Anyone hear of a "natural " flavor found in vanilla ice cream called castoreum? I know I've seen it. Also found in strawberry oatmeal and raspberry flavored products. It is a secretion from a beavers a**l glands. Be careful what you put in your body, read the ingredients!

Although I started this business to help people lose weight and learn how much to eat, as we all progress and grow I've also learned nutrition is also about what Quality of food we we eat. Quick tip. Stop eating microwave popcorn! The bags holding most microwave popcorn are lined with perfluorooctanioc acid (PFOA). This chemical is the same toxic ingredients found in Teflon pots and pants. They can stay in the environment and in the human body for long periods. When heated it has been linked to infertility, cancer, and other diseases in lab animals. The contents of the popcorn include processed oils, artificial flavorings, sodium, preservatives ( including the highly toxic TBHQ) and trans fats.

I am reading an awsome book by Dr. Daniel Amen, called " Change Your Brain, Change Your Body." He teaches us how to "fix" our brains and how that helps to maintain the whole body. What he used as an example was interesting. He stated, " one prescription does not fit everyone," then went on to say this is why most weightloss programs do not work. " All of us need individualized or personalized prescriptions based on our own brains types and needs." EXACLTY!! What I've believed and known all along. THAT is what makes Reach Within Wellness different. Like our brain, our bodies are also all DIFFERENT. Weightloss franchise programs do not work in the long run. Everyone is unique and their metabolic needs vary significantly. With our program everyone gets their own customized nutrition plan based on their particular needs and goals, NOT a franchise pamphlet they hand out to everyone and a pill to pop. More importantly in your subsequent visits you will be taught how to make proper food choices so the weight stays off and you will never have to diet again. All this is done by a Registered Nurse, and Certified Nutrition Consultant who deals with chronic issues like Diabetes 2, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc. and understands the significance of these diagnosis. In ending come to see us, GET EDUCATED, NOT MEDICATED!!

Here is a perfect example of how you think you're drinking something healthy. Coconut water is good for you, but take a close look at the ingredients. The coconut water on the left is the original see the ingredients......... Coconut water, plain and simple. Now look on the right, it is a different version of coconut water with added mango. While I have no problem with the added mango, why, why, why do we need to add sugar!! It wasn't needed in the original version, so there is no need for added sugar now. So a little tidbit when looking for something healthy make sure you read the ingredients and compare. You may be getting a lot more than your bargaining for.

I had my first husband-wife weight-loss couple. They came to me after a week for their check up, the wife lost 1 pound, and the husband lost two. After stepping from the scale they were quite disappointed. I smiled to myself and said to them just wait. We then proceeded to go back into the office and take their measurements. After measuring the wife she had lost a total of 3 inches off her waist and 3 inches off her hips! The husband lost 2.5 off his waist.! And their body fat percentages were down 1% to 2%, all this in one week. You see the scale is not what determines the fat loss, it is measurements and it is body fat loss. The scale is only an indicator of where we are when we start. The way I do nutrition plans preserves muscle and you lose fat. Muscle weighs much more than fat, that's why when on these fad diets people can lose 5 to 7 pounds in a week it's because they are losing precious muscle and water, and still have no clue how to eat. Consequently they gain it all back and more when they go off these diets which no one can be on for any length of time. Your goal to dieting should be a size, what SIZE do you want to be? Weight means nothing, especially when you're preserving muscle mass. A perfect example, I weigh 140 pounds, but I take a size 2 or 3. So let's learn how to eat, and watch the inches meltaway!
