Reduce the number of TVs in your home, and don't watch TV during
meals, directs Karen Lewis, program director of the Washington,
DC-based TV-Turnoff Network. "If a TV is the focal point of your room,
move it to a less prominent location," she says. Or hide it in an
entertainment center that has a door you can close, cover it with a
beautiful piece of fabric or a quilt, or put a painting on an easel or
a folding screen in front of it. And before you turn it on, check a
program guide to see if there's anything you really want to watch

Weight Loss Hint--The Secret To Avoiding Overeating #1
One of the best ways to avoid overeating and under-exercising is to
turn off the TV, says William Dietz, MD, PhD, of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention. Studies have shown that the more TV
people watch, the less they move and the more they weigh. And if
Jeopardy or Entertainment Tonight are your nightly dinner companions,
you're probably eating more too. Where your kids watch makes a
difference in their weight too: Research also shows that children with
TVs in their bedrooms are more likely to be overweight.

How many food choices do you make every day?
via msnbc.msn.com
How many food choices do you make every day? MSNBC reports we make 200 food choices a day! You would think with making that many choices today we would have better odds at making healthier choices. With obesity rates on the rise, it's obvious most Americans are NOT making good choices when it comes to putting things in their mouths.
It's not that we need to stop enjoying what we're eating - it's that we need to enjoy making healthier choices so we enjoy life more! What we eat affects how we feel, how we deal with stress, and how much energy we have.
Changing how we view our food and what is good vs what is good for us is ultra important if we expect to make a lifestyle change that can sustain permanent results. Really our relationship with food is what we need to focus on - why do we crave doughnuts and pastrys instead of carrots or nuts? Is it really that we don't like carrots or nuts, or is it the memories or special occasions when we got doughnuts or pastrys that we REALLY like about them?
I was just on a call with The Clearing Cure, where we worked on changing the emotions so they don't trigger the cravings so frequently.
Just starting to work out?
Beginner's Schedule for Walking
Having a hard time getting started? Try following this beginner schedule. Warm up and cool down times are included in the scheduled minutes. Be sure to stretch after your walks.
Download and print a copy of this chart.
It is important that you are consistent with your workout. Consistency will help you develop a new habit.
The starting day for this schedule can be any day. Just keep the easy and hard days in the same order. If you are particularly tired during one week, don't increase your workout time. Use the previous week's schedule instead.
You may want to add another activity or two in order to keep things interesting and to cross train your muscles. If you do so, choose one of the easier days (Sunday or Wednesday) for this. One suggested schedule: take Sunday off and cross train on Wednesday. It is wise to wait until you've developed the habit of daily exercise before you change your routine.
You will feel tired and may experience some muscles soreness when you begin. This is normal. Don't let it keep you from walking. However, if you are in pain, stop your work out immediately and make an appointment to see your physician.
Note: If you have any chronic health problems you should get your physician's approval before beginning any fitness program.

Illinois taxes candy & soft drinks
Illinois is increasing tax on many household items like candy, soda, tooth paste, liquor - even shampoo. I've seen articles on KSL where they're suggesting a sugar tax in Utah.
Have you seen reports on the sugar consumption in Utah? Will a tax on sugar help with the obesity rates?
No Thin And Healthy In Your Area?
Wouldn’t it be great to find a program (not a ‘diet’ to follow) that teaches you how to not only lose your weight but shows you how to keep it off so you never need to lose weight again? Wouldn’t it also be great if you could follow a program in the privacy of your own home?
Great News! If you don't have a Thin And Healthy in your area, we provide a comprehensive online program that uses the same effective proven, results-producing systems taught in our in-center programs. It's called Total Health Interactive (THI). Now you can lose weight with our system all from the comfort and convenience of your own home with the Thin&Healthy THI online program!

Should sugar be taxed?
Number 1, it stimulates hunger; No. 2, it hurts your liver, and No. 3, it makes your brain want more.
via ksl.com
I saw this article on KSL. Its part of a series they've published. It's been interesting see how it flows and the points the editors make.
Is sugar equal to tobacco when it comes to addiction?

Just feel younger by using it
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?"

Simple Stretch Marks Treatment
Stretch marks have a very ugly appearance and coupled with cellulite can take a toll on self confidence and self image. Stretch marks may occur from gaining weight, losing weight quickly or even pregnancy. All these situations result in rapid changes to body shape, which in turn affects your skin. Normal glowing skin can turn ugly and very unsightly.
The good news is there are simple treatments for stretch marks and their appearance. For one, if you are not getting proper nutrition, you may be more susceptible to getting stretch marks. Just changing your diet and eating habits in a more healthful way is an easy stretch mark treatment. Part of eating healthy is cutting out caffeine and tea which can make you dehydrated.
Keeping your skin hydrated and looking youthful is the goal It Works Body Slimming and Skin Care products. The Ultimate Applicator helps to tone, tighten, and hydrate skin and the skin care products help rejuvenate skin to give you luxuriously smooth and youthful skin all over.

I am a former tub of lard
My Name is Viola Doll and I am a former tub of lard. Before Thin&Healthy I was falling apart. I had asthma and I was unable to walk any distance without my hips back and knees bothering me. I have a family history of diabetes and had gestational diabetes with my youngest son, so I was on track to develop type-2 diabetes. Sex was impossible I felt like I was suffocating, I was embarrassed to ride an airplane because I had to ask for a seat belt extension, Do you know how embarrassing it is to be marched to the front of a small plane because only the extra long seat belt will fit? How about having to ask someone to get things from higher shelves because your belly got in the way? Or go into a store with lots of pretty clothes only to find that your options were limited to maybe two or three selections if they had anything at all? I was miserable.
Then it got worse when I lost my job. I was depressed. So when the opportunity to relocate with my former company was presented to me I jumped at the chance. Little did I know, at the time, how much my life would change from that one seemingly simple decision.
I began my work and the settling in process began... I got to know the staff at my new job and feel more comfortable. Then one day something struck me, the manager was losing weight--a lot of weight in very little time!!! How was she doing it?
She had joined Thin and Healthy and had lost 16 lbs in just a few short weeks. I thought, "Could it work for me?" I decided to go for it. I was on my way to a healthier me. But did I really believe I would get to 150 pounds? That was about 1/2 of the almost 300 pounds I weighed in with? To tell the truth I didn't think it was possible. I had been on several plans before and always lost 25 to 35 pounds, but then became bored and quit after 2 months. Thin and Healthy was different. I wasn't eating skimpy bite size portions, but real amounts of good healthy food.
The weight started rolling off. I resisted exercise at first due to the health problems but after I lost 25 pounds, I bought a stationary bike secondhand and took baby steps on it starting with just a few minutes a day. Then the weight started coming off faster. In about 6 months I had lost 50 pounds. Wow real success without being hungry!!
Coming in to see the staff twice a week was something I looked forward to. The good news the scale held for me helped too. Better yet was my incredible joy at being able to do things. Like walking to sightsee in France, crossing my legs, and my personal favorite, wearing sexy high heels-which I had not been able to do for better than 20 years!!!! It was amazing buying my first sexy formal dress and finding out I had beautiful shoulders. It was great going to a convention with my husband and finding out his friends were flirting with me-Me!! That had NEVER happened to me, not ever!!!! And I rediscovered my relationship with my husband. He has a hard time now keeping up with all my energy and things VASTLY improved behind closed doors (haha).
What made the difference in this plan? I had to EAT! I had to MOVE and I had SUPPORT to do it. I felt valued!! Somebody cared what I was doing. The open door meant there was always a friend to discuss factors with. With the support I have lost just under 150 pounds and over 162 inches. This has helped me get into a size 14 instead of those horrible 30-32.

Reducing Stress To Reduce Belly Fat
Stress is being shown to play a significant role in a wide variety of conditions and disease states. Recent work from the National Institute of Health (NIH) and other major research centers has demonstrated that stress is a significant contributor to immune dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, other age-related disorders, and to excessive body fat.
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
