Wonder Foods?
Hi There Buddies...
I just have one thing to say about the weather...it's
warmer in Alaska !!! Brrrrrr !!!
Many of us who didn't have weight issues when we were
younger and could basically eat whatever was placed in
front of us without having to carefully watch the calorie
count or whether foods contained too many carbohydrates or
fat, are probably wondering what happened to the good old
days we thought would never end? Yup, that's right, we
hit middle age! And now it seems that just looking at food
might just add a few inches in places we'd give up our
first born to avoid. Just Kidding!
It appears the more numbers we add to our age, the more
numbers we're fighting on our scales also, making
us not such healthy happy campers anymore. Not only have
we added more pounds to our once thinner frames, but our
metabolism seems to have headed south as well.
This mid-life crisis some of us are approaching is likely
adding more weight than we care to walk around with, but
still haven't quite figured out a way to stop, short of
just starving ourselves. It does at times seem that being
thin is just a memory from the past.
Most likely by now we've tried many different diets and
many different exercise routines only to find we're still
attached to these stubborn pounds. Is there anything out
there that doesn't require constant calorie counting and
hours of exercise in order to lose weight?
Let's look at what Dr. Lark from Looking Good Now Magazine
has to say...
------------------------------------------------------------
Get Out & Walk... You'll Be Glad You Did!
One of the easiest and best forms of exercise is walking.
But did you know there are certain things to do when
walking that will help you achieve better health?

in front of your television into a fat burning, body
shaping, health improvement walking track.
The "Older Adults Walk & Firm" DVD is even more effective
than an outdoor or treadmill walk. You'll perform a
combination of simple walking based steps and proven
firming exercises, that will keep your muscles strong,
boost your metabolism and increase your energy. And
we've discounted the price to get you started. Pick-up
this DVD for just $9.99. Get more info or order at:

Dr. Lark has designed a plan for us that not only flushes
that dreaded fat, but also improves our metabolism and
health instantly. Dr. Lark has discovered that certain
foods help boost your metabolism and flush away "false
fat."
"After years of clinical practice treating thousands of
patients, I've learned that for many women, weight gain is
related to the accumulation of fat as well as what I, among
others, call "false fat," she tells Looking Good Now!
"False fat is the accumulation of fluid that causes
swelling and bloating."
Dr. Lark has developed three simple steps to reduce false
fat and rev up your metabolism at the same time. Her unique
and effective way to banish the over-40 bulge will not only
help you shed pounds but also help control menopausal mood
swings.
When we're feeling anxious or depressed we're more likely
to make incorrect food choices," she says. Here is her
plan:
1 - Flush False Fat By Banishing Wheat!
One of the most common food allergies and the one most
likely to cause false fat in many women is wheat. Wheat
contains a protein called gluten, which is difficult for
the body to break down and digest, says Dr. Lark. Wheat
allergies can trigger fatigue, depression, bloating and
intestinal gas.
Try substituting breads made with rice, millet, soy or
oats. Check labels on crackers and look for those made with
rice or potatoes. Millet flour or rice flour are suitable
alternatives that you can find in health food stores or in
the healthy foods ailse in your supermaket. This one
simple step may be the only trick you need to help you
digest food more easily instead of letting it sit in your
gut and destroy your digestive system and your waistline!
The best news is that you don't have to count calories or
run a marathon to get slimmer and trimmer - you just need
to eliminate one food that can trigger inflammation and
cause false fat.
2 - Control Your Appetite With Flaxseed!
There's a safe and very healthy way to curb insatiable
cravings, says Dr. Lark, a longtime advocate of the health
benefits of flaxseed. She explains that it's the ideal
food for women's weight loss because it contains healthy,
appetite suppressing fat along with the bulk of fiber to
help make you feel full longer. Flaxseed is chock-full of
omega-3 fatty acids (the heart healthy kind) and fiber.
According to Dr. Lark, it packs a one-two punch. "I'm such
a fan of flaxseed that if I were stranded on an island and
had to choose one food to survive on, I'd choose flaxseed,"
she says. "The essential oils in flaxseed are great for
the heart, health, appetite control, and do wonders for
your skin.

"Fat plays an important role in weight loss," she says.
"It provides slow-burning calories for energy and to stay
satisfied for longer periods of time. It also helps
maintain normal brain function which may improve your
emotional well-being - a big plus when trying to lose
weight."
Fiber is essential when trying to shed pounds. It increases
bulk and helps reduce appetite. Fiber is digested slowly in
the body, releasing just enough carbohydrates into the
blood stream to keep your energy level consistently high.
Of course, getting enough fiber also helps digestion and
supports good colon function so that you eliminate wastes
that are released during weight loss. Dr. Lark adds that
this flushing mechanism is especially important for women
because it removes excess fluids and estrogen, a hormone
linked to fatty deposits.
For those not familiar with these inexpensive but powerful
potent seeds, they resemble small sesame seeds and are
available in supermarkets and health food stores. Dr. Lark
advises buying flaxseed that has been milled or ground to
reap it's benefits.
Start slowly, beginning with one tablespoon daily and work
up to a tolerable amount for your body. Two to four
tablespoons sprinkled daily over cereal, yogurt, pasta or
in shakes, is your goal.
3 - Rev Up Your Metabolism!
Once you've flushed out the false fats, it's time to burn
fat and calories more efficiently. The secret ingredient
in this step is green tea. This powerful disease fighter
is rich in antioxidants and can also help you peel off
unwanted pounds. "Green tea contains compounds called
catechins," Dr. Lark says. These catechins protect special
brain chemicals - which include dopamine, norepinephrine
and epinephrine - the more efficiently you'll burn
calories."
Drink at least three 8-ounce cups of green tea daily to
reap the greatest benefits, says Dr. Lark. If you don't
drink tea, you can take 300 milligrams to 400 milligrams
of green tea extract, which contains caffeine, or 100
milligrams of green tea catechins that do not.
These three simple steps can help you beat the battle of
the over-40 bulge," says Dr. Lark. "The added benefits of
their healthful properties will make you feel as good as
you look."
