Holistic Remedies article

Roobibos TeaGet mentally fit for weight loss!

There are literally thousands of diets and weight loss systems throughout the world; pills, shakes, soups, fads, carbohydrates, calories, fats, sugars, you name it. They are all available to you in the interest of helping you lose weight, change your body shape or size or changing the way your body feels. What most people don't realise that they all pretty much have one thing in common. You need to change your mental state before you can make any of them work!

Yes, you may find it a surprise but pretty much 99% of people looking to lose weight have actually subconsciously "chosen" the state their body is in. At the end of the day, YOU alone are responsible for putting the fried chicken in your mouth, YOU are responsible for NOT going for a walk this morning and, most importantly, YOU are responsible and have control of your thoughts, emotions and motivation.

Changing your mental state will help you change your physical state, as the old saying goes "you have to change what is on the inside to change what is on the outside" . Many people don't actually give a lot of thought to what is going on inside, about how they are stopping themselves from doing things and how they can make changes (small or large) that will create a positive difference in their lifestyle.

Find out what pain you have to break through to create more pleasure within your body and your mind. Not physical pain, but mental pain. What is it you have to deal with in order to remove the excess baggage (weight) you carry around with you?

To help answer these questions, the web site DietMad.com "Don't let weight loss drive you mad!" was created to break down many of the reasons why you don't lose weight, and help you find what is stopping you from having the body you want, rather than the body you have chosen.

When you find out what is holding you back from making changes in your life, body and diet, you will find that dieting no longer becomes about food and exercise, it becomes a lifestyle. With the right mental changes you will find that you CAN drink wine, go out for dinner and eat cheese, ice-cream and chocolate, however you must also use balance and thought and consume only in the right moderation.

Everyone has the ability, motivation and power to make almost any change positive and successful. Tapping into your mental state, deciding to make a few changes and acting out these changes is what will make all the difference!

Lets talk about Raw Food

Raw FoodHow To Get Your Student Son or Daughter to Eat Healthier Food

It's that time again. Our "babies" have gone off to University and Student life full of excitement at the prospect of wall to wall freedom and fun!

As parents we can only hope they will fit at least SOME studies into their busy student schedule of last night partying and long lie-ins. We have to accept the last thing on their minds for a few weeks is going to be cooking and using the kitchen.

With a lot of emphasis being put on "healthy eating" and "healthy lifestyles" just now it's not easy to convince students and young people of its importance.

However, you'd be surprised what a tight budget and a little persuasion can do when they are faced with NO BEER MONEY because they have to eat!

When my own youngest "flew the nest" last year I tried to find a recipe/cook book to pack which explained cooking from scratch for someone who hardly knew the difference in a kettle and a saucepan! Well! that's a bit exaggerated but you know what I mean!

I couldn't really find what I wanted so I set about composing a selection of Quick and Easy recipes with step by step instructions on how to do some basic cooking.

I had a fair idea, from the questions she asked, what kind of information would be useful to students.

Hey Presto! Bingo! I got her cooking and she can now use recipes and rustle up a decent meal with little effort!

Apparently her friends have joined in the cooking revolution and they now have a nice little cooking rota going in their house
.
This selection of Quick and Easy recipes with detailed explanation is the most productive (and cheapest) present I've ever given any of mine. RESULT? She can cook and follow recipes competently, eats healthier food, eats less fast food and her mother is happy!! I don't even mind the bags of dirty laundry!

And guess what? Many moms struggling in the kitchen also find this selection very useful.
