WeightLoss

Don't know where to start? Here are a few ideas. Pick one, make it happen and let it become a habit, then add a new one.
1. Do a cleanse- this will help your liver be better able to break down the fat you are trying to lose. Many times I hear people say they lost weight while cleansing. Dieter's Cleanse is the obvious one but even just doing the Liver Cleanse formula and some Psyllium capsules or powder is useful. Another favorite is the 14 day Tiao He Cleanse program. Also consider if you need a candida cleanse. Candida Clear will reduce that craving for sugar, starch, and excess dairy ( cheese!) Cleansing can be done every 4 weeks if desired.
2. Drop all the excess JUNK! bread, crackers, pasta, soda, candy, etc. Eat veggies, fruit and protein with a minimum of starch. Ezeikiel bread is high fiber and a great choice. Keep it in the freezer and lightly toast when wanted
3. Boost your Metabolism- Exercise as often as possible some weight lifting type, some cardio ( think of walking fast or dancing hard) at least 30 minutes a day or break up into 10 min workouts even. Take MetaboMax Plus or MetaboMax Free to continue the boost in metabolism.
4. Replace sugar in your house with NSP Xylitol (40% of the calories of sugar) and Stevia ( NO calories) - two natural sweeteners that are safe for diabetics, those fighting candida and those interested in reducing calories. NSP has bulk of both these plus xylitol gums, mints in several flavors, and delicious dark chocolate bars in two flavors.
5. Support the Adrenals- craving sweets or salty things when stressed? try Adrenal support or NutriCalm to feed the adrenals and stop this craving when stressed.
6. Replace one meal a day with a protein product-there are 3 to choose from. Nutri Burn contains additional herbs and vitamins to help with fat burning but also useful are SynerProtein and the new Love and Peas (vegan approved)
7. Keep Carbo Grabbers and Fat Grabbers on your shelf. These are very useful to take before eating those occasional treats we are faced with at parties and restaurants
8.Join Weight Watchers- even just for a few months. They have a very good system for keeping a balanced diet. I prefer their CORE plan which is simple- eat reasonable amounts of most all fruits vegetables,protein and non-fat dairy items then "count" any breads, fats (after your 2 teaspoons of healthy fat a day) and refined sugar or alcohol choices.
There's some ideas to get you started- For even more in-depth information order the NSP Weight Loss booklet (# 5322-1) and get more ideas. Help get America off the top of the Obesity list!

Summer/Fall - Sept 2009___________________________________________________________________________________________

We just returned from a fantastic convention with NSP in Las Vegas and my head’s swimming with all the new info and new products. I will try to give you a quick preview but DO go online at my website above and check them all out- or call me for info pages on them.

Sunshine Heros- a whole new line of children’s chewables! All have a base of antioxidant fruits and vegetables and amino acids. They are sweet and tasty like gummy bear candies and seem more like a fruit snack then a supplement. There are Multi-Vitamins and Minerals, Probiotics (with 11 strains), Calcium with D3, Whole Foods Plus Antioxidants, Omega 3 with DHA, and Whole Foods Papayazyme. Don’t leave your child unprotected during the cold and flu season- check it out.

Ionic Minerals with Acai- Adults and children that do not like capsules, should try this new liquid mineral product. Because these minerals are charged (ionic) they are easily and quickly absorbed into the cells in the intestines. Along with the Acai berry juice (a powerful antioxidant) this can help regulate pH and support the cardiovascular system .

Solstic- For those on the run there is a new drink “stick”. It’s a small pouch of natural apricot peach flavored powder with 100% or more of daily vitamin and mineral amount along with lutein (for eye health), lycopene (anti-oxidant known for role in men’s health) and stevia sweetened (no calories and diabetic safe) and NO junk like some stick drinks! Dump it in your water bottle as you run out the door or keep handy at work or the gym to give you quick nourishment and help balance your pH. It’s like Crystal Lite with a KICK!

New and Improved Weight Loss Line- NSP has made a concentrated effort to improve and update many products that will help with the Obesity Epidemic in the US. (we are #1 in the world in obesity) Two out of three people are overweight and NSP has something to help with all aspects of it. Meal replacement powders such as NutriBurn (with Whey) Synerprotein ( with Soy ) and Love and Peas (with pea protein-vegan approved) are all in new space saving resealable bags. MetaboMax Plus, Metabomax Free (with no caffeine), MetaboStart Plus (14 day program) and CLA to enhance fat burning and Carbograbbers with food bound chromium have been reformulated to be more effective than ever in the weight-loss battle. With the cooler temperatures making it easier to exercise, join me and get serious this month. NSP also has a new Weight Loss booklet (#5322-1) that explains all the ways to use the new products and other ideas to optimize your efforts. Starting with Dieter’s Cleanse is a great way to begin by getting the liver more able to process and break down the fat. Check out my Blog (above) for more ideas or ask me how to make your weight loss program more effective.

Boomerang Air Sanitizer- here is a GREAT way to protect you and your family from the swine flu and any other germs (including MRSA) with no risky side effects like a drug vaccine might have. It can clean the air of a 2000 sq ft. area of your home or office and can be moved from room to room if wanted. It is small and quiet and can even mount on the wall easily.It’s different than most air filters which usually use HEPA filters which only work on the large particles and trap contaminants in the filter creating a breeding ground which, if not changed promptly, makes the air quality worse. Boomerang actually destroys mold, bacteria, virus and volatile organic compounds (paint fumes, nail polish, cleaning products) and odors with its unique technology, which has a patent pending for it. It’s simple to use, affordable and energy efficient. No cleaning or filter replacement for 3 years. Ask me for an air quality test and demo of this great device.

Like to use herbs and oils to HEAL YOUR PETS? Great reference charts are available from Tree of Light. Each double sided chart is full of remedies for cats, dogs, horses, or birds and can be found at their website at www.treelite.com or ask me. Special Diet? See “LIVING WITHOUT” ,a magazine that focuses on recipes that are dairy, gluten, wheat and/or sugar free.

NSP Heath Education Seminar- Oct.10th 9-5pm cost $35 at Clarion Hotel, West Springfield MA (just off the highway-easy to get to) Mastering the Unique Properties of Herbs, The Seven Step Candida Solution, Change your Brain Change your Life are the three topics that will be presented. CALL 800 223-8225 to register TODAY (don’t wait as they will cancel this if they do not have enough pre-registered ahead of time) Free booklets and CDs on all the subjects and excellent teachers make this a MUST DO event . Don’t miss out! See you there
