Hello Friends,
We just arrived back from a Carnival
Cruise from spring break. Okay, okay, I did
REALLY well with my plan for the first three days - lots
of fresh fruit, salads, soups and vegetables. But
then came "Lobster Night". I ordered sliced lemons
to use as an accompaniment, but they never came.
Staring at my little dish of melted butter, I took my
first dip. The floodgates for the rest of cruise
were opened - wine with dinner, rolls and butter every
night, warm chocolate melting cake, martinis and a 24
hour pizzeria - Mama Mia! (Needless to say I'm on
the detox vegetable soup diet this week).
Temptation is inevitable but I have learned not to beat
myself up if I slip up. Today is a new day and a
new chance to make better choices. Right?
Plus - Are you a carbohydrate
addict? Take the quiz and find out!
Also - thanks to all of you who participated in the
Nutritional Analysis last month. I really enjoyed
getting to know you a little better and I look forward
to continued communication as we head through this
health journey together.

Are You a Carbohydrate
Addict?
Give yourself one point
for each question that is true:
1) After a full
breakfast, do you get hungry before it's time for
lunch?
2) Do you have a
difficult time stopping, once you start to eat starches,
snack foods, junk foods or sweets?
3) Do you sometimes feel
unsatisfied even though you have just finished a
meal?
4) Does the sight, smell,
or even the thought of food, sometimes stimulate you to
eat?
5) Do you sometimes eat,
even though you are not really hungry?
6) Are you sometimes
unable to keep from snacking at night?
7) After a large meal, do
you feel sluggish, almost drugged?
8) Do you get
unexplainably tired and/or hungry in the
afternoon?
9) Have you at times
continued eating even though you felt uncomfortably
full?
10) Have you been on diet
after diet only to lose weight and then regain it
again?
0-2: You
do not appear to be carbohydrate addicted.
3-4: You
appear to have a mild carbohydrate addiction which, at
times you may be able to control (although not always)
and with some difficulty.
5-7:
Your score indicates that you are moderately addicted to
carbohydrates. At times, you may be able to
control your eating, but may find that stress,
premenstrual changes, tiredness, boredom, unexpressed
anger or pressure may increase your carb
cravings.
8-10:
You have scored in the severe carbohydrate addiction
range. You may be struggling to control your
eating without realizing that your body has been
fighting you, literally driving you to eat and the
storing the excess food energy as fat.

*Personal Nutrition Program -
NEW!
No two people are alike - that's why a
personalized nutrition program will bring you the
results you're looking for. Whether it's to feel better,
lose weight, build muscle, or maintain your health, this
program is designed for you. In Phase 1, we start with
an in-depth Nutritional Analysis to determine your
current dietary intake, health issues, medicine routine,
exercise regimen, and daily stresses. In addition, we do
a comprehensive Food Allergy/Cravings/Likes/Dislikes
Survey to get a better idea of how to zero in on what
your body needs. All of this data is assessed and
followed up with a comprehensive plan tailor-made for
you.
The result of this phase then
takes you to Phase 2. The second phase consists of
Weight and Measurement Progress Charting, Personalized
Supplement Plan, Personalized Daily Nutrition Plan, Food
Tracking Logs and Email/Internet Correspondence all
packaged in your own personalized program binder. Phase
2 is a four week structured plan that can be renewed
monthly to keep you on track. In addition, your program
includes unlimited email support. The initial program is
$165. Each 4 week renewal program is $75 and will
continue for as long as you require. It's like having
your very own Nutritional Counselor at every turn. So go
ahead and invest in yourself - feeling better is just one click
away!

Vitamin C - Why We Need
It!
I'm sure you heard your mother
say "drink your orange juice". That's because
Vitamin C is critical for the immune system. Since
we don't manufacture it ourselves, we need to obtain
Vitamin C from outside sources. The Recommended
Daily Allowance is 250 mg but this amount was determined
to be just adequate enough to keep away scurvy.
Many dieticians and nutritionists recommend a supplement
of 1000 to 2000 mg per day of added Vitamin C.
- Vitamin C is essential for
collagen production that holds together skin, bones,
teeth, blood vessels, cartilage, tendons and
ligaments. That's why when you get a cut or a
burn, Vitamin C helps your body to produce the
collagen to repair the tissue more quickly.
- Vitamin C's antioxidant role
can fight free radicals by preventing lipid
peroxidation which in turn fights toxins, pollution,
and cell mutations/damage (i.e. cancer).
- Vitamin C is one of the most
powerful free-radicals to prevent damage that
contributes to aging and age-related diseases.
- Vitamin C can also be used to
reduce the symptoms of asthma and
allergies.
Vitamin C is water soluble and
easily eliminated from the body. Taking it several
times a day is helpful. So go ahead and stock up
on Vitamin C - it is truly one of your best
supplements! (Vitamin C can be taken as chewable
tablet, gel tab, powder citrate and liquid
form).
