When on a weight loss mission what you REALLY wanna do is lose #FAT and keep your muscles. There’s this thing called KETOSIS that happens when the body burns fat quickly. The idea being that your body uses your stored fat for fuel instead of the food you eat. Basically if you’re in #ketosis you’re likely 100% in fat-burning mode. I gotta say its super freakin cool! I have been experimenting with this process and have discovered 7 key things to reach this state of fat burning which is shown in this graphic. I would have given my left pinky toe to have known this when I was starting my weight loss journey! I’ve lost 10 pounds practicing this over the past 2 months. My friend Megan has lost 25 in less than a month Michelle dropped 2 dress sizes and we have countless more stories like this. I am scheduling free consultations and selecting a handful of women to mentor through this program. Email me to make your appointment. I can not WAIT for you to try this and get rid of that stubborn

When I started One Potato, I wanted to make sure there were tons of DIY recipes. I find that when kids are presented with a variety of food choices and opportunity to participate in what goes on their plate they tend to grab more than you might think. This happens every time we make Chicken Burrito Bowls, Forbidden Black Rice Bowls and especially these Turkey Taco Bowls. Grab a bowl and put layer after layer of your favorite topping until you Source by ClassyChicAdri

Okay, okay… so we all know what Ramen noodles are. Guilty as charged! I think that I almost survived in college off of Ramen, microwave burritos, pizza bites and hot pockets. And please… don't ask me about my colored ketchup phase. Several months back now, my mom was going through (I mean… raiding) my pantry as she usually does when she comes over. She happened to stumble upon a single package of reduced sodium chicken flavored Ramen that I had in there. I was in the process of turning over the stuff in my emergency food preparation packs that I keep on hand just in case of power outage or… you know… Z-Day (haha.) Anyway, my mom immediately started to bust my chops. Hard. 'I would have never thought I'd see RAMEN NOODLES in YOUR pantry AMANDA. HAHA. Sooo healthy!' – My mom… Source by cecylovesmijo

Tonight was the first night, you can read about this style of qi gong here and here, and see a video of it being performed here. There's a point where you get to when you're bringing in the element of Earth, and you stretch downnnnn to the earth, and I got this stabbing pain in my side. It happens from time to time (usually when I'm in the shower bending over to shave my legs! haha) and I just thought it was li… Source by mdeussen

Going grain-free eliminates all grains from your diet, including wheat, oats, corn, rice, and barley. On this diet, instead of eating lots of bread, pasta, rice, or other grains, you eat protein, dairy, beans, nuts, and complex carbohydrate foods like potatoes and carrots. There are many benefits of going grain-free, and the diet can be great for your brain. If you’re used to eating lots of grains, you might experience withdrawal symptoms when you first start on the diet. Headaches, brain fog… Source by demonbuyer

You know what… one day I literally woke up and said that enough is enough! I want to change more than I want to stay the same. I literally could not stand to see myself in the mirror i hated all pictures and 6 months after Bryce was born I was still wearing maternity clothes. I was mortified and lacking confidence. I committed to starting my journey with my coach in an accountability group I followed Insanity to the T I learned how to eat clean and pay attention to the quality of the food I was eating. I engaged in the daily support and slowly but surely over time by body changed. it isn't a quick weight loss- you don't snap your fingers and results happen but a result of my daily choices to workout vs hit snooze drink Shakeology vs pizza drink water vs Diet Coke and black coffee vs cream and sugar! It was ALL those SMALL SEEMINGLY insignificant choices that over time produced a lifestyle change which led to the bottom two pictures of me!! more confidence clearer skin healthi

Emotional abuse isn't something we can necessarily see. It would be obvious to know when someone is hurting us if they always left bruises but when it's our emotions or our freedom that's attacked, it can be difficult to classify it abuse. It's the, "If no one sees it, it didn't happen" mentality. Learn the signs of emotional abuse so you know what to look for. Source by helloleahgrey

This is how it all started. This pic came up on my flash back on Facebook from 4 years ago. I had been already delivering food to people’s offices and houses for 3 years prior to this. I use to make all the food in my kitchen every day at home and get in my car and deliver around london. Word of mouth spread and I got offered to pitch for Harrods and Selfridges to have my food in the food hall. I launched in Selfridges 5.5 years ago and got my book deal. It didn’t just get offered I had put a concept in front of a publisher 18 months before that that got rejected but the timing was right and it happened. Everything starts small from an idea but to make it happen takes hard work and dedication. You don’t see the stress sleepless nights and hours put into a business from pretty pictures on social media. I don’t often stop to look at what I have achieved but seeing this pic pop up on my feed this morning has made me remember how far I have come. 100’s of thousands of meals have been mad

Image
Are meal plans pointless? . . Now this quote is a little tongue in cheek, but the subject is an interesting one and worth debating. One of the standard products you can by from online coaches is a meal plan. Often just a one day meal plan with macros calculated and calorie targets set. You get an example day of meals for you to follow. . I’ll be the first to admit that I used to sell one day meal plans when I first started out. But my thinking on them has changed. Let me explain… . A one day meal plan helps you understand your macros and helps you understand how to structure your meals. But unless you intend to eat the same thing for the rest of your life, then the plan has a shelf-life. So what do you do at the point? Buy another? And when you get bored of that one do you buy another? . In my mind, the biggest value comes from learning about good nutrition and learning how to manage your diet for the long term. And that won’t happen from a one-off meal plan. . So with my coachi
