Mediterranean Diet

If you've tried eating the Mediterranean Diet, you know that you aren't hungry, and you get to eat a variety of foods.

I was just researching "anti-inflammatory foods" for an article I'm writing, and I came upon the Mediterranean Diet quite a few times as a way of eating that can help promote overall health and reduce inflammation.

Now with more research, I stumbled upon this new information. Even more good reasons for us to eat lots of fruits and veggies, lean meats, healthy fats, and all the good things that our body needs!

Just say NO to processed foods full of additives and chemicals. Your body doesn't need or want those things.

Holiday Hypnotherapy? Weight Loss Over the Holidays

One of the biggest reasons people gain weight at the holidays: lack of willpower.  But what if it was possible to manipulate your willpower, making you unwavering to the temptations of the season?     Hypnotist Colin Christopher , author of the book Success Through Manipulation: Subconscious Reactions That Will Make or Break You , who helps his patients lose weight through hypnosis, says hypnosis manipulates and strengthens a person’s willpower so much, that he guarantees anyone who uses it can lose weight this time of year when food is in abundance.       That’s not his opinion; the stats back it up.  The Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology says that adding hypnosis increased weight loss by an average of 97%, and increased the effectiveness of weight loss post hypnosis by more than 146%.
