5 superfoods for weight loss

Second Time Winner & Smashing All Her Goals! The first time we heard Catherine’s story, she was desperate to lose weight for her holiday and to not need a seatbelt extension. She was truly at her lowest and heaviest, but now her life has changed and we had a chat with her to find out what she’s been doing and how her holiday went! Before Catherine discovered The New You Plan, she felt like she was never going to stop gaining weight. When she looked in the mirror all she saw was a “fat mess.” She was fast approaching her 50th birthday celebration and was dreading it. Her birthday plans included a trip to New York but she knew that the 9-hour flight would be uncomfortable weighing as much as she did, and she felt ashamed that she would need to ask for a seat belt extender. It was these feelings that motivated her to make changes in her life so that she would look forward to her flight and not need an extender. She found her why and pushed herself to find something that wou...

Part 1: Is Alkaline Water Beneficial?   In recent years, the popularity of alkaline water has the population wondering if it’s more beneficial to drink than the other available options. Most signs may point to yes, but why? What makes a bottle of water advertised as “alkaline” better for you than a simple glass full from the tap? As long as you’re hydrating with water and eating plenty of raw, plant-based foods throughout the day, it shouldn’t matter what type of water you’re drinking, right? Not necessarily. “The optimal water is free from pollutants, fluoride, and chlorine, and has sufficient nutritional minerals in it to make it passive rather than aggressive,” stated our very own Dr. Michael Donaldson, Ph.D., in his research. Before we dive deep into the alkaline water debate, let’s first get an understanding of what your options are when it comes to drinking water. In Part 1 of our series, we’ll learn about alkaline, structured, purified and mineral waters. Alkaline water ...

What Is CBD Oil? The lowdown you’ve been looking for on CBD oil. What it is, how to use it, and my best recommendations.  The so-called mood-boosting CBD (cannabidiol) oil has been popping up in everything from food products to supplements, lotions, and more. So what exactly is CBD oil, what are its benefits, and how do you use it? Let’s talk about the basics of CBD and learn how you can incorporate CBD oil into your routine, or not. What Is CBD? Let’s break it down — CBD is a phytocannabinoid derived from two varieties of the cannabis Sativa plant: hemp and marijuana. The main difference between the two is that the CBD oil in hemp comes from the large stalks and bark of the plant and has very little traces of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive chemical that causes a “high” feeling or mind-altering effects. It’s also worth noting that hemp has much greater CBD content than marijuana. CBD oil from hemp has less than .3 percent of THC, so there’s no psychoactive compo...

Getting the Max from Your Grocery Bill One of the best ways to get the most out of each bite of our fresh produce is to blend it. We receive up to 80% more nutrition when we blend rather than eat our salads. 1 That means, we get a whole lot more for our money! With the price of groceries, why not get the maximum benefits from your dollars? The best blended drinks are NOT smoothies packed with sweet fruit. The best blended drinks focus on leafy greens and other veggies. Some fruit may be OK, but we must be careful not to overdo fruit, because the sugar content can get excessive. Even natural sugars can cause harm when over-consumed. The Hallelujah Diet has always promoted vegetables and fruits. . .but emphasized moderation of the fruit portion. The new recipe book, Less is Enough , asks us to examine the fruit portion in our smoothies. Does your palate call for dessert flavored blended beverages rather than savory veggie combos? The purpose of the book, Less is Enough , is to point...
