D-E-T-O-X Your Body and Feel Better!

It’s that time of year again, you know, the sun comes out more, it’s spring and summer is just a stone throw away. Beaches, bikinis and boating weather are almost here. So what’s a gal to do if she wants to drop some of those last minute unwanted pounds and how does she get rid of all that water gain, extra pounds and unhealthy fibers within? If you're considering a detox diet it's important to know what to expect. Detoxing can improve your health. However, they're not easy. Detoxing can be a very big challenge. Whether you're undergoing an extreme cleanse or a gentle detox diet, here's what to expect:

#1 Headaches.

Headaches are a very common side effect of a detox diet. It's generally attributed to withdrawal. Make sure that you are prepared for this as they can really take a lot out of you, especially if you are like me and susceptible to migraines.

For example, if you regularly drink a few cups of coffee in the morning and suddenly you stop drinking it, you may experience a headache. Your body is accustomed to the regular consumption of caffeine and will go through withdrawal when it is no longer present.You can experience withdrawal from sugar and foods that act like sugar in your body as well. Any detox diet will eliminate junk food and high glycemic foods. If you're accustomed to eating them you'll likely experience a headache.You can reduce the effects of the headache by making sure you're well hydrated. This flushes the toxins from your body. Also, headaches can be caused by dehydration, which is also a common side effect from a detox diet. Drink a lot of water or tea.

#2 Diarrhea.

Yep you heard me correctly. You’ll have the shits...A LOT! Diarrhea is the nice way of putting it mildly. This is caused by a number of things. When you detox you're intentionally influencing the release of toxins from your tissues so you can purge them from your body. They are expelled from your body when you go to the bathroom and when you sweat. You'll likely go to the bathroom often as your body eliminates toxins. You may also experience diarrhea simply due to the detox products or foods you're consuming...so do be careful and think long and hard about what you are putting in your mouth and what reaction it can cause...

For example, if you're drinking a detox tea or taking herbs then you are promoting a laxative effect. Also, if you're juicing then you'll likely be consuming much more fiber than you're accustomed to which can cause diarrhea.

#3 Insomnia.

Often the first few days of a detox are a bit disruptive. Your body is adjusting to your new eating habits or routine. This can cause a bit of insomnia. Pop a good movie in the DVD player or Blue Ray and plan on staying up for a while until you feel tired. Your sleep pattern might get all mixed up so quite honestly, I find that it's best to try to detox over a weekend when you can grab naps throughout the day and not get overtired.

#4 Mood Swings and Irritability= CRANKY!

It's very common to feel quite moody/cranky when you're detoxing. Not only are you dealing with the stress and emotional issues of not being able to eat normally, you're also purging toxins from your body which can cause hormones to become temporarily imbalanced. Not to worry, when the detox is over you'll feel ten times better and your systems will have essentially 'reset' and you’ll be back to your old self soon!

#5 Renewed Energy, Vitality and Mental Clarity.

Once the detox is over most people report feeling fantastic. They have more energy. They have more mental clarity. They are also better able to manage stress and lose weight. Once your detox is complete, and even prior to completion, you will likely begin to feel quite wonderful. This is because the toxins have left your body and you're regaining your health.

Detoxing can be difficult. Depending on the detox plan you've chosen and your detox goals you may experience a few side effects. Many people report that the benefits far outweigh the temporary side effects. Detox smartly!!!!

Diet and Exercise = A Healthy Sexy YOU!

When asked what one does to their waistline to get it to look real buff...that's a two part answer: diet and exercise! No one said it would be easy to shape up, if it was, everyone would be tone and skinny. Without these two ingredients, weight loss won't occur and you won't get in shape. It doesn't take a lot to spend hours working on the waist but if you call the local pizza delivery for a loaded greasy everything pizza because that workout tired you out and increased your appetite, you just defeated the entire purpose. The most successful programs to shape up the body address both exercise and food intake to increase the odds of success. 

When you’re talking about slimming the waist, there will be some measure of fat reduction involved and that requires exercise as well as the proper diet to fuel your body and avoid empty calories that lead to more fat. You can see that in order to get the best results you need address more than one area; hence the exercise and diet approach. When you exercise and eat right, you feel so much better about yourself, and you become a happier you!

Thinking about diet, there’s not really a need to go on any specific diet to see results. Simply maintain a healthy diet that incorporates plenty of vegetables and fresh fruit as well as adequate protein and unsaturated fat. Might I suggest also keeping a food journal to track your meals and exactly what is going in your mouth and body every day? This can be a powerful tool to identify problem areas and cravings, and it's a great reminder of what we ate leaving us a good idea of where we still need to be. Don't you want to feel and look healthy and sexy?

If the answer is yes, then the next questions is this- "What is good to eat and what should we stay clear of?" One thing you may want to avoid while working on the waistline is too much fiber. Since fiber is bulky, it fills the stomach up faster but it can also lead to bloating. To have the flattest stomach possible, avoid eating too much fiber without pairing it with plenty of water or fresh fruit to help move it through the system. Also cut back on sodium to avoid bloating from water retention. The typical adult diet contains more than 3500 mg of sodium – that's over one thousand milligrams more than the recommended daily allowance. Smart people will cut back on sodium not just to avoid bloat but to decrease risk of high blood pressure and kidney disease. 

You’re eating healthy and keeping a daily journal to track your food intake. Now what? It’s time to think about cardiovascular exercise! There are some cardio exercises that are better than others for toning, but if you have fat around the middle you need to lose that first before concentrating on toning and shaping the muscles of the middle. Excellent activities that promote weight loss are swimming, brisk walking, and interval training. Swimming is among the highest calorie-burning activities because of the way the water supports your body. Since your muscles don’t have to split attention between keeping your frame upright and moving you forward, they will expend more effort (calories) in propelling you through the water. Swimming is also great because water requires a greater effort to push against it and move forward, requiring greater effort from muscles. Thus you burn a larger amount of calories and fat. 

What else can you do that is good for you? 

Did you know that brisk walking is also good for burning calories but try to stay away from flat surfaces and instead walk in hilly areas that will surprise and challenge your muscles. You duplicate that effect by using a treadmill that has an adjustable incline. Some treadmills have programs that replicate walking in a hilly area and adjust the incline throughout the workout to strengthen and tone more than one area. Include arm movements with your walk and you boost your heart rate and metabolism, firing more calories in the process. I have been told that interval training is a good choice as well because of the amount of calories you can burn during a workout. It can incorporated with brisk walking whether you’re at the gym or on the street; simply make sure your strength training equipment is nearby so you can switch from cardio to strength training quickly and easily. 

Burn the fat away from your middle and you’re halfway to having the waistline of your dreams. Every woman wants to look and feel sexy especially in a bikini or in sexy lingerie. Let's get started now and you'll be on your way to a better shaped YOU! The last step of the successful waistline shrinkage program is to work the waist with toning exercises. Performing sit-ups is a time-honored method of firming the stomach but won’t really make your waistline any smaller. Ummm, how about the hula-hoop? Now that will work your waistline for sure. A lot of women enjoy belly dancing. It is also great for slimming the sides and can burn a fair amount of calories, but don’t let it take the place of your regular cardio workout. Cover all your bases with diet, exercise and toning, and before you know it your waistline will be something sexy to look and and talk about! When you feel good on the inside, you look good on the outside!

Shopping for the 'Right' Man?

 Shopping for clothes isn't easy so why on earth would we think that shopping for a man would be? Have you ever tried really hard to meet the 'right man' and all you ended up with was the wrong one? A little over 13 years ago I walked away from a marriage with two kids, a pocketful of memories and my dignity. That was enough for me. I wanted my kids to know that love was not about drinking, or fighting, rather passion, romance, love and kindness. Forgiveness and learning from one another to grow and create a better bond regardless of the length of time committed in a relationship was what I discovered to be the success of staying together. Unfortunately, I learned a little too late.

Self-esteem plays a big role in healthy relationships. Sometimes when we walk away from something good that turned sour over a period of time causes us to lose confidence. I have experienced this in my own life. It took time for me understand who I was and what it truly was that I needed when I started over. I had to rebuild my own life before I could try to find a mate to make a good life with.Yes, I have had failed relationships, sure I have...and I have also had so many that never actually got of the ground...and like you, I asked myself why, why why?

My question was quite simple- What is the reason that I seem to end up picking the wrong person so many times? Well, after years of doing this I realized that I was not ready to find the man for me. My grandmother who was also my best friend always told me that it was all about timing, and paths crossing at the right time. My dates never lasted long. They either did not understand what it was like to be a single mother and raise kids, or they didn't have kids themselves or they didn't like kids...and that was the end of the beginning because I always said that if you liked me you had to like and accept my children because we were a package deal. This was the reason that I had to walk away, and I had every right to do so.

I was like the runaway bride. I found fault with each and every man I dated, enough so to walk away from the beginning of an ending relationship that never really had the opportunity to get off the ground. My daughter told me once that I looked for ways to sabotage relationships and you know what? She was right! That was exactly what I had been doing all these years. It wasn't until a short time ago that I realized it was time to stop. It was time to focus on finding that one man that understood me, and accepted me for me. Where on earth would I find him?

 So how do you recognize the right guy? The first step is to articulate what you want and need. That list is different for everyone. But the second list is universal. And that’s a clear understanding of the qualities of a healthy relationship. I look at good men and what they do for a living....NO not because of what they make, rather how they work under pressure and how hard the work for what they want. I love a man who is an overachiever, much like my own personality, so it is not at all uncommon for me to want the same in a man with the goals and love for life that I have. Enjoy your time with a man who is interested in you, the good and the bad...that means the perfections as well as the flaws.

 Don't waste your time on a guy who doesn't make the effort. Yes, I believe in women being able to ask a guy out, flirt with them, etc. You can start it, but if he doesn't seem like he wants to finish the race, give it up and move on to the next contestant. We seem to invest our feelings way too soon, they we get hurt when a guy doesn't respond the way you want them too. If someone asks you out and you have a great time, but they don't make the effort to arrange for a second date within a reasonable period of time, assume that they are not that interested. Find a man who stands out, one who makes the time for you, and allows you to enter into his world. Most men that truly do care will share with you their feelings and chain of events that led up to where they are today and why they are in the dating scene. Look for a happy, clever, positive man with a zest for life, respect for himself and especially one who shows respect for YOU!

 Here's how I look at it; A good businessman knows how to go close the deal. Ask any guy, if they truly want something, is there anything that would prevent them from obtaining it? Would they just give up if it seemed to hard, no because they love a challenge. How about the guy who is really nice, but not your type who is always trying to get your number. He's determined. His goal is to get your number and take you out. And he will keep trying unless you tell him that your just not interested. As long as he thinks he has a chance, he will keep trying. This is what I mean by saying that if they want something, they will do whatever it takes to get it. The same is true with dating and relationships. If a guy is truly interested in you, he will make the effort to get a date with you. Like shopping for clothing, we often have to try on a few new outfits before we find the one that fits just right.

How to tell you are with the right man;

1. You bring out the best in each other, not the worst. You encourage each other to grow personally, professionally and emotionally, recognizing that change is positive and healthy.
2. You trust each other and can count on one another to do the right thing. There’s no jealousy or second-guessing in the relationship.
3. You have fun together. Playfulness adds spice, and laughter is an aphrodisiac.
4. You share common core beliefs and values. Connecting on an emotional and spiritual level can be just as powerful as a physical connection.
5. You communicate with each other out of care and concern instead of judgment and criticism. Think about it this way: What’s your tone of voice like when you’re critical and judgmental? It’s hard to have a harsh tone when you speak out of care and concern? It should be a happy tone, caring and compassionate. You should be able to tell him/her anything. Communication is KEY and without it, your foundation will sink, leaving you with no relationship, only your legs stuck in quick sand.

My non-professional advice? Embrace life. Good things come to those who wait.

Delicious Coconut Crusted Crab Cakes

 I love crab cakes so I thought that I would share with you one of my favorite recipes;

Ingredients

• 1 pound crabmeat, drained, picked clean of shell, lightly squeezed if wet
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, both green and white parts
• 1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
• 2 teaspoons peeled and grated fresh ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, plus 1 cup more for dredging
• 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs, plus 1 cup more for dredging
• About 6 tablespoons peanut or canola oil

For serving:

• Sweet chili sauce
• 4 lime wedges

Directions

Lime Dipping Sauce, recipe follows
Put the crabmeat in a large bowl and add the mayonnaise, scallions, bell pepper, ginger, salt, and pepper and gently combine using a rubber spatula. Add the 1/2 cup coconut and 1/2 cup panko and gently fold in. Divide the mixture into 8 mounds and form into patties about 3-inches in diameter and 3/4-inch thick. Put the patties on a large plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 30 minutes or longer.
When you are ready to fry the crab cakes, combine the 1 cup of coconut and 1 cup of panko in a shallow container. Lightly dredge the patties in the crumbs, shaking off any excess. Put 2 large nonstick skillets with over medium high heat. Add about 3 tablespoons of oil to each pan. When the pans are hot, place 4 patties in each pan. Turn the heat down to medium and fry the cakes until golden and heated through, turning once with a spatula to brown both sides, about 4 minutes per side.
Transfer the crab cakes to plates, serving 2 to each person, accompanied by ramekins of sweet chili sauce and lime wedges.

Lime Dipping Sauce:

• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 teaspoons chopped cilantro leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped lemongrass, tender white part only

Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl.
Yield: about 1/2 cup
