There is a simple solution to losing weight the right way and keeping it off. You must speed up your metabolism and turn your body into a fat burning machine. This is accomplished by stabilizing your blood sugar and creating homeostasis (balance).

Diets create deficits through deprivation and restriction- the opposite of balance. These deficits create unstable blood sugar levels and trigger low blood sugar responses. Low blood-sugar causes your body to go into a panic state in which it begins consuming amino acids (muscle) and converting it into the glucose (sugar) it needs to supply your body with energy (ATP). It does not stop there, in order to make up for the deficits, your body literally eats itself by also consuming bone, cells and cell membranes. In other words, it will take from the inside to get what it needs. This is why you have cravings and are susceptible to gaining weight back so easily because your body tries desperately to rebuild and make up for the losses. Even more seriously, after years of this type of self-cannibalism, your body first experiences various symptoms then eventually, often times, crosses the line into a serious condition.

Nutrition should be used to create internal balance. This is what separates maintaining stable blood sugar from dieting. When nutrition is used to create balance, the body is in homeostasis and will release whatever it does not need such as stored body fat, toxins and excess sodium. This state of homeostasis will also create a positive growth state in the body which promotes cell reproduction, energy, focus, sleep, stress management and increased muscle (where fat is burned).

On a personal note, I was also a victim of yo-yo dieting for many years and it wasn’t until I opened up to this more evolved approach to nutrition that I was able to finally be successful at maintaining my weight. I have maintained a 60 pound weight loss for many years now and my metabolism has increased to such a degree that I have to eat a lot in order to maintain my weight.

In a two hour nutrition consultation, I am able to educate you on how to accomplish blood sugar stabilization and homeostasis by teaching you how to combine specific food groups, with the right ratios (per your goals and activity levels) and in the right intervals. We then custom build and design a menu plan that is meant for your schedule and lifestyle. I share many different meal and snack ideas and help you create a final grocery shopping list.

My clients express how they feel like they are finally being led in the right direction and they are all amazed at how much food they are able to eat and how the weight drops off so effortlessly. Even beyond the weight loss, they celebrate how much energy they have and how their cravings begin to lessen. Inflammation leaves their body and as a result, aches and pains disappear. Now that the inflammation is gone, they discover their bodies are more flexible and agile than they thought. They feel young again and realize that at 40+ they can feel like they are in their 20’s.

When you begin eating this way for life, there won’t be any more New Year’s resolutions for weight loss or crash dieting two months before summer to feel bikini worthy. Instead you will be putting on your bikini and going down to the beach on Christmas Day (that was how I spent my Christmas and it was such a freedom).

Now is the time to put an end to the yo-yo dieting, heal your metabolism, slow down the aging process and feel empowered.

The Basics

There are a number of different styles of Hot Yoga being practiced, but all have the same thing
common. Each is performed in a heated environment. Hot Yoga studios will usually be heated to a
temperature of somewhere between 85-110 degrees, with a humidity level that can reach at least 50%.

This atmosphere is maintained throughout the whole of each session. But what are the benefits?

Hot Yoga Benefits

By practising is such extreme temperatures there are a number of naturally occurring effects on the
body. Muscles that are warm are generally more flexible. This enables practitioners to perform deeper
asanas, and this in turn will give them a greater range of movement over time.

Muscles that are used to stretching to a greater degree will generally be less prone to injury, and
accidental damage.

The hot environment will also cause practitioners to sweat profusely, and many believe that this helps
the body to clear itself of toxins, leaving the practitioner feeling healthier , and with a strengthened
immune system.

There are also weight loss benefits to this type of Yoga. Those who attend Hot Yoga on a regular basis
won’t just become stronger and leaner due to increased muscle presence, but also because the high
temperatures raise the pulse rate. This forces the body to keep thermo-regulation, and this in itself will
help you burn more calories.

It’s important to remember that the benefits from practicing Hot Yoga aren’t just physical. Yoga
is known to lower ones levels of stress and anxiety, and this form of yoga challenges the student
to concentrate and focus even in such extreme temperatures. This helps you relax, and detach your
conscious mind from any external causes of stress.

Many of those who practice Hot Yoga describe feelings of inner peace and comfort that stay with them
long after the session is over. There are also many who report being able to sleep much deeper and
more comfortably, in addition to being able to maintain high levels of concentration throughout the
day.

Contrary to popular belief, Hot Yoga is suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners alike,
and with so many physical and psychological benefits to be enjoyed perhaps it’s time you experienced
the joy and exhilaration of Hot Yoga for yourself.
