Goals
1) where would I want to be this time next year 6/2025? -I would like to lose 104 pounds and be healthy, I would like to find myself spiritually and I would like to have a better hold on my mental health. I would also like to sell jewelry to help myself financially.
2) what do I specifically want to achieve in the next year/quarter (3 months)/month (4 weeks) Year: (12 months, 52 weeks) Long Term
Lose 104 lbs, be more in touch with my spirituality, have a better grasp on my mental health, and have my own Etsy store. Quarterly (3 months, 13 weeks): -lose 26 lbs (2 lbs per week) -research paganism, figure out the path I would like to take -focus on my mental health- do research on mental illnesses and coping skills. -Learn how to make Jewelry Month (4 weeks) -lose 8 lbs (2 lbs per week) -watch videos on paganism
Research mental illnesses and coping skills
watch videos and write down supplies I will need to make jewelry
3) How will I achieve these goals a) Record my meals, portion control, no snacks after 7:00 pm, move my body for at least 30 minutes per day b) do research on paganism, who the gods and goddesses are, what my path is, and what my intentions are c) research my mental illnesses, the cause of my trauma, and what coping skills I can use to make my life better d) Learn how to make jewelry, start working on what I need to start creating jewelry to sell, start my own store
4) What excites me the most about reaching my goals -Lose weight/be healthy- I will be able to go horseback riding, wear cute clothes, and hopefully feel a little better about myself. -Spiritually- I'm excited about learning what my path is, to being closer to nature and the gods and goddesses, and learning more about myself and the person I want to become. -Mental Health- I am excited about not having panic attacks and being able to leave the house alone. I want to be able to do things that bring me joy without having a meltdown because there are too many people or I feel like something terrible is going to happen. -Jewelry- I am excited about sharing my creations and making some money. I want to get my creativity out there and have fun doing it.
5) how will achieving my goals positively impact other areas of my life? -lose weight/health- I believe if I'm healthy and have a better relationship with food, I will have a better mind frame. I will be happier and healthier, and my relationship with others will also improve. -Spiritually- it's all about positive in positive out, this will have a good impact on my relationships and perhaps give me less anxiety. I feel like when your spirit is at peace, then you can be at peace. I think it will impact my friendships/relationships in a big way. -Mental health- by getting a better handle on my mental health I won't be so depressed and I will be able to enjoy life to the fullest. -jewelry- this will help me financially. This will make it possible for me to help support myself.
6) What is currently holding me back from achieving my goals? How can I overcome this? My depression and anxiety play a huge factor in my not achieving my goals. When I'm depressed (which is more often than not) I lose the willpower to do anything. Even simple tasks like taking a shower are draining and I usually end up crying the entire time I'm in there. I also procrastinate, I will put things off and put things off until the last possible second. This makes me have terrible anxiety and I will usually give in to the intrusive thoughts and end up not finishing whatever it was I was trying to do. I will also start things and get about halfway through and never finish it. I do not hold myself accountable. How can I overcome these issues? -Depression/anxiety- use coping skills to help overcome my depression and anxiety. Even on the days when I feel like everything is going wrong, I need to focus on the things I can control and not so much on the things that I cannot. -Procrastination- make a schedule and stick to it, do things in a timely fashion, and stop putting things off. When I start something I need to finish it, no more stopping halfway and giving up. -Holding myself accountable- a) Create a daily to-do list, nothing too overwhelming just a list of things you need to get done in the day. b) set deadlines for myself, short-term, monthly, and long-term. making the deadline a bit sooner than it is actually due will give me a bit of a buffer in case something else pops up. The deadline will provide a sense of urgency and will motivate you to get things done. c) At each checkpoint, write out how I will celebrate the milestone. That way I get the satisfaction of finishing something and I will have a little reward at the end. d) lean on a friend, having someone else know what my plans are can help motivate me to want to finish them on time. e) do not allow myself to proceed with the next task until the first one is complete. That way I don't have a million unfinished tasks scattered around my house. f) Keep a visual reminder of what your end goals are, vision boards, planners, whatever works for me. I find writing things out in my planner helps me to know what tasks I need to finish.

A 30-day gut cleanse diet plan with body detox and weight loss benefits
A 30-day gut cleanse diet plan with body detox and weight loss benefits 30-day gut cleanses diet plan may be a universal program for gut detox, body detox, and weight loss. This diet is predicated on low-calorie foods that remove mucus from the gut and every one of your body, replenish healthy gut microbiome,
supply your body with enough vitamins and alkaline minerals for it to detoxify without stressing your elimination organs: liver and kidneys. The diet plan assures rapid weight loss – from 18 to twenty lbs – with no sense of hunger. It also cleans your blood, improves skin quality, cures acne, may relieve symptoms of asthma and other chronic conditions. If you retain the main part of this diet plan for the remainder of your life you'll reduce your aging rate (1) and avoid most illnesses connected to elderly life.
Why GUT DETOX may be a MILESTONE of each detox program?
Full detox is unimaginable without gut cleanse. only a few people know that the part of the food we eat never leaves our body and stays in our gut for the remainder of our lives. the rationale for its mucus that's formed by the walls of our intestines as the gut attempts to guard itself against the unnatural products: dairy, starchy carbs, highly refined and deep-fried foods. This mucus hinders the full elimination of poop and provides a good foundation for pathogenic bacteria to thrive. For more on this subject please visit my blog: “6 amazing health benefits of cleaning your gut”
The ULTIMATE GUT CLEANSE DIET
There are many 3 days gut cleanse programs available on the internet. you'll indeed eat certain food today to stimulate good movement tomorrow but this may be distant from having a clean, mucus-free, and toxin-free gut, healthy gut flora, slim belly, and therefore the sensation of lightness which will not be compared to anything.
The secret of gut cleanse is in raw fruits and vegetables. Every fruit and vegetable in raw form has gut cleansing properties and each cooked food is mucus forming. If you turn to completely raw food your gut will start detoxing already in few days from your diet change. After one month of gut cleanse each of your movements will offer you a sensation of emptiness and lightness such as you haven't experienced before. which will be the proper sign that your gut has cleaned. That’s what went on to me on a raw vegan diet, however, due to amazing cravings for cooked food, a fully raw diet is extremely difficult to follow. For folks that can't imagine surviving on salads, this 30-day diet plan includes some cooked food that is the smallest amount of mucus-forming by their nature.
A gut cleanses consists of three stages: 1. Hydrating colon 2. Stimulating movement for the elimination of poisons. 3. Providing enough fiber for healthy gut flora to multiply. Luckily most of the foods you'll be eating have most of those three mentioned qualities.
How to START A GUT CLEANSE DAY?
The best thanks to starting a gut cleansing day are by drinking a few cups of a probiotic drink. The drink has a light sower, pleasant taste, and is full of positive bacteria that helps your gut replenish the pathogenic gut flora with a healthy one. you'll be ready to easily prepare this drink in large quantities reception only with cabbage and filtered water with the assistance of the blender. For the precise recipe please visit my blog. If you'd wish to make this drink more flavorsome there's a recipe for this too.
Drinking fermented drinks in the morning will assist you better suits the new diet and avoid bloating. However, if you're lazy to organize this drink, you'll choose the better option: start the day with a few cups of straightforward lemon water but don't miss drinking a cup of ultimate gut cleanse remedy before getting to bed. The gut cleanses remedy should be taken for 10 days at the initial stage of your gut cleanse diet plan.
How to organize GUT CLEANSE BREAKFASTS?
For breakfast, it's excellent to eat fruits that have the properties of the hydrating colon and diluting the mucus. All watery fruits have hydrating qualities, but watermelon may be a queen of colon cleanse. If you are doing the cleanse in summer I like to recommend eating watermelon a day – once you eat watermelon in large quantities it can cause movement almost directly.
You can enjoy the following fruits that are listed consistent with their gut cleansing properties:
For the summer season: 1. Watermelon 2. Melon 3. Papaya 4. Pineapple 5. Strawberries 6. Pears 7. cucumbers 8. Tomatoes.
For winter season: 1. Grapefruits (juice grapefruits) 2. Oranges 3. Tangerines 4. Kiwi. 5. Apples
Please note that so as for these fruits to wash your gut you've got to consume them in large quantities – some people are scared of eating fruits believing that they're too high in sugars. that's not so. For scientific proof please visit my blog: “Why you ought to not be scared of fruits while losing weight – Glycemic index VS glycemic load”
Eat as many fruits to satisfy you for breakfast and if you are feeling hungry eat some more fruits from the list. Avoid eating oatmeal, whole grain bread, and therefore the foods that are generally considered as a healthy option. These foods could be healthier than pancakes, but they're still mucus-forming, therefore they are doing not fit into the gut cleansing concept.
The best GUT CLEANSE LUNCH
The best thing you'll eat for lunch is a green smoothie that has tremendous cleansing properties. With green smoothies, you'll even clean the oven in your kitchen. Pour a touch little bit of green smoothie on an unclean tray and leave overnight. the subsequent day you'll be ready to clean it only with a wet towel. an equivalent cleansing effect green smoothie will wear your gut, blood vessels, liver, and kidneys. The fiber in green smoothies feeds healthy bacteria in your gut and facilitates positive macrobiotic that on the opposite hand strengthens your system (2). For smoothie cleanse to be effective you ought to drink 1.5 Lt (50 ounces) of smoothie per day. For more benefits you'll get on smoothies please visit my blog: “Stop aging now! – regain back the natural color of your hair, Improve your eyesight, gain muscles without exercise”.
For smoothie recipes please visit my blog: “One formula for 1000 different green smoothie recipes”.
GUT CLEANSE DINNER
The best dinner for gut cleans is raw low starch vegetable salads: Finely chop cabbage, carrot, radish, beetroot, cauliflower, cut cucumber, and tomatoes. Convert them into multiple salads using different combinations and various salad dressings with lemon, olive oil, avocados, raw nuts, green pesto, and homemade tomato salsa. just in case you've got problems digesting vegetables in a raw form you'll cook them. the simplest cooked low starch vegetables are steamed broccoli and cauliflower, baked or boiled beetroot, stir-fried cabbage, and carrots. Make some research on the way to convert these vegetables into tasty dishes.
GUT CLEANSE SNACKS AND SWEETS
On a gut cleanse diet anything from raw fruits, dried fruits, vegetables, and nuts are often eaten as snacks and sweets. find out how to make raw nut pestos and luxuriate in them with bell pepper or celery sticks. Or, simply snack on cucumbers or carrots. For sweets, you'll enjoy dates and nuts, raw avocado pudding, or bananas. confine mind that fruits should be eaten before vegetables, not after. Eating fruits after the vegetables causes fermentation in the gut (3) – this doesn't slot into the gut cleanse diet plan.
Which FOODS TO AVOID on Gut cleanse diet
On a gut cleanse diet you ought to avoid any meat, eggs, and dairy that feed pathogenic gut flora and are very mucus forming by their nature. the sole exception is unpasteurized yogurt and kefir that contains positive gut bacteria, however, they also contribute to mucus formation to a particular extent, therefore should be taken in moderate quantities and not every single day. If you add one teaspoon of grained flax seeds in unpasteurized kefir. this may bring gut cleansing properties to the drink.
You should also avoid all kinds of refined sugars, refined carbs and whole-grain foods, even oatmeal – as they're all highly mucus forming and may hinder the cleaning process.
What could be THE SIDE EFFECTS OF GUT CLEANS?
The side effects of gut cleanse are connected to eating a high amount of raw fiber that causes fast replenishment of the gut microbiome. The change of gut flora takes a few weeks, meantime you would possibly experience bloating and gas, some people complain that their movement stops for several days at the start of the program. don't be afraid. attempt to drink more probiotic drink which will help relieve symptoms.
How to SUCCEED ON GUT CLEANSE DIET?
I understand that this diet plan isn't getting to be easy for an individual adjusted to eating pizzas and burgers and no fiber in the least. Organizing a gut cleanse diet does require a while and energy to master new recipes. to achieve this diet I like to recommend doing it with a partner or with a lover. you'll be ready to monitor one another, observe your weight loss results, share recipes and cook together.

20 for 2020 - Updated List
Having a baby amidst the Coronavirus pandemic has been an experience tho. And it means I need to update my New Year’s Resolutions because some of them just reallllly don’t or can’t apply anymore. I don’t know how long these resolutions will apply (if things get back to a more “normal” state I may want to update them again), but I think for at least the next few months, this is what I’ve got:
1. Shut off phone for 8 hours once a week: I use the phone religiously to track EJ’s feedings, diapers, and sleep. Sometimes when I’m nursing it’s the only form of entertainment accessible. The argument could be made that I should just enjoy the time with my son, but I spend about two hours a day at this activity, and I really enjoy reading on my phone while I do it. SO, the new resolution: turn my phone to airplane mode for 8 hours a week, with at least 4 of those hours being consecutive. This should allow me to use the phone for tracking and reading but also be free of the constant mind-numbing lure of Instagram/checking emails/playing endless Clash Royale games.
2. No phone for first 30 mins of day. I honestly did pretty well at both of these first two resolutions for the first three months of the year. But staying off my phone in the morning now feels totally unthinkable. (See above re: tracking, reading, etc.) I do really enjoy the calming ritual of looking at the weather and pollen count for the day, looking at my sleep patterns on my Fitbit, checking in on my goals on League, etc. So I’m going to nix this goal entirely. Since part of this goal was so that I could go to God first and not get distracted, I’ll change it to - do devos 5x a week. This has been surprisingly difficult having an unpredictable baby around - which I knew it would be, by the way!! (I had one friend insist that “babies sleep all the time”, which, woof. We’ve had to alter our expectations on that one.)
3. Dedicate baby to Jesus. I am going to go ahead and be optimistic and believe this could still happen! I just sent an email to the church office asking how it works.
4. Join a woman’s Bible study. Done!
5. Ask a friend to church. Again, with the specificity of this goal, going to hold out hope that this becomes a possibility before the year is out!
6. Make a health tracker for all 3 of us. Done, and because we’re keeping distanced from others, praise God for His protection and safety, I really haven’t had to use it. Which is great, because I worry about every. little. thing. when it comes to EJ. Motherhood is an exercise in surrendering to God and living fully dependent on Him the way EJ is fully dependent on us!
7. Get outside and walk for 20 minutes daily. I’m pretty proud of how I kept this up throughout my pregnancy and started back up about a week postpartum! Again, thanking God for great weather, an easy delivery and recovery, and an able body!
8. Go to prenatal yoga 6 more times. I did this one, albeit modified - I did yoga using videos at home.
9. Start running again post-birth. Done!
10. Get back down to minus 140 lbs. Sadly, I had checked this one off on the one day I was like 139.8...but I’m back up. Significantly. And I don’t really feel like putting in the effort to lose it while I’m breastfeeding and pretty much always hungry. Sooo we’ll see what happens.
11. Eat less sugar (be mindful). Ha! May as well change this one to “bake more”...lol. In the spirit of being healthy and recognizing that food is one of my few great pleasures during this time period, I’ll rejig it to be - exercise three times a week.
12. Go to a BBQ place with Johnny. Alas, no one is going anywhere. But I am going to change this one to have 8 date nights with jnils - works out to one a month from now until the end of the year!
13. Eat at Olive Garden. Done, and so glad I checked this one off before the borders closed!
14. Buy a better frying pan. Honestly, I don’t really care that much about this one anymore. But in the spirit of the kitchen, I would like to learn how to make my mom’s macaroni beef casserole!
15. Wear lip colour once a week. I kept up with this during the school year, but my face looks better with eyeliner and mascara, and lip colour is a waste if you’re wearing a mask! So I’m switching it to: wear makeup once a week.
16. Buy new glasses and/or contacts. I would like to keep this one and see it completed because my glasses are old and my contacts are expired, lol.
17. Buy and complete a puzzle. Done!
18. Read 60 books. I’m at 40 currently so I think I’m going to make it!
19. See 10 movies with jnils. Whelp. I had watched two with him, and I meant in theatres. BUT, we did start watching through the Marvel movies pre-baby, and that is something I would really like to finish! So I’ll say watch all the Marvel movies, in order of release date.
20. Meet up with someone at least once a week after the first month of newborn has passed. Ugh. This was one I was really looking forward to. I looove getting out of the house each day, even if it’s just to go to the garden centre to pick up flowers or hang out with my parents, so I really think I would have done this one sans COVID regulations...but for some reason, I find scheduling FaceTime calls and Skype calls etc etc really difficult and energy-draining. Part of it is most people are still working and can only do them at night, which is witching hour for EJ dearest. So I’m going to do a complete about-face away from a social goal and go for one that is guaranteed to make me happy and not take away from my more limited energy resources, not that I don’t love my friends and family: Plant tulips in October!
BONUS! Look into becoming a milk donor. I currently have about 80 ounces in my freezer and I think I could do it (you need 150!), but I don’t want to hold myself to it because then I have unnatural reactions to “wasting” my milk (like when I spilled an ounce of it today after pumping 3 and got really, really annoyed). I’m sending them an email today too!
Overall, I’m really excited about revising my resolutions and almost feel like I should do this every year, baby/COVID or no. In any case, I am SO grateful that I and my family are all healthy and safe, and I pray that God would continue to protect us, and you too, if you’re reading this. :)

REAL TALK: How I Lost 8 pounds in 3 Weeks
Once upon a time, I was a swooping 114 lbs. on the scale. I was close to 100 lbs., the ideal weight for my height. It took me 3 months of gym workouts and strict diet to get to 114. But then on June 2019, I had to fly back to Sydney for school works and in no time I was back on my MAD diet (meat all day). I mean… who can resist Australian Beef Steak with Peppercorn Sauce? I had zero self-control. I was snacking on ice cream in winter. I created a strong relationship with burgers and big fat potato chips. I was stocking on rare TimTam flavors which I could only find in Aussie. Coles, Woolies, and Aldi were my favorite hang-out places. If I felt a little broke, I would turn to $5 Domino’s Pizza and devour the entire thing. Also, my love for noodles didn’t help. Sydney Chinatown was my noodle-go-to place. Dry noodles, ramen, stir-fried, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai… name it! I knew where to get them. Surprise, surprise! I was 121 lbs. when I left Sydney.
I was back in the gym, trying hard to lose the weight I gained. I ran 15 mins. full speed on the treadmill and continuously did circuit training. I did Pound exercises and Muay Thai. It wasn’t hard to lose the excess weight. I went back to counting my calorie intake and avoided rice. I firmly believed that white rice makes my tummy bloat.
2 months of hardcore training and I was back in the game. I was losing weight again. My core training was working. I can see the lines on my abs getting firmer. I had to be stricter this time. Unfortunately, my psychiatrist became a bit worried. I was being obsessed with weight-watching to the point that I sometimes starve myself by eating just a fruit to avoid consuming my calories. It was the biggest mistake I have ever made. My depression went back, and it was bouncing like crazy. I had to stop the “diet”. I was still taking my plant-based protein shakes to replace some of my meals. It worked for a while, but then I flew to Jakarta.
Jakarta is a food-haven. I love Indonesian Cuisine. I love every bit of it, may it be something spicy, or sweet, or out of the ordinary. It was truly a gastronomic adventure that I totally forgot about calorie counting and diet. In Indonesia, rice is life. Plus, Indonesia is the home of “Three Buns” which happens to be the number one burger in Asia. I was lucky enough to be able to taste it while I was there. Each day was a totally different food experience. Which got me thinking… maybe traveling makes me gain weight? Maybe I should ditch food blogging?
TRAVELING MAKES ME GAIN WEIGHT… NOPE. IT WAS THE LACK OF SELF-CONTROL THAT MAKES ME GAIN WEIGHT.
The reality is… when you start eating unhealthy, you become somewhat addicted to it. You go after your cravings. For a few months, I drove to the biggest food night market in Manila on Fridays. It’s a street food heaven! I had pork barbecue smothered in fatty oil and dessert shakes colored in flavorful sugar. I would eat anything I wanted. I would snack on a cheese platter with a cold glass of Moscato while watching Netflix. I was at my laziest. I stopped going to the gym and stayed in front of the TV just like a sloth.
Until I felt it. My spine was hurting. It was probably my scoliosis, reminding me that I was becoming too heavy. I started having heart burns and I had trouble breathing. I wanted to go back to 114 lbs. I was only 14 lbs. away from my goal weight. I had to step on the scale and face it. I WAS A WHOPPING 139 LBS., bloated as hell, insecure, and having nothing to wear from my closet. What did I do to myself???
This is it! I have to re-evaluate all my choices. I started de-cluttering and cleansing. Not only on my diet, but also with my surroundings. I started cleaning my room. I chucked all the things that didn’t matter anymore. Old papers, old cards, old mugs, old clothes… and then I started with my cleanse.
EXERCISE IS ONLY 20% OF THE PROCESS.
I started stretching again and visiting the gym. I was slowly getting back into the rhythm. But, I knew I had to stick to something that would not make me go back to my unhealthy lifestyle. I was then introduced to a Netflix Documentary titled “The Game Changers”. It’s a documentary that explains all the science behind a plant-based diet. At first, I was hesitant to try focusing on a plant-based diet. I mean… c’mon. It was clearly not a balanced diet for me. I need my meat, I need my fish. But… as I slowly took in the facts, it gave me the extra push that I needed. It completely changed the way I see (and eat) food.
I started changing my meal plans. I started choosing greens from being the carnivore that I was. My plate became more colorful, not from fancy sugars, but from the vegetables that I hand-picked from the farmer’s market.
I was doing it. I was giving it a go. Completely changing my diet to plant-based was hard at first. I always craved for roast pork and grilled chicken. But then, realizing that plant-based foods can be as whole as what we would normally eat, I started cooking healthy. My protein source became completely plant-based. My sauces were all plant-based. Some people would always tell me… “No. You need to eat beef or fish or chicken breast or eggs to get your protein fix.” What people don’t understand is that these meats are only carriers of protein. THEY ARE NOT THE SOURCE. At the end of the day, what do these animals feed on? Cows that produce dairy and beef meat eat grass. Chickens eat corn. Pigs that produce your favorite pork chops eat whatever, God-knows-what. THEY ALL EAT PLANTS. These animals are bred and confined in an area where they can get sick and contaminate their own species. They are injected with antibiotics of high dozes to avoid deadly illnesses that can sometimes be transmitted to humans. It’s the same with seafood. Commercial breeders breed the fishes in pens and we can only imagine the amount of mercury they have taken from swimming in highly polluted waters.. Plus, let’s not forget the fact that not all parts of these animals are lean. There will always be excess fats which can tick off your cholesterol levels in dangerous amounts. Hello Bagnet, Lechon Kawali, Crispy Pata… fat deep-fried in fat. THEY TASTE SOOOO GOOD… I won’t argue. But we all know, it’s bad for you.
Anyway, as I started shifting to a plant-based diet, counting my calories was easier. I started avoiding dairy and animal bi-products. Since vegetables and fruits theoretically have lower calories than meats, I indulge, but NEVER go beyond my allotted calorie count. In a matter of few days, I started losing 2 lbs. I was eating healthy and exercising. I started cooking Thai, Korean, Mexican, making tacos out of vegetables and soft shell whole wheat tortillas. I’m a dessert person, so when I craved for sweets, I had almond milk shakes packed with strawberries and bananas. Almond Milk contains 45 kcal per 180 ml serving, compared to 200 plus the excess sugars you get from full cream milk. I made everything homemade… Pesto in Wheat Pasta, Thai Eggplants with Tofu and Basil, Kimchi Stew, Vegetable Curry. Everything was from whole foods, none of the bi-products. I snacked on fruits instead of my cheese platters. I started reading the labels and looking at what I was actually eating. In 2 weeks, I lost almost 6 lbs. I was truly amazed.
SUGAR-FREE? I WOULD RATHER INTAKE REAL SUGAR OUT OF CANE OR COCONUT THAN EAT SOMETHING THAT SAYS SUGAR-FREE.
Anything that says sugar-free uses sugar substitutes that contain Aspartame or Erythritol. These substitutes are essentially cheaper than raw sugar in a mass production set-up, however, these chemicals do more bad than good. They contain carcinogens (main cause of cancer), just the same carcinogens you get from over-cooking processed foods like bacon, hotdogs, and what-nots. I am a Food Technologist myself and I have been working in a diet cafe in Australia which required me to make “healthy” recipes as the head R&D Pastry Chef. They wanted me to create things that say Sugar-Free, Gluten Free, Lactose Free… and whatever “Free” you could possibly think of. Guess what they ask me to use? NOTHING but chemicals. I choose not to drop the name of the cafe. I would rather zip it than get sued. LOL.
SHIFTING IS NOT EASY. IT REQUIRES A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF DEDICATION AND SELF-CONTROL.
I am not pushing anyone to be on a plant-based diet. I am simply relaying how I lost weight by eating healthy and exercising. My therapist would always tell me that 30 mins. cardio a day (dancing, pound, running, walking) is ultimately healthy for the brain. I try to do it even when I’m just at home. This is my fitness journey. I share my healthy recipes on this blog.
DIETS I’VE TRIED BUT I STILL BOUNCED BACK TO GAINING WEIGHT
Paleo Diet
Intermittent Fasting
GM Diet (for cleansing)
Military Diet
Low Carb Diet
What works for me doesn’t always mean it will work for you and vice-versa. It’s your dedication and will to change that makes it possible. Weight gain doesn’t always mean you’re getting fat. It can also mean you’re getting leaner, thus the muscle gain. Remember, skinny doesn’t always mean healthy and healthy doesn’t have to be skinny. ���

Losing Holiday Weight With NutriSystem
I wrote this Nutrisystem review to share my weight loss nutrisystem eating out story and inform, encourage and encourage others who are looking to lose weight with a straightforward and affordable weight loss program. The one drawback is of course the comfort of a weight loss program like Nutrisystem can't be emulated when you must formulate/put together/prepare dinner meals yourself! For many customers, this is no drawback as a result of they generally keep on the weight loss plan for 2 months or longer to get the full benefit of the weight loss they need. I had a NutriSystem Toffee Bar for a snack, and it was candy, crunchy, and made up for the dearth of a whole dinner. I heard about Nutrisystem and it appears like one thing he'd most likely prefer to eat. I recently heard from somebody who was involved in ordering nutrisystem but she needed to understand how her order was going to be shipped. Should you select the popular Core plan, you'd figure out your total Nutrisystem cost by first calculating your value per month. All I can say is you are going the proper means and just follow the plan and you'll be wearing even smaller dimension pants before you recognize it! The NutriSystem Superstar Review Web site gives information about the eating regimen, pictures of celebrity weight loss, an entire meals listing, the newest NutriSystem coupons / specials and a free e book. Chryseius, it's not a weight-reduction plan as a result of that is the best way Kate is still consuming with slight modifications, and it is the way in which I can be consuming for the rest of my life. NutriSystem might let you lose a number of or quite a lot of pounds, however in an effort to preserve the burden off, youre going to need to do your share of exercises. One other small concern is the terms and situations associated with ordering the product, particularly if utilizing the 28 day auto-supply program. In 2014, the corporate unveiled Nutrisystem My Approach, its new, customized plan for every individual's metabolism. Since nutrisystem has quite a lot of soybean derivatives, soy sensitivity could be one to check out first. The aspartame in the soda performs a big position in blocking IAP activity, resulting in additional weight achieve. However contemplating I used to be eating out day by day, at a cost of usually $12 or more a day for lunch, I'm actually saving cash, even buying the grocery objects. I made positive to name into Nutrisystem to clarify how the program works, the associated fee, or any additional fees I need to learn about before buying, mentioned a buyer. They have an web site online which makes ordering foods and checking suggestions or tips for this system quite simple. On the identical time, studying other people's testimonies and opinions of the Nutrisystem weight loss plan was encouraging and galvanizing, too. There are already plenty of members who, after three months, have determined to stop on the weight loss program or cheat, by going to for home-cooked meals. I started the NS plan on February 15. I have not caught with it 100% (a couple of dinners out here and there) but I'm disappointed that I solely misplaced 6.5 lbs. I did Nutrisystem about 25 years ago, when there have been facilities that you simply'd buy the food, have group conferences, and many others. As of August 2011, the two-week bundle prices $162.50. The average price of this plan is $11.61 over 14 days. The plan price is a flat rate and solely varies in line with the particular plan that you are on. The basic plan is about $seventy five per week; this worth contains all of the snacks and meals as well as this system payment. It's essential to grasp the part of this system is the addition of your individual vegetables and fruit. These days the place, this perform makes Nutrisystem actually interesting as a substitute of a program the place it's a must to name on on a weekly basis. Contemplating that this food plan offers a superb portion of your meals for you, I find this to be each handy and fairly priced. Dieters lost eight.3 pounds in a month (in contrast with solely 2.eight pounds on a self-directed weight reduction diet). Value of losing 20 pounds: $1,070 to $2,one hundred twenty, together with meals, depending on price of loss. Price: $20 for 10-week membership, plus $84 to $126 a week for Jenny Craig food. Dropping pounds is never going to be straightforward, however Nutrisystem appears to make it just about as simple as it will be. With a particular weight loss program to follow and the combination of a sensible workout plan, you should not have any drawback losing the additional weight and living a life that is leaner and healthier. These are the items that are supposed to complement the packaged meals from Nutrisystem. I simply opened my box of Nutrisystem D which I purchased from Walmart which is suppose to comprise a 7 day weight loss kit. The vegetarian plan is also balanced nutritionally, to ensure that the dieter just isn't missing out on any required nutritional vitamins and minerals. This weight-loss program has loads of desserts to choose from, including puddings, chocolate cake, cookies, and shakes. Even with the variations, Nutrisystem fails miserably in terms of quality. A typical day would possibly embody a Nutrisystem granola-like bar for breakfast, one of many model's shakes for mid-morning snack, its hen noodle soup for lunch, a serving of low-fat yogurt with contemporary blueberries for mid-afternoon (you're on your own with this one), a Nutrisystem lasagna for dinner, and one of the brand's cookies for dessert or nighttime snack. A true paleo weight loss plan is perhaps a terrific choice: very lean, pure meats, plenty of wild vegetation, stated one skilled-shortly including, however, that duplicating such a regimen in trendy times can be difficult. This supply is the reduced price related to the 28-day auto supply scheme, and ordering on a month-to-month foundation does enhance the price slightly. Once you're ready to get out of the Nutrisystem program, you're guided by way of the method so you don't acquire again the kilos you've got misplaced. Nutrisystem makes use of portion administration and coaching to help their purchasers reduce weight. This system consists of 14 days of Nutrisystem menu, free delivery, entry to weight-loss counseling and free membership in Nutrisystem's on-line neighborhood, and is priced at $148, the corporate stated in a press release. As of August 2011, the four-week enhanced bundle prices $341.50. The average price per day is $12.20 over 28 days. When I in contrast what I bought, shopping for direct from their web site and the prices for a similar product at Walmart. I plan on eating only Medifast, too full to include my very own food, so why nit save money and shed some pounds!! Hey Des, it really states on the finish of my evaluate that I'm an affiliate of Nutrisystem. Thank you so much for taking the time to publish your evaluate, we appreciate it. We are happy to hear that you just enjoyed your expertise on this system. Pancakes are great when you throw in a pinch of baking soda and let the batter sit for a few minues. Overall, the well being consultants had been lukewarm on veganism despite giving it pretty high marks as a diabetes or coronary heart-illness food regimen. It helps to get coupons for this food, but both manner, it's typically less expensive than what you'd pay in the event you attempted to buy groceries and then cook food regimen food for yourself. Yes, it does and it is without doubt one of the advisable ways of getting on track along with your diet. This is the primary food regimen I've been on the place i don't have to make a ton of decisions and I feel totally glad all day long! It's principally 30 cans of Chef Boyardee and Campbell's soup in NutriSystem packaging. Jenny Craig rated No. sixteen, with some unfavourable feedback based mostly on worth of meals and commission-primarily based incentive actions of program representatives. Value: Choose the $39.95 month-to-month pass, which includes unlimited meetings and on-line support. The author will analysis the Nutrisystem eating regimen and determine that they wish to give it a strive.
Atkins has been proven as unhealthy as it's unnatural and in some circumstances even harmful to thoroughly lower out carbs from your food plan. Chryseius, it's not a weight loss plan because that is the way in which Kate remains to be consuming with slight modifications, and it is the best way I shall be consuming for the remainder of my life. I assume all weight-reduction plan plans have their complainers, just like most issues individuals will all the time find something to complain about. It is a comprehensive program that can lead to more healthy consuming behaviors, one skilled mentioned. Perhaps: Choose this more excessive plan provided that quick weight reduction is your precedence. This strategy is vastly completely different than the frozen or shelf-secure meals accessible in the other program choices. They do not seem to promote as much on television as Nutrisystem and Medifast. There are special offers and discounts on the Nutrisystem menu listed on the official web site , including free transport and decreased pricing. Though the meals are served in small proportions, NutriSystem Evaluations say this weight-reduction plan is more forgiving than others. But I completed a two month weight loss plan with Nutrisystem three months ago and up to now I have not gained an ounce of the 18 pounds I lost in that point!

6.1.2017
On Tuesday, May 30, Wilson and I went to my regular prenatal check-up. I was 1 day away from my due date, and really anxious to have the baby. I thought about the possibility of going into labor or my water breaking basically every single minute of the day. When I brushed my teeth, I’d wonder if I’d have a contraction before I would finish. When I drove to work, I pictured hitting a pothole and breaking my water. When I sat down at my work desk, I’d wonder if I’d make it to the end of the day without going into labor. I was obsessed. I read this thing that said waiting for your baby to be born is like waiting to pick someone up at the airport. Except you don’t know when the flight is, or who you’re picking up.
At my appointment, everything was looking good/normal. When the doctor took out the doppler to check the baby’s heartbeat, it took her a really long time to find it. I wasn’t worried at all because I could feel the baby moving all day every day, including WHILE she was looking for the heartbeat. She finally found it way up by my ribs, which was NOT where it should be! The baby was definitely not in the “ready position”. My doctor did a quick ultrasound to confirm…and yes, the baby was breech. Again.
My doctor called the hospital to have them schedule me a c section ASAP. She told me that the next evening I’d get a call with my exact scheduled c-section time and I’d go in on Thursday, June 1st.
I called my work and told them I’d see them in September and decided to take Wednesday to prepare myself! I filed my state disability paperwork, installed the car seat, and FINALLY packed my hospital bag. On Wednesday evening, I waited for my call from the hospital to get my surgery time. My doctor told me I’d get the call pretty late because they wait until the very end of the day to schedule for the next day to avoid cancellations/schedule changes. At 9pm, I still hadn’t heard from them, so I decided to call. They had me scheduled….for June 8! I was like, um..no. I need an appointment TOMORROW! They were able to fit me in and told me to be there at 9:30.
I was so excited, I could barely sleep! So a typical night. During my last few weeks (or months?) of pregnancy, I pretty much did not sleep. With the bathroom breaks, constant kicking/punching in my womb and the need for a large crane to reposition me in my bed every time I needed to move…well, sleep did not come easy. To be honest, I’m getting way more sleep now than I did when I was pregnant.
The next morning, Wilson and I made our way to Roseville. I wanted to give birth in the hospital in Vacaville which is way closer to home and where I took the hospital tour…but for a scheduled c section, I had to go to Roseville. Don’t ask me to explain why because I don’t know. But I heard Roseville was super fancy, the best hospital…it was nice, but Vacaville was better. But…after giving birth in the Dominican Republic, I won’t complain!
When I checked in, there was a lady in the waiting area with me who said she thought her water had broken. That was exciting. Anyway, I got checked into a triage room…which are like the smallest, most uncomfortable rooms. But they said I’d only be there for a little while so it was fine. I was in a bed so it didn’t bother me, but there was nowhere for Wilson to sit, except for the spinny stool the doctors sit on when they come to check on you. Typically the triage rooms are just to determine whether or not the women are in labor, and then they get moved to the delivery rooms right away. I got hooked up to the IV, prepped for surgery and I was completely ready to go….and then my surgery got bumped back. Again. And again. And again. Finally, they were ready for me a little after 2pm. So we spent quite a while in that tiny room!
I have a complaint about the Roseville Kaiser now…
There was a window on the operating room door. So anyone that walked by could see me completely. In the nude. Oh well.
Once I was plugged into all the machines and full of the necessary numbing solutions, I laid down and I felt SUPER nauseous right away. I started gagging, but I was numb, so I didn’t have the strength to throw up. It was weird. I thought I was going to die for a second because I had to really focus to fill up my lungs with air…my chest just felt SO heavy. I was super scared and started kind of panicking! They gave me a shot to make the nausea go away and it worked super fast…within ten seconds. I wished I had a stash of those earlier in my pregnancy! Once the nausea was gone, I felt so much better and my anxiety went away.
They let Wilson in, and I could tell he was really nervous. I didn’t know if he’d survive the OR because he even had to leave the room when Maya got stitches on her foot. He kept rubbing my hair and my face and I think it more to calm himself down than for me! Everything happened so fast, and before we knew it, the baby was out! Everyone kept saying over and over how big his head was. I was grateful that he was breech haha. They also said he was SO big and so chunky, etc. I felt bad for him…they were totally body shaming my newborn.
They weighed him, and I guess they were right! He WAS a big boy- 9 lbs, 2 oz, 20.75 inches long, born at 2:57pm. Wilson cut the umbilical cord, and they brought the baby over to me and I got to hold him. I could not believe that whole baby fit inside of me!
After a while, Wilson went with the baby to the recovery room and I followed a little later. I was pretty amazed that at that point, I could already move my legs a little! I had flashbacks to Maya’s delivery where even the next morning the nurses had to like flip me around to clean me because I couldn’t move still. Things were so different this time…in a good way!
We spent a few hours in the recovery area, where they have a nurse with you 24/7, and during that time we had our first visit from my parents, who brought Maya. Maya is always very shy when we take her to meet babies in the hospital, but this time she was more brve and outgoing and even wanted to hold the baby. It was so exciting and sweet to see my two babies together…she waited so long for that moment! Wilson surprised me with roses and balloons, which was so nice. I love a good balloon bouquet.
After a few hours, they moved us to our regular room. It was nice, but not as nice as the rooms I saw on the tours in Vacaville. But, on the other hand, it was MUCH nicer than my hospital room in the DR. Perspective.
At this point, I could fully move my legs. I had pretty much no pain, but I was still moving pretty slowly because I was just a few hours recovered from major abdominal surgery. I had to keep reminding myself of that, because I honestly felt great. The only time I felt a little pain was when I’d go from a laying position to sitting up….the muscles required for that were just not firing correctly. But it was not bad AT ALL.
My nurse came in to help me stand up. She told me that I could take it slow, and if I got up and realized it was too much, I could just dangle my legs off the side of the bed instead. We just needed to get some blood flowing. In my mind, I was like oh, this is going to be easy! I can like run up the hallways right now! And guess what? It WAS easy! Ok, I wasn’t quite running up the hallway….but not only did I stand, I walked. And the nurse had given me a walker but I didn’t need it at all.
To compare to my recovery with Maya again...the day after my c section I was barely able to stand up straight and I was just barely hobbling along…definitely could’ve used a walker! But this time, it was just like 4 hours after surgery and I was walking fine! It was so crazy. I kept waiting for the pain to come, the meds to wear off or whatever…but it really never happened. My recovery was amazing and fast. Wilson had to keep telling me to slow down because I would kind of forget I just had surgery. I don’t know if they accidentally cut out something that made me feel no pain? Haha. But my doctor was definitely some kind of magician. I never even took anything stronger than ibuprofen (except during surgery, obviously).
Our first night with Luke was…sleepless! Wilson actually had to be at work the very next day at 5am so he had planned to leave and sleep at home, but the baby kept spitting up blood, which was scary. Wilson decided to stay (thank goodness). The doctors told us it was completely normal, especially for c section babies to have blood and amniotic fluid that they cough up for the first few days so they weren’t concerned…but there is just something unsettling about hearing your newborn choking on blood every half hour during the first night of his life.
The next day, Wilson left for work and I was alone!! I was super nervous about this before giving birth…I told Wilson it would be impossible for me to handle the baby on my own right after surgery…but it turns out, I felt great and was able to take care of the baby with no problems! Also, he was sleeping pretty much allllll day, which helped. In fact, at this point, I hadn’t even really seen his eyes! I think he was not ready to be born yet. Sometimes he would like flutter his eyelids and raise his eyebrows and you could just tell he wanted to open them, but he couldn’t quite get it. We had our second round of visitors on Friday- my brother and his family and my mom and Maya came again. I even got dressed for the occasion. Well, just FYI, when you give birth they give you a special lactation hospital gown…with 2 holes for your boobs. So its not really something you want to be wearing to greet visitors.
The baby continued to sleep for hours at a time, which was amazing. But right before we got discharged on Saturday morning, a lactation consultant came to see us and said they were concerned about is weight loss. He had lost 8% of his weight…which was not a big deal, as long as he didn’t lose any more. They delivered a hospital grade pump to my house to use and told me to wake up the baby every 2 hours to feed him. And thus ended my sleep.
We left the hospital around noon on Saturday and we actually rode in the elevator with the lady from the waiting room while we were checking in…apparently her water HAD broken because there she was with a baby!
Looking back on my birth experience, I would say I have zero regrets. It didn’t go how I had hoped/planned, but I really can’t complain about how things turned out. Plus, I’m super grateful I did not birth a 9lb baby vaginally. The past 9 weeks have been quite a blur (hence the super delayed post...), but we are completely happy with our sweet baby boy!
You survived this post, time for some pictures!!

Mom Loses 107 lbs. to Spite Husband and Mistress Who Called Her Fat
Betsy Ayala, 34, lost 107 lbs. (Image via Instagram)
Betsy Ayala, 34, gave birth to a baby girl named Bella in 2013. Mere months later, Ayala discovered texts that not only revealed her husband was cheating on her, but that he and his mistress had been mocking her for her weight.
The Texas woman, who weighed 264 lbs. at the time, says she was trying to get into shape when she discovered the cruel messages.
“I found out my husband was cheating on me with a co-worker,” Ayala told the outlet Honey. “I had been with him since I was 17 and pretty much devoted my life to our relationship and him.”
“I was devastated,” she added. “I found out through some messages I read on his Facebook where they were calling me a cow and fat and just trashing me and my whole world fell apart.” The new mother was heartbroken.
“I didn’t know what to do with myself at the time. I was still over 100 kgs (220 lbs.) with a six-month-old and everything that I had worked for had just vanished,” she said.
#TBT … This pic was November 2013 … I was already about 20 lbs into my journey and was so excited because I could fit into my pre pregnancy size 22 jeans. I think the largest I ever wore that wasn’t maternity was 24 ???? … I show Isabella some of the old pics of me and she says she doesn’t know who that is lol ????- I never could have imagined what was going to happen in the next couple of months much less years but if there’s one thing I know for sure is that life is amazing and when you’re going through a difficult time through gods grace and your faith anything is possible … ????????????❤️ #godissogood ———————————————— #blessed #changeyourlife #ownit #lightthematch #alwaysinpursuit #queenb #iamherbalife #iamofthislife #100lbs #fueledbyherbalife #watchme #orjoinme #livethelifeyoulove #lovethelifeyoulive #wellnesscoach #healthcoach #herbalife24 #fitness #fitchick #powerupfit #bestlifeever #dreams #fitspo #noexcuses #motivation #weightloss #weightlosstransformation #joinmyteam

Remarkably, Ayala was able to channel the feelings of betrayal into determination and drive. She started small, cutting out sugary snacks and began working out with her sister and doing Zumba, expelling pent up anger in her gym sessions.
Fast forward to 2017, Ayala has lost more than 100 lbs. and is now an Herbalife wellness coach for others trying to lose weight. Today the single mom says she’s thankful for the whole heartbreaking experience.
“Now I honestly feel that what he did was a blessing because otherwise I would have been the way I was forever.”
“I prayed all the time for my life to change and my prayers were answered just maybe not in the way I envisioned but I got a second shot at a fresh start and I’m grateful for that,” she said.
A post shared by Betsy Ayala ⬇️ 105 LBS (@queen_b_b) on Feb 5, 2017 at 2:48pm PST
While Ayala’s cheating ex-husband may have given her body transformation the original jolt it needed, the mom eventually changed her attitude about getting into shape.
“I would cry after every workout and it was then that I decided that this would not define me and I was going to change for me and for my daughter. I wanted her to be proud of her mom and I wanted to be an example for her,” she said.
Ayala hopes to transfer her love of working out to her children, something she herself didn’t have as a child.
“I was always the chubby kid,” she said.
#TransformationTuesday ???????????? … Why can’t I eat whatever I want like that girl and be thin? It’s ok my day was so stressful I’ll “treat” myself and start again on Monday! I don’t need a shake or help I can do this “naturally” and by myself. I’ll start as soon as I get the gym membership. I’ll start as soon as I buy that fancy treadmill. It’s my birthday month l’ll start next month. It’s the holidays I’ll start January. ???? All things I would tell myself over and over and over for like 20+ years. Until in all honesty my life fell apart and this amazing company found me exactly when I needed it the most. The question I get asked the most … YES I lost all 102 lbs on Herbalife and if it works? Well I think results speak for themselves. When I came to terms with my reality I gained the power to change it the moment what I wanted was bigger than my excuses. ???????????????? ———————————————— #Consumers who use Herbalife Formula 1 twice per day as part of a healthy lifestyle can generally expect to lose around 0.5 to 1 pound per week. Participants in a 12-week, single-blind, study used Formula 1 twice per day (once as a meal and once as a snack) with a reduced calorie diet and a goal of 30 minutes of exercise per day. Participants followed either a high protein diet or a standard protein diet. Participants in both groups lost about 8.5 pounds.

“I never played sports or wanted to take in physical activity because I was overweight. I did get bullied in school and got picked on. I think for me eating was like self-medication.”
Ayala’s story and journey has garnered a lot of attention. She now has more than 81,000 followers on Instagram and is doing the rounds on U.S. television — she was recently interviewed by talk show host Steve Harvey.
You know what they say, success is the sweetest revenge.

Round 1 – And So It Begins…
Hawthorne Hills Golf Course, Saukville, WI 53074. Front Nine, Par 36, 3,057 yards Sunday, Jan 1, 2017, 11:52am, 38 degrees, 5 mph wind, partly sunny 50% Snow coverage, 1-2“ deep, icy, hard snow
I had just taken a dorky selfie of myself in my winter golf gear in the reflective window of the Hawthorne Hills clubhouse when I noticed a police officer pulling slowly into the parking lot and lurking around my car – the only one in the lot. My stomach knotted up with the thought that the start of my 52 week journey was about to hit a major speed bump and maybe get canned all together. I was not sure of any laws forbidding golf play on a closed public course during the winter but I feared that I was about to hear bad news on this front. As I walked towards the police cruiser, I thought about how stupid this winter golfing idea may sound to the officer and how I could possibly spin it to my advantage. When I reached the cruiser, the tinted window slid down and a young male officer greeted me with a friendly smile. I quickly blurted to the officer that I was just out to play a little winter golf. Now where’s the crime in that?
I am in my late 50’s, a Port Washington, WI resident, a Development Director for a large financial services company, a 13 handicapper, and for some reason I absolutely love golf. I now needed golf to provide a bucket list type challenge to save me from the corporate work craziness that was blocking my creative outlets. So I came up with the idea to play 52 different courses in Wisconsin over all 52 weeks of the year. It would be a journey battling the seasonal elements while opening up my golfing experience to many unfamiliar Wisconsin courses. The following are my starting goals and rules. I’m sure they will be adjusted during the year as this journey takes shape.
Starting Goals: A. play 52 different Wisconsin courses, one per week. B. Become much more knowledgeable about official PGA rules C. Shoot par for 9 holes in one of the rounds D. Document this journey on a blog E. Engage friends, family, and strangers to join me on this journey F. Get in better shape, strengthen my back, get down to 195 lbs. G. Determine best rules and tools for playing winter golf. G.1 Avoid hitting innocent park visitors (e.g. sledders, dog walkers, dogs, cross country skiers, etc.) G.2 Avoid falling thru ice to the point of getting at least one foot submerged. G.3 Greatly minimize course impacts such as divots and footprints on the greens and fairways. H. Produce a coffee table book on this journey for my grand kids
Starting Rules: 1. Play once per calendar week – Sunday thru Saturday 2. Play 52 different courses (can be 9 hole courses, but no par 3 courses) 3. Play official PGA rules when courses are officially open 4. Play all holes (max 18) when course open 5. Play only 9 holes when course closed in the offseason 6. Play with regulation golf balls 7. Always keep score 8. Walk all rounds – unless carts are mandatory. No pull carts. 9. Winter golf has special rules – and I need to make them up. 9.1. Use two rubber tees for all off green shots – to avoid ripping up the winter grass. 9.2. Use just two clubs, typically a driver and a mid-high iron. Either club can be used to putt with when putting allowed. 9.3. Greens covered in snow are called “Whites” and cannot be putt on. 9.4. Only putt on greens without any snow and have holes in place. 9.5. Take automatic 2-putt score for greens that can’t be putt on.
Of course I didn’t explain all of this to the nice officer. He was fine with the simple explanation of winter golf and responded with a friendly smile of approval. I always over worry these public servant encounters. Always.
So one of the fun challenges of this journey is what to wear during ugly weather conditions. For golf, ugly weather conditions means excessive cold (< 45 degrees), snow (in the air on the ground), ice (on the water and the ground), heat (> 90 degrees), rain (heavy downpour), or wind (> 20 mph). With living in Wisconsin for the past 30 years, I already have a decent stock of winter clothing but I certainly looked forward to buying a few new cool winter gear items to assist me in this journey.
Here’s my opening day ensemble – nothing too exciting for a 38 degree golf day. The Merrill boots and head gaiter were the only special purchases for this first round. · Merrill hiking boots with ultra warm socks over regular athletic socks · Jeans with rain golf pants · 5 layers of tops (compression shirt, light turtleneck, liner jacket, heavy sweatshirt, fleece vest) · Winter hat, gaiter, sunglasses half time. · Left and right golf gloves · Winter golf gloves and warm mittens - in case golf gloves were not warm enough · Camelback backpack to hold Gatorade, extra balls, gloves · Fanny pack to hold playing balls and tees and phone
And my golfing equipment consisted of:
· Tommy Armour Driver (from my son’s clubs which he never uses – he’s in SF) · Ping 4 iron (from my old set) · 2 rubber tees - 2” and 4” · 20 colored golf balls – I expected to lose a lot in the snow today · Long plastic garden rake from Home Depot – for finding balls in snow
The idea about just carrying two clubs was trying to keep things very light – and easy on my sore back. I wanted to avoid carrying a golf bag, even a very light one to see how light and quickly I could travel thru the snowy course. The rake was for digging out balls in the snow. So I was actually carrying 3 sticks around for my first winter round. Probably a bit overkill with the rake, but it was super light.
So with my brush with the law behind me, I moseyed up to the first tee. Number 1 is a par 4, hard dogleg right with a large pond protecting the shortcut to the green. Left of the fairway was a decent hill coming down from the elevated parking lot. This hill normally provides an excellent sledding hill for the kiddies in the winter. Fortunately today there were no sledders on the hill because the snow coverage was light and icy. Add sledders to this picture and I’d be starting on the 10th hole per Goal G.1.
I selected the front nine at Hawthorne Hills mainly because it was off of the main road and I wouldn’t embarrass myself in front of folks driving by. The front nine also has a bit more character and is harder than the back nine. More water holes which makes it more interesting, especially in a frozen sort of way. After moving up to Port Washington a few years back, I’ve shot a 40 on the Hawthorne front nine 3 times, but never broke 40. The final 3 holes always do me in, especially the long par 3 8th. Keeping my focus in the later holes has always been challenging for me. My mild case of A.D.D. does not help relative to breaking 40.
I pulled out the tall white rubber tee and selected a yellow MOJO golf ball from my fanny pack. I laid down my rake and iron and swung my driver around to loosen up my back. My back has been giving me a lot of trouble lately, often stiffening up on me and causing me to miss a fair number of Old Timer League soccer matches in the past month. I was definitely worried that my back would stiffen up during this round and I’d be forced to bag the round. I should have loosened up more but I’m really lazy at doing that. I’d rather start out slowly and warm up as I go. Swinging with umpteen layers of upperwear and a Camelback on my back was awkward but I figured I only had to swing about 70% full speed to make this work. With the hard ground and ice I was likely going to get huge bounces and roll with many of my shots. – even with easy swings.
With the back somewhat loosened up, I positioned myself over the teed up yellow ball and focused on taking a nice easy swing, keeping the club head a good 4 inches above the ground. I took what I thought was an easy swing, I heard the club hit something, and I looked up in the sky to find the ball which I thought I had popped up. After failing to find my ball in the blue and white sky, I listened for the contact ahead of me, but never heard a sound. I then looked down to the tee and saw my little yellow ball lying right beside the knocked over tee. It looked like I had hit ground while barely grazing the tee or ball with my club head, leaving both tee and ball close to home. The start of a long journey begins with the first step. Well this was quite the baby step. Ok, maybe this was really a stupid idea.
I don’t believe in mulligans in golf. Life doesn’t usually give you mulligans – there are no do overs. I once did something really stupid at my son’s First Communion celebration and I’ll never be able to undo that. I should have thought about that beforehand. Suffer the consequences of your actions and move on. So I teed up again and prepared to play my second shot. I’m not going to penalize myself an extra shot since my rules of winter golf allow me to tee up every shot outside of the green (Rule 9.1). I don’t want to hack up the ground during winter golf so I figure that playing every shot off a tee will make it more enjoyable and reasonable given the unique field conditions - ice, snow, rock hard ground, solid sand, etc. So my drive technically went 1 inch to the left and now I am teeing up again to hit my second shot. My drives will only get better from here on out. Life is all about perspectives.
I realigned myself for my second driving attempt, focusing again on keeping the driver head up around 4 inches from the ground and making easy, solid contact with what I was now referring to as the “damn yellow ball”. Still no sledders appearing on the hill along the left side of the fairway so I was still clear of killing small children with an errant drive. Of course, how harmful can 1 inch drives be to children 200 yards away? I swung easy again with my driver and saw the big white rubber tee flying out in front of me and landing around ten yards away. I looked up to find the ball in the clear sky while once again listening for its impending contact with the hard ground. No sound again. Shut up! I looked down to the original tee spot and saw the “freakin’ yellow ball” still down there. That’s just awesome! What a loser. It may take me 52 hours just to finish this first round. I didn’t officially measure this drive but it was probably around 2 inches in length – almost twice the distance of my first drive. Not that’s what I call an improvement! I’m certainly glad I decided to play this fist round by myself to avoid the embarrassment of situations like this. OK, who am I kidding? No way would I have been able to convince anyone to join me on this whacky adventure in January in Wisconsin. On New Years day no less.
Time to move on from the first tee misery. I cranked down my swing a bit further to maybe 50% and finally hit a nice easy drive, popped up to around 100 yards down the middle of the sloping fairway. I saw the ball land but I could not follow its bounce and wasn’t sure if it stuck around the 100 yard mark, caromed off a piece of ice and went 50 yards left or right, or continued another 100 yards down the fairway like a super ball bouncing off a concrete pavement. The variableness of the ground hardness and the related whacky bounces were going to be one of the most entertaining (and challenging) aspects of winter golf. I’m sure they will contribute to driving the ball farther than I have ever before (300+ yards) and spending much more time trying to find my shots.
I found my 3rd drive attempt around the 100 yard mark so I didn’t get any benefits from the hard ground. I probably landed in a small patch of snow which muffled the bounce, but at least it didn’t fully consume it and hide it away from view. I was still around 250 yards from the green and I pulled out my short rubber tee for an iron shot to simply get it safely down the fairway and away from the frozen pond at the elbow of the dogleg. If I hit it on the pond then it would probably roll to the other side and make for a very difficult fifth shot. Or it could roll to the middle of the pond and I’d be forced to decide on Goal G.2 as far as walking on the ice. So I miss hit my 4 iron to just about 20 yards in front of me, failing badly to calibrate the rubber tee and missing most of the ball. It was going to take a while to get a hang of the teed up iron shots. Maybe I need a shorter short rubber tee. Isn’t that often the case?
In winter golf the green is typically covered with a fine white snow. It seems appropriate that I should refer to greens covered with snow as “whites”. That actually makes my descriptions less colorful (greens to whites) but more technically accurate. Hopefully it helps set more of a winter golf mood. So let’s start hitting some more whites in regulation, eh?
I used my 4 iron again on my fifth shot and hit a little better shot around 100 yards down the fairway and safely away from the pond. Still not a clean iron shot. With a little over 100 yards to go, I hit my sixth shot higher in the air, straight towards the white. I didn’t get the hard ground bounce I was looking for and the ball stopped a few yards short of the white. A little pitch onto the white for my 7th shot along with the auto-2 putt gave me a beasty 9 for my first winter hole. Wow, a quintuple bogey to start out with. I’m exhausted. But then again, a nice setup for future improvement. And I didn’t lose a ball or kill a small child. Not a bad start, right?
So a quick word about the auto-2-putt rule. Per Goal G.3, I really don’t want to mess with the whites (i.e. greens) during winter golf. The thing that could really kill winter golf is if hackers like me starting to beat up the whites with footprints from heavy boots. So I really want to limit walking on the whites. The main challenge with winter golf is just traversing the course and getting a regular golf ball to the whites. I may adjust this rule over time and add something awarding a 0 or 1 putt but it would have to be with low impact to the whites. And a rule change would never open this up to a 3 putt possibility. I want to save my special 3 putting abilities for regular warm weather golf.
OK, so I would absolutely bore you to death if I went thru the other 8 holes in this excruciating detail. So I ended up shooting a massive 57 for my first winter round of golf. A couple of bogeys, some double and triple bogeys and my quint at the first. It’s fairly difficult to hit a white in regulation and get a par (with auto-2-putt). The best shot at par is on a par 3. A birdie is really hard to get and probably most likely on a par 5 with a lot of hard bounces and roll. For a guy who is always trying to break 40 for 9, getting a 57 was very humbling, especially without tallying any 3-putts. But it was a start. I could sense that the real challenge was going to be shooting a bogey round. We’ll see.
I did end up losing just 2 balls, much fewer than I had anticipated (I carried 20 in my Camelback). I lost them after hitting wayward shots into the trees and not having a clue where the balls came down. I was close to losing a number of other balls as well as it’s hard to determine how far a ball is going to go when there are patches of snow covering half of the ground. Hit a thick snow patch and the ball will stop where it lands. Hit the hard ground next to a snow patch and the ball may go another 50 + yards. There were 3 water holes but I didn’t come close to hitting on the ice of any of them. And the plastic garden rake was useless. I didn’t use it once as the snow was too hard and the balls were never buried that much in the snow. Stupid idea for these conditions. But maybe a small shovel will come in handy in the future if the snow is soft and deep.
I did run into a double dog walker who was very amused to see me out hacking it up in the snow. We exchanged greetings at the third tee and then he made sure to safely walk his dogs in the opposite direction of the third fairway. Goal G.1 achieved. I do need to take more pictures though of my man and beast encounters on the course.
My lower back was really hurting during the round. It didn’t help constantly putting down and picking up the clubs and rake throughout the round. Combine that with bending down to place and pickup balls and tees and I was doing way too much bending over. I need to solve that problem in the next round. Lightweight bag? I was also surprised that I got by with the standard golf gloves on both hands. As long as I put my hands in my vest between shots, my hands stayed warm. Using thicker gloves would have made it much tougher to grip the clubs and therefore harder to play.
Final Score: 57. 0 pars, 2 lost balls, playing time 1 hour and 58 minutes. I probably spent 30 minutes looking for balls in the snow. All in all not too bad of an effort in these conditions. Game on…

Free Skin and Weight Damage
The amount you possess wondered about loose pores and skin? How many have pondered how to get free of it? Well, now I'm here today to aid you out a little bit. I benefit from a professional medical reconstructive and cosmetic surgical treatment practice in Nj-new jersey and even I get this query in emails all typically the time. People attempting in order to lose weight but are usually concerned about having unfastened skin. First, let me personally tell you which i is within no position to provide anyone advice, I not a dietician, nor are I a plastic physician but I do the job for many surgeons plus all my information arrives directly from them. Typically the number one thing that will they will tell a person is to not get worried about your loose epidermis. Being healthy and attempting to be healthy is the number 1 job. Being wholesome contributes to a happier individual, a happier you prospects to a proper happy living. I will explain even more why this is thus. What Happens to our own Skin? Loose skin arises when you lose a few weight faster than your skin layer has time to recoil, so pregnant women following giving birth will include some loose skin, men and women experiencing a mild in order to severe weight-loss will, in addition, have loose skin. Free skin occurs because when your body stretches by way of weight gain or maternity; the skin loses its flexibility. To higher understand what takes place to our skin once we lose weight we ought to first require a quick search at how we burn off fat. When we lose bulk by burning fat, the particular fat doesn't just vanish as we would enjoy it too, instead each of our fat changes forms. If we eat, glucose plus sugar are harnessed by the carbohydrates we eat; this becomes our bodies' first fuel source which is stored away in typically the form of glycogen in order to be released into typically the bloodstream as necessary. When our bodies go out regarding this energy then excess fat takes over during some sort of process called ketosis. Throughout ketosis, our hormones after that activate an enzyme throughout fat tissue which ignites to release triglycerides of which then break into 3 components of glycerol and even three fatty acid organizations in a process named lipolysis. The liver next absorbs the glycerol with regard to energy and the fast move to the muscle tissue for energy. Because typically the fat tissue is eliminated of some of their components, it shrinks so does the skin yet as stated before just to an extent. Skin area stretches because rapid fat gain or growth (ex. pregnancy) outpaces collagen generation in your skin which usually causes areas to overstretch. Just as plastic will certainly tear when stretched also far, so will pores and skin in terms of stretch marks. In cases associated with massive weight loss, in which individuals lose 100 pounds. and over, folds regarding extra skin remains since the skin had become thus outstretched that it weighs from the thinner human body like a rubber music group that has lost their elasticity. In cases associated with moderate weight loss, skin area can certainly shrink back again to fit the human body's new size because of firmness. However, collagen fibers deteriorate with age and some various other factors thus resulting in wrinkles. The factors of which verify the flexibility of your skin are dependent upon the person and include whether typically the individual smokes, their contest, sun damage, genetics, plus even how often their particular weight has fluctuated considerably. Consequently in a sense, typically the actual amount of shed skin you might possess is unknown as this is dependent on several other factors and furthermore why the concern associated with loose skin shouldn't become one factor in your expectations of reducing your weight. The desire and effort to get wholesome will do your physique and life a thousand more favors than having to worry about loose skin will certainly. Being healthy and undertaking the necessary actions to become so will add in order to your motivation in living, your self-confidence, your job ethic, you name it. Moderate to Moderate Weight Damage In cases of slight to moderate weight reduction, surgery is not expected and loose skin could actually be prevented. Since mentioned before, healthy proteins in the skin referred to as elastin allows the pores and skin to shrink back in order to regular size. Nevertheless, when going through excess weight loss, losing 20-30 weight is very different coming from losing 80 lbs. or even more. In the situation of moderate weight damage, there are ways to be able to slow up the amount of ensuing excess skin through physical exercise, muscle-building, eating properly, being hydrated through losing typically the weight slowly. The exercise that will include increasing muscle strengthen can tighten connective tissues and help stretch the particular skin mainly because it essentially works as a filler for your skin instead of extra fat tissue. By consuming the particular proper amount of meals and water everyday time will make sure that will your skin absorbs the mandatory nutrients. Water is some sort of crucial component of sustaining skin elasticity and a person should be taking throughout at the least 2 liters every day. Both ingredients of which keep skin plump plus elastic are elastin and even collagen, the protein-rich food to help form these kinds of is found in holiday cottage cheese, legumes, tofu, dairy, beans, seeds, nuts, plus fish. For optimal assimilation, try to consume these kinds of calories of protein soon after your workout. Crash diet programs and excessive amounts involving exercise can rapidly drop muscle and fat-causing in huge damage of support for your current skin as the fundamental muscular structure that supports skin against your body system is lost. It is usually important to strive for one particular to two pounds regarding weight loss per week plus be sure to contain weight lifting to retain your muscles strong plus able. Loose skin might occur and that is definitely okay, it is all-natural and will shrink in order to an extent over moment. When this occurs that is important to nurture and take care associated with your skin by day by day exfoliation to remove departed skin cells and raise circulation. Skin tightening lotions with ingredients such as seeing that aloe vera, hyaluronic chemical p, yeast extract, e vitamin, Chemical, A can help to be able to hydrate and increase collagen and elastin formation. Create sure to avoid severe soaps and shampoos although limiting the amount involving sun exposure. Tanning booths and chlorinated water will certainly decrease skin elasticity. Serious Fat loss As mentioned in the past, in cases of some sort of severe massive weight reduction of 100 lbs. and even over through traditional excess weight loss or fat loss surgical treatment, there are some critical health issues. First, weight loss surgery is not really a swift fix, surgeons recommend possessing a regular diet plus exercise plan even right after the surgery in order to keep pounds stable to ensure typically the efforts of the surgical procedure are maintained. Weight-loss surgical treatment of over 100 pounds. will result in reduce skin and while healthcare surgeons will remove typically the weight, the extra skin is definitely not removed. This really is a thing not all patients recognize before-hand resulting in individuals possessing a poor body picture as it was not necessarily what they were wanting sometimes causing emotional pressure. The surplus skin that outcomes from weight-loss surgery plus a severe drop within weight (100lbs. +) might cause health defects mainly because there is so a lot of loose skin that typically the skin becomes a medical condition alone. Folds of skin coming from massive weight damage may result in psychological and actual physical problems. The physical difficulties that derive from unfastened apron-like skin are an intertrigo-a bacterial, fungal, or virus-like infection that occurs generally due to the problems in keeping these folds over of excess skin clear and dry. The skin area could also cause backaches and ulcerations. Psychological troubles occur when body graphic expectations are certainly not met; a good individual may lose 100+ pounds and not recognize the effects of reducing skin. So their amazing effort into losing bodyweight results in having apron-like folds of skin. There are several treatment options for these types of severe cases of enormous weight loss and a lot are resolved with cosmetic surgery. Post-bariatric surgical treatment and body lifts include many body areas while patients have loose pores and skin not only on the belly but also through typically the face, neck, thighs, bottom, arms, and breast. Medical procedures will leave small plus large noticeable scars although most patients find these types of acceptable and enjoy even more self-confidence when wearing a swimsuit. Depending on the sufferer, procedures may be chosen selectively focusing on one of the most troublesome areas. For example, someone who has lost a moderate amount of pounds but provides a mild sum of loose skin could have just an abdomen tuck to take out remaining body fat and skin in the particular abdomen area. Men who else have gone through the massive weight-loss sometimes end result in sagging or big breasts also known mainly because of gynecomastia. Here liposuction on their own could possibly be satisfactory, however, this kind of is not typical and even breast augmentation or decrease may be necessary. Every individual differs which is definitely why it is important to first speak or even have a consultation having a board-certified plastic cosmetic surgeon. Your surgeon will get able to identify a new high level00 good prospect for surgery and may guide you through diverse procedures that will finally provide you with the satisfactory body a person would like to accomplish. There are insurance alternatives for severe cases just as those stated earlier; this will be because excess skin may cause serious medical problems that are not just cosmetic. Once again studying speak with a new surgeon to create a complete plan that is finest for you.

Hydroxycut Hardcore CLA Elite Non Stimulant
Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email
I am guessing you are here to lose weight?
And you are wondering which Hydroxycut product will help?
Well you are in luck we have featured the top 3 products to help you lose
Weight in the compare section at the bottom of the page.
But first imagine this
It’s a beautiful summer’s morning and you look at your window and out of the corner of your eye you notice your neighbor swing open his front door and emerge with a heavy rain coat, a top hat and a pipe extending from his mouth next a big ploom of smoke belches from his mouth. That is rather strange you think.
The next day again you are looking out of your window.
Then suddenly your neighbor swings open his door OH MY GOD!!!
Now he is wearing the tightest swimming trunks you have ever seen! He is donning a thick chest wig and he has an orange life boy strapped over his back!. Has he lost his mind? Naturally the next morning your primed and ready in anticipation will your neighbor appear as this time! But before you even wake you hear boom boom boom the whole bedroom is shaking you rush to the window and your neighbor is half naked. He has a full crest of decorative feathers around his head, a thick orange tan and a very modest leather buckskin loincloth covering his private parts.
With vigorous gesticulations and whooping your neighbor then proceeds to dance around the campfire he has built on on the front porch, you can barely contain your amazement! How does this relate to Hydroxycut you’re probably asking?
Well friends hydroxycut are like the neighbor they are bit strange every now and again they release a new product with fancy new packaging “sports” “for women” “max” “CLA Elite” the problem is most of them contain the same ingredients! Yes some change some minor ingredients but nearly all contain copious amounts of caffeine and C.canephora robusta – (Green Coffee Extract) So the question is does Hardcore CLA Elite offer anything else? does it work? And does it even appear in the top 3? (see the compare section)
Hydroxycut CLA Elite belongs to the hydroxycut sports range designed for both men and women. It is one of only a few Hydroxycut supplements to be non stimulant that does not contain caffeine. The company promote CLA Elite as being specially formulated for people who have a more active lifestyle and It comes in soft gel capsules.
Hydroxycut has been in the market for over 20 years now and it is also known as one of the leading dietary supplements in America. However, despite its acclaimed fame, the brand had actually undergone some reformulations in the past years due to health scares. These reports linked hydroxycut to some serious health problems such as Hepatotoxicity. As of today the formulations are no longer linked to lawsuits but they certainly still get above average complaints from customers.
We also discovered shocking evidence of fake reviews on the official website and on Amazon we have featured a whole article on the subject but before you read that stick around you still want to know which is the best hydroxycut supplement right?
Aside from the brand’s key ingredient (c. canephora extract) which the company touts as the key scientifically proven. Hydroxycut CLA Elite is special in that it does not have caffeine. Instead it mostly relies on a big fat dollop of CLA (1000mg 1 serving 2 soft gels) a dose of L-carnitine, L-tartrate,among other ingredients which we tell you all about the ingredient section.
Hydroxycut CLA Elite promises to give you the following benefits:
Thermogenesis
Improved focus
Boost of energy
There are 2 limited studies to suggest the main ingredient C. canephora robusta helps to achieve modest weight reduction when included with a low calorie diet. The Hydroxycut website gets very excited and displays the following statement next to every supplement however read on because the independent science is key. “In 2006 study subjects taking C.canephora robusta for 60 days lost an average of 10.95lbs vs placebo which lost 5.40lbs. Both groups followed a low calorie diet.
In a separate 8-week study in 2010, subjects taking C. canephora robusta lost an average of 3.7lbs vs placebo, which lost 1.25lbs.
Hydroxycut Official Website” The US National Library of Medicine had this to say.
“The evidence from RCTs seems to indicate that the intake of GCE can promote weight loss. However, several caveats exist. The size of the effect is small, and the clinical relevance of this effect is uncertain. More rigorous trials with longer duration are needed to assess the efficacy and safety of GCE as a weight loss supplement”
One testimonial on the official website features busty Johanna no suggestion of course that she was paid for her looks –picture. “…I absolutely love my transformation and I am looking forward to what the future holds! To anyone thinking of taking Hydroxycut, stop thinking and try it” ~ Johanna.
However if you take a look at the official website you will notice there are no customer reviews recorded. Not that matters considering customer reviews on the other products are highly questionable. Customer reviews on Amazon have an average of 3.4 out of 5 stars however we found clear evidence of planted positive reviews for most of the hydroxycut supplements which you should read about Here later.
Many of the positive reviews are unnatural sales letters with the customer names repeated giving false positive reviews on numerous other hydroxycut products. It is all very dark and murky. There have not been that many customer reviews of Hydroxycut CLA Elite online. Walgreens website has only one review of the product which was given 2 years ago, according to Matt Smeltzer ~ “I started using this product over 1 week ago. I’m limiting my calories to !,300 per day and doing light to moderate exercise including weight training. I lost 5 lbs the first week. As for Ebay, although one customer has given the product a 3-star rating, according to him it has a “Good quality”~ jesp2407. On amazon there was only 11 reviews with a poor ratio of positive to negative reviews compared to the best selling weight loss supplements. It is also rather odd that this supplement only 11 reviews between the peroid 2016 to 2019.
auangl1
“I wasn’t impressed with this particular Hydroxy Cut. For me, it did nothing to curb my appetite at all. I haven’t lost one single ounce”
megan The taste isn’t amazing but it’s weight loss pills so. But it always left me feeling sick. Did not continue using them so if they actually work I don’t know.
The key ingredient, C. canephora robusta was backed by two limited scientific studies. However the placebo groups on both studies also lost weight so the weight loss was not remarkable. Read our main review of hydroxycut and discover what a leading research establishment said about the results.
In 2006 study subjects taking C.canephora robusta for 60 days lost an average of 10.95lbs vs placebo which lost 5.40lbs. Both groups followed a low calorie diet.
In a separate 8-week study in 2010, subjects taking C. canephora robusta lost an average of 3.7lbs vs placebo, which lost 1.25lbs. So if we break that down we notice the weight loss attributable to each group was just over 5.5lbs and 2.5lbs respectively over 2 months. C. canephora robusta (Green Coffee) said to contribute to weight loss. The US National Library had this to say in one study National Library of Medicine.
Differences in plasma glucose, insulin, and gastrointestinal hormone profiles further confirm the potent biological action of caffeine and suggest that chlorogenic acid might have an antagonistic effect on glucose transport. Therefore, a novel function of some dietary phenols in humans may be to attenuate intestinal glucose absorption rates and shift the site of glucose absorption to more distal parts of the intestine.
Hydroxycut CLA Elite contains the following ingredients:
L-carnitine & L-tartrate 250mg – these help move your fatty acids into cells to be burned for energy.
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) healthy omega-6 fatty acid found in vegetable oil,meat and dairy products. Healthline.com Though CLA supplements are linked to fat loss, the effects are small, unreliable and unlikely to make a difference in everyday life. academic.oup.com In conclusion, when the body of evidence is considered as a whole, CLA does have a beneficial effect on human body composition. Although this effect is modest
Garcinia indica 250mg – Formed of hydroxy citric acid helps to suppress your appetite. Garcinia is common in many supplements and was recommended by none other than Dr.Oz back in the day when people actually listened to him. In this supplement it is included in lower doses then useful so can be considered a decoration.
Raspberry Ketone 125mg – Believed to help break down fat in your body It is claimed to increase levels of adiponectin, a hormone that helps to regulate metabolism.

Hydroxycut Hardcore CLA Elite Non Stimulant
Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email
I am guessing you are here to lose weight?
And you are wondering which Hydroxycut product will help?
Well you are in luck we have featured the top 3 products to help you lose
Weight in the compare section at the bottom of the page.
But first imagine this
It’s a beautiful summer’s morning and you look at your window and out of the corner of your eye you notice your neighbor swing open his front door and emerge with a heavy rain coat, a top hat and a pipe extending from his mouth next a big ploom of smoke belches from his mouth. That is rather strange you think.
The next day again you are looking out of your window.
Then suddenly your neighbor swings open his door OH MY GOD!!!
Now he is wearing the tightest swimming trunks you have ever seen! He is donning a thick chest wig and he has an orange life boy strapped over his back!. Has he lost his mind? Naturally the next morning your primed and ready in anticipation will your neighbor appear as this time! But before you even wake you hear boom boom boom the whole bedroom is shaking you rush to the window and your neighbor is half naked. He has a full crest of decorative feathers around his head, a thick orange tan and a very modest leather buckskin loincloth covering his private parts.
With vigorous gesticulations and whooping your neighbor then proceeds to dance around the campfire he has built on on the front porch, you can barely contain your amazement! How does this relate to Hydroxycut you’re probably asking?
Well friends hydroxycut are like the neighbor they are bit strange every now and again they release a new product with fancy new packaging “sports” “for women” “max” “CLA Elite” the problem is most of them contain the same ingredients! Yes some change some minor ingredients but nearly all contain copious amounts of caffeine and C.canephora robusta – (Green Coffee Extract) So the question is does Hardcore CLA Elite offer anything else? does it work? And does it even appear in the top 3? (see the compare section)
Hydroxycut CLA Elite belongs to the hydroxycut sports range designed for both men and women. It is one of only a few Hydroxycut supplements to be non stimulant that does not contain caffeine. The company promote CLA Elite as being specially formulated for people who have a more active lifestyle and It comes in soft gel capsules.
Hydroxycut has been in the market for over 20 years now and it is also known as one of the leading dietary supplements in America. However, despite its acclaimed fame, the brand had actually undergone some reformulations in the past years due to health scares. These reports linked hydroxycut to some serious health problems such as Hepatotoxicity. As of today the formulations are no longer linked to lawsuits but they certainly still get above average complaints from customers.
We also discovered shocking evidence of fake reviews on the official website and on Amazon we have featured a whole article on the subject but before you read that stick around you still want to know which is the best hydroxycut supplement right?
Aside from the brand’s key ingredient (c. canephora extract) which the company touts as the key scientifically proven. Hydroxycut CLA Elite is special in that it does not have caffeine. Instead it mostly relies on a big fat dollop of CLA (1000mg 1 serving 2 soft gels) a dose of L-carnitine, L-tartrate,among other ingredients which we tell you all about the ingredient section.
Hydroxycut CLA Elite promises to give you the following benefits:
Thermogenesis
Improved focus
Boost of energy
There are 2 limited studies to suggest the main ingredient C. canephora robusta helps to achieve modest weight reduction when included with a low calorie diet. The Hydroxycut website gets very excited and displays the following statement next to every supplement however read on because the independent science is key. “In 2006 study subjects taking C.canephora robusta for 60 days lost an average of 10.95lbs vs placebo which lost 5.40lbs. Both groups followed a low calorie diet.
In a separate 8-week study in 2010, subjects taking C. canephora robusta lost an average of 3.7lbs vs placebo, which lost 1.25lbs.
Hydroxycut Official Website” The US National Library of Medicine had this to say.
“The evidence from RCTs seems to indicate that the intake of GCE can promote weight loss. However, several caveats exist. The size of the effect is small, and the clinical relevance of this effect is uncertain. More rigorous trials with longer duration are needed to assess the efficacy and safety of GCE as a weight loss supplement”
One testimonial on the official website features busty Johanna no suggestion of course that she was paid for her looks –picture. “…I absolutely love my transformation and I am looking forward to what the future holds! To anyone thinking of taking Hydroxycut, stop thinking and try it” ~ Johanna.
However if you take a look at the official website you will notice there are no customer reviews recorded. Not that matters considering customer reviews on the other products are highly questionable. Customer reviews on Amazon have an average of 3.4 out of 5 stars however we found clear evidence of planted positive reviews for most of the hydroxycut supplements which you should read about Here later.
Many of the positive reviews are unnatural sales letters with the customer names repeated giving false positive reviews on numerous other hydroxycut products. It is all very dark and murky. There have not been that many customer reviews of Hydroxycut CLA Elite online. Walgreens website has only one review of the product which was given 2 years ago, according to Matt Smeltzer ~ “I started using this product over 1 week ago. I’m limiting my calories to !,300 per day and doing light to moderate exercise including weight training. I lost 5 lbs the first week. As for Ebay, although one customer has given the product a 3-star rating, according to him it has a “Good quality”~ jesp2407. On amazon there was only 11 reviews with a poor ratio of positive to negative reviews compared to the best selling weight loss supplements. It is also rather odd that this supplement only 11 reviews between the peroid 2016 to 2019.

“I wasn’t impressed with this particular Hydroxy Cut. For me, it did nothing to curb my appetite at all. I haven’t lost one single ounce”
megan The taste isn’t amazing but it’s weight loss pills so. But it always left me feeling sick. Did not continue using them so if they actually work I don’t know.
The key ingredient, C. canephora robusta was backed by two limited scientific studies. However the placebo groups on both studies also lost weight so the weight loss was not remarkable. Read our main review of hydroxycut and discover what a leading research establishment said about the results.
In 2006 study subjects taking C.canephora robusta for 60 days lost an average of 10.95lbs vs placebo which lost 5.40lbs. Both groups followed a low calorie diet.
In a separate 8-week study in 2010, subjects taking C. canephora robusta lost an average of 3.7lbs vs placebo, which lost 1.25lbs. So if we break that down we notice the weight loss attributable to each group was just over 5.5lbs and 2.5lbs respectively over 2 months. C. canephora robusta (Green Coffee) said to contribute to weight loss. The US National Library had this to say in one study National Library of Medicine.
Differences in plasma glucose, insulin, and gastrointestinal hormone profiles further confirm the potent biological action of caffeine and suggest that chlorogenic acid might have an antagonistic effect on glucose transport. Therefore, a novel function of some dietary phenols in humans may be to attenuate intestinal glucose absorption rates and shift the site of glucose absorption to more distal parts of the intestine.
Hydroxycut CLA Elite contains the following ingredients:

For the 2 main ingredients CLA and Green coffee the possible side effects are as follows. CLA Upset stomach Nausea Diarrhea Fatigue

ISOMETRICS MASS
There’s 3 Barriers Nearly Every Man Struggle With When Trying To Build A Powerful Physique…
Here’s how to “detour” around these roadblocks quickly and easily so you can jump on the highway to your strongest and most muscular body…
1 – LOW TESTOSTERONE
After turning 30, low testosterone tracks men down like a heat-seeking missile ready to explode on impact.
It’s not a matter of “if”… but when.
And most gym-goers unknowingly speed up the process…
And destroy their testosterone levels for the sake of a “good workout.”
In reality, you’re overtraining your body. And practically throwing your male hormones in the trash…
I’ve been there. You see, gaining muscle became more difficult as I got older. So I’d train harder and longer in a desperate attempt to see fast results…
Yet every time I left the gym, I felt like a worthless, empty vessel…
I was tired all day. Couldn’t focus at work. My body and joints would throb. And I didn’t have any drive or passion left for my girlfriend by the end of the night…
Low Testosterone Is Tracking You Down Like a Heat-Seeking Missile Ready To Explode On Impact. And Your Workouts Are Only Speeding Up The Process!
It’s like I’d walked into the gym as a man and left as a ghost floating through the day.
What I didn’t know was my workouts were feeding my cortisol levels. And forcing my body to become catabolic. Ultimately causing muscle loss, lower testosterone levels, fatigue and weakness. Now…
You may not suffer these side effects if you’re on “the juice” like most professional bodybuilders. However, long and grueling workouts are only going to make us “natural guys” look and feel weaker…
Spending hours in the gym will smother your testosterone like a snake coiling around its prey & squeezing tightly…
Maybe not right away…
However, over time the barrage of training on your body will smother your progress…
Like a snake coiling around its prey and squeezing tightly…
Eventually your male hormones will tire-out. And any chance you had of building a muscular body will be crushed.
Because according to a recent study published in Scientific Reports, men with lower testosterone levels suffer from accelerated muscle-loss (1)…
Which is the primary reason most men fail to build muscle as they age despite working out for long hours and eating healthy…
And you’ll not only struggle to build muscle… you’ll also become dead in the pants (2). What I mean is, your sex-drive and ability to “perform” will fizzle out with your testosterone…
Crushing your self-confidence and wrecking the intimacy you once had with your spouse or partner. Eventually, you’ll feel trapped in a weak body with little self-esteem and an “out of order” sign dangling down-below.
Yet it doesn’t have to be this way. You see…
Around 30-minutes Into Training, Your Testosterone Skyrockets…
Which should be the moment you walk away from your workout and enjoy a MASSIVE all-day anabolic spike. However…
Most workout programs have you stay in the gym much longer…
Which wears-down your body’s #1 muscle-building hormone.
Because after 45-minutes of training, your testosterone levels slowly drop.
And according to a study published in the Journal of Endocrinology, after 60-minutes of exercise, your body stops producing testosterone and starts making cortisol (3)…
A hormone that eats away your muscle tissue and increases body fat…
Most Workout Programs Force Your Body To STOP Producing Testosterone And Start Making Cortisol… A Hormone That Eats Away Your Muscle.
And in a minute I’ll show you the “holy grail” mass movement I use to get maximum muscle activation during my workouts while spending less than 30 minutes in the gym…
And how this one technique helped me supercharge my testosterone levels and never waste a minute on pointless sets and reps that kill your male hormones. Yet first…
Here’s another barrier most men face when trying to build a head-turning, muscular physique that catches the eye of the opposite sex…
2 – INJURY CYCLE
Have you ever started a workout routine only to stop months, maybe weeks later from joint pain or a sudden injury?
Many men have. In fact…
A recent report shows more than 10,000 people are treated in emergency rooms across the United States for exercise-related injuries every single day (4)…
Which doesn’t include the men and women who suffer in silence with strained back muscles, sharp knee and elbow pain, neck discomfort, and other nagging injuries caused by exercise damage.
Think about it…
What’s the fastest way to stop your muscle building results dead in its tracks? Injuries…
More than 10,000 people in America are treated in emergency rooms for exercise-related injuries every day…
After all, you can’t exercise when you’re hurt, right?
And if you do, you’re one wrong movement away from doubling over in pain…
Laying on the floor while the gym staff calls for paramedics to haul you out of the building and rush you to a nearby hospital for an expensive surgery or scary exam…
And What Happens If You Do Need Surgery?
How long will it take to recover after doctors slice open your skin and shove tubes, mesh, and other medical gadgets into your body before sowing you back up?
A few months, a year? Maybe longer…
Yet that’s not all. Constant pain and injury will throw your body into an endless cycle of frustration. You see…
Building the body of your dreams is like pushing a large rock up a mountain…
Yet with every pinch, pull, crack or tear, the rock slips out of your hands and rolls back downhill. Forcing you to start over again and again until your will is broken and you throw in the towel for good…
And possibly become one of the millions of men who are overweight or obese in the world…
With large lumps of estrogen-pumping fat around your belly, saggy man-breasts, and a weak body that can’t perform like it used to.
This is the common injury cycle for men, unless you do something different. You see…
There’s An 8-second Movement-Free Muscle Building Technique That’ll Protect Your Body From Injuries While Getting You Jacked.
In fact, it’s been called the “safest” form of maximal muscle exercise for men who want to build mass and strength WITHOUT lifting heavy weights or performing endless amounts of reps and sets that wreak havoc on your joints and spine…
Which is great news because you’ll never have to tumble down “muscle mountain” again from another injury…
I call this technique, “Max Static Stimulation” which you can add to the middle of any set to activate the same muscle force as if performing a 500 lb deadlift WITHOUT actually lifting that heavy of a weight…
It’s like tricking your muscles into thinking your lifting more than you are…
Which forces your body to grow almost on command.
Best part? There’s no painful torque on your elbow and knees…
Max Static Stimulation Sets Help You Activate The Same Muscle Force As If Performing A 500 lb Deadlift WITHOUTActually Lifting That Heavy Of Weight
And you won’t have to compress and brittle your spine “squatting heavy” or performing dangerous moves that can throw out your back in seconds…
Instead, you’ll enjoy “pain free gains” in strength and size for years, even decades to come without another frustrating set back…
3 – PRIORITY DILEMMA
As you get older, priorities change…
I’m a father of five kids and have a 40+ hour work week, so I know the feeling of having little time for anything…
And to be honest, placing your family and career above going to the gym is honorable. However…
As the saying goes, you can have your cake and eat it too…
What I mean is, you can get a strong and muscular physique, balance time with your family, partner, and social life, while gliding up the corporate ladder …
WITHOUT your workouts getting in the way or you feeling overwhelmed and guilty for spending time in the gym.
Because the truth is, “less is more.”
In fact, one study published in the U.S. National Library of Medicine shows low volume workouts, with high intensity muscle activation, like what you experience using my Max Static Stimulation technique, results in greater strength and lean mass gains compared to long workouts. (4)
So if you’re a man who wants a rock solid body that’s just as strong as it is eye-catching… short workouts will be your “unfair advantage” and have you passing up all the other guys at the gym…
Plus you’ll have more time for your family, friends, and social life…
Best part, you won’t feel like a screw up…
You see, most guys try exercising an hour a day for most days of the week and lose motivation when they can’t find the time.
It sucks the wind out of your sails…
And you end up losing belief in yourself…
Maybe even raise the white flag and quit altogether. We see it all the time…
New Year’s day is always packed with ambitious folks trying to get in-shape. Yet a few months, sometimes weeks later, the gym is a ghost town. Reason why?
They’ve believed the lie. And think they have to “do more” in the gym to see results.
Eventually they can’t sustain the demanding schedule of work, the gym, their relationships, and social life. And end up throwing in the towel and quitting on their body altogether. Listen…
