Keeping the faith

Many of you know that I started a healthy living lifestyle change in January. I struggle with my weight in large part due to a non functioning thyroid, I had cancer and radiation in 1999. Ever since then I have battled my weight. Prior to that, I would go through childbirth and always drop back down to a healthy weight within a few months. I was hesitant to share because I wondered if this would work for me. I am using Arbonne's Fit Essential products and led a group here in Boise through a detox and elimination plan where we identified foods we were allergic to etc. I want to share with you some of the thoughts that are running through my mind today because there are many. My weight loss has been very slow. In fact, in the last 4 weeks, I haven't lost much, 2 or 3 pounds. What did happen in the last 4 weeks was that I dropped 5% body fat and 13 inches!!!! It would be so easy to quit when the scale wasn't moving and normally that is what I would do. I would figure that I ma...

What to eat and not eat

Paleoithic Food Pyramid The most common questions we get on the first 30 days of the Simply Fit program have to do with what to eat. The first 30 days is the most stringent and it is to help us shed and eliminate toxins. Toxins are stored in our body fat, so once we shed the toxins, it is easier to shed the fat, especially around the middle of our body. All high allergen foods are removed and will slowly be added back in. It is important to figure out any food sensitivities that we might have so that we can eliminate them and function at a more optimal level of health. This is what we are doing for the first 30 days and people are having great results. I know, most people panic about all the things they can't have, but it is only for 30 days. Also, the benefits are so worth while. You will have a great amount of increased energy and mental clarity. I personally have no desire for coffee anymore and that was huge for me, I was drinking so much and now I don't need it at all. You...

Simply Fit Week 6

Simply Fit week 6: Last night we had our 6 week meeting for the Simply Fit hub in Boise. It is kind of nice that at the chiropractic office, we have a machine that measures the toxins in our bodies, our healthy cells, fat content, internal health etc. What I love is that the evidence is so tangible. At this 6 week mark, most everybody has a marked improvement in their internal health age, much less toxic, more healthier cells and a higher ratio of muscle mass. One man has lost 6% body fat in just 6 weeks! As a group, the average weight loss is 10 pounds! It was quite exciting. I was worried about one woman who has never missed a meeting, but her numbers had not improved. I expressed my concern to her and she just smiled and said that she had decided to try NOT using Arbonne's products and just eating the foods on the allowed list. This was great information to learn because it so tangibly showed how Arbonne's products enhance the weight loss, the shedding of toxins and the...
