The Fat Flush

This recipe has gone viral and is being done by people the world over. The Fat Flush is to help you detox your body and to help it work more efficiently so that you can begin a weight loss regimen that works.
The Fat Flush is perfect for everyone. There are only 4 ingredients in the fat flush and most can be found around the world.

Follow these instructions and see how you can change your body with the Fat Flush by Kim Lyons. As seen on the doctor OZ show.

FAT FLUSH WATER !!!

You should drink at least three 8 oz glasses per day, they say the longer it sits, the better it tastes. You can eat them as well but they are intended as flavoring and still work, so that is a personal choice. The Vitamin C turns fat into fuel, the tangerine increases your sensitivity to insulin, and the cucumber makes you feel full. Try it for 10 days and see what you think!

Water
1 whole sliced grapefruit (lemon can be substituted for those with medical issues)
1 tangerine (Orange can be substituted if Tangerines are not in season)

The Cabbage Soup Diet!

This is the diet that everybody is looking for. 
The cabbage soup diet.  Yes it does work. But the weight you lose dose not stay off for long. So only use this for getting into a dress on the weekend or for an event where you just want to be a couple pounds thinner. Always talk to your doctor before you start an eating plan and do NOT do this plan if you are on a detox plan.

The Cabbage Soup Diet!

Ingredients/ shopping list
1 small head cabbage
3 ribs of celery
2 green peppers
1 can chicken broth
1 medium onion
1 large can diced tomatoes
water

salt and pepper to taste
Cut  veggies into bite size pieces. Use large soup pot with just enough water to cover and cook until the cabbage is done, about 30 minutes. 
The Diet! 
Try to ensure that you drink 2 litres of water a day.!
Day 1- Eat fruit only today (except for bananas) and as much of the diet cabbage soup as you’d like. For example eat baked cinnamon apples in the morning, a large fruit salad and cabbage soup for lunch, and cabbage soup and a melon salad for dinner. Snack on fruit throughout the day, Try frozen berries, grapes and watermelon.

Day 2- Eat veggies only today (except corn or other starchy vegetables). You do get ONE baked potato for breakfast. No butter sour cream etc.   For lunch ,the cabbage soup and salad sprinkle with salt, pepper and olive oil. For dinner try mashed cauliflower with a stir fry of veggies.

Day 3- Today you eat fruits AND veggies (except bananas, corn and other starchy veggies) You also don’t get a potato today,  just do a repeat of day one and two for foods.

Day 4- Today you eat only bananas and milk/yogurt. I hate it. You can only have bananas and milk. eat bananas, rice milk, almond milk and yogurts and of course the miracle soup. It’s not that difficult, but if you hate bananas I feel sorry for you.
 Day 5- Today eat only tomatoes (6-8) and protein like fish, turkey and chicken. Have wonder soup for breakfast and add extra tomatoes.  For lunch , grilled chicken topped with tomatoes seasoned with salt, basil, pepper. For dinner, more wonder soup, but add ground seasoned turkey to it. Very filling. 
6- Today it’s protein and veggies- Unlike yesterday you can have other veggies besides tomatoes. have a salad for breakfast seasoned with olive oil, spices, salt and pepper. For lunch , a stir-fry with chicken, spices and veggies , dinner, fruits, vegetables, and juices. !! 
This is the basics of the cabbage soup diet!! Remember talk to your doctor before trying this diet and do not to this diet while you are on detoxing so as not to cause dehydration.

Simple Weightloss Supplements

Have you tried everything to lose weight? Are you tired of trying the newest thing? Are you looking for something that can help you heal?
Are you just plain tired of feeling bloated and weighed down. I have found a very simple weight loss supplement that can help to get your body in the right shape to start losing weight.

Did you know that your body holds on to weight because it feels it needs it to protect your organs and it does it on purpose? With what we feed ourselves today, processed and fast food, our bodies are not getting enough nutrients. When our bodies feel like we don't get enough nutrients they hold on to fat to protect themselves. So how do you tell your body that it is getting enough nutrients to release the fat?

Well we can try to eat all healthy all organic foods and hope that our body picks up on what we've done. We hate the restricted lifestyle and turn away from it pretty quickly because we are not used to that type of diet. Some of the stronger of us can hold on for a few months but statistically we know that it doesn't last forever. We all go back to the foods that we know and the foods we have grown up with. But the bad news is that even if we could feed our body those wonderful nutrients forever we still may not lose the fat. Why? Because our bodies do not digest properly (from years of training with processed foods). So what are we supposed to do. We follow diets to the letter and only lose a few pounds, then when we go off those diets we go back to the processed foods and often gain back more than what we lost. Is this really how we want to live?

I consider weight issues to be like a disease. Disease is literally dis-ease and that is how we feel when we are overweight. We feel like we are not right, like we can't do everything we want to do. We often feel sick, tired, depressed. This is all from how our systems digest and absorb vitamins and minerals. Have you ever taken vitamins religiously then gotten tested and told you are low in that vitamin and wonder how can that be? It is because even when we pump our bodies full of vitamins our digestive system is not absorbing the vitamins into our systems and sending the nutrients to the proper cells to give our bodies the signal that it is ok to release the fat.

We eat low calorie diets and don't lose weight. Which goes against what all of the resarch tells us. Why they say because we are not ingesting enough calories. But in all honestly I personally don't believe that that is the case. I don't think that  it's not enough calories that put's our bodies into starvation mode (hold the fat mode). I think it is the nutrients that our bodies need and are not getting that makes us hold on to the fat.

So what if we tried a new way of thinking what if we treated our digestive systems properly and gave them what they needed? What if we did that? Crazy thought I know but how do you think our bodies would react. Well I have been on an all natural weight loss supplement that has helped my body to lose 25 inches all around in just 60 days. 25 inches and 14 pounds and I am ecstatic. Usually to lose 25 inches in the past I would have had to lose 30 pounds. But this supplement does not make your body lose muscle which is what most other weightloss products do. So on them yes you lose the pounds but you still feel flabby and you are not dropping clothing sizes. They say it takes 10 pounds of weightloss to go down one clothing size. Which is true if you are losing weight by starving yourself and denying yourself every step of the way. But with this all natural supplement I have only lost 14 pounds but dropped 3 full clothing sizes.

I have a picture of me from 4 years ago when I weighed this same weight and you wouldn't believe the differences. At this exact weight 4 years ago I look about 10 pounds heavier than I am now. With this supplement I am firmer at this weight. I have dropped inches off my face, stomach, hips and waist. My husband just pointed that out to me today as we were flipping through some pictures of when we met. I am shocked at the changes in my body.

This new all natural supplement has helped me to lose weight and feel better about the way I look. There are also many health benefits I have received as well. My cholesterol has gone down, my blood pressure has gone down and some of my physical ailments have left my body. This is just my story but there are hundreds more. If you want to learn more about this all natural supplement go to www.skinnyfibertoday.com or www.skinnyfibercalgary.com and see what benefits you may get from it.

This all natural supplement helps to get your digestive system working properly. It helps your body to digest the nutrients you are taking in which in turn tells your body that it is finally ok to release the fat. We all want to feel better about our bodies and lose the fat that can be so dangerous to our health. This all natural supplement can help you to do that. I was also looking at the hundreds of testimonials and I noticed that in everyone of the before and after pictures there was a significant change in belly and butt regions. Where is it most dangerous to hold fat? In your belly. Why because it increases your chances of heart attack and stroke.

This has been my own personal testimonial of how this product has helped me. It has been the most simple weight loss supplement I have ever taken. You take 2 pills before your 2 largest meals of the day and it makes you feel full faster so you are not overeating at meal times and it is telling your body to release fat. If you want to watch a quick 4 minute movie about this product click here to learn more. It can change your life as it has changed my life and thousands of others.

Watch the movie, order the product, take it consistently for 90 days and change your life forever. It's that simple. I have not dieted on this product. After time I started making some healthier choices but that was just because my cravings went away. I was a chocoholic and now haven't had any in over a month. Which is a huge success on it's own. My husband has diabetes and his numbers have dropped drastically into the normal range to the point where we need to see the doctor to see if he can come off his meds. This simple all natural supplement is the best thing I have ever tried to get my health and weight on track and I am so glad that I took the chance and ordered it.

Motivational Tips for Losing Weight

Ok so seriously we all want to start the next great diet. The ONE. The one that will work for us. This time we are going to succeed in our weight loss goals. Then life steps in about day 3 when we are looking for excuses and bam. We have fallen off the weight loss wagon. Now we are disappointed in ourselves and thinking we will start again on Monday. But something happens and we forget about the diet or don’t plan it into our schedules and then we are disappointed in ourselves. Does any of this sound familiar?
I have discovered a way to overcome this hurdle. No It’s not a magic pill that will make you get up every day to work out and eat right but it may help on your path to weightloss.
Step One: Really think about why you want to lose weight? Is it to fit into your skinny jeans? To get healthy? Be able to run around with your kids? To be able to get pregnant? To just feel better about yourself?
Everyone has different reasons for losing weight but yours are the only ones that count. Grab a pen and paper and think of 5 good reasons to go on a diet?
Do you have them yet? Don’t move on to the next step until you do.

Step Two: This is the geeky step and you definitely feel weird doing it and might have some resistance but do it anyway! Take that picture of yourself. You know the one you hate where all of your bulges are showing and you feel you look the worst. If someone tagged you in it on FB you untagged yourself. Well get it back. Crop your head off your body and find a body that you admire to put it on to. You can do this the old school way with actual paper and pictures or you can do it in Paint. You don’t need to be a pro at Photoshop for this experience. OK now print this off and put it with your 5 reasons for losing weight.

Step Three: Write down your ultimate weightloss goal. Whether it is 5 pounds or 100 pounds. Write it down at the bottom of your reasons to lose weight. Now look at this goal and think about your life. Is this an achievable goal? Often our ultimate goals overwhelm us and intimidate us. All ultimate goals should take the appropriate time to reach. So let’s say however many pounds you want to lose divided by 1.5 equals the total amount of weeks it should take you. The next step in this process is to break your ultimate goal up into achievable small mini goals. So if you want to lose 100 pounds then it will take you approx 67 weeks. Again it seems daunting. Who wants to diet for that long? Well you do if that is your goal. The next step in this process is to break your ultimate goal up into achievable small mini goals.
We already mentioned the 1.5 pounds a week. So let’s break our ultimate goal down into smaller increments. 10 pounds is the perfect achievable goal. This will take you approximately 6-7 weeks to attain. So let’s break it down even further. Make your mini goal 1.5 pounds a week. This is achievable and something that you can celebrate weekly. Every week when you reach this goal you give yourself a pat on the back, a gold star or a lunch out (don’t splurge too much). This celebration of a mini goal met will give you a sense of self satisfaction and will keep you on your diet wagon.

Step Four: Write out a plan. I know you think this will take a long time but it should only take as long as it took you to do the other 2 steps. I don’t want this plan to be incredibly detailed. In fact we should call it a diet outline. Outline the things you would like to do to achieve your goal. For example:
Wake up 5 am exercise for 45 mins
Eat a healthy breakfast
Make lunch to take to work
Walk 15 mins at lunchtime with a friend
Etc.

Please do not say wake up at 5 AM if you know that you have a hard time doing this. Because if you miss step one of your plan (because you were too tired and pressed snooze too many times)then you will cancel the rest of your day and plan again for the next day and too many times of that brings us to Friday and no one wants to start a diet on a Friday.
You need to plan for success. So if you know that you won’t wake up at 5am then plan to walk at lunch and exercise for 45 mins after work. You may be really tired after work and the last thing you think you’ll want to do when you get home is exercise but trust me if you have filled the rest of your day with the diet wagon you will exercise simply to not fall off the wagon. You have to play tricks with your mind and try to think in advance of the things that will stop you on the way to your weight loss goal.
Too many times we try to avoid the diet then we get really gung ho about the diet but forget the planning or outline stage. If you don’t have a good idea of how you are going to do something how can you hope for success? I have said before and I’ll say it again. Dieting is all in the mindset. You need to plan it out in advance and get organized. The dieter that is organized and has all of the meals planned for the week is the one that will succeed the most. As they will not be as tempted to stop off on the way home and get a quick meal if they know they have everything they need at home. The above steps will help to motivate you on a regular basis to keep reaching for that ultimate goal.
So in review: Write down your reasons for weightloss and look at them every day. Even bring them with you wherever you go. Put a skinny picture of you with those reasons. If you can see it you can believe it. Make mini goals for yourself and celebrate, this will help you feel a sense of accomplishment. And finally, plan for your success put your mind into the diet wagon. These steps are a great way to stop the self sabotage that dieters are great at and that makes them feel miserable in the end. Happy weightloss!

A Weightloss CD to Help You on Your Diet Path. Check it out.

My Strategies for weightloss are simple. Adding little things into your life to help you along your path to weightloss is from what I can tell the trick to lasting weighloss. This CD is something that you can incorporate into your everyday life. It won’t take a huge effort on your part and you should incorporate it into your daily routine. Whether after dinner, just before you go to sleep, or first thing in the morning. My mantra when I am losing weight is losing weight and feeling great. I say this to myself multiple times daily.That’s why I didn’t blink when I saw this CD. It incorporates my mantra. What a wonderful coincidence.
People often underestimate what listening to CD’s can do for your subconscious. They are a daily reinforcement for your mind. I’m not going to get into the entire subconscious programming but I will give a mini lesson. When you are trying to focus on something in your life,you need to visualize yourself doing or being what it is you want. Often the way to do this is to reinforce your goals by listening to CD’s that promote the behaviour focused on your goal. Often you will receive tips and tricks that help your mind focus on the end goal. This helps greatly when you are tempted by delicious chocolate or muffins brought in by a co-worker.
This CD talks about losing weight and feeling great. It incorporates subliminal messaging, soothing music and ocean waves. Getting fit, healthy eating, pounds vs. Inches, weight management and losing fat are all part of this CD.All things one needs to know when trying to lose weight.  
Weightloss is hard for all of us on our own. The best that we can do is add little things into our lifestyles to help us on our path. We all know what we should eat on a diet or when trying to lose weight. I believe that it is in our minds where we fail. We set ourselves up for failure. Try using this CD to help keep your mind on the goal. Every little bit helps on this journey. Remember if you take a step back you can always take two forward. Forgive yourself and move on.

Increase Your Chances for Permanent Weight Loss

If you’re like me you have tried all of the commercial weight loss programs and failed. You gained the weight back the moment you finished the program or you just quit the program. Would you like to know why? It’s not you it’s the diets. Below I will give you some great tips for lasting weightloss.
Weightloss is not about what you eat (mainly). It is more about planning for your food. This is the hardest part to learn but this is the part that makes it real. Skinny people plan their meals. They walk to the store to get treats. They take the stairs and don’t mind the exertion. Watch skinny people and see how they describe food. Chances are good they bring their lunch to work instead of buying it on the way. They park in the farthest park in the parking lot and don’t mind the walk. They go for walks on their 15 minute breaks.
We all see skinny people on TV and think “wouldn’t it be great if I could have that body”. Well I’m not going to tell you you can because we all know that they are 4% of the population. But what you can have is the best body you’ve got. But before you go on your next diet give the below tips a chance. Take these tips and make them habits before you dive in to a weight loss program. You may find that you don’t need a “program” at all.
Overweight people tend to eat out ALOT. Not all overweight people but most eat out almost double or triple the amount of skinny people. Why is that? Lack of planning. You didn’t have time for breakfast at home so stopped on the way to work for a quick egg mcmuffin, donut or muffin. You didn’t have time to figure out what you’d have for lunch so you’ll just step out at lunch hour and pick something up or worse you’ll hit the vending machine at work. These are all signs of poor planning.
Planning for your week is number one. Start with a grocery list. Don’t make it a diet grocery list but consider all meals of the day when you are making the list. Don’t forget snacks. If you are often short on time ensure that you are buying quick fixes for your meals. There are lots of low calorie options if you take the time to hit all of the aisles in the grocery store you may find things you really like. But ensure that you are able to grab them on the way out the door. As I said your shopping list is the first place to start.
Second ensure that you have what you need to eat said food. Bringing a meal you made to work last night but forgetting the necessary condiments will ensure that you wander towards the vending machine. You want to plan for this. I now keep Tupperware at work with a salad dressing and ketchup (my condiments of choice). Having these handy keeps you in the lunchroom at work rather than jumping in your car for a quick fix because you “forgot” them and can’t eat your prepared food without them.
Third. Try cooking for the week on Sunday. Throwing in 5 chicken breasts on Sunday at one time and then packaging them for the freezer will either give you all of your lunches for the week (if you don’t mind the repetition) or an easy dinner when you rush in the door starving. Knowing that the food is there will help you to not stop at the local drive thru on the way home.
Try steps 1,2 and 3 for a few weeks before signing up for the next diet program. If you can make those tips into habits before you diet you are much more likely to succeed and you might even see that after a couple of weeks a weight loss appears that you hadn’t counted on .
