How Vitamin D Helps with Weight Loss and Diabetes

Today I'm going to tell you how Vitamin D can help you and about an amazing natural supplement designed specifically for diabetics.

Here's some interesting information on Vitamin D and Diabetes. Researchers are now finding that diabetics with low levels of Vitamin D may be more at risk for heart disease.

Because of these low levels of Vitamin D, certain white blood cells are allowed to adhere to the walls of the blood vessels. The blood is not allowed to flow because of a blockage in this case.

Vitamin D has been shown to boost the recovery of children when they are sick, improve development of the brain in babies, increase recovery of people with TB, and increase life expectancy of people with heart disease and diabetes.

That's not to mention the great benefits of Vitamin D in joint and bone health by helping maintain calcium at good levels.


My favorite source of Vitamin D is something called Osteo-fx PLUS. It has calcium, magnesium, and other great vitamins and minerals combined. I take it everyday.

You can grab some Osteo-fx PLUS here 

The most incredible supplement I have ever seen produced for diabetics is something called Sweet Eze.
Sweet Eze contains chromium, which has been clinically shown to promote healthy blood sugar levels. It also has these botanicals: gynmena leaf, jambul seed, bitter melon fruit, and cinnamon.

Sweet Eze is also part of a weight loss system program called Slender FX.

Weight Loss Shakes - Do It The Healthy Way!

Everyone wants an easy fix to weight loss. Weight loss shakes has been one of them. Many weight loss shakes are in a can so you can just grab them and go. That's a problem.

I know you want to lose weight but you are not putting nutrition into your body with those cheap weight loss shakes. Instead, you should make a delicious weight loss shake that is healthy for you.

You don't want to be taking in products that have artificial flavorings and other ingredients that are hazardous to your health. You do want to put into your body the right amount of fats, carbs, and proteins to help your metabolism burn your fat.

If you have looked at the blog, you know I am a huge fan of metabolic cooking. In Dave and Karine's Metabolic Cooking program, they have a specific cookbook called Metabolicious Smoothies. This has become my favorite part of the program.

I have a few recipes for my favorite smoothies or weight loss shakes here on the blog. In a nutshell, here is what I do. I put in some ice chips, almond milk, protein powder or Slender FX, Greek yogurt, stevia or Slimtevia, and some frozen fruit.

There may be a ingredient or two I may add depending on what I am making, but it is a great recipe for a delicious, weight loss shake. You will really enjoy it. While you are here, check out the recipes I've shared for Chocolate Banana and Blueberry Shakes.

How Weight Loss and Diabetes Affect You

How important is it to be aware of diabetes? My guess is that if you don't have diabetes, you know someone who does. Why do I say this?

1 in 3 American adults are projected to have diabetes by the year 2050.

Almost 26 million adults and children here in the U.S. do have diabetes.

You may be of 79 million Americans at risk for Type-2 diabetes.

Type-2 diabetes should not be expected, but prevented. We don't have to live like this and we should not accept this. You can make some simple lifestyle choices to avoid the dangers that come with diabetes.

When I make my smoothies, I use Slender Fx chocolate or vanilla mix in them. This is great for weight control and is a great and healthier substitute for normal protein powder.

I really want to emphasize how important this next item is. No one has ever developed a healthy supplement that helps prevent and reduce diabetes. Sweet Eze was designed to regulate blood sugar levels naturally.

Sweet Eze has vanadium, chromium, and supportive herbs to truly be able to help you with your blood sugar levels. By making some smart choices with your diet, including activity in your life, and using healthy supplements, you can avoid diabetes and other life changing diseases.

If you have been following the blog, you know that I really like to promote cooking and preparing your food to burn fat and keep you metabolism at an optimum level. You can check out metabolic cooking clicking here

Three Important Tips for Men’s Health and Fitness

These days, increasingly more men are interested in health and fitness programs. This is not surprising since most people are concerned about obesity and health conditions today such as diabetes, heart disease, prostate cancer and more.

These are more than enough reasons to motivate anyone to get into good shape. Today you’ll discover the three main reasons for success in men’s health and fitness. 

There is no easy and quick way for you to get in good shape, so you must be prepared to put in the time and effort to achieve the desired results. A combination of a healthy diet, strength training and cardio exercises will go a long way towards your overall fitness.

Follow these tips to lose weight and stay fit:

1. Keep a Training Log: If you are really serious about fitness, you need to keep a record of all workout activities to monitor your progress. Write down the exercises for each workout session, along with the amount of weight that you want to lose.

Next, make a note of the amount of repetitions that was done after every exercise. This information will help you to see which areas you need to improve on. A good recommendation is to increase your weight lifting activities after reaching your weight goals.

2. Training Sessions: When designing your exercise workouts, you should add weight lifting for at least 3 times weekly. This will help you to get the best results from your training sessions.

These workouts can encourage muscle growth. The idea is to lift weights 3 to 4 times weekly so that your muscles will rebuild and grow constantly. Keep in mind that your muscles will return to their original size if they are not under constant pressure to grow.

3. Eat Lots of Protein: When compared to women, it is much easier for men to lose weight. For this reason, men’s health and fitness programs always recommend lots of protein for proper muscle recovery and growth.

In general, men who are working out 4 or more times each week must eat about one gram of protein on those days for each pound of body weight. It’s also important to eat meals with 0.25 grams of protein right after each workout.

If possible, try to eat thirty minutes after a rigorous workout because your body will need some high-quality protein to recover fully. The best way to build muscles is to add proteins that can break down easily into amino acids. Some of the sources for high-quality protein include eggs, whey and chicken breasts.

Hopefully, these simple men’s fitness tips for will help you achieve your goals. As long as you are motivated, you can get in good shape and maintain a healthier lifestyle.

I encourage people to eat better and workout smarter. Check out our metabolic cooking to speed up your fat burning with what you eat and learn how to cut your workout time and increase your results by clicking here.

Best of luck with your fitness goals,

Weight Loss Advice for the Couch Potato.

Couch Potato.

We've all heard the term. You sit on your couch, watch tv, eat.
The thing is, you not only just sit there like a lump, like a potato,
you start to look like one too!

You may go to work and sit doing a desk job all day long. Then what?
You are probably mentally tired and you come home to rest from your
long day.

What do you do? You sit down and veg out. You don't move and when you
don't move, you start to lose your muscle and you don't feed your body.

My physical therapist friends have a saying. Motion is lotion.

What can you do?

Take a walk. Play a game with your kids, basketball,
soccer, anything active. Take your dog for a walk. Garden. Shovel some
snow. Take a walk around the mall.

It doesn't matter what you do, it's what you don't. Don't sit around
all of the time. Take action. Just do something simple. Your body will
thank you.

Start a simple exercise program and work up to a more rigorous routine
as you are ready.

The best program I know for this is 7 Minute Muscle. I use the warmup
routine for 3 minutes, focus on one body part 5 days a week for 7 minutes,
then I do 9 minutes of cardio.

If you are counting, that's 19 minutes. In the time it takes me to get dressed
into exercise clothes and back out, I am only spending 30 minutes a day on
exercise.

Mens Fitness Today

For most men, the urge to maintain their fitness has been a primary motivator for them to remain physically active in sports, weight training or ensuring that they get their weekly quota of work out sessions.

Today more and more men are leaving the comforts of their home and getting into the gym for a well orchestrated and disciplined work out in consultation with the instructor at the gym. 

This trend has also been helped by the fact that many of the gyms have reduced their rates to get in serious members who will continue with them and not drop off midway through.

So how are men working out at these gyms?

Bench pressing and treadmill running along with weight training remain the preferred activities. 

However, cycling and yoga training too are being demanded by many men due to the fact that these activities help them to maintain their body suppleness, helps them meet their cardio workout regimen and also provides them with mental peace.

It must be said here that each individual is different and needs to work out his or own structure of exercises for maintaining their fitness. Men's fitness routines can never be the same for everybody. 

While some would like to just run or take a brisk walk, others would hit the gym to build muscle specifically and concentrate on getting that part right.

Exercise broadly can be split into categories of aerobic, anaerobic and flexibility heads.

The aerobic exercises are for building endurance and stamina through activities like brisk walking, cycling, swimming and running. The anaerobic ones are where you use weights as well as intersperse high intensity training in short bursts to acquire quick muscles.

Flexibility exercises are for building suppleness through stretching.

The crucial aspect is to get the balance right between all these three. There is no great benefit acquired in concentrating on only one of them if you have to maintain your fitness.

Moreover, they are also interlinked and complement each other perfectly. Hence men's fitness programs are often a combination of all the three structured such that equal attention and time are given to each of them.

You need to shed fat and at the same time build muscle so that you do not end up looking too weak. Working out the correct balance between cardio workouts and anaerobic exercises is therefore most essential.

Men's fitness programs are also being structured such that there is no boredom creeping in and members are able to sustain their enthusiasm for a long time.

I utilize a unique system which allows me to do a total workout in just 30 minutes each day. I use 3 minutes for warm up exercises, 7 minutes targeting a different body part each day, and 9 minutes of cardio.

Discover the smarter and healthier ways to achieve your goals with men's fitness programs designed for you. You can learn more on my website, The Ideal Fitness program for Men by clicking here

Help with Weight Loss

The biggest recommendation I have to help with weight loss is to prevent yourself from making a bad decision. That's easy to say, but how do you do it?

How do I not become a victim to my bad hunger decisions? Like anything else you need to do to accomplish something, it takes a little planning.

Here are my biggest excuses:
I didn't have time to do it.
I woke up too late to get ready and I don't have a lunch.
I forgot my lunch (excuse or denial?).

When you let yourself win the excuse battle and not the planning and take charge battle, not only will your waistline suffer, but so will your overall health.

A doctor asked me, "Do you know why some third world countries have people that live longer and healthier than we do?" His answer was,"They don't have roads to build the fast food drive-thrus."

While this is funny, it is true. We fall victim to the fast food trap and put all kinds of bad stuff in our bodies by doing so.

When you focus on your decisions to make good choices on food, you won't have any excuses. And your health will improve.

First, do you have junk food in the house? Guess what? If you do, you're going to eat it. Get rid of the bad food.

Second, take a day that's an off day for you. If you work during the week, take a weekend day. If you have a day off during the week, use that.

On your off day, cut up vegetables, cook up some meat, and plan your meals for the week so you don't have to worry about what is for dinner or not having time to prepare it. That way you can just grab your meat, put your vegies together with it, and you've got a meal.

What's the saying? A failure to plan is a plan to fail.

Another thing I have written about is to have a snack list on the fridge. That way you don't say to yourself, "Man, I'm hungry. What's in the fridge?" Then you stare in the fridge for awhile trying to figure out what you want.

I may have some fruit on hand for a treat. I'll put grapes, bananas, or apples on the list. I probably have my favorite nut mix around, pistachios, almonds, and cashews. If I have cut up some celery on my off day, I can grab some natural nut butter and have it with my celery sticks.

I could have a little dark chocolate for a treat. Click here for my favorite: healthy chocolate.
I might scramble up an egg or slice up an avocado.

I also make my own protein bars. I got the idea from Karine Losier. They are healthy and don't have all of those preservatives that can kill you. Plus they're yummy.

Karine, or better known as the Lean Kitchen Queen, has a great program called Metabolic Cooking. I have several cookbooks that came in a package from her very inexpensively.

She will even plan out your meal program for you if you like. That takes all of the guess work out of it.
You can find her great fat loss cooking program here: Metabolic Cooking.

So remember to plan and you'll be planning for your health.
I hope you enjoyed these tips to help with weight loss,

7 Ways You Can Have Fast Weight Loss

Don't fall for the latest and greatest diet you see with your favorite celebrity on a magazine cover. See how the stars lose weight by....

Did you know those diets work? They work for maybe two weeks.

But they also put your health at risk.

After losing a couple of pounds, your body will end up craving food. You usually put on more weight with these diets.

Your body will have been in starvation mode for a few weeks and be telling you,"Man, I'm hungry. I really have to eat!" Most people not only put that fat back on, but they put even more weight on than they begin with!

You can now learn 7 ways you can fast weight loss and stay healthy.

1. Quit drinking diet soda. Obesity and diet soda have been demonstrated in research studies. Most diet sodas are sweetened with aspartame and others have other sweeteners like sucralose.

An artificial sweetener can make you feel like you haven't had much to eat. You then feel hungry and eat even more. You can also eat more because you tell yourself you just had a diet soda.

Artificial sweeteners have been linked to tumors. They can kill the good flora in your gut you need for digestion.

2.Choose a better drink. Water is a healthy choice of drink. Water is good for several reasons.

For one thing water fills you up and for another, it helps cleanse your body. Sobe Lifewater was recommended to me as a great zero calorie alternative.

3. Stop drinking juice. Drinking fruit juice isn't the healthy choice you think it is. It can be a fast track to diabetes because of the natural sugar. It's not uncommon to find almost 40 grams of sugar in just 8 ounces in some juices.

4. Whole wheat should be cut out too. It's difficult to find 100% whole wheat without reading the label. I read a good tip on replacing whole wheat with sprouted grains.

5. Decrease your dairy. Packing in the dairy means packing on the pounds. Almond milk can be really good. By getting rid of the dairy, you also get rid of 1/3 of your calories plus the bloating.

6. The number one thing you can do to lose weight fast is to eat whole foods and not any food in a box. When you grab fresh food you feel better and want to eat some more.

Include more vegetables than fruits. Fruit, like juice, has a lot of sugar content, so you should eat it sparingly.

7. If you are coming over here from an article site, this is my #7 recommendation to lose weight fast with my list of fat loss foods!

Eat six small meals throughout the day and include protein in each one. This will jump start your metabolism and it will start burning calories for you.

Fat Loss Foods. Include these foods in your diet and you will be helping your metabolism burn some fat!


Berries, Plain Greek Yogurt, Protein powder (I use those three in smoothies, check the blog!).
Cinnamon, Stevia - or better yet, Slimtevia, it doesn't have the bitter aftertaste.
White turkey meat, Salmon, Chicken, and lean red meats
Beans, Peas, Corn on the cob, Potatoes
Apples, Dried pears, and figs
and don't forget other foods with potassium like:
White mushrooms, white beans, dried apricots, and bananas.
