Biggest Loser Resort

We have all heard that you can’t put a price on good health. Well while watching the Biggest Loser last night I noticed that they were plugging the Biggest Loser Resort. We are all used to all the cross promotion that the Biggest Loser does so it should not have surprised me that they had moved into the resort business.

I had not heard of the Biggest Loser Resort so I had to Google it to learn more.

Well it seems that there are four locations and it is basically the same experience as the Biggest Loser TV Show without the celebrity coaches. They have workout facilities, recovery facilities,nutrition classes and even cooking classes.

Expensive Biggest Loser Experience

When I first looked at the website the first thing I looked at was the price. I am kind of a bottom lie guy which is a bit of a problem and the price is quite a bit $3,000 a week.

I was thinking “$3,000? What the hell? That is a crapload of money”

Well maybe I jumped against the price a bit quick. I always look at these kinds of things as compared to a vacation. usually an all inclusive vaction would cost between $1,000 and $2,000 for a week but this would probably be a much less relaxing but much better vacation even though it is really expensive.

So the “vaction” itself would be a lot different. My last all inclusive vacation my family went on was in Mexico and included room, food, booze, workout facilities, concierge and entertainment.

What Does Biggest Loser Resort Offer?

The Biggest Loser Resort by comparison has all of that plus courses on meal planning, eating, exercising, cooking, in home workout planning. Also the gym workouts have great trainers and many different kinds of training classes.

Really the idea of the Biggest Loser Resort seems to be an all inclusive Biggest Loser TV show type experience where you live, breath, eat, and experience a full fitness boot camp lifestyle.

Again this whole Biggest Loser Resort experince is really interesting but also disappointing as the huge majority of people that don’t have the knowledge and resources would never be able to afford this kind of one or two week or even more time on a situation that would really help.

What are your thoughts about the idea of the Biggest Loser Resort? Would you be interested in spending some time there? Had you even heard of it before?

Cure-All

MORNINGJUICE Cure All

I like to pretend that raw juice can fix all things in life. It’s like the windex of good health. I was feeling FuNky  this morning, so I pulled down my ol’ juicer friend and got started.

Do you juice? What are your thoughts on the foam the gathers on top? I rarely drink it. The foam is not my cure-all.

In other news, I finally got my Strong Knees DVD in the mail! That’s gonna happen today. Apparently I have to do it every single day for it to work. I’m not good at doing anything every single day, but goodness I’m tired of having a funky knee from falling on a dog.

And in more other news- I lost 3 pounds last week taking me t0 13 total pounds lost!

And more, more other news thank you to those who supported my Wear it Well Spring ecourse. I tell you, putting stuff out in the world is not for the faint of heart. I am a timid mouse who is full of fears and doubts way more than I should ever admit, and just saying to people “hey, I made something, you might like it” makes me want to crawl in a hole. Because, what if they don’t like it?

What if they think I’m a loser who makes ebooks? What if they think my design or writing is bad? What if they don’t get it? What if people will only respect me if I have a “real job”? What if people are tired of me trying to make a living off of my creativity? What if I’m not respected?

What if, what if, what if. Isn’t is all so silly? I want to be more brave and live with the learning process, but it’s not easy. I want to be more graceful. If anyone ever tells you that following a dream or doing something different is easy, they are lying. No one will ever tell you that anyway.

And further more, doing anything, anything at all will raise eyebrows. You might as well do it anyway. So with that said, if you’re at all interested in an ebook filled with 90 pages of style inspiration, Wear it Well is just that. Right now and until the end of March you can pay what you want. Which means  for $5, 10, 13.25, 16, or $28+ you can buy my ebook. And then you can email me and tell me what you liked or didn’t like about it, because I truly want to know. So I can make it even better next time.

Fats in your diet


Fats in your diet

Fats in your diet

Fats are always looked at as a negative in a diet…well in almost all diets anyway, as Atkins tends to think that they are OK. The reason that most people try to avoid fats is that they tend to be less of a priority for your body to metabolize; the body would rather metabolize the carbohydrates and then Fat or Protein. Another issue with fat is the number of calories per gram, a gram of fat has 9 calories as opposed to Protein and carbohydrates which have 4 calories per gram. So your body is going to more than likely store any extra fat taken in as, well, fat.

What Kind of Fats in Your Diet to Watch For

So you should watch out for the Fats in your diet in most cases. Still it is important to take in some fats, you body can not exist without any fats and in fact stores vitamins A, D, E and K in fat. These vitamins are needed to maintain good health. One thing to be aware of is that these vitamins because they are stored in fat can build up and be toxic¦how toxic? Well I have not heard of anyone getting sick from them but without them you would surely get sick.

Research has shown, because that people who consume a high-sugar diet tend to consume lower amounts of fat and vice versa. If you think about this it means that your mind will look at a sugary or a fatty food in the same way and will crave both in the same way.

Different Types of Fats in Your Diet

Most people’s questions about fats in your diet are what kind they can eat to be eating healthy. There are three types of fat that comes from food. Saturated Fats, Polyunsaturated Fats, and Monounsaturated Fats. All three are found in foods that come from animals or plants, but the amount varies. As a rule, more saturated fat is found in animal than vegetable foods, where more polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are found in vegetables than animal foods. Cholesterol is also found in foods from animals.

Saturated fat is mainly found in foods of animal origin, but some vegetables also have large amounts. These are called saturated vegetable fats and are often found in processed bakery goods and nondairy milk or cream substitutes. These are: Beef, Brazil Nuts, Butter, Cheese, Chocolate, Coconut, Coconut Oil, and Lard

As a rule of thumb when shopping, saturated fats are solid at room temperature. When you have a lot of saturated fat in your diet, your liver responds by making more cholesterol. This raises your blood cholesterol level. It is the most harmful type of fat you can eat.

Fats in your diet

Polyunsaturated fats come mainly from plants. They are liquid at room temperature. Eating polyunsaturated fat can reduce blood cholesterol levels. Examples are Almonds, Corn Oil, Cottonseed Oil, Filberts, Fish, Margarine, Mayonnaise, and Pecans

Monounsaturated fats are mainly found in foods that come from plants. They are liquid at room temperature and can reduce blood cholesterol levels, but less than polyunsaturated fats do. They can, however, raise HDL cholesterol (the ‘good’ kind of cholesterol) levels. Examples are Avocado, Canola Oil, Cashews, Olives, Olive Oil, Peanuts, and Peanut Butter.

Trans fats are what make vegetable margarines have a butter-like texture, and prolong the shelf life of packaged foods. The effects of trans fats are still not known, but it is believed that they, like saturated fats, cause blood cholesterol levels to increase. As we have learned over the last couple years trans fats can not be metabolized by our body so they are poisonous and very unhealthy

You can see that these Fats in your diet are important but some should be eaten with caution
