Health & Diet Tip:

Don't Cheat But Treat!

I'm sure you have heard the saying "Big surprises come in small packages," but have you ever heard the saying "Even bigger surprises come in bigger packages?" Well, while not true in all cases, it will usually hold true for eating while you are dieting.

A treat is just that, a treat. Therefore you should treat it, as a treat…am I confusing you? Hold on. A treat is great as long as it's planned. That's the key word friend. If it's planned smartly, then it's not cheating, but treating. Cheating is where it is not planned. If hunger gets the best of you for example, or someone offers you something sweet to eat and you just don't have the tact or will to refuse it. Cheating is also characterized by a feeling of guilt afterwards.

Are there any reasons for treating? You bet! The first reason being it keeps you from uncontrolled bingeing. If you go too long without the real foods you like, no matter how strong your will power is you will eventually break. And that's not the best thing for your head.

Second, it helps to keep your metabolism up. Let me explain. If you keep eating the same amount of restricted calories day in and day out your body will become used to it therefore regulating itself. But if you introduce a higher amount of calories, say once a week, your body will then be given a higher number to work with and the end result will be an increased metabolic rate. The body will think, "Whoa, what's going on here! I better shape up!"

How do you regulate this? Just pick one day in seven like a Saturday and just eat normal foods while not counting calories. Also, throw in some junk foods for good measure. As mentioned above this will cure those cravings! Thirdly, this is great if you know you have to go to a social or something like a wedding where food will constantly be around you. You won't have to worry for that day and you also won't have to worry about blowing your diet.

Many times people get discouraged because they feel 'forced' to cheat because of the pressure and they also don't want to come across as rude. This is true, a lot of people don't understand what you're going through but this little tidbit of information will fix the problem.

Once a person gets stuck in this rut it is very hard for some to get out. They often think that because they let this happen that they will never achieve their goals. Well, this isn't the case! They also feel depressed because they feel they have lost their direction and they have to start over. "Well, back to the old drawing board!"

But! If you know something like your treat day is logically planned and has scientific backing to it you will not feel guilty but good! You will also feel good knowing that you didn't cheat and that you deserve it! And once you start losing the weight, people might wonder how you do it!

With a bit of common sense you can work with this idea. If your junk day is on Friday for example and you have that party on Saturday just improvise! Switch your days and be flexible. Remember that with fitness, nothing is written in stone.

Key points :-
- Using these techniques you can be flexible and guilt free
- Treats are planned while cheating is not
- Treating keeps you from uncontrolled bingeing and will cure
- Treating helps to increase your metabolism therefore burning
With treating you never have to worry about being forced into unwanted cheating

Motivational Quote:

"To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable."
- Oscar Wilde

"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. "
- Antoine de St. Exupery

"I just finished doing fifty push-ups.
(Of course, I started them in 1980)"

Healthy Recipe

Colds and Flu Tea

1 oz Blackberry leaves
1 oz Elder flowers
1 oz Linden flowers
1 oz Peppermint leaves

Pour 1 cup boiling water over 2 tbs mixture.
Cover & steep 10 minutes; strain.

Colds and Hoarseness Tea

2 oz Malva flowers
1 ½ oz Mullein flowers

Use 2 tbs of mixture per 1 cup hot water. Steep 10 minutes; strain.
Drink only 2 - 3 cups per day for just a few days.

Winter Tea

Boneset
Echinacea
Peppermint

Just use equal parts of each, or pre-made tea bags...3 bags, 1 of boneset,1 of echinacea, and 1 of peppermint.

The echinacea works as an immune system builder, the boneset is great for congestion, aches and fever (the classic flu symptoms), and the peppermint aids with any stomach complaints due to drainage from the sinuses, and just works as a great overall "feel-good".

Coughing Fits Tea

1 1/3 oz. St. John's Wort
2/3 oz. Thyme
2/3 oz. Linden Flowers

Use 1 tsp. of the herb mixture per cup of boiling water to soothe irritations of the upper respiratory tract that cause coughing.
Steep for 5-10 min., strain, sweeten if necessary. This tea has proved helpful with bronchitis and whooping cough.

Natural Beauty recipe

Cinnamon Soap

Melt a bar of unscented glycerin soap and add 10 drops cinnamon essential oil (and a drop of red food coloring if you wish) and pour it into a mold.

They are similar to toxic waste and irritate the skin terribly.

Depression Soap

2 ga Whole sweet milk
6 qt Water
1 Can lye
Pour milk into crock jar or enamel pan. Mix lye in water, stirring with wooden spoon until disolved. Then without stirring, pour lye water into milk, pouring round and round, then pour the mixture from one container to another until well mixed.
Pour into cardboard box and cover with cloth. Let stand until firm 12-24 hours. When firm, cut into bars. Let set 2-3 weeks before using.

Herbal Soap

1 lg Block olive or veg soap
25 g Loosely chopped herbs
3 dr Essential oil - thyme, rosemary, horse chestnut
1 tb Oatmeal, finely ground
Grate the soap into basin and add the remaining ingredients.
Heat gently in a bain-marie until it melts and mix well.
Line an egg box with waxed paper and pour the soap into each section

Featured Product - “Formula 3 - New and Improved Cell Activator”

Advanced Micronutrition with Botanical Factors - Fuel your cells for peak performance.

Every activity you do-from breathing to dancing to thinking-depends on a constant supply of energy at the cellular level. To ensure you have energy in a readily available form, the cells of your body contain their own tiny powerhouses called mitochondria.

Through a series of biochemical processes known as the Krebs Cycle, the mitochondria create energy stores in the form of ATP. Your body then withdraws energy from the ATP stores day and night as needed.

For the Krebs Cycle to function optimally, your body needs a regular supply of essential nutrients and specific factors known as Krebs Cycle intermediates.

Many people, because of a poor diet, poor digestion or high levels of stress, fail to supply their cells with enough of these essential nutrients. As a result, their energy production slows and symptoms such as fatigue and immune dysfunction can occur.

New and improved Cell Activator® is specifically designed to supply the essential nutrients your cells need to optimize energy production.* It includes more potassium magnesium aspartate than the original formula, as well as several new concentrated herbal extracts.

By taking improved Cell Activator® throughout the day, you can help ensure your cells energy stores stay full and maximize your use of essential nutrients.* As a result, you'll have the energy you need to feel great and function at your best.*

• Mineral energizer: Potassium magnesium aspartate supports the Krebs Cycle and helps increase cellular energy and nutrient transport.*
• Power cycle: Krebs Cycle intermediates help the cells generate ATP to provide the energy your body needs.*
• Hot pepper: Cayenne contains capsaicin, which helps increase the body's basal metabolic rate.*
• ATP support: Cordyceps helps increase ATP production and supports stamina and endurance.*
• Stress relief: Reishi mushroom has adaptogenic properties-enhancing the body's ability to cope with stress.*
• Arctic root (Rhodiola): Promotes stamina by balancing adrenal activity and may help support a more positive mood.*

Summary of Benefits:

• Contains micronutrients that are vital to the Krebs Cycle.
• Helps the body produce and maintain a steady supply of energy.*
• Enhances overall vitality and well-being.*
• Contains herbal factors that enhance energy production and support stamina.*

Editor’s notes & Humour:

In the beginning there was the diet...

In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, with green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

Then using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Ice Cream and Magnums.

And Satan said "You want hot fudge with that? And Man said "Yes!" And Woman said "I'll have one too with chocolate chips". And lo, they gained 10 pounds.

And God created the healthy yoghurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair.

And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar from the cane and combined them.

And Woman went from size 12 to size 14.

So God said "Try my fresh green salad".

And Satan presented Blue Cheese dressing and garlic croutons on the side.

And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.

God then said "I have sent you healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them".

And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns, butter-dipped lobster chunks and chicken fried steak, so big it needed its own platter.

And Man's cholesterol went through the roof.

Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with potassium and good nutrition.

Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin and sliced the starchy centre into chips and deep fried them in animal fats adding copious quantities of salt.

And Man put on more pounds.

God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children might lose those extra pounds.

And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels.

And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging suits.

Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite.

And Satan created McDonalds and the 99p double cheeseburger.

Then Satan said "You want fries with that?" and Man replied "Yes, And super size 'em".

And Satan said "It is good." And Man and Woman went into cardiac = arrest.

God sighed ......... and created quadruple by-pass surgery.

And then Satan chuckled and created the National Health Service.

THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION

After an exhaustive review of the research literature, here's the final word on nutrition and health.:

1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer = fewer heart attacks than us.

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Now that I'm older, here's what I've discovered:

I. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

2. My wild oats have turned into prunes and All Bran.

3. I finally got my head together; now my body is falling apart.

4. Funny, I don't remember being absent minded...

4. Funny, I don't remember being absent minded...

5. All reports are in; life is now officially unfair.

6. If all is not lost, where is it?

7. It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser.

8. Some days you're the dog; some days you're the hydrant.

9. I wish the buck stopped here; I sure could use a few.

10. Kids in the back seat cause accidents.

11. Accidents in the back seat cause kids.

12. It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere.

13. The only time the world beats a path to your door is when you're in the bathroom.

14. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would have put them on my knees.

15. When I'm finally holding all the cards, why does everyone decide to play chess?

16. It's not hard to meet expenses... they're everywhere.

17. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the length and depth.

18. These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter. I go somewhere to get something and then wonder what I'm here after.

19. I CAN'T REMEMBER IF I HAVE MAILED THIS TO YOU OR NOT!

20. Funny, I don't remember being absent minded...

Within 90 days... No more drugs for Muscle Spasm or Panic Attacks... Skin improved magically... Sinus problems disappeared... Energy increased dramatically... and as a bonus I lost 6.5kgs (14lbs) in 28 days... all helping to give me back control of my life.
