How to Have Portion Control on a Daily Basis Portion control is essential to master for a health and wellness. I'm often asked what to eat to lose weight and build muscle, my answer is always the same, to eat a small balanced meal every three hours to jump start the metabolism and balance blood sugar levels. Eating a small meal is just that - smaller portions. Often time's people go all day snacking without eating a nutritious meal consisting of lean protein, complex carbohydrate and veggies. By the end of the day when they get home from work they're ravenous and end up eating the entire pantry filled with sugars, preservatives and sodium.  Before they know it an hour of overindulging goes by then soon after painful bloating and indigestion kicks in. The body can only utilize and digest a certain amount of calories in one meal which is between 300 - 500 calories (depending on size and mass) then stores the rest as unwanted fat!

Thank you David Haas for sharing your passion and gift of helping cancer patients improve their quality of life.   I appreciate your contribution to my blog. ~Carol Whitaker Fitness Recommendations for Cancer Patients The National Cancer Institute provides a Factsheet on Physical Activity and Cancer. This resource defines the term physical activity as "any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles". It discusses the known relationship between physical activity and certain specific cancers for which this relationship has been previously studied, such as breast, colon, and uterine cancers, and indicates that there are ongoing additional studies regarding the relationship between fitness and cancer. In short, physical fitness is all to the good and generally reduces the risk of getting cancer, reduces risk of a recurrence once it is in remission, and improves quality of life for cancer patients who are still undergoing treatment.

Carol Whitaker SIX PACK ABS BY SUMMER! Who doesn’t want a noticeable six pack?   After all, we all have it, it’s just a matter of uncovering our beloved treasure.  Having a tight midsection is more than just sexy and attractive it’s a much healthier way to be.    When you are covered with a thick layer of fat around your midsection it will affect your health in several ways, diabetes 2 could be on the horizon, you could become insulin resistant, you will be sluggish and fatigued more, it interferes with sleeping patterns and you will be more apt to want to be more stationary rather than be active.

EMBRACE HAPPINESS!  "It is not by accident that the happiest people are those who make a conscious effort to live useful lives. Their happiness, of course, is not a shallow exhilaration where life is one continuous intoxicating party. Rather, their happiness is a deep sense of inner peace that comes when they believe their lives have meaning and that they are making a difference for good in the world."  ~Ernest A. Fitzgeral The secret to having a happy life is to love you unconditionally.  Think about it, how can you give your best to others if you are always putting yourself on the back burner?  How can you set goals and dream if you do not think highly of yourself or forget to set time aside to nourish your body, mind and spirit?  You can't it's impossible.  Just as a chef at a fine restaurant can't present his speciality for the day if he doesn't have the right ingredients.  

BODY TRANSFORMATION TIPS THAT WORK! Weight loss is an attainable goal for anyone who has the desire and determination to improve their quality of life.  Making the commitment to transform your physique can seem overwhelming for many people, they often think about what it takes to get in shape and feel it’s just too much for them to comprehend; resulting in giving up before they even get started.   You may be one of them, confused with the plethora of information available online in addition to all of the advice given by novice fitness friends trying to help you, which are ultimately just confusing you more.

LOVING YOU Do you love yourself unconditionally?   Do you think positively and speak kind words to yourself when you make a mistake.   Who do you see in the mirror looking back at you?    We all have our ups and downs, it's part of life.  I struggle time to time with keeping my spirits up, but when I feel down I know that it's my higher self reminding me that I'm off track to receiving and creating that which I dream for.  I quickly regroup and get back on track by choosing to be happy and to look for the good all around me.  I soon become my happy, optimistic self once more.

YOU ARE MAGNIFICENT “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ~ Maryanne Williamson Embrace all that you are! You are magnificence. You are perfection just as you are. It is your divine birthright to live life to the fullest each day by allowing yourself to ask a...

I begin by writing my short-term goals, making powerful success affirmations and creating a fitness plan to create rock hard abs and glutes - it all comes down to self mastery, willpower and discipline.
