3. All about your MEAL PLAN adjustments [and how to fix slow fat loss]

Ever followed a diet to a “T” and all of a sudden noticed that you stopped losing fat and you don’t know what to do? This is called the Metabolic Adaptation Phenomenon.

Metabolic Adaptation Phenomenon: this occurs at the point  on your diet plan where your body clearly knows precisely what it’s getting  in terms of food intake and has fully adapted to that.

When it reaches this state, that’s when fat loss comes to a screeching halt. The Metabolic Adaptation Phenomenon is a frustrating time for any dieter because this is the point where the body has fully adapted to the food intake you’re feeding it and slows the metabolism down to match it.

When the metabolism slows down, now you’ll be burning off just as many calories as you consumed through the diet, hence fat loss will come to a halt. In order to get around the Metabolic Adaptation Phenomenon, you’ll have to vary your nutrient intakes regularly, shocking the body as time goes on.This keeps it guessing as to what’s coming next and ensures your  metabolism stays on high at all times.

And what’s the best way to do it?

The solution is to have a wide range of fat loss recipes at your fingertips makes avoiding this frustrating condition a breeze!

Karine Losier and Dave Ruel, authors of Metabolic Cooking, designed their series of cookbooks to solve this frustrating phenomenon from ever occurring by using strategic nutrition profiling systems to easily identify which nutrients to rotate to “trick” the body and avoid adaption responses.

They have been using this for a long time with their clients, and results don’t lie!

If you struggle with plateaus related to nutrition, go over to their page right now and read up on their #1 selling fat loss cookbook series Metabolic Cooking.

Start Your Own Home Business

How would you like to own your own business?

A business that is in a huge and rapidly growing market segment, with millions of willing buyers?

A business that is fun and that WILL make you some money?

A business that you can run from your computer, in your living room, or even the bedroom…and which can grow into a global business for you, operating in over 100 countries.

Well, read on and learn how you can soon have your own business set up and growing rapidly. Even if you have NEVER owned or run a business before.

BUT:  There has to be a but. This is NOT a get-rich-quick scheme. The more effort you put in, the more money you will be able to take out. So, let’s get started.

10 Steps To Success

10 Keys to start a business from home

If you want a successful Online Business, here are 10 Key Ingredients that you will need.

1. You must have a positive Mind Set. Believe you can do it.

2. You must have a good Product you can promote.

3. You need to get Traffic, or visitors to view your product offering.

4. You should aim to build a List of Prospects and customers and build a relationship with that list.

5. You should look for Coaching, or someone who has done it before, to be your mentor. This business-in-a-box will offer you coaching and help to get started.

6. You need Education on the various aspects of online marketing. Again, you will find help always at hand.

7. You will need Basic Technical Skills… but often it is just cut and paste that is required. And more often it is just the click of a mouse.

8. You need an Autoresponder so that you can have emails sent to people on your list.

9. You need Hosting for your website. In this business offering, you will get your websites done for you, AND hosted for you.

10. You also need a Payment Processor, so that when people want to pay you for your product, that is taken care of for you. I use Paypal…..and so will you.

This Home Business-In-A-Box will address all 10 of these key ingredients.

How is your Mindset? 

Well, the fact that you are reading this means you want your own business and are ready to rumble. This business is easy-peasy so as they say in the classics “JUST DO IT!”

What about the Product?

Share the Apps

This business actually includes a number of products, many of which you will want to use yourself. And the products are all in the rapidly growing niche that more and more people want and use, and pay Billions of dollars each year for.

I am talking about APPS for smart phones, tablets and other hand held devices. Over 10 million apps are downloaded every month, globally.

Initially the products you will offer are in the areas of Personal Development (a huge global market) , Health and Wellness (another HUGE global market) and  Gamification (or fun apps – an even bigger market). More and more apps will be offered to you in future, as your home business grows. An exciting new product that will be launched in May is iLA Tax Shield, an app that EVERY self-employed person will want – it will help them SAVE TAX and make it easier to collect all their tax details together – on their phone…. Brilliant I say!

How will I get Traffic?

That will be shown to you as you start to learn about this business-in-a box opportunity. Your business will provide you with 2 websites of your own, fully functional and hosted for you…. so all you will need to do is share your websites with friends. Remember your products are apps, and people love to hear about new apps.

What about Prospects and Customers?

Your websites will automatically  send you prospects and convert them into customers. More on that later.

Will I have a Coach?

You will have guidance all the way, by some of the app industry and internet marketing industry’s top experts.

How about ongoing Education?

What is amazing about this business package is that there are videos on all the aspects of this business that you can watch and learn. And they are always being updated.

What technical skills will I need?

If you can send emails online and cut and paste, then that is all you will need to know. The websites are all developed for you. And as I say, they are hosted for free and where necessary, the Autoresponders (these are automatic emails that are sent back to people who express interest in your business) are all built in too.

But I hear you asking…..”With all that you are telling me here, what will this cost me?”

Any business of any worth will cost money to set up and to run. Nothing comes for nothing. But I believe this business is within the reach of anyone and everyone who really wants a business of their own, that they can run from their home and that will make them some money….and by some money I mean lots of money (again, the more effort you put in, the more money you will be able to take out).

To set up your business and to run it will cost you $20 per month. How does that sound? There will be the odd expense in the future (such as you may choose to buy a fully functional website for $50 for one of the apps, but that is not essential). You will receive 2 free websites for your $20 per month anyway.

And the beauty of this is that for your $20 per month, you receive all three products for you to use as well. And once your business is up and running and you have brought in some clients, even the $20 per month will be covered.

Level 9 Quality Of Life App:

Quality Of Life App

This business is similar to the iLA business but the app is aimed at a very different market. This app will bring to your phone daily updates on the current health issues, lifestyle issues, money issues and much more. It will give you your own travel company, so you can earn commissions on your and your family travel….and more still to be announced. You can build your own global business for just $9.95 monthly investment for the first of its kind cell phone app. This investment also gives you a fully fledged business with your own website already developed for you. This app will be one of the most subscribed to apps in the world, in 2013 and beyond. It went into pre-launch on 1 April, so it is a good time to get in now.

Rippln – THE Gamification App:

When I first found this business opportunity recently, I realised where the new online based home business trend was going. We all love to play games, to compete, to earn points and beat our friends, be it with Angry Birds, Candy Crush Saga or whatever. This business is currently FREE to play, but if you choose, it will give you your own website for a once off investment of just $49.99. There are NO monthly fees at this first phase, and you can start to share in the expected Billions of dollars that will be spent on game apps in 2013 and beyond. This app was launched in Mid April and already over 200,000 people have downloaded it.

What Else Is In The Box?

To make it even easier for you to start and grow your business, there are 3 bonus sites that you will get access to, to help you with your new App Business.

1. A Lifestyle App Facebook Group that you will join, where you will learn more on how to run your App business.

2. Two social media sites that you can follow and share with your friends and customers, and contribute to, as you grow your business. Have a look at them here:

Internet Marketing Network

Money In Apps

So there you have it. Now YOU can start to own, run and profit from your very own APP business. Please leave a comment or question below and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Stop The Ageing Process

Brace yourself. I am about to make your day.

You want to lose weight or get fitter, or even stress less, cos you want to look your best, don’t you?

And also cos you want to slow down the ageing process and look younger, longer…….

Well,  I’m going to tell you about 6 “star” foods that are not only positively scrumptious, but actually have anti-ageing properties as well.

Now, don’t start dreaming and hoping that Krispy Kreme is the secret to everlasting life. Alas, doughnuts are not on the list; however, these six foods are definitely WAY up there on most people’s “yummy” metre.

You younger guys and gals might be thinking, “Who cares? I’m only 25. Why should I care about anti-ageing?”

The answer: You’d better care. Because you are ageing right NOW.  And probably quicker than you think…

You start ageing from your 20′s

Even in your 20′s and 30′s your body starts to show signs of ageing. Gray hairs appear. Lines form on your face. Little aches and pains creep up that “grow up” into arthritis or fibromyalgia.

And your arteries begin getting the wear and tear that eventually can become atherosclerosis, leading to a stroke or heart attack.

So to be able to have a little fountain of youth on a plate that not only helps fight the aging process at ANY age but also tastes sinfully delicious is, well, having your cake and eating it too.

Without further ado, here are the…

6 Anti-Aging “Stars”

1) Wild Alaskan Salmon

Wild Alaskan salmon is one of the best sources of omega-3 essential fatty acids in the world, helping to reverse the chronically imbalanced omega-6 to omega-3 ratios that most people have today.

Omega-3 EFAs are essential for heart and brain health, circulation, memory and control of blood sugar. They’re also a natural anti-inflammatory and help to fight inflammation-related conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia.

Salmon also is a great source of protein, potassium, vitamin B12, niacin and the anti-cancer trace mineral selenium (which has been shown to help reduce breast cancer risk).

2) Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Extra virgin olive oil is very high in phenols, which are potent antioxidants. It is also a heart-healthy monounsaturated fat that helps improve your HDL/LDL cholesterol ratio.

Studies of a Mediterranean-type diet have shown that consumption of olive oil is associated with a reduction in mortality of people with heart disease as well as lowering blood pressure.

Research also shows that olive oil may help protect against colon cancer and bowel cancer. You can use it in salad dressings and it’s a great choice for cooking, too.

3) Almonds

Raw (not roasted) almonds are an excellent source of “good” monounsaturated fat, which not only helps lower bad cholesterol but is associated with lower levels of heart disease and cancer, as well as longer life spans.

Almonds also contain protein, fiber and calcium, as well as phosphorus, vitamin E and magnesium. And since they contain no carbohydrates, they’re perfect for diabetics.

4) Blueberries

Blueberries are both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, and help to fight and prevent major serious diseases including Parkinson’s, cancer, heart disease, diabetes and arthritis.

Beneficial plant compounds in blueberries called polyphenols help strengthen memory and slow or prevent the decreased coordination and balance associated with advancing age.

They can also help lower blood cholesterol, encourage urinary health and protect against glaucoma and cataracts.

5) Red wine

Moderate consumption of red wine (1-2 glasses per day) not only helps reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, but red wine also has one of the highest phenol contents of any food or drink.

(I know many of you just breathed a sigh of relief.)

Phenols are food for the beneficial bacteria (probiotics) in your gut, which can keep your immune system strong to help fight diseases like cancer.

Now remember that any form of alcohol in excess is NOT good for your health, so strive to keep it red and keep it moderate.
And the ultimate dream come true for many (including yours truly):

6) Dark chocolate

Dark chocolate and dark cocoa powder are excellent sources of probiotic-nourishing dietary phenols. (Skip the milk chocolate because its processing decreases the phenol content.)

The higher the cocoa content, the higher the phenols.

Cocoa is also rich in flavanols that help preserve the health of your blood vessels. Maintaining healthy, elastic blood vessels lowers your risk of high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and dementia.

Lose Weight with these 101 Foods

Now, this is not an invitation to make Godiva, Lindt, Nestle’s and Hershey’s your 4 new food groups… but an occasional treat of a nice piece of dark chocolate will make your tongue dance AND help fight the effects of aging.

I talk about these 6 anti-ageing foods and 95 others in my book How To L0se Weight With These 101 Foods. Why not check it out now!

**********

So there you have them — the 6 Anti-Ageing Stars.

But remember the most important part: If you combine these with the wrong other foods, you can turn these anti-aging dynamos into age accelerating, disease-creating monsters!

Learn not only what to eat, but what to eat TOGETHER. THAT’S the ticket to real lasting health and slowing down the effects of aging.

The manuals in the Great Taste No Pain Digestive Health System will show you everything you need to know. The manual “What To Eat With What” spells out exactly what you should have with your favorite foods to keep digestion smooth and efficient.

“Foods That Create Acid, Foods That Take It Away” explains the dangers of excess acid wastes in your body and how they contribute to rapid aging and disease, as well as shows you which foods are acid-forming vs. alkaline.

And of course, the paint-by-numbers Quick-Start Guide, “Pain-Free In 1 Day” will get you started instantly without you having to learn a thing.

And the GTNP recipe book is loaded with spectacular yet easy to prepare dishes (including great recipes using the Anti-Ageing Stars above) that will make you feel like you’re dining in the finest restaurants–right in your own home.

So here’s to a youthful, fit and happy You!

IT’S TIME TO RIPPLE

The Game Is On!

You are stressed – too much happening at work and at home…and your finances are tight.

You can’t lose the pounds you want to lose, to look your best..

You are struggling to get to the gym each day and are not as fit as you would like to be.

Eliminate Trans Fats To Lose Weight

Trans fats are artificial fats, otherwise known as partially hydrogenated fats. They can be found in foods to prolong shelf life, taste better, and give an overall more solidified form to the food.

These are the dirty little critters that jump into our bodies by a range of carefully disguised junk foods on today’s market such as; doughnuts, French fries, biscuits, and other snack like foods. These fats are detrimental to your health, and the balancing act of fats in your body.

Trans fats otherwise known as trans-fatty acids are artificially designed molecules that find their way into foods via mass production, and flavour and shelf life enhancement. Not only do they add to the bad cholesterol that builds up in your system but they also destroy the good.

At a cellular level this sounds more like the elimination of all those good omega-3 fatty acids, of which you already try to include in abundance where possible. Given the inflammatory response to trans fats the body swells, and withholds water, and ultimately leads the way to a fatter, less lean, grouchier, more depressed, and less chiseled you!

Energy alterations noted by research done abroad universities across the US and noted in ‘Trans Fat Consumption and aggression,’ show established links to mental health disorders such as depression and aggression specifically. This fully supports the notion of food and mood, outward and inward image of ourselves, and perhaps a small reflection of society’s incredibly fast development in technology and hence food modification.

Governments are starting to take small actions to provide labeling for such foods with trans fats, but this does not necessarily disclose that all trans fats will be accounted for as there are so many of them that are partially and fully hydrogenated. In order to avoid trans fats in your day to day eating make friends with the nutrition panel, stick to home cooked food, and adopt a somewhat Paleolithic approach to food.

Besides, who doesn’t’ want to learn how to eat all those wicked home baked goods such as muffins, brownies, cookies and beyond! Get googling for brilliant Paleo friendly foods, and organic and wild meat providers that sell animals that have been farmed accordingly, and support healthy levels of fat in their product. Take a look here for delicious healthy recipes and hunt down your local or nearest organic or free range meat market and have free-rein with your food.

Taking a relatively high dose of fish oil on a daily basis in the range of 4-10grams, with a high concentration of EPA and DHA will also support healthier fat levels.  Fish oil has also been known to boost cellular and cognitive function, and healthy utilization of fats in the body.

Eliminating Trans fats will nullify a big threat to your immunity, and see you feeling and looking better than ever. Make the change, and avoid to the best of your ability all of those danger foods, and get the right ‘fat’ and a better, happier you.

Stop Stress Naturally

Stress affects more and more people in our modern fast paced lifestyle and stress can cause a whole slew of physical effects in your body that you might not even be aware of.

Here’s why that is so ….

….the physical effects of stress are caused by the effective work of the two “Stress Players”:

Stress Player #1- The stress hormones

When your nervous system picks up signs of emotional or mental distress, it signals for the release of stress hormones (including adrenaline and cortisol).

These hormones put your body in “fight or flight” mode, and this is a reflection of our biological programming.

You see, back in our Paleolithic days our stresses were more physical in nature (fighting off animals who wanted us for dinner or fierce rival tribes), so our bodies needed to generate quick energy as soon as stress occurred. As a result, when the stress hormones were released, our caveman bodies made stored glucose available for energy by dumping it into the bloodstream.

Although most of our stresses are now more emotional or mental in nature (like working 10-12 hour days), our bodies still react the same way. And the problem is, our stresses are no longer just temporary and short-term. Instead many people are stressed day in and day out, and this can be especially harmful.

Chronic, continuous stress over time causes repeated infusions of stress hormones in your system, which can eventually lead to conditions like headaches, high blood pressure and digestive disorders (like IBS).

Stress Player #2- Chemical messengers

When under stress, your body releases special chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters speed to different areas of your body and cause various chemical and physical reactions.

That’s why your heart rate increases when you’re scared or you get shaky or a stomach ache when you’re nervous.

How the 2 stress players taunt your immune system

Manage Your Stress

One of the biggest problems caused by consistently high levels of stress hormones and neurotransmitters is that they harm your gut flora, where 70% of your immune system happens to reside.

For example, strains of the harmful bacteria E. coli grow faster in an environment that contains the stress hormones adrenaline or norepinephrine (noradrenaline).

In addition, scientists believe that when we’re stressed, our nervous system “talks” to our gut microbes, telling certain (harmful) ones to multiply and other (beneficial) ones to limit their growth.

Having a greater concentration of harmful bacteria in your intestines makes you more susceptible to bacterial infections and viruses of all types.

This happens for two reasons:

1- You now don’t have enough beneficial bacteria to fight off the dangerous pathogens you ingest.

2- The harmful bacteria have eaten away at your gut wall and made it porous, so dangerous toxins can now seep out and travel all through your body, making you ill (also known as leaky gut).

If you suffer from bronchitis every busy season…. it may be because your poor gut flora can’t bounce back from the onslaught of stress. This can make you  a prime candidate for infections.

Plus, having more harmful bacteria in the gut also affects your immune system’s regulatory T cells. That means your immune system may be less effective, leading to increased inflammation (and pain) all over your body.

And heaven help you if you do get sick and take antibiotics. While they will certainly help kill your infection, they’ll also cause the bacterial imbalance in your gut to even further out of whack…

…which means that you’re likely to get sick AGAIN very soon.

Help your body naturally fight stress

Stress can strike anyone at any time. Although classic stress-filled events include the holidays, a death in the family, college exams, loss of a job, financial difficulties or relationship problems, stresses can pop up unexpectedly for ANYONE.

So it’s essential to keep your gut flora balanced every day, all year long, to counteract the effects of stress and keep you feeling good 24/7.

Luckily, it’s very easy to do with these 2 steps:

1) Supplement with a high-quality probiotic

Manage your Anxiety Naturally

Super Shield multi-strain probiotic formula is your ticket here. Super Shield contains 13 strains of potent, effective beneficial bacteria that reside in the human digestive tract. These good guys line the walls of your intestines like an army, ready to fight off dangerous invaders.

They compete with the harmful bacteria for territory on your gut wall, crowding the bad guys and starving them.

They also help strengthen the gut wall, so toxins are less likely to leak out and cause illness.

Plus, Super Shield helps make your digestion more efficient… which can mean less gas, bloating, heartburn and other digestive troubles.
2) Support your healthy microbes with a proper diet

Nothing can undo a strong population of beneficial gut bacteria faster and easier than a diet loaded with processed food, fast food, refined carbs and soda. Harmful bacteria nourish themselves on foods like these and multiply lightning fast–eventually crowding out the good guys and leaving you FAR more susceptible to illness.

In the Great Taste No Pain system, Sherry Brescia explains ALL the health dangers of the typical modern diet, shows you how to structure delicious meals that help nourish the friendly microbes in your gut, and even gives you 112 of her most prized recipes. Believe me, you’ll see there’s nothing bland or boring about eating for great health once you taste her recipes!

And here’s even better news: Once you begin to enjoy the taste of REAL foods, you’ll likely lose your taste for the fast, processed junk and refined carbs.

Not only is that good news for your gut microbes, but it will likely mean you’ll drop excess pounds without even TRYING! Talk about a nice bonus!

The bottom line

The bottom line is this — stress is everywhere in our world and it’s not going away any time soon. Sooner or later stress WILL end up affecting you and your health.

It’s not a matter of if, but when, my friend.

But with the winning team of Super Shield and Great Taste No Pain you can help encourage a strong intestinal flora balance and a feeling-good YOU, 365 days a year.

Fat loss vs Weight loss.

The terms ‘fat loss’ and ‘weight loss’ often get used interchangeably, but they shouldn’t.

If you lose a pound of fat, then technically you should weigh a pound less. This however is hard to detect if your daily water fluctuation and the amount of food and drinks you have in your body can be as much as 5 to 7 lbs in any given day.

If you just drink a few glasses of water you will easily be a pound heavier due to the extra water weight added to your body. Eating a big meal can easily add 3 to 5 pounds of weight to your body while you’re digesting and assimilating the food. These are temporary gains in bodyweight and do not necessarily mean you’ve gained body mass be it fat or muscle. It’s really just food in your gut.

Understanding that your daily body ‘weight’ can fluctuate by 3 to 5 pounds just from the weight of the food you have eaten,  it’s not surprising that you may not really be able to detect a 1 pound decrease in fat mass. At least not detectly on a scale.

Also when you have a significant amount of fat to lose (in excess of 40lbs) you’re body will be carrying excess water along with the excess fat. This means that if and when you decide to start cutting fat you will experience a ‘weight’ loss that exceeds your actual ‘fat’ loss. As you lose body fat you will also lose a certain amount of excess water retention. This is a good thing as excess water makes you look smooth and bloated and it takes away from your muscular definition.

It’s typical for someone to lose twice as much ‘weight’ as ‘fat’ in the initial stages of a fat loss cut down. Someone who needs to drop 40lbs will likely see a big weight loss at the beginning. It’s a good bet that in the first 2-4 weeks at least 50% of the ‘weight’ that is coming off is water, the rest is actual fat. This higher ratio of weight loss to fat loss starts to drop as you get to lower body fat percentages.

It seems that as you drop below 15% body fat you can assume that most of the actual weight you lose is due purely to fat loss.

Fat loss, or weight loss?

Finally when you’re close to 10% body fat or lower you may notice that you get visibly leaner and can lose fat without seeing your bodyweight change much at all. At this final stage you will be lean enough that even minor changes in fat levels will make a difference on your visible definition. These changes will be proportionally small when it comes to measurable weight, however the changes they make to your visible definition will be big.

It’s true that losing 1 pound of fat when you’re body fat is 25% will not even be noticeable, however losing a full pound of fat when your body fat is 10% will make a dramatic difference in your look even if the scale doesn’t budge at all.

Finally your muscle hydration and weight training status will also change how full and heavy your muscles are on a day to day basis. Having fully hydrated and glycogen loaded muscles can dramatically increase your bodyweight, even if it only lasts for a day or two. This ability of your muscles to swell with water, nutrients and glycogen can also throw off your measurement of fat loss vs weight loss. When you’re very lean you can actually lose fat, and even gain weight at the same time. These likely won’t be huge swings but it’s definitely possible.

So to summarise:

Manage your fat loss

You can you lose fat without losing weight.

You can even gain weight while losing fat.

If you have lots of fat to lose, you’ll start out by losing significantly more weight than is accounted for by fat due to a reduction in water retention…this is a good thing.

When you’re approaching 10% body fat and attempting to cut even lower you will likely get leaner without seeing much of a change in bodyweight.  (this odd effect is partly why people think the last 10 pounds are harder to lose.)

In reality they’re still losing fat but the total amount of weight that is coming off starts to slow down.
