I can’t believe the amount of calories in tonight’s salads! I could eat one of those as a starter. How can we ever be expected to eat well when the advertisers do everything in their power to confuse us. Please, if you are an expert in this, then help! I am 63 years old, I am extremely healthy, take all the supplements that keep me well but I am 21lbs heavier than I wish to be. I am the proverbial yoyo dieter, I am either brilliant or terrible, please let’s chat.

So, this is what I’ve done:

Doubled my dose of Maximol solutions  to give all those vitamins, minerals and trace elements that I have been losing with all the rich food and drink I’ve been having.

Doubled my Probiotic a performance formula that promotes optimum digestive health and helps immune function by supporting the growth of friendly bacteria.  With 2.88 billion viable* cells per capsule, this is one of the most powerful probiotics on the market. An effective way to readily aid digestive health and enhance the absorption of food and nutrients.

Decided to take Feelin’ Good for 7 days. This is an organic fibre supplement designed to help support and maintain a healthy digestive system and lower intestinal tract. Containing flaxseed, psyllium husk and slippery elm powders blended together with many other powerful ingredients to maintain and balance general health and well being that may also support colon health.

I have also been researching an advert I’ve seen on  TV for a product called The One Week Diet Program, it sounded good on the television but please do your own research before you purchase.

It costs £29.99 for 1 week or £155.94 for 6 weeks. When I checked the nutrition facts on their website I decided that Neways Maximol was far better value and I know it contains all I need to help with my feel good programme., along with sensible eating

Well here goes, I am now committed to my task as I have put pen to paper, if you would like to join me on this journey

then please just email me on janetdalby@btinternet.com and we can move forwards together.

. Good luck

I spent a little time reading the Daily Mail “All New Atkins Diet”, I’m not against any diet that you can stick to, feel well and lose weight. At least with Atkins you are eating good quality food, should never feel hungry and I’m pleased to see they’ve added more vegetables. It looks to me as if the second phase OWL (ongoing weight loss) is a sensible eating plan that you could do for a lifetime.

Please do bear in mind though that you need to take a high quality vitamin and mineral supplement whilst you are on this plan. As far as I am concerned we should all do this anyway. I’m sure everyone knows that the food we eat today is devoid of most of its nutritional value. Our vegetables are grown on land that has been overfarmed for many years and although farmers put back NPK to make the vegetables grow big and strong they do not add the vitamins and trace elements that are so important to us on a daily basis. Please have a look at Maximol I have been taking this liquid supplement for 10 years and have never felt healthier in my life. My energy levels are for greater than my friends of the same age (62 yrs) I suffer from no aches and pains and haven’t had a cold or flu for 10 years. I would never stop taking it. Take the time to listen to the video it could be your way forward to sustained energy and a positive outlook for 2009.

We all know that for some people 2009 is going to be a difficult year, but it’s not the challenges we come across that defeat us it’s our outlook towards them.  I cannot stress enough how important it is to engender a positive mental attitude. With this you really can conquer all obstacles. It’s so easy to see all the bad things going on. I have started sitting quietly and thinking of all the things in my life I’m grateful for: this quiet time is so important because I want to enjoy all the good things not keep worrying about the things I have no influence over. So now I change the things I can……and learn to accept there are things I can’t…. change.

Have a fabulous day, don’t beat yourself up if you make mistakes, take a deep breath realise you’re only human.

To do things wrong is fine, it’s only when you quit that you fail.

I am really hoping that writing this in my blog is going to make me think twice before over indulging as I’ll have to tell the world of my inability to keep on the straight and narrow!

The house is ready, the Christmas CD is playing the cinnamon candles are lit! we await the arrival of children and grandchildren, now shall I just have that glass of red? no I’ll wait til later.

If anyone else is out there ready for the festivities with 5 minutes to spare perhaps you’d like to add your comments and any tips on staying slim over the Christmas period or is it really an impossibility?
