DELICIOUS SALAD

Romaine Lettuce + Some Spinach Leaves + Tomato
Sprinkle garlic powder, sea salt or regular table salt, and pepper onto lettuce.
Toss in 1 Tablespoon crumbled goat or other cheese + 5-7 olives.
 
Enjoy with your dinner.
 
The olives, cheese, and olive oil are excellent sources of HEALTHY FAT!
 
 
HEALTH FIRST, WEIGHT SECOND! 
 
 
 
 

WHY TAKE OMEGA FATTY ACIDS

Why take omega fatty acids?  The answer is simple: our bodies CAN NOT MAKE OMEGA 3 OR OMEGA 6 FATTY ACIDS.  They are vital for our body to function correctly. If we do not consume omega 3 or omega 6 fatty acids from food or supplements then our body will not have these nutrients.  WALNUTS ARE AN EXCELLENT SOURCE OF OMEGA 3 & OMEGA 6 FATTY ACIDS.
 
UDOS OIL IS ANOTHER EXCELLENTS SOURCE OF OMEGA 3, OMEGA 6, & OMEGA 9 FATTY ACIDS.  Honestly, it does not taste delicious.

POPCORN, POPCORN, POPCORN

Are you a popcorn lover? Good news: popcorn is a whole grain which means it is an excellent complex carbohydrate.
 
Eat 2-3 cups AIR POPPED POPCORN + a bit of butter + a SMALLISH handful of your favorite nuts. 
 
The fat in the butter and nuts will help slow the digestion of the popcorn's carbohydrate.  I discuss the importance of this in my book.
 
I love air popped popcorn with a cheese flavor.  Yes there are healthy types. 
 
Look forward to hearing from you!

BEGIN EATING HEALTHY

Today make it the beginning of a HEALTHY EATING LIFESTYLE. 
 
Start with your breakfast: This morning I ate 2 eggs, oatmeal with berries and walnuts. Do you prefer eggs and toast. Then eat 1-2 eggs and sprouted grain bread lightly coated with butter. When I say butter I mean REAL BUTTER not that fake stuff.
 
Either of these breakfast will provide your body with:
1. Complex Carbohydrate from the oatmeal or bread.
2.  Protein, fat, cholesterol from the egg. 

Whole Grain Crackers

I am going to start posting products on my site that I believe are healthy!
 
These crackers are whole grain and excellent with cheese for a snack. They have NO CHEMICALS ADDED!
 

HEALTHY BREAKFAST

BREAKFAST
Yesterday I wrote about deciding what your health, fitness and eating goals are. Let's begin this change by focusing on changing your breakfast from unhealthy to healthy.
 
BREAKFAST SUGGESTIONS:
 
A:  2 slices sprouted grain bread with 1-2 eggs. Fry the eggs in olive oil with vegetables or
     hard boil them. Put a little bit of BUTTER (not margarine) on your bread.
 
B:  scoop 1/2 cup dry OLD FASHIONED oatmeal and cook with 1-2 packets of stevia.

What Are Your EATING & EXERCISE GOALS

It's a NEW YEAR so what is your GOAL!
Take a moment and think about your eating, health, and/or exercise goals.
-what do you want to achieve?
 
Ask yourself "what will I need to do to reach this goal?"
-if you don't know then educate yourself by searching on the internet or asking someone who has knowledge about how to reach your goal. 
 
Set a realistic plan.
-set yourself up for success by working towards your goal in a way that is workable for you
 
Stay FOCUSED & DETERMINED to reach that goal.

HEALTHY FOOD vs JUNK "food"

A few days ago I was in a college class and during the break I noticed that a lot of the students were eating JUNK "food processed with chemicals.  It made me think about how many people are continually eating unhealthy things while not really thinking about how damaging they can be to their body.
 
One of my goals when I work with people is to have them understand the conceptthe purpose of eating is to give the body the nutrients it needs.HEALTHY FOOD is made up of nutrients our body can use to make us feel and look healthy.

Eating At Night

Tonight my niece told me that her friend said that it's bad to eat after 5:30 pm.   My niece has been around me enough to have a decent understanding of  how to eat.  My niece told her friend that she  would be too hungry if she didn't eat at after 5:30 pm. 
 
I, too, often hear people talk about not eating after a certain pm hour.  The body does need a consistant supply of nutrients to keep running. If the body is hungry at 9 pm it is asking for food.

Cholesterol & Carbohydrates

I have been getting a lot of traffic to my website from people searching "cholesterol and carbohydrates." I've blogged  and I have written about this topic in my book.  I will visit it again, though.
 
Carbohydrates are things like: bread, crackers, chips, yams, potatoes, beans, rice, cereal, fruit, juice, candy, sugar, honey  and so on....
 
When you eat a carbohydrate the body will break it down into sugar. This sugar goes into your bloodstream. 
 
The body will use the sugar for energy.
