  • How Your Mindset Makes the Difference Between Success & Failure

    First of all, you are doing a great job.
    I keep reminding you how few people really take the time to have goals and work to reach them, its amazing that you are so dedicated, so consistent and so strong.
    How did that feel?
    Did it feel good? Or did it feel like, well, a lie?
    A lot of what we do is from what we believe about ourselves.
    What do you believe you are capable of?
    Seriously?
    When we are doubting our basic capabilities,
    someone telling us that we can do ANYTHING
    literally just washes over the top of our heads (if we're lucky)
    or worse, makes us think "Yeah, right, I'm totally worthless!"
    Reinforcing the negative belief we have.
    So, today look for the way
    YOU LOOK FOR PROOF to
    uphold your beliefs about yourself.
    Sounds lame?
    Well, if you actually do it, you will be surprised.
    Whatever beliefs you hold about yourself your brain (ego)
    is actively looking to reinforce with proof....
    that's why affirmations, when done repeatedly, work, and
    when you tell yourself something negative, its just a negative affirmation!
    When you tell yourself over and over again
    "I Don't MATTER."
    "I will never lose weight"
    "I am a failure"
    "NObody loves me"
    Because its too painful for your brain (ego) to be wrong,
    you decide that you have to be right and you go out seeking proof. (Hello, self sabotage anyone?)
    It's backwards, because your subconscious doesn't really understand that the statement is not "right", but
    that's besides the point.
    This happens to the degree that when someone gives you a compliment that goes against what you've decided is true, your brain (ego) feels uncomfortable... and you decide they are lying, they have an ulterior motive, etc.
    Watch your thoughts today,
    watch what you tell yourself about your limitations...
    That is what is standing in your way and you have the power to change them!

  • Getting rid of 20 Pounds of Stored Up Waste!

    Okay we have to talk about something a little gross... Constant Bloating and flatulence are not normal body functions, they are the body trying to deal with some bad circumstances the best that it can... that problem can be that there is some internal waste build up inside your intestines and colon! This reaction can also be from food sensitivities and other digestive issues.
    Newport Skinny Tea will greatly help reduce normal bloating AND help clean out your intestines as well, but if you feel like you've got a more serious issue to deal with, here's an easy solution to really getting your insides squeaky clean.
    Using this trick while you're on your Newport Skinny program may greatly speed up results for you.
    Dramatic bloating and excess gas can be diminished by removing mucus, feces deposits and parasites from the intestines and colon. The digestive system is 25 to 30 feet long and in processing all our food and drinks, it can accumulate of over 15-20 pounds of stored feces and toxic waste over the years.
    This excess waste can contaminate our blood and cause damage to our health. Frequent constipation, out of whack metabolism, pre-diabetes, excess weight, organ diseases, hearing and sight issues, skin breakouts, hair and nails slow growth all are signs that you may have excess waste rotting in your intestines, feeding the bad bacteria.

    Colonics can clean out only a small part of the colon and are costly, time consuming and may affect gut micro biome.

    Luckily there is a very simple solution to getting your insides cleaner-  ground Flaxseed. Taking1-3 tablespoons daily of flaxseed meal daily, for three weeks, can help clean the intestines from mucus, feces deposits and parasites, while maintaining a balanced gut flora. It helps if you really follow our NST eating plan during this time and stay very well hydrated. Junk food, dairy and sugar will only make this condition worse!

    Remember as well, movement helps pump our lymph system, which helps the body remove excess toxins, so walking daily will help!

    Often when the congested digestive tract lined with this thick mucus layer, it makes you incapable of properly absorbing the nutrition from your food, bringing on a feeling of starvation. Flax helps clean this layer off, so you can absorb more nutrition, which helps you feel less hungry.

    Flax is very high in soluble and insoluble fiber which can also improve digestive health. The fiber found in flaxseeds provides food for friendly bacteria in your colon (probiotics!) that can help cleanse waste from your system and rebalance it.

    You can drink it in your tea or sprinkle it on food after you grind it, it does absorb water and becomes a bit jelly like, so drink it quick if you don't want that in your mouth!

    and store them in the fridge because they contain Omega 3 oils, if you can, grind them fresh daily.  
    Use the flax seed with your NST to accelerate your results and let me know how you're doing!

  • How to be in Fat Burning Mode more of the time

    First of all... don't be scared by the mention of the word fasting. I'm not asking you to starve yourself and drink only water.
     
    If you're struggling with weight loss, especially while eating carbs, I can guess you have a history of losing weight and gaining weight. You struggle with what to eat, how much to eat and how much to exercise.
     
    Eventually this struggle results in decision fatigue, at that point you just want to give up having to expend energy making health decisions where you are constantly having to weigh your values and goals against your immediate wants and needs.
     
    This constant weighing back and forth is exhausting. Everyone from President Obama to Steve Jobs has spoken about how simplifying their decision making process has saved their sanity.
    If you are constantly wondering how and what you're going to eat, a lot of your mental energy is consumed by what should be a simple decision. Your brain, though, only wants to make so many decisions. A diet "plan" seems to solve this problem by telling you what to eat, until your immediate needs of your body and mind take over and you give up following the plan. One reason that your body's needs take over is because your body is not being able to access and use your fat stores for energy, so its sending signals to your brain that its starving and you should SEND FOOD NOW!
    And so you eat, anything you can find!
     
    If you are struggling to use fat as energy, you have an insulin issue, I'm not claiming you are pre-diabetic or have metabolic syndrome, but your insulin is probably out of whack some how.
    Getting insulin low is the key to unlocking your fat stores and using them. All foods affect insulin to some degree, but any starchy carb or refined sugar is the worst at spiking your insulin up high and putting a pad lock on your fat stores, while maybe even adding to them.
    Intermittent fasting helps correct insulin imbalances by making your body more sensitive to insulin, so it needs to make less of it and it uses it better. It seems to allow the body to access and use their fat stores, which means you lose body fat without feeling so uncomfortable.
    Women seem to be better suited to fasting about 14-15 hours at a time and it seems to give them similar results to a man's 18 hour fast. This would mean eating your last meal at 8pm and not eating again until 10 am. If you normally eat until 11pm and then get up at start eating around 6 or 7 am, this one change would almost double your "fasting" period.
    Intermittent Fasting and decreasing your insulin is one area that the original Newport Skinny Tea program can definitely help you with, if you eat your dinner between 7-8pm and have your evening tea after that, you will not have any additional increases in your insulin, which will allow your body to go into fat burning mode during the night.
    The same goes with the morning, if you can get up and just drink your tea, do some exercise and not eat until 10 am, you will likely become more sensitive to insulin. You will be using up any stored energy in your muscles and then when you eat your body will be able to use it instead of store it.
    Also, in Newport Skinny Tea there are several ingredients that help your insulin sensitivity, cinnamon is well known to help you be more insulin sensitive. Kokum (Carcinia Cambogia) also helps your pancreas repair its beta cells, which produce insulin. Green and black tea also make your body better at using body fat.
     
    This week I want you to try to increase your resting "fasting" period to 8pm until 10am. If this feels uncomfortable, then go slow, increase it by 20-30 minutes at a time, in one week that can be three and a half hours!
