10 Foods that Burn Fat

 There’s more to dieting than simply counting calories. Sometimes, what we eat is just as important as how much we eat.

This is because some foods are simply more readily converted to fat, while others are actually foods that burn fat. When you make foods that burn fat a regular part of your diet, you can lose weight with less effort.

Bureaucrats Secretly Implement ObamaCare
By Tony Lee
HumanEvents.com

When ObamaCare passed in the partisan manner in which it did, the liberal establishment and its ever growing army of pipsqueak transcribers in the mainstream media said ObamaCare’s passage would be a boon for Democrats and mocked those like Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli who spoke out against ObamaCare and called the measure unconstitutional, particularly the individual mandate requirement that would compel citizens to buy health insurance they may not have otherwise wanted to purchase.

New Years Resolutions, I'm Here To Help The Weary...THIS IS YOUR YEAR TO MAKE IT HAPPEN AND THROW THEM OREOS AWAY!!! HAHA :D

This is that time of the year people are writing their new years resolutions which often are- loosing weight, toning up ect. Heres my take on these new years resolutions.

-Change comes from within

I can give people all the fitness and health tips in the world, but unless you take upon yourself to integrate the habits into your life, it won't happen for you. If I tell people about my weight loss success their immediate reaction is..."OMG HOW DID YOU DO IT!?! CAN YOU HELP ME LOOSE WEIGHT AHH??"

Next I tell them its a lifestyle not a diet, follow the food pyramid, exercise and do things you love. ect ect... I tell people about my zumba and pilates class, my cycling class. Sometimes I even swap numbers. SOMETIMES I even make a date to meet up at the gym the next day or next week. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE ASKED FOR MY ADVICE HAVE ACTUALLY FOLLOWED THROUGH??? zero!

Because afterall, yes that sounds like a great idea- to wear a bikini this summer, to loose 20lbs ect ect...it also sounds like a great idea, to save up $1,000, or to pay off your car this year. BUT UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY MAKE STEPS TOWARD DOING SO IT WON"T HAPPEN!

-The first step is showing up!

If you can, no matter what the weather or how you feel, get your tennis shoes on, get out the door, once your in the gym, the swimming pool, the basketball court, the weight room, the track, the dance studio, however you get your sweat on, the rest is just a matter of making the first move.

EXERCISE LIFTS YOUR MOOD! There is a vast difference between my mood now and last year when I was imoble because of my car accident I didn't not go to the gym and quite frankly didn't strategize ways to go. Somedays I feel like crap, angry, or maybe down I go dance, stretch, swim, cycle whatever...I feel invigorated, inspired, excited, alive...and you will too!!

-It's day by day

Nothing happens overnight. In fact it takes 6 weeks to feel and begin seeing changes! Whether that be feeling stronger, feeling more motivated to exercise, feeling better about eating different kinds of food. Whatever. BUT TIERRA, 6 WEEKS IS A LONG TIME. No its not! Just think with me for a second...what were you doing 6 weeks ago? And what did you think you were going to be doing now...maybe nothing what you actually are doing...but if you make plans day by day, in 6 weeks TRUST you will have made progress!

Make realistic goals!

Don't expect anything miraculous just yet. Don't expect to loose 50lbs by May. Maybe something like 20lbs! Which is enough motivation to keep you going right??

You must wait for A) your tastebuds to adapt to these new foods B) your metabolism to speed up C) have increased energy. About 9 months ago I couldn't imagine eating some of the things I eat now...In fact about 3 weeks ago I couldn't imagine really liking portabella mushrooms...and now their my new favorite veggie (and they speed up your metabolism...when your metabolism is fast you gain weight at a slower rate in other words, your able to maintain weight better than if you have a slower metabolism)

Make a Plan!!

Some people like to dive head first...I suggest a plan. However I'm a virgo and highly organized and detailed....What are you going to do week 1- maybe its go from regular to diet soda, water and green tea....replace ice cream with yogart...replace white bread with wheat...its one thing after the next...

Write down the days and times your going to exercise before the week starts.

REMEMBER- IF YOUR TOO BUSY FOR EXERCISE, YOUR TOO BUSY! It is doctor reccommended to recieve 30-60min of exercise 3-5 days per week. Talk to your boss, change your work, school schedule, get a print off of the gym class, get a buddy, do something!

Cheat A Little! But only a little...

Thats right, you need a cheat to make you realize how much better you feel with eating natural food...Got a date at the movies this weekend, Going clubbing or bowling with friends, Church dinner, Family Reunion, Christmas Party?? Save your splurge for the event, but eat like always the day of before and after event is my rule of thumb. Don't bring any home, don't even think about it... Save the sweets for occasion. Think of junk food as drinking, you don't sit around watch tv and say, "Hey pass the Vodka, pass the Ciroc!" So don't do the same with junk food, it only makes your miserable, junk food has no nutritional value! So cheat when their are weekend events, (Trust me, you won't have more than 2 things each weekend) Throughout the week when people offer you something say no thank you or take a small piece and keep it steppin. You've got goals to reach and can't keep messin around! But cheating on the weekend events is acceptable and neccessary!

Force it first, then it'll come natural...

Sometimes you just have to force yourself to like something before you actually do...

For example I've always hated water, now I can't get enough of it. I remember it high school I fainted during P.E, it was maybe only 87degrees out, when I went to the nurse they said because of lack of water...You would think that would be a sign right? Wrong...I continued to not drink water until early this year. My weight was stagnant..I had finally go to the 140's range weighing in at 148 end of April 2010, I thought all hope was lost... a got in a conversation with a personal trainer at Golds Gym and she said the last few pounds is what you eat. I said hmm well I've got the eating and exercising down pact...scanning around my kitchen one day I thought to myself, what could I be missing, I looked at the faucet and paused- WATER! I was only drinking water at the gym...So from that day on I forced 64oz (about 3 1/2 16.9 oz Disani or Aquafina waters a day) After the 1st week, I thought, this aint so bad, after week 2, It was habitual...after week 3 I was craving water...

So in order to make it happen, take the leap!

Consider Your History!

If you have never eaten a piece of whole grain bread, salad, oatmeal, or real strawberries, your in for a rude awakening when changing your lifestyle. It's going to feel uncomfortable. This is not said to scare you, but to warn you, it's going to really take time and effort. My history..from birth to about 12 I ate candy, fast food, but also enjoyed some healthier foods like yogart, wheat bread, fruit...from 12-17 I ate the 'healthy foods' power bars, fruit cups, oatmeal, eggs, cheese, peanut butter, milk....age 18 I was in college and got influenced by the college food culture- greasy pizza (2 slices at a time) 'real fruit juice', hot chocolate, donuts...(It's pretty discusting now that I think back on it) YUCK!!

But from 19 and til present (I'm 20)...I've turned a new leaf, couldn't imagine going back...If you have made fast food this and that your basic dinner most days, and no 'yogart' from cold stone or dairy queen does not count! Then your in for some real challenges but just know-

IT MAYBE HARD BUT SURELY NOT IMPOSSIBLE!

I came to the conclusion that if people can loose 70, 100 and 200lbs and KEEP IT OFF!?

Surely I can loose my little gut! Trust me, the battle is worth the fight!

Start now! Like, as soon as your done reading this post!

Elongating this process will make it harder. If you start somewhere your more likely to at least keep trying.

Ways to start..

-Food Diary: Write the times of what you ate and how much and what.

-Replace: Sugar for Honey, White bread for wheat bread, Digornis Pizza for Pasta & Veggies or Rice and Veggies (it's not that hard to cook yourself), Fruit Cups for Fresh Fruit, Soda with 100% Fruit Juice and Tea...TEA FROM THE BAG, NOT BOTTLED TEA, and milk. Cookies for Dark Chocolate (70% coca ONLY!!!). (If you've still got sweet treats lurking in your pantry sell it, give it away, give it to the poor, Merry Christmas :) . Promising to nibble off it each day will only increase your temptation. DON'T SURROUND YOURSELF WITH JUNK FOOD AND SWEETS IF YOU DONT HAVE TO!

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! GO TO MYFOODPYRAMID.GOV, STUDY THE FOOD PYRAMID, RUN TO YOUR NEAREST SHNUCKS OR WHOLE FOOD, BORROW SOME POTS AND PANS, START COOKIN, BUY SOME HOME GYM EQUIPMENT OR SIGN UP FOR THE GYM OR BETTER YET BOTH AND LETS GET TO WORK! I SEE THAT BIKINI BODY SHOWING ALREADY! :)

This makes me wana cry!!!

Look at the most horrible diets of 2010 that Yahoo posted. SAD!

Speeding Up Your Metabolism: How to Speed Up Your Metabolism Plan

Speeding Up Metabolism: Perfect for Women who are too Busy to Diet

New science reveals the food formula that speed up your metabolism and trains cells to burn 32 percent more fat - and keeps those metabolic fires burning 'round the clock.

- Burn 32% more fat than with Zone, Atkins or South Beach
- Cut Cravings by 81%
- Lower LDL cholesterol by 23 points

Over the years, as experts have debated the best way to lose weight, two strategies have stood out as superior: consuming more protein and eating five or six mini meals per day, thus, speeding up metabolism. And now ground-breaking research reveals that combining these two approaches guarantees unrivaled results.

Scientists at the University of Wollongong in Australia found that eating a high-protein meal triggers a 35 percent spike in metabolism that lasts four hours. "Harnessing this power five or six times daily keeps metabolism high, so the body is burning fat at its peak 24/7", says nutrition researcher Tom Venuto, author of The Body Fat Solution (Avery, 2009). And studies at Tufts University at Boston suggest that spreading protein intake over five or six meals is so effective in speeding up metabolism that it results in 32 percent more fat loss than traditional low-carb plans.

How Speeding Up Your Metabolism with Protein Mini Meals Pare Pounds

When women consume frequent protein-rich meals, they effortlessly cut their daily caloric intake by as much as 55 percent. That's because the meals suppress the stomach's production of the hunger-triggering hormone ghrelin and simultaneously increase the small intestine's formation of peptide YY, a powerful appetite-controlling compound. "What's more, some of the amino acids in protein, including phenylalanine and glutamic acid, are absorbed right into the brain, where they dampen carbohydrate cravings and reduce appetite for up to three hours straight," adds David Heber, M.D>, Ph.D., a professor of medicine and public health at UCLA.

Even better, one of protein's building blocks, leucine, specifically targets belly fat. Research in the journal Diabetes reveals that this amino acid switches on weight-controlling genes within the omentum, the fat-laden abdominal tissue that is so difficult to shrink. This prompts the body to release- and burn - 25 percent more fat from this region than it does on low-protein diets.

Another boon for the body: Women who adopt this dietary strategy retain three times more metabolism-revving muscle tissue during weight loss, according to research at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. "If you maintain 12 pounds of metabolically active muscle as you lose weight, you'll burn 130 more calories every day just sitting still", says Venuto. "And that saved muscle will make you look sleek and toned, so you won't end up with that skinny yet flabby look that's common with low-protein plans".

All told, speeding up your metabolism with protein mini-meal method is so effective; it's helped thousands of women shed up to pounds of stubborn body fat every week.

And a Slim Body is just the beginning...

Protein-rich mini meals also spur dramatic improvements in health and well-being. USDA scientists report that eating frequent meals lowers cholesterol levels by 23 points - enough to cut heart disease risk in half. And according to researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, mini meals also:
-Increase energy by 75 percent
-Cut risk of indigestion by 32 percent
-Reduce food cravings and hunger pangs by 81 percent
-Lower risk of insulin resistance by 50 percent
-Reduce heart-harming triglycerides by 40 percent

Can you really Lose Weight with Fruit Pills?

Lose an average of 28 pounds in 10 weeks.

A fruit pill can be a great slimming aid. According to a study in Nutrition Journal, subjects taking a fruit concentrate lost an average of 28 pounds in 10 weeks.

Fruit concentrates, like Nutrilite Concentrated Fruits and Vegetables , are loaded with phytochemicals that significantly reduce metabolism-slowing inflammation.

You would have to eat 10 to 20 servings of produce per day to get the same benefits. And even if you did eat that much fruit, you'd be ingesting so many calories, there would be little room for other foods that make up a well-rounded diet.

Still, keep aiming for five daily servings of real produce. This way, you'll get extra slimming and satiety-providing nutrients that pills lack, such as fiber.

Jenny McCarthy's Slimming Treat

This treat reduces cravings, prolongs satiety and increases energy.

In fact, some women who kicked gluten out of their diet lost up to 5 pounds in just 48 hours.

Before heading to bed, Jenny McCarthy snacks on two gluten-free, casein-free cookies and a cup of tea.

Such snacks, like Lucy's Cookies , available in sugar, cinnamon thin, oatmeal and chocolate chip varieties, can lead to fewer insulin spikes.

Snack on this goodies and lose up to 5 pounds in just 48 hours.

Curb Cravings with just a Glance

Curb appetite and boost your spirit just by wearing this color.

Chromo therapists attest that the electromagnetic frequency of the color pink prompts the brain's pineal gland to release serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps curb appetite and boosts your spirit.

So wear a pink sweater or bracelet for a sugar-like high minus the calories and guilt.

Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Walk!

A 30-minute walk can burn 200 calories or more.

New Balance, an athletic apparel manufacturer, has put together a few training tips to make sure you get the most out of your walk:

* While walking, pump your arms to get more power from your hips and tone the upper body.
* Control your hips: Move them as extensions of your thighs.
* Stand tall to allow your waist to swivel with the motion of your hips and legs.
* Try interval walking: Normal pace for five minutes, fast for 30 seconds. Repeat eight times.
* Take short quick steps instead of long strides.
* Use the heel-to-toe roll and push off with the back leg.
* Five by fives: While walking, hold your stomach in for five minutes, release for five.

Gluten Free Foods

Not all grains contain gluten. On a gluten free diet you can still eat oats, millet, quinoa and soybeans. In addition, most of the gluten can be removed from many other products, like bread and cereals.

Obama Identity: A Fictional Tale Of Reality

Dieting Foods - Brown Rice

For many people, white rice is a diet staple. But, if you’ll buck tradition a little and replace white rice in your diet with brown rice, you may find that it’s easier to lose weight, and to feel full while dieting.

Brown rice is the exact same thing as white rice; it is just processed a bit differently. Brown rice is unmilled or only partly milled, as compared to white rice which is very milled and processed.

Dieting Foods - Brown Rice

Sweet Potatoes the Perfect Dieting Food

Sweet potatoes have one additional added benefit over many other traditional high fiber diet foods: their sweet taste. Sweet potatoes can be a very satisfying food for the dieter who has worked to eliminate sweets from their diet.

Converting Children to Healthy Eating Lifestyle

Pictures:

Print out pictures of the food pyramid, fruits, veggies ect and hang them around the kitchen. Make sure they are colorful enough to attract a kids' eyes!

TRY myfoodpyramid.gov for pictures of food pyramids and other kid friendly nutrition & exercise photos

Give them the Facts:

If you have a boy they maybe stubborn to the importance of nutrition yet love the idea of exercise. Tell your boys: Good nutrition gives you better energy to perform in sports.

Throw away the junk:

Thats right! Keeping junk food around the house will make everyone crave it more. Maybe keep a few pieces of dark chocolate or peanut butter around the house. Tell your kids sugar will not fill you up. Sugar will make you more hungry and want more sugar! Sugar can also help promote acne. Ewww!

Cheat a little:

That's right! Have your cheat day. After the boy's saturday football game, go to Whole Foods for some Pizza, go to Froyo for Ice Cream or Frozen yogart.

Pack healthy and cute snacks:

Pack lunches that look more attractive than nutritious. Try packing a peanut butter sandwhich on whole wheat bread, mixed fruit, mixed veggies and spinach dip, homemade spinach/shrimp pizza, blend up a fruit smoothie made from real fruit. Be creative. This also keeps down suspicious questions at the lunch table. Keep it colorful, bright, healthy and fun!

Get the family to help with cooking:

When you cook your meat, veggetables or whatever for the week. Have the kids pass you the Olive Oil, or Honey, or season the meat, or peel the oranges. Get the kids involved, put them to work, and cut your cooking time in half. Then give them a $1 raise on allowance! :D

Why your not loosing weight…

Why your not loosing weight…

Consuming Too Many Calories

-Calories is energy. You need a specific amount of energy per day depending on your body, age and calories burned throughout the day. Women should generally eat 1,700 calories per day. Smaller women cosume 1,600 calories per day. If you eat too many calories, those access calories will turn into fat. People get caught up in the “health food”, whole grain this and that. Watch your calories too!

Consuming Too Few Calories

-Consuming too few calories can backfire. If you consume don’t keep tabs of calories and consume too few of them, you may eat way too much at one time of the day. Eating too much at once causes weight gain. It’s always important to keep tabs of calories throughout the day. Even if you have to write them down to get into this habbit. Or make a tally mid day. This is important.

Not Exercising

-IT’S TRUE! Weight loss is 70-80% of what you eat. BUT exercise is a big help. It is doctor recommended that people receive 3-5days, 30-60minutes of exercise. However, for weight loss you may want to do more than this average. Also when you weight train and gain muscle, muscles burn calories at a higher rate than fat. This will double your rate of weight loss. When eating and exercising habits are inline, you can expect to loose 1-2.5 lbs p.wk. You cannot loose weight by eating alone!

Not ENOUGH Exercise

-Just because you went to the gym doesn’t mean you exercised. Standing in a garden doesn’t make you a flower, standing in the garage doesn’t make you a car. The most frustrating thing is, while I’m sweating bullets jumping rope, the lady next to me does 10 crunches then leaves. You must sweat to get a workout. Look at the numbers on the machine, wear a watch, or determine calories burned by looking up exercises. Activities done for 1hr such as Zumba, Boxing, Cycling and Step Aerobics burn 500-700 calories. Running or Swimming vigorously 30 minutes can burn up to 300 calories. Don’t just assume, research and go by the numbers. Weight loss is not magic, there is a science behind it.

Too Much Sugar

-Yes, Special K, Oatmeal, Fiber One Bars, and Dark Chocolate that is 70% cocoa is good for you! BUT eating all of these in one day is a little bit too much. Just because its healthy, doesn’t mean you should eat it, at least not today. My rule of thumb is to only eat 1-2 sweet things p.day. In addition to this I also drink 1-2 medium sized cups of green tea sweetened with just under a tablespoon of honey. So a piece of dark chocolate and serving of cereal. Balance is key!

Blowing It On The Weekends

It is important to treat yourself with a snack or two one day of the week. Or two small snacks two days of the week or weekend. Some people take it too far by negating all nutrition on Saturday and Sunday and gain the 2lbs they lost during the week all back. My rule of thumb for myself is one snack on Saturday. Or a small snack Friday and Saturday. Don’t stock up on junk food. Wait until that birthday party, movie night or wedding for your cheat day!

Your Not Drinking Water

This was the last thing I had to fix in order to knock of those last few pounds. I only wanted to loose another 8lbs, but actually lost another 18lbs!! All by drinking 64oz of water p.day. The first 2 weeks I forced water down. I used to hate water. By week 3 and 4 I started becoming thirstier for it. I was loosing 1-1.5 lbs p.wk by drinking 64oz of water a day. I already had the eating and exercising down, water was the last missing thing. Carry around a water or sports bottle, get a purifier, always carry water with you. Anyone can make this a habit!

Learn About Nutrition & Fitness to Loose Weight

Learn About Nutrition & Fitness to Loose Weight

When I first began my weight loss journey my first attempts were in March 2009, I went to the doctor around that time and weighed in at 162lbs 5’4. I felt that I had let myself go and missed the smaller figure I once had my high school days. One day my roommate and I decided to go to schnucks and pick up some veggies and a bunch of ‘health food’. I began running 30 minutes 3x’s a week. This trend didn’t last long. Over the summer I was in charge of catering food for a film and bought nothing nutritious. However my healthy attempt was slim fast with some food for breakfast, and an apple or piece of fruit a day. In August I kicked it into high gear with more time at the gym. Around November and December I started researching about weight loss, ab workouts, weight training, how much cardio p.wk, healthy snack ideas ect. These google searches I began about a year ago is the foundation for my nutrition and fitness knowledge today.

Around March and April 2010 I became REALLY interested in nutrition and started to dig deep. I discovered the benefits of several foods. Broccoli raises metabolism and helps cures many cancers. Grapes and blueberries are good for your skin. Fish, chicken, eggs, and nuts are a great source of protein. It’s best to eat a carbohydrate rich meal before a workout. Bananas are good to eat after a workout. My biggest discovery was myfoodpyramid.gov which is a very detailed and organized breakdown of the food pyramid and foods within each group. Sometime in the summer of 2010 I began this blog. I was so excited about the nutrition and fitness knowledge I had, and wanted to share with the whole world. In addition to this, my lifestyle became easier as I found more benefits of healthy eating. I came to the conclusion- “When you focus on nutrition rather than “dieting” and loosing weight, the journey is easier. Focus on facts and nutrition, the weight will follow!”

Alert! Parasites Can Make You Fat!

Believe it or not, parasites are a major hidden source of weight gain. Here's how to get rid of them.

Fish or meat that's raw, rare or cooked in the microwave isn't exposed to the high heat needed to kill parasites like protozoa an worms.

Once in the gut, these organisms absorb the nutrients needed to keep blood sugar balanced and energy high. And this often results in sugar cravings and chronic fatigue. Plus, they send biochemical signals to the digestive tract that the body registers as hunger, causing overeating.

To get rid of parasites, try an annual cleanse with parasite-killing herbs like black walnut and garlic. Two liquid extracts with proven herbs: Uni Key Verma Plus (a worm remover) and Uni Key Para Plus (a protozoa eliminator).

Outsmart Cravings with this Color!

This hue suppresses appetite and stress-related snacking, according to a study at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore.

Keep your sweet tooth from striking before bedtime by putting on pink pajamas after dinner.

Color therapists say the electromagnetic frequency of pink prompts the brain's pineal gland to release serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps nix nibble.

How Much Protein, Carbs and Fat We Need Each Day

We've all heard the term a “balanced diet”. But we may not know exactly how to ensure that our diets are truly balanced.

Getting your diet in balance means getting the right amount of protein, carbohydrate and fat per day to meet your body’s needs.

Protein, Carbs and Fat Needed Each Day

Dieting Foods - Wholegrain Foods

For years, people thought of all wheat and grain based products as virtually the same. No one really thought of white bread as being less healthy than whole wheat bread.

But, today we understand that eating highly refined carbohydrates is lousy for our bodies, especially if we’re trying to lose weight. One of the simplest things you can do to help speed up weight loss is switch to all whole grains.

Dieting Foods - Wholegrain Foods

Dieting Foods - The Grapefruit

But, grapefruit goes even further – and can help reduce body fat, too, it seems. Recent studies have concluded that grapefruit helps control insulin, which we know contributes to weight loss.

You see, fat can only be stored in the body when insulin is present. Insulin is secreted in response to elevated blood sugar levels. Grapefruit helps stabilize blood sugar, which keeps insulin in check.

Top 10 Thermogenic Foods

Thermogenic foods are those that use more calories to digest than they contain. Your digestive processes require calories, and some foods require more calories to process than others.

How to Lose Weight in a Week

We’d all like to lose weight in a week and be finished with our diets. But, in reality, we can only lose so much weight in a week. When we first start a weight loss program we quickly lose weight in a week during that first week.

Outsmart Stress Eating with this Dish Switch!

With all that's on your figurative plate, it's easy to scarf down everything on your literal one without a thought.

To slow down, swap circular dishes of square ones.

According to feng shui practitioners, circles stimulate mental chatter that prevents you from focusing on your food.

But squares inspire ken gua, or self-awareness. Cultivating this quality allows you to tune in to your body's satiety signals, so you stop eating when you're full.

Lose Weight Without Trying!

It doesn't require hours of toiling away at the gym to get the benefits of exercise. In fact, all it takes is clipping on a pedometer:

Studies at California's Lindora Medical Clinic found that those who used a pedometer lost 60% more weight than nonwearers.

These gadgets provide immediate feedback and incentive to take more calorie-burning steps each day, says integrative medicine specialist Hyla Cass, M.D.

Hannity: Insiders Say Obama is Unhinged

Charles Rangel Convicted of Ethics Violations

(Reuters) - Democratic Representative Charles  Rangel, Congress' former chief tax writer, was convicted by a congressional panel on Tuesday of ethics violations, many dealing with personal finances. A congressional ethics subcommittee found the veteran representative guilty of 11 counts, including failing to report rental income and improper use of a rent-stabilized apartment and soliciting charitable donations from people with business before Congress. The panel's chairwoman, Democrat Zoe Lofgren, said there was "clear and convincing evidence" against Rangel, 80, from New York.

The Importance of Planning For Best Nutrition and Fitness Success

Planning will either make or break your nutrition or fitness habits! When I began my journey I had an e-food diary, and e-gym schedule for the week. I began this over year ago to start good habits. Today I make a mental tally of calories about twice a day. Sometimes I’ll take a few seconds to whip out my phone calculator to see approximately how many calories I’ve eaten, and approximately how many more calories I can eat, and what food groups I have eaten from. I also write a weekly gym schedule. I pencil in 2-3 hrs of cardio, 1 hr heavy weight class, 3-4 30min core sessions, and 2-3 hrs of conditioning for the body. It is this combination that works for me, my body type, and my desired look. Many people may look at me and think that keeping my body and health in tact is a very hard thing to do. Not necessarily. Initially this was challenging. Today it’s a breeze honestly. The main setbacks are time and money. You can make time, and you can grocery shop for healthy itmes even with a small budget! You can have the abs, the shoulders, and legs! IT ALL TAKES PLANNING! Nothing happens over night or in mid-air. And although the word planning seems cumbersome to some people, It’s only something to set you up for a lifestyle permanent change. Just think, when you first began that new job, first had your kid, or first made that thanksgiving meal, you had to plan, write it down! But now you’re a pro! And although everyday will be different and bring about different challenges, you’ll be more prepared if you plan for them. SO TIERRA, WHAT ARE WAYS YOU PLAN IN ADVANCE TO KEEP YOUR HEALTH AND BODY IN CHECK??

(Glad you asked!)

Scenario 1-

I haven’t eaten vegetables today, I’m stuck at a meeting that doesn’t let out until 8pm, and I have to wake up early for class, or work the next morning.

SOLUTION

*While McDonalds maybe the first thing that comes to mind for some, have you ever considered getting a Shnucks salad on the go? Sure you have to actually walk in and make it instead of a drive through, but, if you can’t walk into a store, how lazy is that?? Just saying. So this would be my simple solution to this complicated scenario.

Scenario 2-

I’ve only got one day of cardio in, it’s Saturday night, and all the gym classes are done. I don’t want to do a treadmill or machine

SOLUTION

*First of all, the world will not come to an end if your regimen is thrown off one week. Try again next week and you’ll be good. But my solution to this scenario- do an outdoor run or ride your bike Sunday morning. Lots of people will be out! (Provided it’s not winter) If it’s winter make sure you are stocked up on workout DVD’s for emergencies like this one!

Scenario 3-

I’m moving into a new house and our oven won’t be fixed for a few days!

SOLUTION

There are plenty healthy options that do not require a microwave. While fruit, whole grains such as cereal, bread, crackers, nuts and seeds will be easy; vegetables can be a hassle without an oven, right? WRONG

No Oven Required! Veggie Dishes

*Cucumber Salad: Sliced Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Seasoned with Apple Cider, Vinegar, Salt and Pepper

*Giant Green Vegetables: Find them in the frozen vegetable aisle in Schucks. Many come with sauce. Follow the directions on the back and enjoy!

*Shuncks Salad

OTHER

*Deli Sandwiches: (Self explanatory). This is a great way to get some whole grains and protein!

*Baked Potatoes: Cut it in the center, season with salt, pepper, sprinkle shredded cheese, microwave for 7-8min, maybe add sour cream sauce!

*Peanut Butter Pita: Spread a serving of peanut butter and a little of honey on pita bread. Fold bread in half, and then fold in half again. Heat for 25 seconds. Let cool. What a great midnight snack!

*Crab Spread or Tuna & Wheat Crackers

*Whole Grain Chips & Salsa

*Shnucks Pre-Boiled Eggs

Typical Exercise Week Regimen

Monday

1hr Cardio (Evening)

1hr Conditioning (Evening)

Tuesday

30min Core (Evening)

1 15min Cardio (Evening)

Wednesday

30min Core

1hr Weights

Thursday

1hr Conditioning (Pilates) (Morning)

1hr Cardio (Evening)

Saturday

30min Core (Morning)

1hr Conditioning (Power Yoga) (Morning)

*When I do core exercises I hold planks and 5-8 lbs. I spend 20 min on my abs and 10min on my back. I spend about 5-7 minutes on each section- (lower rectos abdominals, middle abdominals & obliques). I consider my core exercise as strength because I hold weights for half of my abdominal moves, which works into my shoulders.

*Conditioning is key to having a long lean body. I recommend 2-3 times of conditioning per week for best results. Conditioning exercises include yoga, Pilates, and Thai chi.

*Each week I’ll switch it up. One week I may focus on cardio by doing 3 days, the next week I may focus on using the resistance training opposed to weights and use the resistance band instead of dumbbells, bars and kettle bells. One week I may try the stair stepper as half my cardio. One week I may try doing an extra day of stretching for a 4^th hour of conditioning to improve flexibility. Switch it up, do something different every week and you’ll never get bored.

REMEMBER: There is a science to achieving a great body, figure out your perfect formula!
