Skinny Fiber Results!!!!

WOW Marsha!!!

Hey everyone here is my latest update and want to share with you all! Free to use!
This is me Marsha and this is the end of my 3rd 90 day Challenge!!
So far I'm down 89 lbs. !!!
here are my beginning measurement's and my today measurement's
Starting Now Amount lost
waist- 61 in 45.8 in -15.2 in
hips- 54.1 in 47.6 in -6.5 in
chest- 50.1 in 42 in -8.1 in
With all the other measurement's I take I've lost a total of 50" all over!
I had hit a plateau after my last 90 day challenge and it picked up after I started taking my walks again. I honestly don't know where I'd be today if I haven't giving Skinny Fiber a try, with that and dedication, determination and self control I've come this far and I'm not done just yet!
Before Skinny fiber I would of never been able to get up and walk far the back pain I was suffering didn't allow me to get far before it took me out. My legs were swollen which made it that much harder to get around. I would get shortness of breath and would have to stop to catch my breath. As far as my sleep apnea I haven't been back to have another sleep study test but I can say I sleep through the night without waking up struggling to breath and no longer wake up with headaches. Also I find myself waking up on my back which anyone with sleep apnea will tell you is a no no when you have it. So with that said if I had to take a guess I would say that's gone or way under control! I sleep great at night don't even need sleep aids to get there!
Here are a list of things that since I've been on skinny fiber hasn't bothered me since a week after or no more than a month later just totally stopped bothering me.
My Arthritis in my spine - week later which made it possible to get around
IBS
Sleep - within a week or two was taking sleeping pills just to be able to fall asleep.
Swelling in my legs- left after a month right after a couple months
Headaches/Migraines after a couple weeks and got over the detox.
I'm off my Cholesterol pills, high blood pressure pills, any and all pain pills, water pills and there are more I can't remember I was on a total of 8 and now only take one for my restless leg syndrome . I can say the restless leg syndrome don't bother me much unless I don't get much sleep!
No more Cramps! (PMS) not even the mood swings that come with it!
Ok I know there is more and I'm just forgetting but I covered a lot that I'm thankful that's gone since I've started my journey with Skinny Fiber.
With that said here is my update! I'm still a work in progress!
Oh and before I forget Hubby Started with me in January of this year and is down 26 lbs.!!!!
Just an FYI I will be starting my 4th 90 Day Challenge as I'm still a work in progress and have a ways to go! I absolutely love skinny fiber and what it has done for me!!

7 Small But Powerful Diet Habits That Add Up to Major Weight-Loss Success


1. Eat Breakfast Every Day


—Lisa D’Agrosa, M.S., R.D.


1. Eat Breakfast Every Day

Research shows dieters are more successful at losing weight—and keeping it off—when they eat breakfast. If you don’t already eat breakfast, start. If you are already a breakfast eater, try eating the same breakfast multiple days each week. Repeating the same meals can help you shed pounds, according to research. One of my morning favorites: a whole-wheat English muffin topped with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and ½ sliced banana. This meal delivers a modest 278 calories, along with filling fiber and protein. It’s also portable and ready in less than 5 minutes, so forget about using any "I don’t have time for breakfast" excuses.



2. Downsize Your Dish

Studies show that we eat less when we use smaller dinnerware. The theory is that our eyes get tricked into thinking we are eating more because our plate is full, making the food portions look bigger. The result: we are satisfied with less food. Try eating your meals on salad plates instead of larger dinner plates.

2. Downsize Your Dish


3. Trade Up Your Fork

It sounds counterintuitive, but research shows using a bigger fork and subsequently taking bigger bites can actually lead to eating less (apparently seeing yourself making a larger dent in the food on your plate can cue you to stop eating sooner). You’ll increase the benefit by holding the fork with your nondominant hand to slow you down. Eating slower helps you consume fewer calories without you even realizing it.3. Trade Up Your Fork

4. Drink Lots of Water

You’ve probably heard it before but this is one diet-friendly adage that’s tried and true, so start hydrating. Drinking 2 cups of water before eating a meal can help you lose weight. The water helps you feel full sooner, so you eat less and in turn weigh less.
4. Drink Lots of Water

5. Display Produce Proudly

You know the phrase "out of sight, out of mind"? Not what you want when it comes to eating more fruits and vegetables. Produce delivers lots of nutrients but not a lot of calories. Plus, it’s packed with fiber, which helps fill you up. Don’t shove your beautiful apples to the back of the produce drawer, or bury your carrots under your other groceries. Instead, bring the fruits and vegetables front and center in your refrigerator and out in your kitchen. Try keeping fruit like bananas and oranges on the counter in a fruit bowl where they’ll be in plain sight. You’ll also be more likely to reach for diet-friendly fruits and veggies if they’re ready for easy snacking. In fact, when Google moved their fruit bowl to the front of the cafeteria, employees’ fruit consumption increased by two thirds in just one month. Wash and slice celery, peppers and other delicious produce, and then pack them in baggies so you can easily grab them for a quick—and healthy—treat.

6. Snack on Yogurt

Yogurt was recently identified as a top weight-loss-promoting food by Harvard University. It’s high inprotein, which, gram for gram, helps fill you up more than carbs. Stick to plain, low-fat or nonfat yogurt for a healthy snack, without extra sugar or saturated fat. Another diet bonus? The probiotics in yogurt may help you burn fat. In one study, researchers gave overweight, but otherwise healthy, adults about 1/2 cup of yogurt at dinner every night for six weeks. Some ate yogurt supplemented with an added dose of probiotics (either Lactobacillus fermentum or L. amylovorus), while others got regular yogurt (which has a lower probiotic content ). Though none of the subjects lost weight, those consuming the probiotic-enriched yogurt lost 3 to 4 percent of their body fat, compared to just 1 percent body fat lost in the other group. To ensure your yogurt delivers a decent amount of probiotics, look for one that carries the "Live & Active Cultures" seal.

7. Enjoy a Small Treat

Don’t banish all your favorite foods. Doing so may lead to failure. A drastically limited diet is not sustainable, and feeling deprived may eventually cause you to overeat. Savoring a small treat daily really won’t sabotage your weight-loss efforts, according to research. Keep the treats small—aim for about 150 calories or less. Try savoring two squares of dark chocolate, a ½ cup of ice cream or one 5-oz. glass of wine. This is one habit most of us can stick with for the long haul.

Fatty Foods that Can Actually Help You Lose Weight





You already know that foods rich in saturated fats are about as good for your arteries as pouring superglue in them. But not all fats deserve a bad rap. 
Foods with healthy fats are not only good for your heart, but they also make the best go-to snacks for controlling hunger and promotingweight loss, according to chief medical consultant for "The Dr. Oz Show" and co-founder of YouBeauty, Mike Roizen, M.D. This includes the healthy fats found in safflower, coconut, cod liver, olive and canola oils, as well as omega-3 DHA, walnuts, macadamia nuts and chia seeds. In short, these oils and the foods that contain them can promote weight loss and waist loss. 
 After reviewing findings with the Cleveland ClinicDr. Roizen says that your best bet is to have these oils before a meal. "My best estimate and that of the Cleveland Clinic committee were that two tablespoons of these oils first thing in the morning and at the start of every meal works," he says. "All data look similar for weight and waist loss and appetite control using oils and non-cooked foods with these oils in this way, whether safflower, coconut, walnut, fish, olive or macadamia oil." 
Dr. Roizen also recommends using these oils in specific ways. For example, he advises opting for virgin, cold pressed oils and not cooking or heating them. Secondly, he suggests consuming 70 to 140 calories of these fatty foods 25 minutes before a meal to help control appetite. That translates to drizzling one to two teaspoons of a healthy oil on your food or popping 12 walnut halves or eight macadamia nuts.
When taken this way, Dr. Roizen notes there is "strong scientific evidence" that these oils and foods decrease appetite while promoting weight loss. "A little fat-70 to 140 calories worth-before a meal stimulates the release of the hormone cholycystokinin (and other effects) from your early intestinal wall, stimulating your vagus nerve to decrease stomach emptying-so your stomach stays more full so you feel full," he says, "and telling the satiety center in your brain that you are no longer hungry.
 Along with helping you drop extra pounds and those stubborn inches around the belly, thesehealthy oils can lower your risk for cancer, improve long-term memory, decrease inflammation and reduce cholesterol levels and blood pressure. What's more, these good-for-you fats can also make your skin look fantastic by reducing acne, dry skin and premature wrinkles. (Can somebody grab us some walnuts, please?) 
The bottom line: Losing weight and feeling great doesn't have to mean ditching all fats from your diet. So quit depriving yourself and start munching on these eight snacks that contain healthy fats.
Hard-Boiled Omega-3-Enriched Egg
These eggs come from hens fed an omega-3 enriched diet, typically from flaxseeds. You can find omega-rich eggs at most grocery stores. Simply boil a small batch and enjoy one for a satisfying snack.
Trail Mix
 Make your own healthy-fats trail mix by combining walnuts with dried fruit like raisins, cranberries and apricots. Walnuts are comprised of 15 percent protein, 15 percent carbs and 65 percent healthy oils. They also have an ideal ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for your body. 
Flaxseeds Sprinkled On Salad
 Just 2 tablespoons of flaxseeds contain nearly 200 percent of your recommended daily value ofomega-3 fatty acids. Bonus: Make your own olive-oil salad dressing by combining 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon agave nectar, 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard and sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. 
Macadamia Nuts, On Non-fat or Greek Yogurt
 A whopping 83 percent of fats found in macadamia nuts are the "good fats," making this one of Dr. Roizen's favorites for getting a dose of healthy fats. Add 1/4 cup of these nuts to your favorite yogurt and top with fresh berries for an extra healthy punch. 
Mini bruschetta
Take a slice of whole wheat toast, brush it with 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil and top with diced tomatoes and diced olives. You'll get a dose of healthy fats from both the olive oil and the olives (three-quarters of the fat found in olives is from "good" fats). Plus, olives are a great source of iron.
Handful of Almonds
For a quick, on-the-go snack, there's nothing easier than grabbing a bunch of almonds. Not only are they satisfying and chock-full of healthy fats and vitamin E, but 23 almonds only has 162 calories. The nuts are also packed with alpha-linolenic acid, which revs your body's fat-burning ability.
Greek Guacamole
 Puree an avocado, add chopped olives and tomatoes, sprinkle with feta cheese and you have a healthy guacamole that you can serve on whole-wheat pita slices. Avocados are one of the few fruits that provide "good" fats, with 3 grams of monounsaturated fat and 0.5 grams ofpolyunsaturated fat per ounce. 
Tropical Green Smoothie
 In a blender, combine 2 cups fresh almond milk, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, 1 tablespoon raw cacao powder, 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves and 1/2 cup ice cubes. Blend until smooth and garnish with shredded coconut. Serves 2. Coconut oil is a healthy fat, according to Dr. Roizen, and spinach is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, so you get two doses of healthy fats in one delicious serving.

5 Good Reasons to Buy Frozen Fruits & Veggies

They’re mature – in a good way!





The minute a fruit or veggie is picked, it begins to lose nutrients, so exactly when it’s plucked, and how long after harvesting you eat it impacts its nutritional value. Because most frozen fruits and veggies are frozen shortly after they’re harvested, they’re allowed to fully ripen, which means they’re chock full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and freezing “locks in” many of their nutrients. On the flip side, much of the fresh produce in your supermarket was reaped over 1,500 miles away, and had to travel by truck to get there. As a result, it may have been harvested before it reached its nutritional peak, then artificially ripened during transport.


They’re just as nutritious (or even more so) than fresh



The differences above may be why frozen produce has been shown to be just as nutrient-rich, or even superior to fresh, a fact supported by two new independent studies. Scientists from Leatherhead Food Research and University of Chester, carried out 40 tests to measure nutrient levels in produce that had been sitting in a fridge for three days, compared to frozen equivalents. They found more beneficial nutrients overall in the frozen samples, in everything from broccoli to blueberries. In fact, in two out of three cases, frozen fruits and veggies packed higher levels of antioxidants, including polyphenols, anthocyanins, lutein, and beta-carotene. This conclusion supports previous research, which found that freezing produce does not destroy its nutrients. In one report, the vitamin C content in fresh broccoli plummet by more than 50% with a week, but dipped by just 10% over an entire year when frozen.


They’re additive-free



Because freezing preserves food, no unwanted additives are needed in bags of frozen goodies, like spinach and strawberries. In addition, “naked” produce (e.g. no added salt or sugar) is the norm, so it’s incredibly easy to find fruits and veggies with single word ingredient lists–simply the fruit or veggie itself. To be sure, always check the ingredients, but I bet you’ll find at least a dozen varieties in the freezer aisle with absolutely nothing added


They’re super healthy shortcuts




I frequently visit my local farmers markets, and I’m a huge fan of fresh, in-season produce. But to be honest, after a long day, I sometimes look at my bounty, sigh, and think, “Ugh, I wish it would magically prep itself.” One of my favorite things about keeping frozen options on hand is that they don’t require any washing, peeling, or chopping. And for many of my clients, that benefit is the sole reason veggies wind up on their plates. One study found that working women spend, on average, less than one hour a day preparing, serving, eating, and cleaning up after meals. That’s not under an hour for each meal – it’s less than one hour for all daily meals! Because frozen produce is prep-free, reaching for it can save you a ton of time, allowing you to make healthy dishes at home, rather than opting for takeout.

They’re versatile



I keep my freezer stocked with a spectrum of frozen fruits and veggies, and use them in a variety of ways. In addition to adding frozen fruit to smoothies, I thaw or warm it as a topping for oatmeal, or whole grain toast spread with almond butter. Frozen veggies are my chief ingredient in stir fry dishes, but I also love to sauté them in extra virgin olive oil with garlic and herbs, toss with a little quinoa or brown rice pasta, and top with a lean protein. For a quick and easy side dish, I keep jars of all natural, vegan pesto and tapenade, to toss with steamed frozen veggies. Some of my favorite combos are: broccoli with sundried tomato pesto; spinach with roasted red pepper pesto; and French cut green beans with green and black olive tapenade. Simple, delicious, and ready in a jiffy.
