Did you know that most people are addicted to foods due to the chemicals and additives that are added to foods? Did you know that sugar is more addictive than cocaine? Are you ready to beat your addiction and take back your health? If you answered yes read on...

Great news, if you are like me and enjoy food and how it tastes then you want to review the recipe section above or reach out for one of the meal plans. You are going to discover the recipes on our website have been tested and are hubby approved. No more diet food for you and another meal for them. You can all enjoy the same meal, it tastes great and they won't even know it's good for them!

Our program is based on lifestyle changes and we focus on recipes that taste great and focus on these 4 strategies:

Balancing blood sugars
Reducing Inflammation
Detoxification &
Resetting Hormones

But we also have another secret weight-loss weapon and everyone has access to it but most people don't know about it.

Eating slowly and mindfully may be the single most powerful habit for driving a major transformation. It is a simple way anyone can start losing weight and feeling better immediately (like after your first slow-eaten meal)

Don't believe me, a study, done by researchers at the University of Rhode Island served the same pasta lunch to 30 normal-weight women on two different days. At both meals, participants were told to eat until comfortably full.

But they were also told:

Lunch 1: Eat this meal as fast as you can.
Lunch 2: Eat slowly and put your utensils down between every bite.

The results:

When eating quickly, women consumed 646 calories in 9 minutes.
When eating slowly, they consumed 579 calories in 29 minutes.

So in 20 more minutes, the slow-eaters ate 67 fewer calories. What’s more, it also took them longer to feel hungry afterward compared to when they were speeding through their lunch. Imagine using this simple strategy for 30 days along with our program, your health would improve and your fat would melt away without feeling deprived.

Why does eating this way help us with weight loss?

Reason 1: Physiology. One reason that many of us are not at a healthy weight is that, somewhere along the line, we stopped listening to the body signals that naturally tell us when we're hungry and when we're full. Additives and chemicals in foods can actually turn off our body’s hormonal systems that tell us when we are full and that is why we need to do these resets. Once you have reset your hormones and overcome your food addictions your metabolism and your body's satiety signals will go back to normal. It takes about 20 minutes for your body satiety signals this to kick in. Slow eating gives the system time to work, allowing you to better sense when you’ve had enough.

Reason 2: Psychology. When you pay attention to how food affects you, you will feel less deprived when you avoid those foods that have made you sick and overweight. Our program helps you look and feel great!

My challenge today is to try our meal plans and recipes for a week or join our group for support, eat your meals slowly and mindfully, and pay attention to how you feel. I also recommend a food journal for 2 weeks, or longer if you need to. Write down not only when and what you eat but also what you were doing and feeling before you started eating.

Using the hunger scale below, write down where you were on the scale before you ate and where you were afterward. When you look back at your food journal, you may see some eating patterns. For example, you may find that you almost always eat dinner in front of the TV. You may find that you always eat an evening snack, even when you're not hungry. You may find that you often snack when you "feel" like you want to eat (because of boredom, stress, or some other emotion), but you're not truly hungry.

A hunger scale can help you learn how to tell the difference between true, physical hunger, and hunger that's really just in your head. When you feel hungry even though you recently ate, check to see if what you're feeling is really a craving brought on by something psychological. When you start feeling like you want something to eat, rate your hunger on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being starving and 10 being so full you feel sick. A rating of 5 or 6 means you're comfortable—neither too hungry nor too full.

To eat naturally, the way a baby does, eat when your hunger is at 3 or 4. Don't wait until your hunger gets down to 1 or 2. Getting too hungry can lead to overeating. When you sit down to a scheduled meal, stop, and think how hungry you are. If you feel less hungry than usual, make a conscious effort to eat less food than usual. Stop eating when you reach 5 or 6 on the scale.
