazy. But I learned several things that faithful night. 1.Sugar desensitized 2.It spikes the blood stream 3. It distorts taste 4.The body becomes a slave to it 5.The mind makes sugar its clock 6.And to stay away from it late at night When useing sugar on a regular bases, it causes the body to crash. When useing it every once in a while it throws the body into overload. And tries to cover all sensations, and thinking by overload. Sugar has always wanted to be the master of the domain, instead of a court jester playing to an empty theater.

How to replace Bad food with good food! Todays blogs primary focus, is to replace what you are currently eating right now, with something better. And begin a long education for your body, on what makes it feel good, instead of bad. A doctor once told me that if I could quit the sugar, that my body would begin to forget how much it loved it. And now after reducing the sugar that I intake drasticly within the last week. I think he was right. Here are some ideas for replacing bad food with good food. Your strategy should be to feed yourself first. The good food that is, and let the bad food begin to play runner up. Set your snack times everyday to focus on a good food. Everyday at 10:30 I have an avocado. Every day. I take a knife and cut it in half, spoon out the core, and use the knife to cut along the edges and scoop the avocado out with the spoon. At 2:30 I boil a couple of eggs and combine those with a can of Tuna. I've been eating this stuff for a while, and so far I'm not bored. Believe it or not. And my body is responding very well. My shoulder which has been a mess for years, has begun to heal. Thats a pretty good start to something this new in my life. My immune system has improved, lost weight, have more energy and on and on. I'll keep you posted on what happens. Continue to read my other blogs on the 8 hour diet, and the slow carb movement. 10:30 am focus on a healthy snack, for me its the low carb avocado 2:30 pm focus on a good can of tuna (high protein) and two eggs, eat good low carb meals throughout the day, and throw out the junk food.

The Slow Carb movement and how it can help you lose those pounds!

2014-02-26T05:11:00.001-08:00

Strategies for enhancing the slow carb diet! The easiest thing for me to do, is do the slow carb diet during the day. I get up, and have a cup of coffee, then a five egg omelet. At 10:30 I have a snack. And by noon I'm having lunch. My challenge is what my wife cooks for dinner. She doesn't quite get all of this carb non sense. But cooks very nutritous vegetarian meals. And tasty at that. So I have a plan. If she makes a meal with excess carbs, I.e (bread,sugar,carbohydrates) I put a specific workout program together to brun off (to the best of my ability) the excess carbs. The carbs will give you naturally, the energy to have the workout. As if your running on pure protein for muscle, you work out at about 75 percent of your maximum, regular day workout. Its a good plan. Here's the strategy: 1.Breakfast eat your regular meal 2. Mid morning snack (Regular meal) 3. Lunch (reg) 4. Afternoon snack 5. dinner (whatever is cooked eat) 6.Evening workout (plenty of cardio, as this will help to burn off the excess carbs) This gives you a what if, counter if you can't quite get your spouse to go along with your diets. Enjoy!

The one thing you can do to change your whole Diet process, and begin losing weight long term. This is a pretty simple idea, yet a great one. "Change the way you relate to food, and also change the way you relate to Carbohydrates." You could install proteins there, or fat, but they don't quite encompass sugar, the way that carbs do. Simply begin substituting your bodies absorbption of sugar, and it could be a game changer. IN the morning kick start your day with eggs, beans, tomatoes or oatmeal. Every day. 33% of your weekly meals will change if you eat three meals a day. Spiking your sugars early in the day, stifle your bodies fat burners. You want to burn fat all day long? Begin cutting the sugar. For lunch enjoy beans,spinach,lentils,tuna. Anything that has less carbs. When I tried acompanying diets, I found fat the hardest thing to cut. And the sugar causes diabitees,heart disease, high blodd pressure, gallbladder issues, bowel issues, and on and on! Change the way you relate to food (sugar or Carbohydrates) specifically and you will begin to notice a diffence. Check out my other blogs on these topics. The 8 hour diet,slow carb movement, and this one ofcoarse. And my youtube channel, Melodylaneinn. Thanks for reading this post.

The slow carb movement-how controlling how you eat can help you lose massive weight!

2014-02-21T18:17:00.001-08:00

The slow Carb Movement-I call it the slow carb movement, as I believe this is a way of eating, not a diet. Its a strategy, just like the 8-hour diet. Yes, you are leaving things out of your diet. Sugar, Calories,bread, all kinds of things. But its something you could incorporate in your way of eating, that can help your body, and help you feel better. When the body ingests sugars, it does so many things, that it reminds me of the phrase DR Oz coined. "There is no such thing as a little sugar" and he was right. Sugar is bad for you period. On this diet, start your day with tomatoe Omelet. Choose the best oil for you. I use vegtable oil, as I am a vegetarian. But Olive is good as well. And use about 4 or 5 egss. For a snack at 10:30 am I eat an avocado. For Lunch I have beans, spinach, and maybe a tomatore. For a snack before dinner I have a can of tuna. While I do this during the week I have very minimal amounts of sugar. What has happened so far: 1. I've lost four pounds so far! 2.
I drink more water
3. I have better focus and more energy. 4. what hair I have is thicker. 5. My immune system is healing my body faster, I sleep better. 6. And finally I just feel better over all. If you want these things and want to lose wieght, try this diet. Here's whats included. Any kind of beans, eggs,spinach, tomatoes, vegtables, black coffee, tuna,meat. Give it a shot and reap the rewards. I'll be adding a link to my blog about this way of eating very soon. Have a great day!

Battle of the Diets!-Slow Carb vs the 8 hour diet-who will win?

2014-02-19T16:45:00.001-08:00

The eight hour diet is all the rage. But isn't it more of a technique than an eating strategy. Lets face it, on the eight hour diet you 1) eat only eight hours a day 2) Try to pack as much nourishment as possible in between those eight hours 3) seems to lay claim to lower heart attack rates, and diabitees 4) and lowers the bad cholesteral The strategy is to only consume food between 10am-6pm. To eat what you like and give your body the time to burn off the excess reserves during the night time, upping your internal furnase, so that calories are burned by 10am and throughout the day. The Slow carb movement I've been doing this one lately and have been very impressed. 1) lowers the sugar counts in your blood stream, as protein is mostly whats consumed 2) Beans, meat, spinach,lentils,peas, and very low amounts of fruit 3)no bread, sugary drinks,starchy things, candy. 4)you can eat all you want. Results: My first day on this I literally lost two pounds. Which was impressive considering my weight was going up. My energy and immune system has improved, and this diet gets my vot for best choice. Combing these two diets, and the sky could be the limit, and your body a fat burning furnace.

Hooponopono is it worth a second look?

2012-07-22T11:27:00.000-07:00

I've read a lot of books, from NLP to self help spirituality, some have been very helpful. Some were a waste of twenty dollars. This weeks feature book highlight, is actually a book by Joe Vitale. He wrote this book quite a few years ago, but it defiantly sticks out, as one of his best books. When I stumbled upon this book, I was looking for something to help release the thoughts, that we all have. This is a great book. Well organized to mirror the structure of the content. This book penetrates by telling stories of how to use its resources. Hooponopono is an art that has been around for many of years. How can we release the toxins of the mind. Through hooponopono. The first week I tried these techniques, I noticed my mind flowed a lot more freely. Dragons of the past didn't haunt me, and I felt more inspired. With any new system its important that it works with your own personal foundations. And this integrates very well. So when you get a chance, check it out. The book I'm recommending is zero limits The Secret to Hawaiian System for Wealth, Health, Peace and more, by Joe Vitale. Here's a link below for this book, and more related books.
