Seven 'health' foods that aren't

As contributed by Susan Moores, RD (on MSNBC.com)

Some of you may be scratching your heads, wondering, "you mean, frozen yogurt isn't good for me?"  Well, no. That's why you should always read the label. To save you some time, here are seven items that you may think are good snacks, but might be better left on the store shelf.

Juice Plus+ is made by juicing 17 different fruits and vegetables into a vitamin supplement all in a capsule form. A cup of other vitamins and a tablespoon of apples and many other fruits, all for health. When you start with a juice from a fruit or vegetable, and then you add others, you get a healthy mix of nutrients with the water and sugars removed. But when you dry the mix, you are left with the nutrients and that is what goes into a Juice Plus+ Capsule. Juice Plus. The sugar and water are removed through a drying process that leaves you with all the healthy nutrients. Do you know the juices from which the fruit juice plus blend is made? Apples, oranges, pineapples, cranberries, peaches, cherries, and papaya juice - and that's just the fruit juices! Add the vegetables with carrots, parsley, beets, kale, broccoli, cabbage, spinach, and tomato and you've got the vegetable juice plus product, that is a healthy weight loss plan and diet plan that supports your health! It helps you get nutrients you need. When I have fresh fruits and vegetables, I feel good, but I don't always get enough. So the only one way to add more fruits and vegetables is to add more nutrition to your diet plan, weight loss plan, Dr Oz diet. With this supplement, the sugar and water are removed through a drying process that leaves you with the healthy nutrients you need! Try Juice Plus today! Like our Weight loss plan that is a doctor approved diet plan, this is a healthy choice. A diet and weight loss plan that is endorsed by healthy dieters around the world, you can always lose weight, but are you doing it the healthy way? Oprah's Dr. Mehmet Oz knows that a diet is temporary but a healthy lifestyle with a healthy diet plan in place is for good. Even Juice plus+ is made from the juice of oranges, apples, cherries, and several other fruits and vegetables, and that gives it a lot of nutrition when a cup of lemon is added. Add fountain water without some breville and juice fountain, although the nutrients from fruits and other juice is the convenient way to get added nutrition and is convenient even if you have a good eating plan. When I can't have those healthy and fresh products, I use juice plus vitamin, and juice nsa plus is a way to get healthy. If you are a distributor juice plus, then you can save some money on your products. The juice plus scam sites that we see does not hold much credence - the argument doesn't hold water, that is. But it is a problem as it misleads the public. Of course, anything good will always have its detractors. You may have read a juice plus review that is similar to acai juice plus. If you are interested in any product and you want to learn if there are any benefits, then look at the research. Breville fountain juice is not one of the things that is available, but a healthy weight loss plan can be found at the Julia Havey website for motivation, education, and inspiration. There is another common product by Breville -it's a fountain of juice products that have health benefits. If you have a complaint with those who make the product, then any distributor for nsa can help you. Noni plus is not something you want to try in place of juice plus. Every single ingredient in juice plus has fiber and can be found in the capsules. Don't get ebay jp+ because you can't be sure of the quality. You may use it to find a weight loss plan for healthy eating for you diet, but don't expect to get a quality product. If you look for the capsules or the pills - don't be confused it's not a weight loss diet plan that is going to provide you with the necessary steps to lose weight the healthy way. B sure to also consider the Thins, the Vineyard blend, and even the Gummy. There is dog juice plus and cat juice plus, too and we have found it healthy for our pets - their skin problem cleared up. Use juice plus for any pregnancy as a perfect alternative to most vitamins on the market. There is a juice plus study, actually many that validate the quality and effectiveness of the nutrition. Juice Plus+ is made by juicing 17 different fruits and vegetables, then with a cup of vitamins and a tablespoon of apples, you get a healthy start. When you start with a juice, and then you add another, you get a healthy combination. Juice plus is made with an orange, a lot of orange juice, that gives it a lot of nutrition when a cup of results and lemon is added. Also, there are many weight loss plans out there, but the one that most people agree is the best is a weight loss diet plan, Dr Oz diet approved diet plan. If you have used a plan endorsed by doctors such as Dr Oz, then you know it's a weight loss plan that is healthy, and if followed will lead to a permanent healthy and fit lifestyle! When I have fresh fruits and vegetables in my diet plan, I know I'm going to be healthy, but sometimes we just don't get enough. And one sure way to add more nutrition to your diet

Here's the list:

1. Granola Bars
2. Tea Drinks
3. Pretzels
4. Muffins
5. Rice Cakes
6. Fruit-Flavored Snacks
7. Frozen Yogurts

For the full description of each item and what to do if you want those items, read the full article...

Comments: The rule of thumb that you can live by to make it easy to remember is that if it's in a bag, a jar, a box, a can or a container... then question it and scrutinize the contents thoroughly. You don't see a label on an orange, apple, spinach, or the like. This is a general rule of thumb and it works. There are exceptions to the rule, but this is easy to follow. As soon as we start handling food and processing it to make it look, smell, and taste better, we compromise the quality of nutrients that were started with, and many times that quality that was started with wasn't that good to begin with. Start with fruits and vegetables and you're sure to get good nutrition. Once you get enough of those each day, then you can start improving even more by choosing organic.

Will Coca-Cola Stop Advertising on MSNBC?

This article appears on MSNBC.com which clearly states to "Skip all Soda" - a first step in The Vice Busting Diet plan due to the high amounts of sugar and therefore calories and the unhealthy nature of those beverages.

These are good points in this article, but you don't usually here this one on such a site because they would not want to offend their big money advertisers. This is why you never see a 'Skip all Fatty Fast Foods" because the biggest fast food restaurant in the would never allow it. Nonetheless, here is an excerpt of the article --

Skip all soda

If you're overweight and want a baby, get healthy

From Telegraph.co.uk ---

More than half of women who die after having a child are overweight, as the obesity epidemic drives up the death rate among new mothers, according to a report. Almost 300 women died after having children between 2003-05, according to new figures.

And about 40 per cent of the deaths were avoidable, the Confidential Inquiry into Maternal and Child Health (Cemach) report will say.The Cemach report criticises poor standards of care in maternity units, with healthcare workers unable to identify common complications or manage emergencies effectively, and junior staff being left in charge too often.

The report comes as campaigners warn that maternity services are in their worst state for 40 years. Where possible, obese women should be helped to lose weight prior to conception or any form of assisted reproduction," the report says.

Obesity is one of the biggest problems facing fertility doctors and obstetricians because of the difficulty that overweight women have in conceiving and, later, the increased risks they face during pregnancy. Read more...

Comments: While this report may not the motivation for overweight future mothers to get more fit and healthy because of the actual numbers and societal groups that seem to be responsible for these numbers, it does bring to light the complications that obesity, or too much weight, brings to so many situtations. If you had to have an emergency C-section, you can imagine the difficulty there. The health of the baby should certainly be of concern. Afterall, the extra weight is a factor of too many calories and most likely too many unhealthy ones. If you are trying to conceive, or you have children, you owe it to yourself and to them to start living a healthier lifestyle. A diet full of fruits and vegetables and lean protein sources should be where most of your calories come from. And making water the beverage of choice will provide one of the easiest-to-do positive health changes in your life.

Calorie-restricted diet could slow aging

This has been covered before, but this report repeats the evidence that CR, Calorie Restriction, will slow down the aging process. --

'Restricting your intake of calories may not only help people live longer, as well as losing weight, say the scientists behind a clinical trial.

Previous studies have reported that calorie-restricted diets could prolong the lives of rodents and other short-lived species, but, until now, no such human study has been undertaken to investigate the effects of such diets on markers of human aging.

The Comprehensive Assessment of the Long Term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy (CALERIE) study, published in the new issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (Vol. 295, pp. 1539-1548), followed 48 middle-aged, overweight, non-obese men and women eating one of four calorie-controlled diets for six months.

The participants (21 men, 27 women) were randomly assigned to eat one of four diets: control (weight maintenance diet); calorie restriction (calorie intake reduced by 25 per cent of normal); calorie restriction with exercise (calorie intake reduced by 12.5 per cent, energy expenditure increased by 12.5 per cent); very low-calorie diet (890 kilocalories per day until 15 per cent weight loss and then weight maintenance diet).

After six months, the control group had a measured weight loss of about 1 per cent. The three intervention groups, as expected, lost significantly more weight. Both the calorie restriction and calorie restriction with exercise groups lost about 10 per cent during the trial, while the low-calorie group lost on average 14 per cent, in keeping with the design study.

"Our results indicate that prolonged calorie restriction caused a reversal in two of three previously reported biomarkers of longevity (fasting insulin level and core body temperature)… and a reduction in DNA fragmentation, reflecting less DNA damage," wrote lead author Leonie Heilbronn from Louisiana State University.

"We are the first to report a significant decline in DNA damage following six months of calorie restriction in non-obese men and women," stressed Heilbronn.'

Comments: What a bonus that Calorie Restriction could be - you don't have to spend as much on food, you will look better, feel better, and age less! What more could you ask for? Try it for a week - reducing your calorie intake by 20% - and see how you feel.  Just replacing all drinks with water is usually enough for most people to do that, and you'll feel amazing.

Fruit, vegetable extracts could boost immunity

Here is the evidence about the importance of fruits and vegetables in your diet --- (from NutraIngredients.com) ---

Phytonutrients from fruit and vegetables, delivered as a dietary supplement, boosted the immune system of healthy adults, as well as protecting against DNA damage, says a new study from the US.

Many consumers are failing to meet the target of five portions of fruit and vegetables every day, with recent studies have shown that the average consumption of people in developed countries is three portions a day.

Indeed, it is estimated that 4.4 per cent of the overall disease burden in Europe is due to fruit and vegetable-poor diets (Public Health Nutrition, 2003, Vol. 6, pp. 453-461). And over 20 years' worth of epidemiological studies have linked diets high in fruit and vegetables to lower risks of cancer, metabolic syndrome and osteoporosis.

The new research, published in the October issue of the Journal of Nutrition (Vol. 136, pp. 2606-2610), suggests that adding a phytnonutrient-rich capsule to the diet may provide a convenient way of benefiting from the benefits, particularly for immune health.

"We hypothesized that a commercially available encapsulated fruit and vegetable juice powder concentrate (FVJC) could support functional indices of health due to increased intake of various phytonutrients," said lead author Meri Nantz from the University of Florida.

Comments: This research supports the recommendation from The Health & Wellness Institute to take a daily nutritional supplement to your diet that includes fruit and vegetable extracts.  There is a company that takes 7 fruits and 8 vegetables and uses the juice, dries it - removing the water and sugar, which is a big plus because it is put into a capsule for easy consumption. Look for more references that will support your decision to add (view the product banner on the right) this recommended product to your diet. You can't live (healthy) without fruits and vegetables and the nutrients from them...and you need a variety!

Obesity in America--it's a big-ass problem!

The world as we know it has gone crazy, it really has. A woman like Me Me Roth tells the truth; that Obesity is deadly and unnecessary and she is vilified.

We have 8 million people starving in one country and 8 million sitting around on big round fat butts in another. I get hundreds of emails a week from people desperate to lose weight yet they baulk at my suggestion that to lose the weight they need to do 5 simple things. Imagine that for a moment, being able to solve a problem that has plagued you (and your behind) for dozens of years simply by making 5 simple changes! Why wouldn't a person do that?  Why don't they do it? And why are we so Obese and Overweight when the way to solve it is so simple?

Juice Plus+ is made by juicing 17 different fruits and vegetables into a vitamin supplement all in a capsule form. A cup of other vitamins and a tablespoon of apples and many other fruits, all for health. When you start with a juice from a fruit or vegetable, and then you add others, you get a healthy mix of nutrients with the water and sugars removed. But when you dry the mix, you are left with the nutrients and that is what goes into a Juice Plus+ Capsule. Juice Plus. The sugar and water are removed through a drying process that leaves you with all the healthy nutrients. Do you know the juices from which the fruit juice plus blend is made?

When I have fresh fruits and vegetables in my diet plan, I know I'm going to be healthy, but sometimes we just don't get enough. And one sure way to add more nutrition to your diet

Why?

First off, because we don't want to work at the solution, we want it handed to us in an easy pill or a stomach stapling operation. One woman actually asked me this week if I thought having tape worms placed in her body would be a better option than "dangerous diet pills"? I think stopping eating the unhealthy food might be a bit more sensible and less likely to kill her than either of her two options!

And, because American's have been brainwashed into thinking that dieting (i.e. going on a "short term calorie restricted intake plan") is the answer that will permanently change them and they want to believe that because every diet you can name tells the dieter that they can "still have the foods they love but in moderation". They don't want to change what is causing them to be fat in the first place, they want to fat to go away but their habits to remain the same--unhealthy!

IF and that's a BIG if, we were remotely capable of handling the foods that we "love" in moderation we wouldn't be in the huge mess of a Obesity Pandemic that we now find ourselves stuck in. We wouldn't be spending/wasting $45 Billion dollars a year on diets pills, programs and potions designed to make us thinner yet only end up getting fatter. Our Government wouldn't be spending/wasting $100 billion a year trying to fight our fight only to end up with a big fat black eye of shame. We spend $145 BILLION dollars a year trying to get into our skinny jeans and the only thing we are succeeding getting into is our coffins prematurely at a staggering rate of 300,000 deaths a year directly related to Obesity and another 2.6 million people it contributed to their early deaths.

I think the time as come to ask ourselves honestly do you want to Big Mac or do you want to die early? I think the "do you want fries with that?" question should be banned from the face of the earth and the question of "do you want to be buried or cremated?" should replace it. Let the government mandate THAT if they want to do any good or see a return on their $100 billion dollar a year investment.

Rather than allowing McDonald's to voice their freedom of speech showing fit, healthy and trim people "Lovin' It!" I think the government should force McDonald's to show THIS

picture in their ads and then, do you think Ronald McDonald really has the balls to declare "I'm Lovin' it!" under the obese kids picture?

What if the governement forced Coca-Cola to put a warning label on the side of every can of their high-fructose corn syrup laced poison: "Warning, consumption of just ONE of these a day will put 15 pounds a year on your ass". Ok "bottom" or "thighs" Ok, maybe I don't have to be vulgar to get my point across but when you are fighting ads like this being extreme gets your attention:

  (nice Logo's on their's)

when the real "Coke Side of Life" drinkers bottom looks more like this:

(Notice the Fast food Soft drink next to her?)

I ask you, what's a person to do? Sit back and do nothing or shout the truth that the 3 biggest reasons or "vices" that are making Americans become increasingly out of control fat are Soft Drinks, Fast Food and TV. We eat like food we wouldn't give our dogs, we drink beverages that would kill our houseplants and we get less movement than our ancestors (who incidentally never had weight problems).

Bottom line: Coke use Up in 50 years:

 

As goes Coke consumption, there go with it our waist lines!

GOSH? That equals 72% eat fast food at least once a week; isn't it funny that is almost the exact same statistic (75%) as the number of OVERWEIGHT Americans? Hmmm?

This isn't rocket science but clearly Fast food and Soft drinks are to blame for Obesity and Overweight!

What are the 5 Simple solutions that WILL end Obesity? They are what I call Vice-Busting. You can learn more about it at www.ViceBustingDiet.com :

1. Avoid fattening, fried and unhealthy fast foods

2. Abstain from all sugar-laden beverages, including asparatame punch.

3. Get up off the couch and get some movement each day. Even as little as 5 minutes a day will increase your longevity! Wear a pedometer and know are you "busy" or "active" and get more active each day.

4. Take Phase 2 every time you eat ANY pasta, bread or potatoes. Learn more about it at www.phase2info.com basically your body will digest these staples of American life in a more controlled manner! Control your carbs before they control you!

5. Eat more fruits and vegetables! And as Dr. David L. Katz and Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld say "If you can't won't or don't eat 9-13 servings of raw fresh fruits and vegetables a day; take Juice Plus!

Diets are failing; United States is getting bigger; a lot bigger!

Loosen the belt buckle another notch: Obesity rates continued to climb in 31 states last year, and no state showed a decline.

Mississippi became the first state to crack the 30 percent barrier for adults considered to be obese. West Virginia and Alabama were just behind in big behinds.

Colorado continued its reign as the leanest state in the nation with an obesity rate projected at 17.6 percent.

This year’s report, for the first time, looked at rates of overweight children ages 10 to 17. The District of Columbia had the highest percentage — 22.8 percent. Utah had the lowest — 8.5 percent.

Health officials say the latest state rankings provide evidence that the nation has a public health crisis on its hands.

Generally, anyone with a body mass index greater than 30 is considered obese. The index is a ratio that takes into account height and weight. The overweight range is 25 to 29.9. Normal is 18.5 to 24.9. People with a large amount of lean muscle mass, such as athletes, can show a large body mass index  without having an unhealthy level of fat.

WHY are we getting bigger?

22 percent haven't exercised in last month
A lack of exercise is a huge factor in obesity rates. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found last year that more than 22 percent of Americans did not engage in any physical activity in the past month. The percentage is greater than 30 percent in four states: Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky and Tennessee.

38% break their diets daily while another 33% break their diets by the end of the week.                Break for what? Their "Vice Foods". 14 MILLION eDiets.com readers were surveyed and asked "do you you "diet vices"?" 85% said YES! 38% reported breaking their diets DAILY to indulge in them and 33% confessed to giving in each week. So, doesn't it make more sense to help the 71% of people who are failing at diets break their addiction to their vices rather than continuing to set them up for failure by having them attempt diets that we know they will only end up breaking?

The three biggest Diet Vices that are causing the Obesity Pandemic:

• Soft Drinks, Coke, Pepsi, or other sugar-laden drinks like Gatorade, Monster, Red Bull and yes Starbucks Frappacinos!
• Fast Food--McDonald's junk like Big Macs, Double Quarter Pounders, French Fries, Fried Chicken and yes, even sit-down restaurants huge portions of caloric foods can be a vice!
• TV viewing aka sedentary lifestyles!

The solution: Bust your vices before they bust YOU! The Vice Busting Diet is the only diet book to specifically address the biggest causes of Obesity and Overweight and the most realistic approach to solving the problem! www.ViceBustingDiet.com lose 50 pounds in 26-weeks!

Ten Keys to a Healthy Lifestyle

These key will enable you to become motivated and focused, and condition yourself to live a healthy and fit lifestyle. Notice that I did NOT say 'ways to diet'! These are ways to realizing a healthy lifestyle.

The first key to keep in mind is making sure you have a daily plan.  If you have your daily plan written down, with the details of all you want to get done today, including the snacks you will carry with you and your meals chosen for the day, you will be much more inclined to avoid the unhealthy foods and actions that may throw you off track.  If you can plan the activities, the errands, and all the tasks you will be doing each day from the time you get up 'til the time you go to bed, you will be keeping yourself busy on accomplishing what's on your daily planner, rather than spending time worrying about your weight or other things that may not be productive. This can be one of the most powerful steps to living a healthy lifestyle, because you'll be constantly looking at what you want to get done, rather than what you didn't do in the past.

So the only one way to add more fruits and vegetables is to add more nutrition to your diet plan, weight loss plan, Dr Oz diet. With this supplement, the sugar and water are removed through a drying process that leaves you with the healthy nutrients you need! Try Juice Plus today!

The second key is to have written goals.  These may be the dreams you have, the things you want to do in life that you may have forgotten about.   Many people have resigned to just living the same monotonous daily routine. Start by writing down your goals, no matter how outrageous they may seem, write it down.  You need goals and dreams that could take you a lifetime to accomplish.  Make sure they are meaningful so that when you read them and ponder their reality, you feel the motivation to get there.  When you can get to that point, you have reached significant goals and dreams for yourself!

Third.  Be sure your daily plan includes at least one action that moves you closer to your long-term goals.  If your daily actions only include those things you are now doing, then you keep getting what you have gotten.  It's time to broaden your horizons by moving outside of your current comfort zone and doing something new, something different.  By the end of the week, you should feel that you have moved a little closer to your dreams.  It may not seem like much in the beginning, but if you just focus on doing a little each day, in only 1 year, you will feel more and more compelled to seeing your dreams become a reality.  So be sure you are writing down and doing at least one task each day toward that reality.

Four.  Don't look back at where you've been, only where you want to go! This goes right in line with having a daily plan.  There's no time to look back at any tragedies, or mishaps, or unhappy times. only time to create new memories, new experiences, and happy times.  With your plan you are creating those things, and not leaving yourself time to ponder the "what ifs" of the past.  Ask yourself "How can I" instead...."How can I improve my  job".OR.." How can I be a better spouse?"..OR.."How can I reach my goals?"..OR how about.  "How can I improve world peace?"...OR even  "How can I help others be happy too!?"... Look to what contributions you can make for yourself and for others, today and tomorrow!  In this way, you will keep looking ahead.  Remember, no matter how tarnished your past, your future is spotless!

Five.  Leave excuses behind.  There are many reasons we have for not having what we want in life.  It's not hard to find someone who can talk about the "tough times" and how rough things are, or how difficult the boss is.  But guess what?  Everyone has hurdles to overcome, and these hurdles can be the excuses that hold you back, or the obstacle that you have to jump over that will make you stronger and more prepared for the next one.  This goes along with leaving the past behind you, where it will always stay.  Excuses are nothing more than seeing the difficulty ahead, instead of seeing beyond it to where you would rather be.  The hurdle has to be there in order for you to gain a sense of fulfillment for having overcome it to reach your goals!

The sixth key to a healthy lifestyle is to take full responsibility.  Really when it comes down to it, ultimately YOU are the only one who can make things happen for you.  That means YOU are the one who has to make the plan, YOU are the one who needs to perform the exercises each day, and YOU are the one who will overcome the hurdles to reach your goals.  Now many others and I can be cheerleaders and coaches to try to steer you in the right direction and cheer you on, but it is your game.  And if your not playing the game, you may just be in the stands watching others as they try to win at their goals.  If you find yourself always looking to others that have what you want, you may be living in the stands. Start taking responsibility by taking action toward achieving those things you want.

Seven. Be aware of people or things that can divert your focus from your goals.  Does this mean ignore others and the help they may need?  Certainly not.  But realize that very often someone may approach you or want you to do something that is not really in the best interest of your health and your goals.  Sometimes, when we say "no," we are really just saying yes to "sticking to" what's good and healthy.  You will not only be empowering yourself to make the right decision, but also letting others know that your focus on living a healthy lifestyle is in their  best interest too, and maybe it will rub off on them.  Say "no" to the so-called "water cooler" conversations at work that don't provide any productive outcome, just harm to those participating..OR "no" to the box of donuts that seem to show up at work in the morning, for what seems to be harmless socializing and eating with co-workers.  Ask yourself if it's taking your attention away from building a healthy lifestyle or making a contribution to such lifestyle.  Be like the race horses with blinders on that can only see ahead… and choose to only see what's healthy -  healthy for you, for your family, for the company you may work for.  It may seem like you are alienating yourself, and you are from what's not healthy.  It's not easy taking the high road, but you'll be much happier in the long run.

Number eight.  Decide where you would like to be 20 years from now.  Are you doing what you are doing now, only looking older?  Or can you see from the goals and dreams you have written, that you are carving out a new person, who has had many new experiences.  If you can visualize what your life will be in 20 years - where you will live, the places you will have visited, the people you have come to know, the knowledge that you have gained, the positive changes that you have made for yourself and others -  you will really begin to see the potential that the years ahead can bring.  Now I'm not suggesting that everything will be exactly as you may envision.  But it will give you a sense of what you truly are capable of, and what you can look forward to.  Both things that will motivate you to keep moving in the right direction!

Nine. Surround yourself with other positive people.  If you are in a support group for weight loss, that's good, so long as you're not around the people that only want to talk about how hard it is.  You want positive energy on your side, and the more you have and the more positive energy you give, the stronger you will be.  You see, being around someone who shares the same desire to live healthy does not increase the amount of good twofold, it increases it tenfold.  You will feed off of each other's similar goals and desires, and share things that have helped each of you.  My husband use to compete in triathlons-- where they swim a few hundred yards, then ride their bike several miles, then run a few miles.  Some people actually find this pleasurable! I asked him how he managed to complete such an event.  His response was "If it wasn't for all those other people pushing to get to the finish line, I may not have."  How true that is for us in our lives.  If we are around people that are pushing to reach their long-term goals, then we are more apt to reaching ours.  Find those people and stick with them!

Ten.  Learn to love exercise and all physical activities.  There are so many forms of exercise and physical activity and so many ways to enjoy them, that you should not have any reasons not to do so.  How many different places are there that you can enjoy taking a walk? - The park, a museum, downtown, window-shopping in a mall, in your neighborhood, and many more. How about the different types of exercise besides walking - riding a bike, playing tennis or racquetball, lifting weights, jogging, kick boxing, aerobics, yoga, jazzercising, dancing, gardening, cutting the grass, painting. If you have trouble exercising, try doing a stationary bike if you can.  It's the easiest piece of equipment to use that you can use.  The BEST is an elliptical machine, I use a PreCor machine and it is amazing! Try different activities and exercises and find what you can really enjoy. Remember, these are the things that you want to be doing for the rest of your life.

And the BONUS key to a healthy and fit lifestyle --  Don't ever stop believing that you are capable of more than what and who you are now!  Your potential is limitless.  With this attitude you will be able to constantly improve upon your health in some way. If your mind can perceive it, and you can truly believe it in your heart, then you can achieve whatever you set out to achieve.   Don't place limitations on yourself.  You'll never know until you try!  So get busy.

The first key to keep in mind is making sure you have a daily plan.  If you have your daily plan written down, with the details of all you want to get done today, including the snacks you will carry with you and your meals chosen for the day, you will be much more inclined to avoid the unhealthy foods and actions that may throw you off track.  If you can plan the activities, the errands, and all the tasks you will be doing each day from the time you get up 'til the time you go to bed, you will be keeping yourself busy on accomplishing what's on your daily planner, rather than spending time worrying about your weight or other things that may not be productive. This can be one of the most powerful steps to living a healthy lifestyle, because you'll be constantly looking at what you want to get done, rather than what you didn't do in the past.

The second key is to have written goals.  These may be the dreams you have, the things you want to do in life that you may have forgotten about.   Many people have resigned to just living the same monotonous daily routine. Start by writing down your goals, no matter how outrageous they may seem, write it down.  You need goals and dreams that could take you a lifetime to accomplish.  Make sure they are meaningful so that when you read them and ponder their reality, you feel the motivation to get there.  When you can get to that point, you have reached significant goals and dreams for yourself!

Third.  Be sure your daily plan includes at least one action that moves you closer to your long-term goals.  If your daily actions only include those things you are now doing, then you keep getting what you have gotten.  It's time to broaden your horizons by moving outside of your current comfort zone and doing something new, something different.  By the end of the week, you should feel that you have moved a little closer to your dreams.  It may not seem like much in the beginning, but if you just focus on doing a little each day, in only 1 year, you will feel more and more compelled to seeing your dreams become a reality.  So be sure you are writing down and doing at least one task each day toward that reality.

Four.  Don't look back at where you've been, only where you want to go! This goes right in line with having a daily plan.  There's no time to look back at any tragedies, or mishaps, or unhappy times. only time to create new memories, new experiences, and happy times.  With your plan you are creating those things, and not leaving yourself time to ponder the "what ifs" of the past.  Ask yourself "How can I" instead...."How can I improve my  job".OR.." How can I be a better spouse?"..OR.."How can I reach my goals?"..OR how about.  "How can I improve world peace?"...OR even  "How can I help others be happy too!?"... Look to what contributions you can make for yourself and for others, today and tomorrow!  In this way, you will keep looking ahead.  Remember, no matter how tarnished your past, your future is spotless!

Five.  Leave excuses behind.  There are many reasons we have for not having what we want in life.  It's not hard to find someone who can talk about the "tough times" and how rough things are, or how difficult the boss is.  But guess what?  Everyone has hurdles to overcome, and these hurdles can be the excuses that hold you back, or the obstacle that you have to jump over that will make you stronger and more prepared for the next one.  This goes along with leaving the past behind you, where it will always stay.  Excuses are nothing more than seeing the difficulty ahead, instead of seeing beyond it to where you would rather be.  The hurdle has to be there in order for you to gain a sense of fulfillment for having overcome it to reach your goals!

The sixth key to a healthy lifestyle is to take full responsibility.  Really when it comes down to it, ultimately YOU are the only one who can make things happen for you.  That means YOU are the one who has to make the plan, YOU are the one who needs to perform the exercises each day, and YOU are the one who will overcome the hurdles to reach your goals.  Now many others and I can be cheerleaders and coaches to try to steer you in the right direction and cheer you on, but it is your game.  And if your not playing the game, you may just be in the stands watching others as they try to win at their goals.  If you find yourself always looking to others that have what you want, you may be living in the stands. Start taking responsibility by taking action toward achieving those things you want.

Seven. Be aware of people or things that can divert your focus from your goals.  Does this mean ignore others and the help they may need?  Certainly not.  But realize that very often someone may approach you or want you to do something that is not really in the best interest of your health and your goals.  Sometimes, when we say "no," we are really just saying yes to "sticking to" what's good and healthy.  You will not only be empowering yourself to make the right decision, but also letting others know that your focus on living a healthy lifestyle is in their  best interest too, and maybe it will rub off on them.  Say "no" to the so-called "water cooler" conversations at work that don't provide any productive outcome, just harm to those participating..OR "no" to the box of donuts that seem to show up at work in the morning, for what seems to be harmless socializing and eating with co-workers.  Ask yourself if it's taking your attention away from building a healthy lifestyle or making a contribution to such lifestyle.  Be like the race horses with blinders on that can only see ahead… and choose to only see what's healthy -  healthy for you, for your family, for the company you may work for.  It may seem like you are alienating yourself, and you are from what's not healthy.  It's not easy taking the high road, but you'll be much happier in the long run.

Number eight.  Decide where you would like to be 20 years from now.  Are you doing what you are doing now, only looking older?  Or can you see from the goals and dreams you have written, that you are carving out a new person, who has had many new experiences.  If you can visualize what your life will be in 20 years - where you will live, the places you will have visited, the people you have come to know, the knowledge that you have gained, the positive changes that you have made for yourself and others -  you will really begin to see the potential that the years ahead can bring.  Now I'm not suggesting that everything will be exactly as you may envision.  But it will give you a sense of what you truly are capable of, and what you can look forward to.  Both things that will motivate you to keep moving in the right direction!

Nine. Surround yourself with other positive people.  If you are in a support group for weight loss, that's good, so long as you're not around the people that only want to talk about how hard it is.  You want positive energy on your side, and the more you have and the more positive energy you give, the stronger you will be.  You see, being around someone who shares the same desire to live healthy does not increase the amount of good twofold, it increases it tenfold.  You will feed off of each other's similar goals and desires, and share things that have helped each of you.  My husband use to compete in triathlons-- where they swim a few hundred yards, then ride their bike several miles, then run a few miles.  Some people actually find this pleasurable! I asked him how he managed to complete such an event.  His response was "If it wasn't for all those other people pushing to get to the finish line, I may not have."  How true that is for us in our lives.  If we are around people that are pushing to reach their long-term goals, then we are more apt to reaching ours.  Find those people and stick with them!

Ten.  Learn to love exercise and all physical activities.  There are so many forms of exercise and physical activity and so many ways to enjoy them, that you should not have any reasons not to do so.  How many different places are there that you can enjoy taking a walk? - The park, a museum, downtown, window-shopping in a mall, in your neighborhood, and many more. How about the different types of exercise besides walking - riding a bike, playing tennis or racquetball, lifting weights, jogging, kick boxing, aerobics, yoga, jazzercising, dancing, gardening, cutting the grass, painting. If you have trouble exercising, try doing a stationary bike if you can.  It's the easiest piece of equipment to use that you can use.  The BEST is an elliptical machine, I use a PreCor machine and it is amazing! Try different activities and exercises and find what you can really enjoy. Remember, these are the things that you want to be doing for the rest of your life.

And the BONUS key to a healthy and fit lifestyle --  Don't ever stop believing that you are capable of more than what and who you are now!  Your potential is limitless.  With this attitude you will be able to constantly improve upon your health in some way. If your mind can perceive it, and you can truly believe it in your heart, then you can achieve whatever you set out to achieve.   Don't place limitations on yourself.  You'll never know until you try!  So get busy.
