I Can’t Lose Weight No Matter How Hard I Try. Stupid Tip of the Day:

Stupid Tip of the Day: I Can’t Lose Weight No Matter How
Hard I Try.

Woman Stepping onto Scale

Losing weight can be one of the toughest things some individuals will ever face. The number one thing in losing any amount of weight is being healthy about it. Trying to unload a massive amount of pounds overnight can have dangers. Yet, when dieting, those intending to lose a large amount of weight tend to notice the first few pounds come off quickly and then, the weight loss comes to a screeching halt. The reason for this is the metabolism is in shock of the body’s recent events.

A lot of times, you’ll hear someone state that they gain weight after a certain age, having a baby, or they dieted and gained it back, …and then some. This is because the body’s natural chemistry has changed and changed the way the metabolism worked. Taking metabolism booster supplements can help kickstart your system again, but the body also needs you to change your habit cycles to achieve the results you’re looking for. You can also consider Emsculpt NEO NYC to assist you with their treatments.

So, with that being said, I think it’s good to work out the metabolism first. By working out your metabolism first, it can shift gracefully with the new changes your body is about to endure.

Get Sleep

The most important thing for the metabolism is proper sleep. ‘Proper’ doesn’t always mean 8 hours, but it does mean quality sleep. If you tend to sleep restlessly or wake up frequently, it affects everything, including your digestion’s system of gathering and expelling what is needed and not needed. It’s best to realize

sooner rather than later that all bodies are not built the same. It has been proven that women should try to get 1-2 hours more sleep than men. This is not always reality, though; when it comes to maintaining the house and/or children something usually takes precedence. It’s my theory that this is one reason some women have a harder time losing pounds.

Getting the proper quality sleep sounds easier than achieving to most people. But it doesn’t have to be that difficult. Adding the amino acid and Gaba into your daily nighttime ritual can help with sleep, your metabolism, and brain—all at the same time. Taking Gaba as a natural sleep aid, along with Melatonin, can give you natural sleep without any grogginess or strange side effects.

Help You System

Once the body’s sleep schedule is on track, the metabolism may need some extra help working properly. The way digestion works is simply complex. Simple, the body either uses the ingested, stores it for later or disposes of it. When the metabolism isn’t working properly, it stores way too much, and that becomes fat. Taking to your doctor about adding a 400 mg. folic acid supplement into your morning routine can really boost the metabolism without sending it into some kind of dangerous overdrive.

Restart You Metabolism

When restarting the metabolism again, eating smaller portions more frequently is beneficial. Small portions are only hard in the beginning, but once you know you can eat every 2-3 hours, starvation isn’t an issue anymore.

These are just a couple of things to do without changing any diet or activity in your life. These natural treatments can make a huge impact on those trying to lose a few pounds to simply maintain a healthy weight. I always suggest keeping your doctor in the loop about any herbs, diet, or exercise you plan on participating in.

Facing weight issues can impact individuals on many levels. Finding a positive outlet to absorb your progress is important in the process. Some individuals involved in weight loss are trying to reach unrealistic goals while being at a healthy weight or slightly over. These people tend to see a different picture.  Remember, not everyone is built the same.

Create Your Own Story

A clinically obese man, John, has taken a healthy start and made a web diary (http://ourpersonaljourney.wordpress.com/) of his struggles and process. John’s story is interesting because he never saw his weight or would let it slow him down in his mind. This journal helps him see his downfalls and accomplishments. Bravely, he’s out there sharing it with others. Sharing with others is not for everyone. But doing something like taking a weekly photo or writing a diary on the positives of your progress will make you face the facts and truths. As we’ve come to learn, mirrors and minds can lie.

 Create a journal to see your own results. Believe it or not, this will help you in achieving your weight loss goals.

Stupid, Really Stupid Tip of the Day: You have to have a Date for Valentine’s Day…

By Tia Cristy

Stupid, Really Stupid Tip of the Day: You have to have a Date for Valentine’s Day to Enjoy the Day. Nope! This is not a true. Going stag can be just fine.

tipsfromtia.com glass

A found fact is, some people that go on blind dates for Valentine’s Day with high expectations, are forced with too much pressure to find perfection, and will not move forward, into a relationship.

A relationship brought together by a blind date or a mutual set-up, is probably more likely to blossom, on just an average day. Now, if you already do have a blind date or mutual set-up thing on Valentine’s Day, the tip is, enjoy it like it was any other day.

Now, if you don’t have a Valentine, that’s just fine. There is no need to go looking for a date. You just need to look forward, to having a good day. The tip for you, do something for yourself, to remind yourself, how special you are. We have all forgotten to do that for ourselves, at one time or another. Make plans for yourself to go see a movie or eat somewhere. Inviting other single friends is a nice idea, but make sure it doesn’t turn into a wallowing fest. Keep your day up beat, like any other day.

You Don’t Need to Water the Christmas Tree. Stupid Tip of the Day:

By Tia Cristy

Stupid Tip of the Day: You Don’t Need to Water the Christmas Tree.
TipsfromTia.com Decorated Christmas Tree

Well, this statement is only true if you have an artificial tree. Otherwise, adding fresh water to the tree stand is necessary every 24 hours. It may sound like high maintenance, but it’s worth it for those that prefer, the wonderful smell of pine and all the lovely traits of a real Christmas tree.

A real tree, absorbs a half to a gallon of water a day. Other methods, of keeping a longer life to the tree, is having the bottom of the trunk cut on an angle, instead of straight across.

There is still a debate on the effectiveness of adding an aspirin to the water of the tree stand, to benefit the longevity of the natural tree. Truth is, all I know is, it doesn’t hurt it, so why not add a pill to the water every or every other day. But, if you don’t have aspirin, you may not feel the rush to go out and get some.

Burns, What to Put on Them. Stupid Tip of the Day:

By Tia Cristy

Stupid Tip of the Day: Burns, What to put on them.
TipsfromTia.com Washing Hands Under Faucet

Well of course, it depends on the degree of burn. If you get burned extremely bad; losing layers of skin, call emergency for assistance!

But, if it’s a slight burn while cooking or from an appliance like a toaster or a curling iron, do not rush to put it under cold water. This is not good for so  many reasons. It takes longer for the burn to stop because it’s such a difference in temperature. If the skin has loosen, the cold will shock it to what could be a folded position.

Some people suggest butter. This is one, I’ve not tried. Butter is cold and maybe someone thought it would draw out the fire. But, putting butter on a hot surface distributes the heat evenly. When heat is in your skin you want it out. I’m not saying it doesn’t work, I’m just saying I’ve never felt like giving it a whirl.

The tip I’ve used, is to turn on the hot and cold to make it lukewarm and slowly shut off the hot to increase the cold. This method will help extinguish the burn that is still cooking inside and prevent shock to the skin.

Once the pain has been numbed, inspect the area (Do Not remove any skin if it is loose or broken, the skin in tact will help it heal quicker and cause less pain) and apply an antibiotic cream. (one with pain relief, if possible)

If the skin blisters, do not try to remove the skin. Drain the blister with sterilized items and repeat process over time if you are comfortable in doing so. If you are blistered, and unsure of what to do, call your doctor for assistance. Pus is very harmful if ingested so wash up thoroughly after the blister is broken and keep away from mouth and eyes. Keep the area clean, dry and medicated and it should heal quickly.

Deep fry that Turkey. Stupid Tip of the Day:

By Tia Cristy

Stupid Tip of the Day: Deep Fry that Turkey.
TipsfromTia.com Holiday Turkey

Holiday dinner menus are being planned as we speak. This week surrounds the cooking of the bird and some enjoy the technique of deep frying it. This is a fine way if you know what you are doing and have the right tools for the job.

We have all heard the insurance commercials telling us how many house fires happen during the season due to the big deep fry. The number one reason the explosion happens is, being unaware that the turkey still has moisture inside it, when it goes in the blazing hot oil. This causes a dispersing reaction (remember, oil and water don’t mix) and the oil explodes out, causing people immediate injury, as well as catch fire to materials in close proximity, due to the excessive temperatures. Make sure if you are a deep fryer, the turkey has had plenty of time drying out. And, if you are going to stuff it prior, follow all instructions to do so. (once again, oil and water don’t mix)

One proper tool to have if deep frying meats is a pull harness to be able to release the meat into the vat from a great distance. This can save people many painful trips, to the hospital. And, can keep firemen at bay so they too, can enjoy the Holiday.

So please, enjoy the cooking of the traditional bird, but save the deep frying to those that are willing to invest in the customary tools and time to keep safe. Best of luck with turkey dinner.
