Have you noticed… The faster you try to lose weight the more your body will resist?
You need a sustainable solution to keep the weight off. Losing weight is about adopting healthy habits.
You see… You don’t have a weight problem, you have a lifestyle problem.
Do you need a tribe to keep you focused on healthy, lifetime changes?
R3 is your answer!
What Is R3? R3 stands for Reset, Reintroduce, and Real Life. It’s a six-week program designed to help anyone reset their metabolism, establish proper hunger patterns, break food addictions, and shift from fat-storing mode into fat-burning mode while enjoying real food for the rest of their lives. And all this is done without counting calories, weighing food, or eliminating entire food groups.
R3 has a Yes List and a No List of foods to eat or avoid. These simple lists are followed strictly during the first two weeks of the program. During subsequent weeks, participants learn how and when to add foods from the No List back into their diet in healthy ways that won’t sabotage their weight loss goals.
With R3, uou can lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle while still eating the foods you enjoy. If you feel you want to feel and look better, why not try the R3 program yourself? I’m always happy to share R3. It is a FREE program for everyone. About three times a year R3 offers a six-week challenge to get you rolling for $10. With the fee you get a great support group, meal suggestions and recipes, exercise groups, prizes and more. It is so worth it!
It’s time to create a healthy relationship with food.
I never thought I would look in the mirror and love what I saw looking back ever again. I thought those days were far behind me. Guess what? I’m looking better than ever! Stay tuned as I will be sharing in the near future.
By the way, why plan has a six week challenge beginning on Monday, June third. I can help you get registered. Give it six weeks, I guarantee you will love seeing the changes.
Often, we are attracted to products that will help us slow down the aging process, such as anti-aging skin care. But what about taking a proactive approach to staying young by AVOIDING habits that ACCELERATE the aging process?
When you read the Fox News article , overall, none of this should be new to you by now, except #8. That might be a surprise. But the two habits that you have the most control over are #3 and #4.
“A nutrient deficient diet has been shown to accelerate aging, experts agree.” That’s why we need to supplement. Several essential minerals are missing from our food these days.
“A diet high in processed foods, sugars and unhealthy fats can cause inflammation, damage collagen and accelerate skin aging.” A recent study claims that eating a hotdog reduces life expectancy by 38 minutes, and eating salmon could extend it by 70 minutes. So it’s a good idea to watch how often you eat processed foods
“Lack of exercise contributes to aging by causing muscle loss, bone density reduction, weight gain and cardiovascular issues.” No surprise here. We all have been repeatedly told exercise is foundational to our health—so what will be you’re exercise of choice. Mine is rowing..
I lost count how many posts I have seen recently about Ozempic !
Taking it for weightloss can have negative consequences on your health. I actually know a few people who ended up in the hospital from taking it and they’re not diabetic.
What if there was a natural alternative?
Berberine.
Berberine is a compound found in many plants, including European barberry, phellodendron, Oregon grape, goldenseal, and goldthread. These plants have historically been used to treat everything from infection to sores.
The first traces of berberine being used medicinally are found more than 3000 years ago, when the barberry plant and its relatives were being cultivated in China and South Asia. The stems, leaves, and bark of the plant were used in a variety of ways. Evidence also shows that berberine-containing plants were used in South America, the Middle East, and Europe to treat different conditions.
What are the benefits of Berberine? I’m hearing a lot of things. From being investigated as a treatment for diabetes; lowering blood pressure and cholesterol to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
.One friends doctor put her on these rather than Metformin. Being that I have recently been diagnosed with diabetes, I’m going to give this a try (after discussing with my doctor, of course!) to see if this will be a better alternative for me. In fact, I’m hearing phrases like “Nature’s Ozempic” because it has been shown to lower glucose levels in people with diabetes. Studies show that it helps your body respond better to insulin and prevents your liver from creating more glucose. As a result, people with diabetes may find berberine helps lower their blood sugar levels and help with weight loss..
Carbs have gained a poor reputation over the years, and many people think that these foods are off limits when trying to lose weight. There are a lot of holes in this theory, unfortunately, and it leads people to be misinformed. If you don’t get enough carbs, you’ll be left feeling sluggish, irritable and unable to focus, things that won’t help your diet.
Good Carbs or complex carbs are full of nutrients like fiber, vitamins and minerals. They are absorbed by the body much slower, which is why nutrient-rich carbs leave you feeling fuller. Complex carbs don’t cause an immediate spike in blood sugar like their refined carbs. Vegetables, fruits, beans and whole grain products are the best examples of healthy carbs that should be included in your diet.
Refined or bad carbs are found in foods like white bread, white pasta, cookies, cakes and sugar. Refined carbs have no nutritional value and are broken down quickly, which is why you get that burst of energy….and then fell sluggish afterward.
Complex carbs can help you ….

Sometimes we use “I don’t have time” as our excuse, but it’s really about priorities. As the saying goes, “if we don’t make time for exercise, we’ll probably have to make time for illness.”
If you find yourself having trouble staying committed to exercise, then grab a buddy and go out for a walk. Starting with a walk, early in the morning, during your lunch break, or after dinner is a great place to start!
Here’s what I do:
I swim or do water running nearly every day
I work out on my Concept 2 Rower every morning
I have elastic bands for a quick set of reps while watching TV
I walk my dog twice a day, he’s not always thrilled, but it does us both good
What do YOU do for exercise? Post in the comments below.
