Eat Right! Hello Carbs
Who hasn't been tempted by no-carb diets?
They seem to work, and they yield results quickly. But what about those of us who can't part with fresh-baked bread or steaming rice?
I don't know about you, but I'm not willing to give up all that good, nutritious food that quickly! Plus, breads and cereals can add important fiber to your diet and give you energy to keep going! We all need those benefits!
I've learned that you can eat carbs and still lose weight. You just need to make good choices and watch your portion sizes. Here are some seriously healthy carbs for you to experiment with:
Whole-grain bread
Whole-grain or legume-based pasta
Whole-grain cereal
Barley
Quinoa
Brown and wild rice
Oatmeal
Popcorn
Sprouted grains

Cook Up Some Chowder Today!
This Bacon and Clam Chowder is such a great soup to make on the weekend. It can serve a dual purpose: as a delicious starter for Sunday night dinner and, because you'll have enough left over, as someone's lunch or late-night dinner later in the week. If you feel really industrious, you can double the recipe and put half in the freezer; it'll come in handy some night a few weeks from now, when you've completely run out of energy. Add some salad and a crusty whole-wheat roll and dinner's ready!
Bacon and Clam Chowder
Ingredients
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 celery stalks, coarsely chopped
2 large red or yellow bell peppers, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 ounces Canadian bacon, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
3 cups chicken broth
12 ounces new potatoes, cut into chunks
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
1 1/2 cups water
12 littleneck clams, well scrubbed
Preparation
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, bell peppers, and black pepper. Stir well, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the Canadian bacon, garlic, and thyme; increase the heat to medium-high, and cook and stir for 5 minutes, or until all the juices have evaporated.
Add the broth and potatoes; cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir in the tomatoes and wine (if using), cover, and simmer for 5 minutes more. Remove from the heat.
Bring the water to a boil in a medium skillet over high heat. Add the clams; reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook, stirring often, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the clams open.
With tongs, transfer the clams to a bowl, discarding those that haven't opened. Line a fine-mesh strainer with damp paper towels. Pour the clam broth through the strainer into a glass measure, leaving any sand behind. Add the broth to the soup. Reheat if necessary.
Remove the clams from their shells and chop coarsely. Add the clams to the soup; reheat briefly, and serve.
Makes 6 first-course servings.

Will Smith & motivation for your perfect body
I've noticed that a lot of people lack motivation to get themselves into shape... some clients I've worked with over the years are extremely motivated and work their butts off, while others just want a "quick fix" and whine and complain about working hard.
I don't work with whiners and complainers. Whiners = losers.
I recently heard a quote from Will Smith, an actor who I admire greatly for his hard work ethic, both in the gym and in his career. It went something like this:
"I will NOT be outworked. Period... You might have more talent than me, you might be smarter than me, you might be sexier than me, you might be all of those things. You got it on me in nine categories. But if we get on the treadmill together, there's two things: Either you're getting off first, or I'm gonna die. It's really that simple."
-Will Smith, on his work ethic
Yes! Now THAT'S the way to get motivated! You gotta love it.
He was obviously talking about much more than just working hard during exercise... this was about life... but if you think of that quote before you go to the gym, you'll be ready to get yourself one ragingly good workout!
It's about WAY more than just mindlessly going through the motions in your workouts... it's about getting in the mentality that you're working to be the best you can be, and that you are unstoppable!
It's about visualizing your body being as lean & mean as you want it to be... and your health so vibrant and energetic, that nothing is getting in your way to achieving everything you set out to achieve.
Like I've said a thousand times before, true lifelong fitness starts in your mind... and your training and nutrition follow once your mind is in the right place.
Share some motivation with your friends and family and fwd this email on to anyone you think will enjoy it.
Til next ezine issue,
Don't be lazy... be lean.

Reward Yourself With "Me" Time!
Sometimes staying motivated requires a little incentive. Hey — there's nothing wrong with that!
The next time you get through a really tough workout, beat your previous running time, or follow your healthy-eating plan flawlessly for a straight week, give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back — do something special that's all about you!
How about a day of pampering? Get a fab new haircut, a mani-pedi, a facial, or a massage. There's no need go to an expensive spa! Ask your mother or a friend to let the kids stay with her overnight, and spend an evening soaking in a tub filled with lavender-scented essential oil. Then dive into that novel you've been meaning to finish.
If you're close to your ideal weight, shop for some new clothes to fit your incredibly shrinking body! Or reward your hard work each month by picking up a new fitness accessory (a medicine ball, say, or a pedometer) or a kitchen tool to help you prepare all those good-for-you meals.
You can even while away the hours by taking a stroll around your neighborhood, checking out your town's Main Street boutiques — and making a pit stop at that low-fat frozen yogurt place that just opened up!

Lose Some Serious Weight
To lose some serious weight, you have to go to war with your usual way of eating and put on your fatigues of getting through your day differently by changing the game.
Changing the game means that you have somehow got to shorten stresses and other over bearings so that you can lose some serious weight. You lose that serious weight by ripping up and forgetting the way you have been eating for most of your life if you have been overweight most of your life. Getting serious about your weight means that there is absolutely no reason and no excuse for you to reach your weight loss goal. You are in it to win it because now, finally, you are serious about losing some serious weight.
More of the same eating habits will mean more of the same daily increase of pounds and right now you seriously want to lose weight. You are at war with the excessive pounds that stand in the way of you doing physical tasks and draining you out of your much needed energy. The excessive pounds are your enemy blocking you from having a healthy lifestyle.
You have to change the game and imagine yourself in a war with yourself to eat the right foods that are good for you and to exercise daily. There is no one keeping you from getting really serious about your weight loss except you. If you arean adult and most likely you are, a parent is not telling you to clear your plate or rewarding you with getting a perfect score on a test with a trip to the local ice cream parlor.
As a kid, you could play those pounds off if you won't sedentary. As an adult, you need to reward yourself with a trip to the gym to lose a few more pounds. Now that is an incentive that would work in your favor; that is rewarding yourself for any job well done by getting more physically fit. If you want to be serious about losing weight, you would not reward yourself that same way a child is rewarded.
You have to admit that you are in this battle alone and to win it you have to change the game and implement a new strategy of attack on a overload of unnecessary calories. You must look at the adversaries which are the millions of ads that are almost screaming at you to buy their weight loss product because of claims that you can not win the battle your way.
There is only one way to get serious about your weight loss and that is to realize that you are in this battle alone and that you are in it to win it. Disregard the ads and get right to what you need to do to get lose some serious weight.
Support groups of weight loss clinics are great, but where are all of these people when you have spent your hard earned money on the program and you are at a restaurant with no clue of what to eat. The foods on the glossy menu are not on the program that you just spent your paycheck on? Are you supposed to only have water with a lemon on the corner of the glass because surely you can not partake of the menu entrees and be serious about your weight?
That is why to be serious about your weight loss program, you need to go it alone. It is going to be tough but losing weight is tough anyway, right. If you are in it to win it then why would you be yo yoing up and down the weight scale depending on what the latest weight loss report revealed.
Those people who participated in the weight lost report did not include you. If you have been in a weight lost program, you basically know the good foods and the bad foods. You know what exercise you are accustomed to doing and will most likely to maintain. Change the game and get serious about you weight loss by implementing any of the weight loss activities that have worked best for you and stay with it.
If you digress, that is okay because for the few days that you stayed on your weight loss plan, would have reduced your calorie intake count. Do not give up on your weight loss plan and just go on an eating binge because you got off of it the one day that you could not decide what to eat at the restaurant.
Get right back on the serious side of losing weight.
Only you can decide to get serious about losing weight. There are scare tactics when talking about health but these are usually rationalized away and are not useful because basically you are listening to what others are telling you. Most people rationalize that these ailments only happen to other people even if it is not true.
Those scare tactics did not make you get serious about losing weight because all you need to do is look and rationalize that there are people larger than you who seem healthy.
That is why it is important not to discuss your weight loss plan with anyone but to make it your own personal vendetta to get serious about losing weight. Make each day count by becoming healthier and getting serious about losing weight.
Serious means that you are going to use no-nonsense ways of losing weight that has worked for you in the past. But what you are going to do differently because you are going to be accountable and in charge of this war.
You reward yourself with each reduction on the weight scale not to a trip to Dunkin Donuts but to the gym to continue to lose some serious weight.
You may use books to help get you started because the written word resonates better to your determination to lose weight.
Tape and Dvds of people exercising is acceptable but do not just sit there and watch other people on the video exercise. You have to get up and participate and get serious about losing some serious weight.
You and your weight loss book is fine because you are meditating as you read and should write down important notes as a contract to not only read but to perform. Reading weight loss period also give you the guidance you need to stay on topic of being serious about losing weight.
Interventions from people may mean well, but can not instill in you the desire to get serious about losing weight.
Lose weight for your own good health and not for a special occasion or even for a special outfit. Why? Because these material things can not stop you from changing the game. That dress or that bikini will continue to be in your closet whether you have an apple or a slice of chocolate cake.
Get serious about losing weight for you and for yourself only. Family members mean well but the bottom line is that you are the determinant of what you consume and the food choices that you make on a daily basis. You must realize that no one is really meant to be overweight.
There is no pre-conceived medical family history that says that you have to be overweight. There is only one reason that you are overweight and needs to get serious about losing weight and that is because you have been overeating and you need to change that game right away.
You need to enlist in this war on weight gain and get serious and realizing that even if you have been overweight all of your life, you can change that game of overeating.

You most likely have lost weight in the past. But now you must find a new commitment to stay on the weight loss plan. And the most important difference in all of the other times that you went on a weight loss plan and gained weight instead of losing is because this time you changed that game and this time you are serious about losing some serious weight.

Simple Ways To Add More Fiber Today
When it comes to nutrition these days, fiber is IT!
Fiber is a nutrient that every one of you needs to include in your diet each day. According to the American Dietetic Association, most healthy adults should aim for 20 to 35 grams of fiber a day.
Does that sound like a lot? Don't worry— it's not as hard to include in your diet as you might think!
Fiber is found in all the fresh and delicious foods I love: fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, and whole grains.
There are two types of fiber:
Soluble fiber is found in oats, barley, apples, pears, edamame and other soy products, dried beans and peas, and citrus fruit.
This type of fiber may help reduce your cholesterol levels, which will protect you from heart disease.
Insoluble fiber is found in wheat bran, whole-wheat products, and most vegetables. This type of fiber may alleviate constipation by helping wastes move through your system faster.
Fiber is also fantastic because it fills you up so you eat fewer calories and lose weight!
Research suggests that diets high in fiber may also reduce the risk of developing diabetes.
Additionally, fiber may offer some protection against colon cancer, although studies have not produced consistent results.
Feeling pumped to get more fiber?
Here are five simple ways to add fiber:
Eat fruit with breakfast every morning try berries with your cereal, or slice a banana into yogurt.
Add lettuce, tomatoes, and onions to your sandwiches and swap white bread for whole wheat.
Throw a bag of mixed frozen veggies in the microwave for a veggie side dish that's ready in minutes!
Add vegetables to casseroles, soups, rice dishes almost anything is better with more vegetables!
Drink plenty of water as you work on increasing your fiber intake.
Challenge yourself to try at least one of these tips every day in the coming week — before you know it, you'll be full of fiber, healthier, and feeling fabulous!

This type of fiber may help reduce your cholesterol levels, which will protect you from heart disease.
Insoluble fiber is found in wheat bran, whole-wheat products, and most vegetables. This type of fiber may alleviate constipation by helping wastes move through your system faster.
Fiber is also fantastic because it fills you up so you eat fewer calories and lose weight!
Research suggests that diets high in fiber may also reduce the risk of developing diabetes.
Additionally, fiber may offer some protection against colon cancer, although studies have not produced consistent results.
