How to Lose Weight by Eating More

Dec 282010

Did you know the trick to weighing less is to eat more?

Your get healthy with Amber tip today is all about eating and enjoying more food in order for you to weigh less.

This all works by eating more whole foods and less processed foods. Processed foods are full of calories with pretty much zero nutrition. Even when the labels says its healthy, it still has a lot less nutrients for your body than whole foods.

Make half of your meals fruits and vegetables, one quarter protein, and one quarter whole grains. Drink lots of water. Get rid of the soda and fruit juices (unless the fruit juices are 100%). Soda actually dehydrates your body. It also has chemicals in it that interfere with the hormones in your body and makes your body think it is getting something healthy. It also can make you more hungry leading to you eating more. So drink water.

Pay attention to the type of calories you are getting. You don’t need to count calories in order to lose weight. You just need to always make the choices where there are the most nutrients for the calories you are taking in!

Slow down and enjoy your food!

Higher nutrient content fills you up and actually gives your body the nutrients it needs to thrive. This will then allow your body to finally feel it is getting the nutrients it needs leading to it shutting off its hungry sensors with less food.

Give your body what it needs! Eat more whole foods! There is an endless variety! Experiment and eat the colors of the rainbow (whole foods not skittles!).

What is a Raw Food Diet?

Healthy Eating, Organic/Raw, Weight Loss No Responses »

Dec 272010

I have received a few questions on what is a raw food diet since this eating plan is becoming more and more popular among healthy living gurus.

Well, a raw food or living food diet is one that is based on whole, unprocessed, organic, uncooked fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and beans.

You may wonder if this would be a healthy diet since it has no dairy or meat. Well, I will explain that more in a future video, but rest assured, dairy and meat do not have to be a part of a healthy diet.

Actually there are hundreds of studies out there where animal products actually are the leading cause of diseases such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and some forms of cancer.

So why would these lead to disease if they were a necessary part of the diet? Well, they aren’t.

Anyways, in a raw or living foods diet, people east as close to nature as possible with fresh whole foods. They eat less processed foods. They also eat local and organic produce.

This way of eating is chocked full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants! No wonder people who follow this diet as opposed to the standard American diet have less disease prevalence, have more energy,
and just feel great!

If you are interested in a raw foods diet, I recommend a high raw diet in which about 75% of calories come from raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and beans, and about 20% come from these food groups cooked, and the remaining 5% is what you choose!

Leave me a comment below and let me know what you think of the raw food diet and if you have any further questions! Don’t forget to share this video with your friends and subscribe to my youtube channel!

The Power of a Health Journal

Healthy Eating, Tips & Tools, Weight Loss No Responses »

Dec 162010

I always used to laugh at those people who would talk about doing a journal. What could you possibly have to write about?

Then I learned about health journaling and was hooked.

It is an awesome tool to track your progress and really figure out how you are doing on your road to ultimate health.

Some things that are great to include would be a food log of what, when, how you feel when you eat. Also, how is your energy level? In addition, include what you did as far as activities or workouts.

Never degrade yourself if you don’t follow your healthy living plan. Just get right back in the game and start from there!

Health journaling is a great way to express what you are doing, specific solutions to your health issues, and to evaluate your progress.

What do you think about a health journal? How do you recommend keeping track of your progress? Leave me a comment below and let me know!

How to keep Burning FAT even after your Workout!

Healthy Fitness, Weight Loss 6 Responses »

Dec 142010

We all want to get the most out of our workouts. If we are going to put forth the effort, we want to reap the benefits, right?

Here are a few quick tips to help you keep burning fat and lose more weight even after you are done with your workout for the day:

The best time to workout is morning before you eat breakfast. By waiting until after breakfast, your body will be ready to burn more calories and you will most likely make healthier decisions after you have all those endorphins running through your body!
By incorporating more strength training into your workout, you will burn more calories. The more muscle your body has, the faster your metabolism.
Try out interval training. Recent studies that were done showed that those who engaged in interval training instead of just long distance running burned more fat.

By working out in the morning with these 3 tips in mind, you will feel supercharged for the rest of the day which will lead to healthier food choices, you eating less calories, and you losing more weight in the long run and being able to keep it off.

If you have any other tips of your own or have a question for me, leave a comment below and let me know!

How to Lose Weight with Positive Thinking

Weight Loss No Responses »

Dec 092010

I have received quite a few questions asking what the first and most important step in getting started with losing weight is.

It seems like people are just plain struggling to get started with the right foot that will allow them to have the most success when it comes to losing weight and keeping it off.

I made a quick video to illustrate the importance and power of losing weight with positive thinking. Watch my video below:

I was shocked when I saw that we have 60,000 thoughts a day! I had never really thought about it before.

It was then that I realized just how important it is that we control our thoughts and use them to help us accomplish things in life.

Jack Canfield, Anthony Robbins, and other top personal development gurus also talk about how important it is that you have a positive mindset before you start trying to get somewhere in life!

Your thoughts are the #1 key for ultimate weight loss. Any negative thoughts will ruin any weight loss plan before you even start. So, use your positive thoughs to plan, set goals, and get it done!

What are your thoughts about using your positive thoughts and throwing out those self-defeating thoughts that are hindering your success? Leave me a comment below and let me know!

Otherwise, leave me a comment below and answer the question of the day: What is your favorite activity to do that gets you up and moving?

Take the Road Less Traveled of Healthy Living

Healthy Life No Responses »

Dec 072010

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
~ Robert Frost

I love that quote from Robert Frost. Doesn’t that entire poem paint an amazing mental picture and make you really feel you are in the woods having to make the choice?

What the heck does a great poem from American Literature have to do with a blog about healthy living?

Hold your horses! I’ll get there! I wanted to let you in on what that poem means to me and why it has made such a big impact on my life despite me recently graduating from school and entering the “real world”. So, watch the video below and then keep reading because this can have a huge impact on your health and your life.

As many of you know, I am a Registered Nurse. During nursing school, I got introduced to a big natural health news website (naturalnews.com -check it out!) by my mother who is also a Registered Nurse who is focused in on health promotion (not to the extent, dedication, and research amount that I am…don’t tell her I said that!).

Anyways, this site opened my eyes to what is really going on in the health world and what it really means to have a healthy lifestyle. This more and more I learned about natural health and the more and more I learned about the traditional medical system way in nursing school, the more and more I researched independently to find the truth.

I was amazed with what the research literature spelled out over and over in thousands of studies: the body has an innate healing capacityif you just give it the nutrients it needs and take care of it. Why wasn’t this taught in nursing school?

In nursing school, I was taught how to critically think and to practice “evidence-based medicine”, but in reality we were learning the information that drug companies, the FDA, USDA, and government wanted us to know about health.

I am not saying that we didn’t learn all the scientific based medicine, but it wasn’t the complete story. There wasn’t any focus on overall healthy living and the ability the body has to stay healthy when fed the right nutrients.

My fork in the road came when I chose to stop putting the junk in my body and leading a sedentary lifestyle and choose to get moving and eat a healthy diet focused on food such as fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and legumes.

My next fork in the road came when I was working the hospital and we were supposed to be making sick people well. However, the patients would just keep coming back. I didn’t feel I was making a difference and got burnt out real quick.

That’s when I had a choice to make: keep doing what was expected with me as a nurse or do what would give people the knowledge and support so they can actually get healthy and enjoy life!

I can tell you some people were not happy at my choice of leaving, I guess what could be considered the “corporate nursing world” and starting as a Certified RN Health Coach (a new emerging field) in order to give people unbiased health knowledge and support for their ultimate health success.

I came to two roads diverged in the woods, and I took the one less traveled by with my career choice and health behaviors and that has made a profound difference in my life!

I am here to help you regain your health.

What two roads have you come to?

60% of Americans are overweight.
20% of Americans are completely sedentary.
5% of Americans get regular exercise.
95% of Americans eat the S.A.D. (standard American diet)
90% think they eat a healthy diet.

All this has led to an increase in heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer, and digestive issues, etc.

Where do you fit in these statistics?

You are at a crossroads. What are you going to do about your health? The current healthy living recommendations by the government have only led to an increase in the poor health of Americans! I mean just look at the statistics above! We’ve got to do something about that!

Have you ever heard the definition of insanity? It is doing the same thing over and over and over again expecting different results. We need to get out of this insanity and start doing something different otherwise these statistics are only going to bet worse!

Take the road less traveled because it will make all the difference in the world!

If you have any health questions, feel free to leave me a comment below and let me know so I can answer it in a future “ask amber” video!

If you are ready to get out of the insanity that is currently your health status, but feel like you need a little support, check into getting a personal health coach. I offer free consultations.

Take the 12 Day Challenge: Look Great with the Lights ON!

Weight Loss 4 Responses »

Nov 302010

From the mailbag: What do you recommend for your clients wanting to lose weight?

Did you know that every Monday 10 million Americans go on a diet and the majority quit by Wednesday or Friday of that same week? Why can’t Americans stay on their diet? We have heard the statistics that over 60% of Americans are overweight and need to lose weight. So, why don’t diets work?

People get tired, irritable, hungry, frustrated, and just plain crazy!

How about this statistic: Americans are DRINKING up to half of their daily calories. This includes juice, coffee, soda, alcohol, energy drinks, etc.

What I recommend for my clients is to skip the dieting altogether!

WHAT?!?!?

You heard me right! Skip the diet! (Keep reading for an alternative)

There is no need for you to diet you just need to eat healthy. Most Americans think they eat healthy. However, most Americans eat the SAD, or standard American diet, which is absolutely pathetic! Not healthy! NOPE!

A healthy diet consists mainly of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains. This does not include processed foods and empty calories. White bread, white rice, and regular pasta are also off the healthy list.

These “not healthy” foods are foods that have been processed where there are pretty much no nutrients left in them! In white flour for instance, the nutrition has been stripped away so it can have a longer shelf life. Bugs and such won’t even go after it because there is no nutrition there! If bugs notice there are no nutrients, why do you still eat it? Alright, moving on…

You will probably give me all the excuses in the book of why you can’t eat healthy or why you need that coffee. I don’t want to hear it!

Or there is a weight loss shake that is actually healthy!

Suppress your appetite
Natural Energy
Feed your body with antioxidants to fight the free radicals that lead to cell damage and aging
Lower stress
Enhanced Mood
Ingredients to break down sugars before they are turned to fat, break down fats, and turn the fat into fuel to increase metabolism and calorie burn-off!
Helps you eat fewer calories!

There are not many products I do recommend. Many of you know how I feel about weight loss drinks, weight loss supplements, and energy drinks.

I don’t like them! They are evil!

Xowii Thin product line is the one weight loss drink and weight loss shake from a solid company that I actually can’t say anything bad about! I have some clients who have lost 10, 20, 50, and even 75 pounds using the products! The great thing is they are getting awesome nutrition and losing weight at the same time without giving up some of their favorite foods!

So, for those of you who asked about what I recommend for people to lose weight, I recommend:

Skipping the fad diets and instead researching proper nutrition; a great book is Eat to Live by Dr. Furhman. Eat healthy by increasing fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains and decreasing processed foods and decreasing animal products. When you are eating healthy, your body will find its naturally thin and healthy weight!

Or take the 12 day challenge with me so we can look great with the lights on!

I bet if you are anything like me, you prefer to spend your time around others when the lights are dimmed! We look better! Why would you want people to see your imperfections?

I know you would rather be out in the lights and still show off your great looking self! This is why I have a 12 day weight loss challenge! Look, you don’t have to deprive yourself of all the great holiday food but you can still lose weight! How could you pass that up? It doesn’t hardly cost anything I promise! I have a great deal set up for my faithful readers!

It’s only a 12 day challenge! Come on! All you have to lose is weight!

Look great with the lights on! Just visit the site and put your name, etc. in the space (its just me so you don’t have to worry about spam!) so you can watch the 5 minute video! It’s only a 5 minute video! Check it out!

In this video you will learn about getting started with the 12 day “How to Look Great with the Lights on” Challenge and how great a deal I have secured for my readers. One thing to add though is that I will be adding in a FREE 1hr HEALTH COACHING session to help you enjoy the holidays and still really lose the weight.

12 Day Weight Loss Challenge + 1hr FREE Coaching Session with me + FREE Weight loss products (ask me how) = ultimate cheap weight loss….cheaper (and more value! $139 to be exact) than you buying a weight loss book at Barnes and Noble!
