Eat Your Way To Weight Loss
There is a common misconception that you have to starve yourself to lose weight. This is simply not true! Actually, you must eat to lose weight. It is the Glycemic index that can help you determines what happens in your body. Let me explain. Your body needs glucose, which is a form of sugar, and is the main fuel for the body. The body is constantly trying to maintain blood sugar levels and it is the carbohydrates we eat that turns into glucose which goes directly into the blood stream to feed all the cells of the body. Glucose is the only fuel your brain uses and it is the brain that uses more energy than any other part of your body. If your blood sugar goes down, it starves the brain and a wide variety of symptoms can occur such as feeling weak and sluggish, drowsy, dizzy, confused, headache, irritability, trembling, rapid heartbeat, and even anxiety and panic attacks. Carbohydrates alone do not make a healthy body. We need a balance of protein, carbohydrates, fat, water and exercise to maintain health. The biggest difficulty that we have with weight problems is over indulging in high glycemic foods. These are the foods that contain too much sugar or foods that are refined carbohydrates. If you over indulge in carbohydrates, (which produce insulin) then the excess glucose gets stored as fat. You can counter that by eating protein with it, (which produces glucagons). Glucagons promote the utilization of fat to be used for energy. Insulin and glucagons in balance maintain normal blood sugar levels. A body in a high insulin state promotes excess stored fat and disease. The foods that are high on the glycemic index are foods such as the root family, potatoes, carrots, parsnips, yams etc. If you want to eat potatoes then I’d opt for the yams or sweet potato (without the honey and brown sugar). They are the lowest on the glycemic scale. Also rice, pasta, corn, most breads are high on the scale as well as some fruits like bananas, apricots and pineapple. Some low index foods are vegetables such as broccoli, the lettuce and cabbage family, various beans, dairy and for women, soy. I would also like to make a mention about fat. Fat in itself is not the bad guy. Our diets need fat to remain healthy. Fat provides fuel for the body plus it helps in the development of cell membranes and hormones and also helps to insulate our bodies. Fat in our foods is what gives us that satisfied feeling. You don’t need very much fat intake. Stick with good fats like olive oil, flax oil, coconut oil and stay away from saturated or trans fats. Portion size is very important. The rule to remember is; if you have approximately 3 oz. of protein and you have a high index carb, then eat only 3oz of that carb. It is a one to one ratio. A protein and a low index carb would be 3 oz of protein and 6 oz of carb. It is a 1 to 2 ratio. Eat 6 small meals per day in the correct ratio this will assist you in your dietary needs to lose weight. Also don’t forget water, water, water and make it your new favourite drink. Enjoy!

Weight Loss – Windsor, Ontario
This is one our society’s greatest struggles. I was watching some old reruns from the 60’s and 70’s and was surprised to see that most people were quite thin. Not just the actors but people in crowds and public places. So what happened? It looks like a lot of things have changed all around us. What people eat as well as lifestyle seems to be more obvious as the cause. There really are many different variables that have directly impacted society and how we live. It still comes down that in order to lose weight and keep it off there has to be a lifestyle change. This is the key. People often tell us they are too busy to eat real meals and drive thus are convenient. Too busy and too tired to exercise yet most tell us they want to.

The weight loss program of Body and Mind is unlike any others because of all the things it incorporates into it. The weight loss system involves increasing metabolism, removing cravings and changing your thoughts about food. Isn’t this what weight loss should be all about?! So how is this done? There are varieties of techniques that we tried and tested until we were finally able to come up with something that was effective and was not a diet. The problem with diets is that the very word diet means to go without. The brain cannot process a negative so if I tell you NOT to think of a pink elephant, you MUST think of one. So, if you can’t eat something the focus will be on that very food! However, if you don’t feel like eating that food no one can talk you into it. This is because your ideas are always the best! We have developed a very unique process with cool light laser applied to various points on the body to stimulate metabolism and also to help in diminishing cravings. It is relaxing, calming and pain free. To change the thoughts about food we need to change thoughts and thinking. This is done through hypnosis. Hypnosis Weight Loss has been proven to be effective when done through a program with an experienced hypnotist. Rick Saruna is Windsor’s leading hypnotist. He is also a hypnosis instructor able to certify anyone interested in learning hypnosis. By working directly with the subconscious hypnotic processes help change thoughts and thinking about food.

Less Stress Helps Reduce Weight
“I eat when I’m stressed.” Sounds familiar? This is a popular line among people who experience daily stress-triggers such as office problems, family tensions, and relationship dramas. However, the problem doesn’t end in stress-eating. It was discovered that you’ll store more of what you eat when you are experiencing stress. According to a study conducted by the Ohio State University, “Women who experience stress 24 hours before eating a high-fat meal showed the higher levels of insulin an hour after they ate than women who experience less stressful day.” Insulin is a hormone that helps the body store extra calories as fats. Too much of this hormone can cause the body to burn lesser calories in every meal. According to the study coauthor Martha Belury, Ph.D., R.D. that would add up to at least 11-pound weight gain over a year. She added: “Stress hormones, like epinephrine and cortisol, are a major determinant of how many calories you burn at rest.” This study shows the importance of having a less stressful lifestyle in reducing your weight. Having stress is inevitable. You can’t control stressful events. However, you can always manage how you handle day-to-day stress. Enough sleep, healthy food, vitamins/food supplements, and relaxing activities like a body massage can help relieve you of daily tension. Body & Mind helps with emotional management and hypnosis. Using hypnosis removes stress and helps change thought processes. Emotional management will help to remove stressors and triggers that lead to unhealthy eating. Body and Mind uses hypnosis because it allows a natural relaxation response in the body and everyone that is willing can be hypnotized. Mind Clinical Director Rick Saruna states that many people chase weight as the issue when in fact it is the stress that often causes the weight. This is why he always includes stress reduction in all their weight loss processes. Emotional release therapies he uses are both hypnosis and non-hypnotic. It depends on the situation and the individual. For any situation where weight is ongoing one should look at the stress factor. Even if they think they are not stressed there could be underlying triggers that only a trained emotional expert can uncover and remove. It is of utmost importance to find someone that specializes in weight related issues. Rick Saruna of Body & Mind Windsor has been working with stress-related weight for over three decades. According to Saruna: “Many people that are stressed have a weight issue and they do not recognize its stress induced because it has been there for so long and those that know they are stressed have come to accept it. This is the real issue in many weight cases,” . Body and Mind is Windsor’s Best when it comes to weight-loss and stress related issues.
