Many people which I work with fall into the category of having metabolic syndrome.
How do you know if you have metabolic syndrome? Metabolic syndrome is typical of many people in today society as having abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, increased blood sugars, increased triglycerides, Low HDL-cholesterol And Raised LDL-cholesterol. Each one of these different symptoms are interconnected.
Metabolic syndrome can occur at any age however it is now found among many very young people. It is typical of people who yo yo diet, who cannot lose weight, typical of people who have constant cravings and binges of foods, typical of [Read more...]
Welcome to the final part of the optimum weight series, many people will say to me they are really good during the day but then come evening time after their dinner and they need or crave something sweet, they don’t feel satisfied and start picking, or they go all day without regular food and then overeat come evening where they feel so full they can’t move. So they end up sitting on the problem, or going to bed on a full tummy. These patterns will not help you with the battle of the bulge. You have got to change something. Here is what I suggest:
Many people actually do not have enough protein in the daily diet. You will not have energy [Read more...]
Welcome to part 4, how are you feeling about your weight, your energy levels, your fitness, your attitude towards food, how are you thinking about you? It is difficult to change, no matter what kind of a step you take it can be difficult, no one said it was going to be easy, but it is absolutely wonderful when you actually make the changes you know you have to make. If you are struggling with your weight and you have been reading these articles I would like you to identify now what changes you have actually made, what things are you doing differently, are you taking more exercise, cutting out the rubbish, accepting you as you are? Drinking more [Read more...]
We have already looked at ‘thinking differently’ regarding your weight and focusing on your metabolism to ensure you are burning off all which you eat. Obviously the more you get that butt moving, the greater you will feel, the more toned you will become and the healthier and fitter you will be too! It really is a win, win!!! This is nothing you haven’t heard of before so why then are you still struggling with losing that excess weight?
I find with my clients many know exactly what they should be doing, but they still cannot motivate themselves to do it, this is where I work closely with them in building up their self-esteem and helping [Read more...]
Last week I asked to start focusing on your thinking and see where you need to change it regards to your lifestyle, the foods you eat or don’t eat, your exercise regime etc. as in order to change anything you must change your thinking first! This week I would like to focus on helping you speed up your metabolism naturally, not through dietary supplements or slimming pills. What is your metabolism exactly? It is the rate at which the body burns up energy. When you eat food, based on its calorie content it will give off different levels of energy form that food, therefore high fat foods, high sugar based and refined starchy foods are generally [Read more...]

Unfortunately there are very few people happy with their weight, which one are you? The hard truth is that 99.9% of the time we are completely responsible through the lifestyles we lead and the choices we make, yet we constantly complain about how we look and feel… yet we really don’t want to change anything. Many resort to slimming pills, which in my opinion are poison to the body as they are manufactured synthetic products, therefore they should not be let near the body not alone enter it! Their purpose is to suppress appetite or prevent the absorption of fat consumed in your diet. The problem is unless you are clinically obese drastic [Read more...]
Many struggle with food, body and weight issues…many are constantly obsessed by their weight, many overeat, yo-yo diet or binge…many are trapped into an endless cycle of starvation or comfort eating. So often I treat people who suffer with a distorted eating pattern of one kind or another, these patterns usually arise when a person uses food to cope with painful situations, or feelings of anger, fear, guilt, anxiety, loneliness, boredom and so on. Unusual eating patterns can occur at any time or at any age following a traumatic event, a death, abuse, bullying, depression, long term illnesses and many others. Other times there is no specific [Read more...]
This past week I have been asked by two people what slimming pills would I recommend or what’s’ my opinion on them? So I reckon many more of you have a similar question. Slimming pills are manufactured synthetic products. Their purpose is to suppress appetite…or prevent the absorption of fat consumed in your diet. The problem is unless you are clinically obese drastic measures like these are completely uncalled for.
Many people suffer severe long term side effects to their health and wellbeing. Side effects can include heart palpitation, tiredness, diarrhoea, constipation, insomnia and digestive disturbances such as; abdominal pain, cramps, [Read more...]
Last week I outlined about the functioning of the thyroid gland and many other related parts of the body. Living with someone who has some or many of the symptoms of thyroid malfunction can be very frustrating especially if they are unaware they have a thyroid problem in the first place. Through my treatments I can test where the imbalance is and if there are others factors draining the adrenals, the master gland etc.
Rebalancing is purely natural and does not involve taking medication for the rest of your life. Sometimes medication is essential, many other times it is only needed to reboot the thyroid short term, and long term medication Is [Read more...]
Runny nose and eyes, sneezing, tiredness, skin rashes or irritations, change in bowel movements from constipation to diarrhoea, itchy red eyes, weight-gain/weight-loss, stomach cramps? These symptoms may lead you to think you have intolerance to wheat or gluten. So what exactly is the difference between the two?
Gluten is a protein, which can be found in many cereals such as oats, wheat, barley, spelt, etc. Gluten gives bread and other bakery products structure, elasticity and chewiness. The degree of intolerance for individuals varies from mild reactions to severe. Coeliac disease is the result of damage to the cells or Villi in the small intestine [Read more...]
