The big reason why people are getting FAT!!!!

Sitting on a resent flight to Chicago for the 4th of July, the Stuart passed offering some snacks which you have to pay and some drinks which are courtesy of the house. In front of me were sitting 3 kids, they asked for a soda can for each one. In the Stuart’s cart they held juices, sodas and water.
People and also parents need to learn what’s inside of a soda or a juice….. just nothing good. It is filled with sugar and if not with either high fructose corn syrup or a sugar substitute and colorants. And what sugar can cause to your body and even to your brain? is only damage, nothing better. Sugar is addictive; it is the main reason why people are obese these days, kids suffering from ADD, learning disabilities, diabetes and so on.
Can you imagine the Stuart offering some kind of stimulant or worst Marijuana? Well it’s the same in some way.
Kids are being taught and are being exposed to junk, lots of sugar… and that’s what the market wants, so they will increase their sales…… what a waist. Why they do this to us?? There should be a big sign or maybe a huge one posting: “HELP!!!! WE NEED GOOD FOOD”
Big companies should come up with something that kids will love, enjoy and at the same time make them healthy, and so be the future of our society. We need to teach them how to enjoy clean and pure water, the best source of fluid for your body.
Keep Moving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stay Fit while in vacation

First rule to be fit and healthy is to eat your veggies, lean protein, good fats and your starchy carbohydrates without forgetting drinking plenty of clean and pure water. But what happens when we travel, go out for the weekend?? UPS!!!! Then we have to eat where ever and whatever…. So if you are organized, knowledgeable about your food combining; portion control you can easily manage your eating habits where ever you go.

Just recently came from a long weekend with my family from Chicago, and on the plan there were places to visit and restaurants to eat. Chicago is famous for their deep pizza and hot dogs. Well I thought: If it is just for the weekend I can deserve a “Cheat day” or call it a “Free day”. Life is to enjoy. Always being conscious of not binging.

I decided that if I would have a pizza night, that day I would be eating my normal meals: breakfast would include my egg whites with some veggies and a piece of whole wheat toast, for my snacks I will take with me some nuts and fruits, knowing that I might not be able to find a healthy stop, and dinner will be the pizza time, and why not with a glass of wine. Now the important part is to enjoy it, don’t over eat, you don’t want to end up with stomach ache.

This is a matter of wanting to keep your body in shape, healthy and not coming with extra pounds that then you will regret….not good!!!

If you want you can, is a matter of choice!!!!

Did I enjoy Chicago? O yeah, what an outstanding city.

“TO BE OR NOT TO BE HAPPY” That’s your decision!!!

Research has proven that happy people live longer, are healthier, more successful, enjoy deep relationships, earn more money, and are liked and better respected.

But what happens? That people are almost always worrying in spending their energies and time in small things that are not that important. So it’s better to stay focus in what it is important, be proactive, searching for actions that takes us to self growth.

If you just take a few minutes every day and be thankfull for all the blessings & positive things that you have gotten into your lives, just by this act you will experience positive feelings of happiness.
These are some of the principles that I use to keep my self happy, they work for me and I hope they will work for you too.

**Keep good relationships with family and friends
**Be an optimist (try to extend the time you spend on positive thoughts.)
**Keep a sincere smile, and laugh a lot. Act happy. It won’t hurt if you do it with someone you don’t even know.
**Do some physical activity; exercise regularly. This brings your serotonin up.
**Pray. Believe in God, be spiritual.
**Be generous and share with others. Give with your heart, and give more than you receive.
**Love your body and accept it just the way it was created. And take care of it; this is the temple of your soul.
**Read, exercise your mind, search for new subjects, projects, ideas.

To be Happy is a decision that you have to make. And there are just two options:
To Be or Not To Be Happy” Which one would you choose???

We need to set our goals wisely and to develop happy-thought strategies and to surround ourselves with encouraging and positive people.

Be open to new possibilities and don’t judge, try not to take things personally, open your heart to whom is in need, be honest, and accept the today, that will open your mind and spirit to you and to whom is in contact with you.

Be an optimist; be positive and laugh, LAUGH A LOT!!!!!!!!!

Keep Moving!!!!

WHY WE FAIL IN WEIGHT LOSS??

Sometimes people come to me with this statement:
” Diana, why should I eat breakfast if I’m not hungry in the morning??"

Breakfast; as the word says it means break the fast. You have been sleeping for 6 to 8 hours, you need to start the day by putting some fuel (energy) onto your body, that’s the way our bodies will run and at the same time it will speed your metabolism.

Now…..not all foods are made the same, you have to choose wisely which foods are the ones you are going to consume, the ones that will be optimal and which will give you all the benefits, the nutrients your body needs to run smoothly and safe. And by just changing this habit you will be able to burn more calories during the day…isn’t it amazing???? O yes it is!!!!!!!

As an example: is not the same to have first thing in the morning a donut with an orange juice, as a bowl of regular oatmeal with some egg whites.
Excuses: I don’t have time :0(……. If we want, we always can find 3-6 minutes, how?
Take the blender, pour 6 ounces of water, ice cubes, a scoop of good organic quality protein powder, some berries, ¼ cup of regular oatmeal, cinnamon (optional) ,1 package of stevia, blend it and Voila!!!!!!!!!!!!! You’ll have an amazing Smoothie.

You have time?? Good…… ……

Egg white Omelet
Ingredients:
Organic egg whites
1 whole organic egg
Vegetables: peppers, onions, tomatoes, spinach, broccoli (you choose)
Sea salt and pepper

Sautee the vegetables in a pan, pour the egg mix and cook. That easy!!!!!

Keep handy some Ezequiel bread (you’ll find it at the refrigerator in your local supermarket) the one I like is English Muffins they taste yummii, but always toast it a bit.

And Keep Moving!!!!!!!!!!!

This past week the “Eat Well, Be Well Super Market Tour” was outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to all participants for the great feedback.

I wanted to take the opportunity to share one interesting question I got this Tuesday:
Is the sugar of an orange juice the same as an orange? Aren’t they natural sugars???

Juices have a lot of added sugars, about 8 to 9 teaspoons per glass (in 8 ounces) and less fiber. This sugar that is added to the juices is called fructose, a type of carbohydrate that will raise your insulin levels, causing you to easily gain weight.
Orange juice is the outcome of taking many oranges (some of them damaged) and processing them. Also, many additives are used to preserve its shelf life and freshness.
The benefits of eating a whole orange are that it has fiber, vitamins and its nature of an earth product. Does it have sugar? Yes, but this one is not added and combined with the fiber of the fruit, moderating insulin release.
Eating fruits is ok as long you are healthy, no diabetes or weight problems.

HOW ARE YOU DOING??

I was today at the supermarket, and I heard this answer as I walked by:
A women asked : How are you doing Sir? The answer was? “Not so bad”

This is the 2nd time in this week that I heard this same answer. The other day at the gym I asked the same question to a client: Not so bad Diana, he said.

What does this answer mean: that 50% of your life is kind of bad and 50% is good???
Or that you might not want to say that your life could be better but is not??

The truth is that when someone ask you how are you doing, they DO NOT CARE AT ALL!!!! it is just a polite way of saying “HI”.

So why don’t people just say something positive, like:
“Great thanks?
Every time you put a bad word, thought or believe and you express it, it will be the way you react in life. But if just by saying awesome even if it’s not completely true, your mind set and believe will change in a positive way.

“The joy of life is in the journey. The fulfillment of life is in the growing.”
Keep Moving!!!!!!!!!!!
