5 Reasons to Try a Protein Shake

The concept of drinking a Protein Shake may have you conjuring up images of big, overly built body builders, with their muscles and veins popping in every direction as they chug some goopy, raw egg mixture. Protein shakes, however, have come a long way in the last five to ten years and can be a great supplement to any individual’s diet, even those who aren’t looking to ‘beef up’. Personally, I have become a huge fan of Whey Protein, and have a Whey Protein shake every morning after I exercise. Granted, it is always better to eat ‘real’ foods as opposed to shakes, but here are a few good reasons to give them a try:

5 Steps to Self-Love

I’m not quite sure why it is so difficult to ‘love thyself,’ the number one commandment of Our Lady of Weight Loss’ 10 Commandments of Permanent Fat Removal (a.k.a. weight loss) but apparently – it is!

If you were to ask me, “Janice … What’s the best part of losing weight?” (Go ahead, ask …) I would tell you with certainty that the big prize of permanent weight removal is that at the end of the day there is no beating up of self. I love myself. (In a grounded, non-narcissistic way.)

As a flower needs watering, so does ‘self-love.’

~ Janice Taylor, the voice of Our Lady of Weight Loss

How can you begin to water your ‘self-love’ today???

How to Avoid Getting Sick at The Gym

The other day I was completely grossed out and horrified when some rude, sneezing, snarfing, and sick person was working out next to me. (Makes no sense, because we’re working out to feel good and get fit/healthy right)? With all the people, sweat, and warmth, gyms are the ideal breeding ground for bacteria and viruses. Here are a few ways to protect yourself and avoid getting sick from nasty germs (and people) at the gym.

Stay home if you’re sick. Do you want to catch a cold from a sick person at the gym? Of course not! And other people don’t want to pick up your sick germs either. If you are have a fever, are sneezing, and/or coughing, you are contagious. Stay home. If you have a cold, give yourself a chance to rest and recover and return to the gym when you are feeling better. If you do feel up to working out, try exercising at home or outdoors instead where you won’t infect others.

About Diet

All of us have grown familiar with the promises that come with fast weight loss. However, you need to discuss this first with your doctor. It is because these diets are often unhealthy when in fact you still need to maintain a well balanced diet in any weight loss program. In every weight gained or weight lost, calorie equation plays a vital role. For instance, you may keep your weight constant if you take only calories you can burn in a day. Yet if you take a lot more calories than you can burn in a day, the extra calories will be stored in your body causing you to gain weight.

When you hear the word “diet”, what usually comes to mind is a meal composing of lettuce and cottage cheese. According to dictionaries, “diet” is a prescribed selection of food that a person consumes in a day. When you adhere to a diet with so many restrictions as to the amount and type of food you eat, it is often unsuccessful. With this type of diet, you are more likely to binge on the restricted foods and cause yourself to gain more weight. So you should change the kind and quantity of food you eat everyday and stick to this change permanently. It is necessary to remember your favorite and most hated food in making your diet and include sufficient amount of calories and nutrients for your health.

A Look at Exercise Stretching Walking

When looking at using walking as exercise, the only person who probably wouldn’t really benefit from walking would be someone who was already very fit. In fact you only need to walk for as little as 30 minutes every day to start seeing health benefits. If you have been walking fast, walk slowly or stretch for a few minutes to cool down.

Try walking in different settings, alternating walking with dance on different days, and of course including a partner can be much more interesting than going at it alone. If you are someone who attends the gym regularly, there are machines which give you the opportunity to walk or run on them which can be an efficient use of exercise time.
