Diet - To - Go, healthy eating made easy.

I was given the chance to try diet to go for a week, and give a review. To be honest I have never been on a diet or food plan before, so I did not know what to expect. But I didn't expect it to taste like home cooking, and it did.
So many positive things to say about this company.
1. It comes right to your door, all packaged and frozen ready to prepare.
2. It is labeled for Breakfast, lunch or dinner.
3. There are 3 meal plans to choose from, traditional, low carb, or vegetarian.

I received the traditional low fat plan, 5 day, which is what I chose.
Breakfast was my first meal, (of course ) and I love how healthy it was.
Scrambled eggs w/spinach, asparagus and chicken sausage patty.
Very delish and filling.

I am a big soup fanatic, so I was very pleased with receiving some fabulous soups.
Sides also come with, rolls, yogurts, fruit, juices, crackers, the list is so long I will let you check their website for more.

ZOLA Water Review

Zola coconut water and acai/

First off I was hesitant with the coconut water, up until trying Zola ,I haven't met one I liked.













Zola changed my mind, I can't even explain how refreshing it was to drink it for the first time after a long run, it was so delicious!!

I am now for the first time a coconut water drinker, and not only does it taste good but it is so good for you.
When you look at the ingredients you read, coconut water, that's it, not some words you can't even pronounce, no added sugars or flavors or food colorings. All Natural.

I also tried the Organic ACAI juice.
All Natural and organic really stood out for me, I love being able to know exactly what I am eating or drinking. Zola makes it easy.
I usually make my own juices, its not a beverage I buy in stores because of what they have in them.

 
Now this is a juice I will definitely by and tell others about, it tastes great, its refreshing, and is very thirst quenching.
I feel good knowing I am drinking healthy, organic, good for me products.

Here is some info on what you get from coconut water/
Coco-Hydration™ Each Sip Offers:
  • Delicious and fresh taste
  • Supports natural hydration
  • Essential electrolytes: potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium
  • 100% Natural & Delicious

  • BPA Free Can
I am sure you would like to try Zola for yourself, I will put their website up for you to click on and order your own.

ADHD

Does your child or loved one have ADHD?

Would you consider natural treatment to meds?

Although experts aren't quite certain why it occurs, ADHD affects 3 to 5 percent of school age children, causing symptoms such as inattentiveness, anxiety, and forgetfulness.
Kids with ADHD typically respond to meds designed to calm and focus, but some of these drugs carry unpleasant side effects, such as appetite changes, and muscle spasms.
You don't need to rely solely on meds to alleviate this condition.
Consider natural options to compliment your childs treatment plan.

Up Omega-3s
Childrens diets should contain omega-3 rich foods such as chia, hemp, nuts, and fatty fish.
Try Magnesium, also known as a calming mineral. Low levels are associated with restless legs, anxiety, and irritability.
Boost B vitamins, they are important building blocks for brain neurotransmitters such as serotonin, and dopamine.

Give up gluten, avoid processed foods.
High fructose corn syrup and artificial colors such as yellow, blue and red, are linked to hyperactivity in children.
Choose whole real foods like whole grains, vegetables, fruits and organic meat.

Lead by example.
Model the behavior you want to see in your child, for example if your child is not allowed to eat in the living room, the rules should apply to the whole family.

Set boundaries.
Rather than offer kids unlimited choices, give them two or three options. This will help them feel safe.

Work with Teachers.
Some children with ADHD might have trouble fitting into schools, when speaking with your child's teacher use words such as partnership to obtain healthy cooperation.
Teachers have a whole classroom to deal with, not just your child.
If you address them with respect and understanding, your child will benefit.

I do not personally have a child with ADHD, but I have researched this with a feeling that the foods we eat can have a lot to do with it.

Let me know if this has helped you in any way.

Zaggora hot pants review

Zaggora hot pants/

I was luck enough to recieve a pair of  Zaggora hot pants, and have to say......when I first pulled them out of the package I was surprised at the material. A little thick, and I thought how comfy will they be to workout in?
Well, let me tell you, they are so cozy you practically want to sleep in them. They offer a great amount of warmth which helps you in the process of burning calories, and getting a good sweat on.
And very soft.
I have worn them for 2 weeks now, which is the time they ask to notice a difference in inches/weight.
I have lost 2 inches off my waste, which I did not expect to happen.
I am so happy with the Zaggora brand I will be ordering more pieces, they also have longer leggings, and tops.
Here is more info on why this product is so amazing, and I will leave the link so can order your own.

How It Works

Our research shows that the use of a Zaggora top and bottom (“Zaggora Hotwear”) during exercise, at an appropriate level of intensity and while remaining well hydrated, may help to increase both body temperature generation and the rate of calorie burn.
During 2011 and 2012, Zaggora commissioned research on Hotwear from ETScience, based at the University of Southern California, USA ("ETS Study"), and from the Chelsea School of Sport, University of Brighton in the UK ("UB Study"). Altogether, more than 120 women took part in the studies.

During exercise

Both studies confirm the finding that exercising in Zaggora Hotwear can increase calorie burn.*
The UB Study tested 13 subjects in Zaggora HotPants and 13 in standard exercise clothing and found that exercising in HotPants can increase energy expenditure during exercise by an average of 11%.
The ETS Study first tested 30 subjects in Zaggora Hotwear and 30 subjects in standard exercise clothing and found that exercising in Zaggora Hotwear can lead to a statistically significant increase in energy expenditure as compared to standard exercise clothing: 6% on average and up to 18% depending on fitness level.
When testing a group of 10 subjects exercising at a constant speed, data revealed that subjects in Zaggora Hotwear burned 9.7% more calories than subjects in standard exercise clothing during 30 minutes of exercise.

After exercise

The UB Study found that if Zaggora HotPants are worn in resting recovery after 30 minutes of exercise, they can lead to a 12.5% increase in energy expenditure in the 30-60 minutes after exercise.
Heart rate and exercise intensity
During exercise
The ETS Study found that subjects exercising in Zaggora Hotwear had to exercise at a 3% lower speed and 23% lesser incline to achieve the same heart rate range as subjects exercising in standard exercise clothing.

Heat and safety
Both the UB Study and the ETS Study found that while an increase in heat generated by the body did occur while wearing Zaggora Hotwear, exercising in it is safe since core body temperature does not exceed acceptable exercise induced elevations.

And her you go to shop http://zaggora.com/store/

Let me know if you wear Zaggora, and how it has worked for you.

New to essential oils

My review of doTERRA essential oils/

Here I am new to using essential oils, I know many people that use them, I  just felt there wasn't a need for me.

Well......until I was contacted by this company to give their oils a try, I was asked what I would like help with such as aches and pains, stress, digestive problems, etc.
I felt I didn't have an ailment needing any help, but then I thought I do have a hard time sleeping throughout the night is there a oil for that, and she said she will send me something to help with that.
My Package came with not only the recommended oil for sleep but also 8 other bottles to sample, and let me tell you the aroma of these oils are wonderful.
The first night I did use the oil she gave me to relax, it was a citrusy
smell and I dabbed it behind my ears before bed.
The oil is called Wild Orange
It did put me in a more relaxing mood, the scent just drifted in and out, not too powerful or intense.
I use it before bed now, and I do believe I am having a better night sleep.
And they have so many oils to choose from, to relieve almost any ailment you may have.
I will leave you with some information on them and the link for you to purchase your own Essential oils.

Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. They can be both beautifully and powerfully fragrant. If you have ever enjoyed the gift of a rose, a walk by a field of lavender, or the smell of fresh cut mint, you have experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. In addition to giving plants their distinctive smells, essential oils provide plants with protection against predators and disease and play a role in plant pollination. 
Essential oils are non water-based phytochemicals made up of volatile aromatic compounds. Although they are fat soluble, they do not include fatty lipids or acids found in vegetable and animal oils. Essential oils are very clean, almost crisp, to the touch and are immediately absorbed by the skin. Pure, unadulterated essential oils are translucent and range in color from crystal clear to deep blue.
Try this at home: Squeeze the peel of a ripe orange. The fragrant residue on your hand is full of essential oils.
In addition to their intrinsic benefits to plants and being beautifully fragrant to people, essential oils have been used throughout history in many cultures for their medicinal and therapeutic benefits. Modern scientific study and trends towards more holistic approaches to wellness are driving a revival and new discovery of essential oil health applications.
dōTERRA (CPTG) Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils represent the safest, purest, and most beneficial essential oils available today. They are gently and skillfully distilled from plants that have been patiently harvested at the perfect moment by experienced growers from around the world for ideal extract composition and efficacy. Experienced essential oil users will immediately recognize dōTERRA's superior quality standard for naturally safe, purely effective therapeutic-grade essential oils.
