Why do I get up between 1-3 in the early morning?

POV: you’re waking up between 1-3 in the morning AGAIN. Why do I wake up between 1-3 in the morning?

 

Watch this week’s YouTube video

 

I hear this question all the time from my clients, and it’s something I struggled with myself – Why do I wake up between 1-3 in the morning every night? 

 

 

When we enter our late 30s to mid-’40s, a lot of things change with our bodies (am I right?), especially as far as our hormones and ability to deal with stress. 

 

A lot of times, you’re waking up in the middle of the night because of ~ low blood sugar ~ 

 

See, your brain needs glucose to work. When you have low blood sugar, your brain signals your adrenal glands to produce cortisol >>aka the STRESS hormone<<

 

Cortisol raises glucose levels which is great, but it’s also why you have anxiety and energy almost to the point where you can get up and start your day at like three in the morning.  

 

NOT great. 

 

To help a girl out, here are a few of my favorite bedtime snacks to stabilize your blood sugar: 

 

A glass of whole milk (cold/warm) with honey and a dash of sea salt

Full-fat vanilla ice cream with a sprinkle of salt 

An apple of pear with full-fat cheddar cheese 

A small bowl of ground beef and lentils with a dash of barbecue sauce 

Peanut butter and banana smoothie w/ protein powder 

Smoked salmon on a whole-grain cracker 

 

I talk more about this on Youtube, so be sure to check out the full video and save this post so you don’t forget these sleepy-time snack ideas!

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I stop my appetite?

Eat small, frequent meals throughout your day to reduce hunger pangs. This will help you keep your blood sugar levels stable and decrease hunger pangs.

It may turn out that drinking lots of water or taking herbal supplements such as bitter melon, ginseng or ginseng is better than relying solely on food.

Avoid foods high in carbs like bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, as they can give you a short boost that then leads to a crash.

Choose protein-rich foods like lean meats and fish, eggs, legumes, and nuts. These foods will provide you with sustained energy and help maintain your blood sugar level.

Avoid sugary snacks such as cakes, chocolate bars, cookies, juice, and doughnuts. These can stimulate cravings and cause you to feel bloated.

You should instead choose healthier options, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, salads, whole grain cereals, or whole grains.

So if you're trying to lose weight, then don't rely on fad diets or miracle supplements.

What is African Mango Extract?

Vitamin C in this product is high, which boosts immunity. It is great for people who have the flu or are at risk of getting sick.

The antioxidants found in African mango extract help to reduce free radicals. This reduces the likelihood of developing heart disease and cancer.

Vitamin A and vitamin B6, both found in African mango, are important for healthy hair and skin.

African Mango active ingredients offer a highly effective supplement that will keep a person looking great and feeling great.

Natural appetite suppressants can they work?

Eat less food to lose weight naturally. This would be a reduction in calories as well as a reduction in the consumption of high-fat or sugary foods.

Exercising regularly is the best method to lose weight quickly. This will help you to burn all the calories from all the yummy snacks you eat during the day.

Try one of our natural appetite suppressant supplements if you are still having trouble losing weight.

These powerful ingredients include bitter melon green tea, ginger and ginseng. Clinical studies have shown that they can reduce hunger pangs, and other cravings.

What herb melts body fat?

It might not be possible without diet but herbs can help you lose weight. Many people have used herbs for this purpose throughout history. Some of them include; Green tea, Ginko Biloba, Ginger root, Ginseng, Hawthorn berry, Licorice root, Milk Thistle seed, Mullein leaf, Rosemary, St John's Wort, Turmeric, Valerian Root, and Yohimbe bark.

Herbal remedies can be taken orally or applied topically. They have nutrients that increase metabolism. These nutrients help speed up the destruction of glycogen stocks and lipids inside the cell walls. The result is the release of free fatty acids into the bloodstream, which can be burned as fuel.

Many herbs have been proven to improve immunity and prevent disease. This makes them ideal if you don't want drugs or surgery.

Many people are familiar with the benefits of herbs. Some people are unaware of the power and effectiveness of these natural substances. You can find herbs in health food stores, pharmacies, as well as online. Most of the time, one dose will last for weeks.

A good example of an herb that works by increasing the metabolic rate is green tea. Green tea has epigallocatechin gallate, which is a compound that increases the activity in enzymes responsible to breaking down fats. EGCG has also been found to improve glucose tolerance. This means it reduces the risk of diabetes.

Ginger root is another example. Ginger root is a stimulant. It increases metabolism and stimulates digestive tract. In addition, ginger helps the body eliminate toxins from the digestive system.

Other herbs that increase metabolism include ginseng, valerian root, licorice root and mullein leaf.

It is best to consume herbs as teas in most cases. This allows active ingredients to be absorbed quickly and efficiently into the bloodstream. It is important to take herbs internally with medical supervision. If you prefer to take herbs internally, you should apply them directly to the affected areas. They could cause irritation and damage to other areas.

How can you lose weight in just 7 days at home?

Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and a lot of water are all good ideas. It's that simple! It's tempting to skip meals. You will feel hungry later, so skip meals.

Do not starve yourself. Keep track of how many calories are consumed and gradually increase them. For instance, if you usually eat 2,000 calories every day, start by increasing that number by 500 calories per day. You'll add 1,500 calories to you daily routine.

You can find more information online about tips and tricks to lose weight. Google is a good place to start. Just type in "how to lose weight quickly" and you'll see hundreds of results.

You might consider visiting your local library to learn more about the topic. There are usually weekly seminars offered by local libraries where experts discuss various topics related weight loss.

Do smoothie cleanses work?

The important question here is whether or not you are eliminating toxins. If you're not getting rid of toxins, there might be another problem.

Cleansing must eliminate all toxins from your system in order to be effective.

If this isn't happening, you either aren't drinking enough water or haven't been eating properly.

This could also be a sign that you need to decrease your intake of salt or caffeine.

You could also be experiencing other reasons why you are not seeing results.

• Your digestive system isn't functioning correctly. This means that your body doesn't absorb what you take in.
• You don't eat enough protein. Protein helps build muscle tissue.
• You are eating too many carbs. Carbs are stored energy.
• Sugar is too high in your diet. Sugar causes insulin spikes. This slows down your metabolism.
• You're not getting enough fats. Certain vitamins require fats to be absorbed.
• Too few essential fatty acid (EFAs) are being consumed. EFAs have been proven to reduce inflammation.
• You are consuming too little fiber. Fiber absorbs excess cholesterol. It speeds up digestion.
• Insufficient vitamin C is a problem. Collagen production cannot be achieved without Vitamin C. Collagen keeps skin firm and elastic.
• You are not eating enough. Portions should be measured using a standard cup measurer.
• Your alcohol intake is excessive. Drinking alcohol is extremely drying.
• High amounts of caffeine can cause you to be addicted. Too much caffeine can damage the liver.
• Low magnesium levels are a problem. Magnesium is essential for strong bones and healthy muscles.
• You're consuming too little potassium. Potassium is required to maintain fluid balance.

Are there natural options to prescription drugs like phentermine that suppress appetite?

Green tea extract is the best alternative to prescription diet pills for those seeking weight loss. Green tea contains caffeine which stimulates metabolism, and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which helps burn fat by stimulating thermogenesis.

Green tea also has antioxidants that help fight free radicals. They also protect against damage caused from stress and oxidation.

But, green tea does NOT cause weight loss. It simply increases your body's efficiency at burning calories.

So yes, green tea does help with weight loss, but it won't make you lose weight unless you follow a calorie-controlled diet.

L-Carnitine supplementation is also an option. This amino acids increases energy levels and promotes the growth of muscles. The downside is that it doesn't curb your appetite, so you still need to eat regular meals.

Should you take collagen?

I opened up my Instagram account for some questions yesterday and got some great ones about collagen, so I waned to share them with you. One of the big ones was… should you take collagen? 

Should you take collagen?

Collagen is an awesome way to increase your protein intake (it’s so convenient), but there also seems to be a lot of confusion about it. It is definitely one of those wellness buzzwords that’s making the rounds!

But, contrary to the many “magical” supplements on the market that claim to change your life, collagen is one of my tried-and-true staples that I’ve used for years as a way to increase my protein intake and help support healthy skin, hair, nails, and other tissues in my body.

What exactly is collagen?

Collagen is basically the “glue” that holds our body together. It’s a key protein (30% of the proteins in our body are collagen-based) that ensures the flexibility and elasticity of our connective tissue, including skin, bones, and ligaments.

As we age, we naturally begin to produce less collagen, making supplementation important. Some of the side effects of lower collagen production include thinner skin (aka wrinkles), fragile bones, and a general loss of muscle mass.

Why I love collagen

I started taking collagen many years ago, and I am happy to report that I have seen an improvement in the overall appearance of my skin. I look back at photos of myself in my mid-30s and think my skin looks so much better now at 42!

My hair and nails also feel stronger, much healthier, and less prone to breakage. Plus, the extra protein source in my diet doesn’t hurt, especially as someone who lives an active lifestyle and wants to build and maintain muscle!

 

If you’re like me, you’ve spent a lot of time (and money) searching for the best collagen with clean ingredients that won’t destroy your digestion. Sure, I’ve found some that l liked, but didn’t love…

I searched and searched for years before discovering  Paleovalley’s Grass Fed Bone Broth Protein Powder  and now I’m in love! It’s such an easy way to hit my daily goal of 120g of protein per day!

My favorite collagen powder

​

​

I love its simple ingredients (no funny stuff), extra boost of protein, and its healthy dose of supportive collagen for skin, hair, and nails that you can mix into baked goods, your morning (iced) coffee, smoothies, and so much more!

Guys, I literally put it in everything from my morning iced coffee to soups and smoothies to sauces and so much more. It dissolves instantly and does not change the taste or texture of the food.

 

Grass Fed Bone Broth Protein Powder FAQs

What does it taste like?

If you’ve ever had bone broth before you know it can have a mild beef flavor. The Grass Fed Bone Broth Protein has a mild flavor that is virtually imperceptible when added to coffee, a smoothie, or any recipe. It has a slightly nutty flavor that we find quite enjoyable! ​

What is the best way to use it?

I use this product in a number of ways. Add it to hot water and blend, add it to your smoothies for a collagen boost, add it to any recipe that you could add protein to… the possibilities are endless!! ​

Does it mix well in water?

The answer is “yes” but with a little explanation. If you’re familiar with collagen you know those products mix completely in water and are completely unflavored. While that may seem like a good thing the problem is that extreme processing is required. Paleovalley doesn’t use any chemicals or harsh processing. Their bone broth protein will not mix as easy and completely in water as a commercial collagen product. However, in a shaker or blender it mixes wonderfully in both cold or hot water. ​

What makes 100% Grass Fed Bone Broth Protein better than other similar products?

While there are a lot of collagen products on the market there are only a few that are derived from bone broth but Paleovalley’s is different for three main reasons:

1. It is derived from 100% grass fed and finished bones while others are sourced from grain finished cows.
2. It is derived from bones NOT hides. Other collagen products (unless specified otherwise) are derived from the hides of the animal which requires extreme processing. When collagen is sourced from the animal’s skin, we miss out on all of the extra nutrients and restorative benefits of the bones.
3. It is minimally processed. While other collagen products use extreme processing using harsh solvents, acids and other chemicals, we use water, bones and nothing else.

Paleovalley is my favorite company when it comes to natural, whole food sourced supplements, and clean, nutrient dense snack foods. (I also love their Essential C Complex as a wholefood form of vitamin C!)

​

If you need help getting quality sources *actually* into your kitchen, you definitely need to check out the product offerings at Paleovalley.

Frequently Asked Questions

African Mango Extract is Worth Trying

Mangoes have numerous health benefits. They are rich sources of vitamin C, fibers, potassium, iron, and potassium. They also have antioxidants that protect against the formation of free radicals that can cause cancer. These are great benefits that make them a good choice for anyone who wants to improve their health.

Mangoes also have a great taste! This makes it easy to incorporate them into any meal.

For example, you can add fresh mango slices in salads, smoothies (or oatmeal) and yogurt. Frozen mango cubes can be used as toppings on ice cream desserts. You can also use dried mango powder as an alternative to sugar in baking cookies.

You can also add mango extract to your favourite recipes to get all the benefits of mango extract without compromising flavor.

Although it's not well-known, mango extract is made of mango seeds and not actual fruit. This means that it contains all the same nutrients found in whole mangos but doesn't have the sweetness of regular mango.

How can you slim down naturally?

Healthy foods should be eaten as often as possible. When you do have unhealthy snacks, make sure they are low-calorie. Avoid overeating processed foods. Instead, choose whole grains for breakfast such as oatmeal, barley, brown rice, etc. Avoid sugary drinks as they are high-calorie and high in sugar. Watch what you are drinking if you want to lose weight. Aim to consume at least eight glasses per day of water.

Another tip is getting up early. Research shows that people who get up earlier are more likely to eat fewer calories during the day. This can be achieved by setting an alarm to make sure you don't sleep in the mornings.

It is very important to exercise. Aerobic activities such as running, walking, biking and swimming are all good options. burn fat faster than strength training. Consider adding aerobic activity to your life.

Are African Mango Extracts Caffeine-Free

A study was conducted on how much caffeine an average person consumes daily. These results were shocking.

A cup of coffee contains around 100 mg of caffeine, while a small glass of cola contains around 40mg. What if you could drink caffeine with no calories?

Here's African mango extract! It provides the same energy boost as caffeine but without added sugar and calories.

African mango extract also helps increase focus and concentration and improves brain function.

What drink is good for burning belly fat over night?

The best way to lose weight fast is by drinking lots of water. Water helps you burn calories, keeps you fuller longer, and makes it less likely to snack on high-carb foods. Water helps flush toxins out of your body and maintains your skin's youthful appearance.

The easiest thing for most people to do when they're dieting is to skip meals. You'll feel less hungry later on because your metabolism slows. Try eating small, frequent meals instead.

Increase your water intake if you feel the need to snack. Dehydration slows the rate at which your body burns calories while also making you crave sugary drinks. For extra detoxifying benefits, you can add lemon juice to your water.

Water can aid in weight loss. It makes you feel fuller quicker and more satisfied. Studies show that those who consume eight glasses per day of water are more likely to lose weight than those who drink only four cups. Water can help you feel fuller without adding additional calories.

After you wake up, wait around 30 minutes before eating anything. After just 10-15 minutes of awakening, hormones like insulin start to regulate blood sugar levels. These hormone spikes often trigger hunger pangs. By waiting until after this happens, we avoid getting a rush of blood sugar and then crashing afterward.

Take a snack with you to lunch. It is a good idea to eat something between lunch and dinner. This will help you avoid overeating later in your day. Try a piece of fruit or a slice of whole grain toast with peanut butter.

Avoid eating too close to bedtime. Studies have shown that the body processes nutrients more efficiently when it is asleep, so it is easier to stay slim if you go to bed early.

Don't go to bed starving! A light meal should be eaten at least an hour before you go to bed. You might be amazed at how many calories you'll need to get to sleep.

You can add green tea to you daily routine. Catechins are plant compounds that lower inflammation and increase metabolism. Green tea has catechins. According to a study published in The Journal of Nutrition, participants who consumed three cups of green tea per day lost more weight than those who did not. And another study found that men who consumed green tea increased their metabolic rates by 3 percent over 12 weeks.

How to Use African Mango Extract

It's easy to take mango extract. Take a fresh, ripe mango and place the flesh in a blender. Blend until smooth.

If you desire a more fine pulp, you can strain it. Store in a cool dark place.

The pulp can be frozen for future use. This will save you money on buying another batch each mango season.

Avoid caffeine and alcohol. They stimulate the nervous system which can cause increased bowel movements. Your gut may be regenerated by taking probiotics. Probiotic supplements include live cultures of healthy microorganisms such as bacteria that aid digestion.

Butyrate, an essential nutrient in intestinal health, is vital. It stimulates cell growth and provides fuel for immune cells.

Drink ginger tea if you suffer from diarrhea. Ginger contains compounds known as gingerols which inhibit the production and release of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemicals that cause inflammation. Prostaglandin inhibitors decrease inflammation. Ginger has been used to treat arthritis and menstrual cramps as well as nausea and indigestion.

Another way to get rid of insomnia is to drink hot water before bed. Hot water helps increase blood circulation to the skin. It also cools it down and relaxes muscles. This is believed to improve your sleep quality.

Not everyone has to cut down on coffee. Reduce your intake of coffee and other caffeinated beverage. Next, reduce your intake of soda, juice, alcohol. Next, reduce one meal per day until you have a 20 percent reduction in your total calorie consumption.

How do you lose weight without exercising or dieting?

It is best to naturally lose weight by increasing your metabolism. You will burn fat quicker than you store it. Metabolism plays a large role in how much energy we use versus how many calories we burn. The good news is you don't have to exercise to raise your metabolism. To boost your metabolism, there are easy lifestyle changes that you can make right away. These are the best tips!

1. Increase Your Protein Consumption - Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels, and support muscle growth. Research has shown that protein can be eaten before meals to reduce food intake by as much as 20%.
2. Drink more water. Water helps to keep your body hydrated. It makes you feel fuller longer and reduces hunger cravings. Drinking at least eight glasses of water daily can help speed up your metabolism and improve digestion.
3. Cut Back On Sugar - When it comes to losing weight, cutting back on sugar is one of the easiest ways to start burning more calories. Sugary foods increase insulin levels, which makes it harder to lose weight. Avoid sugary sweets and sodas. Instead, drink plenty and eat plenty fruits.
4. Get Enough Sleep – Getting enough sleep is proven to improve brain function and overall well-being, including glucose tolerance. It's also been proven to lower appetite hormones, such as leptin and ghrelin.
5. Cardio Daily - Cardio daily burns more calories during the day. Walking for 30 minutes three days a week is a good way to get started. This will improve your heart health and cardiovascular fitness.
6. Add Some Movement Each Day - Staying active is essential when trying to shed pounds because it gives our bodies a reason to move every day. There are many ways to add movement to your day without going crazy. You can take the stairs rather than the elevator, park farther away from the entrance for shopping, walk around while talking on your phone, take frequent breaks throughout the day to stretch out and breathe deeply.

7 Winter Workout Tips for Cold Weather Exercise

In winter, your daily brisk walk can quickly turn from “feel the burn” to “feel the brrrrr” as temperatures plummet. But don’t let a little cold stop you from doing winter workouts! Cold weather exercises may actually help you lose weight faster.

According to AccuWeather, “Regardless of exercise, studies have shown that being outside in cold weather can transform white fat, specifically belly and thigh fat, into calorie-burning beige or brown fat.” They explain that brown fat burns calories to generate heat and keep you warm. So try to get outside this winter, even just for some fresh air and a brisk walk!

The hardest part of winter workouts is the first few minutes you spend out in the cold. It’s like jumping into an unheated pool in early summer, before the sun has done its magic. You’re cold for a little while but as you move around, you literally get warmed up.

Of course, there are ways to exercise smartly and safely that will make your winter workouts pure enjoyment. Here are seven fitness tips to follow.

1. Wear layers.

You may want to put on that puffy down coat to handle the plunge into the cold, but you’re going to want to leave it by the roadside in short order. Outdoor winter workouts going to generate a lot of heat, so you’ll feel much warmer than the thermometer would have you think. You’re going to sweat and when that sweat evaporates, you’re going to feel colder again, says Mayo Clinic. That’s why they recommend a series of layers that you can easily remove and add will take care of that. Start with a base layer made of polypropylene which will wick sweat away from your body. (Cotton does just the opposite.) Add a jacket that’s made of wool or fleece, then an outer waterproof layer that’s breathable, so you aren’t trapping sweat inside. Experiment to see what combo works best for you.

2. Protect your extremities.

Unfortunately, exercise doesn’t generate much heat for your head, ears, hands or feet. According to Harvard Health Publishing, it’s all concentrated in your core. Mayo Clinic recommends a headband to protect your ears, a hat for your head, gloves for your hands and warm socks for your feet. Think layers for gloves, too. Start with a thin sweat-wicking polypropylene glove covered by wool or fleece gloves or mitten that you can pull off and on. If it’s really cold, wear thermal socks on your feet and consider a ski mask, scarf or balaclava for your face and head.

3. Get colorful.

Consider wearing bright colored outerwear or reflective gear. It’s not only cold in the winter, it can be pretty dark. You want motorists, cyclists and winter sports enthusiasts on the same trail to be able to see you.

4. Apply sunscreen.

It’s not just to protect you from the hot rays of summer sun. The winter sun can burn you too, particularly if there’s snow on the ground which reflects the sun’s UV rays.

5. Stay hydrated.

According to Nutritional Needs In Cold And In High-Altitude Environments, military studies of soldiers in arctic climates have found that you can lose as much if not more body fluid in cold weather as in hot. For one thing, cold weather exercising can make you sweat which can lead to fluid loss. You also lose fluid when you’re breathing. Plus, you’re more likely to not replace the fluid you’re losing when you exercise in the cold because you don’t feel the same thirst sensation you do when it’s warmer. Keep a water bottle with you and drink even if you don’t feel thirsty.

6. Keep an eye on the temp.

You can risk frostbite if the temperature drops to low or if the wind chill makes it feel that cold. “At wind chill levels below minus 18 F (minus 28 C), frostbite can occur on exposed skin in 30 minutes or less,” according to experts at Mayo Clinic. Likewise, hypothermia—an abnormally low body temperature—is also a risk. The symptoms of hypothermia include exhaustion, shivering, fumbling hands, confusion, memory loss and slurred speech, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It can occur when temperatures are very low, but also if it’s warmer (above 40 F) but you’re chilled from rain, snow or sweat. Hypothermia is a medical emergency.

7. Warm up your muscles.

Cold weather plus cold muscles is a recipe for injury. Static stretching should be avoided. You want to do some simple, dynamic stretches and moves that wake up your joints and get your blood flowing. Do a few arm swings and circles, high steps or lunges before you start out, says experts at Harvard Health Publishing.

What is an Online Weight Loss Buddy?

As an online weight loss coach, I believe that losing weight shouldn’t be a journey you travel alone. If you’ve had success dieting and losing weight in the past but have trouble keeping the pounds off for good, an online weight loss buddy can provide the support and commiseration you need to make a permanent change.

It’s no secret that building a strong support system helps most people lose more weight.

I’ve written before about how self-accountability isn’t the best way to reach your weight loss goals if you struggle with losing weight in general – it can be much more tempting to take care of the daily demands that come from simply existing as a professional woman before we prioritize ourselves.

But if you’re serious about losing weight, science shows that certain strategies are more effective than others – and I’m all about sharing healthy, science-backed weight loss shortcuts with my online weight loss coaching clients. Enter the online weight loss buddy.

An online weight loss buddy is a person on a similar journey whom you can rely on for accountability and encouragement. When it comes to diet and exercise, numerous studies conclude that individuals who link up with a weight loss buddy lose more weight and inches from their bodies than people who try to lose weight alone.

While finding the right support is an integral part of long term slimming success, not everyone has the time to attend a meeting at a certain time in a certain place. An online weight loss buddy can help you stay on track with your weight loss goals.

3 Benefits of an Online Weight Loss Buddy

Most people put all their effort into finding the right diet or exercise program but don’t put any energy into creating a support and accountability system. Getting an online weight loss buddy that is on the same journey you are will help you stay motivated towards your goals. How?

1. Finding ways to make weight loss more fun and enjoyable does wonders for increasing motivation. Teaming up is always more fun, and a weight loss buddy can help inspire you to push forward.

2. You may find support from friends and family, but if they haven’t walked a mile in your shoes, they might not be able to give you what you really need. A weight loss buddy is someone to share your progress with, and at the same time learn from their experience. A buddy who is in the same boat will be better able to relate to the type of support you need.

3. When you feel frustrated, an online weight loss buddy can encourage you, share effective advice and help you problem solve past your barriers. After all, they’re right there with you.

So if you’re struggling to stay on track with your weight loss goals, finding an online weight loss buddy to keep you accountable and motivate you can help you lose a few more pounds.

What to Look For in an Online Weight Loss Buddy

So, you’ve decided an online weight loss buddy is right for you. Now you need to find the right ally. Choosing a weight loss buddy is a very personal matter, and there is no one type of weight loss buddy that is better than another. The truth is, even if we share the same goals, what it takes to get us there is different for every person.

With that said, there are some practical qualities that you can look for in a partner that will likely make your relationship more successful:

1. Choose a buddy you can relate to.

In general, it’s best to have a weight loss buddy with similar goals to your own. This way, both of you will be progressing at a similar pace throughout both of your weight loss journeys.

If you have any dietary or medical issues, choosing an online weight loss buddy with the same issues will make it easier for you to relate and problem-solve common stumbling blocks.

2. Your online weight loss buddy should be consistently available.

You’ll want to choose a partner who is regularly available and has a schedule similar to yours. Of course, your buddy doesn’t have to be on the exact same schedule as you, but taking things like daily routine and time zone into account can help make sure the support is there when you need it.

3. Your online weight loss buddy should be kind and encouraging.

When you find an online weight loss buddy, you and your teammate will need to talk about how to best cheer one another on. In general, your buddy should be excited at the prospect of helping you lose weight, and expect the same excitement towards helping them with their weight loss goals from you.

4. The key to an effective weight loss buddy is accountability.

Keeping each other accountable means agreeing to help one another meet goals. It’s important that buddies spend time listening to each other, so assure your weight loss buddy that you will be encouraging of their success – even when you’re frustrated on your own end.

5. You aren’t in competition with your weight loss buddy.

While a little friendly competition can actually be a good thing, extreme competitiveness has no place in a weight loss buddy relationship. To avoid this, choose a weight loss buddy who’s there to meet their own personal goals each day. That way, you and your buddy can be mutually encouraging of each other’s goals.

Setting boundaries and expectations is important when building your relationship with your weight loss buddy. As long as you both know what the other needs and expects, you can be there for each other.

How to Dump an Online Weight Loss Buddy

If your weight loss partner has a different schedule or different goals than you, it can be challenging to find a weight-loss buddy that’s consistent (unless it’s someone you pay).

Don’t be afraid to call it off when an online weight loss buddy isn’t working out. If you’re not getting the support and accountability you need, or if your buddy wants more than you can give, it may be time to move on and find someone new.

The purpose of an online weight loss buddy is to enhance the experience for both partners, and make it easier and more fun for each of you. If that’s not happening, there’s no point in sticking it out.

Your weight loss journey can be a challenging and incredibly rewarding experience, but you don’t have to do it alone! An online weight loss buddy can help motivate you to stay the course.

If you’re looking for more professional one-on-one support, Masala Body’s online weight loss coaching can help make your weight loss dreams a reality.

Do smoothie cleanses work?

It is important to know if you are eliminating toxins from your body. If you're not getting rid of toxins, there might be another problem.

For a cleanse to work, it must remove all the toxins from your system.

This could be because you aren't getting enough water or not eating right.

You might also want to reduce your salt intake and avoid caffeine.

You could also be experiencing other reasons why you are not seeing results.

• Your digestive system isn't functioning correctly. This means that your body isn’t taking in what you’re taking in.
• You don't eat enough protein. Protein helps build muscle tissue.
• Carbohydrates are too high in calories. Carbohydrates can be stored as energy.

• Your diet is not adequate in fats. To absorb certain vitamins, fats are necessary.
• Your intake of essential fatty acids (EFAs), is too low. The benefits of EFAs have been shown to decrease inflammation.
• You are consuming too little fiber. Fiber absorbs excess cholesterol. Fiber also speeds up digestion.
• Your diet is not adequate in vitamin C. Vitamin C is necessary for proper collagen production. Collagen keeps skin firm and elastic.
• You are eating too many portions. It is best to use a standard cup measurement for measuring portions.
• Consuming too much alcohol is a problem. Alcohol is very dehydrating.
• High levels of caffeine are not healthy. Too much caffeine can damage the liver.
• Low magnesium levels are a problem. Magnesium is essential for strong bones and healthy muscles.
• Your potassium intake is too low. Potassium is necessary to maintain fluid balance.

What can I do to detox my body, lose weight and get rid of it?

Water helps to flush out toxins. Water is vital for hair and skin health. Water is important throughout the day. Drink more water after meals if you feel dehydrated. Water can also help with digestion and flush excess sodium from the body.

Green tea is a great alternative to alcohol if you are looking to cut down on alcohol consumption. Green tea contains catechins, which can help lower fat absorption in your stomach. Caffeine stimulates metabolism.

What are some ways to detoxify your body?

High fiber foods are necessary to cleanse your system. This allows you to move waste products out of your digestive tract and into the colon where they are eliminated as stool. Whole grains and beans, as well as fruits and vegetables, are some of the foods rich in dietary Fiber.

Avoid caffeine and alcohol. They stimulate the nervous system which can cause increased bowel movements. Your gut's beneficial bacteria may be replenished by probiotics. Probiotic supplements include live cultures of healthy microorganisms such as bacteria that aid digestion.

Butyrate is an essential nutrient for intestinal health. It increases cell turnover and fuels immune cells.

Ginger tea is a good option for diarrhea. Ginger contains compounds called "gingerols", which block the production of prostaglandins. They are chemicals that are created during inflammation. Prostaglandin inhibitions reduce inflammation. Therefore, ginger is used to treat arthritis, menstrual cramps and nausea.

Drinking hot water before bedtime is another way to relieve insomnia. Hot water increases blood circulation, cooling the skin and relaxing muscles. This could improve your quality of sleep.

You don't have to go cold turkey. You can start by cutting down on caffeine and other caffeinated drinks. Next, cut down on soda, fruit juice, and alcohol. Reduce your total calories by eliminating one meal at a stretch until you have reduced your total calories consumption by 20%.

Are there natural options to prescription drugs like phentermine that suppress appetite?

Green tea extract is the most popular option for those who want to lose weight and avoid side effects from prescription diet pills. Green tea extract is rich in caffeine, which stimulates metabolism and epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), that helps to burn fat through thermogenesis.

Green tea also has antioxidants that help fight free radicals. They also protect against damage caused from stress and oxidation.

But, green tea does NOT cause weight loss. Instead, it simply makes your body more efficient at burning calories.

Although green tea may help with weight loss, you should still be careful about how much you eat.

L-Carnitine can also be supplemented. This amino acids increases energy levels and promotes the growth of muscles. It doesn't suppress your appetite so you need to continue eating regular meals.

Which natural product is the best for weight loss

The most effective way to lose weight is by eating less food while exercising regularly. Exercise alone will not make you lose weight. This is because food is necessary for our bodies to function correctly. It's possible to gain weight if you eat too much food. On the other hand, if we don't eat enough food, we're also at risk of losing weight.

When selecting the best foods to help you lose weight, it is essential that you select foods with high nutritional value and low calories. These include fruits, vegetables and whole grains as well as lean meats, fish and nuts.

Amy Slaton Weight Reduction [Upgraded]: Surgery, Maternity, Before as well as After

When Amy first appeared on the TLC’s 1000-lb Sisters, fans noticed that finally, a light-weighted participant has joined.

However, that “light-weighted” was only light-weighted as compared to the standards of the show. Slaton’s weight was about 400 pounds when she first appeared on the show.

But Amy wasn’t satisfied at all. She never thought that her weight has increased that much. After finding out the reality, Amy embarked on the journey to lose weight. And she did succeed in that journey. Slaton reached 270 pounds. But of course, that journey wasn’t without ups and downs. 

Amy had to see a lot of hard times along the way. She was on kind of a roller coaster going up and down. So, join me in finding out what that roller coaster felt like to Slaton, herself. 

Find out how Alana Thompson has been fighting obesity since her childhood.

Amy Slaton’s Weight Loss Journey

Before finding out how did she lose weight, we should discuss how did she reach where she is now.

In Slaton’s own words, “We (she and her sister who is also struggling with obesity) were born very poor”. She said that there were times when we did not have food at all. 

Amy recalled that they were provided food by the church and most of the time it was fast food.

So, this is how her, (along with her sister’s) weight started increasing. That was precisely how Amy built a love for fast food that became the main reason behind her obesity.

Now, returning to the main question of how did Slaton lose weight. When Slaton consulted with her doctor, he informed her that the only way to start weight loss was by undergoing surgery. On hearing that, Amy agreed.

However, the doctor put forward a condition that she must lose 20 pounds before undergoing surgery as it would eliminate all high risks.

How did Amy Lose Weight?

Agreeing on this point with the doctor as well, Slaton lost 20 pounds after a lot of struggle in the gym and eliminating a big portion of her food consumption. The next step was to undergo the surgery and that is what she did.

After the procedure was done, Amy’s weight was down to 300 pounds. That was a huge accomplishment compared to the history of Slaton’s struggles with obesity.

After that surgery, things took a different turn. Amy became pregnant with her son, Gage, and the weight loss journey had to be stopped. 

During the pregnancy, as expectable, Slaton put on a lot of weight. She said that it seemed all her “struggles were in vain”. However, as soon as she gave birth, Slaton got back on track. She observed discipline in her eating and did workouts on a daily basis.

In this way, she lost weight in quite a great way and became slimmer. Amy’s struggle so bewildered her fans that when one of her fans saw her jogging in a public park, they shared the photo on Reddit, making it a topic of discussion. The photo was captioned, “Amy looks so skinny. She has lost a lot of extra skin”.

Before & After Weight Loss

To be precise, Slaton has lost 130 pounds in her weight loss journey. She went from 400 pounds straight to 270 pounds. While shocking everyone, even her sister, Tammy.

While trying to lose weight on My 600-lb Life, Amber Rachdi has lost 20 pounds.

Final Words

There is no doubt that Slaton has seen a lot of struggles in her life. Obesity, for a long time, has dominated her life.

However, now Slaton is taking a stand and she has made a huge difference. Amy is a sparkle of light for those who despair because of obesity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are African Mango Extracts Caffeine-Free

An average person's caffeine intake was measured. These results were shocking.

A cup of coffee has around 100mg of caffeine while a small glass cola contains about 40mg. What if caffeine could be obtained without consuming any calories?

This is where African mango extract comes into play! It is a great source of energy, with the same benefits as caffeine, but without sugar or calories.

African mango extract aids in concentration and focus as well as improving brain function.

What can I do to detox my body, lose weight and get rid of it?

Drinking water flushes out toxins. Water is vital for hair and skin health. When you are feeling thirsty, drink lots of water throughout the day. Water also aids digestion and flushes excess sodium from your system.

Green tea is a great alternative to alcohol if you are looking to cut down on alcohol consumption. Green tea is rich in catechins that help to reduce stomach fat, and caffeine stimulates metabolism.

Are natural appetite suppressants effective?

Reduce your food intake is the best way of naturally losing weight. This would be a reduction in calories as well as a reduction in the consumption of high-fat or sugary foods.

The most effective way to lose weight fast is by exercising regularly. You'll burn the extra calories you consume from the delicious foods you eat every day.

Try one of our natural appetite suppressant supplements if you are still having trouble losing weight.

They are rich in powerful ingredients such as ginger, bitter melon, green and ginseng. All of them have been clinically demonstrated to reduce hunger pangs.

What can I drink to detoxify my body?

Fiber is essential for cleansing your body. This helps to move waste products from your digestive tract into the colon, where they are then eliminated as stool. Foods rich in dietary fiber include whole grains, beans, fruits, and vegetables.

You should also avoid caffeine and alcohol because these stimulate your nervous system, which causes increased bowel movements. Taking probiotics may help to replenish beneficial bacteria in your gut. Probiotic supplements contain live cultures made up of healthy microorganisms (bacteria). These bacteria aid in digestion by producing short chain fatty acids, such as butyrate.

Butyrate is a vital nutrient that promotes intestinal health. It increases cell turnover and fuels immune cells.

Drink ginger tea if you suffer from diarrhea. Ginger contains compounds known as gingerols which inhibit the production and release of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemicals that cause inflammation. Prostaglandin inhibitions reduce inflammation. Therefore, ginger is used to treat arthritis, menstrual cramps and nausea.

A hot shower before bed is another way to alleviate insomnia. Hot water helps increase blood circulation to the skin. It also cools it down and relaxes muscles. This could improve your quality of sleep.

It doesn't mean you have to stop drinking coffee. Begin by cutting down on coffee and other caffeinated beverages. Next, cut down on soda, fruit juice, and alcohol. Reduce your total calories by eliminating one meal at a stretch until you have reduced your total calories consumption by 20%.
