Controlling Your Metabolism
You’ve all heard at least one person say, “I just have a slow metabolism” and that is usually followed by, “And there is nothing I can do about it.” People are falling back on that excuse much too often these days. Look at those people that have “slow metabolisms” and then look at what they eat. Usually those people aren’t eating the most healthy foods. It’s all excuses. Some people really might have slower metabolisms. But you don’t have to just sit there and just surrender to the fact that you are doomed to be overweight your entire life, take it into your own hands. It’s all about how and when you eat. One of the biggest problems I see … Continue reading
The Birth of the IdealShape Successful Weight Loss Program
Hi, I am David Meine the creator of the Ideal Shape Audio Brain Food CD series. My personal health and fitness have always been very important to me. 26 years ago I was give a cassette tape that allowed me to lose 10 pounds in 30 days. I didn’t realize until 18 years later the power of that experience. That realization came while talking to my Foster Dad Tom Nightingale. One evening while watching the sun set on his back porch, he told Carla and me that he had lost and gained over a thousand pounds over his lifetime. While he was telling me this, in my mind I said “OH MY GOSH” could the secret that I learned 18 … Continue reading
The Myths About Traditional Weight Loss and Diet Programs Part 1
Since I was a wrestler in High School I have almost always been on a diet. I remember those days of trying to get my 5’11” frame down to 145 pounds. I would wear a plastic sweat suit, only eat hard boiled eggs, and spit a whole lot. I practically did anything that would get my weight to 145 pounds for weight ins on Friday night before my wrestling match. During my senior year our team was half way through the wrestling season and some bizarre events transpired. Before the Christmas break I had beat the previous year’s state champ. I went into the two week Christmas vacation believing I would be the state wrestling champion at 145 pounds. I … Continue reading
People are Divine – They are not their Behavior when it comes to Weight Loss
Over the last year I have become a Certified Hypnotherapy and Weight Loss Specialist. As I work with clients I am amazed at the many different behaviors that individuals struggle with in creating their ideal shapes. Over the last 30 years I have observed successful people in many different areas of life. Whether it is business persons, medical field, sports, religious, contractors, real estate, technologies and the list goes on and on, the one thing they all have is a positive mind set. This mind set is what drew me to weight loss hypnotherapy. With the United States struggling with an unprecedented number of obese and overweight individuals, I believe that IdealShape has figured out how to change this dilemma. … Continue reading
A Healthy Appetite Suppressant: Does It Exist?
To many of us, “appetite suppressant” sounds strange. Why would I want to go against my body if it’s telling me I’m hungry? And there have been oodles of unhealthy and untrustworthy diet products on the market. These have only added to our skepticism, and rightly so. But healthy appetite suppressants are possible. It’s simply a matter of tapping the power of foods that naturally fill you up. Add health- and energy-promoting nutrients, and you also get the sustenance your body needs. There’s nothing unnatural about that. So maybe we should look at these natural products not as appetite “suppressants,” but as appetite “satisfiers.” But how do they work, and how do I know it's healthy?
Battling America’s Biggest Addiction
It seems harmless. After all, it’s naturally found in fruits, vegetables and just about everything else. But it's being called the most common addiction in our society today. What is it? Sugar. The findings have proved that we don’t simply eat sugary foods because they tastes good; we’re addicted. The average American consumes 32 teaspoons a day! Just like other addictive substances, when we eat it, our brain's “feel good” chemicals (including serotonin and dopamine) come into play. The more you eat, the more you need to eat in order to get the same high. In addition to furthering many health problems, sugar is one of the biggest contributors to obesity. While it’s important to moderate all sugar intake, it’s … Continue reading
Caffeine: Good or Bad for Slimming Down?
When people start taking our weight loss supplement, ResveraShape, some are surprised to see caffeine on the list of ingredients. There are hoards of reports out there that give it a bad rap. Just seeing the word, our guards go up and we let out a little gasp: Isn’t it bad for you? Not necessarily. In fact, our weight loss supplement contains caffeine in two concentrated forms: Green Tea and Caffeine Anhydrous. But caffeine is a complex element, and of course, there’s more to the story...
