Is lack of sleep making your heavier?

People who sleep seven to eight hours per night are leaner than those who get only five or six hours, according to research from Laval University in Quebec. "When you're sleep-deprived, your body produces more stress hormones, which may increase your appetite," explains Michael Breus, PhD, cofounder of Sound Sleep Solutions in Atlanta.

Having trouble nodding off? Consider hitting the treadmill before, not after, work: One study done at Seattle's Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center found that women who exercised in the a.m. fell asleep faster at night than those who did a p.m. workout.

What is Oprah’s Oxygen Network Proclaiming About Sandy’s Newest Weight Loss Program?

After finding out about Thin & Healthy’s Total Solution®, the Executive Producer for Fitness Insider, a television show aired on the Oxygen Channel, says, “Thin & Healthy’s Total Solution® is the BEST kept secret in weight loss.”

No other weight management or fitness program offers the three components Thin & Healthy’s Total Solution® offers. Healthy Foods Education® teaches people how to eat their favorite foods and lose weight. That is unique and great news, since we love our pizza, chips and brownies. But it’s not what makes Thin & Healthy’s Total Solution® stand out.

Metabolism Retraining® teaches people how to fall in love with movement. Even those who’ve never liked exercise discover how easy it is to increase their metabolic rate with movement. That is unique, but also not what makes Thin & Healthy’s Total Solution® stand out.

What makes this program stand out is Life Success® which gives each member the inspiration, education and tools needed in order to tap into the motivation and determination that lie within them, thus helping them achieve their goals.

Donna Krech, CEO and founder of Thin & Healthy’s Total Solution® says, “Permanent weight loss is not about the food! It’s about the motivation. We focus on teaching our members how to maintain their motivation. Anyone can lose weight, but 97% of Americans who lose weight gain it right back, which is where we come in and change the standards.”

Thin & Healthy’s Total Solution® new location in Sandy is part of a network of over 200 locations distributing the program worldwide. It is the only complete concept, as it is the marriage of weight loss, fitness and motivation. The members enjoy the opportunity to work on losing weight, increasing their movement and improving their entire life, all at one place.

Kris Holt, a member at the location in Lima, Ohio, says, “I love how Thin & Healthy’s Total Solution® is always doing something new to make my results better and faster! Plus, I love that I don’t need to worry about going to different places to lose weight, change my life and get my activity in. This program really focuses on my life and that makes losing weight much easier.”

Thin and Healthy Utah is giving FREE nutrition programs to LA Weight Loss members

December 17, 2008. Sandy Utah. Thin and Healthy Utah is giving FREE nutrition programs to LA Weight Loss members. Because of closure at LA Weight Loss centers around Utah, Thin and Healthy Utah in Sandy is offering a hand.

Qualifying LA Weight Loss members must provide proof to verify their current membership with La Weight Loss to receive the free service. They may apply online at info@thinandhealthyutah.com or in person or at the office of Thin and Healthy's Total Solution located in the Union Square Shopping Center at 9480 S 700 E in Sandy, UT.

It's no secret that 3 out of 4 men and 2 out of 4 women in Utah have weight to lose. And what's more alarming than that is that 1 out of every 3 children are overweight or obese. With these local LA Weight Loss Centers closing their doors, it won't help Utah's staggering statistic.

Thin and Healthy Utah is on a mission. Owner Jed Judd says: "We are on a mission to make a difference in our community. According to statistics 3 out of 4 Men and 2 out of 4 Women in Utah are at an unhealthy weight! Think about that 3 out of 4 Men! That's a staggering amount of us - so Thin and Healthy wants to make a difference by the year 2010. Our goal is to give away 2010 free metabolism evaluations and 210 free programs by the year 2010!"

"Dieting doesn't work." says Judd. The increase in obesity over the last ten years is still accelerating despite new diets being introduced. Diets, old and new, have now had time to prove themselves but show little permanance as most Americans put the weight back on--and a little more—within a year or two.

As the American obesity epidemic gains pace and spreads through all age groups, the number of children under 6 who are obese is growing at an alarming rate.

Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, a survey of seventh- to twelfth-graders launched in 1994 that included 2 years of follow-up. In 1996, 12 percent of the adolescents were overweight, while 6 percent had two obese parents, 14 percent had obese mothers only, and 5 percent had obese fathers.

“What we do as a family — our family lifestyles — matters for weight. Lifestyles aren’t just about individual behaviors,” study author Dr. Molly A. Martin, Pennsylvania State University in University Park said. The study is the first to demonstrate that the connection between parents and children’s weight is social as well as genetic. SOURCE: American Journal of Sociology, December 10, 2008. Thin and Healthy's Total Solution has a kids plan to affect this trend.

"Childhood obesity in the U.S. has reached pandemic proportions, and teaching young people healthy habits at a young age will last into adulthood. Our Thin&Healthy Kids program is a fun and effective way to teach children and their parents the life lessons for creating healthy, happy lifestyles….Many parents are setting their children up for a life of being overweight - and all the physical, social, and emotional problems that go along with that - without even realizing it.  Something has to be done.

Our experience working with children and families has made it clear that the desire to do the right thing is there; sometimes parents just need a little guidance and moral support!" SOURCE: Thin&HealthyKids website

Therefore, Thin and Healthy exists for one reason. It is not simply to teach a person how to lose weight, but to teach our members how to never need to lose weight again."

Thin and Healthy teaches a healthy lifestyle to help people lose their weight and keep it off. "We take a 3 fold approach to weight loss: Healthy Foods Education, Metabolism Retraining, and Motivation. We do not participate in the weight-loss-weight-gain industry - we are the solution for permanent weight loss."

Thin and Healthy has as weight management program for kids, Thin&HealthyKids, which gives kids, parents, and families a helpful source of information about healthy eating, fun ideas to promote physical activity, and practical tips for smooth family functioning. It provides alternatives for the risky behaviors associated with Childhood Obesity, so that every child has a chance at a long and happy life.
Thin and Healthy's Total Solution reports it's plan is NOT a "Diet". Thin and Healthy contends, "Diets don't work for permanent weight control.

Utah LA Weight Loss Centers Closing

Thin and Healthy Utah will offer a FREE nutrition program to LA Weight Loss members who had the doors to their local facilities close on them. Please call us at 571-8870 or email at info@thinandhealthyutah.com for details.
The LA Weight Loss centers in Utah are closing. I drove by the locations on State Street and Draper and both were deathly dark and empty. One of our members confided her disappointment in the sales representatives selling programs even after they knew their locations were closing.
There isn't a lot of information about the closing of the LA Weight Loss locations in Utah, and the only site I can find looks like it's quite out of date (2007) so either their dates are screwed up, or it's inaccurate information on a large scale. I have not driven past any other LA Weight Loss centers in Utah, so I cannot confirm their status - if anyone else has information I would love to know more.
It's no secret that 3 out of 4 men and 2 out of 4 women in Utah have weight to lose. With LA Weight Loss going out of business that doesn't help Utah's staggering statistic - so we are going to step up and offer help. We here at Thin And Healthy Utah will offer a FREE nutrition program to those LA Weight Loss members who had the doors closed at their facilities. We just ask that those applying for the Free program provide verification of their current demise with LA Weight Loss. Please call 571-8870, email info@thinandhealthyutah.com, or visit or Sandy Utah location for more information.
Thin and Healthy teaches a healthy lifestyle to help people lose their weight. We take a 3 fold approach to weight loss: Healthy Foods Education, Metabolism Retraining, and Motivation. We do not participate in the weight-loss-weight-gain industry - we are the solution for permanent weight loss.

Utah Two Ballys Total Fitness Locations Closing

The closing of Ballys Utah locations came as a shock to so many of us. Thin and Healthy wants to make a difference by offering a FREE 10 lb program for former Ballys members. Please bring proof of Ballys membership to present at our front desk.
According to KUTV "The Midvale and Salt Lake City clubs are the only two in Utah and they are both closed. A company spokesman says they were under-performing along with 17 other clubs around the country. He said this was the normal way of reevaluating property. These customers wish they had thought of them in the process."
We know the overweight and obesity statistics in Utah are Staggering - 3 out of 4 men and 2 out of 4 women have weight to lose. 1 out of 4 of our children are already overweight! Thin and Healthy offers a solution to these sad statistics and we want to make a difference. 90% of people join a gym to lose weight - and that's what we do best!
We are offering free seminars across the Salt Lake Valley on the 7 secrets to losing weight and keeping it off, the 7 secrets to maintaining motivation, weight loss motivation assassinators, the top 10 ways to find 2 or more hours in a day, along with several others. If we can present these great seminars for your group, please let us know here.

Oprah Reveals She Weighs 200 lbs

It hit the airwaves yesterday. I'm sure you heard all about it. Oprah Winfrey revealed in the January issue of "O" magazine that she currently weighs 200 lbs. and that she has "fallen off the wagon" when it comes to healthy living. Oprah shares her feelings in the article saying she is mad at herself and embarrassed since she's gained 40 lbs since 2006.

"I'm embarrassed. I can't believe that after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I'm still talking about my weight. I look at my thinner self and think, "How did I let this happen again?" she wrote.

She mentions in the article that frustration led her to just eat whatever she wanted and she added how that is never a good combination.

So why is Oprah Winfrey the topic of discussion today? Because no matter who you are, what your career choice is, or how much money you make, you are not immune to the ill effects of the Motivation Assassinators.

Oprah's frustration (emotional reaction) led her to not make the best food choices. Couple that with lack of movement (she shares in the article that her out-of-balance thyroid condition helped her to create a "fear of working out") and you've got a recipe for an unhealthy and unhappy lifestyle.

Focus, Belief, Habits, Emotional Reactions, Energy, Surroundings/Social Influences and Time Management - these are the things that kill motivation UNLESS you know how to fight back.

We're at the time in the year when people say, "Come January 1st I'm going to..." Don't wait to arm yourself with the tools to overcome your Motivation Assassinators and achieve your goals. Go to www.neverendingmotivation.com right now so you never have to say, "Come January 1st..." ever again!
