Just what you needed for the holidays--
Why do I have Stubborn Belly Fat
when I do a Million Crunches a day?
This DVD describes the anatomy and physiology of how this happens. Then, I give you exercises to help tone up that pouch in front by strengthening the back. The exercises are easy and can be done in addition to your current activity routine, or help you start one.BACK PROBLEMS???
I have a metal rod next to my spine, and can do these exercises. If your belly is flabby, your back is not strong. These simple exercises can help strengthen your lower torso and help stretch those back muscles. I showed these to personal trainers before introducing them to you. I even have a work around for one exercise, just in case you need it. Remember to be safe. Make sure you speak to your healthcare provider before starting any new physical activity program.
For weight management the keys are:
What you do and what you eat.
The Stubborn Belly Fat DVD will help with what you do, but here is how to upgrade what you eat.
My cook book, Melt the Belly Fat Recipes will help you make delicious, NO cholesterol, low fat dishes to melt those holiday yummies away. The recipes run from fast salads to Sunday dinner. These 25 recipes have the nutrition breakdown right with them. I cover breakfast, appetizers, sandwich spread, salad, main course and OF COURSE dessert! I have a copy of the Belly Fat exercises in the book just in case you want a hard copy to refresh your mind without watching the DVD.
The cost is 10.95 + $2.95 shipping/handling
Getting both will kick start you to a new level of health for the New Year.

BUST THE MYTH "Nutritious food must be expensive"DVD :
Million $$$Nutrition on a Food Stamp Budget.
Everyone tells me, I would LOVE to eat healthy, but it is too expensive. BAH! I conducted a grocery study each year of a family weight management program which I coordinated and taught cooking and nutrition. Each year the healthy menu was almost half of what the families would have bought before the program. So, I put this and my own experience of being cash challenged to the test.
The fastest new population needing food assistance is whole families. So, I got a monthly amount from my local food assistance office for a proto-type family and went shoppin' and got cookin'. I came up with a week's worth of recipes that used the amount allotted plus about $6. After the first week there were foods left over.
The menu and all of the recipes are downloadable/printable files on the DVD. I decided not to create a cookbook and save some trees. I made a video of almost every recipe [I figure you know how to make Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches]. The recipes all have a nutritional breakdown.
The equipment is minimal. Any college student can do it. All you need is a knife, cutting board, a couple of pots and a potato masher.
The menu is LOW-fat, NO cholesterol, HIGH fiber and MOST importantly- DELICIOUS!!
YOU GET: Printable menu, recipes [I decided to save trees and not print a book] with nutritional breakdowns, cooking videos of almost all the recipes, basic recipes like how to make rice, beans, soaking, oops you forgot to soak. Tons of shopping tips and cooking tips.
If you want a copy of the DVD, go to Marketplace and purchase one.
Also, my next DVD - Why I have Stubborn Belly Fat when I do a million Crunches a Day, with exercises and research showing why this occurs [too much exercise, stress, etc.] is available. Just in time to get you and your waistline through the holidays. Trim the tree and your muffin top at the Marketplace.

December 2009
Tatsoi was still edible even after the 3 inches of snow covered it. The kale still has some leaves. It seems that October hits and I have no time to finish the garden and put it to bed. This year especially.
But, my brussels sprouts are on tonight's menu as well as the end of the red cabbage. Our freezer is full of berries and fruit for crisps, smoothies and pies until next June.
Like most of the East, our tomatoes were a wash, but I still managed to get a few bags into the freezer for January salsa.
AND THEN COME THE SEED CATALOGS!!!!
Ah, to sip some port and dream of next Spring.
______________________________________________________
This month's recipe came from the Garden and SH-H-H-H our nearby meadow. Here are the wild onions I dug from garden and where I walk Buster. That's why it is called, Stolen Spring Onion Soup.
I added some mustard greens from our unmowed back yard.
The reason I made this very simple soup was to get you out of the house and looking at what is around for free. The calcium in the mustard greens is right up there with kale, but it is free. The taste is a little bitter, but adding a touch to a salad or steamed greens brings out flavor without adding too much pucker power.
I have people ask me more about what should they grown instead of where should they grow. Read the rest in The Garden
Scientific American - How Meat Contributes to Global Warming.
Key Concepts
- Pound for pound, beef production generates greenhouse gases that contribute more than 13 times as much to global warming as do the gases emitted from producing chicken. For potatoes, the multiplier is 57.
- Beef consumption is rising rapidly, both as population increases and as people eat more meat.
- Producing the annual beef diet of the average American emits as much greenhouse gas as a car driven more than 1,800 miles.
Nothing here that isn't backed by solid research. Also, whatever weird findings we get on our own we put here.
This month: Why Carb Counting Doesn't Add Up. Also, study about bone health and my take on it. Coming June 10th.

Olive oil is getting pressed for results
Dr. Caldwell Esselstyne was a cardiac surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Esselstyn has been expalining to audiences for years that any oil in the diet leads to coronary issues. ANY ADDED OIL, PERIOD. I have an abstract to one of the articles he uses to support his work, Olive, soybean and palm oil intake have a similar acute detrimental effect over the endothelial function in healthy yeang subjects. I also explain what this means.
Are Nuts, Nuts?
In the NO OIL motif, I have some information sparked by a chart by Jeff Novick, MS, RD, LDN, and more alphabet soup. This concerns nuts. We have all been innundated by the nut and seed people, especially at the Dietetics Convention. Here's some information that you should know about nuts and heart health that will crack open your shell about Omega 3's. [Jeff has the most interesting information and I urge you to check him out.]
There's research on Type 2 Diabetes and Fat, NOT CARBS is the issue. Fat worked like gum in a lock. It wouldn't allow the insulin to open the door and let in the glucose. The fat was cut out of the diet and the glucose began to stablize. Watch the video or read the abstract or go to PCRM and get more info or watch webcasts.
Milk allergies and gluten allergies are extremely debilitating. Check out what I found while researching a diet to assist with these issues.
