Excesstive Hunger -VS- PGX

I get this question A LOT...What can I take for weight loss? I'm always hungry and I can't control it.

This is a very complex subject because a person may be thirsty and get hunger pains...Yep that's right darling! You might just need to drink more water! And get this..You may not really be hungry at all and you eating because your bored or sad. Many times emotions may take over and that is what you call an "Emotional Eater".

You eat when your depressed, you eat when your happy, you eat nervous and food becomes your target to feel better. In most cases people deny this is what they are doing. If you recognize it then you quickly realize that the diet pills you bought isn't really helping.


 If you an "Emotional Eater" you need supplements for balancing your serotonin and you may have adrenals fatigue. I wrote about adrenal fatigue on a previous post...check it out <3

Now, please don't take this the wrong way people! No one should be ashamed of being an emotional eater. It's a good thing to recognize what you are and how you operate. It's just like solving a puzzle.

There is a great sense of relief in knowing what is causing you discomfort in your life. The hardest part is figuring out what it is in the 1st place.  So, please be honest with yourself and then you can move in the right direction.

 Emotional eater or not I have good news for you! People who get hungry too often and are over weight can get relief from this supplement called PGX from NATURAL FACTORS. PGX is a fiber that's expands in the stomach. This wonderful product has no calories, may help to lower blood sugar and help you detox the colon while keeping you fuller longer!

Remember what I said though...You may not be hungry! So make sure that your drinking plenty of water (Alkaline please). With PGX you will need to drink up anyways because fiber needs water to work. Also, if you eat out too much ...THAT NEEDS TO STOP! I mean it! Fast foods have tons of chemicals that make you crave more and give you hunger pains. Yes! you read that correctly ...I'll say it again.

 FAST FOOD WILL MAKE YOU FEEL HUNGRY!

So, cut it out people! :) Go to your local health food store and pick yourself up a supplement called PGX!

IT WORKS!

Quick tip- You can mix with water, sprinkle on yogurt, add it to juices or smoothies! But make sure to drink it quick or the fiber will expand in the cup instead of your stomach. For an experiance PGXer

I just dump it in my mouth and chase it with water and if there is any left over I just chew it up and I'm done but if you a beginner please don't try it at home kids ...hee hee!! 

Sending lots of LOVE with all my healthfoodie heart!!

Stay healthy and be kind to each other! ~Sfly signing out~

Low Libido?

 Is low libido affecting your life?

Working in a health food store for so many years I've probably asked every question under the sun. Anywhere from colon issues to very personal questions that might shock most of you and even make you blush but not me. No way ...I will answer them with a straight face.

Sometime, I'll get some young handsome men asking me about supplements for sex drive. I can tell they are waiting for a funny reaction and might even asked me that question as a joke to see the expression on my face but I won't break. I will look him right in those gorgeous eyes and ask him...do you think that it's lack of desire? or a problem with premature ejaculation? 

Oops! Too soon? I'm talking about the picture you guys...lol

If your low libido is caused by stress and hormone imbalance then we can definitely get you on the proper supplements and meal plans to correct it. However, if your low libido is caused by a bad relationship or a loss of desire for your partner then that is completely different. I will touch on this subject a bit before we move on to the stress and hormones. 

Loss of desire for your partner is an extremely tough situation and it's more a self-questioning issue than anything else. I wrote about this on a previous post. So, if that's what's happening to you please click on the link below...

        http://sierranaturals.blogspot.com/2012/04/self-questioning-let-talk-about-sex.html  

Now, if you are madly in love with your partner but your sex drive is low or gone all you have to do is start taking supplements to balance out the hormones. 

For men: 
Tongkat Ali, Tribulus, Maca and Horny Goat Weed.

For women: 

Maca, Progesterone cream, calcium d-glucarate and DIM.

These supplements won't just enhance libido but also increase your energy, help with sugar level and weight loss. 

Side note*

Avoid conventional meat especially chicken ....both men and women suffer from high estrogen which throws off your hormones because increase estrogen lower libido, energy and your ability to shed unwanted pounds. Please look at my other blog post for estrogen dominance information.

Stay tuned for more information!

Adrenal Fatigue & Major Life Changes

To; My Wonderful Readers

I humbly thank you all for visiting my blog! In the past 8 months my world was turned upside down and everything change. It was almost as if the walls around me were crumbling down. That is the best way to describe it. I've always been honest so here I am coming clean once again. Here it is, I stopped everything sort of like a deer in head lights. Everything I loved to do I just froze and kept my feeling on ice but deep inside there was a tornado starting. If I list all the things I've been through I could write a book...lol Maybe... I will, but not today, today I'm taking about Adrenal Fatigue that is associate with the stresses in major life changes.  On the bright side check me out...I'm writing again....and just in case your wondering  no, everything is not all better. I came across this quote and I knew I had to start.

What are adrenals? The adrenal glands are small organs that sit on top of the kidneys. They are  hormone-producing glands. When these glands are burnt out it's called adrenal fatigue syndrome. Adrenal fatigue can wreak havoc with your life. When the activity of the adrenal glands become diminished you may have difficulty getting out of bed for more than a few hours per day. As the function of your adrenal lessens every organ and system in your body is compromised. Changes occur in your carbohydrate, protein, fat metabolism, fluid and electrolyte balance, heart, cardiovascular system, and even sex drive. WOW! I think we can all agree that this is a huge problem and can not be ignored. Trust me it'll drive you crazy...lol I know 1st hand.

You know that feeling you get on a roller coaster ride and your cart starts going higher and higher? You get that feeling in the pit of your stomach, suddenly the cart stops and then WHOSH! you drop from the highest point. Feel that adrenaline rush and it's fun because it's only a ride so you laugh it off and look at the goofy pictures they take at the end ...OK, now take away the theme park ride. Not so much fun anymore because instead of being on a roller coaster you are driving on the highway in traffic or at work and you start freaking out! Yeah, not cool and very real. We all will handle it differently I would act cool even though my heart is ready to fall out of my chest.

Symptoms you may be experiencing;
 Fatigue

• Feeling tired upon waking, and having the most energy around 5pm
• Muscle aches and pains
• Frequent infections
• Digestive problems
• Allergies
• Craving salty or sweet foods
• Feeling rundown and overwhelmed
• Feeling mentally foggy
• Weight gain
• Depression

So adrenal fatigue really sucks and it can rob you from your quality of life. Let's do something about it! Please know that I do not receive any recognition or sponsorships from any of the companies that I mention on my blog. The only reason I suggest these products is because they work, I use them, I suggest them to my customers and I give them to my loved ones. 

The adrenal glands protect against the ravages of stress. They are nourished by herbs such as schizandra, holy basil (tulsi) and oats, while rhodiola and ashwagandha act as adaptogens offering overall support*.

Like magic in a bottle! Try this amazing blend and it works within 7-10 minutes. We all have bad days or days when we don't feel quite like ourselves. HELP YOURSELF FEEL BETTER. It doesn't mean that your weak or that you can't handle stress. Actually it means that you are strong enough to know that it's time to make a choice to be healthier. Go to your local Health Food Store and pick up a bottle... you won't regret it! I will get more in-depth on Rhodiola, Ashwagandha and Holy Basil on up coming posts.

Questions? you know where to find me <3
Spread the love! ~Sfly~ 

 

Lemons

There are many health benefits of lemons that have been known for centuries. Lemons’ are strong antibacterial, antiviral, and immune-boosting powers and their use as a weight loss aid because lemon juice is a digestive aid and liver cleanser. Lemons contain citric acid, calcium, magnesium, vitamin C, bioflavonoids, pectin, and that promote immunity and fight infection.

Lemon include its use as a treatment of throat infections, indigestion, constipation, dental problems, and fever, internal bleeding, rheumatism, burns, obesity, respiratory disorders, cholera and high blood pressure, while it also benefits hair and skin care,. Known for its therapeutic property since generations, lemon helps to strengthen your immune system, cleanse your stomach, and it is considered a blood purifier.

Benefits of Dancing!

Dancing keeping us young. It slows down the aging process. It benefits our heart, cardiovascular system and increases our lung capacity. Dancing aids in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and also keeps joints lubricated, which helps prevent arthritis.

This wonderful and sexy exercise helps our bodies to allow for increased circulation. It helps us burn those calories away, while improving our stamina. It is estimated that dance burns anywhere from 5 to 10 calories per minute depending on speed and intensity. 

If you like to dance, workout and burn calories then I suggest Zumba because it can help you build both muscle tone and cardiovascular endurance. These two benefits bring about a variety of positive health effects, including a lowered risk of developing hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and obesity. A traditional Zumba class focuses on raising your heart rate and toning your leg muscles as well as your core. Zumba Toning targets all major muscle groups, resulting in more lean body mass.

Ok ...so now that I laid down all the facts...I want to share my experience with Zumba. I have never liked signing up for classes at the gym. I always just did my own thing and that's the way I liked to workout. However, I absolutely love to dance but I would rather dance at home or out with friends but we all know going out has it's down falls, the night clubs get old after a while. Life becomes too busy, we get lazy or simply lose the excitement for life and dance. 

I lost it :( Hey I won't deny it because the whole point of me creating this blog is to be real and honest. I lost the feeling of being free to dance and move my body. I didn't feel comfortable to dance in front of people anymore and that is hard for me to admit because I used to dance on stage ..lol  so that's what happened ...I lost myself...

 

I know I had to do something...I am a strong woman! I will get my spirit back! I said to myself one day and I did!! How??? you ask... I jumped in... head first to my 1st Zumba class with my best friend, my mom<3  We didn't know any of the steps but we weren't the only ones and there were all different kinds of women and men of all shapes and sizes. I looked around and all my fears disappeared into the rhythm of the music and I knew at that moment I fell in love.  At the end of the class everyone was moving together like if we had been doing the same steps for years. Truly amazing.. as we stretched our arms up, I looked around and got goosebumps. 

Dancing is spiritual, it is what connects us to the elements. If you observe fire- it dances as the flames burn up. Wind flows through the trees (which is Earth) making all it touches move and dance with it. Water-if you watch the waves crashing into each other and the flow of it you can hear the rhythm of it's dance with the wind. So you see dancing is a part of our nature. Sounds deep ...huh? Well, that's the point :D So, do you want to burn fat, tone up and have a blast doing it??? One word ZUMBA!

 

I promise you won't regret it...Love, Peace and Zumba 

xoxo... Sfly

  

How To Be a Customer 4

Oh yes ...You knew it was coming sooner or later but please know when I post theses I do it with love:) but I must confess I hope that I'm successful in knocking some sense to these people (Tee hee)

Ok...
Here...
It is......

You know that back door at the store that you shop at (the people with the uniforms that work there go through it all day with merchandise and oh yeah lets not forget that the sign says 

EMPLOYEES ONLY!!!

I  have a question ....What do you do? Umm, I don't know!!... Walk in...No!! Right?? I mean come on people...lol Would you walk in the back room at Foot Locker !!?? Lol I wouldn't.. Common sense tells you to go to the front of the store and ask for help...like a normal person would. That's why stores have cashiers and intercoms....

True story: I'm in the back room placing an order over the phone.. A customer walks in and starts talking (while I'm on the phone), she yells, "CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE I CAN FIND THE HONEY??" If you know anyone like this please tell them this is not normal behavior! There's a reason why employees can go back there and customers can't.. It's called "Liability"

..Now if it was my store I'd take the sign down and replace it with this...

 I'm not trying to be mean or anything.. There is equipment that we are certified to operate, knives, palettes, fixtures, boxes stacked up..etc. So see, it really is for you and your safety.

Thanks for reading.. Spread the word and if you have questions feel free to comment..xoxo
