WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT? Clear up any cheating, lying, broken promises… ‪#‎WeightLoss‬ ‪#‎SelfHelp‬ ‪#‎Movivation ‬‪#‎Secret‬

By

IntegrityOprahRedCoatthumbsupGirl! If you want to transform your life – healthy eating (what you eat and how you eat), get fit and release those pounds… you need to be able to trust yourself AND know that you’re worth it. And that’s not going to happen unless you do a SPRING CLEAN OF YOUR INTEGRITY!

What do I mean by that?

1) PROMISES TO OTHERS
Have you told someone you were going to do something and then just plain not done it? AND then, to make matters worse, just not ever discussed it?
Then this is something to clear up. Just go to them, acknowledge that you didn’t do what you said you were going to do. Then either re-commit to do the agreed task OR tell them point blank that you’re sorry for misleading them but you really have no intention of doing the thing you promised.
Either way you’ve cleared it up and that ‘promised thing’ is not there lingering in the background informing your perception of who you are around promises.

2) PROMISES TO YOURSELF
Girl, now you know these are the ones you’ve broken the most.
Here are just a few examples to get you thinking… How many times have you promised that this week, this month, this year you were going to start something for yourself but you didn’t follow through?
– Get more sleep [LIFESTYLISTA: my number one vice!]
– Truly sort out and clean up my room / wardrobe / desk / garage you name it.
– Start to eat more healthily and lose weight
– Get fit – start exercising or start doing better quality exercise
– Spend more quality time with the people you love
– Spend more time with people who nurture you and less time with people who don’t
– Internet dating (if you’re single) or date nights (if you’re not)
– Take up that hobby you’ve been dreaming of
– Get a makeover, refresh your look
– Get a few pieces of clothing you LOVE

and the list goes on!

Sometimes it’s hard to keep a promise to yourself because there’s no real accountability, no one’s chasing you! BUT every time you break a committment to yourself, every time you don’t do what you said you do, you start to trust yourself less and you stop believing that transformation is possible (“Who am I fooling?”, “I can’t really do that”, “I always give up”, “I know I’ll never follow through” etc.)

How can you trust yourself when you say you’re going to change your life???
Well start today! Make a small promise to yourself AND SHARE IT WITH YOUR LIFESTYLISTA FAMILY! Do something today just for yourself – and make sure you keep your promise. WHEN YOU’VE FOLLOWED THROUGH LET US KNOW, POST ON THE FACEBOOK WALL www.facebook.com/Lifestylista AND SHARE IT WITH THE COMMUNITY (OR SEND ME A MESSAGE IF YOU’RE FEELING SHY)!
My sista, I love you and you are worth it.
I’m here rooting for you.
love

A SECRET TO LOSING WEIGHT (36 LBS PER YEAR)… FIDGET! #MayoClinic #Study

By

thinvsfatSeriously, you know how they told us when we were kids to “sit still and not fidget so much…” Well, according to scientists at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, that’s exactly the opposite of what we need to do if we want to be slimbos!

The small but important study took 10 ‘obese people’ and 10 ‘slim people’ and put them in top and bottom underwear that used sensors to measure their movements and posture (whether they were sitting, standing or laying down). What they found was that the slim people fidgeted considerably more than their plump counterparts as they went about their day.

Scientists also discovered that the overweight study participants were actually sitting down for an average of 150 minutes more in the day AND they burned 350 fewer calories. This is even though they were all in the same laboratory conditions…
***350 calories a day = 36.5 pounds in a year! A heck of a difference…***

Dr Jim Levine, the lead researcher, designed the study to work out the role of calories burned during daily living (or NEAT – Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis, all the things we do that don’t involve deliberate ‘exercise’, eating or sleeping).

“A person can expend calories either by going to the gym, or through everyday activities. Our study shows that the calories that people burn in their everyday activities are far, far more important in obesity than we previously imagined,” says Dr Levine.

So all that fidgeting that you used to do as a kid – shaking your arms, kicking out your feet, tapping that pencil, nodding your head to imaginary music, pacing… Now, just go for it! And if you aren’t a natural fidgeter… Become one! It,’s a small adjustment that can make a load of difference. 🙂
I’m here rooting for you.

Sitting for hours makes you fat & ill EVEN IF YOU EXERCISE!!!

By

obese-womenYou should sit for this one. Or maybe not… IT’S ABOUT YOUR BELLY FAT and more… A significant new study of 4,500 Americans (published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine) found that sitting for long periods will KICK YOUR BUTT in the weight department, even if you eat a good diet and exercise at other times in the day. AND this study adjusted for factors such as levels of daily activity, gender, race etc.

Sitting for just 4 hours per day INCREASES THE SIZE OF YOUR WAIST (BELLY FAT!) and makes you noticeably heavier… Even if you’re someone who gets your exercise in when you’re not working!

“BUT I’ve got to work!” I hear you scream…
Yes, but here’s one thing you can do:
Tomorrow at work, if you sit at a desk for hours on end normally… Take a “HELL NO I AIN’T GONNA SIT MYSELF TO DEATH” break every hour. Just try it. Stand at your desk and do your work. Pretend to be going to make yourself a cup of tea – walk around, move your bones. Get a glass of water. Your life, your health, your FINE BOOTY depends on it. Take breaks when you’re working – set an alarm on your phone so you take 2 – 5 min breaks every hour.

Other things you can do to get your rump up (not sitting!)
1) Do secret desk exercises e.g. leg weights – put your heavy handbag on your feet and lift! Do sets of 10 – 20 repetitions. Or use two full water bottles as dumbbells and do bicep curls or work your triceps. It may look a little odd but…
2) Sit on a stability ball instead of a chair – you’ll be strengthening your abs, your lower back and burning more calories each hour just trying to sit on that thing!
3) Get a sit / stand desk if you can
OR just stand at your regular desk, tilt your computer screen up
4) When you get home, don’t just slouch on the couch. Put your sneakers on instead and DANCE, GO FOR A WALK, DO JUMPING JACKS… You know what to do. Get the blood pumping or you’ll be like the poor people in the study who were SITTING THEMSELVES TO DEATH… Well, I’m being a bit dramatic here but, without realizing it, every single day they were increasing their risk of getting diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and becoming unhealthily overweight.
I’m here rooting for you!

Why you can't have just 1 French fry! HIGH FAT FOODS = #WEED, #Cannabis #Appetite

By


HIGH FAT FOODS = WEED, Cannabis, Marijuana, Ganja in our bodies...  Ever wondered why (processed) fatty foods can be so addictive and hard to say no to?! Why you can’t just have one piece of fried chicken or just one French fry…?

— According to researchers at University of California, Irvine, these processed fats cause a reaction in the body that makes these foods almost irresistible!

— When rats eat a high fat diet, cells in their intestines produce endocannabinoids — similar to THC the particle in cannabis that gives users their high.

— Endocannabinoids tell your brain when it’s time to eat and when they are active whether you’re a lab rat or a human being you will have a raging appetite… Otherwise known as the munchies!

—Fats are essential for the proper functioning of the human body and they are relatively hard to come by in nature so it’s not surprising that (from an evolutionary point of view) we humans are built to crave fats!

— This evolutionary failsafe is totally unnecessary, of course, in the modern world because today fats of all sorts are extremely available and this addiction to fatty foods leads to weight gain, hypertension and diabetes, just to name a few.

— So the next time you crave that fatty culinary delight just remember that the high you feel is not imaginary!

WITH THIS RING I THEE FATTEN! A happy marriage makes you fat…

By

PeterandKaraCharlesTrenetWITH THIS RING I THEE FATTEN! A happy marriage makes you fat… VOTE ‘YES’ or ‘NO’ BELOW. Scientists from SMU University tracked 169 newlyweds over a period of 4 years. The researchers monitored (1) the couple’s satisfaction with the marriage and (2) their weight over time. They discovered that THE HAPPIER A COUPLE IS, THE MORE WEIGHT THEY GAIN.

Dr Andrea Meltzer, lead researcher, suggested that this was because: “On average, spouses who were more satisfied with their marriage were less likely to consider leaving their marriage, and they gained more weight. In contrast, couples who were less satisfied in their relationship tended to gain less weight over time.”

And it’s not just married couples either. A study conducted at the University of North Carolina showed that unmarried people who live together gain weight more than single people.

Researchers suggested this was because couples tend to eat together, eating larger meals and sitting on the sofa watching TV rather than exercising. Their study found that couples who live together for more than two years tend to exercise a similar amount and to be similarly overweight.

The lead researcher said, “Maybe this a good time to intervene with these young couples and get them to have a more positive effect on each other. Couples can use that phenomenon to their advantage if they’re aware of what’s going on. They can be good influences on each other. That may be how they can avoid the extra pounds now associated with marriage.”

What do you think of these studies? Do you agree with the findings? At first when I found these studies I was like “Whaaaaat??!” but I have to admit… I gained a whole load of weight after I got married too (so did my husband). And what was wonderful is that I got to see that this man loves me fatter or thinner, in sickness / no energy and in health.

You have asked, and I am answering. In mid Sept, I’m going to launch a course to help you to reclaim your health and to lose the weight and keep it off. Stay tuned! I will keep you posted 🙂
In the meantime, remember, you don’t need to lose weight to get fabulous… You are fabulous right now. Loving yourself right now actually helps you to lose the weight. Trust me on that one.

I’m here rooting for you!

love,
