Spring Break is only the beginning of the season

I hear it more than once per day: "I need to lose a few pounds to wear my bathing suit this year!" . This is a loaded statement. To lose those stubborn pounds you need some radical changes. These changes are best done slowly to minimize stress on the body and your mind. Here's where you start: eliminate some key ingredients from the food you eat, exercise more and take supplements that will compliment the changes you are making. Ingredients that should be avoided are typically the ones found in packaged goods (the ones you've all be warned about). High fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, white sugar, white flour, aspartame, acefulmae K, sucralose (splenda) and artificial colors (they'll wire your mind and then drop you hard!). Exercising a minimum of 30 minutes 4 days per week. Supplementation should match your dietary changes and exercising. Take a good multi vitamin/mineral, geared for your gender. Take your fatty acids (fish oil, flax or a combo). Pick an antioxidant (like astaxanthan) to offset the oxidative stress from increased activity.

After you have made the commitment to change,  make sure you stay motivated. Remember you goal! Set your intention and keep it! If you get distraught don't hesitate to ask for support. Jessie , here at Clear Conscience, has helped numerous people get to where they want to be. She's not a pusher of diet products but knows the ones that could give you the edge.

Now... get started!!   :)
