Are your stress levels higher than your roof? Are you frustrated trying to figure out how to lose weight? Are you currently on the yo-yo’ dieting cycle? Are you an ‘emotional eater’? Have you ever wondered if your current ‘waist management’ problems have anything to do with how you are [...]]]> http://www.lindaallred.com/?feed=rss2&p=1330 0 http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1304 http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1304#comments Tue, 08 Jun 2010 11:00:59 +0000 Linda http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1304 Can’t lose weight? Tried everything and failed? Don’t feel bad - the entire American population is struggling to try to figure out the answer to this problem. Let me give you my opinion on this issue. Did you know that anyone can lose weight? Don’t believe me? All you need to do is zip your mouth and starve yourself for awhile and I guarantee you, you will lose weight. HA! The problem arises though when you unzip your mouth and go right back to all of your old, bad eating habits. Chances are you will gain all of your weight back plus more...]]> http://www.lindaallred.com/?feed=rss2&p=1304 0 http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1274 http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1274#comments Tue, 11 May 2010 20:45:31 +0000 jef http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1274 In this week's article, I want to pass along 8 ‘Don'ts" for you concerning managing your weight and overall health and well-being. 7 of these "Don'ts" came from Dr. Mitra Ray whom I heard speak at a International Juice Plus® Nutritional Conference with my added comments after the initial step. I can guarantee that if you follow them, you'll definitely end up being a very miserable unhealthy person! ]]> http://www.lindaallred.com/?feed=rss2&p=1274 0 http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1245 http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1245#comments Tue, 27 Apr 2010 13:57:46 +0000 jef http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1245 In 1990 when I was in my certification program studying to be a hypnotist, I was introduced to the work of Emile Coue. Emile Coue was born in Troyes, France and died July 2nd, 1926. He is most famous for his autosuggestion (Positive Affirmations/Self-Hypnosis) work. He taught people to say, "Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better" which by the way is the most powerful affirmation on the face of the earth. Coué often worked with patients to build what we would call today, their self-image or self-esteem. He did this by utilizing his "Law of Concentrated Attention." The Law of Concentrated Attention states that whenever attention is concentrated on an idea over and over again, it spontaneously tends to realize itself. That's where "every day..." came in. This is also how habits are formed. Do or say the same thing over and over again for 28 days and it becomes a part of you or a habit.]]> http://www.lindaallred.com/?feed=rss2&p=1245 0 http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1223 http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1223#comments Tue, 13 Apr 2010 13:47:41 +0000 jef http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1223 Omega 3, polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, saturated, transfats… wow! How is an ordinary everyday person supposed to keep track of all these fats and know which ones are good for us?]]> http://www.lindaallred.com/?feed=rss2&p=1223 0 http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1209 http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1209#comments Mon, 29 Mar 2010 18:38:34 +0000 Linda http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1209 Most of my clients ask me, “Why should I drink 6-8 glasses of water a day?” My answer is simple. The human body is made up of about 43% to 75% of water depending on your age, body fat etc., and water is needed to literally stave off dehydration. In fact, you can go without food for a month or two and still survive, but within 8 to 14 days, (depending on your current weight and environmental factors such as climate temperature), if you go without water you will die.]]> http://www.lindaallred.com/?feed=rss2&p=1209 0 http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1194 http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1194#comments Tue, 02 Mar 2010 14:13:33 +0000 jef http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1194 Are you stressed? Not enough time in your day? Your schedule in disarray? Too much worry, not enough fun? Do you feel like your life is spinning out of control? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are not alone. Sometime life does seem like we are running on a treadmill. Have you ever wondered if your excessive stress could be fuelling your bad habits like overeating, smoking, alcohol, or even drugs? Let me tell you what I think. ]]> http://www.lindaallred.com/?feed=rss2&p=1194 0 http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1144 http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1144#comments Tue, 16 Feb 2010 06:01:28 +0000 jef http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1144 As I watched my Sassy Mastermind friends climb that 35 foot telephone pole, I really got to see first hand “The Power of Belief.” Some were terrified that they could not climb much less jump off. Others had a firm belief they could do it and quickly climbed up the pole and jumped off. What made the difference between these two types of reactions? Let me ask you a question. Do you really believe your mind responds to your thoughts? Years ago, before I grew up to be a hypnotist, I sure didn’t understand how powerful my own thoughts were. I remember sitting in the hypnotist’s chair eager to learn how to deal with the stress in my life that was causing me to have anxiety attacks in the middle of the night...]]> http://www.lindaallred.com/?feed=rss2&p=1144 0 http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1131 http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1131#comments Tue, 02 Feb 2010 06:01:35 +0000 jef http://www.lindaallred.com/?p=1131 I know that traditionally Valentine’s Day has been the one time of the year that most of us women look forward to receiving gifts of chocolates or flowers from our sweethearts, but this year I’d like all of you, my valued readers, to take a moment and think about this.
