Keto Diet yes/no?

2019-03-23T08:43:48-04:00Tuesday, March 19, 2019|

So many people today are curious about the keto or ketogenic diet. Basically its is a very low-carb diet, designed can help you burn fat more effectively. Here you’ll learn how to eat a keto diet based on real foods. And for added benefit I highly recommend adding this KETO DRINK 1. Intro: What is the keto diet? What “keto” means The “keto” in a ketogenic diet comes from the fact that it allows the body to produce small fuel molecules called “ketones”.3 This is an alternative fuel source for the body, used when blood sugar (glucose) is in short supply. Ketones are produced if you eat very few carbs (that are quickly broken down into blood sugar) and only moderate amounts of protein (excess protein can also be converted to blood sugar). The liver produces ketones from fat. These ketones then serve as a fuel source throughout the body, especially for the brain. The brain is a hungry organ that consumes lots of energy every day, and it can’t run on fat directly. It can only run on glucose… or ketones.45 On a ketogenic diet, your entire body switches its fuel supply to run mostly on fat, burning fat 24-7. [...]

Getting Kids to Juice!

People always ask me, 'How do you get kids to eat healthy?" The answer is simple - feed them healthy - may sound easy but before most children are 2 years old they have been inundated with sugar, birthday cake, candy, high fructose corn syrup, cereals, ice cream and the list goes on... food that if you truly realized how bad it was - you wouldn't feed to someone who hated - but now you are noticing you're feeding it your most precious loved ones -- they are getting desensitized to taste, further away from raw, natural flavors and the heading towards early diabetes, obesity and a host of health problems. If its true you ARE WHAT YOU EAT - then lets start with natural, nutrition rich ingredients to help build our young ones as strong and healthy as possible yes?   replace sugar drinks with fresh natural juices (adding in veggies) offer them water whenever possible involve them in the cook process in the kitchen talk about what food really is and why we eat - and if you don't know, lets get educated!

A pineAPPLE a day!

2017-08-12T15:51:47-04:00Monday, May 2, 2016|Tags: , , , |

Doctors talk about an apple a day well - good news for Hawaii - Pineapples are IDEAL for Weight Loss! 1. Fresh, raw pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain that aids digestion by breaking down protein in the digestive tract. This promotes muscle strength and elasticity, and we know that muscle burns more calories than fat! 2. The bromelain enzyme contains potassium, so it actually neutralizes sodium, arginine and some acids. This helps eliminate water from your body, flushing fat out with it...making it a natural diuretic. It even drains adipose tissue, thus being a treatment for cellulite. 3. Pineapple is also anti-inflammatory which helps solve many stomach and intestinal problems. 4. Pineapple contains no fat, and is a low calorie, low energy density fruit which means more food for less calories. Why not eat fresh pineapple instead of having a sugary dessert?! (1 serving = app. 1⁄2 cup = about 40 calories) 5. The high fiber content in pineapples makes you feel full (causing you to stop eating) and helps keep your bowels consistent. 6. Pineapple is 87% water which helps you feel full and increases your water intake, both of which are good for weight loss. 7. [...]

Metabolic Boosting Foods!

2017-08-12T15:51:51-04:00Monday, September 7, 2015|

Body Builders will tell you that a strong, lean body is MADE in the kitchen, not the gym. Well here’s an exciting bonus - certain food CAN boost your metabolism and help you burn fat just by EATING THEM! What Is Metabolism? Metabolism is the amount of energy or calories needed by your body to maintain itself throughout the day. Everyone's metabolism is different and affected by your body’s composition -people with more muscles will have a higher metabolism, while those that are less muscular have a lower metabolism. Old adage to get you motivated to go to the gym (or SpinGym regularly) muscle burns fat for fuel! A person with a higher metabolism (due to working out and greater muscle mass) will be able to eat more calories daily than another person with the same weight and height that does not workout or have the same amount of muscle mass. Great news for those of us who LOVE to eat. The foods listed below can literally scorch calories as you chew - they are ones with very high thermogenic properties. SO! Feed your metabolism with these… Hot peppers Capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their kick, heats up [...]

TOP FIVE MEDICAL REASONS TO EXERCISE WITH SPINGYM written by Dr. L. Krudo When I first met Forbes Riley I was immediately struck by her passion and commitment.  Her knowledge of the human body from her experience as a dancer, martial artist, massage therapy, and fitness expert were equally if not more impressive.  But I must admit, when I first saw her SpinGym, I was skeptical.  Until I used it myself, and then I too, understand the power and genius of this amazing device. As a doctor, I use a “whole person approach” when taking care of my patients. By combining the very best hands-on-technique, state of the art physiotherapy procedures, and providing clients with the newest and best fitness programs and natural vitamins and mineral supplements on the market today.   My mission is to help you to accelerate and/or maintain your journey to good health. I first recommend finding an exercise program that is low-impact and effective in promoting core strength, increased flexibility, and improved balance.   Below are 5 reasons why I endorse the Forbes Riley SpinGym Weight control
