If you have a blender and five minutes then you have time for breakfast. I normally eat cereal for breakfast, but variety keeps life interesting. This smoothie is super simple. It has just 3 ingredients and can be ready in 5 minutes. I used Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt because it has a lot more protein which keeps you feeling full (that’s a good thing).

Skinny Fiber Results



Brandi J Says: 

"Ah that is me back in August of 2012, holding my McDonald’s Sweet Tea! But look what time and 90 days of Skinny Fiber has changed! I can’t find the before picture that I took just before the challenge started (My computer is in the shop) but if anything I gained a few lbs. between August and March. All in all, I could have done better but I have to take some personal responsibility as well. With the stress I have been under, I would have gained weight during this time period in the past, so the fact that I lost weight is great! In fact, I never really lost weight and kept it off for this long in the past. During the challenge, I lost 13 lbs. and 14.25 inches. I did not totally change my eating habits. I still ate pizza, candy bars, ate out at restaurants and had other no, no food that other weight loss plans would frown upon. I only exercised sporadically, which some weeks I would not exercise at all. I am a work in progress and I strive to choose healthier options every day.

Here are my stats for inches lost:

Neck 3/4" Chest 2”
Waist 3” Left arm 1”
Right arm 1/4” Hips 3”
Left leg 2 1/2” Right Leg 1 1/2”

The most wonderful thing about Skinny Fiber is what it has done for my quality of life. It has reduced my pain levels, so I do not have to take 800 mg of ibuprofen to run to Walmart to pick up a few things. I am able to go on walks with my kids, spend the day at the zoo, I have doubled the amount of time I can walk on the treadmill and in all honestly, I now live life in a way I haven’t been able to in a long while."

Facts About Skinny Fiber


Do I need to follow a particular diet or eating plan while taking Skinny Fiber?
It is not essential to follow a particular plan but you do need to listen to your body.  Many of us eat large portion sizes out of habit and continue eating past being full.  If you aim to reduce your portion sizes and choose more natural unprocessed foods then this will of course increase the benefits and results you get from Skinny Fiber.

If you prefer the structure of following a certain diet then Skinny Fiber may compliment it well and boost your results even further.  Its unique blend of ingredients may help you stick to a certain eating plan through feeling satisfied with smaller portions and reducing cravings.

What will not work is if you take Skinny Fiber and continue to overeat to excess regardless of how full you are feeling – continuing to binge on unhealthy processed foods and expecting Skinny Fiber to be a miracle cure isn’t going to get you results you want as the supplement will be fighting a losing battle with your continued unhealthy eating habits.

When is the best time to take Skinny Fiber?

You can take Skinny Fiber in different doses at the times of the day that suit you best.  It is recommended that you take 2 Skinny Fiber capsules, twice daily, 30 minutes before your 2 largest meals of the day – typically lunch and evening meal.  However, we are all different and some people will find that a larger dose of 2 capsules 3 times a day or 3 capsules twice a day will make a huge difference to their results.  Here are some suggested routines:

4 capsules a day:
2 x capsules before lunch and 2 x capsules before dinner

6 capsules a day:
3 x capsules first thing in the morning and 3 x capsules early evening or
2 x capsules before breakfast, 2 x capsules before lunch and 2 x capsules before dinner

You can alter the times that you take Skinny Fiber to suit you.  For example, if you are very hungry mid-morning and mid-afternoon then take yours then.  If you are a late night snacker, take your dose mid-evening to curb those cravings.  The important thing is to be consistent and make sure you take them regularly every day.

How should I take Skinny Fiber?

With plenty of water!  This is a fiber product so you may experience bloating if you are not drinking enough water with it.  Ensure your water intake is at least 2 litres a day or even more if you can manage it. I can't stress how effective this is as many of us don't get our required intake of water even without taking the extra fiber.  Many people find taking the capsules with lukewarm water and lemon first thing in the morning also boosts their results (please make sure the water is lukewarm and not hot so that the capsules don’t dissolve in your mouth).

Does everyone experience a detox effect?

Depending on your current state of health and the number of capsules you take, you may experience different levels of detox when you first start taking Skinny Fiber.  Some people need to go through this detox stage before they start to see the weight coming off.  Skinny Fiber works hard to improve your health from the inside out.  Just keep up the high water intake you will soon start seeing the benefits.

How long does it take Skinny Fiber to work?

Skinny Fiber is not a quick fix weight loss product and it can take several weeks to start seeing results for some people.  This is perfectly normal and varies from person to person depending on your state of health before you started taking Skinny Fiber.  If you have digestion problems or other underlying health issues, it will take a while to restore your body’s balance.  Fat can be stored as a way of protecting the body and once your overall health improves, the weight loss will follow.

I still feel hungry even when I take Skinny Fiber as directed, what should I do?

This may be happening for a couple of reasons.  Firstly, you may be dehydrated.  Dehydration can cause us to feel a false hunger and since you are taking a fiber supplement it is even more important to ensure you have plenty of water / fluids.  Drinking plenty of water will ensure that the Glucomannan expands to full capacity in your stomach.

Another reason is that your digestive health may not be good when you first start taking Skinny Fiber.  Be patient and be consistent, every day this supplement is having a positive effect on your health and once more healing has taken place, your appetite should reduce and you should start to see your weight dropping.

Does Skinny Fiber give you the jitters?

Skinny Fiber contains all natural ingredients that work to restore your body’s digestive health, reduce your appetite and gently increase your metabolism to promote natural weight loss over time.  Skinny Fiber does not contain caffeine or any other ingredients that are known to give users the ‘jitters’.

Can I take Skinny Fiber while I am Pregnant or Breast Feeding?

Since no formal clinical trials have been conducted, it is advised that you stop taking Skinny Fiber once you discover you are pregnant and whilst breast feeding.  Your Skinny Fiber intake can be resumed afterwards as a great supplement to help get your post baby body back in shape.  Consult your Dr. if breast feeding we have many that have been clearred to use Skinny Fiber while still breastfeeing and is usually safe for mom and baby.

Is Skinny Fiber gluten free?

Yes, this all natural product is gluten free.  Click the link below for a close up of the product label. http://www.skinnybodycare.com//images/labelLargeNew.jpg

Does Skinny Fiber have any side effects?

To date we have not discovered any reports of negative side effects due to the use of Skinny Fiber.  Some individuals may notice increased bowel movements and gas at first due to the increase in fiber and detoxifying effect on the body depending on the state of their digestive health when they start taking the supplement.  If this happens, we suggest increasing your water intake.  These effects are usually short lived once the body gets used to the increased fiber and your digestive health starts to improve.

Has Skinny Fiber been approved by the FDA?

A Tasty Mushroom Recipe to Boost Immunity



Autumn marks the beginning of mushroom season! Don’t worry, you don’t have to search the woods far and wide to get the immune-boosting benefits. You will find them popping up at your local farmers markets and in the produce section of grocery stores. Once you get your hands on some shiitakes, how do you use them? Here is everything you need to know about the benefits and how to enjoy them in a creamy, delicious soup.

n my newest book, Secrets of Longevity Cookbook, I list shiitake mushrooms as one of the top ten foods for health and longevity. So, where did this top-ten list come from? During my twenty-five years of studying centenarians, I discovered that the same ten foods kept showing up again and again in the diets of long-living individuals, and mushrooms—especially shiitakes—showed up with astounding frequency. This is the ninth article in my monthly series that highlights these top ten longevity foods. If you’re just catching up, check out the longevity benefits of corn,black beanswalnutssweet potatoespeanutsgreen teaseaweed, and sesame seeds!

Shiitake Benefits

In China, mushrooms are regarded as a symbol of longevity and have long been used to boost immunity. The shiitake mushroom especially is packed with coumarin (a naturally occurring chemical compound), and sterols (a group of chemical compounds like cholesterol), in addition to essential vitamins and minerals that enhance immune functions. And there’s more! Shiitake is considered to help lower cholesterol levels, regulate blood sugar, treat infections, assist in the prevention of heart disease, and give some support for cancer prevention. Want to know more? Check out the mushrooms entry in The Natural Health Dictionary.
When trying a new mushroom, it best to eat only a bite or two the first time, as even commonly cultivated mushrooms may adversely affect some people.

Which is Better—Fresh or Dried?

As mushrooms have become more popular, they are also easier to find fresh in specialty stores and markets. Fresh is best because more delicate beneficial compounds may be damaged in dehydrating process—but if you have no luck finding them fresh at the supermarket, you will still definitely benefit from the dried version.
To reconstitute dried mushrooms, soak them in water for about an hour until they plump up to original size and then cook with them as you usually would. Cut off the woody stems and store in your freezer to be used the next time you make a batch of broth! Store dried foods in airtight glass containers, but even so, keep in mind that dried foods will not last forever and the nutrient levels in the foods will degrade over time.

Immunity-Boosting Cream of Mushroom and Cauliflower Soup 

Serves 4
For mushroom lovers, there’s nothing like a hearty, creamy cup of mushroom soup seasoned with herbs. This recipe combines the wonderfully intense flavors of shiitake and portobello mushrooms with cilantro, oregano, garlic, and onion, a collection of ingredients that work synergistically to boost your immunity to colds and flu and also act like natural antibiotics to help you fight infection. Best of all, the cream base for the soup is dairy-free and uses the natural, creamy texture of cauliflower, a cruciferous vegetable that also helps prevent cancer.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 small head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 5 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup fresh shiitake mushrooms, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup portobello mushrooms, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup white button mushrooms, coarsely chopped 
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • Fresh oregano sprigs, for garnish
Preparation:
1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onions, garlic, and cauliflower; reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the onion and cauliflower are softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the stock, mushrooms, wine, and three-quarters of the cilantro. Bring the soup to a boil and cook over medium heat until the mushrooms are softened, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. 
2. Working in batches, puree the soup in a food processor or blender until smooth. Return the soup to a clean saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat; season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. To serve, ladle the warm soup into serving bowls and sprinkle the remaining cilantro over the top. Garnish with oregano sprigs. Sit back and enjoy!

Perception of Beauty is Affected by Self Confidence


http://6footer.agelesshealthyskin.com/


Beauty. It isn’t a myth, but what it is and how we define it are two questions consistently shifting with time, never scientifically proven or concrete across generations, genders, and cultures.
As much as beauty is all around us, our primary concern usually is our own personal beauty. However, when we turn a critical eye on our own beauty, we often see our faults in a much more exaggerated light than we do our strengths. At my practice in Miami, I notice my patients focusing on their perceived flaws instead of on their individual beauty. Recently,Dove created a campaign to illustrate this exact point. Women are so hard on themselves, and often, strangers see us in a more forgiving light than we see ourselves. Looking into a mirror, no one else is staring back at you but YOU! Embrace that person.
We all want to take care of our skin. In fact, scientist and psychologist Nancy Etcoff stresses in her book, Survival of the Prettiest, that beauty is “an essential and ineradicable part of human nature.” Once you accept your natural physical beauty, the next step is to play to your strengths and properly care for your skin. You can achieve this with a healthy lifestyle and a tailored skincare regimen.  Some choose to opt for anti-aging procedures such as Botox, JuvĂ©derm, lasers, and skin tightening devices. Please make sure that you find a trustworthy and artistic doctor to perform whatever cosmetic procedures you wish to indulge in, so that you do not look over done or fake. There is an art to aging gracefully, and as long as you maintain a natural appearance – that is, one that is not overdone – your beauty will continue to shine even when your chronological age increases.
Besides physical beauty, there are many factors that play important roles in aging and making you feel and look more youthful: state-of-mind including a positive attitude and self-confidence, diet, setting and achieving goals, and exercise. Here’s why:
  • Feeling good about yourself, inside and out, gives you a positive attitude, and in turn, attitude plays an important role in wellness. This Oxford Journal article depicts how self-esteem levels change throughout a person’s lifespan – beginning high in childhood, dropping during adolescence, rising gradually throughout adulthood, and declining sharply in old age. For many women, self-confidence is the missing key that will make all the difference.
  •  Another article linking appearance to self-esteem shows that enhancing one’s appearance through means of diet, cosmetic procedures, and exercise can intrinsically raise self-esteem.
  • Exercising, on a very basic level, boosts self-esteem and improves self-image. No matter your weight, dress size, gender, or age, getting active can promptly raise your perception of your own attractiveness and self-worth. It’s also a great stress-reducer – keeping those wrinkles at bay!
  • Setting and achieving goals lets you take the reins on your life. Thinking about your dreams, goals, and future can play a huge role in elevating your self-esteem. You feel stronger and more accomplished which factors into overall happiness.
  • Tying it all together is Joanna Rohrback. This YouTube internet sensationtaught us a thing or two while she “prancercised.” She embodies all the key elements that keep her healthy and youthful.
Despite the fact that each generation, culture, and gender has its own unique standards of beauty, all of us can agree that beauty is truly in the eyes of the beholder, inside and out. Combining diligence and preventative measures help us maintain a healthy, youthful exterior, but taking care of the interior is just as imperative. Here’s to a confident you!
