Eating for Energy Thanksgiving Special

November 22nd, 2010

I’ve got a great Eating for Energy Thanksgiving special for you!

But before I get to that let me tell why I’m doing this and why you NEED what I’m about to share with you…

The simple truth is that we eat more during the holidays. As a result, most people tend to put on a few extra pounds each time Thanksgiving rolls around (no pun intended).

In fact, a recent study in Nutrition Journal revealed that participants gained a significant amount of weight (0.5 kg) during the 3-4 days of Thanksgiving.

While an increase in weight of half a kilogram may not be cause for alarm, the increase could have potential long-term health consequences if people retain this weight gain throughout the year and repeat this pattern year after year.

The study also found that because the overweight/obese participants gained the greatest amount of bodyweight during Thanksgiving, this group may be at increased risk for weight gain and further obesity development during the holiday season.

But it gets even better (and by that I mean worse)…

A 2007 report in the New York Times highlighted the fact that most research is now showing that MOST people are packing on 7-10 pounds of fat between Thanksgiving and the Christmas holidays!!!

That’s 7-10 lbs in just ONE month.

Why is this happening?

Well, it’s not rocket science – lots of food and lots of drinking.

Even the best exercise program doesn’t stand a chance against this kind of indulgence.

But it’s not just the quantity of food, it’s also the kind of food and how it’s been eaten.

Heavy proteins and starches, lots of sugar and sweets, and late night eating are just a few culprits behind holiday weight gain.

And that’s why I’ve prepared 3 INCREDIBLE GIFTS for you today.

Are you ready for them?

Here they are….

.

1. The Truth About Grains and Gluten

gluten-bread_3Dcover50With Thanksgiving comes an onslaught of food, including gluten from various grains.

Because of this gaining weight won’t be the only thing you’ll need to worry about this coming weekend…

Because did you know that gluten could very well be at the root of many of your health and weight issues?

In this interview with gluten expert, Dr. Peter Osborne, you’ll discover the symptoms of gluten intolerance, what gluten does to your body, and how to overcome gluten-related issues.

You’ll get this exclusive 30-minute interrogation in both audio format and written transcription.

Get it here <—————– ends Wednesday!

.

2. Inflammation and Immune Response to Food

inflamation_cover50Thanksgiving is one of the most “inflammatory” times of the year.
And in this interview with nutrition professional, Brad Pilon, you’ll found out exactly what that means to your immune system and your health.

Brad also reveals a ton of startling research on the effects of this ONE nutrient and a specific “way” of eating on your immune system, your ability to lose weight, and your overall health.

In fact, listening (or reading) this interview alone could save you over the holiday season! I’m serious.

Once again, you’ll get both the audio interview and written transcript to learn from.

Yours FREE when you click here <—————– ends Wednesday!

3. Fundamentals of Digestion

Eating For Energy Green Juice Recipe

October 14th, 2010

Eating green and juicing green are two of Pierrette & I’s favorite things. Juicing is easy on the digestive system and helps to lower your heart rate and improve the use of your oxygen levels in your blood stream.

Slowing your body metabolism down by juicing is a great way to energize your day without all the stomach problems involved in digesting whole foods.

Here is a recipe Pierrette invented that satisfies the sweet needs of people that are just starting to green juice. Adding apples and carrots to all your green juices will take some of the “bland” out of  the green taste.

The benefits of juicing green are so important to your health. You have no idea how great you will feel. Enough said, here is the secret drink Pierrette wants to share with you:

Serves 2

Ingredients:

3 medium size carrots

2 medium apples(choose the variety you love most) We buy the ones on special at the time.

1 medium beet (yes uncooked,red secret ingredient)

3 celery stalks17beaae153660e6a_beet-juice

1/2 cucumber

1/4 head of cauliflower

2 tablespoon of ground flax seed

Juice all the ingredients  in your juicer and serve.(add ground flax seed after)

The benefits of juicing are that you get all the nutritional value into your blood stream without all the fiber. Notice all the pulp left over in your Juicer?

Just look at the pulp as part of the price of being healthy. Ask yourself, what would of all that pulp done inside my body and how hard would my digestive system have to work to process all of it?

Eating For Energy-How To focus To Obtain Results

August 5th, 2010

chronicstressMany of us dream of having that Perfect Body or even just being able to have better health in general. Pierrette & I wondered for the longest time why we were always unable to “focus” on a particular dream or goal.

We looked at it from the inside out and tried to understand why our bodies seemed to be unable to sustain constant “focus” on achieving consistent results. You know what I mean, you see the stars on “TV” and wonder, how do they do that? You read stories of success, by seemingly ordinary people just like you and you wonder, what is missing in me to do that?

We have talked and interviewed hundreds of people and found that most of us share very common traits. We all seem to have an ability to dream big dreams, set written goals and take pictures of them. We all understand the mechanics behind setting deadlines and taking action.

If most of us understand” how”, know “why” we need to have dreams, seemingly have the answers  to most of the questions, why do most of us “fail” at obtaining the results we want?

We searched for a common denominator that seems to make it next to impossible to realize our full potential when it comes to obtaining the things we really want out of life.Why?

Stay with me here, “FOCUS”

There are many answers to that statement but it all starts with our inability to “focus”. Yes our inability to send a constant message to our brain to have it convert those dreams into reality.

Many of you have read the book “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne  that puts forth the well know vision about the Law of Attraction.Why do we read such books, get all pumped up, and yet some few short weeks later are exactly where we were before, no where, still looking for the magic bullet that will help us realize what we can only dream of.

We then asked ourselves the question,”What is our brain doing that is preventing it from maintaining “focus” on our dreams?” What is more important than making us rich, starting that new business, becoming a singing star or a pro-athlete?

Well, we found the answer. “Our brain is to busy taking care of other bodily functions and has no time left over to give in to all those whims that are circulating in our brain”.

  • Why do Lions sleep(rest) up to 20 hours or more a day? Ask Google
  • Why do bears hibernate for up to 100 days? Ask Google

Stay with me here, “FOCUS”.

Eating For Energy instead of eating just to fill our bellies is the answer to all these questions. Our ability to focus is deterred because we eat so poorly and our brains “focus” is on getting all that food through our bodies and keeping us alive.

Eating For Energy will give you all the nutritional advice you need in order to take pressure away from your brain and help it do what you want it to do. Pierrette calls it a “switch” that turns on or off, depending on how you feed yourself.

Eat junk and your body focuses on digestion and how it is going to get all that “Junk” in and out of your system. Eat the wrong food combinations and your mind “Focuses” on separating the good from the bad. Do you understand?

One of the first things we realized by following Yuri’s advice was, that we had all this energy left over to concentrate on others things.

  1. Wow, that was a big AHA moment for us.
  2. Goals became clearer, and we realized that we had time to spare.
  3. We sleep more soundly.
  4. We digest faster and eliminate better…

Yes, Eating For Energy by Yuri Elkaim can be the beginning of all those dreams you have in the back of your mind, just waiting to jump out and “Grab” you…

Stay with me here,”FOCUS”.

Make sure you have a copy of Eating For Energy on your computer or on your kitchen table. It will give you the time and Energy to take the first steps.”Focus”,”Focus”,…

Pierrette & I believe that Eating For Energy is the first step you need to take in order to concentrate on all the others outlined by Yuri on your journey to Perfect Health, and more.

Eating For Energy-Trying Something New-Benefits

August 2nd, 2010

FreshFruitSmoothieTrying something new using the “Eating For Energy“ book as become common-place in our home.

When you eat for the right reasons, the food combinations become a game for good health. “How can I get the best drink with the most benefits”, is fun to play and very good tasting. If your lifestyle is fast paced and you always want foods that taste great, don’t be afraid, everything smoothie you make will seem better than the last.

Taste buds seem to improve as our energy level increases. Funny things happen in your mind. It is as though your body cravings search for really healthy foods. Therefore your energy levels are forever increasing.

Here is a new smoothie Pierrette invented this morning: the ingredients are the following

  1. 1/2 Fresh pineapple
  2. 1 pear(pealed and cubed)
  3. 2 bananas(medium size) use fresh or frozen
  4. 2 Tablespoon of ground flax seeds
  5. 1 small slice of Ginger(fresh)
  6. 1 cup of water/ice-Depends on how cold you like your smoothie

Directions: Put all the ingredients together in your high speed blender and let it go. Yields 2 x 14 oz glasses of incredible colors and aroma.

We have juiced pineapple and pear before and found it great but Pierrette wanted to add bananas and make a smoothie.mmm Wait till you taste this.

After you have had this drink just go to Google, yes right on top, and search for the benefits of each ingredient. You will be amazed at all the nutrition you get.

Remember, fruits act as cleansers and vegetables are builders.

Drinks like this take less then 10 minutes to prepare, you can mix and match with what you have in your refrigerator and you can leave the dishes in the sink till you get home(or dishwasher).

Off to work now, just had to let you know. Let me know how long the energy level sustains you after having a great drink like this compared to your normal breakfast.

Eating For Energy is all about saving time to give you quality time for you.

Is Sprouted Grain Bread Good?

June 28th, 2010

For many people, bread is simply bread. It is white and it comes from the grocery store. It is used for sandwiches and toast, and little else. It is brand name and cheaply prices, pre-sliced and the less time you take to actually read the ingredients, the better off you’ll be.

Of course, most people who eat a raw food diet, or even a somewhat healthy diet, would not touch that bleached white bread with a ten foot bread knife. It is full of chemicals and artificial everything, as is as close to a nutritional wasteland as you can find in the pastry section of a supermarket.

Some people will simply switch to a different kind of bread – be it rye, whole wheat, or some other variation. But instead of looking for something else in the grocery store to fill the place of that phony bread, why not go a completely different – and incredibly healthy – direction and try to make your own sprouted grain bread.

Of course, the first question people will ask, when told about sprouted grain bread, is not questions about the preparation, the cost or ever a description of what exactly such a bread would look like. No, the first question, inevitably, is the question of just how good would bread like this taste?

Is sprouted bread good? If you are talking taste, then the answer is yes. Instead of consuming a baked mass of processed and bleached wheat that offers very little in the way of flavor or texture, a slice of sprouted bread is like the difference between a light bulb and the sun. Sprouted breads can be made from a single source of sprouted grain if you want a particular flavor, or from a variety of germinated nuts and seeds if you want to experience a variety within every bite.

If you are asking if sprouted grain bread is good for you, the answer once again is yes. The average mass-produced loaf of bread offers little in the way of nutrients, unless the producer has added in a few vitamins after the fact to try to make their product “health conscious”. Raw sprouted breads, on the other hand, have all of the vitamins and nutrients found in the young plants used to produce the bread. None have been killed off in the cooking process, and nothing good has been bleached away. Sprouted breads contain living food enzymes to aide in digestion and absorption; fiber to keep the body regular; and for those who suffer from wheat or gluten allergies, there are many forms of sprouted breads that can be eaten without fear of causing a negative reaction.

And if you are asking if sprouted grain bread is good for everyday use, the answer is a very big yes. This sort of homemade bread can be used for anything you would normally use bread for. You can make your own sandwiches for lunches, serve it with pasta at dinner, or load it up with homemade nut butter for a tasty snack any time of the day.
