Creative Living Fit4Life - (S) Sexy (H) Healthy (E) Eating- How to Stay Sexy & Healthy Eating Delicious Food!

FOOD! The infamous "F" word
that makes you go crazy to get it & helpless when you cannot control it.  But what if you can eat Food, that not only makes you feel sexy but looks sexy too & promotes losing unwanted extra fat.... WOULD YOU LIKE TO 
  • Increase your energy?
  • Minimize sugar/starch cravings?
  • Feeling stronger & in control of your food portions?
  • SAY No more to boring bland tasteless food?
It’s not only possible, it’s easier than you think.! How? through a conscious method called S.H.E.
Sexy Healthy Eating!
   You’re reading this right now, wondering how food can help you look sexy & healthy when it has done the exact opposite for you.  Well, let’s begin to experience how to nourish your body properly & consciously. It’s time to stop putting off the saying, “This year I’m going to get into shape” and start implementing something that will actually get you results.

Sexy Healthy Eating is about helping you achieve a body you feel confident in by eating foods that don't spike up your glycemic levels. Many products have hidden sugars in them even the "healthy ones". That hidden sugar is in a form called HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP & MODIFIED FOOD STARCH.
In addition to being an ingredient in soft drinks, HFCS is in bread, granola bars, candy, liquid coffee creams, pancake syrup, fruit-flavored yogurt, sweetened cereals, some pasta sauces, packaged foods, and juices!




NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION LET'S BEGIN OUR NEW  
"5 (S's) S.H.E Rules"
  1. SUGAR BUSTER! STOP EATING FOODS WITH SUGAR (known & hidden)  -this goes for all foods that spike that glycemic level.  When your level is pumped up, you will store all the food into fat because your body is out of balance. So to get it back to balance avoid pasta, corn tortillas, bread, sauces, condiments (ketchup & BBQ sauces), breaded foods, juices, & some whole fruits and starchy vegetables such as corn, potatoes, cooked carrots, pineapples, watermelon, bananas & oranges just to name a few. You can find a complete list of HIGH-GLYCEMIC FOODS TO AVOID here
The enormous amount of HFCS in the American diet is UNREAL and it's put into products TO KEEP YOU ADDICTED to the product.  FOOD IS A BIG BUSINESS! If you continue to overconsume these products, studies have shown that these HIDDEN SUGARS in products induce high blood pressure, high triglycerides (a form of fat in the blood associated with heart disease), impaired glucose tolerance (precursor to diabetes), and insulin resistance & WEIGHT GAIN!   (OUCH) so how does that package of cookies, fruit-filled yogurt & juice look to you now!

The Glycemic Index is a measurement of how quickly a particular carbohydrate is formed into glucose and enters the body. The smaller the number, the less impact the food has on your blood sugar.
  • 55 or less = Low (good)
  • 56- 69 = Medium
  • 70 or higher = High (bad)
Look for the glycemic index on the labels of packaged foods. The Glycemic Index has shown certain carbs known to be "Complex" actually absorb quicker than some carbs known to be "Simple".The Glycemic Index (or GI) was originally brought about for those people who had Diabetes, but can be useful to many looking to get control of their body weight & image.

 You can find more info on the GI Index in the book GLYCEMIC INDEX FOR  DUMMIES 



But for now, YOUR NEW RANGE FOR all carbohydrate CONSUMPTION is limited to 54gr a day!   (This is the number you will see on the product labels) THAT'S IT NO ARGUMENTS!   READ YOUR FOOD LABELS!  You can take all the diet pills, drops, drinks & teas you want but if you don't consciously get a handle on the sugar going in your body, you are just wasting your money! Once you achieved your New S.H.E. Image, you can start to add more carbs back into your eating plan.


2.  SHOP THE "U"

When you get ready to do your grocery shopping, always start by shopping the "U".  You see, the grocery stores are set up in a way that mainly all fresh foods with a short expiration selling factor are showcased in the outer parts of the store, whereas foods that have a longer shelf life lasting months are tucked in the inner isles.  Shopping the "U" first guarantees that your basket is full of those healthier options that will add to your new sexiness!


3.   TIME TO DINE - Snack or Eat

Listen to the natural cues from your body, everyone is different!  Normally your body will signal to you for proper nourishment every 3 to 4 hours so be prepared.  Have on hand something easy to carry along in the car or purse if you are at the job or running errands!  REMEMBER NO SUGAR PRODUCTS & IF YOU DO SLIP UP, SUBTRACT THAT CARB AMOUNT FROM YOUR 54g a DAY. If you need to sweeten your tea, coffee, or even water try the different flavors of natural Stevia liquid drops! One drop goes a long way and your sugar level doesn't change!


  



4.  SERVE THE SKINNY
Now that you know what not to eat & why, it's time to correct our PORTION SERVING. I'm going to make it REALLY SIMPLE. Your meat portion should fit in your hand & YOUR GOOD CARBS (STRINGBEANS, LENTILS, GREENS BROCCOLI, etc.,) should be fist size which is like a cup. Most people aren't aware that vegetables are carbs too. Most have min natural sugar in them that doesn't spike the glycemic level so don't go crazy with portions on the GOOD STUFF it still adds up!

Food preparation helps as well. Taking the time to plan your food for the week not only saves money you would've spent at a fast food restaurant but it maximizes your efforts for your S.H.E. plan.  My friend Keesha who started the S.H.E plan, does her food
prep on the weekends and utilize inexpensive PORTION CONTROL CONTAINERS

 
to help regulate the amount of food intake.  It also helps when you are hungry, instead of reaching for something that is probably unhealthy, now you can just grab your pre-made delicious meal!

    Eating sexy & healthy means you don't lose the flavor, appeal, or taste.  These are key elements when revamping your eating habits.  This will motivate you to stay on track.  Now we are a diverse people & our ethnicities sometimes have an impact on what we eat & how we eat. Finding creative ways to tweak your favorite dish can be fun & exciting!

LOVE VORTEX - How To Keep The Sensuous Desire On Fire Years Into The Relationship!







     One shouldn't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out how to keep things hot between you and your bae, after being together for some years!

Sometimes, couples don't realize that underlying problems have led to a decline in joyful intimacy.  
     The most obvious are unfaithfulness, illness, or body changes.  All of these are on the surface however,  there are deeper hurts that both men & women don't often share upfront.

     Dr. Kat, a Human Sexologist & Certified Love Coach, shared that one must create an environment conducive to intimacy.  "Intimacy is the atmosphere (the emotional/mental environment) to which healthy and pleasure-filled sex is engaged. If either is off-balanced there may be problems in paradise. I, too, had to learn how to release the pain and feel the pleasure of loving – often, finding myself seeking love for the wrong reasons, with the wrong men.
 
I lacked loving examples of true/healthy love as a child and went on to repeat patterns that caused pain and unhappiness. I speak to and for women who struggle to articulate or communicate from their place of emotional, mental or spiritual alienation. Together we heal our spirit and learn to cultivate self-love before allowing that love to blossom and flow passionately to others". - 
Teleflora

     Most misconceptions on both sides are that women are ALWAYS READY AND MEN DO NOTHING BUT THINK ABOUT SEX!  This is far from the truth of the average person.  When one factor in work, kids, bills, or illness, you can bet that sex is last on the list of daily to-do's.

     So how can a couple keep the desire for each other going.... First, like any other thing that is built, you need a solid foundation.  In this case, our foundation would be "the environment of intimacy".  

     first, create safe mental areas between you & your significant other by establishing the feeling of being safe and loved; safe to communicate past pains or hurts so that they are no longer a hindrance; fearing being judged. 
      
     Next, sit down together and research remedies to enjoy sexual intimacy such as lubricants like K-Y Yours & Mine or the powerful natural male stamina VitalityXtra, if there is a physical ailment prohibiting the initiation or duration of sex.   
Playing games on Date Night such as "Fade to Black - Six Shades of Sexual Intimacy," will be a sure hit, in the right spot!   
Also, engage in foreplay throughout the day...EVERY DAY!  Now this doesn't mean that you have to "knock boots" every day, it just means to show your appreciation and love in verbal or nonverbal ways.

     Complimenting a woman's non-physical attributes combined with a nonsexual attribute goes far to a woman ie., "I Love the way you care about the needs of others, your open heart & beautiful smile is simply breathtaking."  for a male, appreciating his contributions combined with an abstract attribute and terms of endearment ie., " Honey I just love how you handled picking up the kids with your tight schedule, you are such a great selfless man with a sexy attitude to go along with it."

Everyone nowadays has a phone, so use it to create your safe, loving intimate environment. Text sexy, emotion-filled love notes....(notice I said a note, NOT A DISSERTATION) 
Be playful and release the inner poet inside!   The possibilities are endless!  Lastly, there is nothing better than the gentleness of the human touch.  You don't need words, gifts, or tricks!  Just simply a gentle touch, so soft as roses!

Enjoy the LOVE VORTEX!

HAPPY NEW JOB!!!!! Now hiring for 2024!


Happy New Year!  Happy New Job!

What a perfect time to start the new year fresh and focused on landing that new job. You may find yourself having to move your career in a different job sector but the end rewards are great and financially awesome!

This year, if it's your goal to change jobs to gain a different skill set instead of training at an institution or for a pay increase, then don't let fear stand in your way.

We as humans always moan and groan about how we want this and that, look this way or that way, be in love with him or her but fail to accomplish step 1 of reaching the possibilities of our desires... because we let FEAR come between that which we truly want to change, do or have.
Fear is just a belief we keep thinking about the self-imposed limitations we place upon ourselves.
If we just FOCUS our attention and intention on having what we want, the universe will diligently bring us our heart's desire in a perfect way.
