Sugar Addiction

Stop Sugar Addiction, Beat Low Blood Sugar Blues and Lose Weight Now!

Feel Unmotivated Sometimes? Tired of waking up bloated, puffy, feeling like crap or feeling full of crap.. and not losing weight fast enough? Keep reading!

QUESTION from a reader.

Miss Victoria,I have a serious problem!  I swear I am a sugar addict.  Girl, I get up in the morning and the first thing I eat is designer chocolate. It tastes so good and it is the only thing that gives e energy to get going.

I can’t stop eating and I crave sweets all the time. Everyone keeps telling me how bad sugar is for me, but I can’t seem to stop. I have sweet treats in my car, at my job, in the break room, I run to the vending machine during breaks.

I think if I don’t go crazy from weekly mood swings, then I will end up broke from doctor bills. I have chronic headaches and then I go into a deep depression and if that’s not bad enough, I only like to eat expensive chocolate so I will go on sugar shopping sprees!  I have gained so much weight and none of my clothes fit anymore. What should I do?  How can I stop wanting to eat sugar all the time and get on a good eating plan that will help me lose weight as I get my sanity back?   Kara

 

ANSWER:  Kara,

Wow!  I can feel your frustration and I understand why you are upset. It’s almost impossible to eat anything tasty that doesn’t have sugar in it.  Practically everything that we buy to eat contains sugar!  Can you believe it?  Even if something says “fat-free”, it still contains a form of sugar called sucrose and glucose.  The reason why you crave sugar so much is because you are eating sugar!!!  I know, it sounds crazy, doesn’t it?

Sugar Addiction

Victoria Sugar Addiction - Low Glycemic Diet-Lose Weight

Victoria Former Sugar Addict!

The problem with eating sugar is that when you eat it, it makes your blood sugar levels go up.  In response, your pancreas, the organ that regulates how your body uses sugar, begins to produce what is called insulin to help control the excess sugar in the bloodstream.  The pancreas has another job as well.  It is to create a hormone called glucagon to help get rid of body fat.  If the pancreas is busy making insulin, it cannot make the “fat fighting” hormone, glucagon and then the body stops the weight loss process and you will not lose weight!!!

Detox First. Cleanse Your Digestive Tract So You Can Help Get Your Body Into a Healthy State.

DETOXIFICATION, cleansing your human system of harmful toxins, or also commonly known as ‘flushing your system’ is a fantastic way to being a sugar rehab program. This natural process  and function are responsible for cleaning, clearing  getting rid of waste and toxins from the body, are normally typically handled by organs like the liver, lower gastrointestinal tract,  kidneys, and colon.

Why Detox?

  1. Sugar creates a rancid sticky parasitic environment and detoxing can help remove it. Detoxing removes poisonous disease infesting toxins out of your body. It also helps eliminate constipation. The average person has up to ten pounds of fecal matter trapped in their colon. That is very dangerous due to the toxins and poisons seeping into your cells as it sits there. DETOX and GET IT OUT!
  2. Cleanses liver and that will help your body burn fat more efficiently.
  3. Detoxing can make your skin healthier, smoother and softer. It removes toxins that can cause premature aging, wrinkles, and acne.
  4. Works to help you have a healthier gut. A healthier gut allows you to absorb more healthy nutrients and can prevent a multitude of disorders. If you have been on any medication in the last six months, it’s a good idea to do a detox to help purify your system because some medications wreak havoc on your energy lever, liver, pancreas, colon, and skin.
  5. Improves your energy. When your body is healthier, digestion is normal, your metabolic rate is higher and you can absorb more vitamins and minerals from your food and supplements.

This is one of the most powerful, yet mild detox teas available today. We felt that in order to do a thorough cleanse, you need at least five organic herbs that are potent and three herbs for rejuvenation. Once your  system is cleansed and detoxed, you will have the elements to restore the organs. Victoria’s Best Detox Cleanse and Skinny Waist Tea is the best. To help make it even more effective we included our $99.00 Quick Start Low Carb Diet Program with every order! This is the same diet our Fitness Models Use. Get yours today and start detoxing immediately!

This is the reason you are not losing after all your dedication. In order to start losing weight, you are going to have to stop eating sugar altogether.  But here is the hard question: How do you stop eating sugar if everything has sugar in it?

The first thing you must do is “decide” you are going to change.  You will only see results if you are willing to do everything it takes to get thin, healthy, and free from the control of life-threatening body swelling sweets.

Your goals are to get strong mentally and physically,  lose weight, look good in your favorite jeans, fit in all your favorite clothes that are collecting dust in your closet and living a life that is worthy of your greatness!

Your goal should be so epic that you never let sugar control you again. Really, it’s time to stop letting outside elements control your internal decisions. You are here to do something magnificent and you need all the power you have to achieve it.  You cannot tap into that power if you are depressed, lonely, doubtful and feel victimized. Those are some of the symptoms of low blood sugar. Many times, you may feel hopeless and lost, when in actuality it’s your hormones that are out of balance due to heavy sugar or alcohol (sugar) consumption.

Get Connected & Get Going!

Your goals should be connected to passionate and positive outcomes that fire you up so much that you want to stop the sugar habit.  G goals represent your desire and your desire has to be greater than any type of food that contains sugar.

I understand how you feel because I was once addicted to sugar too.  I always had a bottle of pop in the fridge or a candy bar stashed somewhere hidden so I can get my sugar fix for that blast of quick energy.

Sugar Addiction- hypoglycemia - Glycemic Index

Break-Sugar-Addiction-and-Stop-Emotional-Eating

Sugar Kills

Sugar can give you a power rush of energy in a flash, which is another reason why our bodies just love sugar.  But it is lethal to our pancreas and our goals.  An upcoming singer I worked with had this same problem.  In addition to not being able to lose weight, the sugar caused serious, life-threatening side effects and she had to be hospitalized several times due to her sugar binges and self-imposed hyper-driven recording schedule.  She had jars of jelly beans, little dishes of miniature candy bars and a portable fridge in the studio filled with those supercharged sugary caffeine drinks.

I thought I was going to lose her if she didn’t change her ways.  One of the things I had to do was get her management team, who supplied her with everything she needed including food, to stop purchasing food items that contained sugar and simple carbohydrates that convert to sugar and then turns to fat in and on the body.

I know, the very people in our lives who we think are helping us sometimes are the cause of our hardship.  I had to educate her manager and her mother as well about how to change.  I would like to share with you what I did to help her lose weight, regain energy and help her mom reverse the deathly sugar addiction she had developed.

First- You’re going to have to sit down and have a heart to heart talk with yourself and whoever else is involved with your eating habits.  Share with them the information you have just learned about how serious you are about healing your body and taking control of your health. This is vital to the future of your metabolic system, body size and skin condition.

You all are going to have to become  “sugar cops” and blow the siren on every food item that you will want to consume. You will have to start by reading food labels, researching ingredients online,  and being accountable for everything you want to eat. This is easier now because most things prepackaged contains sugar, so you won’t be buying a lot of things in a box or bag any longer, You want to condition your appetite to seek healthier whole foods instead of packaged ones.

Team Work

Decide as a team, group or family that you will not bring sugar into your work, sports environment, studio or home, car or any environment where you spend a great deal of time.  This is a very difficult step because of habits, rituals and years of mental conditioning. You will have to make a firm decision and be willing to stick with it.

Don’t Have It, Can’t Eat It!

By not having sugar around, you won’t be tempted to eat it.  If you want to succeed you must SHUT DOWN everything that tempts you and can cause you to fail.

My Appetite Control Secret –I follow a Low Glycemic Index Diet that cuts out sugar, helps you lose weight fast and gives you tons of energy.

What is the Glycemic Index?

The Glycemic Index is a rating system for foods where any type of carbohydrate has a numerical value assigned to it based on its components and how each food affects the body’s sugar levels. The lower the glycemic index, the more weight you can lose. You want to think of always eating Good Glycemic Foods. You can get a free list, the source is listed later in this blog post.

Second– Instead of buying sugar, decide on a sugar substitute.  There are many to choose from.  I know everyone is different so you will have to decide which one is good for you.  Personally, I like Stevia. It is a noncaloric herb, native to Paraguay, has been used as a sweetener and flavor enhancer for centuries. The leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant have a refreshing taste, zero glycemic index, zero calories, and zero carbs. It is 25-30 times sweeter than sugar and far more healthy.

Fat Burners Supplement

Fat Burners Supplements For Healthy Weight Loss

Third- Find an appetite depressant that works for you and helps you control your cravings. Personally, I use The Best Fat Burners.  It increases your energy, makes your more motivated to get things done without stimulants or jitteriness. It helps to wipe out your ravenous appetite and speeds up the body’s metabolic rate so help you burn more calories throughout the day.   It is one of the safest and Best Fat Burners on the market today. I have been taking them for years and my blood results are stellar, my cholesterol is perfect, it helps me manage my own low blood sugar and it keeps me feeling happy!

The ingredients are healthy, organic and potent.   They are some of the only ones that work for me. I have battled a tendency to overeat my whole life. Now I just take care of it and take one capsule right when I get p and one in the afternoon around 1:00 or 2:00PM so it isn’t an issue. I am not strong enough to think I can just have great will power, NO WAY!  I know that if I allow myself to get really hungry

Because I have to keep my blood chemistry balanced due to my hectic schedule, plus I want to keep my blood sugar at a healthy level to prevent diabetes and heart disease, I take it every meal right before I eat. It is absolutely amazing. It really does take away my appetite.

I also have to continue to drink my four quarts of water a day.  Sometimes I don’t feel thirsty or hungry and I forget to continue the healthy habits to helped me lose weight. I have to be vigilant to stay with what works regardless of all the hype in advertising.

Science Sheds Pounds

I know a lot of personal trainers and medical people try to talk down the benefits of supplements. That is their right and I can respect their views. But I have to say that after ten years and millions of customers, clients, and nutritional research I have found that I, and millions of you, need and embrace state of the art products and methods that serve our needs.  Plus, I love the fact that science continues to bring us innovative products and make our journey to a fit and lean body simpler and more effective.

Blog How Do I Lose Weight App

Eat For Energy & Exercise

Fourth- Eat 3-4 small meals a day. The meals can include protein, a vegetable, and low glycemic carbohydrates. Make sure the carbohydrates such as whole grain bread, are in small amounts and baked without sugar of course because this type of food releases sugar slowly and will not make your sugar levels rush up and down.  Don’t eat too much whole grain breads because your will experience similar results as with eating sugar because your “fat-fighting” hormone will be blocked.

 Fifth – Exercise!!!!

cardio exercise for detox- fat burning- stop sugar craving

Workout for detoxing, weight loss and stop sugar cravings!

According to A. Alain Bertoni, M.D.,  MPH., assistant professor in Public Health Sciences and Internal Medicine at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, N.C., states that being active in exercising is a good way to help you lose weight, and fight sugar cravings because your muscles use the natural sugar from the healthy foods you eat and uses it as energy which helps you lose weight.

Feel Good-Do Good

There are several ways you can exercise that fit your time and budget.  If you don’t have time to get to a gym or take a class, home workouts are great.  My most popular home workouts are Cardio Dance Jam and my Power Shaping, total body fat burning workout.  Both are great easy to follow along, high energy DVD’S will not only help you lose weight, they will bring you joy and fun.

Most of all exercise will give you energy and help you feel empowered about getting fit in order to reach your goals. When you feel good, you do good!

Make Space

In order to do something new, you have to release something old.  In order to bring in new ideas and new success, you must release old ideas and old influences.

Kara, start today, purging your home, workspaces, and vehicles of all fattening snacks and sweets. Start tossing everything that contains sugar in a garbage bag that you are going to donate someplace or put in the garbage.  Get rid of every single piece. Do not keep one piece in your presence.  You cannot depend on willpower to help you, I know I couldn’t so you need to throw it all away now! You can toss it now or  wear it later.

Make A List! 

Make a new foods list of low sugar, healthy foods to buy and begin to be forward thinking. Getting what you need to do and be your best. Do as much as you to prepare for your future. Do what is necessary for you to succeed. No one is going to do it for you and now can make it perfect for you. You can do it for your amazing destiny.  Kara, take your life back starting today. You will be so glad you did; a week, month and year from now. Just imagine how great you will feel rehabbing your health. There is no perfect time to start eating right, detoxing and regenerating your health.

Don’t wait! start today. A year is going to pass anyway, why not be lighter, healthier, happier and hotter? WOOHOO!

If you have serious lumps, bumps, dimples and fat under your skin, you want to check out The Extreme Slimming Anti-Cellulite Cream. It is an actual transdermal spot fat burner. SO you have to be sure to put it only where you want to lose fat because it is potent! You also get a great DIY Body Wrap at home to help you lose inches fast and jump start your cleanse on fatty body parts.

All our products have a 100% guarantee. You have nothing to lose, but an old tired unhappy person. Start new and begin a journey of total bliss, happiness and fitness today.

I just could not wait to see how my much better the definition in my muscles would be under “posing lights” at the gym. Posing lights are special lights that are designed to make your muscles look more cut, defined and striated. Those are bodybuilding terms for looking “HOT and BUFF”!

Secret-Mystery-Foods-That--Burn-Fat-Fast-Off-Your-Waist-&-Butt3Perfection – NOT!  I gathered up my swimsuit, posing oil and a scrunchie to pull back my hair so that it would not cover up one beautiful striation of hard earned muscle.

I went to the gym I was training at that had a perfect set of posing lights installed by the head trainer, a NPC Body Building champion.

Ok, I get to the gym, run in the women’s locker room, put on my skimpy competition posing suit and oiled myself up. I slipped into a comfy robe to cover myself as I walked across the gym to the room we used for posing. 
I confidently took off my robe and gracefully walked across the room as if I was walking on stage. I believe that we should always be “on” and rehearsing in our mind and with our body what we want to be.

Victoria’s Personal Diet & Training Program

My Workout and Diet

Victoria Johnson Celebrity Fitness Professional Trainer

Victoria Johnson Fitness Celebrity Professional Trainer

This is an idea of how I eat and train. This is my schedule when I am not on a set, at a rehearsal, working with a client or doing interviews and skype training.

First off, thank you for the great feedback! I got an email asking for my personal daily diet and workout.

First of all, I get up when I wake up. I don’t use an alarm. I sleep between 6 to 8 hours a night. Everybody is different and I go with my body’s natural clock.

I had a green smoothie and skinny tea then headed out the door.
I went to my chiropractor, Dr. S and I was a structural mess! He said my C-2&3 were out. I had one arm longer than the other. My T-5&6 were out and my right ribcage was out of alignment and my sacrum was also out of alignment. I went because i had pain in my knee, my traps were stuck around my ears from tension and my Psoas was hurting. I have been going to a Chiro for most of my adult life. It structurally aligned. If your car is out of alignment, you don’t just buy new tires, you get the alignment fixed. That’s how I look at my spinal alignment.

By Wednesday, my knee will stop hurting, my arms will be the same length which will help me with my weight lifting. When I trained on Saturday, one arm was stronger than the other. The adjustment will even everything back out.

Okay here’s my food and training schedule:

I am very disciplined and I like to follow a regular schedule. I am the type of person who knows that I cannot function in chaos and disorder. I have to set myself up to succeed. I have to surround myself With positive people and an atmosphere that creates good vibes. I only buy food that serves my body and my purposes. I use to allow other people to lead me to overeat, stress out abandon my desire for a fit body.

I get up between 7:00 -8 AM.
I take my favorite liquid vitamin drink mixed with 4 oz. of Sobe Lean diet peach drink. I let the digestion happen for about thirty minutes while I wonder around the house speaking positive and powerful affirmations about how awesome my day is going to be. I speak my day before it happens. I believe that what you think about comes about, so I speak awesome prophecies about my day and the people I am going to meet and work with.

7:30-8:30 I make an Amino Charge protein shake with secret ingredients that boost my metabolism, increases my brainpower, balances my blood sugar, increases my energy plus it contains secret anti-cellulite ingredients. Here are the base ingredients..secret not listed.

Second Breakfast Tight Booty Shake:Body Balance Liquid vitamins, sugar-free flavoring, wheat grass, green vibrance powder, amino charge, tea powder, OsteoProcare for joints and calcium.

Vibrant Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder

Healthy Vibrant Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder

Green Tea Powder

It is a scientific breakthrough formula that I created. Sorry, it is not for sale! And YES it works.  I have amazing energy, good muscle tone, great skin and mentally clear thinking.

3rd Meal
I eat an egg white omelet with veggies and three vegetarian sausages. Six egg whites and 2 yolks with a tablespoon of coconut oil.

While I make my food I listen to a positive uplifting message, then I watch a muscle training DVD to get inspired to train, then I listen to educational material or something educational on the way to the gym. I love to learn and I love to learn and I love to eat, so I do both in a healthy and positive manner.

Train on my Gym Days
I do some form or movement every morning except Sunday. I take a dance class. I practice Hip Hop, Step Jamm, Lyrical Jazz, and Other forms of Aerobic Dance that keep me fit,  flexible, sharp and sexy. After that, I do some form of cardio for 45 minutes. I do step mill, trekker uphill, stationary bike or treadmill. This is on the three days when I train at night.

Wednesdays-Fridays-Saturdays
12:00- 3:00 Vertical Training Private class

Monday-Tuesday-Thursday
1:00 Lunch on Gym Workout days
I have stir fry vegetables and chicken and beef combination every day with ½ cup of rice. Bowl of fruit ½ hour later. I will also have a gigantic salad with fresh tuna on days when I want a break from the stir fry.

I drink six quarts of water every single day of the week.

4:00 Green drink smoothie just like I have for breakfast on my Gym days
4:00 Lunch on my 3-hour marathon class days

5:00 Gym for my evening workout 3 days per week.

7:00 Dinner
Large Salad
Grilled meat – 4 oz. Beef or Chicken 2 times per week. 6 oz. Fish with vegetables the other five days of the week. I do not eat shellfish or pork.
TODAY’S WORKOUT:
3 sets of 20 Ab Rope Curls @60lbs on the pulley machine
3 sets of 20 Standing Lateral Leg Lifts @20lbs per leg
4 sets of Flat Bench Dumbell Press with combined with crunches – feet up on bench to maximize curl effect (had to lay next to a guy who was wearing more jewelry than me….I hate it when that happens).
Also….Ladies, get your buns into the gym, there were exaclty 35 men training in the section of the Super Gym I was training in tonight. There were two other women besides me and they both had trainers. One lady had a trainer who was MORE OVERWEIGHT than her and the other had a guy that she was arguing about over technique. He was checking out the other guys while he was training her and not helping her with her form and she got pissed off…rightly so!

4 Sets of 8 Lat Pulldowns @75lbs. Dr. S said I need to strech my lats more and strech my spine out. I am so good about being obedient and following directions. I did it tonight because I don’t want to ever look like an old lady with hunch back.. aaaahhh!

Next I did Wide Grip Pullups – 3 sets of 5
Then I just stretched and people watched. I only had two shadows tonight. Those are people who treat me as their star sighting and they follow me around and giggle and do everything I do. i don’t blame them. It’s flattering, plus I use perfect form, i smile, i have jamming music on, today’s music was Fergie’s “Glamorous” updated bass electronic remix. That was the vibe I wanted to express today as I moved around the gym and around the planet. I love being a girl. It’s so much fun and we are made so perfect!

That was my workout and now I am going to try on three of the hottest tightest tops i could find and still breathe and finish my day strutting around to Fergilicious “Delicious”!

Peace and Blessings to you all!

Best Butt Exercise For Your Booty Shorts

29 Feb

Demolish Butt Dimples  – Here’s our question for the week! Lot of Great tips for you!

Thank you for keeping the books rockin at Amazon.com. ALL are now available in Paperback!

Miss Victoria,

I want to thank you for your conviction to getting fit, healthy and having fun doing it.

I am having an “Ask Victoria” revival in my life. I have been dieting off and on for most of my adult life. I got your Quick Start Energy Program and lost fifteen solid pounds of fat that I have kept off for two years.

Then I started listening to all these accept your body image or your body image does not matter people…who by the way are all overweight, and stopped working on my body. They spoke to the lazy side of my personality.

I have been encouraged by them to save money, reach high, give more, help more, realize my potential in every aspect of living…except when it comes to my body I am supposed to just accept mediocrity and dimples!

Victoria, I am improving in every area of my life except my body. I’m BACK. I am ready to take my body to the next level. I have a Brazilian shaped body and I like my shape.

I have cellulite on my thighs and butt. Can you give me some suggestions on demolishing the dimples? I would like a home exercise routine that I could do in 15 to 20 minutes. I have a treadmill and I already use five times a week for my cardio. Can you give me some exercises to demolish these ugly dimples on my butt? ~ Alejandra

Alejandra,

Great job permanently losing fifteen pounds! That is fantastic. Your health and your body will benefit greatly for years to come. Keep following the eating plan and modifying it as your taste changes.

It’s so funny how many nutrition people hate the fact that some fruit can actually make you gain fat if consumed at the wrong time of day or if it is combined with simple carbs.

I love writing about “Booty Secret”

Here I am in Celebrity Central “South Beach MIami” where Brazilian Butts are a fashion accessory!

South Beach

Science Confirms Low Glycemic Eating Blasts Fat

Science is a powerful sales tool and combine that with trial and error testing for decades and you have a winning formula for having abounding energy, vitality and a great shape.

I don’t know what’s up with all those people in the media telling you to accept being unhealthy and overweight. I have not seen one men’s magazine telling men to accept being overweight, unhealthy and accept living without an erection.

I am so happy you had a wake up call and that you have joined the ranks of be the best in every area of your life and self!

It makes no sense to me that women would tell other women to settle for anything less than living life to the max and having the body they want! It’s their opinion and they are entitled to it. WHATEVER!

I never write my material or design programs or diets for people who are happy being overweight. I am only addressing people like you and my millions of viewers around the world who love the idea of being in great shape while honoring and valuing their body.

Cellulite Busting Tips

1. Anti-Cellulite CD

When it comes to cellulite, make sure you listen to my Anti-Cellulite CD several times. (It is included as part of the Quick Start Program) There are so many simple but totally powerful tips in it. I swear every time you hear any learning material, you will hear something new!

Sitting on your behind for long periods of time makes the muscles spread wider and softer which leads to more cellulite forming. Be aware and conscious of your lifestyle every day. Once you are aware of something, you can change it and create a better and more effective habit.

3. Increase Circulation – Walk, move, dance and hop around. Do anything that increases circulation to the area you want to shape and tone.

4. Drink Up! – You already know that I am going to tell you to drink more water to help you flush out your system and keep your skin looking fabulous!

The exercises below are popular with female fitness competitors and they won’t change your curvy Brazilian figure.

There are fantastic exercises that many fitness competitors do to erase the awkward appearance of cellulite.

The more you follow a Good Healthy Glycemic method of eating and continue your cardio exercise, the faster you will get rid of that ugly “orange peel syndrome”.

Best Butt Exercise – Dimple Demolishing and Effective

To warm up and increase circulation after you have stretched,

Stairs/Steps: Place your one foot up on a step 6-8 inches high; gradually step up and down staying on one side. Then switch legs.

* 3 sets of 10-15 repetitions per leg for 3 sets.

If you don’t have a step, use your stairs or porch. You can do this several times per week.

Rear Leg Extension

Standing tall holding onto a chair, wall, bar or whatever you wish for balance and to stabilize your spine.

Extend your leg back while squeezing the buttocks.

2 sets of 10-30 repetitions for each leg or as many as you can do then repeat on other leg.  Starting with two sets is good. When you have the energy and strength, do more. Sets and reps are guidelines.  Your body is unique and may need more or less.

Check out the video demo!

Use Your Power!

Stay true to your desires and don’t ever let anyone else persuade you not to follow your core values. We have a tendency to want to please other people so much that we put our own life and ourselves last.

Your body and your health is your most precious tool. You can’t accomplish anything great if you are sick, unhealthy and spending all of your money on medical bills.  Get healthy and reclaim your energy so that you can live and enjoy every moment.

The world will never be the way we knew it yesterday. The news will always be negative. Turn it off and know that things are changing every day but so are you. train your body to be a strong and powerful machine so that you can live in the body you want without pain and suffering.

Use whatever motivational tool you can to get moving and get totally fit. If cellulite is the drive you need to get your a** moving and take control of your health and energy, so be it.

Do It Your Way

Don’t let anyone judge you or tell you that you shouldn’t put too much energy into how you look. People that say things like that are either unmotivated themselves or they just don’t get it. That’s their opinion. You don’t have to receive it or accept it.

I will never back down from the science and personal experience with eating a certain way that gives me a tight hard strong and energetic body. Neither should you.

There are millions of other programs and people to listen to. You have to be true to your body type and goals. Your support and the support of all reading this have been awesome and you are all very special to me. We need to stay together and pump each other up so that we can go forth in strength and power.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.- Albert Einstein

I am living life on my own terms and will not be persuaded to become lazy and slothful in any part of my life. I am disciplined and diligent in all aspects of my life. No one lives in my skin but me and I have to live authentically to my beliefs.  So do you.

You have to take that kind of attitude when it comes to your health and vibrancy too.

I know you can take your body to the next level now. Now that you got your fire back, don’t let anyone else ever put out your flame!

What is The New Skinny? As you stroll though history you can see that each era had female figures that  were the envy of women and the preferred “hottie shape” of that time period.

In the renaissance period, round curvaceous women were admired for their shape.  A voluptuous hourglass was the desired shape.  Women even wore waist corsets under their dresses to make their waist narrow, accentuated their hips and that made their thighs look more pronounced.

When you look at the art of that period, you see how being round with an hourglass Shape was prominent.

Glam Hams, Sexy & Curvaceous

Move through time and you see that two generations ago Marilyn Monroe, actress, model and entertainer, the most famous sex symbol of the last century.  She most definitely had an hourglass figure. Her public measurements according to her seamstress were 35-23-35.  She was 5’5 120-140 pounds.  That is remarkable when you consider today’s average runway model is rail thin and has no muscle mass on her legs, arms or butt.

Thanks to the love of sports, music, films and popular TV shows, and kazillions of photos, videos and celebrity web sites, we have an entire collection of a variety of women who have set the bar for what is the new skinny.  It’s totally awesome to see all statures, heights, ages and cultures showing us the way to dress up, step out and shine with confidence and style in our beautifully designed bodies.

How To Win At Weight Loss & Life

21 Dec

bigstock-Happiness-Happy-summer-woman--18675605

Question about winning!

Victoria, 

I have been battling my diet for a couple of years now. I have been on more diets than I can count. My friends keep trying to convince me to give up and just accept my weight. NO WAY! My doctor has been telling me to lose weight, but unfortunately she is overweight herself and has never really offered me any solution. I can’t live in this fat body any more.

I was reading a magazine and it said dieters regain weight because of genes, hormones, and no self-control.  Is that true? Am I really stuck with a double X the rest of my life or what?

I know that you work with models and famous people and I am neither one of those.  I am just a depressed fat woman who is looking for an answer from someone who once struggled and found the motivation to change her life.  I am tired of battling my weight.  Can you offer me some simple suggestions that will give me a swift kick in the a** ?  D…

Dear D and all my beautiful readers, I hear your frustration, but I can also hear your sense of humor as well.  You are a fun person who loves being around people, but you probably also love to eat and you probably LOVE food.  Most passionate people have drive and motivation, but sometimes it gets misdirected.

You have become frustrated because you have dreams and desires that have not come about yet.  You get frustrated, take that energy and put it into emotional eating and over-consumption and that creates a negative physical effect called FAT!  That fat develops dimples under the skin and lumps around your midsection.  It makes your hips spread and your chins sag.  The effects are physically and visually unappealing which makes you dislike your body and you interpret as hating yourself.

I Tried It All

I totally understand all the confusion and uncertainty surrounding losing weight, dieting and nutrition. I know I was sure confused when I was obese, type 2 diabetic, had hypertension and high blood pressure. I tried every diet on the planet trying to lose weight and get rid of unsightly belly fat.  I suffered from chronic water retention, migraine headaches and I was on the verge of early arthritis.  I lived in a constant state of stress and was diagnosed twice with clinical depression. I was a big hot mess! I was able to get on the right path once I got my thinking straight.

The battle that you are having is not with your diet. The battle you are having is with motivation and living your dream life! You have to get back in touch with the things that motivate you and make you feel alive and on fire! You need to reconnect with who you are and what is trying to come forth from inside.   You need to ask yourself what is your true desire and what destiny am I not moving toward that is in my heart.

You Are Special! 

It doesn’t matter to me whether or not you are a full time mom, model or great grandma, if you want to change, you should start today.  Yes I work with professional models and athletes, but I don’t rate anyone’s specialness based on their profession. I work with them based on their desire to transform their life into something more rewarding to them.  No one can life your life but you! You are special and you have to love and respect yourself.

D, I have worked with thousands of people just like you over the course of my career in athletics, dance/fitness and health.  And over the years I have been asked a myriad of different questions, yet there are certain ones that always arise and confuses everyone.

It’s obvious that you have had your own personal struggle with battling your weight.

You have been looking for some definitive answers about what really works and if you can finally have the body and the life you desire.

Regarding genes and weight loss and regaining the weight…

Dieters regain weight because they are not consistent with the right diet and exercise program. Research now shows that your habits, environment and lifestyle are a great indicator of your success or failure when it comes to building the body you love.

One of the ladies I worked with, during the course of her weight loss journey, began to feel afraid of the possibility of actually reaching her goal weight.  I asked her why she was afraid and basically, the fear arose because of the belief that she would regain the weight back and hate herself all over again like she did in her past programs.

I told her she would not regain the weight if she successfully incorporates the concepts of program that integrate a mind, body, and spirit application.  When your mind is transformed into a new paradigm about self worth, you can experience the freedom of permanent weight loss and all the benefits of creating an ideal lifestyle that reflects your new paradigm.  There is no way you will EVER GO BACK ONCE YOU GET TOTALLY FREE MENTALLY!

NEW IS NOT SCARY – IT’S EXCITING!

I think this was a true concern of hers, and one many of us have had at one time or another.  Some times what we are really afraid of the “new person” we will become especially when we keep seeing our relatives and thinking we are doomed forever to carrying excessive belly fat or saddle bags on our hips or cellulite on our body lurking out in every crease and crevice. And we secretly know that some relatives don’t want us to change or look better than them.

Change is does not have to be scary.  Your non-conscious mind will have you questioning yourself about change if you let it. You have to be aware of your thoughts at all times and stay in the good vibration zone. When your mind wants to scare you, lovingly tell it to stop, I don’t think that way anymore. Fear is just excitement that hasn’t happened yet. 

Genetics, hormones, and unsupportive relatives will not affect your long-term weight loss success if you stay focused and centered on your personal goals and transformation.

No More Battles 

DON’T LET FEAR CONTROL YOU and stop BATTLING the weight. Just get on a solid plan to regain your dream and then let go of over-eating and under-exercising and get on a good plan.  A battle only wages when there are two opposing sides… Your mind is one side and your heart is another.  Your want certain things in your heart of hearts and you over analyze it with your mind and they start to battle and the next thing you know, the frustration causes you to overeat.  Go and read Your Heart’s Cry on my Divine Prosperity Blog. GO there and print it out and read it, study it and begin to make new plans for living the life you have always dreamed of and then get my Quickstart Energy Program so you can melt that stored body fat away and get on the path of being a new fit and lean woman. You don’t have a to fight anymore!  You are a winner by taking positive action.

Here are some great tips to help you outwit your genetics and break through mental and physiological plateaus so that you can take your health and your body to the next level.

4 Quick tips to get you started to lose weight this week..

1.  Cleanse & Hydrate – Clean out your cupboards and get rid of the bad foods. Drink 8-12 8 oz glasses of water per day EVERY DAY NO MATTER WHAT!!!

2.  Stay Balanced -Eat several small meals and snacks a day (3 – 6) to keep your metabolism elevated and your blood sugar stabilized which helps you cut out snack attacks throughout the day. Don’t go more than 5 hours without eating something healthy. This will help keep your biochemistry balanced. Check out the Quick Start Glycemic list to be sure you eat the right fat burning foods.

 3. Eat Perfect Protein – Make sure that your protein intake is adequate. Your protein needs to be 20-30% of your total dietary intake.  Choose lean protein sources such as white fish, chicken without skin, egg whites, protein powders and protein shakes made out of whey and soy protein.

4 Cut the Crappy Carbs – Watch your intake of highly refined carbohydrates that are sold as fat free products such as fat-free cookies, rice cakes, other fat free snacks and definitely white bread. Try to replace them with heartier grains or legumes such as bran, natural sprouted whole grain breads, beans, lentils, and other unprocessed legumes. They are higher in fiber, protein, and other nutrients and they enter into your blood stream more slowly, providing you with a longer lasting more blood sugar balancing source of fuel.

D, This is only a start girlfriend!  You have the power and with my new “Motivation, Affirmation Quotes Book (wait till Wednesday to get it. I have an Amazon.com promotion going then you can get a complimentary copy!) you will be totally equipped to stay fired up.

I Hate My Scale! Help For Your Weight Loss Plateau

23 Nov

How To Break a Plateau

It’s six weeks after american new year’s resolution and I am starting to get emails asking “How to Break My Weight Plateau”.  I have some ideas for you.   But first of all I want to thank all of you that made my “How Do I Get Abs” book launch on Amazon.com a global hit!  It was amazing, I made it to number 1! I even got a great screen shot of it for my Goals Accomplished wall.  I am getting so much positive feedback. It’s awesome.  I could not have done it without you!

I Hate My Scale! How To Break a Weight Loss Plateau

Check out this excerpt from a Special Science Report

Cutting Carbs Is More Effective Than Low-Fat Diet for Insulin-Resistant Women,Study Finds; Science Daily (June 21, 2010) — Obese women with insulin resistance lose more weight after three months on a lower-carbohydrate diet than on a traditional low-fat diet with the same number of calories, according to a new study.

Time for some new ideas.  If you are experiencing a stall or plateau in weight loss efforts, you are not alone. This occurs from time to time to almost all of us trying to get thinner. However, you first must make sure that you have actually reached a plateau point.

A plateau means that you have gone an extended period of time without losing weight or inches. It’s important to take your measurements before you start your weight loss plan, in addition to your weight. On some weeks it may not seem like you are not losing any weight at all on the scale. But a quick look at your measurements could prove otherwise.

On a higher protein diet you are replacing fat with muscle, which is denser and heavier. You might actually gain a little weight because you are building muscle. The result will be an increase on the scale, but a decrease in your inches. Your body will be smaller and leaner, but you may weigh the same.

Before you start your program, measure your chest, waist, hips, upper arms, thighs and calves. You never know where you may be losing inches, so it’s important to have these measurements to refer to.

It is normal to go through periods where you body is readjusting. Remember that you are reforming the composition of your body and this process will take some time. Check your measurements once a week, just like your weight, and you can track your overall progress.

What Is A Plateau?

There may be periods of 3 to 4 weeks where you have a plateau in weight loss, but a loss in inches. Or vice versa. Using both methods to track your fat loss is the best assurance for an accurate measure of your progress. These stall periods are not a reason to quit or to give up. They are biochemical parts of the weight loss process.

Plateaus may occur more frequently if you are 5 to 10 pounds away from being at your goal weight. By following a low-carb, higher-protein way of eating you have created a lot more muscle in your body. Your muscle-to-fat ratio is higher than ever before, so your body might be resisting losing anymore fat. It may be time to rethink your goal weight. Perhaps your body is trying to tell you something and its time to start maintaining your weight loss rather than trying to lose more.

What Causes Your Scale to Get Stuck?

There are some other possible causes of  plateaus on the road to weight loss. If you’ve gone four weeks with no change in weight or measurements and you are nowhere near your goal weight, you can try a few different methods to get yourself out of the rut. First, make sure your carbohydrate level is in check. If you are eating too many carbohydrate grams per day, your weight loss will stall. Look for hidden carbohydrates in your coffees, alcohol, packaged foods, snacks, dressings and sauces to make sure they aren’t the culprits in your plateau.

 Check your daily water intake. When you are dehydrated, your body will retain water and that can mimic a plateau. Water will also help flush ketones from your system and make more room for new fat burning ketones.

It may be time to eat more.

Under eating can also be a cause for weight loss plateaus. Make sure not to let yourself go hungry and eat smaller, more frequent meals. Remember, you are on a carbohydrate-restricted diet, not a calorie-restricted diet. Make sure to have some protein with every meal and snack. Never go more than 4 hours without eating something (except overnight of course). Also, eat freely from the acceptable foods. Don’t try to count calories or restrict your calorie intake. When your body gets too few calories, it goes into starvation mode and will hold onto fat cells. AAAHH!!

exercise

Pump It up!

Increasing your exercise level or adding more slower systemic fat burning cardio can help get you through a plateau as well. As your muscles get used to working out at a certain level, you’ll have to increase the duration or the intensity in order to keep challenging your body. Add a new exercise into the mix, or try increasing more reps into a light weight resistance training circuit.  You don’t need to go to a gym to do cardio. You can so it anyplace.

Trying one of these suggestions will most likely get your weight loss back on track. Remember that occasional stalls are normal, but they do not have to last.

See you on the step mill!
