TAIslim Eight Easy Steps to Boost Metabolism and Lose Weight.

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

TAIslim is working incredibly well at helping people lose weight. In the short 3 weeks or so since it was introduced it I continue to hear daily dramatic stories of how it is helping people who have struggled with weight problems to lose weight.

I can’t begin to tell you how good it makes you feel when you hear the emotion in their voice as they are so excited to be losing weight without having to be on a diet they know they can’t maintain.

I have for you below some information and tips help you lose weight even faster with TAIslim weight loss.

If you want to lose weight, you want to increase your metabolism. A faster, more efficient metabolic rate can make losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight much easier. Fortunately, improving your metabolism doesn’t have to be hard. There are several small, simple things that you can do every day that require almost no effort than can truly jump-start your metabolism and, over time, keep it at a desired level.

1. Drinking water has been shown to temporarily increase the metabolism and help the body burn extra calories. It is theorized that this is mostly due to the fact that the water absorbs body heat, and the body must then work to replenish the lost heat. Because of this, it is also theorized that drinking cold water can help you boost your metabolism even further. In one study, drinking water was shown to burn extra calories from fat in men and women.

2. Did you know that as you lose weight, your metabolism naturally slows down? This means you have to consume less calories as you lose weight to maintain that new, slender you. Of course, this doesn’t have to be a problem. The perfect way to combat this metabolism-slowing effect is to build muscle. As you burn fat, you want to make sure you are replacing it with lean muscle. Lean muscle helps to increase your metabolism by burning extra calories. – Even when you are just sitting. These muscle-building workouts are also more effective at increasing your metabolism than cardio or aerobic workouts.

3. Eat enough food each day. While cutting back on meal portions is a great way to lose weight, taking it too far can hurt your metabolism. Skipping meals like breakfast and fasting sends signals to your body that you aren’t eating regularly. As a result, your body responds by slowing it’s metabolic rate – after all, it can’t be sure how much food it’s going to get. To keep your metabolism strong, eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day, and never skip breakfast.

4. Not only are a lot of sugary foods absolutely loaded with calories, sugar can actually cause your body to slow the metabolism down and store extra fat. This is why avoiding sugary foods as much as possible is key to maintaining a fast metabolism.

5. It might come as a surprise to learn that getting enough sleep every night plays an extremely important role in the functioning of your metabolism. Studies show that those who get enough sleep each night, preferably between 7 and 8 hours, are consistently thinner than those who are lacking or deprived of sleep. Your muscles also rest and regenerate in the last few hours before awakening, so this is another factor in why sleep is so important to your metabolism.

6. Fend off unnecessary stress. Stress isn’t only unpleasant, it’s unhealthy and it slows your metabolism way down. The belly is the worst area possible to accumulate extra fat, and as you may know, stress triggers fat storage in this unhealthy place, putting you at a higher risk of heart disease. It’s unrealistic to think you can always avoid situations that cause stress, but with a little bit of time management, you can find ways to relax and take your mind of things that are getting to you.

7. For a while after consuming spicy foods, your metabolism is increased. While spicy foods may not be a permanent fix for a slow metabolism, they are a great way to burn calories in smaller, shorter bursts. Studies have shown that eating spicy foods can increase your metabolic rate by as much as 8% for a while after consuming them. Spicy foods are also heavier on your stomach, leading to feelings of fullness quicker. – This helps in maintaining portion control.

8. You don’t have to be a gym buff to increase you metabolism. In fact, just getting up and increasing your activity level just a tiny bit has been shown to boost your metabolism. – Things like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, parking your car a bit farther out in the parking lot. These activities probably wont cause you to break a sweat, but your body will be, on a consistent basis, getting more exercise.

When boosting your metabolism, remember – it’s all of the small things coming together that really make it happen. You don’t have to change your life to get a healthier body or a higher metabolic rate – you simply have to do smaller things that stimulate your body to burn more calories.

How to Find a Nintendo Wii Fit Video Game – Christmas Present

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

If you’re looking for a Nintendo Wii Fit game good luck. Actually all is not lost. Nintendo has done it again with purposely limiting the supply of this game. After all does anyone actually think Nintendo actually had a shortage of DVD’s and cases? These things are like sand in the ocean.
The balance boards I suspect they easily could have upped the product runs by 3 – 4 times.
All of this is conjecture and doesn’t help you come Christmas Morning.

That said there are some things you can do to secure that prized gift of a Wii Fit under the tree come Christmas morning.

First many of the major department store websites have a dot.com internet version (ie Sears.com) Sites like Kmart, Wal Mart, Target, Best Buy, amazon.com, Circuit City, Game Stop, Toys R US, Game Rush, Fry’s or outpost.com, Fred Meyer, Sams Club and EB Games.

Many of these sites allow you to enter your email address to be notified when the game comes in.

Also you can call Nintendo USA there telephone number is 1-800-255-3700. I was able to call them and a helpful lady was able to direct me to a local Game Shop store which I was able to run over to and get the last one they had in stock. For me Game Stop seemed to be the one store most likely to have this in stock.

Of course there is always Ebay if you feel like bidding on a Wii Fit.

What does the Wii Fit do?

  1. There are balance games like Ski Slalom, Ski Jump, Heading a soccer ball and more.
  2. It allow you to Aerobic activities like the hula hoop, running and stair steps
  3. Then there are yoga activities
  4. Also a number of strength training activities
  5. Plus it gives you feedback on how you did the various exercises like -how you balance and posture were.
  6. Plus much more.

I think you will really like this exercise video game.

So why are even so interested in the Wii Fit? Good question – I think it’s because we see it as a way to have fun doing something we know is good for us. Even more than that most of us are looking to lose weight or at least keep ourselves in shape and not gain weight.

In that regard a couple of products that fit right in with the Wii Fit lifestyle. These are GoChi –Goji Juice and the Chi-3 Energy Drink.

The GoChi –Goji Juice product has been proven in peer reviewed clinical studies to improve energy levels, increase athletic performance and over 17 other proven benefits.

The Mental Pain of Being Overweight, Be a Weight Loss Hero.

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

The mental pain of being overweight is certainly real. Chances are real good that if you’re reading this you are overweight or know someone who is. For someone who is not over weight it can be hard to sympathize or understand what overweight people go through. Perhaps understanding the pain these overweight people go through will help those of us who aren’t overweight be better able to support those we care about.

Plus to those who are overweight just knowing that there are people out here who care about you gives you something to draw on in the area of support.

I recently spoke with several severely overweight people, the following are some of the mental pains they felt due to being overweight.

  • Overweight individuals said they often felt in public that people stared at them, which made them feel uncomfortable.
  • Overweight people said they often felt ashamed for themselves – that felt their family, spouse and kids were ashamed of them because of their size.
  • People who considered themselves fat said that they don’t fell sexy and even feel ugly to the opposite sex.
  • Overweight women especially lack confidence and have poor self esteem and women especially don’t like their spouse to see them undressed.
  • Then there is the pain of their clothes fitting to tight and the pain especially with overweight women of shopping for clothes.
  • Then of course overweight people have told me they sense people are whispering behind their back, which of course just further damages their low self-esteem.
  • Fat, overweight people obviously tend to overeat, which makes them feel guilty about eating, which tends to depress them, which leads to further over eating and a vicious cycle of gaining weight.
  • Overweight people feel the major discomfort of feeling extra hot and miserable during the summer.

Then there is the pain of potential health issues.
Overweight people tend to worry and stress about their health. They often have low energy and shortness of breath. Certain activities like walking can be a real chore. Overweight people often have pain or discomfort in their joints especially their knees and their back because the extra weight they carry is adding extra stress on the knees and back.

The point is this is not about just about identifying the mental pains associated with being overweight so we can feel sorry for overweight people.

This is about helping those we care about finding a solution for maintaining a healthy weight. This could be in the form of exercise, treadmills, exercise equipment, weight loss supplements or whatever works in a healthy way.

A major factor why people don’t lose weight is lack of exercise and to a lesser degree the wrong types of exercise. For example a brisk walk on a treadmill can cause your body to go into the fat burning state called ketosis better than running.

Muscle mass in also very important in maintaining a healthy weight. This is why purchasing any number of the exercise machines on the market to do light resistance exercises is so effective in losing weight because it helps you add muscle mass. This doesn’t have to be massive amounts of weight, even light resistance amounts of weight can be effective at adding muscle mass contributing to weight loss.

This is why men and women who use an exercise machine in light resistance exercises 2-3 times a week for 15-20 minutes almost always lose weight when they combine this with their weight loss program. This has been our observation over the last 13 years or so.

Lack Energy Feel Sluggish? GoChi Goji Juice Energy Drink.

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008


Can you imagine what you could do with a little more energy? Perhaps you could get a little more work done, spend some more time playing with your kids, power your way through a workout at the gym, or perhaps just do something fun. Sounds appealing, doesn’t it? Well, the sad fact is that although many of us may have the best intentions, we simply run out of gas.

A lack of energy can have many causes. The U.S. National Institutes of Health tell us that these can include anemia, depression, sleep disorders, bad nutrition habits, diabetes, or a sedentary lifestyle. Certain medications may also cause a lack of energy, including antihistamines for allergies, blood pressure medicines, sleeping pills, prednisone, and diuretics.

Low energy can affect you in some important ways that you may not have considered. It can rob you of focus, and that can often lead to mental lapses and bad decision-making. Your work may suffer, too, as low energy steals the momentum you need to meet deadlines, arrive on time for meetings, and reach project milestones. The most successful people in business are those who can recognize an opportunity and have the ability to quickly seize it. With insufficient energy, the parade could pass you by, and you might not even know it!

Here are some great lifestyle tips that can help you to fill up your energy tank and improve your productivity:

  1. Get more exercise. If you’re feeling tired, you might be surprised to learn that a walk may be better than a nap for boosting your energy levels. Any kind of physical activity will help to burn fat and increase your metabolism, and exercise will also improve your mood, helping you to feel more energized. In an important recent University of Georgia study, researchers found that sedentary people can increase their energy levels by 20 percent and reduce fatigue by an amazing 65 percent just by doing regular low-impact exercise. In another study, the same researchers found that the energy benefit from exercise was even greater than the improvement from using prescription stimulant drugs!
  2. Take control of your health issues. Be sure to see your doctor if you have high blood pressure, thyroid problems, diabetes, or other energy-depleting medical conditions.
  3. Sleep under comfortable conditions. Good quality sleep is essential for maintaining your energy reserves. Make sure that your bedroom is quiet, dark, and at a cool temperature that will promote healthful, deep sleep. Also, it may be time to replace that creaky mattress and lumpy pillow. Your energy levels will thank you!
  4. Drink 4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi every day!

GoChi™ – Participants in groundbreaking clinical study report experiencing significantly increased energy levels in just 14 days!
In a recent human clinical trial featured in the peer-reviewed Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (JACM), participants drinking a daily serving of just 4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi reported experiencing significantly increased energy levels and reduced fatigue in as little as 14 days! Researchers also noted that the GoChi drinkers reported improvements in sleep quality and an easier ability to awaken in the morning. The publication of our study by the independent experts of a peer-reviewed publication such as JACM represents a first for a functional juice beverage in the Direct Selling industry, and it demonstrates FreeLife’s ongoing commitment to supporting its claims with solid scientific research.Here’s to energizing your life with GoChi!Your FreeLife Science Team
