Shaklee Distributor in Dallas says the yo-yo is a no-no.

Shaklee Distributor in Dallas says the yo-yo is a no-no.

Many people treat their health like a toy.  The yo-yo comes to mind when it comes to weight loss and maintenance.  It also brings about the old routine of joining a gym and going for a month or so then dropping off completely.

Neither of these is a good plan for long term health. Yo-yo dieting is harmful to current and future health.  Besides the current stress it puts on the body, it may also cause long term damage to our organs and our metabolism-in general, the way the body functions day to day on an ongoing basis.

Any diet that promises quick weight loss in a short period of time, one that encourages a drastic change in eating habits and lifestyle is probably not a good choice. If a diet is not something that you could follow for the rest of your life, it may not be the one for you.

A good weight loss program is one that you can see yourself following with ease and consistency.  One that will allow you to live your life without disengaging from people and activities you enjoy.

One such plan I have used for myself and others with great success is the Cinch Plan from Shaklee.  Click here for details.

Shaklee Distributor in Dallas encourages planning your holiday activities.

Shaklee Distributor in Dallas encourages planning your holiday activities.

 

It has been said that if you don’t know where you are going you won’t know it when you get there.

Do you know where your weight is going to be after the holidays? Do you have a plan to get there? If you just plan to wing it though the holidays you just might wind up some place you don’t want to be.

Like a boat adrift on the ocean with no rudder, without plans you are at the whim of your environment.  Having a plan with a goal in mind, you will be able to navigate your way through the holiday parties and dinners with skill and determination. You will be much more likely to make it to January 2, 2012 at a more desirable weight and a head start to hitting your health goals for the upcoming year.

If you or someone you know wants help to develop a plan to win their own challenge this holiday season call us at 214 252 9596 or email us at Tim AT DallasHealthHelpers DOT com.

Shaklee Distributor in Dallas explores calorie restriction.

Shaklee Distributor in Dallas explores calorie restriction.

During the holiday season, you may ask someone to lunch.  The reply may well be that “I am not having lunch today.  I am saving my calories for the party tonight.”  This is not a good plan.  It affects the metabolism, mood and mental  functions.  If the body is in a famine mode, things slow down to preserve energy.  This includes our thinking and physical functioning.  And we all know of someone who gets really testy when they are hungry.

Think of alternatives to starving yourself in preparation for a big onslaught of calories.  Keeping your nutrition levels up during the day will have you in a better mood for the party or dinner and you will be more enjoyable to be around.  Start off with a good healthy breakfast.  After all, you hopefully did not do any sleep eating, so it has been a few hours since you ate last.  Make sure that breakfast includes some low fat protein.  Remember that you don’t need to load up for five hours of energy.  Plan for a snack mid morning.  Again, keep the calories coming in at a low, but steady pace through the day. 

A smart lunch is also in order. The tendency to skip lunch has the same effects as skipping breakfast.  We weren’t meant to eat only one meal per day. So keep the nutrition coming. Don’t forget the afternoon snack as well.  Snack does not mean something from the vending machine wrapped in cellophane.

Eating moderately throughout the day will keep you from being the ravenous guest at the party who can’t seem to move away from the food table.  Take some time to mingle with other guests.  You’ll never know what connections you may make.

My recommendations for breakfast or lunch substitutions are Shaklee Cinch Shakes or Shaklee Meal Bars. They are very convenient and pack a wallop of nutrition in less than 280 calories.

Shaklee distributor in Dallas discusses Thanksgiving and weight gain.

Shaklee distributor in Dallas discusses Thanksgiving and weight gain.

Next month, someone you know will walk into the dining room just as they did last year.  The difference this year is that they will be carrying more weight than they did last year.  This is not good for their health–physically or mentally.

It is important that this yearly weight gain, however small in increments, is slowly deteriorating their health unless they are seriously under weight.  While a pound or two each year doesn’t seem like much, over time it can move one from overweight to obesity.

We all should find a weight loss program that works to maintain muscle mass, causes fat loss and builds our health to a higher standard.  One such plan is the Cinch Inch Loss Plan from Shaklee.  With this plan, one can get through the holidays maintaining current weight levels or even reducing body fat.

Think of someone you know who is serious about changing the direction that the numbers on the scale are going year after year.  Send them a link to this site and encourage them to check out the Cinch Plan.  You will both feel better.

Shaklee Distributor in Dallas warns of holiday weight gain.

Shaklee Distributor in Dallas warns of holiday weight gain.

The holidays are coming quickly and so are the plans for all the parties and meals.  So much of our social time centers around food and much of it is comfort food that is most often laden with fat and empty calories.

How we begin to think about and plan for the upcoming holidays is very important.  Is our focus more on the food than the actual close connections we make with people?  Do we spend more time planning what we are going to wear than how our eating habits come across?

It is a good idea to think ahead before giving or going to one of these gatherings.  After all good impressions are important and can deepen relationships.  Here are a few tips you have probably heard about or read before, but now is the time for a review:

Don’t go hungry.  Eat something before you go. A  protein shake will keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and you won’t be tempted to eat things you normally will avoid.  And by all means, do NOT skip meals so you can eat a lot at this event. Smart snacking during the day will keep your spirits up and your vulnerability at bay.

Drink water.  Water helps to keep the body hydrated well when thirst can be mistaken for hunger.  Often at parties, one feels the need to have a drink in hand.  Holding a glass of water with a lemon or lime slice in it can occupy your hands just as well as a high carbohydrate drink.

Concentrate on others.  Getting involved in what is going on with someone else will keep your mind off your nervousness or perceived hunger.  They will appreciate the attention, too.

These small “corrections” to your planning will take you into and through the holidays with a few tools that will keep you on track for better health come January 2.
