The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method – It Just Makes Sense

Do any of the following sound familiar?

I’m tired of going on a diet, reaching my goal weight, and ending up putting all those pounds back on a few months or a year later.  I’m tired of pushing clothes to the back of my closet with the hopes that I will fit into them again one day. I’m just plain tired of always feeling tired.

Many of us struggle with taking off and maintaining our ideal weight. If you have made any of the above statements at some point, then the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method may be the answer you’ve been looking for. The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method is unlike many other weight loss programs out there.

What is the Ideal Protein Weight Lose Method? 

The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method consists of four phases that have a beginning and an end. It is a medically derived weight loss method that is predictable, repeatable and measurable. The methodology behind Ideal Protein was developed by Dr. Tran Tieh Chanh, MD PHD, who spent much of his career conducting research on nutrition and the treatment of obesity. We know that our body uses carbohydrates as our first and main source of energy. Once our body has depleted the carbohydrate reserves, it will then use the muscles and fat for energy. By carefully following the Ideal Protein Protocol, your body will respond by using the fat as its primary source of energy, rather than carbohydrates first.

How does the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method make the body use fat as its primary source of energy?

This is achieved by carefully restricting carbohydrate consumption in the first two phases of the protocol, since it is often the simple and complex carbohydrates that prevent weight loss. With Ideal Protein, dieters not only successfully lose the weight, but they also learn how and why the body responds effectively to a carbohydrate-controlled diet. The third phase is the transitional phase, which will help dieters prepare for the final lifestyle phase. In this final phase, dieters will learn how to maintain and manage their weight loss while ensuring nutritional requirements are being met.

What makes the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method stand out from all the other weight loss programs?

With many weight loss programs, it’s all up to the individual to lose the weight. With Ideal Protein, you are not alone. You will receive one-on-one personal coaching to support you throughout every stage of your weight loss journey from start to finish. We all know how difficult it is to stick with any diet, therefore, the coach is there to help support you during your weakest moments. Your Ideal Protein coach will be with you through each and every phase as your resource and to cheer you on.

How do I know if the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method a good option for me?

Snoring?

Snoring is a topic that is well known to many of us and our spouses.  If you have tried all of the pillows, mouth guards and gadgets advertised, you may want to try these simple and effective suggestions so that you can get a really good night’s rest.

Here are our choices for the most effective essential oils for snoring. Sage, Thyme, Marjoram, Lavender, and Cedarwood.

Diffusers are really a terrific way to use the following essential oils at night time.

Sage Oil

One of the best things about sage oil is the effect that it can have on the respiratory tracts. It can relieve inflammation, while also helping to quickly soothe sinus infections, making it an effective solution for acute snoring that is caused by a temporary illness.

How to Use – You can blend 5 drops of sage oil in 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and rub it on your chest or neck before going to sleep. This can help clear out your sinuses while you sleep and boost your immune system against the underlying infection.  (Also, great for hot flashes 😊)

Another really great way to use this oil is to add 4-5 drops to your diffuser.

Thyme Oil

If your snoring often causes you to wake up multiple times per night, you may need to find a deeper level of sleep! Thyme oil is known to soothe the body and nervous system, leading to uninterrupted and deeper sleep, which is really important if you want to get rid of your snoring.

How to Use – Mix equal parts thyme oil with olive oil and apply it to the wrists and the bottom of the feet before you go to sleep.

You can also add thyme oil to your diffuser for use during the night.

Lavender Oil

This legendary essential oil can be used for everything from sleeplessness to cardiovascular problems and specifically addresses many of the causes of snoring. This oil is among the most popular natural remedies for snoring.

How to Use – Some people choose to place a few drops of this essential oil on their pillow at night to promote clear breathing and stress-free sleep.

Diffusing is one of the most effective ways to use this oil.  Add 4-5 drops into your diffuser before bed time.

Cedarwood Oil 

By stimulating both the immune and respiratory systems, this oil can quickly counter the factors that lead to snoring. It can reduce inflammation to keep the airways open and calm the mind to deliver higher-quality sleep.

How to Use – This underused oil can be blended with thyme oil, lavender oil and coconut oil then applied to the neck, chest, wrists or feet before bed.

Marjoram Oil 

This sinus-clearing oil has been wildly popular in traditional medicine for its ability to stop snoring – often after only a few nights of regular use. Armed with antioxidants and stimulating active ingredients, this oil is closely linked with treatment for sleep apnea, which is one of the main causes of snoring.

How to Use – Mix 4-5 drops of marjoram oil with 1 teaspoon of a carrier oil and apply it to the outer rim of the nostrils, or directly above the top lip. If that is too intense of an aroma, simply apply it to the neck and chest before sleep.

Travel Tip : Cindy Knows Travel

Most of us tend to stray from our normal healthy routine when on a trip, and personally, I’m okay with that. But when I’m en route to my destination, that’s a different story. On travel days, whenever possible, I try to avoid eating foods that make me feel lethargic and bloated. It can be difficult to fight the temptation to stop at fast food restaurants in the airport, load up on unhealthy treats to snack on mid-flight, or over-caffeinate to prepare for your trip. But all it takes is a little planning to avoid these common pitfalls so that you step off the plane feeling refreshed, healthy, and ready to start your adventure!

Benefits of Aromatherapy Jewelry

Aromatherapy can be so effective at helping you feel better that people have come up with enormously creative ways to take advantage of its benefits.

Catching Your Breath

Because breathing is an involuntary action, we rarely pay attention to the process. But did you know that how you breathe impacts your health? Deep nasal breathing can reduce stress, help you fall asleep faster, aid toxin removal, and lower blood pressure to a greater extent than mouth breathing can.
And did you know that your nasal passage serves as a biological air filter, humidifier, and air conditioner to cool the brain? So the next time you’re catching your breath, try deep breathing through your nose and note how much better you feel while going about your day.

Tubing Fun in Pinawa

Thousands flock to Pinawa each summer to enjoy tubing adventures that help them beat the heat and have some fun while floating along a lazy river. A great bonding experience for groups, tubing requires little more effort than some kicking when you reach the slower parts of the river. Without any stops along the way, your adventure will take you about two to three hours; however, stops give you the opportunity to explore the area a bit more. Tubing offers a unique way to see wildlife like deer, turtles, otters, and birds, as well as to enjoy the peaceful, natural surroundings.

Summer Fun for Seniors

Spending time outdoors is good for all ages, but especially beneficial if you are over 60 years of age. It increases our vitamin D levels, which helps fight certain conditions such as osteoporosis, heart attacks and depression. Go fishing with your grandkids, eat your lunch in the park, try your hand at gardening, go bird watching, play bocce ball or horseshoes, or catch an outdoor sporting event. Of course, you want to keep summer safety in mind. Summer can bring extreme heat that will increase the risk of dehydration, heat stroke, and other health risks, so be sure to practice safety first.

Balance Your Hormones

What does hormonal imbalance look like? Hot flashes, night sweats, pain, bloating, irritability, foggy brain, irregular cycle, and fatigue. If you suffer from any of these symptoms and haven’t been able to find relief, why not try balancing your hormones naturally. Biofeedback testing and treatment helps to detect imbalances and stimulates hormone-producing organs to balance the body. Another effective option is to get your body tested to see if it is lacking specific hormone-related nutrients. If you are, natural nutritional formulations can be taken to correct the hormonal imbalance and relieve your symptoms.

Lyme Disease in Manitoba

Lyme Disease is an epidemic here in Manitoba. Lyme disease is spread from deer ticks that carry a bacteria known as Borrelia Burgdorferi. This bacteria weakens your immune system, allowing diseases to enter the body. One way to improve your immune system is with Bioresonance Therapy. This therapy involves sending healthy frequencies into your body. These frequencies increase the body’s energy and consequently improve your health. Many people are infected by ticks, but don’t suspect Lyme disease because they don’t recall being bitten. In fact, 50% of people infected don’t remember being bitten and LESS than 50% of people will get the tell-tale bulls-eye rash.
