A member of the media sneaked into my colleague's business meeting and recorded the dialogue that occurred. Although it was a painful experience for me, the biggest loss stems from the CONSTANT number of people we repel because of not telling the truth.

An imbalance of zinc and copper ratio in the body causes hypothyroidism(http://www.mitamins.com/disease/Hypothyroidism.html), which is a thyroid disease that causes the thyroid gland. Research has shown that supplementation of the diet with first zinc, then copper, helps in hypothyroidism treatment(http://www.mitamins.com/disease/Hypothyroidism.html) and increases thyroid function. Zinc deficiency also causes low metabolic rate, which often results in immune dysfunction, so this is why it is important to get the right levels of zinc first.

OMEGA-9 RECOMMENDATIONS

Omega-9 oils derived from olive and other sources are not considered an essential dietary fatty acid. However, an impressive body of evidence indicates their health and nutritional benefits. Doses of as high as 10% of dietary fats, or 1 ounce of olive oil per day is one recommendation based upon research on the effect of omega-9 fatty acids on various health parameters.19-21

Weight Loss Diets with Negative Calorie Foods
Copyright 2004, www.negativecaloriefoods.com

Negative calorie foods are said to use more calories to digest than the calorie content
of the foods themselves, resulting in a negative calorie balance. It is therefore natural
to consider a diet containing these foods for weight loss.

A diet is a combination of a balanced selection of foods designed for medical or nutritional reasons. A good diet should include all major food groups. The weight loss diets (with or without negative calorie foods) are made to reduce body fat and weight. Some of the popular weight loss diets are : Atkin's diet, cabbage soup diet, grapefruit diet, Hollywood diet, negative calorie foods diet, Pritikin diet,the South beach diet and the zone diet.

Most of the weight loss diets promote to eat a particular food group and restrict other food groups. Such diets may show temporary results. If you follow these restricted diets for a long time, you may develop some health problems at later stage as these diets do not contain all the necessary nutrients needed for your body.

The secret to losing weight is to eat and drink the right kind of foods until you are satisfied. Skipping of meals is not the answer for weight loss, it can rather deteriorate your health. A healthy weight loss diet plan should include vegetables, fruits, grains, lentils and beans in your diet. Following is a sample daily diet plan that is good for keeping healthy weight and good health, irrespective of whether you follow a diet plan with negative calorie foods or not.

- Skim milk and skim yogurt .
- Salads or boiled vegetables or vegetable soup as starter.
- Whole-wheat bread/tortila, whole grain cereal and rice.
- Whole grains like kidney beans, chick peas and lentils.
- Lightly cooked green vegetables.
- Any dessert with minimum sugar.
- Lean variety of meat (it is better to avoid).
- The dinner should be light. If you had bread for lunch then have rice for dinner.

Include as much negative calorie foods as possible in the above diet plan. If you are meat eater, choose from a lean variety and restrict to one serving in a day.

A diet with negative calorie foods as main ingredients can include foods that are loaded with carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals and dietary fibers necessary for keeping you fit.

The diet with negative calorie foods can be tailored for fast or gradual weight loss. The fast weight loss diet that can lower the weight up to two pounds per day, is not recommended for long term.The gradual weight loss diet can reduce one pound in a week and can be followed until desired weight is achieved. The diet can be made according to ones needs. The negative calorie foods will not give you much benefit if you are eating foods loaded with fats and sugars. If you eat a serving of potato fries, don't think that you can reduce the calories gained from fries by simply eating some negative calorie celery.

------------------------------------ Managing Cravings with EFTKathryn Martyn, M.NLPThere are several ways to manage cravings. You can:

Attempt to stop eating the food you crave entirely (out of sight
out of mind).
Modify your eating habits around a particular food, i.e. cut back
on the quantity or how often you indulge.
Use EFT to end the attachment you have to this particular food.

1. Stop Eating the Food you Crave
Eliminating the offending food entirely is rarely successful. We
can only limit ourselves for so long before we go crazy, eating
everything in sight to make up for the deprivation. This also
introduces deprivation and control issues, which many have
trouble with leftover from childhood. Would it be better to learn
to enjoy your favorites without losing control around them?

2. Modify your Eating Habits
Modifying your behavior can be successful, but it can also be
difficult because even though we want to change, it seems that
despite our best efforts, we still find ourselves craving the
same things, day after day. It is the "how" that stops us. How
can we change a behavior that is a habitual response? How can we
stop doing what we don't want to do? There are literally
thousands of diet and weight loss books and most offer nothing
more useful than the "eat less, exercise more" advice. If it were
simply a matter of doing what we know we should do, there would
be no obesity epidemic, but it's not that simple. We need to know
HOW.

3. Use EFT to end the Attachment to a Particular Food
EFT is often helpful to diminish or demolish the cravings. It can
be your HOW. How to change habits that you want to be rid of, how
to create new, better habits, that support what you want, instead
of what you don't. EFT is simple to learn, and effective.

If you don't yet know how to do EFT, read this brief explanation,
then download and print the worksheets, instructions and
reminders all in one convenient PDF packet.

4. Stop Talking Yourself Into It

You've said you are going to stop nighttime snacking, and then
the voices start, "I've been good all day, I deserve a treat,
just one won't hurt..." You're basically talking yourself into
it, and then you're off and running to the kitchen. Most of us
find that once we say yes to that voice, there's no holding
ourselves back.

As soon as you realize you are doing the "talk myself into it"
routine, start using EFT immediately. Catching yourself in the
act is difficult at first, but if you keep an open mind, you will
start to notice. No matter where you are or what you are doing,
you can instantly perform an EFT procedure on yourself, and get
quick results. You don't need to wait until later, until the
atmosphere is just right, or until you are alone or somewhere you
can relax. You can do it while driving, you can do it in a crowd
standing on the corner.

Examples of EFT for Ending Cravings

The first round you might notice the craving is somewhat reduced
(or it could disappear entirely), but it will likely be lessened.
Once you have done one round, re-rate your desire for the food,
and if it is still high (more than a six), do another round of
EFT right then:

Set-up: "Even though I still want to eat _________, I'm fine just
the way I am."

Reminder: "Still want to eat _________."

While I'm doing the EFT round, I might find myself thinking
things such as, "It's not that I want to eat them all, it's just
that once I start I can't stop."

So, for the next round I'll use that statement:

Set-up: "Even though I can't stop eating cookies once I get
started, I deeply and completely accept myself anyway."

Say the "even though" part with gusto, you really mean it! You
are okay, just the way you are.

Reminder: "Can't stop"

This round might lead to, "That's not true, I can decide how much
I want, I just don't want to limit myself," so the next round
might be:

Set-up: "Even though I hate to limit myself, I deeply and
completely..." or "Even though I don't want to limit myself," or
whatever words fit your situation.

Reminder: "No limits"

Make this process yours and let your personal thoughts guide you.
Doing this will help you unearth core issues and beliefs you may
not have realized were there.

More often than not what happens with these simple and effective
techniques is you will stop using them. Not because they don't
work, but because they do. You will stop because you aren't ready
to give up your eating habits - you like the food, you enjoy the
taste, the pleasure you gain from the eating is greater than the
pleasure you anticipate by making a change in your habits. It's
as if you say to yourself, "Screw it, I don't care. I want it
now, and I'm going to have it." Much like a small child, you are
simply feeding your instant desire, and that's okay too.

Be gentle with yourself. Realize you will do this on occasion,
and accept it. It doesn't make you a failure, it simply proves
you are human. Accept yourself as you are. If you make a
commitment to do the EFT exercises, even though you don't want
to, you will reach success.

In my work reluctance to do something that will work explains why
people continue to seek something new. They read new books, they
try new diets (witness Atkins, now South Beach Diet), they ask
each other (usually their overweight friends) what they are doing
(why not ask someone without a weight problem instead?). The
answer is they don't really want to make a change for the better,
they just want the easy fix. Give me a pill, a simple food plan,
make it easy for me, and I'll do it. I can keep on any plan for
the short-term, lose some weight, then as I'm gaining it back I
can just blame myself. It's my fault for stopping the diet. It's
my fault, for not staying on the plan.

This is not a healthy way to live. Take back your power. You
decide what you will or won't do every day. Stop giving that
power to others - stop blaming yourself for not staying on
someone else's plan, and make your own plan.

This is the single most important thing in anyone's change
process: Realizing what you want for your health, your body, your
life, is more important than what you get by the instant
gratification.

Raw Food SpecialistsHoliday Dieting: A Sweet Way To Cheat!


Holiday Dieting: A Sweet Way To Cheat!

 by: Laura Turner

If your diet is making you a humbug this season, theres some good news. Turns out dark chocolate, that decadent confection, may actually be good for you!

Yes, recently conducted studies published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition have shown that a dose of dark chocolate will heed all sorts of healthy results. And with the holidays just around the corner, this news couldnt have come at a better time.

So just for fun, I thought Id conduct a mini-research project of my own and get the skinny on our friend dark chocolate. Heres some of the interesting factoids I came up with:

  • Cocoathe precursor to chocolate--has been around a long time. A few thousand years, in fact. It has been thought that cocoa beans were brought to Europe in the 1500s by Christopher Columbus.

  • Cocoa, later made into chocolate, was given to American Soldiers in WWII. A source of high energy, each solider was given a three chocolate bar per day ration, according to historical data.

  • Researchers started getting more involved when studies began showing that in addition to being a high energy food, chocolate also seems to stimulate elevated moods. Researchers found truth to this, showing that dark chocolate does, in fact, increase levels of the mood-altering chemicals such as serotonin and endorphins.

  • Some researchers have also gone on to conduct major studies to prove the correlation between chocolate and a true physiological craving. (Check out Why Women Need Chocolate, written by Debra Waterhouse, Registered Dietician in 1999).

  • And, the best news yet. Upon further study, it has been found that the flavonoids in dark chocolate are scientifically proven to act as antioxidants, preventing bad cholesterol (LDL) in the blood from oxidizing and clogging arteries.

So, if you are looking for a healthy way to cheat this holiday season, dark chocolate may not be all together a bad option. Facts aside, however, and before you run out to fill your shopping cart full, keep these guidelines in mind:

  • Heed the advice of Aristotle: Everything in moderation. Refrain from taking the chocolate factory tour. Keep your chocolate fix to a minimum. Enjoy it, but please dont over do.

  • When you are shopping for chocolate, try to find dark varieties with at least 70% cocoa.

  • Also, make sure sugar or butter fat are not the first items listed.

If youd like to skip the treat and not the fun, send a virtual chocolate postcard from this fun chocolate website (no calories included) : http://www.virtualchocolate.com/index.cfm

To summarize my findings, it appears that dark chocolate is in fact our friend (and we will just leave its aphrodisiac qualities to your own private discussion groups, thanks).

As for the cravings.Well, do we really need chocolate?

Survey says: Dunno. But, with the holidays upon us, a Hersheys Special Dark Chocolate once in a whilenow available in the sugar free variety, mind you--sounds sweet enough to me.

Of course, too much of a good thing is -- bad. You actually might just end up producing "really expensive urine." It can help prevent cancer and heart disease, but too much of it will not only turn you a shade of yellow or orange, but in some cases can give you liver disease. So make sure to consult a physician to get the best combination of nutritional supplements that will best augment your body.

Once you start working out with free weights, it's a good idea to find a workout partner; a �spot' is required for some of the heavier lifts that are performed in a body building routine and without a spot, you can run the risk of serious injury. Another important aspect of the home gym that is often neglected is nutrition. While some people have no qualms about lifting all hours of the day, the benefits that they gain may be lessened due to an unhealthy diet. Bodybuilders should focus on a diet that is high in protein; meats such as chicken offer an abundance of this key compound, and you can supplement your protein consumption via workout shakes that are available for sale at any major health-food store.

Gym memberships can be expensive; by simply buying your own workout set-up, you can save a whole lot of money without even having to leave the house! A mirror is also a good idea for a workout room; the more that you see the progress you've made in the mirror, the further inspired you'll be when it comes to getting even stronger.
