Is is Difficult to Travel when you are using KETOPIA?

Is is Difficult to Travel when you are using KETOPIA?

This is a question that I have been asked and I’d like to offer MY experience.

First of all, I have found that using the Ketopia 10-Day Reset pack incredibly EASY- SIMPLE and CONVENIENT!!!! For me- it is easy and a preferred program to travel with as it is very portable and easy to consume in any imaginable situation- whether driving, eating in a hotel room, in an airport or on an airplane. Also because it is filling and satisfying, you’ll be able to over look the crappy non-food options that you may have succumbed to in the past when little else was available. Also as long as you stay hydrated, you ought to be able to continue your program with the same success as while you are in the convenience of your home. Your only meal you’ll have to find while traveling is your dinner meal and we find it very easy finding restaurants where you can get a large salad and protein of your choice. (choose from baked, broiled or grilled)

Having said this- I would limit going out and traveling the first time you do the 10-Day Reset as you will want to be 100% compliant with all suggested foods and the times that are most optimal for eating them! We find it easier to do this in your home environment as you become acclimated to the foods/timing of the foods and preparation. Ketopia visual now
(after your first 10 Day Reset you’ll be a pro and know what is easiest for you and how your body responds!)

Of course- like anything else, you want to be dedicated to your results and committed to the program as there may be foods available that are tempting- that you simply do not have available in your home environment. Planning ahead and keeping your eye on your goal will help! Traveling with your individual packs of KetonX, Dough Bites, FIXX energy shake and a shaker is key!

not on a dietI am sitting in the airport as I write this and heading home after a 6 day trip to NC finding our perfect winter get-away ocean home. Although we enjoyed the majority of our meals on the go- using KetonX in the morning, Dough Bites late morning (Also a great snack to ward off any cravings or hunger!) and FIXX for our afternoon meal- (simply add to cold water in a shaker and enjoy!) we did enjoy some southern meals in local Seafood restaurants. I enjoyed foods NOT keto friendly, but since I have successfully RESET my body using Ketopia on 3 occasions (30 Days straight) my body really does adjust nicely and with ease. Foods I had never tried and enjoyed were: a Fried Soft Shell Crab, Jambalaya, jambalayafried green tomatoes, and get this…shrimp grits!

I am looking forward to being home and getting back on KETOPIA tomorrow. I feel so much healthier, energetic and ‘burn’ more clean and clear…..when using FAT for fuel rather than carbs and sugars- and what better fat is there to burn than ones own stored body fat?

What Foods Can I Eat on KETOPIA? (or Ketogenic Diet)

What Foods Can I Eat on KETOPIA?

KETO FOOD PYRAMID

I’ll have to be honest, prior to KETOPIA I was unaware of what a KETOGENIC nutritional program actually was- or why so many people were embracing this way of eating- for health reasons as well as weight loss.

HIGH FATS- are you kidding? Nope, we aren’t- they are GOOD for you! MEDIUM PROTEIN- I can understand that….and LOW CARBS? really? I use to live on Carbs…even though they were – for the most part- healthy carbs- like fruits/veggies and whole food grains… yet now that I know what I know, I believe they still attributed to my weight gain- especially through menopause.

If this is YOU….and you have a little TOO MUCH STORED ENERGY around your belly and that your clothes are beginning to get tighter and tigher- you’ll love how you feel on KETOPIA. Guaranteed!

because this feeling really sucksWhat I have found on KETOPIA is that the program is truly a 10-Day Reset– it really does RESET your body to begin utilizing FAT for fuel rather than relying on carbs and sugars. Also it RESETS your body, your mind and your brain. You’ll find, on the 10-Day Ketopia RESET, that you will have fewer cravings IF ANY, and little to no hunger.

Some people who embark on this program are fearful that they will be deprived and have to live on celery sticks or lettuce leafs with little to no other food options. NOT SO! As you’ll see from this Ketopia System below, there are an abundance of healthy foods that you can eat on Ketopia. KEEP IN MIND THE 10-DAY RESET ACTUALLY PROVIDES 3 Products that are the majority of your daily food intake. THE KETONX DRINK IN THE MORNING, DOUGH BITES MID MORNING, AND A FIXX ENERGY SHAKE EARLY AFTERNOON. All you’ll need to be concerned with is preparing a healthy dinner meal and any snacks you wish to consume throughout the day. (We have heard that consuming snacks WITH the foods provided on Ketopia work best to keep the burn going throughout the day!)

We’ve found that we SAVE $ using KETOPIA!

Capture KETOPIA SYSTEM OK…I can see that there are a lot of foods I can eat… but what about FATS and DRINKS? Can I still enjoy my evening cocktail or two?

There are an abundance of healthy fats that you can enjoy- and they will help keep you satisfied and full. I have NEVER in my life ever consumed so many healthy fats….AND I am still losing fat and weight!!!

As for cocktails, HOLD OFF….they will not support your weight/fat loss or staying in a state of nutritional ketosis. Who knows, if you are like me you may not even crave them!!!! So- hold off, at least for the first 10-Day Reset. Give your body a break and if you want to go back having an occasional cocktail, you may want to lean towards the lower carb cocktails. One of my favorite cocktails, on occasion, is what I call a KETO-FRIENDLY Vodka Pulse-8! You can learn more about Pulse-8 by visiting www.JoysFavorites.com.

better than FrequenSINIS

Capture FATS and DRINKSTIPS FOR EATING OUT: Of course you can eat out. Just be sensible and keep things simple. salmonAlso stick to low-carb options. A steak or fish with a side of steamed vegetables and butter are a good example.

When eating fast food, try to avoid fried foods. A number of places offer protein-style hamburgers, which means the burger is wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun.

Now that you know what you CAN eat on KETOPIA, order your Ketopia 10 Day Reset pack today. You can call us for personal consultation on the best option for your goals: 802-846-7530 or go to www.fgxnow.com .

What do the Power Strips Smell Like?

What do the Power Strips Smell Like?

Our new Perfume….

What is ON the Power Strips that makes them smell so distinct and “delicious”?

Power StripsThere are certain “SCENTS” that we may not be familiar with because of our culture here in the USA with the Western Influence and one is Korean Red Ginseng. Truth be known, it wasn’t until I received an order of the Power Strips by FG Xpress that I even knew what the “scent” of Korean Red Ginseng was like.

We never gave it any thought on what the Power Strips would smell like but were pleasantly surprised.

It is unlike anything I had ever smelled before- and yet, in some way it was familiar and was such an enticing scent that we fell in love with it immediately. We can always tell when either Dave or I personally put on a new application of Power Strips due to the aromatic Korean Red Ginseng scent. Power Strips are applied directly to the skin, topically.

What is Korean Red Ginseng? And is that what you smell when you open your package of Power Strips?

Considered the most effective form of ginseng on the market, Korean red ginseng has health-promoting effects on the human body that range from enhancing the mind to stimulating the libido. As Korean soil is considered to be the ideal location for growing red ginseng, Korean red ginseng offers a rich variety of minerals and nutrients that are beneficial to the body.
power stripsAbout Korean Red Ginseng

Grown 100 percent organically, Korean red ginseng takes six years to mature in soil that requires a 10-year rest between planting seasons. For this reason, Korean red ginseng contains a high amount of active elements and is sold at a much higher price than ginseng that is grown elsewhere. However, since it contains three times the amount of ginsenosides and is grown without the use of dangerous pesticides, the health benefits that it offers may make it well worth the cost.

1. Nutrients

Containing vitamins, amino acids, essential oils and natural enzymes, Korean red ginseng also boasts an unparalleled mineral content. Containing 42 natural minerals, Korean red ginseng offers a wide variety of beneficial nutrients to the body.

2. Relieves Stress and Fatigue

Korean red ginseng may be taken to combat weakness and add extra energy to an athletic performance. Ginsenosides, which are found in Korean red ginseng, are also valued for their ability to boost mental efficiency and relieve mental fatigue. Ginsenosides are believed to work as natural adaptogens in the body, meaning that they allow the body to adapt to stress in a natural manner. Korean red ginseng is said to work on the nervous system as a natural tranquilizer and is believed to boost metabolism function as well.

3. For the Sex Organs

Increasing natural testosterone levels as well as blood flow to the penis, perhaps the most widely recognized effect of Korean red ginseng is its libido-enhancing effects on the male sex glands. As ginseng has also been found to stimulate estrogen production in women, those who are in the early stages of menopause may benefit from supplementing their diet with Korean red ginseng.

4. Additional Benefits

It is believed to strengthen immunity due to its natural vitamins and mineral content and may be used as a natural detoxifier. Korean red ginseng reduces cortisol levels in the bloodstream, which is useful to diabetics, as cortisol interferes with insulin production.

As a high dosage of ginseng reduces blood pressure, Korean red ginseng may be especially beneficial for individuals with hypertension. Anti-inflammatory properties found in Korean red ginseng may be helpful for treating rheumatoid arthritis without the use of steroids.

Getting back to the Scent of the Power Strips and the Korean Red Ginseng- many people are finding it erotic…much like the photo below. If you have never had the pleasure of trying the Power Strips for health, energy and pain relief, go to www.FGXnow.com

Power Strips – Can they help with mineral deficiency?

Power Strips – Can they help with mineral deficiency?

Many people are raving about a brand new natural product called Power Strips by FG Xpress, a global division of a nine year, publically traded company, ForeverGreen International.

I have always told my clients that a deficiency in an important mineral can prevent you from experiencing optimal health. I recall on several occasions people who were deficient in calcium, magnesium or potassium (for example) who then addressed their diet and added a missing mineral began to feel improved energy and health within a short period of time. So when the Power Strips became available January 2013 I took a close look at the ingredients and knew it had a powerful combination ….and just “may” be the answer we have all been looking for.

Can a Power Strip every day keep the Doctor away?

I stumbled upon this article today and thought it tied in nicely with the ingredients- minerals in particular, in the Power Strips. It got me thinking about the testimonials people are sharing after experiencing wearing a Power Strip.

Doing your best to eat a well-rounded diet may not be enough if you have a mineral or protein deficiency. What you eat does matter, but the state of your digestive health can impact the nutrients you absorb each day.

The #1 Cause of Mineral and Protein

While you may eat a mineral-rich diet and plenty of protein, it turns out that you can still miss out on these vital nutrients.

This is one reason why the FG Xpress Power Strips may help YOU. Ingredients in the Power Strips:

  • Proprietary blend of Korean Red Ginseng (fermented) Germanium and a base of minerals. (Calcium, magnesium, potassium, silver ion) and marine phytoplankton.

 

When stomach acid is weak, the body grows deficient in protein.

The old saying goes, “You are what you eat.” In reality, you are what you absorb.

Diet is important. But digestive health trumps what you eat.

In other words, in order to get the most out of food, it is essential that you have the ability to extract nutrients and use them.

As it turns out, low stomach acid is responsible for both protein deficiency and mineral deficiency.

What does this mean for you?

When it comes to early signs of protein deficiency, watch out for these 2 red flags:

  1. Sugar cravings, unstable blood sugar, and constant snacking.
  2. Chronically low levels of energy or extreme tiredness.

Note: the Reported Benefits of the Power Strips are:

  • Restful sleep patterns
  • Improved energy and mood
  • Mental clarity, memory and sharper focus
  • Reduced stress and tension
  • Almost instant pain relief
  • Immune system boost
  • Increase muscular strength
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Less cravings for sugar or sweets
  • 24/7 detox and rebuild

 

Mineral deficiency can be more difficult to spot. However, low stomach acid can lead to mineral deficiencies—in particular calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, iron, and zinc. (1) (Note, both Calcium and Magnesium are in the Power Strips!)

power stripsSigns can include muscle cramps, white flecks on fingernails, wounds that are slow to heal, low levels of energy, iron-deficiency anemia, and Candida overgrowth. Some long-term mineral deficiencies can even lead to osteoporosis—or the break-down of bone. (2)

The Cause and Effect of Low Stomach Acid

Low energy levels could be a sign of a protein or mineral deficiency. Low stomach acid could be to blame, caused by pharmaceutical medications, stress, or age.

The most common cause of low stomach acid—or gastric juices that are too alkaline—is pharmaceutical medication.

Medication that treats heartburn reduces stomach acid. Examples include H2 antagonists (Zantac) or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs, like Prilosec). Both suppress the secretion of stomach acid.

Stomach acid, HCl (hydrochloric acid), is naturally acidic for a reason. The acidic nature of stomach acid protects the body against outside bacteria, yeast, parasites, and other infectious microorganisms.

Stomach acid activates enzymes that break down protein into smaller fragments that the body can use. When stomach acid is weak, the body grows deficient in protein.

Stress—physical, emotional, or mental—can reduce stomach acid and shut down digestion in the stomach. Furthermore, as the body ages, the stomach naturally becomes less efficient. (3)

Low Stomach Acid and Candida Overgrowth

Stomach acid creates a harsh environment, making it hard for organisms to survive.

Antacid medication changes this. It reduces the acidity of the stomach.

Research shows that Candida overgrowth inside the esophagus is associated with PPI medication. (4) Another study published in May 2013 concludes that antacid medication is an important risk factor for Candida overgrowth. (5)

When it comes to Candida overgrowth in the upper gastrointestinal tract, restoring the acidic nature of the stomach is sometimes not enough. This is because Candida is aggressive.

As it turns out, Candida thrives in a high-pH environment. In other words, antacid medication creates just the right environment for Candida to grow. To make matters worse, researchers have also found that Candida can control the pH of its environment. (6)

When necessary, Candida produces and releases ammonia. Ammonia is alkaline in nature. The ability of Candida to produce ammonia ensures its survival.

This is why it is essential to:

1. Correct the pH of the stomach .

2. Follow the Body Ecology healing protocol to control Candida overgrowth.

DANGER! Low Stomach Acid Leads to Mineral Deficiency and Weak Bones

Unfortunately, low stomach acid—either from infection, stress, or prescription antacids—can have serious, long-term consequences.

An acidic environment in the stomach is necessary for the absorption of mineral micronutrients like:

  • Calcium
  • Magnesium
  • Phosphorous
  • Zinc
  • Iron
  • Selenium

A deficiency in each mineral is associated with its own set of problems.

A safe preventative measure- is to wear a Power Strip daily. Your body will absorb the minerals and nutrients through the skin with no adverse side effects that many pharmaceutical drugs give.

The Power Strips are an all-natural topical “strip” with a proprietary blend of Korean Red Ginseng (fermented) Germanium and a base of minerals. (Calcium, magnesium, potassium, silver ion) and marine phytoplankton.

Health Benefits of Dark Chocolate

Health Benefits of Dark Chocolate

A friend of mine shares health tips several times a week via email and one topic in particular is of interest to me. I work with many women who are concerned with their health, weight and well-being and this topic comes up more than once a week. It is especially timing as we just finished the EASTER holiday and with all the news about the health benefits of dark chocolate I am still amazed at how many people avoid it or associate it with guilt….especially women. Read on, ladies, dark chocolate has many health benefits. As with anything, moderation is the key!

woman-eating-chocolate-111x150 I may very well be a rare woman who doesn’t have strong cravings for dark chocolate, but for those of you who do this info may be liberating. Can you resist a yummy piece of chocolate? And what if you found out by fact, that it is not only good for you but has many healthy and long lasting health benefits? Would you like that? Would that free you from your guilty chocolate indulgences? Perhaps even, when you have cravings it IS because your body is craving some of these nutrients and minerals.

Food scientists all over the world suggest that dark chocolate contains all the necessary compounds and minerals to prevent major chronic heart condition and disorders. The beneficial compounds, flavonoids are present in both raw and processed state of the dark chocolate.

Now, that might come as a surprise to more than half of the world’s population! You might have already heard how a bit of chocolate can actually be good for your heart and here we are not talking about the processed milk chocolate with added sugar. We are talking about the raw dark chocolate, the bitter, less sweet cousin of chocolate that most of us know.

Going back in history we can see that the key ingredient cacao, native to the Americas, has a rich source of some of the most vital nutrients. As with everything, moderation is the key, but check out some of the many health benefits of eating dark chocolate – even daily.

Health Benefits of Dark Chocolate:

dark-chocolate-150x113Being a rich source of iron, it is helpful for people with anemia.

  • Improves the brain functions by increasing the flow of blood.
  • Helps retain youthfulness owing to a high antioxidant content
  • High magnesium content helps ease constipation and menstrual cramps
  • Helps strengthen your immune system with a substantial zinc content
  • Vitamin C and omega 6 fatty acids in raw chocolate aids a healthy digestive and immune system

Perhaps ladies, you are more intuitive that you thought. Follow those healthy cravings- indulge in the right dark chocolates and enjoy a new stress-free chocolate experience.

Dark Chocolate

some of my personal favorites

A great source of dark chocolate can be purchased here in my home town of Burlington Vermont, from a company called Lake Champlain Chocolates. (www.lakechamlainchocolates.com) If you are a fan of dark organic chocolate and enjoy smoothies or meal replacement shakes the best by far that I have ever come across is a product called THUNDER. https://www.poweredbyforevergreen.org/shop/catalog.aspx?ck=JL21Y9lr2M5VZewyyV0yqS3LdfHbBLhoJCdagONkbP2dL%2bjnGPCuXSoOQnsEvZ0bgXYCa62kg883O5mJMhehaA%3d%3d

Work Out at Home with P90X

P90X and the Home Entrepreneaur

A friend asked my opinion about working out at home…wondering if the DVD programs “Out there in infomercials” actually work. I actually believe it depends on your dedication & true commitment to your goal….AND if you embrace a nutritional program that supports the fitness program.
Although I have always (in the past) relied on working out a gym….in 2011 I decided to try Beach Body’s P90X. What can I say? Watch this video and see for yourself. This program – and many others, are GREAT if you can push PLAY and do what Jeff Olson, author of the SLIGHT EDGE book and CEO of Nerium International talk about. It is easy to DO…and easy NOT TO DO. You decide.

Exceptional for the entrepreneur who works from home. check this out…soon to be revisited as I enter my 56th year AND now work from home! No excuses!!!!!

Transitioning to a Raw Food Diet

Raw Food Diet

January 9th, 2013

In 2011, A friend, Celeste, featured me on her blog via simple Q&A format. With it being January and a time when many people are making health and weight loss resolutions, I thought I would share this.

Q: For those interested in transitioning to a more raw food diet, how does ForeverGreen’s 14-Day Raw Promise work?

A: The 14 Day Raw Promise supplies you with 14 days of Raw and Whole Foods to assist you in the transition to eating more RAW foods. Many times people want to change their intake from cooked foods to more raw, but do not know where to begin. We KNOW that anyone who gives this “dietary change” a 14 day commitment, that they will love the results, thus the word “promise”. People inevitably lose weight, detoxify naturally, their digestion improves, their energy soars, skins glows and their cravings for unhealthy foods subside or disappear altogether. Many people find this is like a ‘road-map’ that offers healthy/raw and high fiber products as well as a menu guide line on eating foods. I also support anyone who does the challenge through the process…..for free. 14 short days to better health….how easy is that?

Q: What are the steps you took to transform your health and lifestyle?

A: I was first introduced to RAW or “Living Foods” when I went to Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida back in late 1999 and participated in their “three week long Life Change Program”. Prior to that time I thought RAW meant eating celery and carrot sticks and salads. I didn’t understand the LIFE FORCE in foods that are uncooked or unprocessed. That experienced changed my life! I have altered my food intake over the years to accommodate just about any foods but inevitably gravitate back to the RAW FOOD program for optimal health and energy. Personally I am happy with a balance of 75-80% raw…. However for a 2 month period I had a raw food chef living with me in Arizona and I was the healthiest and leanest I have been in years!

Fitness and the Raw Food Diet

Q: How do you incorporate daily exercise and activity into your busy life?

A: FITNESS IS a part of my life…just like eating good healthy food. Because it is a priority I make the time! Once I changed my attitude years ago from “I HAVE to work out” to “I DESERVE to work out” it became a natural part of what I do 6 days a week. I like the way it makes me feel and it keeps my 54 year old metabolism healthy and efficient.
Q: Tell us a little about the ForeverGreen products and how they have helped you personally.

A: I have been consuming a product called FrequenSea since August of 2005. FrequenSea is a tonic with marine phytoplankton that balances both your physical AND emotional body. I believe it is one reason (along with a healthy lifestyle) that I am always extremely healthy- and have a very strong immune system. I have also seen this product assist others who are very ill, regain their health in a short period of time. Other products of ForeverGreen that have changed my life are their personal care products. Because our skin is our largest organ I am careful to use only products that are all natural and without chemicals. ForeverGreen has an entire line of products dedicated to personal care for both the body and hair but also in the home. So many times people’s immune systems are compromised by what they put on their skin, as well as in their bodies. I am also very passionate about their newest product line that is called Versativa…which is HEMP based. Not only is hemp the most bioavailable protein available…but there are thousands of products that can be made from industrial hemp. ForeverGreen is working hard to get laws passed to allow our farmers in the USA grow hemp- rather than having to import it from other countries. By doing so hemp products will become more affordable but it will also sustain our economy AND help our farmers.

How to Start a Raw Food Diet

Q: So many people want to get healthy but they are very confused about where to start.

A: Suggest 5 steps people can take today to dive in.

Take a close look at yourself in the mirror and make an assessment. Do you like the way you FEEL? The way you look? And if the answer is NO then make a commitment to yourself to make healthy changes in your lifestyle to turn that answer into a YES. We all deserve “self-care” and yet many of us, especially women, have been accustomed to putting ourselves on the back burner and taking care of everyone else first. Much like the oxygen mask on an airplane….taking care of yourself FIRST will give you the energy and outlook to be able to assist others, if needed.

1 Make the decision to change- write it down!

2 Commit to the decision…whether it be food related or fitness. Find something that resonates with YOU and what you like. For example, I don’t like MEAT, so to attempt the Atkins diet would be ludicrous as I would not be able to stick with it! Also I don’t like to run….so I am not going to begin running. Instead, I may choose to walk as my form of fitness. Find something that makes your heart sing and commit to it.

3 Keep a journal…chart your progress and accomplishments…especially if your goals relate to food intake and making dietary changes. Most people do not know where they are starting out nutrition-wise or calorie-wise so how can they know how to proceed and make necessary changes? Many people are starving themselves nutritionally…and exceeding their daily calorie needs…and yet there are also many people who are not eating ENOUGH calories….thus their metabolism slows down. One of the best things I think people can begin to do is to begin incorporating more whole foods and RAW food sin their diet. Your energy will soar and you’ll begin to radiate from within.

4 Surround yourself with others with similar goals and interests. Find someone who inspires you and ask for them to share what is working for them.

5 Drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water per day. It will help keep you hydrated, help with brain function, digestion and keep you feeling full and satisfied.
Q: How do you suggest people connect with like-minded health conscious individuals so they don’t feel so alone on their healing journey.

A: I think associating with like-minded people through “meet up”, like minded friends etc. will help you stay inspired and on track. There are so many online resources available through the internet and social net-works…most are free so I would suggest people joining these groups to stay connected.

Health is a habit, not an event. Begin making “healthy deposits” in your life on a daily basis and you’ll enjoy more vibrant health. Who knows you may even inspire others to as well?
