If food is a comfort, is gastric bypass a good option in helping someone lose weight and KEEP IT OFF? Without changing the old habits what will happen?
I've worked with Karen Burton of The Clearing Cure for several months and have had great success after she cleared my addiction to sugar, salt, and even helped with candida.
I am one who craves something sweet - especially after dinner. This is a dangerous habit and one I have had to use will power to stop. By working with the clearing cure, my cravings have stopped and I don't have the "need" for that sweet treat. I've found even cutting out processed foods (most of the one's I liked had PLENTY of added sugars) it's helped keep my sugar cravings under control.
We all have to learn what our triggers are and how to deal with them. It does not mean we have to cut things completely out. I still enjoy treats every so often - but I've learned how to control my cravings and been empowered to overcome them.
Gastric bypass would be temporary solution for me if I never learn to overcome my habits and emotional reactions - both triggers for me to turn to sugary comfort foods. Bypass, for me, would only enable me more and keep me thinking, "oh, just this little bit won't hurt - I don't eat enough for it to make a difference." I know me, and I know my tendencies. The best solution is the clearing solution, eating proper foods so I don't feel like I need to snack (another of my downfalls) and keeping my body active so I'm don't get bored and head for the cupboards.
What are your triggers? Find an easy solution to overcome them. Try the 21 Day Challenge with The Clearing Cure and Thin and Healthy Utah and let us help you take the stress out of getting healthy.
This is what Kelli from KS says about the results she is getting from the It Works Stretch Mark & Anti Aging lotion. She is getting measurable results, and you can too.
"I have been using this product since August 2008. The results I noticed immediately was the way my hands felt and looked after using it once. My hands looked younger instantly....I also have been putting it on my arm because I have 20-year-old 2nd degree burns scars. My scars are literally disappearing!! They will never be completely gone, but they are fading. I love this product because it is making my skin look younger. I just feel younger since I've been using it, does that sounds silly or what?"

Over 20% of adults have an obesity-like condition characterized by excessive bell fat. This condition is related to stress-induced hormone imbalances, especially imbalances of cortisol and DHEA. Until now, the only course of action for losing this fat has been stress reduction with exercise and diet.
Relora™ can normalize cortisol and DHEA levels in stressed individuals, induce relaxation, and act as an aid in controlling weight and stress related eating and drinking. Relora™ stabilizes levels of the stress hormone cortisol. That results in the levels of serotonin and dopamine (neurotransmitters that boost mood) being optimized. Also, levels of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep, return to normal. Improved sleep rebalances gastric hormones so that the ratio of leptin (which signals satiety) is once again higher than ghrelin (which signals the body to eat more).
You can pick Relora™ up at our Thin&Healthy Utah location in Sandy, UT or order it by emailing us at: info@thinandhealthyutah.com

The 5 Main Components In Losing Belly Fat
It is incredible to see that Thin and Healthy's Total Solution goes along with these 5 basic guidelines in healthy living and weight loss for permanent results.
We've found that it is the motivation that is missing in making a healthy lifestyle and reducing the risks of diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, and all the other diseases that are out there.
Heather Picken outlines 5 very simple and basic steps to help you lose that belly flab!!
First: You need to look at your nutrition. The main to look at is calories. Too little, too much they are the same. You need the right deficit to lose belly fat
Second: You need to get fish oils (6 grams) a day. These will help you lose fat. You need to focus on fat loss, not weight loss for permanent results. Keep adjusting your metabolism. You do this mainly through nutrition.
Thirdly: Your training program. Weight training and cardio. The right way to do cardio to lose belly fat is interval and HIIT (high intensity interval training). Heavy sets one week (6-8) reps followed by higher reps the next week (10-15). You need to vary your program. The key to getting rid of belly fat is INTENSITY (if you're not sweating and breathing heavy you need to push yourself harder).
Forth: Tracking your progress. Take your body fat every 2 weeks (measurements, pictures, and try on a pair of pants that is too small). Things can fluctuate, all of these things will give you a more accurate picture. Belly fat is not a linear process. Your body will plateau, so you need to tweak it.
Lastly: Most important is conditioning your mind to stay motivated. Everything you do is a mental process that goes along with losing belly fat too. Adapt a healthy lifestyle. Make the decision to be committed not just interested. Article source: http://ezinearticles.com/
Thin and Healthy is 100% devoted to keeping you motivated and healthy living for a life time with permanent results. Losing weight is not as hard as many people of it. Changing your paradigm and having a well focused mind is key in getting you to your goal. Check out Thin And Healthy's Online program and how it addresses each of the 5 areas Heather points out.

You can’t down 3,000 calories a day and expect to lose your belly, but calories aren’t the entire story. Certain foods seem to pack on Belly Fat.
Last fall, experts from the ongoing Framingham Nutrition Studies reported that women who ate almost 400 fewer daily calories but chose the least nutritious foods had a 2 1/2 times higher risk of abdominal obesity than those who ate 400 more daily calories but made better choices. They also had dramatically higher risk of such serious health issues as Type 2 diabetes and heart attacks, says Barbara Millen, DPH, the study’s director of nutritional research. You don’t have to “diet”: Just fold these strategies into your life and watch the belly flab pare down.
Eat Fruits and Veggies
-Especially orange ones. Women trimmed their waists by replacing refined grains like white bread and simple or added sugar with carbs from fruits and vegetables, according to the latest review from Copenhagen University Hospital.
Besides packing in fiber, which keeps you feeling full longer, researchers suspect it’s the rich antioxidants, such as vitamin C and beta-carotene, that ward off belly fat. Carrots, cantaloupe, squash, and peaches are great sources of beta-carotene, while oranges, berries, and kiwi provide a good dose of C. To keep calories down, pick veggies like bell peppers before fruits, and choose fruits over juice.
Get more selenium
This cancer-fighting mineral is also linked to lower rates of belly flab, according to a survey of more than 8,000 Americans. People with low blood levels of selenium and other antioxidants had bigger waistlines than those with higher levels.
Selenium is found in many foods, but it can be hard to know if you’re getting the recommended 55 mcg a day because amounts vary based on the soil in which food is grown and the feed livestock consume. To meet your requirement, try a supplement or eat a varied diet. Also, opt for foods grown in different areas: such as grains from the Midwest, Vermont cheeses, and nuts from California.
Add some protein
Eating more protein keeps you full and boosts energy, which leads to overall weight loss and–for those over 40 –reduced belly fat in particular, according to findings from Skidmore College and Copenhagen University Hospital.
But studies show that eating high amounts of protein may stress the kidneys as they work to eliminate the excess, which can also cause calcium loss. Aim to get 25% of your calories from protein (if you eat 2,000 calories a day, that’s 500 from protein). Just make lean choices such as low-fat yogurt, fat-free milk, fish, and poultry. Nuts are another great source but can be high in calories, so have just five 1-ounce servings a week (an ounce is about 24 almonds, 18 cashews, or 35 peanuts). Thin&Healthy’s protein supplements are a great way to get 15 grams of extra protein without a ton of calories. Check them out in our online store or your local Thin&Healthy weight loss center.
Eat the right fats
Research from Spain shows it’s easier to stay slim eating monounsaturated fats (such as olive oil) and omega-3s (found mostly in fish but also in flaxseed and walnut oils and tofu), while omega-6 fats (prevalent in cereals, corn oil, baked goods, and eggs) caused belly flab to pile on.
Fats that should be eliminated completely: trans fats, which have no nutritional value and are mostly found in calorie-dense baked goods and chips. In a Wake Forest University study, monkeys eating a typical American diet for 6 years gained the human equivalent of 10 pounds more when the fat they ate was all trans fat, compared with those eating monounsaturated fat. Worse, “30% more fat was added in the abdominal region, and they had early signs of diabetes,” says researcher Kylie Kavanagh, DVM

You can lose that belly!!
First you need to know what causes belly fat. How you eat is just as important as where you eat when it comes to weight gain. Larry Scherwitz and Deborah Kesten have identified seven specific eating patterns that make us overeat and that are linked to being overweight. This was reported from ABC'S “Good Morning America.” At Thin and Healthy Utah, we subscribe to these 7 steps for loosing that unwanted belly fat also.
The message is simple: Look at what your eating, and look at your relationship with food. Here are 7 examples to help you out. Each of these seven patterns of eating will negatively affect your relationship with food. Do you see yourself in any of these 7 categories?
1: Fresh Food, Fast Food – If you find yourself eating at McDonald's for lunch and then heating up packaged frozen foods at night, you're eating too much processed, high-calorie food. Where's the fresh food?
2: Food Fretting – Are you so concerned about what you eat that you experience negative and guilty feelings when you think about food?
3: Task Snacking – You're too busy to sit down and eat right. So you grab things to eat at your desk or in the car. If you're distracted when you eat and you're dining at the dashboard, chances are you'll eat more and gain weight.
4: Eating Atmosphere – Where you eat is as important as what you eat. When you dine in a calm setting, you're less likely to struggle with how much you eat.
5: Social Fare – People who eat alone tend to overeat. When we enjoy meals with others, we're far more likely to slow down and eat less.
6: Emotional Eating – Are you using food to manage your feelings?
7: Sensory/Spiritual Nourishment – People who eat this way are infusing their food with special meaning.
The study findings were published in Explore, a journal of science and healing.

Tired of trying diet after diet and not getting permanent weight loss results? It can be very difficult to lose those extra pounds of body fat – especially if your weight loss metabolism doesn't seem to be working. Weight loss DOESN’T HAVE TO BE difficult if you go about it the right way!
One for the best things you can do is get your metabolism checked so you know what your body fat percentage is and how many calories your body burns each day. There are a number of calculators and methods to show you how to calculate your body fat percentage and metabolic rate available. If you’d like help, make sure you contact us at Thin & Healthy’s Total Solution and we can help you calculate your body fat. We’ll even calculate your lean weight and metabolic rate. Having a healthy body fat percentage is one key indicator in keeping weight off. The higher your body fat percentage is the harder it is to lose weight and more impossible it is to keep the weight off once you’ve lost it.
Tired of trying diet after diet and not getting permanent weight loss results? It can be very difficult to lose those extra pounds of body fat - especially if your weight loss metabolism (as I fondly refer to it) has slowed down. Weight loss DOESN'T HAVE TO BE difficult if you go about it the right way!
One of the best things you can do is get your metabolism checked so you know what your body fat percentage is and how many calories your body burns each day. There are a number of calculators and methods to show you how to calculate your body fat percentage and metabolic rate available. If you'd like help, make sure you contact us at Thin & Healthy's Total Solution and we can help you calculate your body fat. We'll even calculate your lean weight and metabolic rate. Having a healthy body fat percentage is one key indicator in keeping weight off. The higher your body fat percentage is the harder it is to lose weight and more imposible it is to keep the weight off once you've lost it.
We recommend the average body fat for a man to be from 13-18 percent and women to be between 18-25 percent. The average body fat we see is up around 30 percent, which is exteremly high. Tracking the body fat percentage is as important as watching weight fall off on the scale. If the body fat percentage doesn't change as you're losing weight, you can expect any lost weight to come back on quickly.
It's not that body fat is the most important value in the weigh loss equation - but body fat is one value used to calculate the rate your body burns calories. The lower your body fat percentage is, the highter your lean weight is - and lean weight is what burns calories. To achieve permanent weight loss results, your body needs to burn calories efficiently - and that means turbo charching your metabolism.
Another great resource for knowing how to burn fat and know what calorie buring zone you are in, is in a graduated cardio test. This test will show you how to get your fat burning program and metabolism back on track. As you lose weight, speed up your metabolism, and burn body fat, your fat burning zones will change, so simply performing a graduated cardio test semi-regularly (quarterly or semi-annually) will help keep you on track to changing flab to fab.
Losing weight doesn't have to be difficult - you just need to do it the right way. Diet after diet is NOT the right answer - look around you - the typical American has been on 10-20 different diets in the last 3-5 years! Are many of them keeping their weight off? The answer is an astounding - NO!
We'll show you the secrets to losing weight, and give you a program that will help you KEEP YOUR WEIGHT OFF. We'll work with you to super charge your metabolism, burn calories while you sleep, and help you eat your favorite foods to boot! When you're serious about changing your body fat percentage, want to know how to calculate your body fat percentage, or find out how efficient your metabolism is - let us know, we can help.
