Eggs are probably one of the most misunderstood foods around. Everyone and their brother has an opinion about eggs. Too much fat, one might say… bad for your cholesterol, someone else might offer. And then there is the question about how many eggs a week are “safe” for you to eat? Rubbish, Rubbish, Rubbish!
[For the record, the cholesterol in the eggs will NOT contribute to any increase in the cholesterol in your body. That is a different matter altogether!]
So few people are aware that eggs are probably one of the most complete foods in the world. Actually the protein and the fats in the egg complement each other to make it a whole food. Yes, that’s right… that Incredible, Edible Egg.
Eggs are truly one of nature’s “miracle foods” with each large egg sporting only 70 calories. Eggs are all-natural and jam-packed with so many nutrients. One egg has 13 essential vitamins and minerals ~ including Vitamin D, loads of the B vitamins, Vitamin E as well as Omega 3 fatty acids. Eggs also offer plenty of high-quality protein, unsaturated fats and antioxidants. WHEW! Is that enough good stuff for you all wrapped up in one small package?
Do yourself a favor and enjoy a hard-boiled egg or two when you are in the mood for a snack. Not only will it supply you with a great healthy snack, the protein and fat will allow you to feel satisfied and will “stay with you” much longer than any carbohydrate ever will. Then when it comes time for your actual meal, you won’t feel ravenous, actually eating only what you want instead of everything in sight. Sounds to me like a good start to keeping your weight loss moving in the right direction!

Is it something added to your food to enhance the taste, to make it look good and oh so enticing… to completely change the flavor with a chemical aftertaste, or even worse, no strange aftertaste at all? Just what is a food additive?

In my hypnosis practice I am frequently asked
“How Often Should I Weigh Myself?” If you ask 10 people, you are liable to get 10 different answers. Let me ask, do you weigh yourself every day? More than once a day?
My big question to you is WHY???
Are you aware that each time that you weigh yourself you will most likely NOT get the same answer. As you are trying to track your weight, wouldn’t that be a very confusing thing to deal with? What does that do to your confidence knowing that

It is very easy to get hung up in the “need” to see how well you are doing by weighing yourself every day or even more than once a day. The truth is, once a week is all you truly need to step on the scale. Of course recording your weight is a great way to see how well you are progressing, but limit your actual stepping on the scale to once a week.
Be consistent when you do weight yourself… same time, after you have gone to the bathroom, and totally naked. The results will be much more accurate and effective and you are less likely to “beat yourself up” because a daily weigh can easily fluctuate upwards of 5 pounds or more.

If you are like most people, you simply do NOT drink enough water during the day. Now the average person will drink liquids, but that is typically in the form of coffee, or soda or even some diet drinks… but that is not water!
Water is critical for your body to function properly. In fact, it is said that each person should consume their weight in ounces divided by 2, on a daily basis! In other words, if you weigh 150 pounds, you should be drinking 75 ounces… or 6.25 glasses of water (12 ounces glasses) each and every day!
If you spread that amount of water out over the day, it will be extremely easy to consume just what you need. A very good way is to
