    Assessing Your Vitamin D Level for Weight Loss Success

    January 16, 2019

    HAPPY NEW YEAR! Everyone knows the most popular new year resolutions are… …lose weight …eat more healthy …exercise more. My 2019 resolutions?  ALL OF THE ABOVE! Today, I made my bi-annual trip to my internal medicine physician and my cholesterol numbers were slightly elevated; however, my HDL, or good cholesterol had also increased!  My doctor strongly advocates starting cholesterol medicine, or statins. I know several people who are currently taking statins and they are suffering from the horrible side effects.  Also, statins can destroy your liver, especially those under 60 years old.  Therefore, I will continue my attempts at lowering my LDL cholesterol numbers through nutrition and exercise.   Incorporating…

    Incorporating Probiotics in Your Weight Loss Plan: Step 4

    October 10, 2018

    Week four of my weight loss journey and I actually gained two pounds.  But, I am not distraught over it, because I understand it is a process.  I KNOW what I am doing is working – so I just need to stick to it. Belly fat is a problem I have and research has made me think that maybe – I am not getting enough probiotics? Prebiotics and Probiotics can be very confusing weight loss terms.  Working in conjunction, these bacteria can make for a very healthy gut and assist in your weight loss journey.

    Step 3: Perfect Portions for Weight Loss

    October 3, 2018

    Portion control is personally, my most frustrating issue with weight loss.  Usually, when I taste something really good, I eat as I will never have the opportunity to eat it again.  Of course, that is the wrong mentality.  Eating at home, I can always repeat a delicious meal or eat leftovers. However, what about when you are putting the food on the plate?  From step 1, we learned to keep the food in the kitchen, don’t bring it to the table; so you can avoid those disastrous second helpings. In step 3, I am learning how to “guesstimate” portions, so I can eat meals and snacks with the right amount…
