Alicia, Getting Healthy for the New Year

For the new year, I started to pick healthier choices for food! Lots of celery, apples and Quest Bars for snacks instead of chips or candy... I know I own a nutrition store it doesn't mean I always eat clean. I am not eating as clean as my best friend, Megan Newland but I just want to eat healthier, not preparing for a competition! So any ways I have lost 3 pounds already, which I know you are thinking from where, but my mid section is a little more chunky than i like, you are starting to see abs again, and the back of my legs-where every woman seems to store it! I do not like that fat under your but! I love the core 3 kit, but as a store owner you have to try new products so that you know what works and you can bring it in, right, right! So I finally got this weight loss kit in that I have been wanting to try for a while now, no you are not getting names until I decide my opinion. It is a 3 step process like the core 3. It has a breakfast pill, a afternoon pill and a sleep pill. The sleep pill has some great combinations and for sure could sell it by itself with what is in it! Not sure I can try the sleep pill with my medications, so I will have to look into that. Will may have to try the sleep pill. But so far this kit is impressive, it has a meal plan and really easy directions inside the box! I start tomorrow on this kit! I have recorded my weight and when I started so I can keep track. I also should take measurements, just simple ones so I can see inches, you do not always see pounds. I suggest this to you too if you are starting a new plan. Yesterday, I talked to a man that was not losing weight I asked about what he eats, he said, "why aren't the pills supposed to fix that". No, weight loss pills aid you in weight loss not allow you to eat whatever and still drop pounds! We also have been getting away from processed foods, such as canned vegetables. I read labels and know that I have been getting Corn and only corn and no added salts, but still its just not the same as corn on the cobb. So last grocery trip I went to super one, they have the best fruits and veggies without the cost, and went around the outside of the grocery store; fruits, veggies, meats and dairy. I realized the other day when I opened a can of beans that I should change that to fresh too! Less cans more fresh! Its harder though to do that because then you have to eat it, it can not sit in the fridge. Well that was the point to eat more veggies and fruits so it helps in the long run! This has become long, so I will post in a few days to let you know how it is going! Alicia

Sleep plays a key role in weight loss

Weight loss and maintenance not just calories and exercise; sleep plays key role Canadian Press 09-18-12 TORONTO - Cutting calories and increasing physical activity aren't the only factors when it comes to losing weight and keeping it off. Scientific studies are increasingly pointing to the role sleep -- or the lack of it -- plays in maintaining a healthy body weight. A new commentary in the Canadian Medical Association Journal suggests inadequate sleep influences body weight in at least a couple of ways. The article notes that people who don't get enough sleep tend to eat more at night, which undermines efforts to control one's weight or to diet. As well, fatigue affects levels of key hormones that help the body regulate hunger. The authors suggest people should be mindful of their sleep patterns and their potential to influence efforts to lose weight or to maintain a healthy weight. "We know that short sleepers in general feel more hungry. And when we restrict calories in the diet of short sleepers, we know that if we already feel more hungry and you cut calories, hunger plus hunger means very hungry," says Jean-Philippe Chaput, one of the authors of the commentary. Chaput is a specialist in preventive medicine, working on obesity in children at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, in Ottawa. "If they want to lose weight, of course at some point they will need to cut some calories," he says. "But if they don't take into account their sleeping patterns, they might fail. They have more chances to fail over the long term." Still, the situation isn't as simple as saying everyone with a weight problem ought to sleep more, Chaput says. "We know that obesity is very complex. It isn't one-size-fits-all," he says. "People gain weight for different reasons. It's not always an increase in food intake. It can be stress. It can be depression. Genes. Different factors." The Canadian Press, 2012

This One Skill Will Help You Reach Your Weight Loss Goals.

Webster defines focus like this: "to concentrate, as to focus one's attention. As a camera lens has to be focused so the image is clear, you need focus so the image of the goals you have is clear.

Competitions are what keep Alicia here at PureBody Nutrition focused. Knowing you will be on stage being judged on your body makes that focus a little clearer on the ultimate goal of looking the best on stage.

A few steps to reach your goal:
1. Make sure the goals are clearly set in your mind.
2. Have a weekly, monthly and long term health goal.
3. If you miss a goal then readjust it. Many set goals extremely too high.
4. Have realistic goals.

How To Make Apple Cinnamon Whey Protein Bars

Ingredients:
Dry:
2 cups of Core Whey Active Vanilla Click here to buy the best tasting Protein (Whey Active Vanilla) or call us at 903-939-9232 for even better deals.

1 & 1/2 cups of oatmeal - grind it down to powder (should be about 1 cup once it is done)
Cinnamon and Splenda (or other no calorie sweetener) to taste *I used 2/3 cup Splenda
Wet:
1 & 1/3 cups of natural, unsweetened apple sauce
2/3 cup of almond (or soy) milk
1/3 cup of egg whites

Directions
Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl
Slowly add wet ingredients until all is combined and you have a nice cake-like batter
Coat a cake or bread pan with cooking spray or cover with tin foil
Pour batter and bake @ 275 until the center is cooked to the desired firmness

*Because the only eggs in this batter are egg whites you don’t have to worry about undercooking and getting sick (only egg yolks bring a fear of Salmonella poisoning) if you want your bars more chewy don’t cook for very long.

Depending also on the size of your pan the bars will be thinker or thinner. Mine took about 20 minutes but just keep an eye on them
