Focus on What You Should Eat

No-Fail Tip #22: Focus on What You Should Eat

“Focus on eating what we call ‘fat fighting phytochemicals’-- so eat berries, blood oranges, red grapes, Spanish olives, purple corn and açaí berries. Research shows that an antioxidant found in these fruits (and a few other vegetables) could fight fat in two ways. These contain an anti-obesity compound (the phytochemical C3G) that was found to increase production of both adiponectin and leptin. Adiponectin is a protein that enhances fat burning. Leptin is a hormone that suppresses appetite and converts calories to body heat.”

  1. The last post, I posted the link but it didn't work. This time, I posted ONE of the slides, the one I find to be most important. If you focus on what you SHOULD eat, you won't have room for what you SHOULDN'T eat. ;-) <3

Welcome to Weight Loss Coach Sherrie's Blog!

WELCOME EVERYONE. It is time to learn a "NEW WAY OF BEING IN THE WORLD."
I am currently trying a new way of eating (forget about that nasty "D" word!). I am following the "Schwarzbein Principle" and learning ways to focus on creativity and taking care of ME. I am currently in Body Blissmas, a program started by Jill Badonsky. As I learn to focus on healthy eating and being happy and creative, I would like to help you do the same.

Are you currently trying to lose weight?
