Many people ask me how I can be married to a French chef and not weigh a ton. I’ve actually lost 30 pounds since we met — with zero effort. This is true. We eat as much as we like. We try to exercise but don’t get to the gym often (Too busy!). We often indulge in pastries, and we love good wine and craft beer. Still, we are both fit and happy with our bodies, and we achieve this easily. People ask us all the time how we do it. It’s kind of a secret formula, if you will. And we want to share it with you. We can’t reveal it all (not enough space!), but here are our 10 Habits For Staying Fit: 1. Enjoy food.  Food is a lot of fun. We have family dinners. We bring variety to the dinner table and try new ingredients or cuisines. More importantly, we never restrict ourselves; life is too short for that. 2. Stay active.  Nothing strenuous! Just parking your car away from the grocery store, taking a walk with the kids after dinner, or taking the stairs instead of the elevat...

When my glucose levels are high, the emotions I feel are far and reaching: from mild despair to total frustration. But the emotion that I have learned to summon to tackle high glucose levels effectively is patience. There are always a few exceptions, but in general, I find low glucose levels a bit easier to deal with than high glucose levels: just knock back a few glucose tablets and call it done. Of course there are many other frustrations with low glucose such as I may have to lay across the couch for ten minutes to optimize the rate at which perspiration is steaming from my body, but in general, I can move on quickly. For me, high glucose levels seem to take so much longer to deal with. It takes so, so, so very long for the insulin to work. Sometimes a high glucose can stay around for 6 to 8 hours. And it’s so frustrating! At first, there’s optimism. It’s just a number, right?! The number is just a piece of information that I use to manage my diabetes. My approach is to t...

According to the American Journal of Dermatology 90% of women suffer with “lumpy legs”... I’m talking about cellulite :( Dimples on the butt, thighs and hips. It’s completely normal, yet these these lumps and bumps can cause many women to feel embarrassed by the appearance of their hips, butt and thighs. So… Rather than cover your legs up for eternity I  wanted to give you 3 simple ways to hide that pesky “orange peel” skin… 1) Tanning This is a simple fix that many women use to reduce the appearance of cellulite and it works well because cellulite is more visible on lighter skin than it is on dark skin. However, I recommend self tanning over sunbathing because overtime the UV rays can actually weaken your skin making it less resilient, which can actually make cellulite even worse. 2) Massage The idea here is boost blood flow to the hips, thighs and butt which will help get rid of toxins and reduce extra fluid that may be stored in the area causing cellulite to look w...

One large egg contains about half a gram of carbohydrates, so it’s thought that they aren’t going to raise your blood sugar but one large egg contains nearly 200 mg of cholesterol. High levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream also raise the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. So monitor your cholesterol levels because diabetes is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. that means if you cholesterol level is maintained it is okay to take eggs but avoid taking it daily to avoid any risk  and about coffee,  I love coffee. Tastes so good and make me feel good. Caffeine is the most popular psychoactive drug in the world. And the way most people get it is through coffee. When you drink the coffee, the caffeine actually hijacks your brain. There are receptors in your brain meant for a chemical called Adenosine. And adenosine is what actually makes you feel tired, but when you drink caffeine, the caffeine takes control of those receptors and doesn’t leave any room...

YAY! August is here, and not a moment too soon... → And we’re celebrating in the most magical way! July was intense. There’s no ju-lying about that. A heavy  double eclipse, Mercury retrograde and a 9 Universal Month  to boot. This chaotic cosmic configuration may have stirred up some (ok, a lot of) unresolved inner challenges, abundance blocks, and unexpected emotions that put your forward momentum in reverse last month. Thankfully, that all came to an end yesterday as we said sayonara to July and rise and shine to a powerful surge of transformational Universal energy that will last all month long! August, 2018 is a  19 Universal Month  (8+2018 = 8+2+0+1+8 = 19). In numerology, 19 is the powerful Karmic Number of transformation and new beginnings. It represents a beautiful harmony of  explosive 1 energy , the number of inspiration and fresh starts, with  healing 9 energy , the number of release and moving on. The heaviness that weighed y...

KUALA LUMPUR, June 26 — Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, 66, may face criminal charges alongside her husband, former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak who is suspected of embezzling funds from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). Citing a plethora of unnamed sources including local investigators into the 1MDB scandal, family members and associates of the couple who were once Malaysia’s most powerful, the US publication reported that Rosmah is seen as having played a central role in the alleged misappropriation from the sovereign investment fund. “People who know Ms Rosmah say she helped orchestrate the alleged involvement of a young Malaysian financier who the US Justice Department says helped set up the 1MDB fund and then oversaw its looting,” the WSJ wrote in an article published yesterday. It named the financier as Low Taek Jho, the 36-year-old Penang-born fugitive billionaire, better known as Jho Low, who is wanted by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) as one of the...

If you see this plant in your backyard, burn it immediately! You’ve probably already seen this in your backyard, but you didn’t know how dangerous it was… My advice: burn it or spread salt over it! If you see this plant in your backyard, burn it immediately!  If your grandparents knew more than we can even imagine about what plants to steer clear of and which plants to use for medicine. Today we’ve lost their wisdom and we will pay the ultimate price when our unsustainable medical system collapses. But if you’ll give me just a few minutes of your time I’ll show you how you can treat your whole family using only simple backyard weeds

Have you ever been talking to a girl and she RANDOMLY insults you? You know that feeling you get when you realize that she is actually rejecting you RIGHT HERE and RIGHT NOW? Your stomach jumps into your throat, doesn't it? Or when you walk up to a chick and she puts you on the spot by demanding you to do stuff for her? "Buy me a drink..." "Wait here while I go to the bathroom..." I do. And I remember when I didn't know how to respond in a way that would actually make her CHASE me instead of reject me. It was like everything was riding on whether or not she smiled when I said 'Hi' or if she made that who-the-hell-are-you face when I said 'Hi'. I want you to know what I learned to say that gave me the power to turn any response from her into a smile. It really made it all *click* for me. She'll be awe-struck when you respond to her secret 'test' with the things I say which I've tested, and are proven to work on...

I’m sure you’ve been told that drinking more water can help you lose weight, however... I think we’ve all gone a bit overboard. Here’s what I mean Nowadays you see people walking around with their own gallon water jugs... And next time you’re in a meeting at work, look around and see how many people brought water with them even though they’ll only be away from their desks for 30 minutes tops Obviously water’s important, but you don’t need to drink 3 gallons a day or "hydrate" every 5 minutes. Now, what you probably haven’t been told is a NEW "red water" that actually helps your body burn more belly fat every single day, here’s how ? See, a recent Harvard study showed that 80% of men and women over 40 have a digestive defect that makes it nearly impossible to burn belly fat, and It all has to do with your "digestive bile" which breaks down food you eat and shuttles it to your muscles and organs to be burned up for energy. However, because of th...
