Hey Weight Loss Nation...... I'm back! www.TheWeightLossNation.com I'm over this COVID thing! I've spent the last 14 months worrying, being scared, living an emotional roller-coaster, and ... EATING! I allowed FEAR and the UNKNOWN to control my life and my actions led me down a path of destruction. I gained almost ALL the weight I lost. I allowed FEAR to open the door to negative feelings, guilt and emotional eating. I battled childhood feelings over my father, who died this past March..... and COVID was the straw that broke the camel's back! I was despondent, afraid, lost and disgusted with myself. Then....... I spoke to a friend of mine named FRANK ATKINS.  Frank is a spiritual coach, who deciphers biblical principals, in a language anyone can understand. Frank recently published his book, "Faith Without Religion." I congratulated Frank, and I told him I would purchase the book and give him a review on Amazon. When the book came, I looked at the cover and quickly flipped through the over 400 pages of text. I gave  a quick "WOW" and put the book down on my coffee table. About a week later, I was bored. I was sitting on my recliner in my living room and I saw Frank's book sitting on the coffee table. I picked up the book and started reading.  I was amazed that I was able to understand the biblical principals Frank was referring to. I was reading, I was understanding and...... I really liked it! I was learning about the Holy Spirit. Someone, I had originally thought was "something," and I had no idea what the "function" of the Holy Spirit was. As a person who was raised "Catholic," I thought the Holy Spirit was a flame of fire that came to the Apostles of Jesus on Pentecost Sunday. I thought that flame of fire was "the Holy Spirit." I spent the last 58 years of my life believing the Holy Spirit was a "flame of fire," who came to you and helped you learn a different language.  Then.... reading Frank's book, I learned that wasn't the case. I learned that the Holy Spirit was part of the Holy Trinity. God  .... showing himself in the form of a spirit, that lives inside each one of us, ready to guide us upon the asking. I realized, God had to be part of decisions in my life. Not just the big decisions, but the little..... EVERYDAY decisions I make. I needed to ASK God to guide me, to fill me with words, strength, love and faith.... to get back on my journey to a "Healthy Lifestyle."   www.TheWeightLossNation.com And just like that, I felt the Holy Spirit inside of me, in my gut...say.... get back on the Weight Loss Nation Podcast. Tell people about the Holy Spirit..... complete the triangle. That was it! I have learned what to eat... how to move my body for exercise, but I have never filled the void for my mental health. I thought I did! I thought by meditating, listening to music, reading and all the other things I used to calm me and satisfy me would work. They did work......."TEMPORARILY."  I was missing "SPIRITUAL" CLARITY. I was in control of everything in my life. I made all the decisions. I got angry at myself if things didn't work. I praised myself if things went great. But...... nothing seemed to stick "PERMANANTLY." Now.... I've found the Holy Spirit. Now.... I ask the Holy Spirit to guide me. I have given up control and put my "Faith" in the Holy Spirit. I give "thanks" to God for all the good things in my life and for giving me strength during the tough times.  I know God is a loving God. He is a merciful God. He is a God of miracles. He is a healer. God wants to give me favor and he wants me to have all good things in my life on this Earth.  God wants that for each of you too. All you have to do is BELIEVE!  Do you believe in God? Do you believe Jesus Christ was sent to this Earth to die for us, so that each of our souls would be saved? If you have faith and believe ...... you WILL have everything you ever wanted and more from God! Give God a chance! You have been running your life all this time. Have you been 100% happy with your results? If you would give God a chance and have faith in the Holy Spirit, you will see change! Change for the better! Just ASK! Ask God to awaken the Holy Spirit inside of you. Thank God for having mercy on you for all the stupid things you have done in your life. Be remorseful! Now... have FAITH and ASK the Holy Spirit to GUIDE you on your journey to a "HEALTHY LIFESTYLE." EVERY morning, Thank God for another day to do good things. Another day to CONQUER Emotional Eating, so that you can eat to just FUEL your body.  Ask the Holy Spirit to GUIDE you in eating healthy, to move your body for exercise and to PRAY by reading God's words in the Bible.  I would suggest you read Frank Atkin's book - "Faith without Religion." You will understand the scriptures so much better.  Let's walk with the Holy Spirit and allow him to GUIDE us on our healthy journey. You ALWAYS have the Holy Spirit, Jesus and God to turn to in your life. If you don't have family you can talk to, a friend you can talk to, or a professional you feel comfortable speaking to ...... TALK to GOD! God will always listen! If you have Faith in God, he will always answer you in some way. God LOVES YOU! God will never turn away from you. If you believe in God and you are sincerely sorry, God will always forgive you. God is WITH you ALWAYS. 24 hrs a day, 365 days a year. I want you to START your Healthy lifestyle journey right now!

Are Your Hormones Making You Fat?

Hey Weight Loss Nation! www.TheWeightLossNation.com Host -  Diane Daniels   Aquafaba Chocolate Mousse Ingredients 6 ounces dark chocolate dairy-free (Taza Wicked 95% Dark Choc 2 Bars) You can use whatever brand of Dark Chocolate you want. Make sure the chocolate has 80% of Cacao in it.  I use Taza “Wicked Dark” Chocolate bar. Taza has one of the least processed Dark Chocolate in the friggin world. With the “Wicked Dark,” containing 95% Dark Chocolate, SWEET is NO longer in the equation. We’re talking HEALTHY HERE! Go to www.tazachocolate.com to purchase “Wicked Dark” Chocolate Bars. Dark chocolate gives you a variety of antioxidants including POLYPHENOLS!! Antioxidants help prevent damage in your body caused by oxidative stress and harmful free radicals. That means Dark Chocolate with 80% or more cacao….is part of our PAC MAN Family!!    1 15 oz can unsalted chickpeas BPA-free. BPA is that crap in the lining of cans that can get into your system. Causing toxicity and whatever. ¼ tsp cream of tartar 1 tsp vanilla extract Pinch of sea salt Fresh raspberries &amp; optional coconut flakes to serve ¼ Cup of Raw, Unfiltered Honey (straight from the Bee’s Ass people!)  (Buy LOCAL Raw, Unfiltered Honey. That’s the best for you. If you live near Savannah, GA you wouldn’t want to buy Raw, Unfiltered Honey from Oregon, because the honey from Oregon contains local pollen &amp; nutrients from that area. If you live in Oregon, check out Raw Oregon Honey at www.raworegonhoney.com If you live near Savannah, GA  you want raw, local honey that contains the local pollen &amp; nutrients from your neighborhood. check out HL Franklin Honey at www.FranklinFoodsLLC.com Honey is made up of 38.2% of fructose, 31% glucose and only 1.3 % sucrose. Maple Syrup is basically 99.9 % sucrose. White table sugar, and brown sugar are also 99.9 % sucrose.  Your body breaks down the “sugars” into Glucose. Since Sucrose is a “Di-Saccharied…the body has to break it down 2x in the body. Fructose is a mono-saccharide and is absorbed directly into the body, but it will need to be “converted” into Glucose by the Liver first. That’s why RAW…Unfiltered Honey is sooo good for you! The body isn’t working so hard to convert the molecules into Glucose!    Preparation    Chop dark chocolate and place in a double boiler, or in a glass bowl over boiling water on the stove. Gently melt chocolate, stirring every now and then until completely melted. Remove from heat and pour chocolate into a large bowl. Set aside to slightly cool. Drain chickpeas, reserving liquid aquafaba, and store chickpeas for another use. In a large bowl add in aquafaba (about ¾ cup should be reserved) along with cream of tartar. Using a hand mixer, mix on high speed for 7-10 minutes, or until soft peaks begin to form. Add in vanilla extract, salt, and raw honey and beat until mixed. Add ½ the melted chocolate to the whipped aquafaba and fold until incorporated. Fold in the remaining ½ aquafaba until smooth and combined. Gently spoon chocolate mousse into glasses, small mason jars, or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Add some raspberries to serve. Enjoy!   Recipe provided by Kate Gavlik (Organic Authority)   NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION   Serving Size  -   ONE - 3 Ounce Serving of Chocolate Mousse Calories –  236 Fat – 28 gms Carbs – 26  gms Fiber – 2 gms Protein – 1 gm Sugar – 18 gms Minerals :   Magnesium, Iron, Selenium, Copper potassium, phosphorus &amp; Zinc.

Maple Syrup is basically 99.9 % sucrose. White table sugar, and brown sugar are also 99.9 % sucrose.  Your body breaks down the “sugars” into Glucose. Since Sucrose is a “Di-Saccharied…the body has to break it down 2x in the body. Fructose is a mono-saccharide and is absorbed directly into the body, but it will need to be “converted” into Glucose by the Liver first. That’s why RAW…Unfiltered Honey is sooo good for you! The body isn’t working so hard to convert the molecules into Glucose!  Preparation <ol> <li>Chop dark chocolate and place in a double boiler, or in a glass bowl over boiling water on the stove.

How About Some Chocolate Mousse For Dessert Tonight

Hey Weight Loss Nation! www.TheWeightLossNation.com How many times has "Fear" prevented you from doing something?  Fear comes in many forms. Procrastination is one form. I know....   I've "procrastinated" doing something MANY times in my life! Depression is another form of Fear. Hiding from your emotions or feelings.....because they make you feel sad, overwhelmed, anxious is another form of Fear. How do you get rid of Fear?  One way..... is "Focusing" on your Goals. One of my favorite sayings is ........ "The only obstacles you will see..... is when you take your eyes off of your goals." Think of a time in your life when you achieved a goal. How did you complete it? One reason is that you "focused" on that goal and you didn't allow "distractions" to come between you and your goal. FOCUS is extremely important when you set out to achieve your goals. Any kind of distraction.... social media, phone calls etc. will keep you away from working on your goal. Soon.....those distractions add up and your goal seems impossible! I Say......Let's "RESIST FEAR....by Staring At Your Goals With Focus." On Today's show..... I'm discussing Courage with Debbie DiPietro. Debbie is the host of the Ccourageously Go Podcast  Each week, Debbie has a conversation with women about Courage. Stories about courage, life lessons with courage and those who are living with courage.  You can find out more about Debbie DiPietro on her website: www.CourageouslyGo.com Debbie is the author of "Short Morning Prayers: A Collection of Heartfelt Prayers to Start Your Day!"

Achieve Your Goals by Resisting Fear With Courage  

Hey Weight Loss Nation! www.TheWeightLossNation.com The Center for Disease Control &amp; Prevention (CDC) estimates about 48 Million people get sick each year from Foodbourne Illnesses. In 2018, The U.S. Population was 327 Million People..... 48 Million People is almost 15 PERCENT of the Population! That's INSANE! Of those 48 Million People....About 128,000 people are hospitalized and around 3 THOUSAND people DIE from Foodbourne Illnesses each year in the U.S.  More and more cases of E Coli from tainted Ground Beef, are spreading nationwide.  The CDC reported on April 12, 2019, that E Coli contaminated Ground Beef was the culprit in an outbreak that crossed the borders of 6 States. That was in April.......To Date..... 196 people, from 10 Different States, have contracted the Shiga Toxin producing E Coli (STEC) strain, that causes Illness. Two types of E. coli that cause foodbourne illnesses diagnosed in the United States are Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) and entero-toxigenic E. coli (ETEC). STEC are a group of E. coli that produce Shiga toxin. This Poison causes people to have diarrhea, which can be bloody. When you hear reports about outbreaks of E. Coli infections in the United States, they’re usually talking about a type called STEC O157. Shiga Toxin producing E. Coli was named after Japanese Physician and Bacteriologist..... Kiyoshi Shiga.  Dr. Shiga became famous for the discovery of "Shigella Dysenteriae," the organism that caused "Dysentry" in 1897, during a severe epidemic in which more than 90,000 cases were reported. "Dysentry" is an inflammatory disease of the intestine especially of the large intestine, which always results in severe diarrhea and abdominal pain.   Entero-toxigenic E. coli  (ETEC) are the leading cause of Traveler's Diarrhea, which is the most common travel-related illness. It can occur anywhere, but the highest-risk destinations in the world are in most of Asia (except for Japan) as well as the Middle East, Africa, Mexico, and Central and South America.  To date....here are The following States have reported cases of the STEC outbreak - FL, GA, IL, IN, KY, MS, MN, OH, TN, VA 28 people were hospitalized and 2 cases of Hemolitic Uremic Syndrome (HUS), which is a life threatening condition which can cause kidney failure. Let's take a look at some DISGUSTING facts about E. Coli : 1. E. Coli infections happen when you EAT....."tiny" microscopic            amounts of HUMAN or ANIMAL FECES.                                            It takes about 3-5 days from the time you eat the "tainted              food," until you start to show symptoms. 2. The scary part is ....... you probably come into contact with              E.Coli more than you think you do.     The Bacteria exists "Naturally" in the environment and in the        "intestines" of Humans &amp; Animals.     Outbreaks in "Multiple States" of E. Coli in the last 10 YEARS,          have primarily come from FOOD you bought at Grocery Stores....     Ground Beef..... Romaine Lettuce.....and even Frozen Pizza!     E. Coli comes in different strains.... and most of the strains are        Harmless. That's good news!     The STEC Strain is one of the strains of E Coli that cause people        to get very sick.     The major symptoms of STEC are:        a.  Severe Stomach Cramps        b.  Diarrhea... very watery and can contain blood.        c.  Vomiting     Sometimes..... STEC causes Urinatry Tract Infections (UTI's) ...      Respiratory Illness or Pneumonia.     A very SERIOUS effect of STEC can cause Hemolitic              Uremic Syndrome (HUS).     HUS  is a condition that results in the DESTRUCTION of            blood Platelets (Platelets are the cells that form "clots" to      stop bleeding).      HUS can cause anemia (low red blood cell count.. which          means your remaining Red Blood Cells won't have enough      "Hemoglobin" which is an iron-rich protein that helps              red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of        the body). This can cause you to feel tired or weak. You may also have shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches, or an irregular heartbeat.  HUS can also cause "Kidney Failure," due to the damage to the very tiny blood vessels of the kidneys. That's a Serious Problem Nation! It's hard to avoid E. Coli completely.  Here are some ways to lower your risk of infection:   a. Try not to swallow water from swimming pools, lakes, ponds and streams.   b. Avoid eating "UNPASTURIZED" Dairy Products or Juices.   c.  Cook Meat THOROUGHLY. The CDC recommends cooking Ground Beef to a temperature of 160 degrees Farinheight. There's NO QUICK CURE for Treating E. Coli Infections. Most people will recover in 5 - 10 days. You need to stay HYDRATED people!  Drink LOTS of WATER! Eat a lot of CHICKEN SOUP!  Staying HYDRATED is a Key component to Recovery. The CDC advises NOT to use "Antibiotics" as a treatment for E. Coli STEC infections..... since there is NO EVIDENCE that antibiotics are helpful with STEC....AND.....using antibiotics may INCREASE YOUR RISK of developing HUS .... Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome. www.TheWeightLossNation.com How can you prevent STEC infection?  Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and running water. Follow the four steps to food safety when preparing food: Clean your hands &amp; food surfaces often. Separate -Raw meat, Chicken, Seafood and Eggs can Spread Germs to ready-to-eat foods—unless you keep them separate. Cook  Food to the Right Temperature. Use a food thermometer to make sure meat has reached a safe minimum cooking temperature.   Chill  -  Refrigerate perishable food within 2 hours.  Bacteria can multiply rapidly if left at room temperature or in the “Danger Zone” which is between 40°F and 140°F. Never leave perishable food out for more than 2 hours (or 1 hour if it’s hotter than 90° F outside).    You can’t tell whether meat is safely cooked by looking at its color. Did you know that ......One in four burgers turns brown before it has reached the safe internal temperature of 160°F.  Use a food thermometer to check that it’s safe to eat.  Cook ground beef, pork, and lamb to an internal temperature of at least 160°F  Insert food thermometer into the side of the patty, to the center, to check. Cook beef steaks and roasts to an internal temperature of at least 145°F  and allow the meat to rest for 3 minutes after you remove meat from the grill or stove. Check temperature in the thickest part of steaks or roasts.   Prevent cross-contamination by thoroughly washing hands, counters, cutting boards, and utensils with soap and water after they touch raw meat.  Don’t eat RAW Dough or Batter.   Take precautions with food and water when traveling abroad.        Check out the CDC site at  CDC.gov       There's an entire section on "Traveller's Health" that you can check out when travelling abroad.       Let's take a Stand Against E. Coli Weight Loss Nation!      Are you an "Emotional Eater"......Do you Over Eat?

"Dysentry" is an inflammatory disease of the intestine especially of the large intestine, which always results in severe diarrhea and abdominal pain.   Entero-toxigenic E. coli  (ETEC) are the leading cause of Traveler's Diarrhea, which is the most common travel-related illness. It can occur anywhere, but the highest-risk destinations in the world are in most of Asia (except for Japan) as well as the Middle East, Africa, Mexico, and Central and South America. To date....here are The following States have reported cases of the STEC outbreak - FL, GA, IL, IN, KY, MS, MN, OH, TN, VA 28 people were hospitalized and 2 cases of Hemolitic Uremic Syndrome (HUS), which is a life threatening condition which can cause kidney failure. Let's take a look at some DISGUSTING facts about E. Coli : 1. E. Coli infections happen when you EAT....."tiny" microscopic            amounts of HUMAN or ANIMAL FECES.                                            It takes about 3-5 days from the time you eat the "tainted              food," until you start to show symptoms. 2. The scary part is ....... you probably come into contact with              E.Coli more than you think you do.     The Bacteria exists "Naturally" in the environment and in the        "intestines" of Humans &amp; Animals.     Outbreaks in "Multiple States" of E. Coli in the last 10 YEARS,          have primarily come from FOOD you bought at Grocery Stores....     Ground Beef..... Romaine Lettuce.....and even Frozen Pizza!     E. Coli comes in different strains.... and most of the strains are        Harmless. That's good news!     The STEC Strain is one of the strains of E Coli that cause people        to get very sick.     The major symptoms of STEC are:        a.  Severe Stomach Cramps        b.  Diarrhea... very watery and can contain blood.        c.  Vomiting     Sometimes..... STEC causes Urinatry Tract Infections (UTI's) ...      Respiratory Illness or Pneumonia.     A very SERIOUS effect of STEC can cause Hemolitic              Uremic Syndrome (HUS).     HUS  is a condition that results in the DESTRUCTION of            blood Platelets (Platelets are the cells that form "clots" to      stop bleeding).      HUS can cause anemia (low red blood cell count.. which          means your remaining Red Blood Cells won't have enough      "Hemoglobin" which is an iron-rich protein that helps              red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of        the body). This can cause you to feel tired or weak. You may also have shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches, or an irregular heartbeat.  HUS can also cause "Kidney Failure," due to the damage to the very tiny blood vessels of the kidneys. That's a Serious Problem Nation! It's hard to avoid E. Coli completely.  Here are some ways to lower your risk of infection:   a. Try not to swallow water from swimming pools, lakes, ponds and streams.   b. Avoid eating "UNPASTURIZED" Dairy Products or Juices.   c.  Cook Meat THOROUGHLY. The CDC recommends cooking Ground Beef to a temperature of 160 degrees Farinheight. There's NO QUICK CURE for Treating E. Coli Infections. Most people will recover in 5 - 10 days. You need to stay HYDRATED people!  Drink LOTS of WATER! Eat a lot of CHICKEN SOUP!  Staying HYDRATED is a Key component to Recovery. The CDC advises NOT to use "Antibiotics" as a treatment for E. Coli STEC infections..... since there is NO EVIDENCE that antibiotics are helpful with STEC....AND.....using antibiotics may INCREASE YOUR RISK of developing HUS .... Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome. <a href="http://www.TheWeightLossNation.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.TheWeightLossNation.com</a> How can you prevent STEC infection? <ul> <li>Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and running water.</li> <li>Follow the <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/keep-food-safe.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">four steps to food safety</a> when preparing food: Clean your hands &amp; food surfaces often.</li> <li>Separate -Raw meat, Chicken, Seafood and Eggs can Spread Germs to ready-to-eat foods—unless you keep them separate.</li> <li>Cook  Food to the Right Temperature.</li> <li>Use a food thermometer to make sure meat has reached a safe minimum cooking temperature.  </li> <li>Chill  -  Refrigerate perishable food within 2 hours. </li> <li>Bacteria can multiply rapidly if left at room temperature or in the “Danger Zone” which is between 40°F and 140°F.

How Cherry Pie Is Helping Me SLAY Emotional Eating

Hey Weight Loss Nation! www.TheWeightLossNation.com We ALL drink water everyday.  How much do you drink in a day? Did you know YOUR Body is made up of about 60% water? Your body uses water in ALL of it's cells, tissues and organs.....to regulate body temperature.....and to maintain other body functions. Your body loses water everyday when you sweat, through digestion....and.....BREATHING! You REHYDRATE by drinking fluids and eating food with water in it. How much water you need depends on a lot of things. Do you live near Fairbanks, Alaska....where the average temperature RARELY gets over 75 degrees?  Then....you're not sweating that much.  Or....do you live near...... New Orleans?....which is the most HUMID city in the U.S......bet you thought is was Florida! I did.  if so.....you're sweating pretty much all the time and you NEED to rehydrate often. How active are you? Are you a couch potato? If so...... you're probably not going to get dehydrated.  But.....if you exercise or do physical activity for 30 minutes or more......you NEED to replenish the water you will lose by sweating AND breathing faster. It's a good idea to drink water before, during and after physical activity.  How much water Do you need to drink water when you're sick?   So….How much water do you need to drink when you’re sick? Hey Weight Loss Nation! Did you know that you can get PAID….. JUST for listening to this podcast. I know it sounds CRAZY……but it’s true! I just discovered this free app called Podcoin, and it literally PAYS you to LISTEN to podcasts. You’re listening right now….why not get paid to listen! Here’s how it works … you listen to Weight Loss Nation &amp; other podcasts…. and you’ll earn “Podcoins” while you listen. Then…. you turn those Podcoins in…. for gift cards at places like Amazon or Starbucks….. … Or….. if you’re a giving person…… you could even donate those Podcoins to charity. The more you listen…..the more you earn! Download the PodCoin App and in the “Invite Code” section write “WEIGHTLOSS” You’ll receive a “300 PodCoin Bonus” What are you waiting for? Download the PodCoin App Now! You may lose your appetite and don't want to do drink water when you're sick....a FEVER can dehydrate you and you NEED fluids to help your immune system FIGHT viruses &amp; bacteria, while eliminating enemy cells in your phlegm! You may be vomiting or having diarreah! You can become quickly dehydrated if you’re vomiting or having diarreah. Even FASTER if you’re doing both! When your body is in balance with water, your immune system can get rid of waste, dead viruses &amp; bacteria more easily. Also, your cells are in a state of balance &amp; can perform the funtions they were made to do. Your kidneys will be happy, your liver will be happy ..... your Brain is CLEAR...sending out signals to ALL your cells as needed to keep you in optimal health. So drink around 64 ounces of water a day. That's right at least a GALLON of water a day! If you weigh over 200lbs. drink HALF your weight in water.  So....if you weigh 200lbs. drink 100 oz of water a day. How can you measure how much water you drink? Use a clean glass each day, measuring how much water fills the glass. If you're drinking from a 12 oz glass, you know you need to drink at least 5 glasses a day to reach 60 oz. You can also use a 24 oz BPA Free bottle. I drink 4 bottles of water a day in my water bottle, which means I'm drinking 96 oz of water a day. That makes it easier for me to keep track. If you can't stand drinking "Plain water," the easiest thing to do is "squeeze" in some fresh lemon. You could cut up some berries &amp; add them to your water too! You could even have fresh brewed cold ice tea! Here's a quick tip! When you drink an ice cold glass of water after sweating, you force your body to BURN calories in order to bring down the temperature of the water! So......when you drink at least 64 oz of water a day....or more.....if you're sweating alot....or when you're sick....you will keep your body balanced...... Your immune system will work more efficiently....You will have more clarity....your kidneys will produce "clear" colored urine....which means your kidneys are "Happy" You'll POOP easier and your eyes &amp; skin won't be as dry.

Weight Loss Nation

Hey Weight Loss Nation! The Weight Loss Nation https://Shop.TotalLifeChanges.com/34605577/products I'm going to be talking about "pooping" and detoxing your intestine today. It's very important to "poop." Your body excretes excess waste, toxins, fats and bacteria from your body.  I asked my Doctor how often should I be "pooping." She told me everybody poops differently. My doctor also told me the average cycle of "pooping" is from 3 times a day down to once every 3 days. "Pooping" improves your digestive health. Today and next week we are going to be talking.... a lot....about "Poop." I've always had problems "pooping." I suffered all my life with constipation. I use to EAT a lot of processed foods.....fatty foods.....and I EAT a "large amount" of food. These are some ways that cause constipation. Being Pre-Diabetic or having Diabetes can also cause Constipation. Since I started living a long-term healthy lifestyle TWO years ago.....I improved my "constipation" problem.  NOW.... I wanted to improve the frequency of my "pooping." Improve YOUR Frequency of Pooping! I "fit" into the "normal" range of "pooping" my Doctor told me about,  but I wasn't happy being near the end of that range. I started looking into "pooping" and how I could improve the frequency of my "pooping." I wasn't looking for a "fast" or "quick" way to fix my "pooping" problem. The "Fast" way to do things never works. Just like a "Diet" doesn't work.....either does a "quick fix" for pooping. I needed to look into another "lifestyle" change. So.....I started researching "pooping" and how I could increase the frequency of pooping naturally. Mother Nature is awesome! She doesn't make any mistakes Nation! There are plants, trees, herbs, fruits and vegetables for all kinds of ailments. I read about all kinds of "Colon Detoxing." There are sooo many "quick fixes" out there Nation! I wanted an "everyday......natural cleansing, natural detoxification, bringing my body into a balanced state." I wanted to assist my intestine with it's natural functions. Some of the natural functions of your intestine are -   Digestion of the food we eat. Transferring nutrients from food into the cells of your body. Processing the waste from food and eliminating it from the body. Serving as a home for the "good bacteria" that provide a number of essential functions, including aiding in digestion and supporting the immune system.   After researching and trying several kinds of "cleanses" and "detox" products.....I am happy to say I finally found a product, which has helped me. This product is a TEA This TEA has helped MY Intestine with it's Natural Functions. The TEA comes in two varieties..... 1. The first variety is A Regular "Tea-Bag" just like other tea bags you're use to seeing in your supermarket 2. And the 2nd variety comes as an "instant" TEA, that you mix in 8 oz of water. For the last 6 Months......that's what I said....6 months...I have used this TEA to see how it would effect MY "Pooping" and my intestinal health. I am VERY happy to report....I am "Pooping" EVERYDAY! Improve YOUR Frequency of Pooping! I am finally on the opposite side of the "Pooping" cycle that my doctor told me about.  I also lost 5 pounds in 5 days this week, after I ate different kinds of "processed" foods for my Birthday this past week, By just having TWO cups of TEA a day for FIVE days. On other days when I have something to eat that isn't REAL FOOD.....like my "Beanitos" Black Bean Chips... or.... my "Jackson's Honest"....Lime with Sea Salt Tortilla Chips in Coconut Oil..... I drink TWO cups of TEA that day. I don't feel bloated, I don't feel tired, I don't have cramps.  I FEEL GREAT! One of the main reasons I LOVE this TEA, is because of the NATURAL &amp; beneficial Ingredients this TEA has. I prefer the Instant Tea, since I'm always on the go and need to have easy, quick meals and drinks every day. I Love the TEA Bags too.....I make a batch of TEA with the TEA Bag every once in a while, I just prefer the convenience of the instant tea since I'm on the go a lot. Here are the ingredients in the Instant TEA: 1. Dextrin - Dextrin is a soluble Fiber that comes from corn starch. It is a pre-biotic fiber with excellent digestive tolerance. It has a low viscosity (which means it mixes well with other ingredients and it doesn't get thick) The Dextrin Dissolves in water easily.

Hey Weight Loss Nation! <a href="http://www.TheWeightLossNation.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Weight Loss Nation</a> <a href="https://Shop.TotalLifeChanges.com/34605577/products" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://Shop.TotalLifeChanges.com/34605577/products</a> I'm going to be talking about "pooping" and detoxing your intestine today. It's very important to "poop." Your body excretes excess waste, toxins, fats and bacteria from your body.  I asked my Doctor how often should I be "pooping." She told me everybody poops differently. My doctor also told me the average cycle of "pooping" is from 3 times a day down to once every 3 days. "Pooping" improves your digestive health. Today and next week we are going to be talking.... a lot....about "Poop." I've always had problems "pooping." I suffered all my life with constipation. I use to EAT a lot of processed foods.....fatty foods.....and I EAT a "large amount" of food. These are some ways that cause constipation. Being Pre-Diabetic or having Diabetes can also cause Constipation. Since I started living a long-term healthy lifestyle TWO years ago.....I improved my "constipation" problem.  NOW.... I wanted to improve the frequency of my "pooping." <a href="https://Shop.TotalLifeChanges.com/34605577/products" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Improve YOUR Frequency of Pooping!</a> I "fit" into the "normal" range of "pooping" my Doctor told me about,  but I wasn't happy being near the end of that range. I started looking into "pooping" and how I could improve the frequency of my "pooping." I wasn't looking for a "fast" or "quick" way to fix my "pooping" problem. The "Fast" way to do things never works. Just like a "Diet" doesn't work.....either does a "quick fix" for pooping. I needed to look into another "lifestyle" change. So.....I started researching "pooping" and how I could increase the frequency of pooping naturally. Mother Nature is awesome! She doesn't make any mistakes Nation! There are plants, trees, herbs, fruits and vegetables for all kinds of ailments. I read about all kinds of "Colon Detoxing." There are sooo many "quick fixes" out there Nation! I wanted an "everyday......natural cleansing, natural detoxification, bringing my body into a balanced state." I wanted to assist my intestine with it's natural functions. Some of the natural functions of your intestine are -  <ul> <li>Digestion of the food we eat.</li> <li>Transferring nutrients from food into the cells of your body.</li> <li>Processing the waste from food and eliminating it from the body.</li> <li>Serving as a home for the "good bacteria" that provide a number of essential functions, including aiding in digestion and supporting the immune system. </li> </ul> After researching and trying several kinds of "cleanses" and "detox" products.....I am happy to say I finally found a product, which has helped me. This product is a <a href="https://shop.totallifechanges.com/34605577/products" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">TEA</a> This TEA has helped MY Intestine with it's Natural Functions. The TEA comes in two varieties..... 1. The first variety is A Regular "Tea-Bag" just like other tea bags you're use to seeing in your supermarket 2. And the 2nd variety comes as an "instant" TEA, that you mix in 8 oz of water. For the last 6 Months......that's what I said....6 months...I have used this TEA to see how it would effect MY "Pooping" and my intestinal health. I am VERY happy to report....I am "Pooping" EVERYDAY! <a href="https://Shop.TotalLifeChanges.com/34605577/products" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Improve YOUR Frequency of Pooping!</a> I am finally on the opposite side of the "Pooping" cycle that my doctor told me about.  I also lost 5 pounds in 5 days this week, after I ate different kinds of "processed" foods for my Birthday this past week, By just having TWO cups of TEA a day for FIVE days. On other days when I have something to eat that isn't REAL FOOD.....like my "Beanitos" Black Bean Chips... or.... my "Jackson's Honest"....Lime with Sea Salt Tortilla Chips in Coconut Oil..... I drink TWO cups of TEA that day. I don't feel bloated, I don't feel tired, I don't have cramps.  I FEEL GREAT! One of the main reasons I LOVE this TEA, is because of the NATURAL &amp; beneficial Ingredients this TEA has. I prefer the Instant Tea, since I'm always on the go and need to have easy, quick meals and drinks every day. I Love the TEA Bags too.....I make a batch of TEA with the TEA Bag every once in a while, I just prefer the convenience of the instant tea since I'm on the go a lot. Here are the ingredients in the Instant TEA: 1. Dextrin - Dextrin is a soluble Fiber that comes from corn starch. It is a pre-biotic fiber with excellent digestive tolerance. It has a low viscosity (which means it mixes well with other ingredients and it doesn't get thick) The Dextrin Dissolves in water easily. Studies have shown that soluble fiber dextrin can promote the sensation of feeling full when added to beverages. I can ATTEST to that! I do feel more satisfied after drinking the instant TEA, which means I do eat less! 2. Cassia Angustifolia Extract is also known as Senna, Cassia Senna. Cassia Angustifolia is a "natural laxative" which is known to increase the amount of mucus in the intestines. Cassia Angustifolia increases intestinal movement as well as colon secretion, all of which increases the ease of "pooping" NATION! <a href="https://Shop.TotalLifeChanges.com/34605577/products" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Improve YOUR Frequency of Pooping!</a> 3.

You know the adage....."It takes a village to raise a child." The concept is the same with weight loss!

Lose weight only to gain it back again? Or....... Would you like to be part of a "community" of people who are just like you and will be there to support you every single day! Weight loss Nation is comprised of experts in the fields of Nutrition, Mindset, Movement, Yoga, Pilates, Cross Fit, Fitness, Meditation, Emotional Eating and Post Traumatic Stress!

Today, on Weight Loss Nation, I have a conversation with Dr. Glenn Livingston – Author of the International Best Seller, “Never Binge Again.” Dr. Livingston has lived his life as an obese, binge eater. Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer the overweight and/or food obsessed individual, Dr. Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of binging and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food. Dr. Livingston and I discuss our “lizard brain,” and what you can do to help eliminate “trigger” foods from your life.

Can Medical Marijuana Help With Back Pain and Weight Loss S3 Ep030

Hey Weight Loss Nation! www.TheWeightLossNation.com Here we are at the end of March....AND....I just had an AHA moment. A BIG one! So BIG...that it has caused a "Transitional Shift" on my Weight Loss Journey. I just realized after two years....(not kidding)....that I NEVER need a "Take-Out" box, when I go out to eat. Almost everyone around me, usually takes a portion of their food home with them. NEVER me! I also started playing "pickleball." Ever heard of it? It's a combination of tennis, badmitten and ping-pong. You usually play with a partner and the court is smaller than the size of a tennis court. You also play with a plastic "wiffle" type of ball and the racquets are square! I LOVE it! Another physical activity I want to do! Well, I started playing....and after just a few games, my knees are killing me! I'm in MUCHO pain! I figured out that my body is telling me....."Diane, you are still too heavy for your joints." I NEED to lose more weight to keep the burden off my knees and ankles. How much?? I have no idea. I just know that I have to do this for my health. So......if you are an EMOTIONAL EATER....and/or you "Over Eat," you should JOIN the Weight Loss Nation Community. I am going to be concentrating on EMOTIONAL Eating and Portion Sizes. If you're a woman....you are an EMOTIONAL EATER....AND you OVEREAT because your PORTION SIZES are too big....PLEASE JOIN the Weight Loss Nation Village!  We will conquer this together!

Are You An Emotional Eater And An Over Eater?

Cliff Ravenscraft

Hey Weight Loss Nation! www.TheWeightLossNation.com Today, we will be focusing on "Mindfullness." The Third Part of Weight Loss Nation's path to Living a Long-Term Healthy Lifestyle. I'm speaking with Cliff Ravenscraft, host of the "Podcast Answer Man," and the "Cliff Ravenscraft Show." Cliff has lived his life with "weight issues."  In fact, Cliff has been overweight since he was around 18 years old. Seeing himself as a "fat person," Cliff was on the lose weight, gain weight back path, the same path that many of you have been on in your life.  You know I've walked that path for 50 years of my own life! Speaking at an event with Ken Davis and Michael Hyatt, Cliff felt he was a "failure" speaking to attendees due to being a "fat person." While having dinner with Ken Davis, Ken offered to Mentor Cliff with his weight loss, if Cliff agreed to the following conditions: 1. Cliff had to read Ken's book, "Fully Alive." 2. Cliff had to commit to working out six days a week. 3. Cliff had to agree to attend a tri-athelon Ken was putting on in Nashville later that year. Cliff thought about it and it soon became clear to Cliff that he had changed his identity. Cliff saw himself, for the first time in his life, as the  "Cliff" who works out six days a week guy, and not the "Cliff" is a "fat person" guy. Cliff went on to fullfill his committment to Ken Davis and as the date of our interview, has lost 73 lbs. ! Cliff is now planning "Tony Robbins" style live events. His first event, "Free the Dream," will be held in Nashville, Tennessee in September. Check out the website for more information: www.FreeTheDream.live If you would like more information on podcasting, or help with building your business, here is Cliff's new website: www.mindsetanswerman.com www.CliffRavenscraft.com Finally, if you want to learn more about long-term, healthy lifestyles, go to: WeightLossNation.com Thank you for listening to Weight Loss Nation!

The Third Part of Weight Loss Nation's path to Living a Long-Term Healthy Lifestyle. I'm speaking with Cliff Ravenscraft, host of the "Podcast Answer Man," and the "Cliff Ravenscraft Show." Cliff has lived his life with "weight issues."  In fact, Cliff has been overweight since he was around 18 years old. Seeing himself as a "fat person," Cliff was on the lose weight, gain weight back path, the same path that many of you have been on in your life.  You know I've walked that path for 50 years of my own life! Speaking at an event with Ken Davis and Michael Hyatt, Cliff felt he was a "failure" speaking to attendees due to being a "fat person." While having dinner with Ken Davis, Ken offered to Mentor Cliff with his weight loss, if Cliff agreed to the following conditions: 1. Cliff had to read Ken's book, "Fully Alive." 2. Cliff had to commit to working out six days a week. 3. Cliff had to agree to attend a tri-athelon Ken was putting on in Nashville later that year. Cliff thought about it and it soon became clear to Cliff that he had changed his identity. Cliff saw himself, for the first time in his life, as the  "Cliff" who works out six days a week guy, and not the "Cliff" is a "fat person" guy. Cliff went on to fullfill his committment to Ken Davis and as the date of our interview, has lost 73 lbs. ! Cliff is now planning "Tony Robbins" style live events. His first event, "Free the Dream," will be held in Nashville, Tennessee in September.

Cliff Ravenscraft Breaks Through His Own Weight Loss Plateau Using Mindfullness S3 Ep022

Hey Weight Loss Nation! It’s Ground Hog Day! Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning…..so……. that means 6 more weeks of winter! It’s also Concoction Friday Nation! Today……I’m talking about how healthy Peanut Butter is! www.TheWeightLossNation.com Become a member of Weight Loss Nation Tampa Bay today....for only $20.18 a month for the next 12 months! Here's the link:  Weight Loss Nation Tampa Bay Members  Today's show is sponsored by Allison Hollister - Licensed Massage Therapist, who specializes in Therapeutic Bodywork Therapy in Tampa, FL. If you are in PAIN, and you cannot move your body.....YOU need to call Allison Hollister. She will get rid of the source of your pain, so you can start doing activiites that you love to do! Live in Tampa? Contact Allison at AlliHollister@gmail.com or schedule an appointment at 813-417-3628 Peanut Butter is one of my favorite satisfying foods to eat.                                               Today, we take it for granted on how easy it is to go from the thought of… ”I feel like eating some peanut butter” ……… to either walking into the kitchen and opening up a jar or having it delivered to your door within 2 hrs. by ordering a jar on Amazon Pantry. Peanut Butter is a healthy food and we have Four Men to thank for bringing us this delicious food we enjoy today The four men are:  Marcus Gilmore Edson of Canada, John Harvey Kellogg, Ambrose Straub of St. Louis, Missouri and chemist Joseph Rosefield.  In 1884, Marcus Edson developed a process to make peanut paste by “milling” roasted peanuts between two heated plates. A year later, The famous cereal maker, Kellogg, received a patent for a technique he developed for making peanut butter with raw peanuts in 1895. Dr. Straub is responsible for patenting a peanut butter making machine in 1903. Peanut butter was introduced to audiences at the 1904 Universal Exposition in St. Louis at C.H. Sumner’s concession stand. Now….96 years later… the man responsible for bringing us peanut butter the way we know and love today… was Joseph Rosefield.   In 1922, through homogenization, Rosefield was able to keep peanut oil from separating from the peanut solids. The rest they say……..is history! Have you ever heard someone say……”They get along like oil and vinegar! What that means….is that oil and vinegar generally don’t mix well together.                        That’s why most Milk is HOMOGENIZED. The physical process breaks down the fat molecules in cream into smaller ones, so that the smaller fat molecules can spread evenly throughout the milk.  This allows the cream and milk to stay together. The same thing is done with Peanut Butter. HOMOGENIZATION allows the oil in peanut butter to mix with the crushed peanuts. Rosefield later sold the patent to a company that began making Peter Pan peanut butter. Rosefield decided to go into the Peanut Butter business for himself …..selling the Skippy peanut butter brand through his Rosefield Packing Company. He also supplied peanut butter for military rations during World War II NOW……let’s take a look at different kinds of Peanut Butter. I grew up on Skippy Peanut Butter or Jif Peanut Butter. Whichever my mom had a coupon for. Now that I’m living a healthy lifestyle…..regular Skippy or Jif Peanut Butter wouldn’t be one of the healthiest choices to make. Let’s take a look at a jar of  Jiff creamy peanut butter…… Here are the ingredients…… Roasted Peanuts and Sugar. Contains 2% or less of……Molasses,.,,Fully Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil …..which means hydrogen is added to break down the fat molecules to produce a more solid saturated fat. The process of Fully hydrogenated produces NO TRANS FATTY ACIDS, which is less harmful to your body than Partially hydrogenated fats. The serving size is  2 Tablespoons. There are 190 calories per serving. Total Fat is 16gms                                                                        Contains  2.5 gms of saturated fat  &amp; there are NO Trans Fat. Saturated fats are simply fats that stay solid at room temperature. We see mostly saturated fats in animal fat. The marbled fat you see in a steak or the fat on a piece of chicken. Trans fat which are also known as Trans Fatty Acids….. when Hydrogen is added to the oil to help make it a solid. You see Trans Fats in Margarine or Crisco Oil. There is NO Cholesterol …..one serving has 105mg of Sodium. There are 8gms of Total Carbs…….there are 2gms of Fiber ……and……3gms of Sugar, which is ADDED. There is 7 gms of Protein in a serving Each serving contains ….20% Niacin…..10% Vitamin E …..4% Iron….and…..2% Riboflavin. Since the Jiff Peanut Butter is Fully Hydrogenated…..you do not have to refrigerate it. You can store it in your pantry and the peanut butter will stay a solid. Now……let’s look at my favorite peanut butter. I LOVE the brand “Once Again” The Once Again Company began in 1976 in rural Nunda, NY.    The company is “Employee-Owned”  I LOVE THAT! I happen to love…. the Once Again Creamy Peanut Butter Here are the ingredients: Dry Roasted Blanched Organic Peanuts, Salts. That’s it. That’s the ingredients Peanut Butter should have ……Period! No Fully Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil…….so that means the Oil and Peanut butter IS separated. You will need to “Stir” the Peanut Butter to mix the oil and peanut butter. I refrigerate the peanut butter after stirring and that helps keep the peanut butter a solid. Now for the nutritional value ……. Serving Size is the same =  2 Tablespoons There are 201 Calories per serving. Total Fat is 16 gms Saturated Fat is 3 gms and there is NO TRANS FATS There is NO Cholesterol and each serving has 50mg of salt. There are a total of 7gms of carbs…….2 gms of Fiber ….and…..2 gms of sugar. There is 9 gms of Protein! Each serving has … 10% Folate……4% Potassium…..4% Iron…. And 2% Calcium If you are interested in buying “Once Again” Peanut Butter….. go to their website  You can buy Once Again products on line at www.onceagainnutbutter.com  If you would rather shop and buy “Once Again” Peanut Butter at a local supermarket near you…….. you can buy it in a Whole Foods market or Sprouts…..or in a local Health Food store near you. If you are looking for a more “familiar” brand of Peanut Butter that is healthy for you…..I found that “Smuckers” Natural Creamy Peanut Butter” will pass the test.

S2 Ep011 Eat Real Food And Lose Weight Now

Hey Weight Loss Nation! www.TheWeightLossNation.com I am not a Doctor….nor am I a nutritionist or dietician. In fact, I have no degree in health whatsoever. I research fruits, vegetables and grains online…..just like anyone would do.  Therefore…..the information I am providing you is INFORMATIONAL and for your entertainment only. If you have a medical condition or injury and you are going on a diet or meal program, please check with your physician first…. prior to beginning any diet or exercise program. With that said…..let’s learn some things about Blueberries!   BLUEBERRIES THE KING OF ANTI-OXIDANTS!   HISTORY Blueberries are “Native” to North America.  We finally have a GREAT Food Representing US! In early America, The Native Americans recognized the health benefits of blueberries using them for medicinal purposes and as flavoring in their foods. It wasn’t until 1910, that Frederick Coville, an American Botanist, discovered blueberries could only thrive in “acidic soil.” In 1911, Elizabeth White, daughter of a New Jersey cranberry farmer read Coville’s Experiments in Blueberries….and invited Coville to use the family farm to partner with her in his experiments in blueberries. In 1916 White &amp; Coville harvested &amp; sold the FIRST COMMERCIAL CROP of “highbush” blueberries in Whitesbog, NJ. “High Bush” means it grows tall!......Blueberries grow on bushes that reach a height…..of about 6 to 8 feet. They also produce a larger amount of berries on the bush. By contrast….”Low Bush” Blueberries…a.k.a. “wild blueberries” grow close to the ground….being no taller than 2 feet high. The berries are smaller and “sweeter” than “High Bush” Low Bush berries are very “hardy” plants, and do well in different types of soil and climate. Between the years 1942 – 1962, “Blueberry Fever” swept the nation and more than 200,000 seedlings were spread across 13 states! By 2014….Blueberry Production across 5 Continents rose to over            1 Billion Pounds! That’s a LOT of Blueberries! Within the United States….the top Four States that produce “highbush” variety of blueberries are -  Michigan, Washington, Georgia and Oregon. 60% of the “High Bush” blueberries grown in those States are sold as “Fresh Blueberries” just like you buy a “pint of blueberries” in the store ….and the other 40% are converted into juices, jams or dried fruit. The State which produces the largest amount of “low bush” blueberries is….the State of Maine. More than a dozen U.S, States grow blueberries commercially, and all together, they produce over 550 million pounds of blueberries! Even though the U.S. grows an enormous amount of blueberries, the majority of blueberries consumed in the U.S. is imported! Chile and Canada supply the U.S. with the majority of imported blueberries.   BENEFITS OF BLUEBERRIES I’ve stated several times on this show…….dark colored fruits and vegetables get their color due to the Flavonoid called “Anthocyanin” Flavonoids provide the powerful anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory properties and ……they produce the vibrant, dark color in foods. That means that Blueberries…..are part of our “Pac Man” Family! No surprise there Nation!  Flavonoids like….”Flavonois” and “Flavan-3-ols” are highly effective in “searching, Fighting and help in Destroying Free Radical Cells” in your body, that cause cancers. Blueberries also contain Vitamin C, Vitamin A and with the powerful Flavonoids – they help decrease inflammation in the body and help inhibit the growth of cancer cells related to esophageal, lung, mouth, endometrial, pancreatic, prostate and Colon Cancers. Blueberries also contain Folate.    Folate plays a role in DNA Synthesis and repair. This can help prevent the forming of cancer cells due to mutations in DNA. Blueberries also contain  iron, phosphorous, calcum, magnesium, manganese, zinc and Vit K.   What a friggin nutrient-rich Fruit! You Go Blueberry! All of those vitamins and minerals are components of bones. Iron &amp; Zinc play Crucial roles in maintaining bone strength and elasticity of joints. When you have a good intake of Vitamin K you will improve calcium absorption which may help reduce calcium loss or breaking of bones.   Blueberries have a HUGE amount of Vit C.  One Cup of Blueberries provides 24% of the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C. Vit C also is an essential nutrient and works to prevent skin damage caused by the sun. Flavonoids have a unique relationship with Vit C, by helping “transport” Vit C throughout your body.  Flavonoids also help regulate the function of an enzyme called “Ascorbate Oxidase” which converts Vit C into a NON Vitamin form. I have no idea why that is important to the cells in your body…..but it is….so eating foods rich in Vit C and Flavonoids is important!   Blueberries also have a HIGH amount of FIBER. One Cup of Blueberries has 3.6 grams of Fiber!  Studies have shown that Type 1 Diabetics who eat high amounts of Fiber, have lower low blood glucose levels and Type 2 Diabetics who eat high amounts of Fiber may also improve their fat and insulin levels. HUGE benefit for Diabetics! Fiber also will help to prevent CONSTIPATION. Fiber helps maintain regularity in the digestive tract. Fiber functions as a “bulking agent” in the Digestive System. High Fiber also makes you feel full! When you feel full ……you don’t EAT as much! That automatically reduces your Calorie intake. Blueberries also have Vit B6 and Folate which helps prevent the buildup of the compound known as “Homocysteine.” Excessive buildup of Homocysteine in the body can damage the blood vessels and lead to heart problems. Blueberries also contain the phytonutrient called “Resveratrol” Sound Familiar……of course it does! There have been lots of publicized research on RED wine, which contains Resveratrol. The Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes…..but….Resveratrol is also found in BLUEBERRIES! The Resveratrol is found in smaller amounts in Blueberries, but HEY……Resveratrol is an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory phytonutrient! Blueberries also help nervous system responses, by protecting nerve cells from “oxidative” damage with those FREE Radical Cells. This can help with Cognitive Function……  www.TheWeightLossNation.com NUTRITIONAL VALUE Finally…… let’s take a look at the actual nutritional value of just ONE CUP Of Blueberries! Calorie wise……One Cup of Blueberries has about 80 calories. There is NO Cholesterol and 1.1 gms. Of Protein. There is 21 gms of Carbohydrates AND   …..3.6 gms of FIBER.  Wooooo HOOOOO! There is about 14 gms of sugar. 24% of Vit C 5 % of Vit B6 36 % of Vit K 9mg of Calcium .5 mg of iron 114 mg. of Magnesium 18 mg of Phosphorus 0.25 mg of Zinc  and 9 mg of Folate. Blueberries also contain copper, Beta-Carotene, choline, Vit A, Vit E And…..Manganese. Blueberries are definitely the King of Anti-Oxidants !!   BLUEBERRY SEASON RUNS IN THE U.S. FROM APRIL THROU SEPTEMBER &amp; THEN IMPORTS FROM CHILI OCCURS FROM OCTOBER THRU MARCH, WHICH WILL ALLOW YOU ACCESS TO OUR “PAC MAN” FAMILY STAR ALL-YEAR ROUND!

Hey Weight Loss Nation! <a href="http://www.TheWeightLossNation.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.TheWeightLossNation.com</a> I am not a Doctor….nor am I a nutritionist or dietician. In fact, I have no degree in health whatsoever. I research fruits, vegetables and grains online…..just like anyone would do.  Therefore…..the information I am providing you is INFORMATIONAL and for your entertainment only. If you have a medical condition or injury and you are going on a diet or meal program, please check with your physician first…. prior to beginning any diet or exercise program. With that said…..let’s learn some things about Blueberries! BLUEBERRIES THE KING OF ANTI-OXIDANTS! HISTORY Blueberries are “Native” to North America.  We finally have a GREAT Food Representing US! In early America, The Native Americans recognized the health benefits of blueberries using them for medicinal purposes and as flavoring in their foods. It wasn’t until 1910, that Frederick Coville, an American Botanist, discovered blueberries could only thrive in “acidic soil.” In 1911, Elizabeth White, daughter of a New Jersey cranberry farmer read Coville’s Experiments in Blueberries….and invited Coville to use the family farm to partner with her in his experiments in blueberries. In 1916 White &amp; Coville harvested &amp; sold the FIRST COMMERCIAL CROP of “highbush” blueberries in Whitesbog, NJ. “High Bush” means it grows tall!......Blueberries grow on bushes that reach a height…..of about 6 to 8 feet. They also produce a larger amount of berries on the bush. By contrast….”Low Bush” Blueberries…a.k.a. “wild blueberries” grow close to the ground….being no taller than 2 feet high. The berries are smaller and “sweeter” than “High Bush” Low Bush berries are very “hardy” plants, and do well in different types of soil and climate. Between the years 1942 – 1962, “Blueberry Fever” swept the nation and more than 200,000 seedlings were spread across 13 states! By 2014….Blueberry Production across 5 Continents rose to over            1 Billion Pounds! That’s a LOT of Blueberries! Within the United States….the top Four States that produce “highbush” variety of blueberries are -  Michigan, Washington, Georgia and Oregon. 60% of the “High Bush” blueberries grown in those States are sold as “Fresh Blueberries” just like you buy a “pint of blueberries” in the store ….and the other 40% are converted into juices, jams or dried fruit. The State which produces the largest amount of “low bush” blueberries is….the State of Maine. More than a dozen U.S, States grow blueberries commercially, and all together, they produce over 550 million pounds of blueberries! Even though the U.S. grows an enormous amount of blueberries, the majority of blueberries consumed in the U.S. is imported! Chile and Canada supply the U.S. with the majority of imported blueberries. BENEFITS OF BLUEBERRIES I’ve stated several times on this show…….dark colored fruits and vegetables get their color due to the Flavonoid called “Anthocyanin” Flavonoids provide the powerful anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory properties and ……they produce the vibrant, dark color in foods. That means that Blueberries…..are part of our “Pac Man” Family! No surprise there Nation!  Flavonoids like….”Flavonois” and “Flavan-3-ols” are highly effective in “searching, Fighting and help in Destroying Free Radical Cells” in your body, that cause cancers. Blueberries also contain Vitamin C, Vitamin A and with the powerful Flavonoids – they help decrease inflammation in the body and help inhibit the growth of cancer cells related to esophageal, lung, mouth, endometrial, pancreatic, prostate and Colon Cancers. Blueberries also contain Folate.    Folate plays a role in DNA Synthesis and repair. This can help prevent the forming of cancer cells due to mutations in DNA. Blueberries also contain  iron, phosphorous, calcum, magnesium, manganese, zinc and Vit K.   What a friggin nutrient-rich Fruit! You Go Blueberry! All of those vitamins and minerals are components of bones. Iron &amp; Zinc play Crucial roles in maintaining bone strength and elasticity of joints. When you have a good intake of Vitamin K you will improve calcium absorption which may help reduce calcium loss or breaking of bones. Blueberries have a HUGE amount of Vit C.  One Cup of Blueberries provides 24% of the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C. Vit C also is an essential nutrient and works to prevent skin damage caused by the sun. Flavonoids have a unique relationship with Vit C, by helping “transport” Vit C throughout your body.  Flavonoids also help regulate the function of an enzyme called “Ascorbate Oxidase” which converts Vit C into a NON Vitamin form. I have no idea why that is important to the cells in your body…..but it is….so eating foods rich in Vit C and Flavonoids is important! Blueberries also have a HIGH amount of FIBER. One Cup of Blueberries has 3.6 grams of Fiber!  Studies have shown that Type 1 Diabetics who eat high amounts of Fiber, have lower low blood glucose levels and Type 2 Diabetics who eat high amounts of Fiber may also improve their fat and insulin levels. HUGE benefit for Diabetics! Fiber also will help to prevent CONSTIPATION. Fiber helps maintain regularity in the digestive tract. Fiber functions as a “bulking agent” in the Digestive System. High Fiber also makes you feel full! When you feel full ……you don’t EAT as much! That automatically reduces your Calorie intake. Blueberries also have Vit B6 and Folate which helps prevent the buildup of the compound known as “Homocysteine.” Excessive buildup of Homocysteine in the body can damage the blood vessels and lead to heart problems. Blueberries also contain the phytonutrient called “Resveratrol” Sound Familiar……of course it does! There have been lots of publicized research on RED wine, which contains Resveratrol. The Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes…..but….Resveratrol is also found in BLUEBERRIES! The Resveratrol is found in smaller amounts in Blueberries, but HEY……Resveratrol is an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory phytonutrient! Blueberries also help nervous system responses, by protecting nerve cells from “oxidative” damage with those FREE Radical Cells. This can help with Cognitive Function…… <a href="http://www.TheWeightLossNation.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.TheWeightLossNation.com</a> NUTRITIONAL VALUE Finally…… let’s take a look at the actual nutritional value of just ONE CUP Of Blueberries! Calorie wise……One Cup of Blueberries has about 80 calories. There is NO Cholesterol and 1.1 gms. Of Protein. There is 21 gms of Carbohydrates AND   …..3.6 gms of FIBER.  Wooooo HOOOOO! There is about 14 gms of sugar. 24% of Vit C 5 % of Vit B6 36 % of Vit K 9mg of Calcium .5 mg of iron 114 mg. of Magnesium 18 mg of Phosphorus 0.25 mg of Zinc  and 9 mg of Folate. Blueberries also contain copper, Beta-Carotene, choline, Vit A, Vit E And…..Manganese. Blueberries are definitely the King of Anti-Oxidants !! BLUEBERRY SEASON RUNS IN THE U.S. FROM APRIL THROU SEPTEMBER &amp; THEN IMPORTS FROM CHILI OCCURS FROM OCTOBER THRU MARCH, WHICH WILL ALLOW YOU ACCESS TO OUR “PAC MAN” FAMILY STAR ALL-YEAR ROUND! Next week, I’ll have a Blueberry recipe for you ….. a REAL Recipe….I’m not going to give you a recipe like adding Blueberries to your Oatmeal. NO…..I’m going to find and execute a REAL Recipe that is Easy and Healthy for YOU! Ready to join Weight Loss Nation Tampa Bay!

Are Blueberries REALLY That Good For You?  S3 Ep005

Hey Weight Loss Nation! It’s Tampa Bay Tuesday! That’s right! I have an awesome, Healthy place for you to check out if you live in the Tampa Bay area. Today…..I am reviewing “Tasty Roots” “Tasty Roots” is a small brick n mortar store, located on beautiful “Davis Island” in Tampa. Standing among the beautiful shops and restaurants in the “down town” section of Davis Island….. stands “Tasty Roots.” I walked in and standing at the register is a sweet, young lady, who immediately says “Hi” to me and she smiles. I LOVE when people smile at me. Don’t you love that! It immediately makes you smile right back at that person.     You automatically feel better when you smile! I was introduced to this wonderful woman, by my friend Sarah, and this woman turns out to be the owner of “Tasty Roots” Her name is Kirstin Coolman. I start speaking with Kirstin and I tell her all about Weight Loss Nation…… and my long-term healthy lifestyle. Kirstin tells me that she is also living a long-term healthy lifestyle and she tells me how she “Loves” to “create” her healthy meals…….every day!..... for the people on Davis Island. I love that. FRESH meals made daily!! I walk over to the refrigerators and there are a lot of choices! “Tasty Roots” has meal choices with meat…. Or… without meat. Tasty Roots has meals with Chicken…. Beef…. Salmon… tuna and turkey. For Veggies….Tasty Roots has a HUGE variety…..they use.. Beets, Bell Pepper, Broccoli, Brussels Sprout, Cabbage, Carrots, Cauliflower, Celery, Collard Greens, Green Beans,Mushrooms, Onions, Peas, Spinach, Tomatoes and Zucchini. Tasty Roots offers a variety….of healthy pre-made meals ….that cater to many different Meal Plans….. including traditional ….. gluten-free, paleo, vegan, vegetarian,                                                pescatarian (which I had no idea what that was until Kirstin told me it is a person who doesn’t eat meat, except for Fish.) “Tasty Roots” offer custom meal plans, snacks, teas, cold brew coffee, fresh produce……raw and vegan desserts…..,and….. Bone Broths! All the ingredients that Tasty Roots use…. are ORGANIC  and NONGMO! “Tasty Roots” …….IS…….an Organic Grab N' Go Cafe.   That’s the best way for me to describe it.                                         All their meals are made with ingredients that are organic &amp; Non- GMO, sourced from local farms…..AND…..the meals are made from SCRATCH!  Just like your mom or Grandmother would make. I looked over the meals in the refrigerator and picked out Three pre-made meals. I picked out Turkey….with Green Beans &amp; Sweet Potato, because I LOVE Sweet Potatoes and I never make Turkey….which…..I also Love! I picked out Grilled Eggplant in an almond crust with quinoa…because….I friggin LOVE Eggplant….which I NEVER Cook….because I SUCK at Cooking…..AND….I LOVE Quinoa! And I picked out a quart of Bone Broth. Why? Because I’ve been hearing &amp; reading all about “Bone Broth” and I want to taste what it’s all about!  The meals have a “use by date” written directly on the label, to ensure great taste and food safety, since they don’t use and “preservatives.” The portion is made as “one serving” which comes in a plastic container. Looks a little “skimpy” to me……since I eat like a friggin “Football Player.” We’ll see if that fills me up. It would probably fill up 99% of the people who eat that meal…….I just happen to be the 1%, who has a “portion control” issue right now! OK….we’ll see. My EYES are getting the best of me right now. Anyway….The prices are a bit high……which I expected…..due to the meals being pre-made and Organic. Meals with “meat” range from $10.75 up to $14.50 for the Salmon. Vegetarian meals range from $9 to $10.75 The Turkey meal I picked out was $12.75 &amp; the Eggplant meal was $9.00. The Quart of Bone Broth was $19.00. I could have bought the “chicken broth” at $8.00 a quart.. but I really wanted to taste the “Bone Broth.” The place is very, very clean. Even the glass on the refrigerator doors are clean! Very impressed with how clean and organized “Tasty Roots” is. I bought the Bone Broth Frozen…..so it kept my other 2 meals nice n cold for the trip home. I’m going to eat these meals and let you know on “Concoction Friday” if I liked them or NOT. Kristin is very helpful and will answer ANY questions you have about her daily made meals as well as her knowledgeable staff. “Tasty Roots” is open Monday – Saturday from 11:00am – 7:00pm and they are open on Sundays from 12:00 – 5pm You can visit their FB page at www.facebook.com/pg/TastyRootsTampa Or you can email Kirstin Coolman @ TastyRootsTampa@gmail.com Visit “Tasty Roots” on Davis Island! The address is – 218 E. Davis Blvd, Tampa, FL 33606. Again…..I’ll determine how many “thumbs up” for “Tasty Roots” AFTER …….I eat the meals. As far as Cleanliness and the availability of food choices?? Hands Down a BIG 2  Weight Loss Nation thumbs up! Friday…..I’ll get to  the Review of the actual Food!

Where Do I Go to Get Organic, Fresh Made Meals?

Hey Weight Loss Nation! www.TheWeightLossNation.com I was a speaker and attendee at the Podfest Multimedia Expo this past February in Orlando, Florida. www.Podfestexpo.com/2019 On the last day of Podfest, we had a classic "roast" for one of podcasting's pioneers.....Dave Jackson! Dave Jackson hosts "The School of Podcasting," which is a fantastic podcast, which teaches you how to podcast. Dave has been podcasting for over 12 years! I know.....I didn't even know what a podcast was 3 years ago! Now, I'm hosting two shows! Anyway........Dave Jackson has another podcast (he has like 15 different shows) called "Logical Weight Loss."  During the "roast," I was really giving it to Dave, because he has had this weight loss podcast for several years, but he doesn't lose weight! The roast was all in good fun. My fellow "roasters" had the room rolling in laughter. Dave took all the jokes and jabs really good. He's an awesome guy and a good friend! After the ceremonies were over, Dave came up to me and told me he was so glad I was kidding him about his weight loss show during the "roast."  Dave said I inspired him to really get healthy and to lose the weight he's been trying to lose the past few years.  Then later on, one of my other podcast buddies - Jonathan Oakes, who is the host of the world known "Trivial Warfare" podcast; comes up to me and says I inspired him during the "roast" and he wants to lose weight. I was like.....cool! Good for Jonathan. Jonathan had me and Glenn "the geek," from Horse Radio Network on Trivial Warfare. It was me and Glenn against Jonathan.  I had previously considered myself to be pretty darn good at trivia. I would do excellent on Jeopardy or at playing Trivial Pursuit. When I got on Trivial Warfare......I felt like I was as dumb as a rock! I was losing my mind! I made such stupid mistakes! You have to listen to the episode. You'll laugh your butt off! Here's the link to the episode:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/tw117-fuggedaboudit/id964623770?i=1000385667149&amp;mt=2 Then even later on....one of my other buddies, Niel Guilarte, the director of "The Messengers - A Podcast Documentary," and the "All Things Post" Podcast starts talking to me about his weight loss journey. Niel tells me he really wants to hit his weight loss goal of 100 pounds, and that I inspired him from the "roast." If I knew I was going to be so inspiring, I would have had an entire session about weight loss at the conference! I wanted to help my buddies on their weight loss journey, so I asked each of them how I could help. Each one of them said they wanted to be "accountable." I brought up the idea of a "challenge," and that was all I had to say. Dave Jackson, Jonathan Oakes and Niel Guilarte are in! The Weight Loss Nation Podcaster's Challenge is officially on! Three men....three Podcast icons.....are fighting for their life to get healthy! Here's the criteria I have set. Each contestant will be measured in the following three areas: 1.  Blood Pressure      If a contestant has a blood pressure reading of          120/80 or better.....the contestant will receive          five (5) points.      If a contestant has a blood pressure reading of 122/82 up to 128/88, the contestant will receive two (2) points.     If a contestant has a blood pressure reading of 130/90 or higher.....NO points will be awarded.     In fact, I'll probably call in the paramedics! 2. BMI - Body Mass Index     Body Mass Index is a formula that takes the height and weight of the person and the percentage of fat in their bodies and awards a range.     A Body Mass Index of 18.5 - 25.0 is considered to be "normal."    If a contestant's Body Mass Index is between 18.5 and 25.0 they will be awarded five (5) points.    If a contestant's Body Mass Index is between 25.1 -29.9, the contestant will be awarded one (1) point.    Finally, if a contestant's Body Mass Index is 30.0 or higher, no points will be awarded, since they are considered "obese." 3.  AC1 Blood Test The AC1 Blood Test measures the level of Glucose in your blood over the past two months. An AC1 level of 5.6 or less is considered to be "normal." If a contestant has an AC1 range between 5.6 or less, they will receive 10 points. An AC1 level of 5.7 - 6.4 indicates "Pre-Diabetes." If a contestant has an AC1 range between 5.7 - 6.4, they will receive one (1) point. Finally, an AC1 level of 6.5 or higher, this is an indication of Diabetes and no points will be given.  In fact, I'll be calling the paramedics in again! The most points a contestant can achieve is 20. If by some chance....there is a tie.....we will have a playoff...... The contestants will have to do "sit ups" on stage! The most sit ups in a minute will determine the overall winner! I haven't figured out what the prizes will be....maybe something good.....maybe a "Zonk."  Heck...maybe both! Either way.....the contestants have until March 9, 2019, to get healthy. Podfest Multimedia Expo will be from March 7 - March 9, 2019 in beautiful, Orlando, Florida. If you're a podcaster, someone who thinks they should be a guest on a podcast or who just wants to hang out with podcasters..... Then join me, Dave Jackson, Jonathan Oakes and hundreds of other podcasters at the Podfest Multimedia Expo. Here's the link to get more information: www.Podfestexpo.com/2019   The Weight Loss Nation If you don't know how to start the journey towards a long-term healthy lifestyle, keep listening to the Weight Loss Nation Podcast. You will learn about food....REAL food.

If a contestant has an AC1 range between 5.7 - 6.4, they will receive one (1) point. Finally, an AC1 level of 6.5 or higher, this is an indication of Diabetes and no points will be given.  In fact, I'll be calling the paramedics in again! The most points a contestant can achieve is 20. If by some chance....there is a tie.....we will have a playoff...... The contestants will have to do "sit ups" on stage! The most sit ups in a minute will determine the overall winner! I haven't figured out what the prizes will be....maybe something good.....maybe a "Zonk."  Heck...maybe both! Either way.....the contestants have until March 9, 2019, to get healthy. Podfest Multimedia Expo will be from March 7 - March 9, 2019 in beautiful, Orlando, Florida. If you're a podcaster, someone who thinks they should be a guest on a podcast or who just wants to hang out with podcasters.....

The First Challenger in the Weight Loss Challenge is Podcaster Dave Jackson

Hey Weight Loss Nation! Today, I am having a conversation with Terry Davis, a Sumter County, Florida resident, who gained over 150 pounds, after battling colon cancer, and losing both her parents a short time after each other. Terry survived colon cancer and developed a difficult relationship with food. During her cancer treatment, Terry had many, many days of not wanting to eat. She felt nauseous, and the smells of certain foods caused her to lose her appetite.  When Terry beat the colon cancer, she began to feel that she wanted to eat, "what she wanted to eat. if she wanted to eat chocolate cake....she ate it. If she wanted to eat fried chicken.....she ate it. Terry found herself eating more and more food.  The weight quickly added up and Terry found herself at 303 pounds! Terry was tired, depressed and staying at home. Terry became her father's caretaker and cared for him 24 hours a day. Soon after her father passed, Terry's mother became sick and she found herself taking care of her mother too. It was a full-time job for Terry. Friends and neighbors brought food over to Terry's house to help out. Terry was eating macaroni and cheese, fried chicken and other fatty and "comfort" foods during this time.   Terry turned to food to deal with her emotions.  Terry was in a tailspin.  One day, a few months after Terry's parents had both passed away, Terry felt like she was weak and passing out. Terry went to her doctor and the doctor sent her to the ER right away. In the ER, Terry had all kinds of tests. The ER Doctor came into the room and had a conversation with Terry. The Doctor told Terry that the tests revealed that she had diabetes and high blood pressure. The Doctor told Terry that she was a "pretty woman, but she was FAT!" The Doctor asked Terry if she had any grand-children. Terry responded, "Not yet." The Doctor proceeded to tell Terry that she would never see her grandchildren if she didn't immediately start losing weight. The ER Doctor told Terry to start on a low carb meal plan and that she would lose the weight and reverse the diabetes and high blood pressure. But...she had to start immediately! The conversation with the ER Doctor really hit Terry. It hit her like a rock. No one had ever told her that she was "Fat" before. Family members would tell her to start eating right and exercising, but no one ever told her she was fat. At that moment....Terry knew she had to make a drastic change in her life. Terry went home and started throwing out all the boxed food and high carb items in her house. Terry began buying healthy low-carb fruit and vegetables. Terry ate more protein. Soon, Terry lost 10 pounds! Terry knew she needed help from her family and friends to support her on this journey. Terry turned to Face Book for the answer. Terry started a Face Book page titled, "New Body Under Construction The Low Carb Way." Terry started her journey and began telling her story on the Face Book page. Terry's friends and family began "cheering her on," and Terry had the support she needed to change her lifestyle. Soon, other friends began asking Terry if they could be part of the group, and the journey grew. Seven months later, the Face Book page has over 1,900 members! People have shared their "very low carb" way of life. People share stories, recipes and questions regarding being on an "Atkin's" program. Here's the link to Terry's Face Book page: New Body Under Construction The Low Carb Way Terry has currently lost over 116 pounds! She continues to eat, following the "Atkin's" way of eating. Atkin's is very low carb. Many people have had success being on the Atkin's eating plan. Many people don't do well on it. If you would like to research more information on the Atkin's plan, here is the website to research it: https://www.atkins.com/how-it-works   Everyone is different. Each individual has a different blood type. We each have unique DNA and genetic markers. Our metabolism's are different.  It is important to look at many different meal plans, to determine which plan will be the plan that you can do everyday for the rest of your life. This is a lifestyle Nation! You need to eat to live! Food fuels your body! You cannot be on some radical "diet," to lose weight and keep it off. It won't work. I promise you! I've been there done that! Weight Loss Nation is the ONLY place where many different meal plans and modalities are discussed. WLN wants you to succeed in your journey to a long-term healthy lifjestyle! I am on the REAL FOOD program! If it grows from the ground, from a tree; if it roams the earth....flies in the sky or swims in the ocean.....I can eat it! I stay away from boxed foods, white flour, white rice, white potatoes and white bread. They are all processed and many of the vitamins and nutrients are depleted. I eat low carb, but not excessive. I eat sweet potatoes. I eat Quinoa. I occasionally eat brown rice and I eat beans. I eat carbs in moderation. I'm working on portion size. Once in awhile.....I will have Pizza! or ....I'll have a few Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! And even less.... in fact only twice in the last 9 months I ate ice cream.  It's all about education, eating healthy, exercising and mindset!  Weight Loss Nation is here to assist you on YOUR journey! I want you to become a member of Weight Loss Nation and join me and other members on the journey to living a long-time healthy lifestyle. For the month of February, I have reduced the price of the Pro Plus Support Membership Program, since so many of you sent me emails telling me you want to become members but you couldn't afford the $39.99 a month premium. I listened to you and I'm delivering! From February 1st through February 28th, you can become a Pro Plus Support Member, for just  $20.17 a month (with a 12 month commitment). I want to help you succeed, and if that was your obstacle to becoming a member..... I removed that obstacle. Here's the link to get started today on Weight Loss Nation and eat REAL FOOD!
