Cheryl

I was looking for a weight loss program when I met Monica and she explained her concept of weight loss to me. At first I thought it was too good to be true and as I was working shift work in a kitchen at the time I found it so hard to not pick all the time. I loved the idea that the person looking after me had had a weight problem and knew how I felt so I thought why not give it a go what did I have to lose.

That was back in October 2008. This program has literally changed my life not only have I lost 20kg in that time but I now work with Monica helping her change other peoples lives for the better. I now love coming to work every day and feel so good about myself which is worth everything to me.

Saying thank you just doesn’t seem enough for the difference Monica and her program have made to my life.

Winter is coming.

How do we protect ourselves?

The winter chill is here and so too are the dreaded winter colds and ‘flu. So how can you protect yourself against these uninvited bugs? What you eat and your lifestyle can either put you more at risk or help prevent infection.

Try:

· Adding an extra serve of high vitamin C fruit and vegetables each day. Good choices include citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, limes, mandarins etc and cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, tomatoes, capsicum, and potatoes (unpeeled).

· Including the age-old remedies and protectors against colds and ‘flu – onions and garlic, in your cooking, as well as lots of fresh leafy green herbs, such as, parsley.

· Letting your body stock up on its supply of iron and zinc – both essential in your body’s fight against those winter ‘flu. Best sources include red meat for iron and shellfish (especially oysters) for zinc.

· Including Vitamin C-rich foods at meals can help to increase your body’s absorption of iron from food

It is also important to take note of other aspects of your lifestyle and make sure you are:

· Getting a good night’s sleep (6-8 hours is about right for most adults)

· Being active – try for some exercise you enjoy at least 3 times a week.

· Making sure you "stop and smell the roses" so you can have some balance.

Taking Supplements

I always say prevention is better than cure so taking a good multivitamin and omega 3 is essential and at this time of the year it is a good idea to take a supplement that has some garlic, Echinacea, vit c, zinc, olive leaf etc to help your body fight off any bugs or virus going around. This may not prevent you from getting a cold but it makes the duration shorter.
