Healthy Food vs Fast Food

Eating out every day can be a blessing in disguise – or it can be your worst nightmare. The choice is yours. Yes, you can easily eat out every day but common sense must prevail. First of all, where are you choosing to eat… is it in a cafeteria? Are you going out to eat nothing but fast food? Are you eating on the run and not actually sitting down to enjoy your food? Do you eat by yourself or do you have company? All these questions and more play a major role in how well you will gain, maintain or possibly even lose weight and still eat out every day.

With that in mind, let us address each topic for a better understanding.

All too easily you run into a snag – perhaps something was said or done at work, or something has happened at home, or anywhere for that matter – and it gets you upset, so upset that all your good intentions of staying on your weight loss regime simply takes a nose dive.

“Oh my! I really need to lose weight. I can’t believe that I look like this in the mirror! I think I will skip breakfast and just have a small salad for lunch. Hmmmm, I think I will have some soup for dinner and that’s all I will eat today. That should work out just fine. That will really help me lose this extra weight.” Now, just how many times have you said something like that to yourself?

Do You Consciously Eat Food?

Do You Eat in Front of the Television

Click Here For Audio Version

Do you remember what you ate last night? Are you guilty of eating and not even realizing that you have? How many times have you had a plate of food in front of you, looked down at the clean plate, and had no idea what you ate, or worse yet, didn’t even remember eating? Do you get up in the middle of the night to eat and have no recollection of ever doing that? Wow! Lots of questions to ponder, but so important to be aware of too. So, do you consciously eat food?

Eating is something to be totally savored and enjoyed. Taking the time to truly realize the food experience can be quite a unique treat – especially for some people. In today’s fast-paced world, it has now become the norm to “eat on the run” instead of sitting down at the table to consume that food. The car is littered with fast food wrappers and who knows what else.

pH Thermometer

When was the last time you felt this way… At lunch you had a few hot dogs complete with the trimmings. Perhaps you even had chili added as a topping. As you gobbled up those aromatic hot dogs, they tasted ever so good to you. However, when you returned to work, an hour later your stomach is grumbling and actually causing you to burp up your lunch… which by the way is not tasting nearly as good as it did when it went down the first time. So immediately you reach into your desk drawer and look for an antacid remedy. That ought to take care of your problem. But after chewing down the first tablet, and then the second, you still have no relief – so you say to yourself, if a little bit is good, then a few more should be even better, right? Then of course, you pop a couple more of the antacids hoping and praying for some much-needed relief. Eventually they do just that, but let’s take a look at what has happened to your natural digestive system along the way…

Weight Loss Dos and Dont's

Let us set the scene. You are watching your favorite program on the television and a commercial comes on. You see a gorgeous, well-proportioned woman claiming how easy it was for her to lose all her extra weight, getting her to look as fantastic as she does in this commercial. Of course you see her “before” picture, and right away you think how happy you would become if only YOU could look as good as she does. So you pay close attention to her story and to how she accomplished this seemingly impossible feat. You are amazed that she lost 50 pounds in only 6 weeks.

So right away, you think, “If she can do it, so can I.” You then proceed to write down the phone number or website of the product she is proclaiming has helped her accomplish this miracle. Now you visit the website and/or call the phone number and ask “How much?” After the initial shock wears off,

Is Your Weight Loss Parachute Open?

The Free-Fall Weight Loss Parachute of Skydivers

Do you constantly find that you make your weight loss efforts harder and more difficult than what they should be? Do you find that you thwart your efforts each and every time you turn around without knowing why? Well, you are not alone… in fact, many people do exactly the same thing without their awareness. Unfortunately, that syndrome is even more common than you might think.

In my hypnosis practice I have a sign visibly placed in every room in the office. It is a simple read, but it provokes a lot of thought. The sign has a picture of a colorful parachute and across the bottom it says: “Your Mind is Like a Parachute – It Only Works When it is Open“.

Have You Been on More Than One Diet?

Balance Each Meal

It seems as if every time you turn around, there is another diet fad sweeping the country. Just how many of those diets have you experimented with and tried? Did you really find the one that works for you? How long were you able to stay on that diet? Were you able to keep the weight off? If you have, then I will gladly say “Great Job!” Very few times is anyone able to work with a “fad” diet and lose the weight and most importantly keep it off!

You might ask yourself this… How safe is this “so-called diet”. Am I eating proper meals every day? Are they balanced? Am I getting enough food? How do I feel… Am I nervous because of what I am eating… or NOT eating? There are so many questions that can and should be asked. Do your homework! Never automatically trust anything blindly just because of an advertisement that you may have heard or seen somewhere. Chances are,

Lose Weight and Quit Smoking

Puff ~~ Puff ~~ Puff ~~ Wow! I really should quit smoking… Puff ~~ Puff. But if I quit smoking, I just know I’ll gain weight! Puff ~~ Puff. Well, maybe after I finish this pack – THEN I’ll quit.

Hmmmm, Is this scenario familiar to you? Have you ever had the urge and desire to quit smoking but hesitated because you were afraid to gain weight? Unfortunately, this is a very common excuse! On the other hand, many people tend to use smoking as a weight loss or weight maintenance measure.

Georgine was a very pretty woman. She had a couple of pounds to lose, but it wasn’t much – only about 10 or 15 pounds. However, Georgine was also a smoker. She “wanted” to stop smoking, but was terrified at the prospect of putting on weight. In fact, she was so adamant and
