Recipes While I Wait

Today marks the third month, second week and third day since ordering Ketopia at pre-launch. Due to the extremely HIGH demand, ForeverGreen SOLD OUT within 3 days. Circumstances beyond all of our control delayed the shipment several times. IT WILL BE WORTH THE WAIT. I see the testimonies from many people who were able to get theirs first.  I am drooling. Excessively.

SO while I waited, I ordered a 28 day supply of FIXX and Dough Bites. They came. Fast.

For the past couple of weeks I have begun to replace my cookie cravings with Dough Bites, a delicious alternative, zero carb cookie. I slather coconut oil or butter on it for a delicious treat.

Today, I tried for the very first, glorious time, what I call 'Keto-Coffee.' OMG!!!!You have to try this, Coffee drinkers! When the Ketopia order arrives, drink your ONE cup of  keto coffee BEFORE the KetonX.

KETO COFFEE (AKA BULLET PROOF)
2 TBSP grass fed butter
1 TBSP MCT or coconut oil
1 cup hot coffee (I use decaf; caffeine spikes blood sugar)
Blend on high until frothy.

I was not hungry after that so I waited several hours to have the FIXX.

(The FIXX is supposed to be consumed several hours AFTER the Dough  Bite, because the cookie has pre-biotics and the FIXX has probiotics). Prebiotics are the food stuff for the healthy bacteria called probiotics. I did not eat breakfast so it seemed 'off' to eat a cookie first! To the FIXX I added heavy cream and ice, then blended until smooth. Delish!

That's not me, but you get the idea. Image from healthcommunities.com

FIXX has guarana in it so it supports ENERGY! Oh and how! WOW. Thought I would come out of my skin a few times, I had so much energy. I felt frisky and playful and vocal. I am usually Dr. Mellow and Calm! As I worked on a project with another distributor over the phone, I lifted free weights. That helped. I can see I will have NO PROBLEM getting to the gym!


HOW TO PREPARE COOKED DOUGH BITE

Preheat toaster oven or oven. Open package. Fold Dough Bite in half and squish together. Drizzle butter, or coconut oil onto a pan. (I use my Pampered Chef Pizza Stone.) Place dough in center and put into oven. Watch carefully. Every oven is different so make sure you time it. When edges look crisp and center looks cooked, remove and let cool. This took 7 minutes in my oven. I flipped it over and let it cool on the stone. The longer it cools, the crisper it gets.

If you don't mind the EMFs and radiation, stick your folded over Dough Bite on an oiled up glass plate and nuke in microwave for 45-60 seconds.

After eating the Dough Bite and drinking lots of water, I was not hungry for hours. 

My husband is making dinner. I had my Dough Bite around 2 PM ish. I am just getting hungry now. THAT'S AMAZING!!  I am usually eating all day long. It's 8:06 PM. Tomorrow I will be mindful about eating every 3 hours.

That's my hubby. Great man.

I am even MORE EAGER to receive the Ketopia. It is on it's way from Utah. According to UPS, I should get it on Friday. Hang in there, baby, Friday is coming! Only 3 days away. I have waited this long. No problemo.

Ready, Set, Ke-TO-pia,

Mind Set Sabotage Success

Image found on an image search fromweightlossmatters.com.au
but this web site no longer exists.

 Anyone who is close to me knows that over the years I have lost and found the same 20 pounds over and over again.

The last fat loss journey came at the beginning of a harsh cold winter that also included both gym locker rooms in a state of "closed for remodeling." Well of course, I hybernated and did not want to drive on Virginia roads with those crazy southern drivers and chance wrecking. Besides, it was inconvenient to go work out, drive all the way home, then drive all the way back into the office as well. Those were my excuses. And I stuck to them. I slowly stopped eating all those foods that flipped my fat burning switch on. I not only watched (I DARED) the 20 pounds to return and they happily brought along another 5 pounds to boot.

What I did not realize then was I did not have the MIND SET to succeed. As I lost those fat pounds and got into a size 8, men were paying attention to me. Not that that has never happened before but I felt UNSAFE in my new body. And as a faithful body is so apt to do, (thank you, body) it put me in SURVIVAL MODE and I sabotaged my results.  When the pounds returned, the unwanted attention stopped. (what a relief!)

Fast forward a year and a half. I am happy in my skin, I am feeling love and gratitude and wear joy most of the time. And that same attention? Yeah. It's back. I see it has nothing to do with my body. It has everything to do what I PROJECT. And the projection of joy, peace and gratitude? IT IS ATTRACTIVE. It attracts smiles, attention, people. And that is OK (INTROVERT).

Now I know I am safe in my body. I also recognize that I only had a short term (3 months plan). When I reached my short term goal, I STOPPED DOING WHAT I DID TO GET THERE. I did not maintain it.

As a part of healthy fat loss, it is imperative to not only have a plan, and prepare for meals, it is necessary to exercise, including weight bearing exercise of some sort PLUS put on the proper mindset.

What are some of the healthy mindsets of healthy, fit people? A fit person does not fret over food all day.  A fit person plans to exercise, and then does it. A healthy fit person plans ahead for the meals for the day, especially if on the go, so fast food (name your brand) does not become a tempting option. A healthy fit person eats every 2-3 hours to keep blood sugar stable and drinks enough water.  A fit person ACTS and THINKS fit and healthy. Hence that is what they ARE. You are what you think.

I am so ready to begin this next fat burn phase. While I wait for Ketopia to arrive, I am strapping on a more  successful mindset. I am healthy. I am fit. I am safe in my new body. I will maintain my results for a lifetime. I can do this.

So can you. Take the 10-30 Day Reset Challenge with me. Let's do it.

Proven Benefits of Ketosis Besides Weight Loss

Grain Brain author, Dr. David Purlmutter, had this image on his web site. I liked it so much I made my own.

Not an exact replica, but it will do to make a point:

Ketosis has many proven benefits. Weight loss is just one of them.

According to writer and experimenter, Jimmy Moore, his experience with an extended ketogenic diet provided the following health benefits: Fat loss, appetite and craving suppression, ability to fast for extended periods, mental clarity, better sleep, blood sugar stabilization,  increased strength and ability to build muscle (with weight lifting exercise), reduced inflammation, and reduced C-Reactive Protein levels in blood, as well as help for his adult acne. ¹

Many of our beta testers of Ketopia** report many of the same benefits.

The National Institutes of Health has many studies published on ketosis, a ketogenic diet and disease states. One study, found at  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2716748/ indicates that ketogenic diets in obese individuals decreased not only weight, but Body Mass Index (BMI), total cholesterol,  trigylcerides, and blood glucose "significantly." ²

Dr. David Purlmutter, on his web page with the image above, has references to National Institutes of Health for the promising effect that ketogenic diets have on Alzheimers, Parkinsons, Epilepsy, Autism, Depression and Migraines. ³

As one can clearly see, ketosis has many health benefits. Losing weight is only ONE of them.

Muscle VS Fat: The Weigh-In

We have all heard the statement, "muscle weighs more than fat." Is this really true? One pound is one pound, right? What is actually meant by this statement is that muscle takes up less room than fat; it is more dense, it has less mass than fat.

This is why one person can weigh 160 pounds and look amazing and another person can weigh the exact same thing and look obese, overweight or out of shape, depending upon body fat percentages.

One pound of fat burns around 3kcal per hour. One pound of muscle burns around 10 kcal per hour.
Dieting and exercise may cause weight loss. But. make sure the weight you are losing is FAT not muscle.

Ketosis burns fat. Muscle burns fat.
Get off the carbs and build muscle.
Get on Ketopia's KetoniX for ketosis (in one hour of use, rather than 3 days of strict dieting). Take the 10 Day Reset Challenge. (Ask me how) Get to the gym and lift heavy weights. We cannot build muscle on the couch.
