Are you a Life Long Dieter?

I'm amazed how people say weight loss is too expensive ( well let's be honest some programs really are)? But what is too expensive?

1- What are we comparing it to?
2- How much did you spend to get to this point? (I'm sure $1000's if not $10,000's worth of alcohol, fast food and junk food)
3- How's this program working for ya?

Did you know most commercial programs are set up so that your a life long client. You lose weight you gain it back & you go back to lose it again. This happens month after month and year after year! I've seen many on life long "diets"! Being on a life long diet is just as unhealthy as being over weight. Everytime you go on a diet you actually slow your metabolism by 10-15% and for the most part you are only losing water and muscle! That;s definately not good for your health. When you stop the diet not only do you slow your metabolism but more than 75% gain back the weight plus an additional 15-20% , and there you go back to do it again but now it's even harder to lose the weight! If you've been on 2 or more "diets" & are back looking at the "next" diet this proves to me that,

1-  What I'm telling you is correct
2- YOU have not failed but the diet has failed YOU!

Enter TLS Weight Loss Solutions. The last time you will ever have to look at getting rid of unwanted fat & pounds!!!

So what is TLS Weight Loss Solution? TLS is a scientific and comprehensive program that focuses on three major componenets.

1- Low Glycemic impact eating. Real foods from a grocery store or market for the every day busy person.
2- Behavior Modification. Actions dictate outcome. Change your ways to change your weight.
3- Body Composition it's not about the pounds it's about the inches. You have to get up and move to burn fat.

 All three are a MUST to be successful short and long term! Any program that says you don't have to exercise and you can eat the same foods your currently eating will lie to you about other things too!

If any of this made sense to you and you are sitting on the fence, let me HELP you! Let me Coach you to be the best YOU can be. If you want to lose 5-20 pounds great you may only have to tweak a few things. If you want to lose 25-50 pounds we have some work to do but it will be worth it. Even if you have to lose over 50 or 100 pounds I am still your best choice. I know, that I know, that I know, that if you are ready to commit to me I will commit 110% to you and GUARANTEE you reach what EVER goal you choose!

What do you have to lose?

Weight Loss and Alcohol, Do They Mix?


(Source Natural News) 
There are many factors that affect weight loss, making the process more complicated than it may seem. The body produces different hormones in response to different types of foods and/or drinks. Losing weight is not only about calorie consumption but also about the types of foods and drinks consumed. Alcohol is one of the worst culprits when it comes to inhibiting weight loss because it disrupts the delicate balance of nutrition, fluid and hormones needed to lose fat.


Alcohol boosts cortisol, a fat-creating hormone

Drinking heavily or even occasionally increases the body's release of cortisol - the hormone that breaks down muscle and retains fat. This loss of muscle can mean a huge slowdown in one's metabolism, making it easier to gain weight. In addition, alcohol causes a drop in testosterone in men, a hormone which helps burn fat.

Alcohol also blocks the body from burning fat. Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that fat metabolism can be reduced by as much as 73 percent after only two drinks of vodka and lemonade in a one-hour time period. In effect, alcohol shuts down the body's ability to access fat stores for energy. The body needs to be well-hydrated in order to build muscle and burn fat. Alcohol has the effect of dehydrating the body.


Drinking often accompanies irresponsible eating

Because drinking often puts one in a relaxed party mood, it is easier to indulge in snacks, potato chips and other unhealthy party foods -- the more one drinks the less one seems to care.

Alcohol is a powerful appetizer. An aperitif is often offered in restaurants to stimulate the appetite. Research has shown that there is a definite correlation between the amount of alcohol consumed before a meal and the amount of food eaten and that people eat more when they have beer or wine with their meal. Since alcohol causes the brain to release dopamine, the pleasure and addiction hormone, the result is an often addictive desire for more alcohol and food. This means one is hit with a double whammy when it comes to gaining weight: excess calories come from both the alcohol and the extra food that is usually consumed as a result of a stimulated appetite.




Alcohol is high in calories
 

 
Calories in Alcohol
Alcohol comes with very little nutritional value but is very high in calories. It is very easy to knock back a 200ml glass of wine but that is equivalent, in calories, to eating 25ml (5 teaspoons) of butter. Seldom do people stop at one glass of wine or one beer, and mixing alcohol with sugary mixers such as lemonade means even more calories as the drink now contains sugar and alcohol.

Simply put, alcohol consumption on a regular basis and weight loss don't mix.

Bottom line is that if you are looking to live a healthy lifestyle and lose weight alcohol consumption will be detrimental to your goals!

It is no one else’s fault!

It's been awhile since my last post, as I've been working on the Find Your Fit Challenge (giving away 75K) and it's been going so great!

I came across a great post from Natalie Jill and wanted to share with everyone! Once your accountable anything is possible! Hope you enjoy!!!!

What’s the BEST health advice you ever received?


I am frequently given this question during interviews and there is never any hesitation in my answer. My answer is not a workout or a diet tip that someone has given me. It is never something that I have just learned or just heard. It never comes from a “guru” and it isn’t ever something I have just read in a status on Facebook or Twitter. It is something that dates back to my childhood and has stuck with me throughout my 41 years.
My answer to the question “what’s the BEST health advice you ever received” is an answer that could also be applied in relation to business, relationships, finances, etc… and this is something I work to teach my daughter daily.

 

My answer is always that: “It is no one else’s fault!”

Not sure who the FIRST person was that said this to me. Maybe it was my nursery school teacher, maybe it was my dad but it stuck throughout my life and has become my mantra.
When you accept that it is NO ONE ELSE’S FAULT you accept accountability, start looking for solutions and start accomplishing EVERYTHING you want to achieve.
Everyone has challenges. Everyone has someone else they can “blame” or an “excuse”. Some may have it harder than others. IT may be more difficult, more complicated, more challenging whatever. It also may take longer, require more work, etc… but there is a formula for EVERYONE if you want it bad enough and are ready to truly be accountable.
When you start putting “It is no one else’s fault” into play you eliminate blame, you leave no reason for anger, and you OWN IT! With accountability comes passion and with passion lives change!
Ready to STOP the blame game and become ACCOUNTABLE? Start HERE.
Excuses or Solutions…YOU decide!!!" - Natalie Jill
