I try not to do too much cooking lest' the "Kitchen Devil" tempt
me to eat more and more of what I cook. This does not mean
that I don't like to cook, or don't cook. What it means is that
when I cook, I try to make it count.
It is important to prepare healthy foods that give us nutrition
rather than empty calories. There is a cookbook
that is designed to do just that. I checked it out and I was
really surprised at the level of expertise that it provides.
It has great recipes and nutritionally sound advice.
I highly recommend that you check out this book.
1. If you are having trouble losing weight
2. If your weight stays the same and refuses to go down
3. If you want some healthy cooking pointers
This is information is really something that you will want to look at.
Check out the "Healthy Urban Kitchen"

Do you like spicy mustard? Did you know that it can increase
your metabolism up to 20% for several hours after you eat it?

Get To The Core
Most of us are pretty okay with the fact that toning
our muscles also helps us to stay healthier. It seems that
health and fitness are two things that just go together.
I suppose that most of us have heard of the "CORE".
Fitness trainers and health professionals seem to
talk about how important building up our core
muscles. Keeping muscles toned is an important
part of losing weight.
One of the things that you are not told is that most
your stabilizer muscles make up part of that core group.
Many of these muscles (stabilizer) are smaller and
we do not use them as much.
Two quick core exercises are:
1. Just hold yourself on your elbows or in a push-up
position for a minute or two.
2. Invert that position so that your stomach faces up
and your arms are behind you on hands or elbows.
Try to keep your stomach pushing up so that your back is straight.
I have recently come across a new fitness product that just
about beats anything that I have seen on the market yet. If you
are looking for a piece of equipment that really, I mean REALLY
develops your core and stabilizer muscles, then you HAVE GOT
TO CHECK THIS OUT! Here is the link.
Don't forget to get your free info. Look to your right!

fitness fast!
Nobody wants to wait for anything anymore.
Patience is a thing of the past. We now have microwaves,
fast food, fast cars, fast money, and fast-talking.
Fitness is one of those things that can be improved very
quickly. In just a few weeks a person can lose weight, increase
his/her metabolic rate, and improve how they feel.
In a few months, it is possible to lower cholesterol, eliminate
diabetic medication, and look and feel a lot better.
On the other hand, if you simply eat and watch television,
then the opposite usually occurs.
Watch your diet, eat as healthy as you can, and try to
get in at least 15 to 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day.
If your trying to lose weight find out how to set
appropriate goals. Get "Nothing Can Stop Me"
at the upper-right of this page.

Make a Change
Can we really change our habits?
A close friend of mine had major heart surgery a few
years ago. He swore up and down that he would quit smoking,
eat healthier, and start exercising. He was very highly motivated
to change. Mostly because the doctors told him that
he would be back in surgery if he did not change his lifestyle.
In 3 years he is back smoking well over
2 packs-a-day, still eats the fast-foods (and not the salads),
and of course never gets any exercise.
In effect, this man's life is threatened and he is
unwilling to help himself. He really does not believe that
he will end up in the hospital (or dead) again. He feels too good.
We may want to lose weight, make extra money, or stop
procrastinating. Whatever it is that we want to do. we
need to step up and actually do it. Getting ourselves
motivated to improve our lives can be elusive. To some
it seems to come naturally. Others never seem to get it.
Making change happen in our lives needs several elements.
1. We need identify what we can change.
2. We need to want to change it.
3. We must take the steps to begin changing.
Unless we have at least these three elements, we usually
take no action to do anything but live our same existence.

BURN, BURN, BURN - THOSE CALORIES!
It is a fact of nature that if you burn off more calories than you
put into yourself that you will eventually lose pounds. Even
though your body tends to resist at time, it also lets loose
of those pounds easily and other times.
The trick is to make sure that you move more and eat less.
Here are a couple of ideas:
1. Get away from the television. Most people spend way too
much time in front of the "TUBE" (most aren't tubes anymore)
just idling their time. How do we idle? Why, we idle with
a soda in one hand and potato chips in the other. So, do something
that makes you move around.
2. Instead of using the dishwasher every time, you might consider
actually washing dishes by hand once in a while. This makes you
stand, and move around. Just don't have the soda and chips
within reach.
3. If you have pets play with them more. Many people do not play
with their pets at all. This not only give them physical activity,
but makes the owner more active.
Find reasons to be active. There are probably a lot of them that
you can think of if you put your mind to it.

Do You Glow After Your MRI?
It seems that every time that I go into the dentist
they want to take more x-rays. I am definitely
concerned about my health, especially since
cancer runs rampant in my family. I have had so much
radiation shot through my body that I can turn off
all of the lights in my house at night and still read
a book.
That is a bit of an exaggeration, but I have always
wondered just how safe all this stuff is. Oh, I do not
let my dentist take pictures unless I know it is
an absolute necessity.
There has been a recent surge of interest in the amount
of radiation that patients are exposed to due to a large number
of patients who were exposed to 8 times what they were
supposed to have had (L.A. TImes). I have heard rumors that
we might not even need the normal recommended amounts.
I would really like to hear your thoughts on this. Please
leave a comment.
There are a lot of free self-help articles and ebooks being
given away. This website is well worth checking out.

Super Bowl Calories
Greetings.
I know a lot of people tend to find themselves just sitting around in
front of the television. Major events such as the Super Bowl, which
will be showing tomorrow (Sunday 7th), are going to find a lot of
people eating and drinking themselves into calorie heaven.
wouldn't it be nice if we could burn off a few extra calories
just by watching the tube? Here are a few suggestions.
One thing that you can do is to lean forward on your seat
and put some weight on your legs. This will tense your
muscles, strengthen the legs, and burn off a few calories.
You do not need to do this constantly, but every few minutes
will really make a difference.
Another thing you can do is to simply push down with your
arms on the seat of the chair. You will sort of be trying to
push some of your weight up off of the chair. This has the same
effect as the previous exercise with the legs.
So, you really can sit and get exercise at the same time.
For more information and help fill out the form to your
right and get the information that will help you to
keep on track.

Eat Energy!
There are a lot of foods that we eat that produce more
energy for us than others. Here are a few suggestions
that will keep you going at "TOP" speed.
Remember that saying about "An apple a day"?
Eating apples is not only going to provide you with
food that not only tastes good, but also keeps your
energy levels up by keeping your blood sugar from
having that quick drop from most sweets.
One more is spicy mustard. Not only will this help
you to enjoy your meal, but it can also increase your
metabolism by up to 20% for several hours after
you eat it.
P.S. GIANT GIVEAWAY EVENT.
Tons of free software, self-help and marketing
