30 tips in 30 days. Get better health, and see better results.
Inflammation of the body is caused as a result of some kind of stress experienced by the body. This stress can be related to diet, lifestyle, or environment. Dr. A Habits of Health(a book I recommend to everyone who wants to lose weight) devoted a full chapter of this subject.
Study show that Vitamin C, a powerful vitamin, can help put out the fire of inflammation. It can also help with some cancers, and heart disease.
I also recommend fresh air and sun light. You only need about 10- to 20-minutes a day. If you have fair skin, put on some sunscreen and a hat. Spending a few minutes in the sun light will promote Vitamin D, which also helps promote good health.
Be sure to drink plenty of water, and get your Vitamin C.

I heard about this and I thought it was so funny. I had to give this a try.
When you’re driving in your car, you can tighten your abs, by changing the angle of your rearview mirror – higher. You have to sit up straighter to see out. It’s supposed to improve your abs.
I adjusted my mirror and took off down the road. At some point, I went to check the cars behind me and ended up looking at the roof of my inside of my car. It took me a second for this to register and by then I was laughing and realized – it worked.
It made me sit up a little straighter, tighten my stomach muscles, and add a little bit extra ump to my core strengthening.
Give it a try and drive safely.

It’s a lot healthier to eat at home, when you prepare the meals. You’ll save money and calories.
When you order in a restaurant you may be getting more calories than you asked for. Cooks were taught that butter is flavor. You’ll need to make sure they don’t put a butter or oil finish on your food.
For most of us, too much butter is something we carry on our hips and tummy’s.
Be careful when you order out.

I want talk about how we can trick our brains with better choices and feel completely satisfied.
Do you have to have beer and hot dog at a baseball game?
Do you order a large popcorn when you go to the movies, and keep it most of it to yourself?
Drink beer at a barbeque and eat heaps of potato salad?
How about a giant piece of cake at a wedding, baby shower, or a birthday party?
You can still go out, have fun, and gather with your friends, but you may need to rethink your choices if your goal is to lose weight and be healthier.
Try these 3-tips:
Take a 100 calorie bag of popcorn to the movies.
Get some light beer and take it with you to the BBQ.
Instead of having a giant mondo size piece of cake how about just a bit or two?
Try my 2 tablespoon rule.
Take a bite, if you absolutely have to indulge in it. Now chew… 5 or 6 chews, for at least 10 or so seconds, before you let it go down.
Have a sip of water.
Still want more. Okay – have another bite. Chew. 5 or 6 chews for at least 10 seconds.
Have a sip of water
Your taste buds by now are happy. Mentally you don’t feel deprived. More than likely you weren’t starving so you can stop. And the best part is you limited the calories to 2-Tablespoons.
If your goal is to be healthy and lose weight ask yourself: What would a healthy person do? Watch them and I bet you’ll see that they take 2 or 3 bites, and they’re done, and so can you.
Push away from whatever it is that’s calling your name, you’ll save calories, and you’ll really feel like you had a huge success and control over those guilty pleasures.

So many times, we fall into the trap that we’re good all week long, and now we want to reward ourselves with something. And boom – we splurge on the weekend. Whether it’s an adult beverage, or something chocolaty and indulgent… we take the plunge.
The problem with being good all week and then bad on the weekends is as-soon-as Monday hits, you feel guilty that you messed up all those great days. So what happens is is you’re in a vicious cycle.
Get out of your own bad habits of rewarding yourself Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday, with food. Because what you’re doing is you’re setting yourself up for long-term failure.
This weekend instead of indulging in food, do an activity. Grab your kids, grab your significant other, put the dog on a leash, and go for a walk. Take the family for a fun day. What you really want is long-term success. Don’t let those few hours on the weekend mess up all your good work.

Did you know that vitamins can help you shed some weight? It’s true.
According to the British Journal of Nutrition, they studied some overweight women and found that if they added 13mg of calcium as a vitamin to their diet every day, they lost 13 more pounds in 15 weeks, than women who were taking a placebo.
The calcium helps you feel fuller, so you don’t overeat. So think about adding vitamins and some calcium to your daily diet regime.

The very first thing I recommend to my weight loss clients is as soon their feet hit the floor, the clock starts. You must kick in your metabolism. Within an hour of waking up – have breakfast.
You wouldn’t drive your car on empty and expect to get very far. So how can you expect your body to perform at its best unless you fuel up?
The right mind set, and lots of baby steps are the keys to any long-term success in life, and in weight loss. As you’re eating better, changing your diet, and modify your family’s diet, take it a day at a time. Go easy. Take baby steps, and start your day with a healthy breakfast, kick-start your metabolism. It’s the best way to start your day.

We just talked about that 9 inch blue plate.
Here is a guideline for keeping portions in a good balance:
Fill half (50%) of your plate with vegetables.
A quarter (25%) with your healthy starches.
A quarter (25%) with your lean portion. *
Don’t forget to use a healthy fat, and to drink your water
*Rule of thumb. If you don’t have access to a food scale compare your protein serving with the palm of your hand which should come out to about a 4 ounce serving.

My dad always used to say, “Baby, your eyes are bigger than your stomach.” He was right. Now I know better, and how to train my brain.
Here’s a great tip, to trick your brain: use a blue plate.
It’s true. The color blue will help trick your brain to not want to sit and linger. You’ll eat less.
Ever wondered my so many fast food places use warm colors like: red, brown, orange, gold and tan? Comfort colors go hand in hand with quick and easy comfort foods. They want you to order more and hope your eyes are bigger than your stomach.
Your new blue plate will help you to think and feel satisfied, so you won’t go back for seconds.
Next, choose a 9 inch plate instead of the 10 or 12 or 16 inch plate. These giant, platter size plates just make you want to fill them up, and eat more than you need.
So go blue. Train your brain. Shrink your plate, and shrink your waist.
