The One-Minute Cure Therapy


I just came across this website that
talks about a one-minute cure for
virtually all diseases. My first
reaction was, "Yeah right!" Sounds
too good to be true -- but wait till
you read what it's all about.

The info gives lots of *proof* that it's
the real deal -- I'm convinced!

This one-minute cure is an awesome therapy
that most people will never know because
powerful enterprises, cartels and agencies
whose financial interests are threatened by
it are keeping this info from reaching
the general public.

But today, you'll find out how to use this
astonishing cure to heal yourself and your
loved ones of disease -- and *prevent* yourself from getting any disease as well.

Let me know what you think.

Here's a great seasonal pumpkin bread pudding that will fill your kitchen with a wonderful aroma. We like ours with raisins, but feel free to use dried cranberries. One of our favorite ways of eating this pudding is with a drizzle of good-quality maple syrup, which is why this dessert would also make a pretty good brunch dish.
Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

1 10.5 ounce day-old ounce baguette
2 cups fat-free half and half
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup pure pumpkin
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp cloves
3/4 cup raisins (or dried cranberries)
Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 11 X 7 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Cut baguette into 1 inch slices, then into cubes. Place in a large bowl and cover with the half and half, tossing the bread cubes to allow the liquid to soak in.

In a medium bowl, combine beaten eggs, brown sugar, pumpkin, vanilla and spices. Add to bread mixture with raisins and blend well.

Pour into baking dish and bake for 40-45 minutes.

Serves 8.

The best cardio to burn visceral fat

Q. What is the best cardio for burning visceral fat? ( from shelly)

A. Visceral fat is fat that is deep inside the abdomen, around the organs. Visceral fat, unfortunately, is nowadays thought to be much more significant for disease risk than subcutaneous fat. Scientist have linked visceral fat to metabolic diseases like diabetes. For women, a waist size of more than 35 inches signals potential trouble.

What about liposuction to get rid of it? Actually, The New England Journal of Medicine did a study in 2004 about removing the viseral fat in women and they found out even though large amounts were removed it there were no health benefits--no changes in cholesterol, blood pressure or other risk factors for heart disease.

That is why it is crucial to be proactive and do something about it right now before it's too late.

How you get rid of it?

Eating fat-burning foods, which include lean proteins, fibrous carbohydrates, and whole grains.

Another thing you can do is decrease the saturated fats (think butter and high fatty foods) You also want to take your EFA's (essential fatty acids) this will help in get rid of viseral fat (think fish oil and flaxseed oil).

Also, weight training will help your body to build more lean muscle. Make sure your workouts are fat-burning, don't make the mistake of just going through the motions during your workout, otherwise you will never get rid of the viseral fat.

What about walking?

Walking isn't really going to do much to stimulate major fat loss,especially the viseral fat. You need to do interval cardio, if your serious about improving your health and looking better. I've seen too many women just focusing on walking and not even paying attention to the resistance training. Remember the more lean muscle you have, the leaner you will be.

The best cardio to burn visceral fat is...

Interval cardio. An easy example of this is doing a 30 second interval of intense speed of either running, elptical, or other cardio machine. Then after 30 seconds do 1-2 minutes at a moderate pace then repeat. The duration can vary for your interval workout can vary anywhere from 20-60 minutes. In my 6 Week Fat Burning & Mind Empowering System I give you several programs to chose from that work for fast results.

If your not eating enough to support your lean muscle it will be hard to get rid of the viseral fat as well. Most women who get stuck and reach what they call a plateau are guilty of this.

How to stay fit in your 50's

Q. Will this work for women over 50? (from Karen)

A. Absolutely! I have worked with many women over 50 in achieving their ideal body. You need to first believe in yourself and forget what most women say when they are in their 50's such as....

"At my age I just can't seem to lose weight"

"It's too hard at my age"

"I've tried everything and nothing works at my age"

These simply beliefs so if you chose to believe in them then that is exactly what you will experience. You need to only believe that you can achieve your ideal body even in your 50's.

This takes the right plan, patience, and perseverance. I find that women in their 50's are not as active then they were in their 30's so make sure that you are getting in sufficient amount of weight training and cardio sessions in during the week. For starters you can start out with 3x week of full body workouts and 3 cardio sessions.

You may find that you need to supplement with more calcium, add more protein to your daily intake, and increase your EFA's. Make sure your eating enough high quality calories so that you can build lean muscle and burn body fat.

The most important secret to staying fit in your 50's is programming your mind for success. You are not your age. So think young and you will see and feel the results.

Have a great week!

How to tone up flabby areas where I had muscle but have not worked out regular as in the past

Q. How to tone up flabby areas where I had muscle but have not worked out regular as in the past? (from Linda)

A. If you have what you call flabby areas that still have muscle, actually it means that you have extra body fat or have lost some muscle. The only way to truly determine that is to do a body fat test.

In order to tone up any flabby area you simply need to reduce your body fat. Many women like to make it more complicated then it really is. Your muscle does have memory so once you start training with weights again and adjusting your nutrition program you will find the flabby areas tightening up in just a few short weeks.

My rule of thumb is if you haven't seen any changes within at least 4 weeks, then change your program.


Have a great week!

How Do I Stick With My Program?

Q. How do I follow through to stay on my nutrition and exercise program?
(from Uma)

A. If you find yourself not being able to stick with a routine when it comes to your nutrition and exercise program then you are not giving yourself a big enough reason. What I mean by this is you need to give yourself a big reason as to why you want to either stay on your program or get to your goal.

Ask yourself these questions:

How will staying on my program improve the other areas of my life?
Am I doing this as part of a lifestyle or a quick fix diet?
Am I taking daily inspired action every day?
Do I make excuses for missing a workout?
What is happening in my life that is taking me out of the flow?

Asking yourself these questions will help you to understand that there is more to this than you think.

Q. How to target and remove lower abdominal fat/belly fat
(from Carmen)

A. You can't target lower belly fat. However, you can eat and exercise to make sure that you are burning it off. If you have lower belly fat that seems impossible to burn off. Here are the most important things to consider:

1. Check to see what your total calorie intake is. You can do this by creating a free account on fitday.com. Many times you are could be either overeating or under-eating.

2. Add more intensity to your workouts by doing body weight exercises. I have included these routines in my 6 week fat burning system. These exercises will give you maximum fat burning results.

3. Stick with natural unprocessed foods. Foods that have additives can definitely make a difference.
